Li Lao Er was originally very upset because his sister's taste was really terrible.
There are plenty of men in the world, why do you have to focus on those boys from Zhao Youcai's family?
Looking back now, it wasn't my own sister who had poor taste!
My sister has such excellent taste!
The elderly Li couple couldn't stop smiling; in their eyes, Zhao Youcai was already a sure thing for them to become in-laws.
"I wonder when Zhao Youcai will invite us to his house for dinner so that we can finalize the marriage arrangements for the two children."
Grandma Li spoke softly, while Grandpa Li frowned slightly, feeling somewhat worried.
"So many days have passed, and there's still no word from the Zhao family. Could it be that Zhao Youcai doesn't even like our youngest daughter and wants to drag this out?"
Grandma Li was dumbfounded. For some reason, she started thinking along the lines of Grandpa Li's words.
"What you're saying is quite possible. After all, it's not like the Zhao family hasn't done this kind of thing before."
Zhao Youcai, that old bastard, must have known that his daughter had taken a liking to Zhao Lao Er. Now that his family is successful, perhaps Zhao Youcai is even less interested?
"No! This can't be delayed any longer. You cook a good meal at home, and I'll go invite Zhao Youcai over for dinner right now."
Old Li was also worried that other people in the village would have their eyes on Zhao Youcai's family. What if someone tried to steal his son-in-law?
That college student lost face in front of Zhao Youcai, and he had a dislike for peasants, so no one else would think of introducing a girl to Zhao Jianfei.
This is the only one that hasn't been decided yet. If it gets snatched away by someone else, we're really doomed.
When Zhao Youcai saw Old Man Li appear in his yard, he was completely stunned.
But thinking about it carefully, everyone in the family has been so busy lately that I really forgot to tell the Li family about my plans.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhao Youcai said with a smile,
"Look at my old memory, I forgot to ask my son to tell you that we'd like to invite you over for dinner after the Dragon Boat Festival."
Old Li didn't believe Zhao Youcai's words. In Old Li's opinion, it was just an excuse to stall for time.
"It doesn't matter who invites you. You're all so busy at home, you probably don't have much time to cook. Come to my house for dinner tonight, the whole family is welcome!"
After saying this, Old Man Li hurriedly turned and ran, afraid that Zhao Youcai would grab him and refuse.
These days are just so frustrating. What kind of woman shamelessly invites a man to her home for dinner to get engaged?
But what could he do? If he lost such a good in-law, he would regret it even more later.
Zhao Youcai was speechless.
His whole family is now living in Zhaojiagou. Have they managed to run away or somehow managed to burrow underground?
But since they've already said that, they haven't given him a chance to back out. What can he do?
It's obviously unrealistic for the whole family to go out for a meal; these days, no one has as much food as their own family.
But he couldn't go alone; that would be disrespectful to the Li family.
"Third brother, go to the brigade leader's house and ask him and his wife to accompany me to the Li family later."
Zhao Jianhua's eyes lit up instantly, and he was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands or which foot to step out the door first.
Zhao Youcai then looked at his eldest son and daughter-in-law, "As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, you two should also go and see what's going on with your younger brother's wedding. Just to show your support."
Zhao Jianguo readily agreed, saying that going to the Li family's house for dinner would allow him to eat something different and improve his diet; he was getting sick of eating instant noodles all the time.
As for the second and fourth sons' families, Zhao Youcai told them to stay home and keep busy.
After all, there are so many chores at home that someone has to do, and we also have to rush to make instant noodles for the military region so that they won't leave empty-handed when they come to pick up the goods next time.
...
evening.
Old Li's family.
Zhao Youcai led his eldest son Zhao Jianguo and his wife, his third son Zhao Jianhua, and the invited brigade leader and his wife into the Li family's gate.
Old Man Li excitedly went to greet him, and Zhao Jianhua handed over the gifts his father had prepared for the Li family.
This time, Old Man Li didn't refuse. He took it and handed it to Li Lao Er, telling him to take the things to the main room first.
Zhao Jianhua was also very happy, finally no longer being ostracized.
The captain and his wife had mixed feelings.
They used to think that the Li family had poor eyesight. How could they not know what kind of people their cousin's family were, living in the same village?
But today, knowing that Zhao Youcai's family is going to discuss marriage with Lao Li's family, I feel a little sour.
Especially the brigade leader's wife, who went to Zhao Youcai's house a few days after getting up to talk about her niece who was still unmarried, and who was smart, capable and very beautiful.
Today, I have the dual identity of being a senior member of the same clan and the head of the Zhao family ancestral home to witness someone else's happy occasion.
The Li family's dinner table was exceptionally lavish, with eight large plates of dishes laid out.
The scale of this meal was so impressive that even the town mayor wouldn't receive such treatment.
Old Li's daughter was shy and didn't show her face at all. So much so that Zhao Jianhua felt like he had suddenly grown thorns in his buttocks, constantly getting up to see where his future wife was hiding.
Grandma Li smiled without saying a word; she wouldn't ask Zhao Jianhua who he was looking for.
But just because she didn't ask doesn't mean her straightforward old man didn't ask.
"Jianhua, who are you looking for?"
Zhao Jianhua was eager for someone to ask, so he quickly answered.
"Is something wrong, Li Meizi? Why aren't you eating? Don't let yourself get hungry, stomach pain is unpleasant."
Grandma Li was so happy that her teeth were showing.
Look! What a caring son-in-law he is!
No wonder he's Zhao Youcai's biological son, who deserves to be recognized as an advanced individual.
Zhao Youcai was also very satisfied with Zhao Jianhua's words; this kid was really smart.
With his sweet talk, as if it were coated with honey, if this kid doesn't cause trouble in the future, he'll definitely have the best life among the brothers.
"She doesn't drink alcohol, and she and her sisters-in-law eat in her room. Don't worry, she won't go hungry."
The fact that the Li family is so united is largely due to the fact that Old Mrs. Li genuinely dotes on her daughter-in-law.
Even on such a solemn occasion as today, Grandma Li did not allow any of her daughters-in-law to sit at the table and wait around.
There were two female guests at the table: the captain's wife and Zhao Laoda's wife. Since her eldest daughter-in-law wasn't with her, Old Lady Li invited her second daughter-in-law to join them at the table.
The other daughters-in-law all went to eat with their own daughters, and the food was exactly the same as what the guests were eating.
The only difference was that there was no alcohol on their table.
Although Zhao Jianhua was somewhat disappointed that he wouldn't be able to see Li's daughter today, he was finally relieved after hearing what his future mother-in-law said.
Okay, at least I'm not hungry.
The group ate and drank at the dinner table, and in a very relaxed and pleasant manner, they settled the marriage of the two children. Little did they know that a big trouble was waiting for Zhao Youcai.
