Chapter 221
Wait until Jian Li followed Wang Mengmei to the kitchen.
Only then did Jian Feng look sullen.
Tao Xingjian took the initiative to pour tea, and he meant something: "There's no hurry to drink it."
Tao Xingjian: "Uncle, Xiaoli and I..."
Jian Feng waved his hands irritably: "I don't want to listen either. She is still young and doesn't have a job yet. I don't know how many years it will take. Anyway, I'm saying this. My daughter is not in a hurry to get married after she turns 30. If you can't wait, then don't delay you."
Tao Xingjian: "Uncle, I know. Don't worry, I can definitely wait."
Jian Feng used to like Tao Xingjian very much, but now he is dissatisfied with him in every way.
"That's an ugly dress you're wearing."
His girlfriend is such a lively person that she actually likes a man who wears a suit and tie.
Tao Xingjian was too embarrassed to say it, but Jian Li would actually be happier every time she saw him wearing a suit...
Jian Feng didn't want to say anything, but he couldn't help but complain: "This doesn't count as acknowledging you, so you don't have to be happy."
Although Tao Xingjian had a good family background, was upright, excellent in studies, and a good person...
But he is old!
She is four or five years older than Jianli!
How can this be possible!
Jian Feng planned to go back and give his daughter some indirect advice, preferably to teach her the good qualities of having peers.
Tao Xingjian was very humble, which made Jian Feng unable to vent his anger.
When it was time to eat, Wang Mengmei was still persuading Tao Xingjian to eat without knowing why.
Jian Feng impatiently wanted to get the wine, and Wang Mengmei glared at him.
Jian Feng took back his hand holding the wine: "Is Xiao Tao here? Should we have a few drinks?"
Wang Mengmei: "Drink, drink, drink. You must drink! Just let Xiao Tao drink a little. You have been quitting drinking recently."
As she spoke, Wang Mengmei enthusiastically filled Tao Xingjian's glass with wine.
Jian Li: ...
Tao Xingjian said: "Auntie, I will drive later."
"It's no big deal. We all know how to drive. You can drink as much as you want. I remember that you can drink quite well, Xiao Tao? Didn't you drink a lot at the dinner last time?"
Tao Xingjian managed to come up with a pretty good one.
Jian Li: "... Drinking some juice is also fine."
Jian Feng couldn't bear to see his daughter siding with others like this, so he immediately stood on Wang Mengmei's side upon hearing this.
"Not much, drink it."
Tao Xingjian could only drink.
Jian Li watched Tao Xingjian drink four or five cups and then start talking to Bai Di.
Hurry up and grab it: "He's drunk!"
Jian Feng thought, this is called drunkenness. When he went to marry Wang Mengmei, he was drunk by the relatives of Wang Jiazhuang and vomited for two days.
Tao Xingjian also insisted that he was fine, but in the end it was Wang Mengmei who called a halt.
"I think he's a little drunk."
Tao Xingjian tried to hold on to his rationality and said, "I will go home and rest."
Jian Li: "I'll take him there."
Jian Feng tried to stop him but was pinched by Wang Mengmei from below.
Jian Li picked up the key and helped Tao Xingjian away.
Jian Feng was angry: "Is there any mother as good as you?"
Let the girl just send him back like this?
Wang Mengmei: "Is there any father like you?"
Are you planning to force someone to death?
"He wants to be with my girl, so what's wrong with me letting him drink some wine?"
Wang Mengmei rolled her eyes at him: "Don't think I didn't see you take two more bottles of white wine just now."
Jian Feng stopped talking, and after a while he suddenly sighed.
"I thought she was a little girl before, but now she suddenly brings someone back."
Speaking of this, Wang Mengmei became even angrier: "Who is to blame?"
If Jian Feng hadn't lost his phone, they wouldn't have known about it until now!
Jian Feng covered his head and said, "Xiao Li said she wanted to study for a master's degree and a doctorate, and she wanted to stay in school and work in a museum in the future."
Wang Mengmei picked up a peanut and threw it into her mouth: "You just think too much."
You haven't even started to think about the future yet, but you're already thinking so far ahead.
"She rejected Kong Fei a few years ago. I was wondering if this girl hadn't figured it out. Who knew she would go around looking for Cheng Yu's brother?"
Wang Mengmei: "Isn't Cheng Yu's brother also a good person? We know him well."
Jian Feng: “I just think it’s weird.”
Originally there were three people in the family, but now there is suddenly one more person, and this person will take his daughter away one day in the future.
Now I think the marriage system is a terrible thing that makes a young girl leave her own home and live in a stranger's home.
Wang Mengmei: "So what do you want to do?"
Jian Feng: "...I don't want to be too far away from my lady. Let's work hard for a few more years, then buy two villas and live in the same neighborhood. This way I can see my lady every day."
Wang Mengmei wanted to say that he was overthinking, but she swallowed the words back.
“Then you have to make money.”
We have money at home now, but we spend it on a villa in the capital, and we move out to two villas at a time, which is a bit stressful.
The couple chatted with each other. Jian Li came back soon and found that her parents seemed to be worried, so she asked in confusion: "Did you two have a fight?"
"not."
"So you two are planning to have a second child?"
Jian Feng laughed angrily and threw peanuts at her: "Your parents are so old, they can't have a second child!"
Jian Li took the peanuts in her mouth and muttered, "That's not necessarily true. My classmate's parents did have one."
A girl in my class returned home in her sophomore year to find that her parents' second baby brother was already one month old.
Jian Li sat next to her parents and started eating happily.
Wang Mengmei and Jian Feng quietly inquired about her life. Jian Liyi never thought that she had let the cat out of the bag in front of her parents. She enthusiastically told her parents where she had been and what she had seen.
"By the way, when do you start school?"
Jian Li: "One more week."
Wang Mengmei took out an envelope from her bag: "Invitation letter from the provincial laboratory. I was just about to send this to you."
Jian Li opened it and saw the 30th anniversary celebration of Provincial Experimental Middle School.
"I think I'll send it to Cheng Yu as well. They said it'll be open for three days, which is a week later."
Jian Li: "Then I'll take a leave."
Of course, Jian Li would not miss the school anniversary of her high school.
Wang Mengmei sighed: "You came back this time and made it."
Isn't it a coincidence? It couldn't be more coincidental than this.
…
Tao Xing was drunk for a day, and when he woke up, he saw the note left for him by Jian Li.
【The rice is in the refrigerator.】
Tao Xingjian opened the refrigerator and found the food that Jian Li had packed for him at her own restaurant.
After a simple meal, Tao Xingjian turned on the computer at home.
After returning to his hometown, he knew that he couldn't make phone calls casually, after all, Jian Li's parents would definitely be watching their every move.
When I logged into the account, Jian Li’s avatar lit up.
【Little Monkey Climbing the Moon: Are you awake? 】
【Inspector: Well, have you eaten? 】
[Little Monkey Climbing the Moon: I've eaten it. Have you received the invitation letter for the provincial experiment? ]
【Inspection: What invitation letter?】
【Little Monkey Climbing the Moon: Of course it’s the school anniversary. Will you attend it in a week?】
Tao Xingjian flipped through the desk calendar at hand and found that he still had five days of annual leave.
【Inspection: Yes.】
Jian Li sent back a happy emoji, and Tao Xingjian stared at the characters. He seemed to see Jian Li's happy expression.
During the week, Tao Xingjian invited Jian Li out many times, but all he got was Jian Li being busy in various ways.
【My dad asked me to go eat. 】
【My mother took me to get a beauty treatment. 】
【Classmates reunion.】
【Attending a classmate’s wedding.】
Tao Xingjian typed: "Student Jian Li, your excuse is a bit too blunt."
Jian Li felt wronged: "It really is a classmate getting married."
It's Lin Shuyao and her boyfriend.
While attending a classmate's wedding at the school celebration, Jian Li met her high school friends again.
Wu Feiran studied at a local university and now works in a local unit. She learned how to put on makeup, lost weight, and wore contact lenses instead of glasses. She looks a lot more mature.
Song Tao failed the college entrance examination that year, and after repeating a year, he was admitted to a university of science and technology. Now he is a senior and is said to be interning at an engineering unit in the capital.
After being in love for several years, Lin Shuyao and her boyfriend both got jobs locally, and their parents could not persuade them, so they just held the wedding.
Wu Feiran served as the bridesmaid, and Jian Li clapped wildly in the audience.
Lin Shuyao came to this table to toast and sighed that Jian Li was very different now.
Jian Li touched her face and said, "It's okay."
Lin Shuyao smiled and said, "Whether you are living a good life or not, you can tell from your face."
It was obvious that Jian Li was living a good life; the expression on her face couldn't deceive anyone.
Jian Li raised her glass generously: "Happy wedding!"
…
After the banquet, the old friends made another appointment.
After much thought, we decided to meet at Jian Li’s snack bar.
Wu Feiran stood outside and sighed: "Back then, I laughed at your family for being just a malatang seller. I really should have brought them over to see what's happening now."
The five-story restaurant, splendid and magnificent, is so dazzling that it almost blinds people's eyes.
Song Tao is much calmer now, but he is still very jumpy in front of his friends.
Jokingly asked Jian Li: "Do you want someone to come to your house to buy it? I can recommend myself."
Jian Li looked him up and down in disdain: "You don't have abdominal muscles, no!"
Song Tao: "Oh my god, I was looked down upon. I really do have abdominal muscles. If you don't believe me, I'll show you."
Wu Feiran said disdainfully: "That piece is not called abdominal muscle, it is called pork belly!"
Several people laughed.
“Time flies by so fast.”
Those days when we sat in the classroom and did homework seem like just yesterday, but today we have all become adults with jobs.
After the meal, Jian Li asked Wu Feiran and Song Tao whether they would attend the school celebration.
"Of course."
On the day of the 30th anniversary of the school, there was a long traffic jam outside the Provincial Experimental School.
Jian Li sat in Inspector Tao's car, complaining about why she couldn't get in.
Tao Xingjian glanced out the window and suddenly smiled.
Jian Li looked around: "What are you laughing at?"
Tao Xingjian: "I suddenly remembered that year when I came back from teaching, I met my sister's friend on the road. I saw her going into the alley with a little yellow-haired boy, so I followed her in. Then..."
Jian Li widened her eyes.
