In the end, none of them got to eat at the restaurant's fancy meal.
Because after Li Xiangdong came out, even Li Xiangjie could not be found.
Without a doubt, Li Xiangjie went to find Zhao Xiaopei.
Suddenly all alone, Li Xiangdong went home in a huff.
Fortunately, as soon as he got home, the calico cat, Jasmine, and Plum, who heard the commotion, immediately ran over and circled around his legs, comforting him a little.
When Zhou Hongsong returned, his face was flushed, his eyes were glazed, and he kept grinning foolishly. He was so dizzy that he almost stepped on the calico cat's tail.
Hehe~ Hehe~
Li Xiangdong covered his eyes with his hands and peeked at him through the gaps between his fingers. "It's unbearable to look at!"
Judging from Fifth Brother's appearance, he has definitely been won over by Qiao Xiaohuan.
Zhou Hongsong sat down, picked up Li Xiangdong's teacup, and took a big gulp.
Hey! That's my teacup!
It wasn't that Li Xiangdong disliked Zhou Hongsong, it was just that Fifth Brother had just kissed Qiao Xiaohuan, and if he took Zhou Hongsong's cup to drink water, and then drank from it himself, wouldn't that be like indirectly kissing Qiao Xiaohuan...
Li Xiangdong was muttering to himself, completely unaware of Zhou Hongsong's thoughts; he was simply feeling a dry mouth.
Hehe~
Li Xiangdong asked him curiously, "Didn't you say you didn't like her? What's wrong...?"
How did they end up kissing?
This is progressing way too fast!
Zhou Hongsong grinned, "It didn't look very good before, but looking at it today, well, it's quite good-looking."
The main reason was that he had a close encounter with her today. When he looked down, he noticed that Qiao Xiaohuan's face, which used to appear slightly large, had become smaller. Her not-so-high nose bridge was no longer visible; instead, her small, round nose was quite cute. Especially her pair of fluttering eyelashes, which seemed to slap his heart.
Li Xiangdong knew that this was called visual bias.
The proportions are completely different when viewed from above or at eye level, or from below or above.
"So what are you going to do? Get dumped and start dating him properly?"
Zhou Hongsong stretched out his long legs, sat casually in the armchair, and said with a booming voice, "Let's talk!"
Zhou Hongsong's approach to dating is completely different from Li Xiangjie's.
Li Xiangjie always sneaks around when he's dating; even holding hands or kissing requires him to do it when it's dark and no one's around.
Zhou Hongsong, however, did not. He directly brought Qiao Xiaohuan to Li Xiangdong and the others and introduced her.
"This is my girlfriend, Qiao Xiaohuan, from Pingfu Village. Let's all get to know each other!"
Qiao Xiaohuan didn't stand on ceremony and introduced herself to everyone in a very open and generous manner.
Only then did Li Xiangdong truly see the true face of Ms. Qiao, who so bravely pursued love.
Qiao Xiaohuan was indeed not ugly. Her eyebrows slanted upwards like crow wings, and she had phoenix eyes. However, her nose bridge was a bit flat, her nose tip was fleshy, and her lips were slightly thick. But these flaws combined gave her a charming and innocent look.
I don't know if it's natural or from sun exposure, but Qiao Xiaohuan has quite dark skin.
However, she was quite fashionable, wearing a newly designed dress from the clothing factory, a small leather crossbody bag, and black leather shoes.
Zhao Sufang consciously put herself in the position of Zhou Hongsong's parent, stepped forward, took Qiao Xiaohuan's hand, and looked her over affectionately, "Xiaohuan, come inside quickly!"
"By the way, how many people are in your family? How old are they?"
"..."
Li Lan, Li Ping, and the others followed closely behind them into the house.
Zhou Hongsong and Li Xiangdong walked at the back. Li Xiangdong nudged Zhou Hongsong with his shoulder and said, "Fifth Brother, my mother has already taken Qiao Xiaohuan as your wife."
"Oh, my aunt is so good to me! Just like my mother."
"What I'm trying to say is that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you absolutely have to marry Qiao Xiaohuan."
With his hands behind his back, Zhou Hongsong looked at Qiao Xiaohuan's graceful back and said, "Marrying her would be great! Look how big her butt is, she can give birth to a son."
Li Xiangdong: "..."
Zhao Sufang chatted with Qiao Xiaohuan for a long time and was very satisfied with her.
Late at night, he said to Li Jin, "This girl is nice. She speaks and acts with grace and composure. She's also very clear-headed and speaks with great tact. She has two younger sisters and a younger brother, and her parents are decent people."
Li Jin lay in bed, puffing on his cigarette. "Tomorrow or the day after, I'll go to Pingfu Village again to inquire. If there's a good girl and Hongsong likes her, I'll arrange it for him."
Li Xiangdong has been traveling a lot these past few years and has encountered many dangerous situations. If Zhou Hongsong weren't around, the couple would really feel uneasy.
Li Xiangdong treated Zhou Hongsong like an older brother. Since Zhou Hongsong had no parents, they had to help him with this important life event.
At this point, the elderly couple fell silent again.
Since Liu Yuxiu was sentenced and imprisoned, Li Weijun and his son Li Pengfei have kept a low profile and rarely contacted Li Jin.
Six months ago, Li Weijun unexpectedly left with his son.
Nobody knows what they went to do.
If Li Weijun doesn't leave and keeps hanging around Li Jin and Zhao Sufang every day, the couple might even annoy him.
But Li Weijun left without a word. At first, the two didn't take it seriously, but as time went on, when it was late at night, they started to feel uneasy.
However, Li Jin wasn't confused. He advised Zhao Sufang, "This child has become so selfish and narrow-minded because we've spoiled him since he was little. Let's go out and see the world, let him try his luck. Maybe that will broaden his horizons."
While Li Jin and Zhao Sufang were busy inquiring about Qiao Xiaohuan's family, news came that Guo Daming was getting married!
His marriage partner was Ma Fengxia.
Guo Daming's mother passed away, and the Guo family was small, so Li Jin led the brigade cadres to help him arrange his wedding.
The wedding date was set for the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, three months from now.
The house is already built, but the walls need to be repainted white and some furniture needs to be added.
Guo Daming was busy with the work at the aquatic product base, so Ma Fengxia came to Lijiapo every day to keep an eye on things.
The older women joked with her, saying that she was already taking charge of the household even before she was married into the family.
Ma Fengxia said matter-of-factly, "No one's home, of course I have to keep an eye on things!"
When the aunties and older women returned home, they all praised her, saying she was a good woman who could manage a household well, capable and eloquent, and that she would definitely be able to support the Guo family in the future!
Everyone was happy except for Liu Lanhua.
Liu Yuliang and his wife both knew what their daughter was thinking, and they hadn't pressured her to go on blind dates all these years. They felt that it would be good if their daughter married Guo Daming.
But now Guo Daming is going to marry Ma Fengxia from Guanyutai, and the daughter is so heartbroken that she hasn't eaten for two days.
Liu Yuliang and his wife are kind people, and they did not develop any narrow-mindedness because of this.
But their daughter couldn't continue like this, so the two of them went to find Li Xiangdong.
