Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 404
"Crackling..." As the Spring Festival approached, the sound of firecrackers in Chinatown became more frequent, and it became a beautiful landscape in Chinatown.

"Happy Chinese New Year!" Marisa hugged Peter and said in Chinese to Li Wantang at the door. After living with Li Weisi for so long, Marisa can already speak a few simple Chinese.

At the end of January, Marisa finished filming, finally returned home, and had a good rest for a few days.

During this period of time, she not only celebrated Li Weisi's birthday with her, but also came to Chinatown today, just before the Spring Festival, to have a family dinner with Li Weisi's family.

"Happy Chinese New Year! Don't stand outside, come in quickly! My grandson is almost frozen to death!" Li Wantang stretched out his arms to hug Peter as he spoke, and the intergenerational relationship was vividly reflected in Li Wantang.

Today's Li Wantang is completely different from the small restaurant owner two years ago.

The old shop in Chinatown also opened last summer, and now he is the owner of two restaurants. As the saying goes, people are happy on happy occasions. Today, Li Wantang's career is going well, his son is promising, and he has a grandson in his arms. What else? Not satisfied?
Just looking at the appearance, compared with the cook who was circling around the stove back then, he felt a few years younger.

"Come, come, sit and sit, Weiguo, go and inform the kitchen that the food is ready!" Hugging Peter Li Wantang, he said to Li Weiguo who was on the side, and then walked towards the private room while teasing Peter.

"Okay, uncle!" Li Weiguo, who has now become the small leader of the hotel, seems to have been tempered for a period of time, and his behavior is quite methodical, and he responded repeatedly.

Pushing open the door of the box, the whole box has an antique style, the screen jade pillars, mahogany tables and chairs, and the hollow carved windows sprinkled with specks of sunlight, it seems to have entered another world.

"Sit down, sit down, I won't greet you."

"I said uncle, you have a grandson, you forgot about your son! Ever since you walked into the gate of the hotel, Peter has grown in your hands." After sitting down, Frank joked to Li Wantang.

"Go, play, play, make trouble, don't make fun of your uncle! Besides, I don't care what my grandson's name is outside, but here, he is called Bingde. Don't tell me his English name." Li Wantang said unwillingly.

"Okay, this is your grandson, you can call him whatever you like!" Frank said with a smile.

Today is a family dinner at Li Weisi's house. Frankly speaking, Frank shouldn't be here, but Li Wantang insists on calling him Frank, because Frank has been here almost every year since he was a child. In Li Wantang's heart, Frank has long been a family.

"The dishes are here!" Not long after sitting down, Li Weiguo opened the door and ordered the waiter to bring all the dishes.

"Aunt Niu, come and sit down too!" Li Weiguo said loudly when he saw Aunt Niu in the corridor at the door when the waiter finished serving the dishes and went out.

"Hey, it's inappropriate for me to sit here." Aunt Niu who walked to the door said embarrassedly to Li Weiguo.

"What's inappropriate? Isn't this a family right now?" Li Weiguo laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Aunt Niu said shyly.

"Come and sit together!" Li Wantang, who was stroking Peter, also looked over at this time.

"No, there are still many customers outside!" Aunt Niu resisted a little.

"It's okay! There are waiters calling out to the guests outside, so if it's not your turn, sit down quickly!" Li Weiguo pushed Aunt Niu to Li Wantang's side and sat down.

"Hey, I heard what Brother Wei said. Uncle, is this a good thing coming soon?" To say such a thing, Frank's brain turned quickly, and he immediately heard the meaning of several people.

Unlike Li Weisi, sitting on the seat is like a piece of wood, completely deaf to what is going on outside the window.

"Hahaha, don't listen to Weiguo's nonsense, the horoscope has not been written yet!" Aunt Niu said with a flushed face.

Aunt Niu, who is less than 50 years old now, can be seen that when she was young, she was also a pretty girl from all over the world. With the improvement of living standards, although there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her charm still exists, and her temperament has changed from the inside out. be different.

"Why didn't you say anything? Didn't my uncle get married this year?" Hearing Aunt Niu's intention to cover up, Li Weiguo mercilessly exposed it.

"Go, sit and go, no big or small!" Li Wantang quickly interrupted Li Weiguo.

"Really? Are you finally getting married?" Frank asked.

"Hey, that's it. We plan to get married after the new year." Speaking of this, Li Wantang also felt a little embarrassed.

"This is a good thing! Hey, isn't it? Weisi!" While speaking, Frank touched Li Weisi with his elbow and reminded him.

"Ah? Oh, yes, it's a good thing!" Li Weisi, who woke up from the fugue, subconsciously nodded.

"You really think so?" Li Wantang's eyes were a little excited, but he still kept his voice steady.

"Yes, I can't find any reason to object to the matter between you and Aunt Niu." Li Weisi said calmly.

For ordinary sons, it is difficult for a father to find a stepmother for himself, but Li Weisi is different. In his opinion, this kind of thing is not only in line with the physiological needs of the human body, but also in line with the social order, and more in line with the law. Li Weisi didn't know why he objected to laws and regulations and human moral constraints.

Seeing that Li Weisi was so sensible, Li Wantang was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, come here, hurry up and eat the vegetables, it will be cold in a while!"

"West, what's the matter?" Since everyone was speaking in Chinese, only Marisa couldn't understand, so she had to ask Li Weisi in a low voice.

"Oh, my father is going to marry Aunt Niu."

"Really? That's great! Congratulations, uncle, aunt!" Marisa also blessed the two happily.

"Thank you, Marisa, by the way, when will you and Wei Si get married? Look, you have children now, but you are still not married. It's not a big deal!" Aunt Niu came to the United States for so long Time, daily English communication is no longer a serious problem, so I took the initiative to ask Marisa.

"This..." Marisa hesitated subconsciously when she heard Aunt Niu's words, and then looked at Li Weisi again. Obviously, she valued Li Weisi's attitude on this matter more.

"Don't look at him, I'm asking you!" Obviously, Aunt Niu took the attitude of breaking the casserole and asking Marisa.

"This has to wait for West to propose to me first!" Marisa said embarrassedly.

"Did you hear, Weisi, Marisa thinks you didn't propose!" After receiving Marisa's reply, Aunt Niu finally let Marisa go, but turned her finger on Li Weisi again.

"Ah? Still asking for marriage? It's so troublesome...Frank, how do you ask for this marriage proposal?" Li Weisi was a little embarrassed, so he subconsciously turned his head and asked Frank.

Frank was stunned, what the hell are you asking me to propose?You ask me, who am I to ask?I'm still single!
