Chapter 43 Daughter-in-law Selection
Thinking that Yue Mingyuan had secretly liked that girl for a long time and that she was just Yaya's mother to him, Shen Zhiqiu immediately regained his sanity.
Liking someone can be a matter of one person, but love is a matter of two people.
"Zhiqiu, what do you want to eat? I'll pick it up for you." Yue Mingyuan asked Shen Zhiqiu in a low voice: "How about the pork ribs with preserved plums?"
"No, no, I can do it myself." Shen Zhiqiu waved his hand, picked up the dish from the plate closest to him, lowered his head and started eating in small bites.
Yue Mingyuan's hand holding the plum pork ribs froze in the air for a moment, he slowly withdrew it, and tentatively placed the plum pork ribs next to Shen Zhiqiu's plate.
This was a dish that Shen Zhiqiu liked very much, and he specifically asked Aunt Zhao to make it for her.
"Thanks."
Seeing that Chen Zhiqiu was reluctant to move the spareribs, Yue Mingyuan loosened his grip on the chopsticks and lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in them.
I thought that after a month of getting along, things would become different between them.
It seems that she can accept his family and accept that he is Yaya's father, but she cannot accept that he is her lover.
Every time he tried to get closer to her, she would step back, always keeping a distant and polite distance from him.
Shen Zhiqiu kept glancing at the ribs. They looked delicious, making her want to pick them up with her chopsticks. Just like how good Yue Mingyuan was to her, she couldn't help but want more.
Finally, he couldn't help it, and Shen Zhiqiu quickly picked up the piece of ribs and put it into his mouth.
It’s sour and sweet, really delicious.
Just like her mood at the moment.
The banquet did not end until after two o'clock in the afternoon. After Ye Jiawen helped to clean up, he came to Qin Liping accompanied by Shen Zhiqiu.
"Brother Qin, the information you gave me is very useful to me. Thank you so much."
Ye Jiawen bowed vigorously to Qin Liping, and Qin Liping was so scared that she quickly hid to the side. She reached out her hand to support her: "Miss Ye, you are too polite."
"Brother Qin, I heard that you like to drink tea. This is just a small thank you gift. It's not a big deal."
Ye Jiawen handed over a paper bag, which contained West Lake Longjing tea from Shangyuanlou.
Her financial resources were limited, and this was the best tea she could buy.
"What a coincidence, I just happen to be running low on stock, Miss Ye, so I won't be polite then." Qin Liping took it with a smile.
"Old Yue, is that girl the cousin of Xiaoyuan's wife?" Ling Chao touched Yue Guohuai's arm and raised his chin towards Ye Jiawen.
He had seen Ye Jiawen's performance just now. This girl had a straightforward personality and he thought she was quite good.
"Want to match her up with Xiaohang?" Yue Guohuai guessed Ling Chao's thoughts.
Ling Chao laughed and nodded at Yue Guohuai: "Old Yue, you have such a sharp eye! If someone didn't know you, they would think you were a worm in my stomach."
"As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what shit you're going to do!"
Yue Guohuai touched his chin and said, "But having said that, Jiawen is indeed a good match for Xiaohang. No, your Xiaohang is not worthy of Jiawen. Jiawen is a graduate student."
"Graduate student?!" Ling Chao's eyes lit up, and he liked Ye Jiawen even more.
His family members are all rough and unsophisticated, and he likes children who are good at studying.
Ling Chao raised two fingers: "Old Yue, two bottles of Moutai and two bottles of Zhonghua."
"If Jiawen is willing to meet my brat, he will give me four pounds of hairy crabs and eight pounds of dim sum from Fuxingyuan."
"Oh my, this stingy guy is spending a lot of money."
Huo Yingnian teased Ling Chao and looked at Yue Guohuai: "Old Yue, do you want to agree to Old Ling?"
"If you don't agree to him, I don't think he will be able to sleep tonight."
"Come on, he won't be able to sleep?"
Yue Guohuai was surprised to find that he spoke too loudly. He glanced at Yaya and saw that she was not woken up by him and was still sleeping soundly. He quickly lowered his voice.
"Back then, the shell exploded only half a meter away from him, but it didn't wake him up. I had a hard time digging him out of the trench and thought he had died gloriously!"
"I almost cried, but he woke up. Old Huo, do you think this old guy owes me something?"
"owe!"
Huo Yingnian was eager to see the fun and urged Ling Chao, "Old Ling, you don't know what Old Yue likes. Give him your fishing rod and he will definitely agree to your request immediately."
When Yue Guohuai heard this, his tiger eyes sparkled and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Lao Ling, that fishing rod can express your sincerity."
"Fuck, no... Old Huo, are you fucking helping me or cheating me?" Ling Chao glared at Huo Yingnian.
"Of course I'm helping you. If you don't sacrifice your child, you can't catch the wolf. If you don't sacrifice your fishing rod, you can't persuade Lao Yue, right?"
"You mentioned cigarettes, alcohol, etc., Lao Yue is not interested in them now. He wants to quit smoking and drinking."
Huo Yingnian pointed at himself and said, "Me too."
"Are you two going to become immortals? You've given up smoking and drinking, so what's the point of living? Are you two not going to eat meat anymore?"
"You still have to eat meat and drink wine, but just have a drink or two occasionally, and don't drink more."
Yue Guohuai advised Ling Chao: "Old Ling, you should quit smoking if you can. Cigarettes and alcohol are not good things and are bad for your health."
Ling Chao waved his hands: "No! If you two are willing to quit, then go ahead and quit. Don't drag me into this matter! I would rather die than quit smoking and drinking."
Knowing that Ling Chao was stubborn, Yue Guohuai stopped trying to persuade him and returned to the matter of helping: "I'll let Jiayin talk to Zhiqiu, and then let Zhiqiu talk to Jiawen to see what she thinks."
"If the girl doesn't have any ideas for the time being and is only focused on her studies, then we can't force her, right?"
"Old Yue, just your words are enough. It is normal for children to focus on their studies. We are willing to wait."
"As long as my brat doesn't find one himself, that girl Jiawen is my designated daughter-in-law. She can see her whenever she wants."
"Okay, I'll have Jiayin pass on your words to Zhiqiu. We will definitely speak well of Xiaohang. He grew up under my watch, and I know his character."
"If it's someone I don't know the whole story of, I really don't want to help." Yue Guohuai said bluntly: "Jiawen is a pretty good girl."
"Xiaoyuan's wife is not bad either, neither humble nor overbearing, neither anxious nor flustered, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, a perfect match for Xiaoyuan."
Yue Guohuai nodded in agreement: "Zhiqiu is a good person. She is now a great contributor to my family and gave birth to a good grandchild like Yaya."
"Oh my, my dear grandson is awake?"
Yue Guohuai saw Yaya yawn and slowly open her eyes. He put Yaya on the small cart beside him, lifted up Yaya's two little arms, pulled them gently, then grabbed her ankles and stretched her calves.
Then stroke from the little arms to the little feet.
This is one of the steps for Yaya to wake up.
"Grandpa Yue, what are you doing?" Huo Jiusi asked curiously.
Yue Guohuai explained to Huo Jiusi: "Your aunt Meng Fang said that giving babies more massages and auxiliary exercises like this can promote their growth and development."
"Is that so?"
