"Dad, what are you saying? Why are you apologizing to me?"
"I should have asked you sooner. I always thought you might want to work at the pharmaceutical research institute in the future, but I never thought to ask you in person."
Li Chu said in a low voice.
“It’s not too late for Huihui to say it now. Xiao Chu, what are you doing? She’s still in school. She can join the army after she graduates.”
Aunt Wang found Li Chu's expression rather strange; she couldn't understand why he needed to apologize.
"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. If Huihui still wants to join the army after graduation, we'll definitely help her. Huihui, what do you think of what your aunt said?"
"Yes, Auntie, that's exactly what I think."
"See, that's fine now! Hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold."
Only Ding Qiunan understood that what her husband cared about was not when their daughter would join the army.
Instead, he simply didn't understand his daughter's thoughts.
She didn't intend to say it at the dinner table, but instead said, "Aunt, Mom and Dad, sister and brother-in-law, let me tell you, our Li Chu plans to sing for our son and daughter-in-law on the day of Wenxuan's wedding."
"Pfft...cough cough..."
This is even more exciting than Wenhui wanting to join the army.
Thankfully, everyone turned their heads away, whether they were spitting out their food or coughing from choking, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to eat today.
beqege.
Li Chu reluctantly put down the clapper in his hand, stood up, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his legs.
This was all done by Wenhui, who was sitting next to him. She took a sip of porridge and spat it all over his leg.
"No, I just wanted to sing a song for my son and daughter-in-law to wish them well. Why are you all making such a fuss?" he said while wiping his pants.
Little Black was quick-witted; it had already brought him a towel from the washbasin stand.
"Good dog! I'll give you extra food later." Li Chu took the towel from Xiao Hei's mouth and rubbed its head.
Praised by its owner, Xiao Hei's tail was wagging like a helicopter propeller.
The other dogs were eyeing Xiao Hei menacingly, and Da Sheng even bared its teeth at it, probably annoyed that it was flattering its male owner.
Xiao Hei was clever too. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the look in the eyes of those dogs and knew that if he went over now, he would inevitably have to fight them.
No matter how strong it is, even a hero can't withstand a pack of dogs, so it simply lay down beside its male owner's legs and wouldn't move, its fluffy tail sweeping back and forth on the ground.
"Dad, are you really going to sing for my brother at his wedding?" Li Wenhui asked her father with shining eyes.
"I'm thinking of that, but I haven't decided on the song yet."
"How romantic, Dad! Let me wipe it for you, let me wipe it for you." She stood up, snatched the towel from her father's hand, and squatted down to wipe his pants.
"Dad, I don't care. If you sing it for my brother and the others, you have to sing it for my wedding too, and it can't be the same as before."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wenhui felt a hand pat her back.
"Go away, you little brat, what are you doing causing trouble? Making your dad sing, don't you feel ashamed of him?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Aunt Wang, who was sitting on the other side of Wenhui, slapped her on the back.
After scolding Li Wenhui, Aunt Wang looked up and said, "Xiao Chu, what kind of trouble are you up to now? As a high-ranking leader, what are you trying to do?"
Seeing that Aunt Wang was a little angry, Li Chu didn't bother to wipe his pants anymore. He walked behind her and reached out to pat her back to help her catch her breath.
"Auntie, what kind of leader am I? It's just a nominal position. Besides, even if I were a leader, there's no rule that says I can't sing. Moreover, I'm in our own home, we're all family here."
I just want to wish the two children well and hope they will have a happy and fulfilling life in the future. Isn't that what we elders all feel in our hearts?
After stating his thoughts in one breath, Li Chu turned and glared at his wife, thinking, "So you've learned to tattle now."
His words silenced everyone present.
Li Wenhui secretly gave her father a thumbs-up; she felt that what her father said was absolutely right.
Look, this is the generation gap.
In Wenhui's opinion, it was so cool for her father to sing a song to express his blessings at his son's wedding. She couldn't wait to hear what song her father was going to sing.
"Xiao Chu, I think you should think about it again. No one has ever done this before!"
Mr. Ding, who had been keeping quiet all along, suddenly said something.
"Dad, it's not decided yet. I'm still considering it."
"We really should think about it carefully."
After several twists and turns, dinner was finally finished.
After taking the leftovers into the kitchen and putting them in the refrigerator, Li Chu saw his wife washing dishes at the sink, humming the songs he used to sing to her on and off. He became quite annoyed.
Seeing that no one was in the yard, he tiptoed behind her and slapped her across the back, sending a splash through the air.
Ah~
The slap startled Ding Qiunan, and she almost dropped the bowl in her hand.
She turned around and saw her husband standing behind her with a wicked grin; she knew he was seeking revenge.
"Hmph~" She rolled her eyes and turned back to continue washing the dishes, muttering to herself.
"You're always bullying me. Just wait, when Wenxuan and Yueyue come back from Qiaoyun's place tomorrow, I'll tell them you've prepared a song and want to give them a surprise."
Ding Qiunan knew that although her husband said he was still considering it, he had definitely made up his mind.
"That's not fun at all!"
Hearing his wife's words, Li Chu was speechless and hugged her from behind.
"Clang..."
This time, they really threw the bowl out.
"Are you crazy? We're in the yard, let go! Someone will see us!" Ding Qiunan struggled to get out of his arms.
"They're all in the backyard; it's just the two of us in the front."
"dad……"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wenhui ran out from the connecting corridor and saw her father hugging her mother from behind, standing on the pool platform.
"Ouch, where did this sand come from? It's all gotten into my eyes."
She turned around and ran back to the backyard.
Li Chu and Ding Qiunan stared dumbfounded at the other side of the corridor, unable to understand how their daughter had come up with such a lame excuse.
"See? See? Let me go! This is so embarrassing!"
“Oh, we’re husband and wife, what’s wrong with hugging in our own home? Besides, what’s wrong with our daughter seeing us?”
That's what he said, but he still let go of her arm.
"dad……"
This time, Li Wenhui was smarter; she made her voice out before she even arrived.
"I'm here, I'm here, what do you want?"
Hearing her father's reply, she finally came out from the connecting corridor.
