"What else can you think about? What did Mr. Shen say this morning?"
Ding Qiunan immediately became energetic when she mentioned this. She wiped her hair with a towel and walked over.
Li Chu stood up naturally, took the towel from her hand, and helped her wipe her hair.
"Dear, what do you think of Mr. Shen's proposal?"
Ding Qiunan, who had her back to her husband, pursed her lips and smiled: "I listen to you."
"Hey, it's such a big matter, why don't you express your opinion?"
"This isn't like you. I remember that time when Uncle Wang helped someone secure a match, you refused immediately. Why are you hesitant today?"
Li Chu was also stunned by his wife's words. Yes, he refused the same thing outright last time. Why did he hesitate this time?
Does that mean that in fact, I still want to agree in my heart, and hesitating now is just making excuses for myself.
Feeling that the hand wiping his hair had stopped, Ding Qiunan turned his head and saw his man, showing a thoughtful expression.
"What's wrong?"
Her question awakened Li Chu from deep thought. He turned her head over and continued wiping his hair.
"I was just wondering if the reason why I hesitated this time was because I was already willing in my heart."
"I know."
"Ah? What do you know?" His wife's words confused him.
"I know that you have actually agreed. The reason you are hesitant now is to find an excuse for yourself to convince yourself to agree to the marriage."
"Haha." Li Chu chuckled, and then said: "Daughter-in-law, whatever we say here is in vain. You have forgotten that I have promised Wen Hui a long time ago that she will make her own decisions about her marriage."
With a "swish" sound, Ding Qiunan turned his head again, looking at his man with a slightly surprised expression.
"are you serious?"
"Of course, of course I'm serious."
"But the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, aren't these normal? If we arrange a marriage for her, can we still harm her?"
"We think it's good, but maybe the children don't think so. We always feel that we need to pave the way for our children, but is the road we pave really suitable for our children?"
After saying that, he pulled Ding Qiunan's head away again.
"But do you really agree with her free love in the future?"
"Yes, I will indeed agree to her free love, but I will also tell her what happened today and let her make her own choice. If she doesn't agree, I will never force her."
This time Ding Qiunan did not answer his words, but waited quietly for her husband to wipe her hair clean, and then she turned around and spoke.
"Have you ever had any contact with Mr. Shen's grandson Shen Yi?"
"On the 30th day, he came with his mother to give gifts. I had never met him before, but we had a few conversations that day. Overall, I felt okay."
Ding Qiunan nodded: "Okay, let's wait until you finish talking to your daughter. Go take a shower quickly, it's getting late."
After getting up and exercising the next morning, Li Chu specially called his daughter and went out to buy breakfast with him.
"Dad, do you have something to say to me?"
As soon as she walked out of the door, Wen Hui asked.
"That's right, I have something I want to ask your opinion on."
"Uh...what's the matter, dad."
"Grandpa Shen's house we went to yesterday, and Shen Yi who took you out for a walk, what do you think?"
"No!" Li Wenhui understood the meaning of this sentence. She looked at her father with wide eyes, feeling a little incredible.
"Dad, you promised me not to interfere with my marriage. Besides, I'm not even twenty yet."
"I have no intention of intervening in your marriage. Yesterday, Shen Yi's grandfather did mention this matter to me, but I didn't agree. I was just going to ask for your opinion."
Before Wen Hui could say anything, he continued: "Don't refuse in a hurry. If you refuse without even thinking about it, you are actually being irresponsible to yourself, because you are disrespectful to that Shen Yi." You simply don’t understand that any decision you make now is made on the spur of the moment.
I hope you can seriously consider it. In the next period of time, he is very likely to come to ask you to go shopping, and you can also try to make contact with him.
If after contacting you you still feel that this person is not suitable and is not your type, then fine, you can refuse at this time, whether you tell him in person or tell me."
After finishing speaking, Li Chu turned his head and looked at his daughter sincerely.
Li Wenhui hesitated for a while before saying: "Okay, dad, if he comes to ask me out, I will give it a try."
"Very good. Didn't all great people say that practice is the only criterion for testing truth? After contact, you can decide whether to continue the relationship."
"Dad, thank you!"
"Silly girl, you are my daughter, now and in the future! Remember, your mother and I both love you. Maybe we may do bad things with good intentions, but our starting point is to want you to good."
"Yeah" Li Wenhui smiled and nodded: "I remember dad."
At the breakfast shop outside the alley entrance, the father and daughter bought fried dough sticks and soy milk.
At the same time at the Shen family's dinner table, Mr. Shen also asked the same question to his grandson Shen Yi.
"Xiaoyi, what do you think of that girl from the Li family yesterday?"
"Uh..." Shen Yi, who had just taken a bite of steamed buns, choked on his grandfather's question. After swallowing hard, he hurriedly replied.
"Grandpa, the girl from the Li family you are talking about is the tall one, right?"
"Nonsense, there is another girl. She is a couple with that boy from the Li family. They have been engaged since they were born."
"Grandpa, how do you know?"
"Sijiucheng is such a big place, so there are a lot of troubles, who wouldn't know!"
"Xiaoyi, you also had contact with those three children yesterday. What do you think of them?"
Shen Yi turned his head and glanced at his mother who was speaking. He lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking.
"They speak well, are elegant, not delicate or pretentious, and the most important thing is that they all seem to be confident."
After hearing her son's comments, Pan Juan smiled slightly and did not respond. Instead, she asked her father-in-law: "Dad, why does Uncle Wang take so much care of Li Chu and his family? It's like he is his own child."
"Care? He can't take care of him too much. If it weren't for Li Chu's parents, he would have turned into ashes by now. Of course, I might have turned into ashes too, and many people have turned into ashes."

Pan Juan and her son looked at each other. They didn't understand what the old man was saying.
