Chapter 380: Promotion to a higher position
"As a citizen of Tianwu, I must serve the country wholeheartedly. I am just fulfilling my responsibility as a subject."
"I will report Mr. Gu's patriotism to the emperor some other day."
"Mr. Si is not bad either. I believe the Emperor will definitely give him a promotion to a general."
The two of them were talking back and forth. Li Xiaoxiao looked at one and then at the other, not understanding what they were up to.
Didn’t Si Chengxu say he was hungry just now? How come he was no longer hungry when he saw Gu Feiyan? The two of them were so engrossed in chatting that they didn’t notice that the food on the table was getting cold.
"You two, how about we eat first? We can talk after dinner if we have anything to say." Li Xiaoxiao sat between them and waved her hand to indicate that they could stop.
Sure enough, neither of them was talking, but they always felt something was weird.
"Yes, let's eat. Chengxu, eat more. You look so thin." Sun picked up a piece of meat and put it in Si Chengxu's bowl. She hadn't seen him for several days.
"Thank you, aunt." Si Chengxu said, glancing at Gu Feiyan with a smug look.
"Why be so polite in your own home?" Sun smiled.
Then he picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to Gu Feiyan, with a gentle smile on his face: "Fei Yan, eat more too. Just treat it as if you are at home. Don't be polite."
"Thank you." Gu Feiyan gave Si Chengxu a look in response, as if to say, look, what you have, I also have.
"Dad, Brother Gu praised me again today, saying that I have made rapid progress in my studies and have made up for all the lessons I missed before." Li Huawen likes Gu Feiyan and is sitting next to him now.
"Then you can't be proud. There are many people who are smarter than you. You know, you should be humble and calm." Before Li Dahai could speak, Li Xiaoxiao spoke first.
Li Huawen has grown a lot taller than before, but he is still a child and needs to be reminded all the time.
"I know, second sister. You've said it eight hundred times." Li Huawen pouted, looking unhappy.
"See, you're still unhappy." Li Xiaoxiao laughed.
"Hua Wen has a stable personality and the situation you described won't happen to him, so you can rest assured." Gu Feiyan picked up a piece of braised pork and put it naturally in the empty bowl in front of Li Xiaoxiao.
Then, Si Chengxu also picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, as if the two of them had discussed it beforehand. Then it was Gu Feiyan and then Si Chengxu. Since they were close to her, it was convenient for them.
Soon, the rice bowl in front of Li Xiaoxiao was piled up like a small mountain, and a plate of braised pork ran into her bowl: "That's enough, are you treating me like a pig?"
"You're too thin. You need to eat more." Si Chengxu said as a matter of course.
"There's not much, eat quickly, and I'll serve you more when you're done." Gu Feiyan seemed not to hear the complaint in Li Xiaoxiao's tone.
"I don't need any of you. I can do it myself." Li Xiaoxiao was overwhelmed. The meat in the bowl was about to fall out, and she still had to pick some for her. Was she unable to take care of herself and needed someone to serve her?
Si Chengxu put down his chopsticks and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth elegantly: "It's really troublesome for Mr. Gu to come to my house every day. Why don't I hire another teacher for Hua Wen so that Mr. Gu won't be bothered."
"Xiao Xiao and I are good friends. Besides, I like Hua Wen very much. It doesn't matter to me whether Hua Wen goes to my place or I come here to teach Hua Wen. Mr. Si, please don't worry about it."
"Aren't you training new recruits recently? I guess Mr. Si must be very busy. Is there anyone to take charge of the affairs of the military camp when you come back at this time?" Gu Feiyan insisted on his opinion and changed the subject, mentioning the matters of the military camp.
"Now that I have time to come back, the military affairs have naturally been arranged."
Li Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them, and started again. She silently picked up her bowl and walked out.
From then on, Si Chengxu would show up on time for dinner every night. Gu Feiyan used to only stay for dinner occasionally, but since Si Chengxu came, the two of them seemed to have made an agreement and neither of them was absent.
Sun and Li Dahai are experienced people. After a long time, they gradually noticed some clues. For example, every day they sat next to Xiaoxiao, one on the left and one on the right, and their daughter's bowl was always full of food.
Once Li Xiaoxiao got angry and said, "If anyone of you pick up food for me with a chopstick again, I won't eat it." It really worked and the two of them ate their own food.
Seeing that her daughter seemed to know nothing, Sun hesitated, wondering whether to tell her.
In fact, in her opinion, both Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan are the best, but she doesn't know what Xiaoxiao thinks.
Li Dahai advised that the children should solve their own problems and they should not interfere.
Sun nodded. After thinking about it, it made sense. No matter which one Xiaoxiao liked, it was up to her choice.
Li Huawen really wanted to help Gu Feiyan after he promised him: "Brother Gu, please take me to find my second sister."
"Okay." Gu Feiyan glanced at him with a smile in his eyes.
When they arrived at Li Xiaoxiao's restaurant, Li Xiaoxiao was busy greeting guests. It must be said that Li Xiaoxiao is really capable. There is nothing she can't do as long as she wants to do it, and she does it well.
Li Xiaoxiao felt that Gu Feiyan and Si Chengxu had been acting a little strange recently, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what was wrong with them.
That day she asked Sun if she had noticed anything wrong. Sun looked at her, thought about it again and again, and then decided to remind her.
My daughter is always smart, so why is she so slow when it comes to love? She must have discovered it a long time ago.
"Xiaoxiao, you are 17 years old this year. Tell me the truth, do you have someone you like?" Sun considered her words before speaking.
"What?" Li Xiaoxiao frowned, as if she didn't hear her clearly. Why did her mother suddenly ask this? How old is she? Her body hasn't developed well yet. Although she has had her period a long time ago, she is still a child.
"Mom is asking you if you have someone you like. Don't be embarrassed." Sun thought Li Xiaoxiao was embarrassed, so she asked again.
"No, I'm still young and my sister hasn't married yet. Why should I be in such a hurry?" Li Xiaoxiao really heard it clearly this time and said in a firm tone.
"I don't know what your sister thinks. Your grandmother has introduced many young men to her, but she didn't agree to any of them." Sun became worried when she mentioned this.
Both of her daughters are of marriageable age, but neither of them has settled down. She is anxious, but she can't rush them.
"I'll find a chance to ask her some other day. Could it be that the elder sister has someone in her heart?" Li Xiaoxiao guessed, but Li Ruolan never went out of the house and had never met many men.
