After the small episode passed, fortunately, there was no disturbance. Sister Jin continued to work hard, and Li Wei did not pay her a penny less. It’s just that Sister Jin has become much silent. Li Wei felt that Ergenzi was finally at peace.
The weekend soon came. Liu Chunzhi and Sister Jin went to the supermarket to buy a lot of vegetables. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they were busy in the kitchen. Li Wei returned to the bedroom and was taking a nap, but was woken up by the ringing of the phone later.
"Awei, I will probably be able to come back early next month."
"Good thing, where are you now?"
"Paris, attending a business performance."
"Are you accepting endorsements from major international brands?"
"Maybe there will be. After the activities here are over, I should be able to take a short break for a few days. I want to come back and stay with you. Is our baby okay?"
"Well, I went for a prenatal check-up not long ago, and I was told that my baby is developing quite well. You are doing well outside."
The couple hung up the phone after not talking for a while, and Li Wei no longer felt sleepy.
Starting at five o'clock, Liu Chunzhi asked Li Wei to call Li Jianbo and the others one after another. Li Wei did not dare to press too hard and made two calls. It was half past six when the two of them actually arrived home.
Tang Shiyun followed Li Jianbo into the house. Li Wei greeted them happily, then took Tang Shiyun's hand and walked to the living room.
Liu Chunzhi came out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron and sleeves, with a smile on her face like a flower, and she was particularly happy for Tang Shiyun's arrival.
Li Wei glanced at her second brother and said, "Second brother, you don't want to introduce me either."
Li Jianbo then introduced her to Tang Shiyun: "Miss Tang, this is my mother."
Tang Shiyun immediately greeted Liu Chunzhi politely: "Hello, Auntie."
Liu Chunzhi was so excited that she didn't know where to put her hands, but she grinned widely and hurriedly asked Tang Shiyun to sit down. Then she poured tea and water, and asked Li Wei to get the fruit. She was very attentive.
Li Wei whispered to Tang Shiyun: "My mother has heard about you a long time ago and has always wanted to see you. She knew you were coming today and was so excited that she fell asleep half the night last night."
Tang Shiyun seemed a little shy. Just as she was about to say something, Li Jianbo suddenly said to her: "My mother is the best at cooking. You can try her cooking in a while."
Tang Shiyun said quickly: "What an honor."
Tang Shiyun wore a black trench coat today. Her short hair almost reached her neck. Her skin was already very fair and she only wore nude makeup.
Different from a while ago, Tang Shiyun's condition looked clear-eyed and energetic. She was in good condition.
Li Wei sat with the two of them for a while, and then went to work on his own, leaving space for the young couple in love. When the food was served, Li Jianbo saw the entire table full of dishes. He frowned and said, "It's not the right time to make so many dishes, so you're not afraid of wasting it?"
Liu Chunzhi smiled and said: "There are many people, so I made a few more. If you can't finish them, you can take them away."
Sister Jin automatically did not serve the food. She filled her stomach in the kitchen, then returned to the nanny's room and never came out again.
Liu Chunzhi saw that Tang Shiyun didn't use her chopsticks very much, so she helped to pick up the vegetables diligently: "Here, this is the brother and sister's favorite dish of braised beef with potatoes. You should also eat some. I have stewed this beef for almost two hours. It's already cooked." It’s very delicious.”
Faced with Liu Chunzhi's enthusiasm, Tang Shiyun obviously couldn't handle it, and the bowl in front of him was piled as high as a hill. Fortunately, Li Jianbo came to Tang Shiyun's rescue at this time: "Mom, let her eat whatever she likes. Just don't pick it up. Nowadays, young people don't like to pick up food."
Liu Chunzhi smiled awkwardly: "I think this girl is a little embarrassed and reluctant to use chopsticks. I'm afraid she's too polite."
Tang Shiyun ate a few mouthfuls of food quickly, and after swallowing it, she smiled and said, "The food cooked by Auntie is delicious, thank you."
"As long as you like it, come over to play at home often and I'll cook it for you."
"Mom, you should eat too. You have worked hard all afternoon and you should be hungry." Li Wei pushed a plate of braised prawns in front of his mother to his mother.
This meal was indeed extremely restrictive for Tang Shiyun. He had entertained hundreds of large and small dinner parties in the workplace, but this was the first time he was so nervous and reserved like today.
After finally finishing the meal, Tang Shiyun felt relieved. After the meal, Li Jianbo originally wanted to leave immediately, but Liu Chunzhi arrested him and asked him alone. Only Li Wei came to greet Tang Shiyun.
Liu Chunzhi pulled a stool for her son to sit on.
"I don't want to say any more, otherwise you will think I'm annoying with my nonsense. I'll just ask you directly, will you get married?"
It has been less than a month since Li Jianbo and Tang Shiyun established their relationship. In this less than a month, they have met less than three times and made less than ten phone calls in total. This means they are talking about marriage. ? Based on Li Jianbo's temper, he would have refused immediately, but this time Li Jianbo was silent for a moment, then looked at his mother, and he gave a definite answer: "It should be possible."
Liu Chunzhi was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she was doing and couldn't help but said with joy, "Have you really figured it out and are willing to get married?"
"There's nothing wrong with doing the right thing at the right age, right?"
Liu Chunzhi smiled and said: "This is a good thing. I have been worrying about you for so many years, and now you have finally figured it out. This is good. I think this girl from the Tang family is okay. She has a serious job and outstanding talents. She is worthy of You are also suitable, but your marriage..." Liu Chunzhi suddenly understood. Qi Jingzhen didn't know yet. Jianbo couldn't hide his marriage from his mother.
"Mom, I will marry Miss Tang, but not now. The road has to be walked step by step, so don't rush it."
"Why are you not in a hurry? You are all older young people. It is best to get married within this year. It will not work if you delay it any longer. Jianbo, please discuss it with Miss Tang. When will I go to meet her parents to formally discuss it with you? It’s best to settle your marriage as soon as possible.”
Liu Chunzhi's eagerness was palpable, causing Jian Bo to say: "Mom, why are you so anxious? Let's wait until we get there."
"Okay, you guys get along well first, and the rest will come step by step." Liu Chunzhi rubbed her hands, afraid that she would make her son anxious by pushing too hard, and that his son would not listen to her and would do the opposite.
"Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll go back."
Liu Chunzhi did not try to persuade him to stay, but said to him: "Okay, you two can come together next week. You tell your sister what the Tang family girl likes to eat, and I will do it later."
"You've worked too hard. I won't come next week. Maybe later."
Li Jianbo returned to the living room. He looked at Tang Shiyun and said, "Miss Tang, it's time for us to leave."
"Okay, Doctor Li." Tang Shiyun picked up the bag on the sofa and formally said goodbye to Liu Chunzhi, and then said goodbye to Li Wei. At this time, Liu Chunzhi took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Tang Shiyun's hand.
"Come and play often."
Liu Chunzhi's move made Tang Shiyun a little confused. She glanced at Li Jianbo in front of her, and Li Jianbo said: "You accept what mom gave you."
Li Wei saw this scene from behind and wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it back.
