The next morning, Xue Heng sent his old mother over.
Xue’s mother and Liu Ying hurried out to greet each other, and they were so happy.
Instead, Xue Zhilan had a cold face and continued to tinker with the cucumber rack, pretending to know nothing.
Chen asked curiously: "Where are the children? Isn't it summer vacation now?"
"I went abroad for a trip." Xue's mother replied with a smile.
Liu Ying answered quickly: "I said I would come back next week or next week. It is difficult to book air tickets abroad, so I said that I can't get back home."
Chen smiled and said, "The child is so good now!"
Dad Xue brought out two dishes of snacks and greeted him: "Brother and sister, come on! This is the crab roe cake and yam cake that Master Li of the big kitchen is best known for. Try it!"
"Yo! There's something delicious!"
"It's delicious! Go and try it!"
Dad Xue shouted, "Zhilan, come and eat too."
"Hey!" Xue Zhilan had no choice but to wash his hands and come over and help get the plates and chopsticks.
His eyes flashed slightly, and his face was light and he handed a small plate to Chen.
Chen secretly glared at him and took over.
Mother Xue said enthusiastically: "This is for you."
Chen quickly smiled, "Thank you sister-in-law. Come on, you can eat too."
The old men gathered around the stone table, eating happily and chatting.
The stiff atmosphere between Xue Zhilan and his wife soon disappeared, and they returned to their original state without realizing it.
...
Three days later, Chen Shuiyu and Shanyue took their daughter to the imperial capital.
Ahu and Xiaohuzi took a bus to the airport to pick them up.
Shan You is plump than before, with a rosy face and a very good complexion. Her belly is obviously bulging, and she looks very pregnant.
Xiaohuzi smiled awkwardly and greeted them.
Ah Hu laughed and enthusiastically introduced their wedding room and wedding preparation process, and said, "Don't worry! I invited the most professional wedding company in the imperial capital to arrange it, and keep it to satisfy you."
Although Shanyue has no good feelings for Xiaohuzi, his future son-in-law, things have reached this point and can only force himself to support himself.
"Okay, they are professional, just let them arrange it."
Ahu greeted, "The car is outside! Let's go out! We don't have a car in the imperial capital. Fortunately, Sister Ling Ling borrowed a business car and also equipped with a driver."
Chen Shuiyu held her daughter and frowned: "I will live in the imperial capital in the future. How can I do without a car..."
"It's okay." Ahu smiled and said, "Xiao Huzi has already gone to learn to drive, and they have signed up! I have two cars, but they are all in the provincial capital, and the journey is too long. Uncle Xue and aunt,
My godmother also plans to buy a car for Xiaohuzi and Youyou and give them a wedding gift. The old man is so dedicated!"
After hearing this, Chen Shuiyu's face became slightly better.
"Youyou, I'll thank you very much if I see the old man later."
Shan You nodded obediently, secretly glanced at Xiao Huzi beside him, and found that he was playing with his cell phone, and his mind had already drifted away.
Chen Shuiyu also saw it and glared at him. Unexpectedly, Xiaohuzi was busy playing and had no idea.
She rolled her eyes and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, so tired! Get in the car first!"
"Yes!" Ah Hu led the way in front, "The car is over there! Come on!"
After a while, everyone got into the car in a row.
Ah Hu turned his head and wanted to talk to them, but unexpectedly he found that Shan Yue was sleeping with his head buried in the seat, while Chen Shuiyu was packing things, so he had to shut his mouth awkwardly.
Xiaohuzi in the rear lowered his voice while playing with his cell phone: "...Are you okay? The child isn't making a big fuss, right?"
"No." Shanyou whispered: "I'm pretty good."
Xiaohuzi said "Oh" and stopped talking.
Shan You drove the bus and the plane early in the morning. She worked hard with a big belly and quickly fell asleep.
The little tiger played with it on his own, and was happy to be quiet.
In the next few days, Ah Hu took his son in and out of busy preparing for the wedding.
Wang Qing and Chen Min came with Ah Hu Niang. With Chen Min’s wife and two children, as well as Wang Qing’s younger brother and family, they needed seven or eight guest rooms.
Fortunately, Xinyuan is big enough and has many rooms, so I finally lived there.
Seeing that there were too many guests, Xue Zhilan and Chen were not good enough to stay here, so they found an excuse to go back to their home.
Chen Min was very embarrassed and explained: "One room in our family is enough. The rooms are very wide and the weather is hot, so just lay it on the floor."
"Don't worry." Cheng Tianyuan said: "I cleaned several guest rooms yesterday and prepared bedding. The garden is so big, so why don't you be afraid of not having enough to live in? Don't worry."
Chen Min still felt sorry and whispered: "Ahu's cousin's family, his in-laws's family, his family, and our two relatives, and my aunt - there are too many people, so it's troublesome to prepare food."
He knew that Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling were usually very busy, so it was really hard to bother too much.
"Ayuan, why not like this. The garden is so big and beautiful, we will live there. We will go outside to solve the food. There is no shortage of restaurants and restaurants in the imperial capital."
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled and shook his head: "Ling Ling has prepared in advance. Today, the kitchen temporarily recruited three more chefs and one helper. Don't worry, five chefs and one helper, so why don't you have to worry about not having three meals to eat?"
Two days ago, I asked Lao Li to find friends to help. People in the same industry have their own circle of friends, so I quickly contacted two or three imperial capital staff to come and help.
It was a bit urgent, and the time was not long, so the other party asked for a salary twice.
Xue Ling did not bargain and agreed directly, only asking them to cooperate and make good dishes to entertain guests.
Chen Min was even more embarrassed and smiled honestly.
"I'm really troubled you guys."
Cheng Tianyuan pretended to be angry and asked, "Our friendship for several years is not as good as a few meals? As for how polite you are? When we were in the supply and marketing cooperative, we were a single aluminum lunch box at noon, and we kept cooking rice even after steaming it.
When I was carrying goods together at the wharf, I ate hard buns and drank cold water together. At that time, I had nothing, and you had never been polite to me. Now this is my own home, my own food, but you come to follow me instead.
I'm polite? Do you need to be polite in this way?"
Chen Min laughed when he heard this.
Xue Ling didn't go to work, so she threw her work to Zheng Duoduo, came home to talk to Ah Hu's mother, and chatted with her old best friend Wang Qing.
Wang Qing has not been in good health in the past two years, his face is a little bad, and his skin is slightly swollen. Maybe it is because he stayed up late to take care of the elderly, and his spirits are very poor.
"Oh... I don't know why, I can't sleep at night. I sleep for a while, wake up for a while, and occasionally lie down, I open my eyes and toss and turns until dawn. The doctor has prescribed many medicines to take, but they have no effect. In the past few days, I have not had any effect.
On the yacht, I can't sleep even more.”
Xue Ling looked at her gray hair and wrinkled corners of her eyes. When she thought of the gentle and elegant young literary girl back then, she couldn't help feeling sad for a moment.
"We are getting older every year, so we have to take good care of our health."
