Chapter 322: A man remains young until his death
"Xiao Yue, if your uncle remembers correctly, you only graduated from high school! How can you be qualified to look down on a junior college student?
I remember that you, Xiaoyue, have always been a smart and honest child. Who did you learn these bad habits of vanity from?"
Li Ye's uncle, Cui Zhixian, finally lost his temper and implicitly rebuked Li Yue.
The eldest aunt also echoed her husband and said: "That's right, Xiaoyue, do you know how difficult it is to get into a junior college? Aiguo is third in the whole school."
As soon as Li Mingyue mentioned Cui Aiguo, she saw that everyone's faces were not good.
She quickly changed her words and said to Wu Juying, "Mom, don't think that just because Xiaoye got admitted to Beijing University, it means that undergraduate studies are like dates on a tree. If you hit it with a stick, a lot of them will fall off.
Xiao Ye got the first place in the province! Could it be that we are not satisfied with having a child who is the best in the province, and we want to find a son-in-law who is the best in the province to be satisfied?"
Although Wu Juying and Li Zhongfa were angry with Li Mingyue, after hearing this, they looked at Li Yue with even more unfriendly eyes.
But Li Yue said: "I didn't say I have to be first. Second in the province is fine."
“.”
Yang Yumin was the second best student in Shanxi Province in 1980.
But Li Yue's words completely ignited the anger in the family, and Li Zhongfa raised his hand to slam the table.
Although Li Kaijian was also very dissatisfied with his eldest daughter's "arrogance", when he saw that her parents were about to scold their daughter, how could a father not protect her?
"Today is a holiday! Let's not talk about this matter. Xiaoyue can make her own decisions. Come on, eat. After dinner, I still have to go to the factory to check safety!"
"Come on, Xiaojuan and Xiaoying, hurry up and eat. After you eat, let your brother and sister take you to visit the provincial capital. It's just a matter of stepping on the accelerator."
Cui Zhixian and Li Mingyue felt a little embarrassed.
What's going on? My son-in-law came to visit on the second day of the Chinese New Year, but you didn't even bother to have a drink? You just started eating right away?
How can you, a workshop director, check the safety of a thing? Do you really think you are such a high-ranking official?
What's so great about having a car when you drive without even stepping on the accelerator?
Li Mingyue said with a droopy face, "I'm not saying you're second-rate, you're just used to not caring about anything, right? Xiaoyue is already 24, can you see which girl around us is still single at 24? I'll be embarrassed for you if you tell anyone."
"Aunt, you are a married woman, you don't have to feel ashamed for my father."
Li Yue ignored the unkind looks from her grandparents and said coldly, "But I'm very surprised. Shouldn't your uncle introduce such a good college student to the Liang family's daughter first? Why did he think of me?"
“.”
Li Mingyue was almost choked to death by Li Yue.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year two years ago, Li Mingyue "kindly" arranged a marriage for Li Ye. The girl was dark and ugly, and Wu Juying was so angry that she cooked a table full of vegetarian dishes that day and said, "If you want to eat, eat. If you don't, get out."
Therefore, when Li Yue brought up the old matter again, it was as if Li Mingyue was trying to be a matchmaker for Li Yue again, which seemed to have bad intentions.
Li Mingyue's face turned completely black, and she immediately shouted, "Second brother, I'm here to find you a marriage with good intentions, but you take my kindness for granted? Do you really think that being good-looking can earn you a living?
You are more handsome than my Zhixian. Zhixian has jumped three times in ten years, but how many years have you not moved?
When pairing up a man and a woman, we need to look at their abilities, backgrounds, and prospects. Do you think that college students only look at faces like you do? They mainly look at inner qualities. If Zhixian hadn’t said a lot of good things about Xiaoyue, they would have looked down on Xiaoyue! "
Li Mingyue finally couldn't hold it in any longer and poured out all her pent-up anger. However, because her words sounded quite reasonable, Li Kaijian, Li Yue and others were unable to retort back for a while.
My uncle Cui Zhixian was also beaming with joy, feeling very proud.
Although he looks ugly, he jumped three levels in the township government in just ten years. He is definitely a middle-aged talent with great potential.
"Aunt, what you said is wrong."
Li Ye finally took action. If his whole family was kicked out by Li Mingyue today, he would really lose his reputation as the time-traveling emperor.
"What did I say was wrong, Xiao Ye, what did I say was wrong?"
Li Mingyue was close to going berserk. She was not the type to suffer any loss. She was already feeling very aggrieved today because she accompanied Xiaoxin to the house. Now she was repeatedly humiliated. How could she bear it anymore?
I have already humbled myself so much, do I have to kowtow to you?
Li Ye said calmly: "First of all, it was Grandpa who helped my uncle jump to the first level. Otherwise, he would never be able to jump up in his life, so it can't be entirely attributed to his ability."
Cui Zhixian: “.”
Li Mingyue: “.”
My aunt and uncle were embarrassed.
[Children are children. How can they speak the truth? If others hear it, how bad will it be?]
"Secondly, face is actually very important. After all, no one wants their son or grandson to be ugly, right?"
Li Ye actually wanted to say "A man remains young until he dies."
After all, at least 95% of male friends prefer pretty faces before the age of 40.
All the connotation and inner beauty are nothing compared to fair skin, beautiful face and long legs.
However, if it is said so bluntly, it would be too disrespectful to women, so Li Ye tactfully repeated an argument he had mentioned before - the blood genetic relationship between beauty and ugliness.
After Li Ye said these two sentences, he could hear his aunt and uncle's wheezing, and they must have been so angry that their lungs were about to explode.
Li Ye felt that the time was right, so he said to his grandfather Li Zhongfa: "Grandpa, I remember we still have half a bottle of Erguotou at home. I can't find it today. Come with me to look for it. Don't let the mice drink it. It will be troublesome if they get drunk to death."
Li Mingyue rolled her eyes. What happened today? Who is the drunk rat? Do you want your half bottle of Erguotou?
However, Li Zhongfa knew his grandson and would not ask him to leave for no reason. He waved his hand and followed Li Ye out of the main house.
When he got to his room, Li Ye didn't intend to hide it and said directly: "After my sister went to Beijing, she might have a friend from Beijing University, and she will graduate this summer."
Li Zhongfa was shocked and asked, "Dating a friend? You mean dating someone? Xiaoyue is really dating someone who is an undergraduate at Peking University."
Li Ye nodded silently, saying, "Grandpa, you are so smart. You finally guessed it right."
Li Zhongfa immediately said seriously: "Xiao Ye, tell me clearly what is going on. This is not a joke."
Li Ye said angrily, "Why don't you just ask my sister? She kept it a secret from me, and I was just guessing."
"Sit down, sit down,"
Li Zhongfa directly pulled Li Ye to sit down: "Tell grandpa in detail, tell me as much as you know."
"That guy is level 80. I've known him for almost two years. Later, he brought his mother and sister to the capital. He is a filial son. His mother seems to like my sister very much and said that she would never burden her son. But considering our family conditions, she can't say she is a burden."
Li Ye explained Yang Yumin's situation and added, "One more thing. Based on various analysis, he will most likely be assigned to the Central Selection Department after graduation. The history of the Central Selection Department can be traced back to 1924."
"Don't talk nonsense. Do you need to teach me these things?"
“.”
Li Zhongfa interrupted Li Ye's narration with a wave of his hand.
He was a soldier in 1939, so he shouldn't be too familiar with the twists and turns involved.
Li Ye was quite indignant about Yang Yumin's desire to be his brother-in-law, but Li Zhongfa did not think the same way as him.
In a small sense, it means you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. In a big sense, it means you are a potential stock with a bright future!
"Xiao Ye! I don't know much about you young people, but he likes your sister, what do you want?"
“.”
Li Ye really found Li Zhongfa's worries funny.
Finally, he asked mysteriously, "Grandpa, have you ever been young?"
Li Zhongfa: “.”
Li Ye pointed towards the main house and said, "Although my grandmother is old, I know she was very pretty when she was young. The nurse's grandmother was also very pretty. What were you thinking about when you were young?"
Li Ye really looked down on such men who said one thing and said another. All the men in the room kept saying that they couldn't look at the face. But look at Grandma Wu Juying, look at stepmother Han Chunmei, think about the nurse Grandma Gao, and even Luke Luke's aunt Li Mingyue. The evidence was damn solid and irrefutable!
Who doesn't want to find a beautiful wife? Why pretend to be so noble?
Damn, so hypocritical.
"Fuck you, you bastard~"
"Clang, clang, clang, clang"
“.”
Everyone in the main room heard the noise and watched as Li Zhongfa, who was almost sixty years old, chased Li Ye out of the house like a tiger chasing a rabbit. They were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.
Li Juan and Li Ying were both extremely worried: "What did brother say? How could you make grandpa so angry? You ran in the wrong direction. You should have run behind grandma and begged her for help!"
My aunt Li Mingyue and my uncle Cui Zhixian were so happy that their faces were beaming.
"A young man is a young man, not mature at all, not stable at all."
A few minutes later, Li Zhongfa came back angrily and walked into the main house without saying a word.
Aunt Li Mingyue hurriedly brought a cup of tea to her father.
"Dad, drink some water and calm down. Xiaoye is actually a good kid, but he is young and ignorant."
Li Mingyue was not a fool. She knew that she absolutely could not say that Li Ye was bad at this moment. She could only say that Li Ye was good.
But Li Zhongfa pushed Li Mingyue's tea away and said in a loud voice, "Tell me! What brings you two here today?"
Li Mingyue was stunned, feeling bitter: "Dad, today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, we haven't been to your house for a year, and you are still sending us away~"
"Did I chase you away?" Li Zhongfa glared at him and said sternly, "Tell me the truth, don't play tricks on me. I don't know what you have been up to since you were a child. If you are offering kindness for no reason, you must be a traitor or a thief. How can you hide it from me?"
“.”
Li Mingyue held it in for more than half a minute, and finally forced a smile and said, "Dad, the joint venture in the county is a big project, it doesn't matter who we use.
You will retire next year, but we can't let others take over the kingdom we have built, right? Zhixian and I are from the same family, please transfer us. Zhixian has come to the county, so I can't stay in Binhe Township anymore."
"Don't say that. It's absolutely impossible," Li Zhongfa refused directly. "All candidates for management are strictly screened. I don't have the power to make the decision."
Li Mingyue finally burst into tears.
"Dad, don't you care about family affection at all?"
"How can I not care about family affection?" Li Zhong said coldly: "Boss! I haven't told Li Ye in detail what Aiguo did! This is the greatest family affection."
Li Mingyue's tears fell, and she couldn't help but said, "Dad, no matter how capable he is, he is still a junior!"
“Heh~”
Li Zhongfa couldn't help laughing.
My eldest daughter still doesn’t understand who has the final say. How can she be allowed to join a joint venture with her level of ability?
Would she be content to be a front-line worker after joining the joint venture factory?
That must be a management position.
Are you kidding me?
Today, Li Zhongfa agreed to Li Mingyue. Do you believe that Hong Kong Island will withdraw its investment tomorrow?
