"Okay, okay, I'll give you the food. I don't care. There's really nothing else you need."
Li Chu couldn't refuse his kindness. Only when everyone interacted with each other could the friendship last long.
"Brother Chu, my sister-in-law is in the department store buying something she needs for home. Why didn't you tell her just now? Xiao'e definitely didn't bring much money with her when she went out."
"Okay, you, you really don't need anything. Qiu Nan just seems to be pulling some cloth when he goes to the department store." Li Chu was a little dumbfounded.
Seeing Xu Damao's performance, Li Chu was also very moved.
Being able to behave like this at least means that his help over the years has not been in vain, and people still know how to be grateful.
"I'll leave the food to you. Just wait for me to let you know how many tables there are."
"Don't worry, Brother Chu, I promise to get it right for you." Xu Damao said in a loud tone, because he was afraid that he would not be able to help.
"Hey Damao, I heard from Qiu Nan that Xu Yang is also dating someone, why do you seem to be not satisfied yet?"
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the girl, but I'm dissatisfied with her family conditions. I'm mainly worried that Yangyang will have to bear too much of a burden in the future."
Xu Damao's face darkened when he mentioned the person his son was talking about.
"What should I say about this girl? Speaking of her alone, our whole family is quite satisfied, but her family..."
Li Chu also heard Ding Qiunan mention the situation of the girl's natal family. The conditions were indeed relatively poor.
It is reasonable for Xu Damao and others to hesitate.
The girl now sends almost all of her salary back every month, because the two are not married yet, which is understandable and no one can say anything.
But if it continues to be like this after getting married, how will you live your life?
Xu Yang himself feels a little bit stuck now. He felt so happy stealing the food back then, but now he feels so uncomfortable.
"Have you ever talked to that girl?"
"Uh...this really doesn't exist."
"I suggest that Xiao'e or Yangyang have a good talk with that girl and find out what she really thinks.
What if the family just helps the family as much as possible because they are not married yet, but will not do so after getting married? "
That's what they said, but in fact Li Chu himself didn't believe it. With the conditions of the girl's family, it would be strange not to kill him if he finally caught a money tree.
Moreover, the girl is obviously confused. She knows that she will not be able to help her family in the future, but she still doesn’t know how to save some money for herself and buy some dowry when she gets married in the future.
Seeing her doing this now is indeed filial, but it is not beneficial to her own life.
Sometimes, people still have to be a little selfish.
"Hey, let me talk to Xiao'e and Yangyang later. That boy Jiye has also secretly dated me a partner at school. Brother Chu, why do you think my two sons are so troublesome?
ah!"
"Follow the roots"
These two simple and clear words made Xu Damao, who was still crying and sad, immediately have black lines on his forehead.
"Brother Chu, we don't bring anyone with us like this. This happened many years ago."
As he spoke, Xu Damao turned his head and looked around guiltily. He felt relieved when he saw that they were the only two people in the hall.
He didn't dare let Lou Xiaoe know about the ridiculous things he did when he was young.
…
When Li Chu arrived at Uncle Shen's place, the staff happened to bring the food over.
The two of them were sitting on the sofa in the reception area, eating and talking.
"Xiao Chu, Junzi came back last night. You taught him the questions he asked about veterans returning from the battlefield, right?"
"It can't be said that I taught him. He had some ideas before."
"Oh, soldier, I'm fine as a general who charges into battle, but I'm still a little behind on being a handsome man!"
"Uncle, who doesn't come up step by step? Since he doesn't have the ability to be a commander yet, you should take him with you to teach him more. Being in the grassroots combat unit all year round will also affect his future development.
"
"Is this your idea, or did Junzi tell you yesterday?" Mr. Shen looked at Li Chu in surprise.
"No matter whose idea it is, uncle, don't you think this is the best for Jun Zi?"
There was food in his mouth, so he was still a little unclear when he said this. After Li Chu tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth, he spoke again.
"Besides, if my news is correct, you should retreat, right? Uncle, it's time to think about it for Jun Zi."
"Lao Wu told you?"
Li Chu's words made Mr. Shen simply put down the chopsticks in his hand, stared at him and asked, a wave of momentum arose spontaneously.
"Uncle, don't look at me like this, I'm timid. Uncle Wu and I never talk about anything other than household matters."
"You brat!" Mr. Shen's stern face suddenly showed a smile.
"I'll think about Jun Zi's matter again, but you, have you ever thought about taking action?"
"Should I move? Where can I move? Don't bother me, uncle, it's fine as it is now. I still need to train Wenxuan, and I will bring two more graduate students this year. I am very satisfied with the current situation."
"By the way, uncle, I want to inform you that Wenxuan and Yueyue will get married on the 22nd of next month."
"Next month? You don't want to waste a moment. You just transferred Wenxuan to the army and you are in a hurry to get them married.
I'm still anxious to hug my great-grandson, so you might as well agree to transfer Wen Hui over."
"Uncle, what can Wen Hui do here? We don't have her major here."
"I don't care, anyway, I can't have my great-grandson later than Lao Wang."
Is this also a before and after comparison?
Seeing Mr. Shen's sudden childlike mood, Li Chu felt really numb.
"Haha, there are times when you are speechless!"
Alas, Li Chu felt a little tired. Old children, old children, why do these old men like to tease him so much?
"Don't worry, Xiao Chu. I chose Wen Hui as my granddaughter-in-law. She and Xiao Yi have a very good relationship, so I won't rush her.
However, I will leave my health to you, and you must ensure that I live long enough to have my great-grandson."
"Don't worry, uncle, as long as you listen to me!"
"Okay, then we, uncle and nephew, have reached a consensus on this issue. Come, let's have tea instead of wine and have a chat!"
After eating, Li Chu left because Mr. Shen would have a meeting later.
Until he got into his car, he didn't understand what Uncle Shen wanted to do by calling him here today.
From beginning to end, not a single useful word was said, and no questions were asked. The two of them seemed to be chatting about everyday things.
This also gave Li Chu a deep headache. These old comrades were really tired. They couldn't say anything clearly and had to let people guess.
