Chapter 117 They are all old-fashioned
(There is a little romance plot, if you don't like it, please skip to the next chapter)
The Wen family had no intention of letting Li Ye marry into the family, but because it was still early for school to start, they invited him to stay at their home for a few days.
But Li Ye refused several times and finally agreed to stay at Wen's house for only one day.
Although Mr. Ke’s family is warm and welcoming, they are not a family after all. Li Ye thinks it is better for him to be a little more “reserved”.
Teacher Ke agreed very kindly, but Wen Leyu was a little unhappy. Although nothing could be seen on his face, when he put the kettle in Li Ye's room, it fell with a loud bang.
Li Ye smiled and said nothing. The girl knew that he needed water in the middle of the night after drinking, so it was very considerate of her to bring him a pot of water. Why was he angry with her at this time?
Speaking of temper, it is also a by-product of two people going from strangers to lovers!
Seeing that Li Ye didn't respond to her, Wen Leyu walked away with puffed cheeks.
Then Teacher Ke called Wen Leyu over and said with a smile, "How is it? Did I guess it right?"
Wen Leyu pouted angrily and said, "He is just pretentious."
Teacher Ke shook his head and said seriously: "Li Ye is not hypocritical at all. He only stayed at our house for one day. He was affectionate and knew his limits. When Li Ye asked you to go to his house for the New Year, weren't you unwilling?"
Wen Leyu was stunned, but still muttered: "He is not a girl, why should he be so tactful?"
Teacher Ke sighed helplessly.
Her daughter is actually very smart. During the days since she returned to the capital, she has performed very well, whether meeting her elders or interacting with her former friends, even better than she expected.
It can be said that the hardships of the past few years not only did not make Wen Leyu shy or fearful, but instead honed her character and made her sensitive and calm in dealing with things.
Compared with his peers who have stayed in Beijing, Wen Leyu is not inferior and even better in some aspects.
But once he got involved with Li Ye, Wen Leyu seemed like a different person. His emotions far outweighed his rationality. He did whatever he wanted and didn't care about the opinions or feelings of those around him at all.
"Okay, haven't you been looking forward to him coming? Now that he's here, don't get angry. Get along with him and get to know him better. If there's anything that doesn't go well with you, remember to tell me. Remember?"
"I know, I know. You are really nosy."
Wen Leyu walked away in her slippers, slamming her door shut. She seemed even more irritated than she was with Li Ye just now.
Teacher Ke shook his head and fell into deep thought.
My own daughter actually talked back to me. When was the last time she talked back to me?
It seems that when I was less than ten years old, I insisted on reading picture books on the pretext of "learning historical knowledge"?
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. All of Wen Leyu’s behavior these days has “great intentions”.
After returning to Beijing, Wen Leyu quickly realized that there was an obvious "family gap" between her and Li Ye.
The elders and friends around me say that they are open-minded, but deep down they actually care about "equal status", and this trend is very serious.
There are even some old friends who are trying to bring the younger generation together.
After the little girl realized this, she immediately learned how to ride a bicycle and cleaned up Li Ye's room.
She was confused and didn't know how to tell her parents directly, so she expressed her persistent desire to everyone around her in her own way.
[Watch carefully, pay attention, I'm going to choose him, don't give me any nonsense! ]
"If you want to choose him, I won't stop you! But you have to take a close look at him, right?"
Teacher Ke doesn't hate Li Ye. In fact, as Wen Leyu said, he quite likes Li Ye.
She is good-looking, courageous and knowledgeable, and has a good temper with her husband and son. More importantly, the experience she has with her daughter has given the two of them a deep emotional foundation.
Compared with the common couples nowadays who "get married first and then fall in love", couples like Wen Leyu and Li Ye are indeed rare.
Wen Leyu's personality changed drastically before, and she didn't talk to anyone anymore. It was Li Ye who changed her, gradually making her cheerful and lively, until now she dared to talk back to him.
What young girl doesn’t talk back to her mother?
Therefore, Teacher Ke saw all the changes in Wen Leyu and was happy about them.
But at the same time, if Li Ye had "problems", the blow to Wen Leyu would be devastating, so Teacher Ke asked Wen Leyu to get along well with Li Ye and work together carefully.
As a result, today she said "if they don't get along", which made my precious daughter angry.
Teacher Ke was also a little troubled. Who wouldn't love his own daughter? Teacher Ke asked Wen Leyu to "get to know" Li Ye well, and that was not just a joke.
Because this means that Li Ye has entered the "review" stage. Once confirmed, the Wen family will treat Li Ye as a future son-in-law and invest resources in his training.
"Qingsheng, Qingsheng"
Teacher Ke wanted to talk to her husband about her troubles, but Wen Qingsheng had already fallen asleep.
Teacher Ke was so angry that he kicked him hard. He usually boasted about how much he could drink, but when it came to the critical moment, he got drunk and really let him down.
. . . . . . .
The next day, Li Ye appeared to be "drunk" and got up a little later. The three people at home who were working were also up.
This made the father and son of the Wen family have a better impression of each other. If two men who had experienced the alcohol test in the north could not drink more than a young boy, and in the end it was Teacher Ke who had the final say, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the adults?
Wen Qingsheng told his daughter: "Let him sleep a little longer. He is still too young and inexperienced. Make him a bowl of soup later."
Wen Leyu actually made a big bowl of soup and brought it to the dining table to let it cool.
Li Ye couldn't sleep any more, so he waited for the three people who went to work to leave, then got up quickly to eat and drink soup.
Wen Leyu sat opposite him, watching Li Ye finish his breakfast, and then asked with a hint of jealousy: "You can eat so much? Why aren't you being pretentious? Why aren't you being distant?"
Li Ye knew what the girl meant, and said with a smile: "I have no status, how can I live in your house? Otherwise, you can just marry me, and I will stay at your house tomorrow."
“.”
Wen Leyu stared at Li Ye in a daze, totally unable to adapt to such "tiger words".
This was in 1982, and the concept of living off a gigolo wasn’t popular yet!
"Who wants to marry whom? Hahahaha"
Wen Leyu blushed and stammered a few words, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Li Ye was also excited when he saw Wen Leyu laughing heartily.
No matter how mature or steady a girl of this age appears to be on the outside, the youthfulness in her heart cannot be eliminated.
Moreover, Wen Leyu only shows this romantic nature to himself.
Outsiders will only see a cold, indifferent and steady Wen Leyu.
. . . . . . . .
After dinner, Wen Leyu took out the itinerary and asked Li Ye to choose where to visit first.
Li Ye said: "Let's go to the train station to pick up the luggage and give it to Jin Peng and the others, and then go to eat, go shopping, and watch a movie."
"Is Jin Peng here too?"
Wen Leyu had been eating at Erliangdian for more than half a year, and Jin Peng was the one who delivered the food there, so of course she knew him.
"Well, we've been here for a few days now. We're staying at a hotel east of the train station. It's not far away. It won't take us more than an hour."
Li Ye asked Jin Peng and Hao Jian to make arrangements in advance and choose one person to go to Beijing with him. The first thing they did was to find a house.
In 1982, the prices of houses in Beijing had begun to rise slowly. More importantly, many good houses were sold at a rate of one less each time. Li Ye was not the only one with a good vision.
"Then let's go! We can watch a movie in the morning, then go to Shazikou to eat fried liver, and visit the Forbidden City and the Memorial Hall."
Wen Leyu knew the itinerary plan well and made arrangements quickly, preparing everything including a water bottle, an umbrella, etc., making Li Ye feel like a "real man".
"Here, try putting it on."
Li Ye took out the two pairs of "couple style" sneakers from his bag.
It would take several more years for sports shoes to become widely popular in China. The "travel shoes" of the 1980s were foreign invaders that had an inseparable relationship with Huili.
Li Ye took advantage of the time difference to buy it in advance, and it is still very fashionable.
Wen Leyu's eyes narrowed, just like a kitten that was being petted.
I have known for a long time that Li Ye bought her a pair of shoes, and today I can finally try them on.
After putting it on, Wen Leyu found that it was the right size and moderately soft and hard. Especially the several pairs of socks that Li Ye matched with it, which made Wen Leyu very satisfied.
For a long time, people in the south have been more "meticulous" in their lives than people in the north. Xinchao's sports shoes may be bought at the Friendship Store, but all kinds of socks from Hong Kong Island are considered "ignored" daily necessities.
However, just after Wen Leyu changed into sneakers with satisfaction, he found that Li Ye was staring at his shoe cabinet, looking at a pair of brand new high heels.
“Is this your shoe?”
"Yeah, my mom bought it for me."
"Wear high heels today!"
“Not very suitable.”
"Yes, these shoes are not easy to wear. Jin Peng's girlfriend fell twice after wearing them."
Wen Leyu rolled his eyes at Li Ye, as if he could see through some of his little thoughts.
The girl took out her high heels and put them on, then walked back and forth twice in the living room for Li Ye.
She was graceful and elegant, with a natural and generous figure, her waist swaying slightly, and her heels making crisp sounds, which amazed Li Ye.
My daughter Xiaoyu has great potential.
But unfortunately, Wen Leyu only walked around with Li Ye twice and took it off when he went out.
"My mom said that high heels should be worn in different occasions. It's better not to wear them at school, at work, in serious occasions, or in front of elders, as it will give people the impression that you are frivolous and unstable."
Li Ye was stunned for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "They are all old-fashioned and don't know how to appreciate beauty."
