The next morning, Mu Sheng's family got up early to pack. There were all kinds of jewelry they packed yesterday, as well as various newly bought fashionable items, and meeting gifts prepared for each other's parents. They were all ready.
There were several big bags. Fortunately, they had their own cars, otherwise they wouldn’t have known how to bring these things over!
This time the whole family was mobilized. In addition to Mu Jiansheng's family from other provinces, Mu Sheng's grandparents, father and mother were all ready. It was their first meeting, and it was also a meeting to discuss engagement. Naturally, the Mu family attached great importance to it, that is, Mu Zhi
Guohe Mu Dejin also rarely put on the new clothes prepared by his daughter-in-law, looking particularly open and energetic!
"Dad, I'll drive, you sit in the back!"
Mu Sheng sat in the driver's seat and honked the horn to remind them that it was time to leave. Wang Hua and Wu Zhen looked at each other and smiled, looking at their grandson (son)'s anxious look and they were both dumbfounded. This child was really a rare thing.
"Okay, today is your big day, you can do whatever you want!"
Mu Dejin sat down on the passenger seat. After everything was put neatly, Mu Sheng drove. He was very excited, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Isn't it a little early for us to go there at this time?"
Wang Hua was a little hesitant. It was only eight o'clock now. Even if it took an hour to drive, it would still be only nine o'clock when we arrived. He was afraid that his in-laws were still having breakfast. Isn't this a bit embarrassing?
"Grandma, don't worry, there's no problem. I've already called Yiyi. They're waiting at home. They said they won't go out to eat at noon. Aunt Liu and Grandma Liu will prepare a table for us with their local specialties!"
"Oh, how embarrassing is this!" Wu Zhen echoed, "We are meeting the in-laws. Isn't it bad to eat at the in-laws' house? It will make people think that we don't value Yiyi. Besides, how can we let the in-laws and grandma cook?
Isn’t this rude!”
"Mom, this is what Grandma Liu and Aunt Liu do!"
Mu Sheng gave a thumbs up, and Mu Dejin next to him warned, "Concentrate on driving!"
The most taboo thing for drivers is not paying attention while driving, otherwise it is easy to cause an accident. Mu Sheng nodded and continued, "If you feel sorry for yourself, you can help me when you get there!"
Mu Sheng didn't think that the Mu family and the Liu family were two different families. In his heart, the Mu family and the Liu family were one family. There was no need to be polite, and Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were indeed very easy to get along with.
I’m sure his family will love them too!
"You kid, you have arranged everything well!" Wang Hua scolded with a smile, "I will help you organize it when we get there, you don't have to say that!"
"My in-laws and grandma are also very considerate of me, and there is no need for us to refuse. If we feel sorry for ourselves, just like Xiao Sheng said, it's not the same as asking for help!"
"Grandpa, Grandpa Liu was once an old revolutionary, but later he retired from the army and returned to his hometown. You guys have something to say!"
Mu Sheng looked at the silent grandfather in the mirror and sighed slightly in his heart. After all, he still couldn't bear it. Mu Qingqian was his grandfather's biological daughter. He couldn't ask his grandfather to ignore Mu Qingqian completely, otherwise he would not be his grandfather.
!
Hearing this, Mu Zhiguo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded, "Maybe we can really get to know each other. Many of your grandfather and my comrades in arms back then have retired!"
Mu Zhiguo sighed, and then asked, "Can you tell me roughly about the situation of the Liu family? When we get there, we won't know nothing and appear rude!"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Sheng, tell me about their family situation!" Wang Hua immediately added, but he was afraid that his grandson would misunderstand, so he immediately explained, "We are not looking down on each other, nor are we trying to find out about their family backgrounds, we just want to understand.
It’s easy to find a topic!”
Mu Sheng nodded, looked ahead, and said, "Grandpa Liu has four sons in total. Uncle Liu is the eldest. He used to be the secretary of the brigade in the countryside. Later, he was transferred all the way to the capital and served as the director of a department in the Organization Department.
Second Uncle Liu and Third Uncle Liu are still in the rural county, but it is said that they have now started doing business and are doing well. My younger uncle serves as the commander of the top corps in our Beijing Military Region, and Yiyi's brothers and sisters have also been admitted to universities in the capital!"
This sounds like a good family background, and it is really not easy to reach your current position completely on your own, especially from a brigade secretary in the countryside to the organization department in the capital. How much ability does it take to be transferred from a rural area?
When they arrived in the capital, if they hadn't known that the Liu family was just a rural family, they would have really thought that the other party had some background behind it!
Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed, and the Liu family has developed such a big change. When he heard that all the children in the family were admitted to college, the old man was even more satisfied. It is not an exaggeration to say that he comes from a scholarly family!
"Unfortunately......"
"Okay, we'll be there in a minute, let's think about what we should say and what we shouldn't say!"
Wang Hua interrupted Mu Zhiguo who was trying to reminisce, and then closed her eyes to rest. She had to think carefully about what to do in the future so as not to embarrass her grandson. According to previous statements, with their current family background, the Liu family
It's considered a high ranking, but she can't resist her grandson's liking. She likes it, so she must not let others feel that they are superior. Attitude is a problem!
When Mu Sheng's car drove to Chang'an Road, Mu Dejin finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure they live here?"
The further in Mu Dejin went, the more he felt in his heart. It's not that the Liu family has been poor farmers for generations. Although they have been rising rapidly in recent years, it seems impossible to buy a house here. Even he may not be able to buy a house here.
He could afford it, because the courtyard houses here were all large-sized apartments, costing at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which made him murmur in his heart.
"Dad, I chose this place for Yiyi at the beginning. Of course it is here, otherwise you would think that the location here is excellent and it is very close to Tiananmen. Even the Forbidden City is right next to it. This is a place I chose.
Can it be false?"
"No, this Liu family is not an ordinary family. Even if there are some opportunities in recent years, if you want to buy a house here, you not only need money, but also the approval of the superiors. Are you sure?"
Mu Sheng nodded affirmatively and said meaningfully, "Dad, this is what the higher-ups agreed to, because this is the house under Yiyi's name. It's impossible for the higher-ups to disagree, and Yiyi is still influential above!"
A dark glint flashed in the eyes of Mu Dejin and Mu Zhiguo, but they also knew that it was hard to ask questions now. However, they could get some news from their son (grandson)'s words, that is, this future daughter-in-law (grandson's wife) was not simple.
The people who can be recognized by the higher-ups are definitely not simple people. It seems that they need to be more cautious!
"Grandpa, Dad, no matter what you discover or know, as long as you know that Yiyi is your future daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law, you don't have to worry about the rest. I will take care of everything!"
"It's good for you kid to know!"
Mu Dejin glanced at his son. Now he was completely sure that his future daughter-in-law was definitely not simple. Now he regretted why he didn't get to know his daughter-in-law earlier. However, he also knew his son's temperament. Even if he asked, his son might not tell.
, we have to meet sooner or later anyway, isn’t this what we have to meet?
When Mu Sheng drove the car to the Liu family compound, Mu Dejin and others looked at this antique mansion in shock. This was a real mansion, and this mansion seemed to belong to a prince in the previous dynasty.
Mansion, you can imagine how big this courtyard is. Oh my God, how much energy does this future daughter-in-law have? She actually dares to buy such a large mansion from the state. You must know that the prince's mansion is usually used as a museum for visitors.
Now it has been sold. This is not something that can be done just by talking. Even the Mu family can't do it. Mu Zhiguo and Mu Dejin looked at each other, both of them had serious faces, but now is not the time to ask.
, because they are ready to get off!
As soon as Mu Sheng got off the car, he saw Grandma Liu and others walking out of the gate. At this moment, the big red door of Liu's courtyard was wide open, as if to welcome them!
As soon as Old Mrs. Liu came out, she saw the car listening in front of her house. At a glance, she knew that it was Mu Sheng who came with his grandparents and parents. She immediately shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, father-in-law, mother-in-law,
Welcome, may everything go well on your way!"
Grandma Liu greeted her warmly as soon as she came out. Huang Lihua next to her also greeted her warmly. Old Liu and Liu Weiguo next to her were a bit unfamiliar.
Mu Sheng hurriedly took down the things from the trunk, and then ran to Grandma Liu to introduce them, "Grandma, my mother and grandma have already met. This is my father Mu Dejin, and this is my grandfather Mu Zhiguo.
!”
At this time, Grandma Liu enthusiastically pulled Wang Hua to reminisce about the past. Although the two only met once two years ago, they felt like old friends at first sight. After hearing Mu Sheng's introduction, she nodded and said hello!
"Grandma, parents, these two are Yiyi's grandparents, these two are Yiyi's parents!"
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, come in quickly, you're here as soon as you come, and it's really a waste of money to bring so many things!" Huang Lihua said, holding Wu Zhen's arm, and said as she walked, "Yiyi was also coming out.
, just because I can’t leave the kitchen now, I started preparing meals early this morning, saying that I want to cook a delicious dish for you, so don’t dislike it when the time comes!”
"How could we dislike it? I would be secretly happy at night to be able to marry such a good daughter-in-law as Yiyi!"
Wu Zhen covered her mouth and smiled, and the four men behind her were also talking and laughing. Liu Weiguo was talented in his own right. After being transferred to the capital, he had been studying in order to keep up with his peers, and he had never fallen behind. There was quite a lot of tension between the two.
There is little common language. As for Old Man Liu and Mu Zhiguo, both of whom had joined the Red Army, they became even more blushing when they talked about it. They were both recalling the difficult environment at that time and the days when they fought against Japanese invaders. When it came to emotional points,
The eyes of the two of them turned red, which made people dumbfounded!
"Grandma, mother-in-law, sit down quickly. I'll go to the back and ask Yiyi to come over. This kid wants to prepare that Buddha Jumping Over the Wall for you. He says it's an extremely delicate dish. He's been cooking it since last night. I don't know if it will work.
!”
She said she was disgusted, but in fact she was very proud at heart. Mrs. Liu immediately got into the backyard without waiting for the other party to refute! (To be continued)
