Uncle Hua also understood what was going on. After the young man left, he went to the kitchen to add another dish and served it personally to thank Li Du.
He stood by the table and was about to bow when Li Du held him and said, "Uncle Hua, you're welcome. Actually, I have something to ask of you. I'm planning to get married soon, but I haven't found a candidate for the wedding yet."
Uncle Hua naturally understood what he meant. He rubbed his hands and said, "Boss, I might not be able to do it."
Li Du said, "You don't have to be so polite. I've tasted these dishes. They're very good. The dishes you're going to cook are for foreigners. There's no better candidate than you."
Hearing this, Uncle Hua agreed readily, "Alright, since the boss likes me, then I won't be unreasonable."
Li Du said, "But the wedding is not in America, it's in Australia. You'll have to move there."
Uncle Hua laughed and said, "That's great. Then I can take a trip abroad."
Li Du had thought that coming to Seattle would be killing three birds with one stone, but now it seemed that it was killing four birds with one stone. Li Du was in a better mood. This was a very efficient use of time.
After leaving Seattle, Li Du took Sophie and the group of naughty children on a private jet home for the New Year.
The villa, which had been messed up by the cleaning company, had been cleaned up. Li Du's father and mother did not stay there much. They spent most of their time in the old building, watching TV, drinking tea, and chatting with their neighbors.
This time, Li Du brought his family back and the villa was ready for use. Li Du's father got the cleaners to clean it up in advance. When Li Du arrived home, he saw a new big house.
Compared to a few years ago, the occupancy rate of the villa area had increased greatly. At noon, many elderly people were out in the sun with their children.
Li Du's parents would occasionally come to the villa and were very familiar with the elderly people. The county was not big, and the villa area was even smaller. Any news would spread quickly.
The elderly people in the villa area knew that Li Du was doing well in the United States. Although their children could afford a villa in the county, it was certainly not comparable to the manors in Los Angeles.
The elderly liked to compare. They were not as good as Li Du's parents in terms of sons, but they were better than the third generation because Li Du had no children and was not even married.
Li Du rode in a rented business car into the garden of the villa. When he saw his parents in the garden, he waved and shouted, "Mom, Dad, I'm back."
Li Du's parents were overjoyed. Without greeting Li Du, they proudly said to their old friends who were basking in the sun and looking after their children, "You guys go ahead and play. Our son will come back to see us. We'll go back first."
Someone couldn't stand their complacency and curled his lips, saying, "What kind of child is this? Son or grandson? My grandson will also come to see me later. "
Li Du's father was not to be outdone. He coughed and said, "Yo, your grandson is here? It was rare to come here once a year. This was truly a joyous occasion. My son came back, but he brought along his daughter-in-law and grandchildren … "
A silver-haired old lady asked in surprise, "Ah, Old Li, you have grandchildren? Since when? Your son hasn't gotten married yet, right? "
"His daughter-in-law is an American. I've seen movies, and it's quite popular in America to have children before marriage. There are often news of celebrities having children before marriage. It's not strange."
"Yes, I heard that Americans are very open-minded. Some women will only find a man to marry after having dozens of partners. What's that called again? Yes, overseas, it's called taking over, finding someone to take over! "
"Haha, Old Li, you have to be sure. Did your son also take over? I saw that the photo of your daughter-in-law is very beautiful, but as the old saying goes, handsome people suffer, and handsome people suffer. Your daughter-in-law probably didn't lack partners in the past. "
Hearing these words, Li Du's parents were angry. Wasn't this an obvious insult?
Li Du's mother looked coldly at the old lady who had spoken last and said, "Old Cao, you don't have to worry about my family's affairs. My Sophie's private life is very clean. After all, she is a famous foreign university student and has received higher education. Unlike some girls who might not have even gone to high school and can fool their parents-in-law with a fake degree. "
Li Du's father followed up, "That's right. Whose granddaughter-in-law was it? She said she graduated from a famous university in Beijing, but in the end, she took a toilet's instruction manual to clean the dishwasher. Isn't that a joke?"
Hearing this, the old man at the side laughed out loud.
This was a joke in the Cao family. The old lady's son was a builder, and in recent years, he had made a lot of money from the domestic real estate boom.
The old lady's family was not cultured. Now that they had money, they wanted to find a daughter-in-law for their grandson and asked for a higher education. But the grandson himself was an idiot. He did not care about education. He only cared about whether the girl was beautiful or not.
Later, he fell in love with a shopping guide in a shopping mall. Although the girl was beautiful, she was not cultured. The Cao family's grandson came up with an idea to help the girl make a fake certificate.
Anyway, the Cao family was not cultured and could not tell if the certificate was real or fake. Later on, when they had just installed a dishwasher, they did not know how to use it, so they looked for an instruction manual to learn.
This task naturally fell on the Cao family's granddaughter-in-law, who was the most educated. But the girl could not understand it, so she could only let the technical staff of the electronics company guide her.
The technical staff was very depressed. He said that it was very simple and could be understood by looking at the instruction manual.
The Cao family's daughter-in-law was not convinced and handed the instruction manual to him. The technical staff was shocked when he saw it. The instruction manual was for the smart toilet. Of course, it was useless to use the dishwasher!
This matter was the Cao family's Madam's reverse scale. No one could touch it. When Papa Li said this, she flew into a rage out of humiliation. She shouted at the top of her voice, "Old Li, you shameless dog. Listen to what sh * t you are spewing out of your mouth. You old thing, you scolded ugly shameless …"
She had a little poodle. This kind of dog was good at relying on its master's power. When it saw its master scolding it, it would also bark at the top of its voice.
Mama Li was furious when her husband was scolded. She went up and scolded back, "We shameless people at least have some face. What about your family? Does your family have any face? In the past, when I saw your son and grandson's attitude, I thought that the weasels gave birth to mice. But now, look at you. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. This is all passed down. Why, do you treat shamelessness as a family heirloom? It has been passed down from generation to generation … "
The old man and the old lady next to him were usually bored. Now that there was a quarrel, they were suddenly energized. In the county, people were not very friendly. No one came up to stop the quarrel. Instead, they added fuel to the fire and watched the commotion.
Li Du saw this as soon as he got out of the car. His parents did not come to pick him up. Instead, they were quarreling with someone in the small square in the garden. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly went to see what was going on.
Opening the car door, a few naughty children rushed out. When they saw Li Du walking towards the small square, they immediately followed.
