Chapter 480: I am willful
"Xiao Yu, I will arrive in Beijing in the second half of the night. I won't call you after I arrive. I'll contact you tomorrow morning."
"Yes, yes, please drive slowly. If you really can't make it, you can stay overnight. You can come tomorrow morning or night."
"It's okay, Qiangzi and I are here, don't worry!"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Ye left home after lunch, and Wang Jianqiang went with him.
Wang Jianqiang and Huang Suwen are almost at the stage of discussing marriage, and they are going to visit Huang's family on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
Because the Land Cruiser needed to be temporarily parked at the Qingshui County Bureau as "evidence", Li Ye teamed up with Wang Jianqiang and drove his Volga back to Beijing.
"Qiangzi, talk when you are tired! Let's take turns driving, otherwise we will be exhausted when we get to the capital, and we won't be in good condition when drinking tomorrow. We can drink a pound of wine but we will pass out after drinking eight ounces. It's really embarrassing."
Wang Jianqiang was not a new driver, so it stands to reason that his feet would not be swollen after driving for hundreds of kilometers. However, the road conditions in 1985 were really bad, so Li Ye did not plan to let him drive to Beijing by himself.
However, Wang Jianqiang smiled innocently and said, "It's okay, brother. I usually only drink half a catty of wine. I won't drink more than that. Tomorrow, Su Wen will definitely support me. Her brother and her father will not force me to drink more."
"Qiang Zini is so lucky to have found a good wife," Li Ye said with a smile, "So when do you plan to get married? You and Huang Suwen are both old enough this year, right?"
The legal age for marriage in mainland China is 22 for men and 20 for women. However, due to the national policy in the 1980s, many places have limited it to 25 for men and 23 for women. But in most cases, the age of the woman is still the main restriction.
Huang Suwen will be 23 this year, so Wang Jianqiang is qualified to get married.
"This year, hehe," Wang Jianqiang said embarrassedly, "Brother, when we propose marriage in a few days, do you think it is better for you to propose marriage for me, or for Brother Peng to propose marriage for me?"
"Neither is suitable," Li Ye said directly: "Although your brother Peng and I both know the Huang family, it is better to find an elder. Do you want to find an uncle or grandfather from your family? Or my grandfather?"
"I'm looking for my master," Wang Jianqiang said firmly, "I don't dare to look for those uncles in my family. You don't know when I came back this year. They were so affectionate that they almost kissed me to death.
This one asked me to arrange a job for his son, and that one asked me to pay to live with him. Why didn’t I remember having so many relatives when I was a child? "
“Heh~”
Li Ye smiled and said, "This is normal. You will get used to it slowly in the future."
A person's status in the hearts of relatives and friends is directly proportional to how "useful" he is. The better you do, the closer others will be to you. If you owe hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, only your biological parents will be left as relatives.
Li Ye and Wang Jianqiang arrived at Zaojun Temple at midnight. They had a quick bite and fell asleep. When they woke up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock.
Wang Jianqiang first drove Li Ye to the Beijing office of Pengcheng No. 7 Factory, borrowed a Santana, and then went to honor their future mothers-in-law.
When Li Ye drove to the COFCO compound, the person on duty at the gate was not Lao Lu, but a young man he did not know. He guessed that he was still single and there was no place for drinking today.
After registering and entering the house, Li Ye felt that on the hundred-meter road from the gate of the compound to Wen Leyu's house, at least four pairs of eyes had carefully observed him.
Normally, the person who comes to my house is just an ordinary friend, but if I can let you come to my house today, then you must be my future son-in-law.
When they arrived at the door, before Li Ye could knock, Wen Leyu opened the door for him with a smile, obviously having seen Li Ye coming through the window.
Seeing that Li Ye had brought many gifts, Wen Leyu complained, "Why are you bringing so many things? Who are you showing them to?"
Li Ye glanced outside and said, "Several families outside are looking at me. If I come here empty-handed, how can I prove my identity as the son-in-law of the Wen family?"
"Phew~, you are so beautiful."
Wen Leyu curled her lips, helped Li Ye change into slippers, and then led him to the sofa in the living room.
Seeing Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng busy in the kitchen, Li Ye couldn't sit still and got up to go to the kitchen to help.
But then he was kicked out.
"You are the guest today, just stay here quietly."
I have to say that Teacher Ke knows how to take care of people's feelings. Normally, when Li Ye comes, he is the main person in charge of cooking. But today, Teacher Ke must let Li Ye enjoy the treatment of a future son-in-law.
Li Ye had no choice but to sit back on the sofa, and suddenly felt that someone was missing from the house, so he asked Wen Leyu: "Hey, where's your brother?"
Wen Leyu said: "Just like you, he is going to be a future son-in-law."
Li Ye nodded silently and understood why Ning Pingping came to the COFCO compound to block Wen Guohua before the New Year.
Blocking Wen Guohua might not be of any use, but if she doesn't come to block us, then there will be no chance at all, right?
"Ring, ring, ring~"
The phone at home suddenly rang.
Teacher Ke in the kitchen shouted, "Xiao Yu, answer the phone and ask who is calling."
Wen Leyu picked up the phone and said, "It's my brother calling."
"Hey, bro, what's up?"
“.”
"Ah? Wait a minute, I'll ask him."
Wen Leyu covered the receiver of the phone, turned around and asked Li Ye: "My brother said that we should go out and play together later, are you willing?"
Li Ye said in surprise: "Shouldn't he have a good drink with his future father-in-law today? Why did he ask us to go out and play? We can't help him do something that would offend others."
Wen Leyu whispered, "He must be feeling uncomfortable over there. He said he was going out to play with my future sister-in-law."
"Okay, you have the final say."
"good."
Wen Leyu immediately and happily agreed on the time and place with Wen Guohua on the other end of the phone, and seemed a little impatient.
Li Ye couldn't help but ask, "Are you interested in your future sister-in-law?"
Wen Leyu's eyes twinkled as she whispered, "I heard she's very powerful. I have to go see her for myself."
“.”
Because of Wen Guohua's matter, Li Ye controlled his drinking at the subsequent dinner table and let Wen Qingsheng get 80% drunk, which was just right.
Then the two of them went out, and Li Ye was thinking about how to get to the meeting place! But he saw Wen Leyu "whoosh" and grabbed the driving seat of Santana.
"You've been drinking, you can't drive, I'll drive."
“.”
"Xiaoyu, he is actually driving under the influence and driving without a license."
Li Ye was about to say that driving without a license was also illegal! Wen Leyu showed him a red license.
All right! Wen Leyu also has a driving license.
Then, the red Santana sedan, as if it was eight-tenths drunk, swayed and turned left and right as it drove towards the front door.
"Xiao Yu, did the examiner fall asleep during your exam?"
"You see it but don't say it. How can you be so blind? I...I didn't even take the exam."
“.”
"You can drive so well without taking any exams, so you must be a natural genius."
Because of some painful memories, Li Ye understood one thing very well: when a female driver is driving, you must praise her and never scold her, otherwise she will let you know what "I am willful" means.
