Chapter 21
"Then it seems that you really have to write it upside down!"
As soon as he heard this sound, Li Xuemeng, who had just jumped more than three feet tall, suddenly softened. He turned around in a stunned manner, quickly changed into a smiling face, and whispered to a 50-year-old man standing at the gate of Li's Villa, "Dad!"
When Li Qiang saw the appearance of the old man, he quickly stepped forward and saluted his father:
"Child Li Qiang has met his father. How have you been?"
The old man looked angry and brushed his sleeves:
"Good? It's not good at all. I'm going to be killed by you two!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the villa and said as he walked:
"You two will come to my study immediately. I have something to ask you, Uncle Chun, you can also come here."
"Yes, sir."
Li Wangchun answered and followed the old man step by step. Li Qiang and Li Xuemeng looked at each other. Li Qiang saw the helplessness in his brother's eyes and laughed in his heart, so he followed him.
"Dad, I don't know why you came back early this time without notifying the child?"
Li Qiang looked at the old man in front of him with awe and asked.
Li Qiang's father, Li Gang, is the real nominal owner of the Li family villa. Although he has worked hard to cultivate his two sons over the years, the villa has rarely been asked, but when he encounters key problems, it is this old man named Li Gang who can really make up his mind.
Li Gang has two sons. The two brothers have completely different personalities. The eldest son Li Qiang is calm and cultivated. He is quite a father-like. He began to follow Li Gang to manage family affairs in his teens. In recent years, under Li Gang's efforts to cultivate, he has gradually become more sharp. In his actions, he has gradually had the demeanor of Li Gang when he was young, which is enough to make Li A person who is just relieved.
Compared with the calmness of the eldest son, the character of the second son Li Xuemeng is different from that of his brother. Although he is not a dunk, he is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. Li Xuemeng is brave by nature, and he doesn't want to take a look at family affairs. However, every time Li Gang goes out, he has to follow Li Gang to "see and see" and travel.
And Li Gang is not worried about throwing this little guy out alone. Li Qiang wants to take care of the villa. If he is left alone, he may cause some trouble. Simply take him with him, so that the father and son stayed together longer than with Li Qiang.
This time, Li Gang took Li Xuemeng to visit an old friend, but unexpectedly encountered a big event, so he hurried back. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came back, I heard Li Wangchun, the old heavy housekeeper of the family, say that Li Qiang had a conflict with the young master of Chen Jiabao and almost lost his life. Before he was angry, Li Xuemeng, who had a good relationship with Li Qiang since he was a child, shouted that he wanted to speak up for his eldest brother, and even left secretly without Li Gang. If he hadn't received the report from his subordinates, he would add Li Qiang happened to delay the time. I'm afraid he has already made trouble at this time.
"I'll talk about the father's matter later. Qiang'er, you talk about it first, but why did you have a dispute with Chen Lei again? I heard Uncle Chun said that you two didn't even hesitate to fight with each other. You have always been calm and calm. In addition, Chen Lei's s sworn brother, Wang Qinian, the young master of Wangjia Villa, and you are even more life-and-death friends. How can you not Do you care?"
Li Qiang secretly complained that Li Wangchun should not tell Li Gang these things. Even if he said it, he should not say it in such detail, but he replied:
"Dad, this is also a helpless move..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xuemeng, who was sitting next to him, slapped the table and jumped up from the chair. The tea bowl on the table immediately bounced up and fell to the ground with a bang.
"What else to say! It must be that the fat man took advantage of Brother Wang's prestige. The fox faked the tiger's power and forced Liang to be a prostitute. After being hit by the eldest brother, he was obsessed with it. The eldest brother's bitter words and persuasion were fruitless. For him, Jinke's Yulu is loyal to him. It is that people do not hurt the tiger's heart, and the tiger is harmful to people's wishes, so he began to kill people and get more goods! Brother, am I right?
Li Qiang couldn't laugh or cry after listening to Li Xuemeng's high talk, nodded bitterly, "The second brother's words are not true..." After rationalizing his thoughts, Li Qiang simply said what happened that day, "... This is generally the case."
Li Gang turned a blind eye to Li Xuemeng's furious behavior. After listening to Li Qiang's words, he nodded and turned his head to Li Xuemeng and said:
"Meng'er, it seems that you have read a lot of books recently, and your words are becoming more and more Confucius and Mencius."
Li Qiang and Li Wangchun, who were cleaning up the tea bowl broken by Li Xuemeng, were secretly happy when they heard Li Gang's words. Li Xuemeng didn't read much, but they preferred to pretend to be the rich five cars, full of experience, and had to show it as soon as they had the opportunity. I'm afraid it's false that he was angry just now, and the real purpose is to make a high opinion. Li Gang also knew this, so he turned a blind eye to his disregard, otherwise he would not be so presumptuous in front of himself.
Sure enough, listen to Li Xuemeng proudly:
"The book has its own face like jade, the book has its own golden house, and the child is only six buckets high, and the poem is just eight steps."
Li Qiang was surprised and said, "It's only six buckets, read eight steps? From the perspective of the second brother's book, why have I never heard of it? I'm afraid the second brother misremembered the number?
Li Gang also looked at Li Xuemeng with interest and wanted to hear what he said.
"Dad, big brother, you think, Cao Zijian is talented and seven steps into seven steps. I'm sure I'm not as good as him. In addition, my father has taught my child to benefit modestly and full of losses, so I'm less than Cao Zijian. What's wrong with taking one more step? Hahaha..."
The other three people in the room suddenly looked at each other and couldn't speak.
For a long time, Li just said helplessly, "Qiang'er, this time I went to the west for my father and Meng'er. I was going to find a good friend and thought that we had not seen each other for decades. This time, I planned to hang out in his house for a few months and talk to my old friends, but I didn't want to encounter a difficult thing, which made my father had to mention it. Come back."
Li Qiang's heart moved, and what could make Li Gang feel that was difficult must not be a trivial matter. He asked in a low voice:
"What's the matter?"
Li Gang sighed and shook his head and said, "This matter is related to the reputation of my Li's Villa. It's really a small thing. In a few days, I'm afraid that rumors will come here, so I came in advance to arrange it."
Li Qiang felt amazed and knew that this matter was very serious when he heard Li Gang's tone, but he did not expect that it would be related to the reputation of Lijia Villa. Nowadays, for a large family like them, the reputation problem is undoubtedly a face problem. Among other things, the blow to Lijia Villa's business across the country without the golden signboard of Lijia Villa can be imagined.
