Chapter 197 Uncle Li Confesses
In the kitchen.
After Uncle Li helped to fish out the pickled cabbage, Liu Rong urged him to wash it quickly, "Go wash your hands, I'll cut it."
"It's okay, you go wash it, or I'll do it." Uncle Li rushed to do it, and even tried to snatch the knife from Liu Rong's hand.
Liu Rong was annoyed by the "robbery" and her tone became tough, "Just wash it if I ask you to. I will do this kind of chores myself. I will call you when I need to cook later."
"Okay, you cut it, you cut it." Seeing Liu Rong's attitude that would not brook rejection, Uncle Li smiled, let go of her hand, and took a step back.
But he did not leave the kitchen. He just stood there and watched Liu Rong rinse the sauerkraut twice and then put it on the chopping board and cut it skillfully and quickly.
She pursed her lips, without even washing her hands that had been used to pick up the sauerkraut. She clenched her fists, then released them, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage.
"Comrade Liu Rong, we have known each other for some time. I am very happy to be with you. I think you are a down-to-earth and capable person, and you are sincere and kind to others. Because of your presence, ordinary days are different.
You and I are both single now, and I think we are very suitable in terms of age and personality. The Chairman once said that relationships between gay men and women that are not aimed at marriage are called hooliganism. I have deep feelings for Comrade Liu Rong. Although they are not as passionate as those of young people, this love is real.
Therefore, I would like to propose to you, Comrade Liu Rong, that we pursue a relationship with the intention of getting married.
Now, please Comrade Liu Rong, please seriously consider the feasibility of this matter. When you have considered it, please give me a reply.
With a "click", Liu Rong almost cut her hand, and the knife in her hand fell directly to the ground because she lost control of it.
The kitchen floor was made of mud, which was firm and smooth. The sound of the knife falling was not loud, but the blade cut into the mud, splashing some mud chips.
Liu Rong's whole body was burning hot, red from head to toe. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Uncle Li was also shocked. He immediately stepped forward to hold Liu Rong's hand and check if the knife had cut or hit her.
"No, it's okay." Liu Rong stuttered and struggled to free herself from Uncle Li's hand with trembling hands.
Although she indirectly learned about Uncle Li's feelings for her from Rong Mei in the morning, that was only known to her.
She has been married before, and her children are all married, and she even has grandchildren. Logically, there is nothing to be ashamed about this.
But even though she had been married to Zhou's father for decades, he had never expressed his love to her so directly.
Even though she was the first to be attracted to Zhou's father, her expression of emotion was subtle and restrained.
Uncle Li stared blankly at the empty space in the air, then took it back in dismay, with a lonely and sad look in his eyes. He pursed his lips and apologized, "I'm sorry, Comrade Liu Rong, I was too reckless and scared you. It's just that I saw the neighbors coming to propose marriage to you, and I couldn't control myself in a hurry."
Without waiting for Liu Rong to speak, he looked at her seriously and sincerely, "But I think I meet your requirements. I am 1.76 meters tall, which is also the height of 1.75 meters or above that you require. I am three years younger than you, which is also within your acceptable range. As for education and work, I am indeed lacking, but if you like something more educated, I can start reading and studying now, and try to go to night school to get a diploma from TV University.
As for work, if you think opening a noodle shop is not feasible, then I will find a relatively stable job. As for the monthly income, you will be in charge of the family's money in the future, and you can collect the rent, and I don't need to spend any money.
Another requirement is that you must own a house in Harbin. I don’t own any property in Harbin at the moment, but I can buy one right away. I will buy the two-story villa that you like. This way, I will have more rooms and it will be more spacious, so that the children will have rooms when they come to visit.
Of course, if you want to build it in your hometown, you can come back and build it anywhere. I am fine with it. As long as you are willing, I am alone and have no worries. Comrade Liu Rong, I will follow you wherever you are. "
He matched his conditions one by one with the requirements put forward by "Liu Rong", and finally added another bargaining chip, saying that he could build a house in his hometown in the countryside or come to the house. As long as Liu Rong was willing, he would be wherever she went.
Oh my God, in my lifetime, I can see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears my mother-in-law being pursued and confessed to by others.
Such sincere feelings, such tempting conditions, she was really fed a handful of old dog food...
So sweet!!!
I almost raised a light sign to cheer for the middle-aged and elderly CP I support.
If she hadn't seen her mother-in-law's shy expression, she would have wanted to cheer her on, "Promise him, marry him, marry him!"
"I, I...you, you said..." Although this was the first time in Liu Rong's life that someone confessed his love to her face to face and in front of several children, she was embarrassed and confused.
What do you mean by meeting her requirements, such as height, age, education, job, etc.
The more she listened to Uncle Li's words, the more confused she became.
Seeing that the conversation was not going right, Liu Rong was about to "question" Uncle Li about his request, but Rong Mei quickly rushed into the kitchen, walked up to Liu Rong, and grabbed Liu Rong's arm.
She looked at Uncle Li with a smile and said, "Uncle Li, look at you. You scared me. How can you keep pushing me to do this? Even if you meet all the requirements, you should give me some time to think, right?"
With Rong Mei holding her hand, Liu Rong felt like she had found her backbone and her heart was instantly at peace.
When she looked up at Uncle Li again, she was no longer nervous. She pursed her lips and said seriously, "Uncle Li, let me think about this carefully. I am different from you. I have children. I have to discuss this with them and ask for their opinions."
Uncle Li smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry. Comrade Liu Rong, you can take as long as you want. I can wait until you notify me."
Then he continued, "Well, Comrade Liu Rong, let me cut the pickled cabbage. You are not fit to work in your current state."
Then he turned his gaze to Rong Mei and said, "Mei girl, take your mother to rest first."
Rong Mei grinned at Uncle Li, "Okay, Uncle Li, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take Mom to rest for a while."
After saying that, he forcibly pulled Liu Rong's arm and left.
When he was almost done and walked out of the kitchen, he turned back and blinked at Uncle Li, and said silently, "I agree~"
He turned around and pulled Liu Rong into the kang room as if nothing had happened. "Mom, were you moved by Uncle Li's confession just now? I'm telling you, I heard it outside the kitchen, and it made my teeth fall out with sweetness. I almost had high blood sugar, otherwise I would have to go to the hospital for an insulin injection to get my blood sugar down."
During this time, when passing by the outer room, they ignored the brothers Zhou Nanxu and Zhou Zhengfu, who were like guardians on the left and right, as if they were air, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked past them hand in hand...
"You just keep teasing me." Liu Rong was teased by Rong Mei. After all, she was thin-skinned and was instantly teased by Rong Mei.
Rong Mei chuckled, pulled Liu Rong to sit on the edge of the kang, and sat down beside her.
He leaned close to Liu Rong's ear and said, "Mom, it's rare to meet a man as good as Uncle Li. We can try to date without getting married. We can just date first, and we don't have to get married."
Liu Rong, who wanted to stand up before her butt was even comfortable: ... (It seems that the children's opinions are not of much reference)
