On Liu Chunzhi's birthday, Li Wei specially asked for leave and went back to Huiliang. Although it was an ordinary birthday, Li Wei prepared generous gifts and went to the cake room to order a large cake.
Li Wei took out the contents of the bag and showed it to Liu Chunzhi. She bought a new mint green suit, a pair of branded leather shoes, and a satchel.
"I bought a bunch of things again. You have to pay back the loan every month, so save some money."
Li Xiaoxiao said: "It doesn't matter. I published a book and earned some royalties, and the mortgage is much easier. You only celebrate your birthday once a year and it's appropriate to honor you. Besides, your status is different now, An old lady in such a big hotel should pay attention to her appearance, which is completely different from that of an old lady farming."
Li Wei insisted that Liu Chunzhi try on the clothes, but Liu Chunzhi refused but had to put them on and try them on. Li Wei helped her, the size was just right, and she was what she was accustomed to buying.
"This set of clothes is really suitable. You look a few years younger. Why don't we do your hair in the afternoon? It will look even more fashionable."
Liu Chunzhi has been a simple person all her life. She waved her hands and said, "I can cut my hair myself. If you don't want to do it, I won't do it."
Li smiled and said: "If you don't like dyeing, you should simply perm it to look more energetic. Last time Aunt Qi came to our house, weren't you envious of her ability to dress and look young? You can do the same." "
Liu Chunzhi said hurriedly: "No, no. That makes me feel good. Ah Zhen is a big boss. If you want to go out to discuss business with others, you must pay attention to your image. If I dress up like her, I will really become an old goblin." It’s enough to wash your face, comb your hair neatly, and keep your clothes clean. Don’t force me to do anything else. I’ll be comfortable like this for a lifetime, so why bother with those useless things.”
Hearing what his mother said, Li Wei couldn't persuade her anymore. My mother is old and has been simple all her life. If she likes it, let her do it.
Li Wei knelt down to help his mother tie her shoelaces. Liu Chunzhi looked at her daughter blankly. She had raised three children. Li Wei was the only daughter, but it was true that her daughter was caring and thought of her no matter what. Filial piety. She thought about her daughter's lifelong events. Although she didn't like Zhao Qian very much, her daughter liked him.
"Weiwei, where is Zhao Qian?"
It was rare for his mother to take the initiative to ask, so Li Wei raised his head and said, "Mom, he went back to the capital to work."
"At work? He disappeared for such a long time for no reason. Is there anyone still willing to film with him?"
Li Wei smiled gently and said: "Mom, Zhao Qian not only has a face, but also has strength. Naturally, there will be producers willing to hire him to film. He also said that you don't like his acting and is ready to retire. I advise After all, we are in our prime now, so it would be a pity to give up like this."
Liu Chunzhi knew that her daughter was trying her best to say good things to Zhao Qian in front of her, so she said, "I don't like acting. Which female star is she in love with in the new movie?"
Li Wei said with some embarrassment: "I don't know this."
"I always feel that people like them rarely have two Gu family members, and there are too many divorces. Women can't afford to gamble in this life. Mom is worried about you."
"I know mom, I will also protect myself."
"There is another thing about his life experience that I always feel uneasy about. It is said that an overseas Chinese who returned from overseas is an orphan. I am afraid that one day his parents will take him back. What will you do if you end up with a bad in-law? "
Li smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry, this will never happen. Everyone in his family has died a long time ago." Li Wei said in his heart that they all died hundreds of years ago, so there is nothing to worry about. husband's family.
Liu Chunzhi looked at her daughter with doubts on her face. Li Wei thought the atmosphere was pretty good, so he followed suit and said, "Mom, we are already planning to get married."
"So soon?!" After hearing this sentence suddenly, Liu Chunzhi still couldn't accept it. She always felt that her daughter had just met this person and was in a hurry to marry him.
"It's so fast. Don't you always say that I have become an old girl before I got married at my age? Now that I have finally met someone who is willing to get married, shouldn't you be happy first of all?"
"It depends on who it is." Liu Chunzhi felt that her daughter's move was too rash. In her opinion, marriage is a lifelong event, but she cannot make a hasty decision like this. She went on to say, "I still have to look at it again." Look at him. As the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Things that affect your life must be done slowly. "
This matter cannot be rushed. Now the mother's attitude has changed a lot. Only by letting the mother slowly accept Zhao Qian can there be hope.
Li Jianping went to the city for a meeting and didn't come back until it was almost dark. Yinyin also came back from school, and Li Wei brought a big cake. Yinyin was past the age of being greedy for cakes. As soon as she got home, she was busy catching up on her homework, and Yang Man was there to help.
Jianping ordered the kitchen to cook a delicious meal, and it was already seven o'clock before he could even bother to eat. There were five people in total, and the food was only served on an ordinary dining table.
Everyone raised a toast to wish Liu Chunzhi good health and longevity. Liu Chunzhi accepted everyone's blessings with a smile on her face. After drinking, the phone rang. Jianping said: "It must be Jianbo calling. Mom, go pick it up."
Liu Chunzhi walked to the phone and picked up the receiver: "Is it Jianbo?"
"Auntie, it's me, Zhao Qian. I heard that today is your birthday. I am here to wish you good health, happiness and longevity."
Liu Chunzhi glanced at her daughter sitting over there, and she must have told him Wei Wei, and she agreed without hesitation: "Thank you for taking the trouble."
"Don't worry, this is what a junior should do. Auntie, please take good care of yourself. I will visit you again next time."
Liu Chunzhi held the receiver and could hear what Zhao Qian said, but she rarely answered. Once Zhao Qian paused, the atmosphere became awkward. The call ended after two minutes. Liu Chunzhi still returned to her seat after hanging up the phone.
Jian Ping asked hurriedly: "Is it Jian Bo?"
Liu Chunzhi hummed and glanced meaningfully at her daughter before inviting everyone to eat.
After dinner, the big cake was taken out and candles were put in. Everyone sang "Happy Birthday to You" together. Liu Chunzhi blew out the candles, and Li Wei helped divide the cake.
There were a lot of fruits piled on the cake, and the color looked attractive, but no one seemed too interested. Everyone only tasted a few bites and left.
Liu Chunzhi always said it was too wasteful, but Li Wei said: "Life should have a sense of ritual and not be wasted."
At this time, the phone rang again. Li Wei went over to answer the phone. The other end of the phone said: "Is mom here?"
"Second brother, it's me."
"Weiwei, how are you?"
"Very good, you call mom, wait a minute." Li Wei handed the receiver to his mother, and at the same time he was a little confused, who made the call just now
