I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 396 A toast to our dad

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Li Qiyuan declined Zhao Haiqi's sincere invitation to dinner on the pretext of catching a train. At this point, the father and son left the Zhao family and returned to the AllBright Apartment.

At Lao Li's strong request, Li Peifeng also called Xu, Huang and Wu over for dinner.

The three girls also agreed and were sure to be there on time.

Li Qiyuan obviously wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with his son's three girlfriends, with the intention of persuading them to throw away their love thoughts, give up Li Peifeng, and part ways from now on, and no longer entangle and torture each other.

Lao Li didn't expect all three of them to listen, but he could persuade one of them to do so.

And Mr. Li also knew his father's thoughts very well, so he was very dissatisfied.

While the father and son were shopping for groceries, he had been trying his best to persuade Li Qiyuan to give up this idea.

But Lao Li may have considered the negative impact of two people discussing these "family scandals" in public, so he kept silent and did not respond.

After arriving home, while the father and son were busy working in the kitchen for dinner, Li Peifeng was still chattering while chopping vegetables.

And because there were only two people at home, he was not afraid of being heard by outsiders, and his voice became louder.

"Dad, do you know what this is called? What you are doing is called beating mandarin ducks. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin one marriage. Why? Because love is far more precious than anything else in the world, and as a result, you are acting like this Dad is ready to break up three marriages for me, how much evil do you have to do? How can you bear to ruin my happiness? "

"I can't bear it, because it's you who did the evil and ruined the happy marriage of three girls. Just shut up. I can save one of them if I can."

"I...then are you going to Man Ning's house tomorrow?"

"I made it clear to her and asked her to break up with you. What else would I do?"

"What if I can't explain clearly? What if they insist on being with me no matter how much you try to persuade me?"

Li Qiyuan sneered: "I think you are ignorant. Your father and I have only married one wife in my life, but you still dare to marry four...marry four! Do you know what the concept is?"

"What concept?"

Li Peifeng suddenly realized after asking: "I know, you are jealous, right? You must be jealous...I always thought you had a broad mind, as boundless as the sea...But you are actually jealous of your own son? How can I be jealous of others?" I understand, why are you jealous of this? Your four daughters-in-law honor you and my mother, and you are still not satisfied?"

"fart!"

Li Qiyuan said angrily: "Let me ask you, do you know what the concept of four wives is? That will shorten your life! And once a man reaches middle age, his health deteriorates. I am no match for your mother now..."

The last half of the sentence was spoken in a very small voice!

If it weren't for Li Peifeng's ears, he really couldn't hear, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but laugh: "This is definitely not a problem. I know my own body, and they also know that they are not the opponents... Hey, Dad , I will ask Tianxuan to give you some medicine when she comes later? She has a way."

"Go away and keep it for yourself!"

While the father and son were bickering, the door opened and Wu Wenyue, whose workplace was closest to home, came back. She took off her coat, put on her slippers and immediately walked into the kitchen to help cook.

"Uncle, please rest and let me come."

Wu Wenyue quickly rolled up her sleeves, decisively took the vegetables from Li Qiyuan's hand and started washing them.

What a nice girl!

Li Qiyuan knew Wu Wenyue well. He was virtuous, hard-working, had a business acumen, and made a lot of money. He was in good health, and his IQ and height matched Li Peifeng. The child born between them would definitely be both civilized and martial!

Originally, the couple's favorite daughter-in-law candidate was Wu Wenyue, but they didn't expect that Li Peifeng would be the first to marry Zhao Qingge. This shows that the son's favorite is his mentor. In addition, when the parents meet to catch up, Li Qiyuan can only Zhao Qingge was selected as the final candidate for daughter-in-law.

Sorry, Wenyue!

Li Qiyuan took a deep breath, stood beside her and said solemnly: "I just came back from Qingge's house, and we talked a lot..."

Lao Li told the content of the meeting between the two parents in detail, as if he was talking to himself and reviewing his memories, but in fact he was talking to Wu Wenyue.

The focus is on the wedding date of the two, as well as Li's words, "Only one wedding, just with you!"

Wu Wenyue's face remained calm when she heard the previous words, but when she heard the last sentence, her movements froze, she looked at Li Peifeng and frowned slightly: "It's not like you can express such deep feelings."

Li Peifeng translated: "Only one event, only with you means, only one event with her."

"Well, this is what you're talking about..."

Wu Wenyue quickly took back the curse words and smiled awkwardly at Li Qiyuan: "Thank you, uncle, I know everything. Then let's leave it at that. I have no objection."

"?!"

"But next time if my dad invites you on a date, don't turn it down."

Wu Wenyue's expression was a little resentful, and her tone was a little accusatory: "Since I brought Xiaofeng home to meet my parents, you two have cut off all contact with them, making me and the others think that Xiaofeng doesn't want to get along with me. They kept asking me to order Xiaofeng to arrange a meeting with the parents... If you are not satisfied with me or have any objections to them, you can tell them directly, there is no need to hide."

Li Peifeng heard Wu Wenyue's grievance, and quickly put down the kitchen knife and hugged him to comfort him: "Brother Yue, don't worry, my dad will meet them right away when he gets back...right? Dad?"

To your ancestors, right? ! You might as well treat them as your own father and meet them!

Li Qiyuan's face suddenly became very good-looking, but under Wu Wenyue's expectant eyes, he couldn't say no.

Thinking about it carefully, I and Hui Zhi did something unfair. They have been friends for many years. When their children fell in love, they should have gotten closer and closer, but instead they broke off the relationship... But it wasn't Li Peifeng, the evil son. Harmful?

"Dad! Just go."

Li Peifeng persuaded her earnestly: "Wenyue has to graduate soon before she can marry me and hold a wedding banquet. It will be a year after she graduates. This is all delayed. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of retribution!"

Li Qiyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, replied stiffly, and forced a smile to Wu Wenyue: "Don't worry, I will invite them to have a meal together when I get back... But the key is Wenyue, what if your parents find out what you are doing? What to do? Aren’t our two families becoming enemies? "

"No, no one will know unless we tell you."

Li Peifeng interrupted: "And even if you find me, I will go and apologize and I will solve it myself. You don't have to worry."

How could Li Qiyuan not worry? But seeing that the two parties involved were determined to insist, he couldn't say anything else.

As a teacher, Li Qiyuan has taught many students. He deeply understands that no words in the world can instantly enlighten people.

As an associate professor whose main research field is Ma Zhe, Li Qiyuan knows that people should prove the truth of their thinking in practice. In other words, people who have not been here will not listen to the words of people who have been there. You can never teach others by teaching them, but you can teach them by things, just once...

Wu Wenyue cannot be persuaded to give up!

"Dad, please stop being busy and go back to the living room to rest."

"Yes, uncle, you finally came here, how can you do your work?"

After the two men's persuasion, Li Qiyuan silently turned around and sat in the living room.

Around 5:30, Xu Manying and Huang Tianxuan also entered the house one after another. Both of them came empty-handed. The former bought some drinks for the dinner, while the latter thought more long-term and bought some bird's nests, shark's fins and other items needed by pregnant women. She bought expensive nutritional supplements and bought some gold locks, bracelets and other accessories or toys for the baby in Yu Huizhi's arms.

"Uncle, remember to bring these things to Auntie when you go back...Hey, take them. They are not bought for you, but for the children!"

"This...Tianxuan, you took the trouble."

Huang Tianxuan was so sincere that she really couldn't refuse. Li Qiyuan repeatedly pushed to no avail, so he could only accept with some embarrassment.

Xu Manying secretly rolled his eyes and became angry. He dragged Huang Tianxuan away and said harshly: "You know how to make your presence felt. Why didn't you discuss it with us before buying it?"

Huang Tianxuan smiled and said: "I thought Mr. Xu could understand this kind of human sophistication without me having to say it. I didn't expect that I overestimated it... Okay, I will definitely remind you next time."

Xu Manying was angrily annoyed that she was a little stupid for not reacting, but she refused to admit it: "I was too busy with work and forgot...Next time something like this happens again, you can just buy a copy for me and Wenyue."

Huang Tianxuan was speechless: "If you can't live anymore, please open the window and jump off the building, and I will help you live!"

Xu Manying was arrogant: "Say it again? Do you still know whose house this is?! Every time you come to my house, you come empty-handed. I didn't pick you. What's wrong with asking you and me to buy something for you?"

Huang Tianxuan was not polite: "Are you unhappy when I send Peifeng Da G and Wenyue Ferrari? So you are labeled as a rich man, right? Just put aside your calculations! If you can't be polite to me, you can call me Sister Xuanxuan from now on. …Then I’ll consider being nice to you.”

"Dream on you."

But Xu Manying refused to give in and muttered: "I'll call you Huang Danai, Huang Danai, Danai Danai..."

"What are you two doing?"

Li Peifeng brought the dishes to the table and glanced at them: "Take a bowl and eat, don't be stunned."

"Uncle, dinner is ready."

Wu Wenyue also came out of the kitchen to greet them. Huang Tianxuan and Xu Manying rolled their eyes at each other and walked to the restaurant.

Everyone sat down and the dinner officially began, and the topic naturally couldn't get around Yu Huizhi, who was not present because she was pregnant.

While talking, Wu Wenyue also made a video call to her, and the five of them connected with Comrade Lao Yu on the spot.

"Aunt!"

"Aunt~"

"Ah, are you eating?"

Yu Huizhi was surprised that all three girls were present and the atmosphere was harmonious. Not only was she a little bit complaining about what Li Qiyuan was doing in the capital this time, was he helping the little bastard open a harem naturally?

But as the girls laughed and talked happily, Yu Huizhi couldn't keep a cold attitude and chatted with them with a smile.

"By the way, auntie, uncle may have to go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, because he will take Peifeng to my house tomorrow to meet my parents..."

Xu Manying suddenly brought this matter up, which made Yu Huizhi's smile suddenly stiffen: "Ah? Really? Husband?! You... still want to see me? Are you addicted?"

Li Qiyuan didn't feel good at all, and he changed the topic abruptly: "Yes, I went to talk to Qingge's parents today, and we had a good conversation. The wedding date is scheduled to be around June or July this year..."

Then, Lao Li began to talk about the details of the conversation at Zhao Qingge's home. Yu Huizhi also occasionally asked, and the couple revealed to several girls that "Li Peifeng identified Zhao Qingge, so we also identified Zhao Qingge as the Daughter-in-law' means.

"Dad, you can tell my mother these things after you get home."

Li Peifeng noticed the changes in the eyes of several girls, and while picking up food for Li Qiyuan, he said: "I have bought all the gifts for Man Ning's house tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it, but you may have to worry about Wenyue, because I Since you can't be there, and you keep pushing back, Uncle Wu may have some objections... I'm thinking about buying some gifts tomorrow, and you can give them to me when the two families meet after you go home."

Li Qiyuan slowly put down his chopsticks, raised his wine glass, and drank the beer in one gulp.

Lao Li feels miserable!

"Uncle, it's quite unlucky for him to have a son like you."

As soon as he finished drinking, Huang Tianxuan next to him helped him fill it up, and said with a smile: "I gave birth to a son, but he became the in-law of four families. How much worry does this have to do for no reason... Uncle and aunt, you can go there if you have time. Traveling to Hangzhou, I will take you to relax and have fun."

Are you taking us to have some fun? Don’t you also want us to meet your parents? !

Even Yu Huizhi in the video heard what Huang Tianxuan meant. She didn't know what to do and could only ask for help: "Husband... you, Wenyue, Tianxuan... and Man Ning... all?"

Li Qiyuan sighed: "I want to be your daughter-in-law, I can't persuade you anymore, so come on."

Wu Wenyue failed. Xu Manying, failure, Huang Tianxuan, failure... Big failure!

Li Qiyuan originally wanted to persuade one to be one, but the attitude of the three of them was that they had no chance at all. At this moment, he was very discouraged.

But Li Peifeng was afraid that Yu Huizhi would be emotional, so he took the mobile phone from Wu Wenyue's hand to comfort his mother, got up and walked to the bedroom, and the mother and son had a private conversation.

After two or three minutes, Li Peifeng returned, returned the phone to Wu Wenyue, and said to Li Qiyuan: 'My mother is a bit unacceptable...Dad, go back and persuade her. '

Li Qiyuan didn't respond, but just drank another glass of beer.

The dinner continued in silence in a weird and subtle atmosphere. Li Peifeng occasionally wanted to toast Li Qiyuan, but the latter didn't respond and drank five bottles by himself.

Seeing that the dinner was halfway through, Li Qiyuan glanced around everyone, and suddenly said: "I don't know why you are willing to tolerate to such a degree, and you have to be with Fengfeng after suffering such a big grievance... So, can you tell me?" Tell me why? Tell me why you love him."

"..."

The scene was silent for two seconds, Li Peifeng frowned: "Dad, how could they say such a thing in front of you...?"

"Yes, I drank too much."

Li Qiyuan waved his hand and stopped asking, and said again: "But no matter what, I hope you don't fall in love with him because of superficial factors such as his age, appearance, body, talent and money."

"Love is a difficult problem. No one will really love another person because of these... You are all very good, and I believe that you are not unwilling to let him go because of the reasons I just mentioned. But why is that? Because Will you feel happy, happy emotions with him?"

"It's enough, but it's not enough."

Li Qiyuan didn't say a single word, and when he opened his mouth, he was a little earnest and long-winded: "These emotions are only temporary. He can satisfy you for a day, a month, a year, but not necessarily for a lifetime... and people's needs are satisfied after they are met." , the appetite will get bigger and bigger, so there will be a day when the other party can't satisfy."

Huang Tianxuan nodded slightly: "Uncle, what do you think true love should come from? I think you and auntie are usually very affectionate... Do you have any experience?"

Li Qiyuan was silent for two seconds, took another sip of beer before slowly saying: "On the basis of being both mature individuals, we have found confidence, a sense of security, a sense of belonging, self-recognition, being respected and accepted in getting along with each other... …This is the truest and most perfect love. To find it is to find oneself.”

Speaking of this, Li Qiyuan paused, and sighed softly: "If you think you feel this from him, then I have no problem with your feelings. If not, I advise you to think carefully!"

Xu Manying glanced at Li Peifeng, and discussed with Wu Wenyue thoughtfully in a low voice: "A certain book we read seems to say something similar."

Wu Wenyue reminded: "A qualified partner should have three identities; mirror, teacher, and playmate."

"Yeah?"

Huang Tianxuan, who has never read the book, seems to understand, but Li Peifeng explained to her in detail: "The mirror is for you to see your own weaknesses and cause your discomfort; teacher, I am for you to explore the truth. When I’m on my own, it motivates and inspires you; the meaning of a playmate is that I can be happy, sad, and painful with you, and go through the journey of life with you... If you and your partner can do each other Up to these three points, you are the best and most suitable.”

After finishing speaking, Li Peifeng looked at Li Qiyuan and smiled: "Your explanation of the theory is not clear. Is what I said more complete? Besides, I have asked Wenyue and Manning to read related books, and asked them to write After watching it... By the way, didn't you give me the 50,000-word PPT?"

Both Xu Manying and Wu Wenyue looked at Li with dangerous eyes. Yao remembered that the two girls had a physical conflict because of this incident. Because Xu Manying secretly wrote the PPT, Wu Wenyue snatched it. The other party's computer deleted the content, and the angry Miss Xu scratched General Wu's body with paw prints...

Can't mention it!

Li Peifeng also wisely let it go, looked at Huang Tianxuan, and criticized: "You still need to study, I will buy another book for you another day, so as not to be unable to answer this kind of question again."

Did this bitch really become my teacher? !

Huang Tianxuan's eyes were playful, she snorted slightly and ignored it, and instead looked at Li Qiyuan: "Uncle, what did you just say? Did you have any objections to me and Pei Feng?"

Li Qiyuan looked suspicious, his face was cloudy and he didn't know what to say.

Li Peifeng put the wine glass in his hand, and said first: "Of course, come on, you also hold up the glass, whether it's a drink or a wine, toast my dad...a toast to my dad!!"
