Antongyuan.
Although Li Jie said that he only needed to buy some fruit, Tang Li still bought a lot of things, with both hands full of large and small bags.
Moreover, she refused to let Li Jie help and insisted on carrying it herself.
When visiting your home for the first time, etiquette is still required.
Entering the corridor, seeing the destination getting closer and closer, Tang Li felt increasingly uneasy.
She was really nervous.
"Oh, this is Xiao Tang. You came here as soon as you came. Why did you bring so many things?"
Gao Mu welcomed Tang Li into the door with a smile on her face.
"Auntie, it's just some fruits and nutritional supplements."
Tang Li lowered her head, not daring to look at Gao Mu because Gao Mu's eyes were too intense.
Tang Li is dressed simply today, and she looks like the kind of person who knows how to live at home.
She had permed her hair before, but she straightened it a few days ago.
She straightened her hair not because she knew in advance that she was going to visit today, but because she found that 'Gao Qiang' didn't seem to like wavy hairstyles too much.
On the other side, Gao Mu looked more and more satisfied.
This girl is tall, has an upright appearance, and looks very well-behaved. At first glance, she looks like a gentle woman.
It is said that the girl used to be a professional Go player, but later retired and went to Shanghai to study at a prestigious university in Shanghai.
She is beautiful and well-educated, and is definitely more than enough for her own son.
"You have a heart."
Ever since Tang Li came in, the smile on Gao Mu's face hadn't stopped. She was serving tea and water. After working for a while, she put on her apron again and explained.
"You sit down for a while, the food will be ready soon."
"Auntie, can I come over and help you?"
As soon as she saw Gao Mu going to the kitchen, Tang Li stood up quickly and followed Gao Mu to the kitchen.
"No, no, there's no point in letting guests cook."
Gao Mu waved her hands repeatedly, how dare she cook for the first time someone came to her house.
Now Xiao Tang and his son are still in a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, which is inappropriate.
"It's okay, Auntie, I often cook when I'm at home."
Tang Li smiled, rolled up her sleeves and came to the pool to start processing the ingredients that would be used later.
Seeing this, Gao Mu no longer refused.
Anyway, all the hard vegetables have been prepared in advance, and the rest is some stir-fry. The vegetables have basically been cut, except for a few potatoes.
After they left, only Li Jie and Dad Gao were left in the living room.
"Son, how far have you developed with this girl?"
When speaking, Dad Gao lowered his voice and glanced in the direction of the kitchen from time to time.
The Gao family's house is not big, and sound insulation is almost never considered in the old house. If you speak too loudly, you will definitely hear it in the kitchen.
"We've known each other for a long time. We were interested in each other before, but we didn't confirm our relationship until yesterday."
Li Jie answered Gao's father's question truthfully. There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing.
"Well."
Hearing this, Father Gao was stunned for a moment.
"The relationship was only confirmed yesterday?"
He said this very quietly, more like talking to himself.
The relationship was confirmed yesterday and brought back today?
This... this is too hasty, right?
Li Jie smiled slightly. He heard the surprise in Gao's father's words, so he explained.
"She and I are serious, not joking. If nothing else happens, we will probably get married next year."
"Getting married next year?"
Father Gao was speechless and said, "Isn't it too fast?"
"It's not too fast, it's going to happen naturally when the feelings are there."
Li Jie smiled and said calmly.
"By the way, after the Chinese New Year, I plan to buy a house. This house will be used as a wedding room."
Although you earn the money yourself, buying a house is definitely a big event for a family, and it is still necessary to notify it.
"Forehead……"
Hearing this, Father Gao opened his mouth, then closed it again after a while.
Whatever.
When the children are older, they earn their own money, so just let them do whatever they want.
Besides, getting married is not a bad thing.
If they get married earlier, the couple can have grandchildren sooner.
It's good to help take care of the children while they are still young.
"Fine."
After a long time, Father Gao nodded.
"But you have to talk to your mother about this and ask her opinion."
"Well, I'll tell her later."
In fact, it is no longer important to ask Gao Mu's opinion. Judging from Gao Mu's performance just now, she must be very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Today's meal is definitely the happiest meal that Gao's father and mother have eaten this year. Even if the New Year has not arrived and the New Year's Eve dinner has not been eaten, the result will not change in any way.
Nine p.m.
After sending Tang Li away, Gao Mu realized that her face was a little stiff. After realizing it, Gao Mu rubbed her face and gave orders.
"Lao Gao, Lao Gao, go and boil some hot water. I want to apply it on my face."
"Put it on your face?"
Father Gao walked a few steps and came closer, with doubts on his face.
Seeing his wife rubbing his face, Gao's father understood.
That's a lot of laughter.
"Ha ha."
Thinking of this, Father Gao couldn't help laughing.
However, when he smiled, he suddenly realized that his face seemed a little stiff.
"Go quickly."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Father Gao rubbed his cheeks and walked into the kitchen humming a tune.
…
…
…
The next day.
Li Jie and Tang Li went to the Chess Academy together. Strictly speaking, this was Li Jie's first formal visit to the leadership of the Chess Academy.
The leaders of the Chess Academy also attached great importance to his visit. All the leaders in Beijing were present and a small welcome ceremony was held.
After getting familiar with each other, while the leaders were all around, the Chess Academy officially awarded the honorary certificate to Li Jie.
Time passed by at noon, and Li Jie and the leaders of the chess academy had a light meal in the cafeteria box.
Although it is said to be a simple meal, it is actually no worse than the big hotels outside.
After all, it is a private dish prepared by the chef, and the taste is indeed not bad.
During the dinner, it was natural to exchange cups and cups. When the atmosphere was heightened, the leader of the chess academy took advantage of the situation and made an invitation.
Li Jie came with good intentions this time and agreed after a little refusal.
Afterwards, the two parties briefly discussed the details, and the matter was settled at the dinner table.
The result is probably that Li Jie will be hired by the Chess Academy as an honorary coach of the Chess Academy, which does not occupy the staff, has free working hours, and a monthly salary of 3,000.
If you are a sparring partner, the appearance fee will be calculated separately.
Of course, the appearance fee is not very expensive, one hundred games per game.
Letting a world champion serve as a sparring partner for only 100 yuan is a completely ridiculous price.
After finalizing this matter, Li Jie finally had a serious job.
After the Chinese New Year, Li Jie officially started working. He rushed to the Chess Academy at ten o'clock every morning and got off work at seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Fortunately, Qiyuan is in charge of food, so lunch and dinner are eaten in the cafeteria.
From ten o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening, Li Jie can probably play five or six games. If you include the fixed monthly salary of 3,000, his daily income is six to seven hundred.
Six to seven hundred a day, twenty thousand a month, in 2008, this was definitely a high salary.
