Chapter 158 Attending the Wedding
Yi Zhonghai smacked his eye bags and said slowly, "Five yuan is too little. How about 5 yuan?"
"Okay, 10 yuan is yuan. We can't be too cheap." After saying that, Yadamao handed the ten yuan to Yi Zhonghai neatly.
At this time, Jia Zhang saw the door was open and walked in from outside.
"Uncle, I came here this time to ask how much you will pay for Xu Damao's wedding?"
Yi Zhonghai put ten yuan into his pocket and winked at the old lady.
"I have a good relationship with Damao, so I have to give him 30 or 50 yuan for his wedding."
Hearing this, Jia Zhang was instantly unhappy: "Uncle Yi, thirty or fifty? That's too much, then how much should we give? My family doesn't have that much money."
Seeing that Jia Zhang believed it, Yi Zhonghai spoke in a serious tone.
"You have a family of three, so you must give more. Besides, Xu Damao has a good relationship with Li Youquan. You can take this opportunity to make peace with Li Youquan, right?"
"What does Xu Damao's marriage have to do with Li Youquan?" Jia Zhang's heart was beating fast.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang with a serious face.
"Sister-in-law, you don't understand this. If you give Xu Damao more money, he can help you speak well of Li Youquan. Then Li Youquan won't keep harassing you, right?"
"What you said makes sense. I'll go back and think about it."
Jia Zhang went back thoughtfully, and as soon as she entered the door, Jia Dongxu asked.
"Mom, how about it, how much did Auntie give Xu Damao?"
Jia Zhang said sourly: "Your uncle is rich, he wants to give Xu Damao fifty yuan!"
"Fifty? Mom, that's too much. We can't be like them and think highly of Xu Damao by giving him five dollars!"
"That's right! Mom didn't plan to give more, but I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to dare to give so much."
After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Jia Zhang decided to give less money.
Both mother and son were wondering in their hearts, how come Yi Zhonghai was so rich?
Before we knew it, the time for Xu Damao's wedding had arrived.
At noon, everyone in the courtyard, young and old, came to Fengze Garden.
Li Youquan got in the driver's car and arrived at the gate of Fengze Garden.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e standing at the hotel entrance in their wedding dresses.
When they saw Li Youquan getting off the car, they hurried over to greet him.
Standing next to Lou Xiao'e was a young and beautiful bridesmaid, who was secretly glancing at Li Youquan.
Xu Damao saw Li Youquan coming alone and asked with concern.
"Brother Li, where is your girlfriend? Why didn't Bai Ling come?"
"She has something to do today and can't come."
Li Youquan just said it lightly, and then handed Xu Damao a red envelope. Since he became Deputy Director Li, his allowance could not be spent all. Before leaving, he took out two hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them into Xu Damao's pockets.
Xu Damao is a man who will be useful in the future. 200 yuan is not a small amount of money, and it can be considered as a sum worthy of one's status.
Xu Damao took the red envelope, looked down, and his face was immediately filled with smiles again.
"Brother Li, you are spending too much money."
Afterwards, Lou Xiao'e gave the bridesmaid a warning and quickly took Li Youquan to the banquet.
Along the way, the bridesmaid was very enthusiastic and actively introduced herself to Li Youquan.
"Hello, my name is Li Xiaoxuan, and I'm Lou Xiao'e's best friend and classmate! I've heard about you for a long time. I saw you shooting enemy spies in the street last time. You looked so majestic!"
Faced with such awkward conversation, Li Youquan had to politely respond with a smile.
After a while, Li Youquan was invited to sit at the upper seat.
From a distance, Lou Bancheng was seen standing up and coming to greet Li Youquan.
"Deputy Director Li, I am Lou Bancheng, the father of Lou Xiao'e. I've heard Xu Damao talk about you for a long time! When I saw you today, I realized that you are indeed extraordinary!"
"Boss Lou, I've heard of your name for a long time! It's a rare opportunity to see you today."
Lou Bancheng took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Li Youquan.
Li Youquan was invited to sit in the seat of honor.
Li Xiaoxuan sat next to Li Youquan very naturally.
Lou Bancheng pointed to an old man sitting next to him.
"Youquan, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Li, a famous scientist in Sijiu City. Xiaoxuan next to you is his granddaughter."
Li Xiaoxuan looked at Li Youquan shyly.
"Uncle Lou, I'm Xiao'e's bridesmaid today. I've heard Xiao'e talk about Deputy Director Li before, but I didn't expect to see him so young today."
Scientist Mr. Li smiled naturally with his eyes narrowed: "Youquan, we all have the surname Li, so we are probably from the same family. Our Xiaoxuan is young and naive, you young people should have a good chat! Xiaoxuan, tell Youquan more about your experiences in my school!"
Hearing this, Li Xiaoxuan pulled Li Youquan aside to start chatting.
"I'm 19 years old, and you definitely look a few years older than me. From now on, I'll call you Brother Li, okay?"
Seeing that Li Xiaoxuan was lively and enthusiastic, Li Youquan had no choice but to nod.
"it is good."
Li Xiaoxuan did not consider herself an outsider at all and started talking to Li Youquan about school matters.
"Brother Li, I am the president of our school's drama club. We often stage dramas about enemy spies. Please tell me some true stories. I am planning to stage your deeds into a drama. This way, everyone will know that we have a great hero in City 49."
"You're exaggerating. I don't deserve to be called a hero. I'm far inferior to the heroes of the older generation."
"Brother Li, don't be so modest! You are a great hero in my heart. If you don't believe me, I will ask Uncle Lou for you."
Before Li Youquan could stop her, Li Xiaoxuan directly asked the question to Lou Bancheng.
"Uncle Lou, do you think my brother Li is a great hero?"
Hearing this, Lou Bancheng said seriously and solemnly.
"Of course, Li Youquan is a famous hero in our 49th city."
"See?" Li Xiaoxuan quickly turned her head to Li Youquan.
Li Youquan could only cooperate helplessly.
"Well, since you all say I'm a hero, I'll just be one for now."
During the time we were waiting for Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe to arrive and for all the guests to arrive.
Li Youquan had been listening to Li Xiaoxuan telling him about her college life.
Although he was not interested in these, it was a way to ease social awkwardness in such occasions.
Li Xiaoxuan was very outgoing and after a few interactions, she had told Li Youquan everything about her family situation.
It turned out that Li Xiaoxuan's parents were both abroad, and only Mr. Li was in the country.
Moreover, Li Xiaoxuan's entire family are senior intellectuals, and are all engaged in scientific research.
Li Xiaoxuan is also learning scientific experiments from her grandfather and preparing to take graduate school exams abroad.
Li Youquan felt that it was a rare opportunity to meet high-end talents, and perhaps these people could be of use in the future.
