Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

"Chun Yan'er, I never thought that Duoduo and Wenbin would end up together. You said that these two kids have known each other since they were young, so how come they suddenly fell in love with each other?"

Han Chunyan smiled happily and clapped Wen Li's hand several times.

"Before, their destiny had not arrived. Now it has arrived, hasn't it? Now that destiny has arrived, won't everything be a natural progression?"

Wen Li also agreed with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it will come naturally."

Li Wenbin was chatting with Tong Zhi and Tong Dabao.

"Uncle Tong, smoke."

Li Wenbin was obviously a little nervous. As Tong Dabao's good brother, he used to be very relaxed in front of Tong Zhi. But now, as a pig who had taken someone else's cabbage, he finally understood how Lu Yuan felt in front of Li Jianjun. He always felt that there was something wrong with the way Tong Zhi looked at him.

Tong Dabao was trying to hold back his laughter, and this scene was seen by Tong Zhi and Wen Li.

Wen Li asked with a smile.

"Dabao, Wenbin is about your age and is getting married at the end of this year. When are you going to get married?"

Tong Dabao frowned.

"Mom, you were having a nice chat with Aunt Han, why did you bring me up?"

Han Chunyan said with a smile.

"Dabao, your mother just wants to have a grandson sooner. You have to understand the elderly. I am the same."

Tong Dabao is quite well-behaved in front of Han Chunyan.

"I know, Aunt Han. Didn't you just say that? Wenbin and my sister are destined to be together, but mine hasn't arrived yet. When I get there, I will definitely bring him back to show my parents."

Although it was a bit perfunctory, there was nothing wrong with it, and Wen Li nodded.

Just now, when Han Chunyan mentioned holding her grandson, there was a gleam in her comrade's eyes, but when Tong Dabao said that the fate had not yet arrived, the gleam dimmed.

Tong Duoduo noticed it and walked behind Tong Dabao and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hurry up and find one so that our family can be happy. You are the only male in our Tong family. This is an important task and cannot be taken lightly."

Tong Dabao was about to say something to Tong Duoduo, but when he looked at Li Wenbin next to him, he swallowed his words back.

"I know, sister. I will. Just live a good life with Wenbin. By the way, Wenbin, you have to take good care of my sister. She has been fierce since she was a child. She is the first to rush forward in a fight, and bites people if she can't win."

Duoduo looked stern after hearing this.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's because you were bullied when you were a kid. The three of us sisters are all girls and we couldn't beat him up. It's all thanks to Brother Gouzi's help, otherwise we would have all been beaten up."

After saying that, Tong Duoduo glanced at Han Chunyan. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Han Chunyan, he felt more at ease. This was some gossip about her childhood. Which mother-in-law would like to hear about her daughter-in-law's childhood gossip?

Wen Li also hit Tong Dabao.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't your sister trying to help you?"

Han Chunyan smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay. Children are bound to fight. Doudou also had a lot of fights when he was little. I always wanted to apologize to them, but Jianjun couldn't. He couldn't stand seeing Doudou being bullied. He almost got into a fight with the parents once."

Tong Duoduo was a little envious, but Tong Zhi felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had given his children a free-range childhood, and it had always been Wen Li who took care of them. Moreover, Wen Li obviously favored boys over girls, so the daughters had a relatively low presence in the family, except for the eldest daughter Tong Yanni.

Li Wenbin took out a few pieces of candy and handed them to Qiqi who was playing with Gaigai.

"Qiqi, Gaigai is coming to play at home, shouldn't you treat her to some candy?"

Qiqi nodded obediently, took it, took out one and handed it to Gaigai.

"Sister, eat candy."

Li Wenbin said quickly.

"Qiqi, you can't call Gaigai sister, it will mess up the hierarchy in our family."

Qiqi asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"But Gaigai is older than me, shouldn't I call her sister? So what should I call her if not sister?"

Han Chunyan said with a smile.

"You should call..."

Han Chunyan didn't know how to explain it halfway through. After all, Qiqi was still young and she might not understand even if she explained it.

"Why don't you ask your father?"

Qiqi nodded, and then her two short legs ran like Hot Wheels to find Li Jianjun.

Han Chunyan shouted quickly.

"Qiqi, run slower. This kid is following Jianjun in a hurry day by day."

Wen Li said with a smile.

"Qiqi is so cute, I like her just by looking at her."

The atmosphere on the other side was not so good. Although everyone was smiling, the mood of marrying off a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law was different.

Lu Yuan was still a little nervous. He had been nervous for several months and was nervous every time he saw Li Jianjun.

At this time, Qiqi ran over.

"Dad, Mom said I can't call Gaigai sister, what should I call her?"

When Li Jianjun saw Qiqi coming, he hugged her in his arms.

"Gai Gai's mother and your brother are of the same generation, and you and your brother are of the same generation, so you are one generation older than Gai Gai. But you are both children, so just call her by her name."

Kiki nodded.

"Then Dad, can you come and play with me?"

Li Jianjun nodded. He had actually wanted to leave a long time ago. How should I put it? Lu Yuan's family gave him the feeling that they were more or less trying to curry favor with him, especially Lu Yuan's eldest brother. He vaguely hinted that he hoped Li Jianjun could introduce him to some connections within the system.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan's parents were sensible and immediately interrupted Lu Yuan's eldest brother, so the atmosphere here was a little awkward.

Lu Yuan felt even more embarrassed standing next to them, but he couldn't get angry in front of the Li family.

When Li Jianjun arrived at Tong's house, the atmosphere was obviously different and much more cheerful.

"Chunyan, go over there and spend time with Lu Yuan's family."

Han Chunyan noticed that Li Jianjun looked unhappy, so she didn't ask any more questions and patted Wen Li's hand.

"I'll go over there and have a look."

Wen Li smiled and nodded.

"Go ahead, we are all familiar with each other, you don't need to accompany us."

Han Chunyan left, and Li Wenbin asked curiously.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Li Jianjun smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay, just a small problem. Brother Tong, how are you? I heard from Wenbin that you are still busy?"

Tong Zhi smiled embarrassedly.

"I've been working all my life, and suddenly I'm taking a break. I'm not used to it. Isn't this a good way to find a job for myself?"

Li Jianjun smiled.

"It's okay, it's normal. Many people are like you after retirement. It's called retirement syndrome. Just find something to do and you'll be fine."

This was the first time Tong Zhi heard of it.

"Is there such a thing? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Li Jianjun nodded.

"These are all minor issues. In the final analysis, I just can't rest and I'm a bit unwilling to accept my old age."

Wen Li nodded after hearing this.

"Isn't it because you don't want to admit your age? Every day you think you are still the chief engineer."

Tong Zhi wanted to refute, but Wen Li was telling the truth, but he turned around and said embarrassedly.

"Jianjun, I have a good friend who I have known for decades. We have always been colleagues and have lived together for decades. He has the same problem as me. I just want to ask, can he also come to work with me?"

Li Wenbin asked.

"Uncle Tong, is this Uncle Zhuang?"

Tong Zhi nodded.

"It's Dazhuang."

Li Wenbin patted his chest and assured.

"It's okay. Just bring Uncle Zhuang with you when the time comes. I know you have been together for most of your life and you do everything together."

Tong Zhi nodded happily.

"Okay, thank you Wenbin."

Wen Li didn't say anything, after all, she knew the relationship between Dazhuang and Tong Zhi.
