Chapter 25: Homecoming Son-in-Law?

"Popsicle?!" Both Wang Anyuan and Li Xiaoting couldn't help asking back with puzzled expressions.

"Yeah." Li Xiaojun nodded seriously, and continued: "I was playing with Erdan and Gouwa under the big tree at the entrance of the village that day, but the weather was so hot that we sweated a lot. We wanted to go home at first. Drinking water, but there is an ice cream seller."

"Erdan and Gouwa both went to buy an ice cream. I want to eat it too, but I have no money." Li Xiaojun said with a look of grievance on his face, and Li Xiaoting silently patted his little head.

Li Xiaojun continued: "Then the ice cream seller saw that I was pitiful, so he asked me if I wanted popsicles, and he gave me one. Of course I want one. Although the popsicles are not as good as ice cream, who doesn't like the free ones?"

"I wonder if you will dare to eat what others give you next time?" Li Xiaoting gave him a glare.

Li Xiaojun pursed his mouth: "I don't know. Erdan and Gouwa are fine, just me. As soon as the popsicle was put in my mouth, it melted and burrowed into my stomach. Sister, you don't know How cold I am these days. I will never eat popsicles again."

Li Xiaojun began to cry as he spoke.Li Xiaoting looked distressed, hugged him tightly in her arms and gently comforted him, her eyes were also red.

Wang Anyuan's heart was full of doubts: Han Chi was turned into a popsicle, are you kidding me?If someone accidentally slipped into the ice cream factory while hibernating, that's okay, if someone deliberately did it
Wang Anyuan didn't dare to think any further.

In the following time, Wang Anyuan then helped Li Xiaojun check his body to see if there were any remaining hidden dangers.Another half an hour passed after this toss.

"Brother Wang, come over for dinner." Li Xiaoting came in from the outside and called softly.

Wang Anyuan nodded and stood up.

"I want to eat too, I can already smell chicken." Li Xiaojun yelled immediately.

"Lie down on the bed obediently." Li Xiaoting glared at him, then added after seeing him languid, "I'll bring you a bowl of chicken soup later."

Li Xiaojun became happy again, and shouted: "Sister is so kind."

Wang Anyuan followed Li Xiaoting to the outhouse with a smile. Only then did he have the opportunity to carefully observe the situation of Li Xiaoting's house.

There is only an old Eight Immortals table and a few benches in the hall. Behind the table is a desk with a portrait of the Supreme Lord on it.Other than that, there is nothing else.

"Wang Wang" Ding Xiuqin wanted to call Wang Anyuan to sit down, but didn't know how to address him, and stood there awkwardly for a moment.

Wang Anyuan quickly said, "Auntie, just call me Wang Anyuan."

"Okay, then sit down quickly." Ding Xiuqin wiped the stool with her cuff, and quickly pulled him to sit down.Over there, Li Weiguo had already taken out a small bottle and poured wine for him.

Wang Anyuan sat down cautiously, and glanced at the dishes on the table.The most conspicuous thing is a large pot of chicken, then several kinds of vegetables, and a plate of peanuts.Simple but full of farmhouse atmosphere.

"There's no good food to serve, let's just eat it." Li Weiguo was a sullen man, he didn't know how to talk, he just kept pouring wine for Wang Anyuan, but Ding Xiuqin kept expressing his gratitude to Wang Anyuan.

Wang Anyuan saw that if this situation continued, he would fall to the ground as a cultivator, so he quickly found a topic to slow down Li Weiguo's persuasion.

"Uncle Li, in fact, I made a special trip here this time to find Xiaoting."

Hearing this, Li Weiguo and Ding Xiuqin were stunned for a moment, Li Xiaoting blushed pretty and lowered her head, only focused on eating rice, but her little ears stood upright.

It turned out that he came here for his own daughter.Li Weiguo and his wife muttered something in their hearts, and then looked Wang Anyuan up and down: thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall and fair, good-looking, who can save Xiaojun's life, he must be a capable person.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo glanced at Ding Xiuqin and saw that his wife also nodded slightly, so he simply said: "We agree."

"Huh?" Now it's Wang Anyuan's turn to be surprised, I didn't say anything, and you agreed?What did you agree to?

At this moment, Li Xiaoting put down the bowl and chopsticks suddenly and ran into the room with a blushing face.

Li Weiguo thought for a while, and then said: "We don't have any other requirements, we just hope that you can treat Xiaoting well."

"As for the betrothal gifts, just do the same as other families in the village. We don't want more." Ding Xiuqin quickly added, Li Weiguo was a little embarrassed, and gave her a sneaky look.

Wang Anyuan understood now, he couldn't laugh or cry all of a sudden: "Uncle and auntie, you made a mistake, I didn't come to Xiaoting to propose a marriage, I came to introduce her a job."

"What?" Now it was the turn of Li Weiguo and his wife to blush, and even Li Xiaoting, who was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, was too ashamed.

"I opened a pharmacy in Nanxing City, and I wanted to find a trustworthy person to take care of me. Didn't I think of Xiaoting?" Wang Anyuan continued to explain. Seeing the hesitation on Li Weiguo's face, he quickly opened his mouth to add Said: "I will give her a salary of 5000 yuan a month, and I can add more in the future, and there will be big red envelopes during the Chinese New Year."

A salary of 5000 yuan?It takes two months to catch up with a year's harvest.Li Weiguo and Ding Xiuqin looked happy, and they were about to say yes, but at this moment, a voice sounded:
"I disagree."

Seeing Li Xiaoting running out from the back room, she looked at Wang Anyuan blushing and said, "Brother Wang, it's okay for me to help you look at the store. But you don't need to pay me, just take care of food and housing."

"What stupid things are you talking about, silly girl?" Ding Xiuqin became anxious all of a sudden.

"It's what it should be." Li Xiaoting retorted unconvinced, "Brother Wang saved Xiaojun's life today, do we still have the nerve to ask for his money?"

Ding Xiuqin was at a loss for words and could only shut her mouth resentfully, but glared at Li Xiaoting several times.

Wang Anyuan looked at Li Xiaoting and smiled. Where can I find a girl who is as transparent as crystal inside and out? He said, "The salary must be paid, and it must be paid first." Master Mao's stack of money was taken out and placed on the table.

Li Xiaoting became anxious all of a sudden, and was about to come up to refuse, but Wang Anyuan gently grabbed her arm.

"Last time I had a problem, you helped me, now your family has a problem, I'll help you. Let's not be polite to anyone." Wang Anyuan said with a smile, Li Xiaoting was gently grabbed by his big hand, and began to shy again , the voice also unknowingly lowered down: "How much are the clothes and bus tickets worth?"

"It's not a matter of money." Wang Anyuan looked at her seriously and said, "For example, the bowl of rice in front of me is not worth a lot of money, but if it is placed in front of a person who is about to starve to death, it is life-saving. .Do you understand the reasoning?"

Li Xiaoting's cheeks were flushed, and she nodded slightly, not sure if she had listened.

Wang Anyuan let go of her arm, then handed the money to Ding Xiuqin, and said, "Auntie, you keep this money, treat it as a big red envelope for Xiaoting."

"Okay." Ding Xiuqin declined a few times, then took it with a smile on her face, and finally greeted warmly: "Why don't you stay here tonight and have a good chat with Xiaoting."

When Li Xiaoting heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, covered her face and hid in the room.

Wang Anyuan was stunned, staying overnight? !Why does this sound like marrying a daughter?
