After finishing the meal, Xiang Nan cleared away the dishes and sat back next to Li Guoxiu.
"Dad, please find a companion," he said.
"What did you say?" Li Guoxiu was startled and looked at Xiang Nandao in surprise.
"I said, you should find a partner." Xiang Nan repeated, "I originally thought that as long as I persisted, mom and you would get back together sooner or later. But now it seems that this matter is getting more and more slim.
In this case, what should I insist on? After all these years, find a companion. In this way, when I go to college next year, you will have someone by your side. "
"Son, are you serious?!" Li Guoxiu asked in surprise and joy.
In fact, he already has a good partner. But I was afraid that my son would object, so I never dared to take it home.
"I'm serious." Xiang Nan nodded.
In the play, Li Yu willfully drives out Li Guoxiu's lover and prohibits them from being together. In the end, in order to take care of his son's emotions, Li Guoxiu had no choice but to break up with her. In the end, I went to Wuyang alone to wander around. When I got sick, I didn't even have anyone to take care of me. It was really very pitiful.
Xiang Nan didn't want him to make the same mistake again, nor did he want to ruin Li Guoxiu's life's happiness because of his own reasons.
"Son, you are sensible~" Li Guoxiu said with tears in his eyes.
"I'm going to be eighteen soon. It's time to be sensible." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Okay." Li Guoxiu said happily.
…
Two days later, Li Guoxiu asked Xiang Nan out for dinner and planned to introduce Aunt Huang to him.
Xiang Nan guessed it.
So I took my newly received royalties of more than 3,900 yuan and went to the mall in person to choose a gift for her.
He walked around the mall and finally chose a 15-gram pure gold necklace from Chow Tai Fook for her.
In 1996, the price of gold was only over 100 yuan.
"Son, this is Aunt Huang." Li Guoxiu introduced, "Siqing, this is my son Li Yu."
"Hello Aunt Huang~" Xiang Nan greeted with a smile.
Huang Siqing looks about in her thirties, with good features and dignified temperament, which is quite good.
"You are Xiaoyu, you are really a talented person." Huang Siqing also smiled and said to Xiang Nan. Then he took out a gift from the bag and handed it over, "Auntie doesn't know what you like, so she bought you a random gift. I hope you won't dislike it."
"Thank you, auntie," Xiang Nan nodded, "I also prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it."
He also took out the gift from his pocket and gave it to him.
"Hey, you kid is so polite, you even gave me a gift." Huang Siqing was a little surprised.
"Let's all open it and take a look." Xiang Nan smiled, then opened the gift and saw it was a Tissot watch.
Huang Siqing also opened the gift from Xiang Nan and couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Guoxiu glanced sideways and couldn't help but be startled.
"Xiaoyu, where did you get this necklace?" he asked quickly.
"Of course I bought it." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Where did you get so much money? This necklace costs more than two thousand." Li Guoxiu asked.
As a factory director, his monthly salary is only fifteen thousand.
"I make my own money." Xiang Nan told the story of how he wrote, submitted articles to magazines, and earned royalties.
There is no need to hide this matter from others. Anyway, when dad is laid off next year, he will definitely confess.
Li Guoxiu and Huang Siqing looked at each other with shock on their faces.
Li Guoxiu didn't know that his son was so powerful. One article sold for more than 3,000 yuan, which was enough to cover his three months' salary.
Huang Siqing also didn't expect that her stepson would be so good at making money at such a young age. Four thousand yuan is really not a small sum.
"Guoxiu, Xiaoyu is really smart." Huang Siqing praised.
Li Guoxiu also nodded. His son is indeed very promising, and he is better than his predecessors.
…
After getting acquainted, the three began to eat.
Xiang Nan inquired about Huang Siqing's situation.
She works in the advertising department of a city radio station. She has been married once before and gave birth to a son. My husband went into business in the 1990s and had an affair after he got rich.
After Huang Siqing found out, she divorced him and the child belonged to the man.
She and Li Guoxiu met when they were working together in advertising. Because Li Guoxiu is a decent and kind-hearted person, he attracted her attention.
In fact, her conditions are very good and she has many suitors. However, due to a previous love injury, she does not like men who are smooth-talking and sweet-talking. On the contrary, Li Guoxiu's clumsy tongue and honest nature caught her eye.
The two have been dating for half a year, but Li Guoxiu was worried about his son's reaction, so he didn't take her home for a long time.
After figuring out her situation, Xiang Nan was quite satisfied.
On the one hand, Huang Siqing is a civil servant with a stable income; on the other hand, she takes this relationship very seriously. Otherwise, with her conditions, a better partner could be found.
"Aunt Huang, let me toast you. I wish you and my dad will get married soon and grow old together~" Xiang Nan raised his glass.
Huang Siqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
After getting along just now, she had a good impression of Xiang Nan.
For one thing, this kid is really smart and a genius. As soon as they met, he gave her a gift of more than 2,000 yuan, which was both a show of goodwill and a demonstration.
Needless to say, it goes without saying that a gift of more than two thousand yuan is definitely a heavy gift. And the fact that he gave such a heavy gift also indirectly shows that he has the ability to support himself.
If her stepmother didn't treat him well, he could run away from home in a minute. It's really smart of him to do that, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Secondly, this child also behaves very maturely and steadily. Children of his age are usually irritable and impulsive.
But Xiang Nan is calm and sophisticated. If you ignore his appearance and just look at his speech and behavior, you could say he is forty or fifty years old. It's really unusual.
Smart, steady, and capable, such a child has a promising future, which is really good. None of her own sons were so outstanding.
So she was very happy to adopt him as her stepson.
…
The meal was quite good for the three of us.
Two days later, Li Guoxiu discussed with Xiang Nan that if his son did not object, he would find an auspicious day to marry Huang Siqing.
In this case, he has a wife and his son has a mother.
Xiang Nan agreed.
Huang Siqing has good conditions. He is a civil servant, has a stable job, is good-looking, and not too old. It is not difficult to find a partner.
In comparison, Li Guoxiu's conditions are slightly worse.
One is a little older, after all, he is in his forties. Secondly, although he is the director of the factory, the factory's efficiency is not very good. If he is laid off, he will be in trouble.
By then, if you are in your forties and have no job, who will be willing to marry?
Therefore, while the conditions are good now, hurry up and get married to avoid long nights and dreams.
With his son's permission, Li Guoxiu was very happy and started preparations immediately.
