Chapter 677: What else is there to make a fuss about?
Zhao Xu heard it was his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao knocking on the door, so he walked to the door and opened the study door.
After Li Miaomiao came in, she looked around in the study, thinking that Zhao Xu was doing something shady. After looking for a long time, she couldn't find any clues.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing in the study? Why did you lock the door?" A trace of doubt flashed across Li Miaomiao's face.
"I'm practicing calligraphy!"
"Practice calligraphy?"
Li Miaomiao was like a little fox, with a cunning look in her eyes. She muttered in a low voice: "You practice calligraphy, why should you lock the door?"
When she walked to the desk, she saw that the ink on the rice paper had not yet dried up, and it looked like fresh handwriting.
The font is majestic, like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing.
Although Li Miaomiao doesn't know calligraphy, she can tell that she writes well.
"Brother-in-law, you can do it! The handwriting is so beautiful." Li Miaomiao praised Zhao Xu sincerely.
Zhao Xu tapped his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao on the head and said with a smile: "Now you know that studying hard is useful!"
"What does practicing calligraphy have to do with studying hard?" Li Miaomiao retorted disapprovingly.
Zhao Xu said plausibly: "At least, this is a specialty. Then let me ask you, what is your specialty?"
"this......"
Li Miaomiao was speechless for a moment.
She had learned to dance, but she stopped practicing halfway through, so she gave up halfway. As for singing, although she had all five notes, her voice was too ordinary and she couldn't become a star. She was even worse at learning.
Li Miaomiao thought about it, but she really couldn't think of anything special about herself. After holding it in for a long time, she asked Zhao Xu with a smile: "Brother-in-law, is playing games considered a speciality?"
"I'm very good at assisting in Honor of Kings! Haven't you heard that e-sports has now been included as a sports competition by the country?" Li Miaomiao said proudly.
Zhao Xu deliberately hit his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao and asked: "With your level, can you play professional games?"
After hearing Zhao Xu's words, Li Miaomiao's forehead was covered with black lines, and she pouted her little mouth and said dissatisfied: "Oh! Can you stop hitting people? I'm almost worthless by you!"
Zhao Xu really wanted to tell his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao that you are "good for nothing!" But in the end he did not say this.
He taught his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao earnestly: "You! You should study hard. You will take the college entrance examination in the new year. My family does not expect you to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University. You can be admitted to a second-tier university."
Okay. Your sister is worried about you."
"Okay! I get it."
Li Miaomiao felt a little depressed after being trained by Zhao Xu.
Whenever the family members get a chance, everyone will scold him or her. This makes Li Miaomiao feel more and more resentful.
She also knew that her family members were thinking about their own future, but learning was not something that could be accomplished overnight.
Why!
I don’t know if I am not naturally good at learning, and why I feel sleepy.
Zhao Xu saw his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao in a daze and gently patted her shoulder.
"Miaomiao, do you have a problem with me?" Zhao Xu asked his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao.
Only then did Li Miaomiao come back to her senses and said to Zhao Xu: "By the way, brother-in-law! Grandma just called and asked you to go to Tao's house if you have time now and say that she has something to do with you."
"The old lady is looking for me?" Zhao Xu frowned upon hearing this.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket and took a look, only to see two missed calls on it. One was from Mrs. Tao, and the other was from his wife Li Qingqing. It turned out that he had just been indulging in practicing calligraphy and gave the phone to
Mute.
Zhao Xu first called his wife Li Qingqing back and asked her why she called him just now.
Li Qingqing said that her mother, Tao Aihua, was ill and that her company was too busy and had no time, so she asked Zhao Xu to go check on her on her behalf.
When he heard the news that Tao Aihua was ill, Zhao Xu didn't feel too much. After all, Tao Aihua had been giving him a look since he married into the Li family. But for the sake of his wife Li Qingqing, Zhao Xu decided to go to the Tao family to have a look.
, not to mention that Mrs. Tao just asked me to go to Tao's house.
Zhao Xu picked up his coat and left, saying to his sister-in-law Li Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, there are leftovers from last night in the refrigerator. Remember to heat up the food at noon. I went to Tao's house, and I won't have dinner at home at noon!"
After saying that, he took big steps and left the study.
Li Miaomiao did not leave the study immediately, she felt a little strange.
Last night, for some unknown reason, two large porcelain bottles in the study were broken.
Li Miaomiao saw that her sister Li Qingqing and Zhao Xu had a harmonious relationship, and they didn't look like they were quarreling. She became suspicious, what happened in the study last night?
She looked left and right and saw a lot of discarded calligraphy works thrown into the trash can. She picked them up and counted them, and there were more than thirty works.
Li Miaomiao remembered that when she was studying in the study yesterday, she had not seen these abandoned calligraphy works.
Did Zhao Xu write so many calligraphy masterpieces in one night?
Seeing this, Li Miaomiao felt a little admiration for Zhao Xu. How else could his calligraphy be so beautiful? It must have been achieved through hard work.
It seems that no one can succeed casually!
Li Miaomiao looked back and forth in the study, and suddenly saw a hole the size of a thumb on the wall.
Huh?
Li Miaomiao screamed in surprise and walked to the wall. She used her smallest little finger to explore the hole and found that it was three or four centimeters deep.
It's strange, this hole didn't exist before? Why did there suddenly appear a hole in the wall?
Li Miaomiao studies in the study room with her tutor Feng Yingnan every day. Therefore, she is very familiar with the various furnishings in the study room.
She was 100% sure that the small hole in the wall was newly made.
Li Miaomiao touched it with her hand and saw that the surroundings of the small hole were smooth. It didn't look like it was chiseled or dug out. How could a hole appear for no reason? It's really true.
I can't figure it out.
After Zhao Xu came to Tao's house, he thought Tao Aihua was seriously ill, but it turned out to be just a common cold. When he heard that Tao Aihua had a common cold, he felt very angry!
If you catch a cold, you can just take some medicine. What should you call Li Qingqing? My wife Li Qingqing is still worried about her mother Tao Aihua's condition.
After Zhao Xu greeted Tao Aihua, he came to Mrs. Tao's house.
"Grandma!" Zhao Xu greeted Mrs. Tao.
"Zhao Xu, you're here! Sit down quickly." Mrs. Tao said to Zhao Xu with a kind smile on her face.
Ever since Mrs. Tao fell seriously ill and handed over the Tao family's business to Li Qingqing, she seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming more amiable and approachable.
Zhao Xu naturally would not be familiar with an elderly person like Mrs. Tao. After Mrs. Tao changed, she became the perfect grandmother image in Zhao Xu's mind. Therefore, Zhao Xu ignored the past grievances and reconciled with Mrs. Tao.
.
However, Zhao Xu still had a grudge against his mother-in-law, Tao Aihua.
After Zhao Xu sat down, Mrs. Tao said with a smile: "Zhao Xu! Actually, I came to you for nothing important. I just want to talk to you about your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Zhao Xu nodded, knowing that the conflict between his father-in-law and his mother-in-law was deep. It was really not an option to continue this stalemate for a long time.
Old Mrs. Tao said: "Only when everything is prosperous is the family. Your little life is getting more and more prosperous now. The Tao family's business is also on the right track under the leadership of Qingqing. So, I want you to go and persuade you.
Father-in-law, tell him to relax. We have been married for decades, why are we making such a fuss?"
"Grandma, I know a little bit about this matter. As the saying goes, a slap will last forever. If my mother-in-law did everything right, how could the two of them quarrel as soon as they met."
Mrs. Tao nodded and said, "I will speak well of Aihua regarding her aspect. It's just that although Li Guolong is an honest person, he has a very stubborn temper. Even I can't persuade him. I heard from Qingqing that your father-in-law and
You have a pretty good relationship. So, can you try to make peace with me?"
Zhao Xu did not compromise, and said directly to Mrs. Tao in a deep voice: "I don't want to get involved in this matter. Whether the two of them can go from marriage to the end depends on each other, not one party's compromise. So, when it comes to relationships,
As for the matter, let my father-in-law and mother-in-law handle it on their own!" After saying that, he stood up and left.
On the way out, I found Tao Aihua lying at the door eavesdropping.
