However, Li Zhiming said, “It doesn’t matter to you, the younger generation. But we will be parents. We must be fair. Otherwise, no matter how good the brotherhood is, there will be problems.”
They didn’t care now, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t care in the future.
“The reason why I’m saying this today is to say that Xiao Yong needs money in many ways now, so we should use it on him first. But 1 have the account book in my hands, and I’m clear in my heart. I’ll make up for the extra money he spent when his situation stabilized!”
As Li Zhiming spoke, his hand kept rubbing his pipe.
With the child around, he didn’t dare to smoke, so he could only touch to his heart’s content.
“Father, L…” Li Yong was about to speak.
However, Li Zhiming said, “That’s enough. I’ve said what 1 needed to say. You guys can go back to what you were doing!”
Li Zhiming got up and didn’t give Li Yong and Li Lei any time to react. He directly said to Liu Guihua, “Let’s go. We’ll work in the greenhouse. When we’re done, we’ll have them send the food over!”
Liu Guihua took her coat and quickly followed Li Zhiming.
After the old couple left, Li Yong felt a little embarrassed. He quickly went to the kitchen and said, “Then I’ll work a bit more.”
“I’ll help you!” Li Lei also came to the kitchen.
Only Meng Xiaoning and Li Xiang were left in the room.
Meng Xiaoning finally had a smile on her face.
She lowered her head, looked at Li Xiang, and teased her. “Smile, smile for Mommy!”
Li Xiang opened his eyes wide and looked at Meng Xiaoning curiously. Soon, she smiled, revealing her toothless face.
The preparations for the wedding went on very quickly. In less than half a month, everything was ready.
Although time was tight, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua still chose a good day.
It was the eighth day of the winter month on the lunar calendar, and the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth month on the Gregorian calendar.
Whether it was the lunar calendar or the solar calendar, they were both even numbers.
Qin Xiaomin was getting married and will set off from the house, and the wedding room was their new house. The wedding banquet was also held in Fuhua Hotel.
Li Miao came return for Li Yong’s wedding.
However, she didn’t take leave this time. The day of the wedding happened to be a Saturday. She had bought a train ticket for Friday night, and Gong Wenbai was the one who picked her up when she arrived at the station.
After getting into the car, Li Miao took off her gloves, rubbed his fingers, and said with embarrassment, “”Big Brother Gong, I’m sorry to trouble you. It’s so late and you still came to pick me up!”
“You’re welcome!” Gong Wenbai shook his head.
After a short pause, he asked again,”By the way, have you eaten? Do you want to eat outside?”
Li Miao didn’t come back just to attend her brother’s wedding as his sister.
She also had an important role-she was one of Qin Xiaomin’s bridesmaids.
Qin Xiaomin was getting married with a four to five-month pregnant belly. The wedding scene was a mess, and everyone was afraid that she would accidentally fall or something.
Furthermore, at the wedding venue, there would be jewelry and red packets. The bridesmaid had to be someone she trusted.
None of Qin Xiaomin’s relatives were of the right age. Most of her trusted friends were married, but she didn’t have a good relationship with her colleagues.
After much thought, she decided to ask Li Miao to be her bridesmaid.
Li Miao had to wake up early the next morning, so she didn’t go home tonight. She went to Qin Xiaomin’s house directly.
Gong Wenbai was afraid that Li Miao hadn’t eaten and would be too embarrassed to say it at Qin Xiaomin’s house, so she would go hungry.
Li Miao also understood Gong Wenbai’s thoughtfulness. She touched her stomach and said awkwardly, “I haven’t!”
She had a class in the second period in the afternoon, so she ran all the way to the train station after class, afraid to miss the train.
If she missed it, it would be a huge delay.
On the way, she was so anxious that she didn’t have time to eat.
Gong Wenbai nodded and started the car as he said, “Alright, I’ll take you to dinner first.”
Very quickly, Gong Wenbai drove Li Miao to a restaurant that was not bad.
Li Miao looked at the door and said in a low voice, “Big Brother Gong, I’m not very hungry. I can eat anything. Noodles, dumplings, or buns. Anything is fine!
Her expression was a little awkward.
This restaurant looked pretty good, and the price should not be cheap.
Although their family wasn’t as poor as before, Li Miao’s habits were hard to change.
She still maintained her good habit of being frugal. She didn’t become extravagant just because she went to a big city.
“The other restaurants might not be open at this time. Let’s go with this one. Eat well so you’ll have the energy for tomorrow!
Qin Xiaomin was pregnant, so Li Miao had a lot of things to worry about tomorrow. She would be very busy.
Li Miao hesitated for a moment. On the other side, Gong Wenbai had already turned off the engine and got out of the car.
She sighed in her heart and reached into her pocket.
The remaining money should still be enough, just a little less.
She took a deep breath and got out of the car.
It was already past ten o’clock, and there were not many people in the shop.
Li Miao and Gong Wenbai entered the restaurant and sat down in a corner.
The boss came over quickly and handed the menu to Li Miao.
Li Miao courteously pushed the menu to Gong Wen Bai, “Big Brother Gong, you can order it!”
Gong Wenbai had helped their family so much, so it was really nothing to treat him to a meal.
This way, Li Miao’s heart didn’t ache anymore.
Gong Wenbai looked at the menu and said in a low voice, “I’ll have a stir-fried bean sprout, a braised eggplant, a braised pork slice with winter melon, and a bowl of rice. Thank you!”
Li Miao raised his head in surprise and glanced at Gong Wenbai.
What was going on? Why did he order all her favorite dishes? Could it be that her taste was so similar to Big Brother Gong’s?
After Gong Wenbai finished speaking, he returned the menu to the boss.
“Just a bowl of rice?” the boss asked in surprise.
“Yes, 1 don’t eat!” Gong Wenbai nodded.
The boss nodded, wrote a few words on the paper, and left.
“Big Brother Gong, are you really not going to eat?” Li Miao was a little hesitant.
Gong Wenbai nodded. “1 basically don’t eat anything after six o’clock. I gain weight easily.”
Li Miao was speechless. Did Gong Wenbai still need to control his weight?
He already looked very thin.
Li Miao was indeed hungry. She ate more than half of a bowl of rice and the three dishes.
Seeing that Li Miao was almost done eating, Gong Wenbai said in a low voice, “You eat first, I’ll go to the bathroom!”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you!” Li Miao did not suspect anything.
Gong Wenbai stood up and walked towards the cashier.
He stood behind the cashier, said a few words, and then began to take out his wallet.
Li Miao raised his head and saw his action.
She was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
Gong Wenbai didn’t want to go to the bathroom. He was clearly fighting to pay the bill.
Li Miao hurried forward, “Big Brother Gong, let me pay…”
It was already too late. Gong Wenbai had already paid.
Li Miao didn’t want to argue with him in front of the boss.
She kept quiet and thought about giving him the money later. If he didn’t accept it, she would throw it in his car..
