"Dad, you and I have the same idea. I called my uncle on the way here just now, and he booked a table at a state-owned restaurant near our home tonight so that our two families can get together." He Chuan said calmly.
He now wanted to set up the wine quickly and move his family into the courtyard house as soon as possible, otherwise when would he be able to live a life with his wife and children and a warm bed.
"He, you arrange it for him. Xiao He, let me say something in advance. I only have this one daughter, you must treat her well. If she is wronged because of you, I will not let you go." Su Yu stared at He Chuan with his eyes straight and said seriously.
"Dad~ why are you saying this?" Su Tao's voice was a little choked. She was deeply touched by Su Yu's sincere love for her.
"Dad, don't worry. I, He Chuan, am not that kind of person. I will definitely treat Su Tao well and will never do anything to let her down. I will love her, cherish her, and protect her for the rest of my life. Just leave her to me." He Chuan promised sincerely.
"Hey! Hey! Dad wishes you a long and happy life together and may you have a baby soon." Su Yu took out two red envelopes that he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed them to He Chuan and Su Tao respectively.
"Thank you, Dad!" Su Tao and He Chuan shouted in unison.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I wish you eternal love and a happy life together!" He Yanzhi also came forward to bless them.
"Thank you, Yanzhi." Su Tao pinched the little girl's pink face.
He Chuan also looked at his sister, his thoughts drifting back to a moment a dozen years ago. Back then, He Yanzhi had asked him if Tao Tao could be her sister-in-law. He had scolded her, telling her to stop talking nonsense, saying it would damage Su Tao's reputation. She was forbidden to say that again. Back then, Su Tao seemed so far away to him, and the thought of the gap between them filled him with bitterness.
God knows how happy he was when Su Tao later told him that she liked him. But after the joy, he felt a little disappointed, feeling that he had nothing to give her. His status was not high, and his family was poor.
It was Su Tao's unwavering support that fueled their resolve to carve out a path for their future. From the initial black market reselling to accumulating capital by driving a truck to resell goods, and then to the college entrance exam, they couldn't have done it without Su Tao's help and companionship.
Everything he has today is the result of the hard work of Su Tao and him.
-------------------------------------
In the evening, He Chuan and Su Tao walked to the state-owned restaurant Guobinlou. Its rich dishes and unique flavors are well-known in Beijing. As a "Chinese time-honored brand", Guobinlou Restaurant has repeatedly hosted distinguished guests from home and abroad.
Su Xu and Su Xiao looked at the luxurious restaurant in front of them in surprise. They didn't dare to go in for a moment and hesitated: "Is this really the place?"
He Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have already booked the private room at Hongyun Garden."
Su Li felt a little regretful. If he had known that He Chuan had booked such a high-end place, he would have just let He Chuan's family eat there. This son-in-law is a good boy, but he doesn't seem to be a money-saver. In the future, he will have to help them check things out, otherwise they will spend money like water. How much money have they spent in just these few days?
Su Li complained a little: "How can we choose such a small place? An ordinary state-owned restaurant will do. We are not particular. We still need to be frugal in our daily life."
Young people just don't know how to save money and care about appearances. Su Li feels that he still needs to give them some advice.
He Chuan smiled wryly. It wasn't that he cared about appearances. It was simply that state-owned restaurants these days didn't have private rooms; they were all seated in the open hall. His uncle wasn't someone of his status who could afford to sit in a public hall, and it wasn't safe either. He usually had several security guards with him whenever he went out. The only hotel nearby that was of higher quality was the Guobin Building, and since they had hosted foreign guests before, they chose this place because it had private rooms.
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time." He Chuan didn't want to argue with Su Li. The old man was doing it for him, so he just agreed.
Seeing that He Chuan admitted his mistake sincerely, Su Li did not take it too seriously.
