However, she didn't dare to go against her elders, so she could only secretly glare at the handsome man beside her.
Chen Xinzhi pretended not to notice, stretched out her arm to pick up her favorite crab roe dumplings, and gently put them into her bowl.
"Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it cools down."
Xue Xin gave him a blank look and still refused to pay attention to him.
This old fox does this every time! Don’t think she doesn’t know!
Whenever there was the slightest misunderstanding or dissatisfaction between her and him, or there was a minor quarrel or disagreement, he would immediately grab her and bring her to Xinyuan.
This place is obviously her natal family, and everyone has to stand by her side, but it seems that she suffers every time, and everything goes according to his wishes!
No wonder he hurriedly dragged her to Xinyuan, saying he wanted to have dinner.
Dinner was an excuse, but in reality it was just to let her go home and be scolded - what a bastard!
Xue Ling on the side smiled and suggested: "We can do it on the second or third day of the first lunar month. Everyone will still be on vacation then. It will take at most one or two days to pay New Year greetings. I can take the time to come over at noon or evening to attend the wedding banquet and have a banquet. There won't be any time."
conflict."
"Then let's go to the second grade of junior high school." Chen Xinzhi nodded hurriedly: "Listen to me, there will be nothing wrong."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and asked: "If we want to do it here, what about overseas? You have lived and worked there for so many years, and you must have many friends and business partners. Why don't you have to travel thousands of miles to let them come over?"
"No." Chen Xinzhi explained: "It's very troublesome to have so many people take a special flight and have to arrange hotel arrangements for entry and exit. I plan to take a day off after finishing my work here, and then we will fly abroad to hold another one.
Have a banquet, then rest there for a few days, and then come back to work leisurely."
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan nodded in approval: "This arrangement is quite good!"
Cheng Huanran echoed: "I think it's great too! Instead of letting so many people fly here in a hurry, not to mention the cost, just arranging for these people to stay, attend the banquet, reception and transportation is enough for you.
Several days. So, it’s better for you two protagonists to make a trip to save trouble, effort and money."
Chen Xinzhi smiled bitterly: "That's true, otherwise I wouldn't have arranged it this way. It's just that the time may be a bit tight, so Xiaoxin may have to miss some work."
"It doesn't matter if she doesn't update for two or three days." Cheng Huanran said warmly: "Everyone goes out to play during the Chinese New Year, so there will be fewer people watching videos. Moreover, she can make two or three more videos in advance for backup. It is best to do new media.
The place where you are is freedom. As long as you have the Internet, you won’t have to worry about not being able to do anything. If you are restricted instead, it’s because I can’t control it myself.”
"No..." Xue Xin frowned and whispered: "I just... think about entertaining so many guests, my scalp can't help but tingle."
Everyone laughed.
Father Xue coaxed: "You are still young, and you have rarely been exposed to such situations before, so you think so. It's okay, you have to take the first step."
"It's all like this!" Xue's mother said in a tone of "experienced": "In the past, I only had family, classmates and friends around me, but now I have to get to know so many friends and relatives from my husband's family, and I have to learn to behave like adults.
I usually go to the reception to say hello - I feel a little uncomfortable, even scared."
Xue Xin pouted aggrievedly and asked: "Grandma, were you afraid before?"
"I'm afraid of it." Xue's mother explained: "The old Xue family is a big family, with a lot of elders, cousins, brothers and sisters inside and outside. Just knowing these people, remembering their names and family situations is enough for me to remember
It took a long time."
Chen Xinzhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he secretly realized that he seemed to have overlooked the real timidity of his little wife.
It turned out that she was not too busy to spare time, nor did she want to hold a wedding banquet, but she just didn't dare to suddenly become his partner to deal with so many strangers and face a completely different social circle.
After all, she is just a little girl who has just grown up, just graduated, and just entered society.
In the past, her family had protected her closely, and her parents and elders had to handle all matters at home. Even when she grew up, there were still several brothers above her who stood in her way.
Therefore, she was worried that she would not do well and that she would not be able to cope with it, so she has been unwilling to face it.
Thinking of this, he secretly blamed himself for not being careful enough and ignoring her true feelings.
Father Xue smiled lovingly and said warmly: "It's okay, let's learn slowly! Xinzhi doesn't have many relatives, and you know them all well. The ones who put more pressure on you should be his friends in the business circle."
"Isn't that right?"
Chen Xinzhi smiled bitterly to himself and secretly scolded himself dozens of times.
Xue Ling smiled and reassured: "Don't be afraid, just deal with it openly. Girls have to get married after all, and have to face a wider network of people and a new circle of friends. When I married your father, I took care of it all by myself.
I took a train south to marry him with several large boxes of dowry. When I got off the train, everyone was a stranger. I have forgotten very few memories of my childhood. I had only met him and my future mother-in-law once before, and they were almost strangers. I was also worried.
I’ve been, I’ve been afraid.”
"Wow..." Xue Xin was stunned and asked: "Mom, are you too brave?"
Xue Ling smiled but said nothing.
Cheng Tianyuan explained with embarrassment: "Your grandfather was not in good health at the time, and I couldn't leave to pick up your mother in the imperial capital. It was indeed your mother who took the green leather train south with several boxes of dowry, and the road was bumpy for several days and nights.
Go to a place that is almost completely unfamiliar to her and marry me, a semi-stranger. Your grandparents are not here, and all the relatives in Chengjia Village are my relatives, and she doesn’t recognize any of them."
Xue Xin swallowed her saliva and asked, "Mom, how did you cope with it?"
"Aren't you going to say it?" Xue Ling explained with a smile: "Response openly and confidently. Speak sweeter, be more humble, ask questions if you don't understand, don't be afraid of making mistakes, correct them when they are wrong, learn little by little, and always
You will be able to do it one day. Take your time and don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are just a newcomer!"
Everyone laughed.
Xue Xin was thoughtful and glared at Chen Xinzhi next to her with aggrieved eyes.
"He...I don't know any of his business friends, and I don't even understand the language of many of them. I used to go abroad with him, and occasionally get together with his friends. I couldn't understand a word they talked about, and I always felt like they were being stared at.
They were laughing at me when they were looking at me. It was a strange place, full of strangers, just a few, but I had to face dozens of tables at once - it makes my scalp hairy just thinking about it!"
"It was my fault, I was negligent." Chen Xinzhi quickly apologized: "I will always accompany you, translate for you carefully, introduce you, and warn them not to tease my bride."
