An Yan responded politely: "Well, we already know each other."
"Only by going out and chatting from time to time can we get to know each other better. Simply meeting a few times is not enough. My grandson is a very gentle person." Bai Qingtian couldn't stop talking once he started. He wished that An Yan and Bai Shichen would fall in love with each other right away, get married tomorrow, and hold their great-grandson the day after tomorrow.
Bai Shichen said: "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
Bai Qingtian also realized that he was too anxious, and quickly said: "An Yan, come and take a look, this is the gift I picked specially for you."
At this time, a man came over with a red gift box.
When I opened it, I saw two little figures that looked like a newlywed couple, leaning against each other, standing under a tree of happiness. They were made of pure gold.
Li Rongsen couldn't help but feel that the implication was too serious.
Bai Shichen was also a little embarrassed, and Xiaoji beside him finally understood. Could this be a blind date conference? The key point is that there are more than one young men present, and he is also single.
An Yan gave an awkward but polite smile, and did not move, with no intention of taking it.
Mr. Li snorted heavily at first, and then spoke: "You are so vulgar, too vulgar, so vulgar, just give this thing as a gift, so what if it is made of gold, it is not worth much."
"This is not about money, it's about my thoughts. It's my beautiful thoughts." Bai Qingtian immediately refuted him and said, "How can a girl like An Yan survive without a reliable and excellent man to take care of her?"
"What are you busy with? This is something you should worry about. An Yan is not a member of your family. Why do you worry about her?" Old Man Li sneered twice, thinking why this old man is so ignorant that he has to pair An Yan and Bai Shichen together. Maybe An Yan doesn't like them.
"I have long regarded An Yan as my own family, and I want to give her all the good things." Bai Qingtian was also unwilling to accept it. If he doesn't like my grandson, he can like your grandson. Li Rongsen is not much better than Bai Shichen. He even has an ex-girlfriend, but his own Shichen has never been heard to have a girlfriend.
Mr. Li added, "It is up to the young people to decide their own marriages. Why should an old man like you worry about it?"
"Hey, that's not what you said before. What did you say? Parents' orders and matchmaker's words." Bai Qingtian retorted to him very rudely.
"That's old-fashioned thinking. We need to keep up with the times and let them fall in love freely and find the person they want to marry. Their life is theirs." Grandpa Li said righteously.
An Yan didn't understand why they were arguing about this, and the argument was getting more and more irritating. Even if the two old men came up with a conclusion, she wouldn't listen.
Li Rongsen was just watching the show. He knew what the two old men were going to do, but he didn't expose them.
Bai Shichen came out to smooth things over and said, "Please sit down. Didn't you invite An Yan to have tea? The tea is cold."
"Oh, yes." Mr. Li quickly stopped arguing with Bai Qingtian, smiled at An Yan, motioned her to sit down, and said, "Come, try this tea. And sweetheart, the cake, don't be polite, eat more."
"Thank you." An Yan nodded and then sat down.
Everyone sat down except Xiaoji.
"Xiao Ji, come here. I want to see how you are." An Yan motioned Xiao Ji to come over.
Xiaoji was surprisingly obedient. He immediately came up to feel her pulse.
Bai Qingtian then noticed the strange boy and asked Bai Shichen, "Who is this kid?"
"He's my new friend. I took him to the fields to farm." Bai Shichen didn't say much, just answered like this.
Mr. Li stared at Xiaoji for a while and asked, "He looks very young, maybe under 18 years old."
Xiaoji didn't answer, he seemed indifferent.
Bai Shichen was afraid that Mr. Li would feel uncomfortable, so he said, "This child is shy."
Xiaoji rolled his eyes at him but still said nothing.
After checking his pulse, An Yan said, "He's fine. He's healthy."
Xiao Ji did not sit next to Bai Shichen, but sat next to An Yan, taking Li Rongsen's seat.
Mr. Li immediately became unhappy and said, "Hey, little brat, get up, that's the adult's seat."
Li Rongsen said, "It's okay, let him sit."
"Then you sit here with me." After saying that, Mr. Li stood up and sat next to Bai Shichen.
This made Bai Qingtian unhappy, and he quickly said, "Sit down, sit down. That's the main seat, you should sit there. Juniors can't sit there." At the same time, he said to Li Rongsen, "Come here and sit with Shichen. You two haven't seen each other for a long time."
Li Rongsen knew what Bai Qingtian meant. If An Yan didn't sit next to Bai Shichen, she couldn't sit next to him either.
Mr. Li didn't bother with him and didn't give up his seat.
Today's afternoon tea was all about the two old men bickering with each other, and a few young people just listened to their bickering and came out at the right time to smooth things over and act as peacemakers.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Mr. Li suddenly felt that bickering was meaningless, so he turned his attention to Xiaoji, a clean-looking boy. He asked, "Where are you studying now? What do you usually do?"
Xiaoji looked over, as if thinking about something, and then said, "No, I haven't read."
"You've never been to school?" Mr. Li was surprised.
Bai Shichen tried to communicate with Xiaoji, but he said almost nothing. He was either silent or very frugal with his words.
Xiaoji lowered his head.
Bai Qingtian also became interested, thinking that a child of his age should be studying, so he also asked: "You should be studying in school, why are you following my family's family to engage in agriculture?"
"Where are your family members? Don't they care about you?" Mr. Li asked again.
An Yan looked at Xiao Ji and found that his face was not right. It turned red and his hands were clenched together, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
Bai Qingtian said: "If you don't study hard, you won't have a future. How are you going to support yourself in the future?"
"I just want to do what I like." Xiaoji suddenly shouted loudly, and he seemed to be very excited.
"You have to support yourself first before you can do what you like." Grandpa Li taught him earnestly.
These words made Xiao Ji fall to the ground, his whole body twitching as if he were having epilepsy, but he was not. He did not foam at the mouth or bite his tongue, but the situation was not optimistic.
Both Mr. Li and Bai Qingtian were shocked, and even Li Rongsen and Bai Shichen found it unbelievable.
An Yan immediately went over to check on him, took out a golden needle and gave him acupuncture, and then began to comfort him: "Okay, okay, just do what you like, no one is forcing you to do something you don't like."
Xiaoji then slowly calmed down, and even his complexion looked better.
Li Rongsen asked: "What happened to him?"
Mr. Li was confused. He looked at Bai Qingtian and asked, "Did we say anything to irritate him?"
Bai Qingtian expressed his incomprehension and said, "This boy doesn't look like a child from an ordinary family." He then turned to Bai Shichen and asked, "Where did you find this person from?"
