Knowing that Shi Qi was coming back home today, Ruan Qingwan instructed yesterday that several delicious dishes for today should be delivered early in the morning.
As soon as Shi Qi and Gu Chi Jin arrived at the Li family's house by car, they saw Ruan Qingwan standing in the yard, ordering people around, and no one knew what she was busy with.
Hearing the noise, Ruan Qingwan looked up and saw her daughter and son-in-law had arrived. A smile immediately brightened her face.
She brushed away Li Yuanliang's hand on her shoulder and ran towards her daughter.
"Chu Chu. You're finally here. Come on, come on. I have some things that I'm going to have delivered to the villa later. Take a look and see if you like them."
When Shi Qi took a closer look, he realized that Ruan Qingwan was calling a few strong men to move furniture.
Three sets of fine Huanghuali wooden tables and chairs were beautifully placed in the yard, waiting to be loaded onto the truck.
Looking at the furniture in front of him with a mixture of laughter and tears, Shi Qi took Ruan Qingwan's arm and laughed:
“The furniture in the villa is sufficient, there is no need to add more.
Leave these things at home for you and Dad to use."
Ruan Qingwan sighed and slowly disagreed:
"How can this be possible? We already have enough tables, chairs, and coffee tables at home. There's no room for so many things.
I see that the two study rooms in your villa are still short of these, so moving over there will be just enough for them."
Shi Qi was helpless:
"But these three sets are too many. I can only take two.
Leave this extra set at home."
Gu Chijin came up and started talking:
"Mom, we really don't need three sets at the villa, so we'll keep the remaining one at home."
After hearing what her daughter and son-in-law said, Ruan Qingwan was shaken and turned to look at her husband.
Li Yuanliang caught his wife's gaze, cleared his throat, and nodded pretentiously:
"Just follow Chuchu's advice, two sets."
Shi Qi nodded, looked around, and didn't see Li Shaoyu.
"Why isn't my brother home? Did he go to work?"
Ruan Qingwan didn't like to ask about Li Shaoyu's affairs, but Li Yuanliang knew better.
"Well, Shao Yu's superiors called him last night and told him to go to work today.
It looks like something urgent."
Shi Qi nodded. Now that the Qu family had just fallen, there were many empty places in the military and political arenas.
Li Shaoyu was called in temporarily, there must be something extremely urgent.
"Let's not talk about your brother anymore. I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite snacks. When you and Xiao Gu go home later, bring some back."
Ruan Qingwan had a smile on her face as she pulled Shi Qi into the house.
Gu Chijin did not follow in, but stood in the yard talking to Li Yuanliang.
"dad."
This was the second time Gu Chijin called him "Dad" after entering the door.
Li Yuanliang ignored him the first time, but this time he responded to him.
"Yes. Let them talk to each other, and come with me to the garden."
Gu Chijin was silent and followed Li Yuanliang to the garden.
There is a small pavilion in the garden, not far from the swing.
On the table in the pavilion, there was a complete set of tea sets, obviously for entertaining Gu Chijin.
Li Yuanliang sat down with his hands behind his back, and Gu Chijin followed closely behind him.
Looking at the boiling water on the small stove, Gu Chijin brewed tea in an unfamiliar and calm manner.
The best Dahongpao was ruined by the new son-in-law by pouring boiling water on it. Li Yuanliang's brows twitched twice, then he calmed down.
He looked at the young man opposite calmly and shook his head in his heart.
The wild boar can't eat fine bran, and is as bad as he was when he was young.
No matter how Li Yuanliang complained in his heart, Gu Chijin placed the first cup of tea he had brewed in front of Li Yuanliang.
Looking at the cup of tea in front of him that was almost overflowing, Li Yuanliang's mouth twitched, and he felt that he should teach this kid the most basic etiquette of hospitality in the future.
Otherwise, once he gets promoted, how will he deal with the complicated people in the capital?
Others will laugh at him.
Making fun of him is making fun of his own daughter. Li Yuanliang cannot tolerate such a thing happening.
"Um... Xiao Gu..."
As soon as Li Yuanliang spoke, Gu Chijin looked up and looked at him seriously.
He looked so serious, as if he was mobilizing his troops for a battle.
"Today you are bringing Chuchu back home. I won't scold you, so don't be nervous."
After saying this, Li Yuanliang picked up the teacup and took a sip.
My heart was almost in a mess.
His best Da Hong Pao!!!
This rough man just messed it up!!!
His heart roared like a fire-breathing dragon, but Li Yuanliang's expression remained unchanged, and he even numbly praised:
"It's a good brew, but it's too bitter. I'll use less tea leaves next time."
It can also save a lot of waste.
Gu Chijin paused as he was refilling the teapot. He glanced into the pot, looking at the layers of brewing tea leaves that had filled up half the pot. He nodded guiltily.
"I know, Dad."
God knows, he has never been able to get used to drinking this bitter stuff. He doesn't know why all these people in the capital love to drink tea.
After complaining inwardly, the father-in-law and son-in-law talked about business.
"A few days ago, I called your leader."
Gu Chijin paused while drinking tea and immediately understood what Li Yuanliang meant.
"Dad, do you want to ask me about my performance in the army?"
Li Yuanliang nodded without hesitation:
"Well, you and Chuchu are married now, so as a father, I naturally have to care about you."
Without waiting for Gu Chijin's response, Li Yuanliang continued:
“You also know that Chuchu’s mother and I didn’t accompany her when she was little, causing her to suffer a lot.
Now that you are married, we don't want her to be too far away from us.
It would be best if you could stay in the capital permanently."
Gu Chijin's grip on the teacup tightened inch by inch:
"So, you called my boss just to transfer me to Beijing?
Dad, have you asked Ning Chu and I for our opinions? "
