After all, his daughter and son-in-law were both adults. Xue Ling gave them enough face and did not mention the incident at the dinner table.
On the contrary, Mother Xue, who always has an excellent memory, urged and asked: "Tietou, last time you said you would prepare a banquet at the end of the year - are you ready? Many relatives and friends are waiting to drink your wedding wine!"
Chen Xinzhi's brows moved slightly and he smiled gently.
"Grandma, I'm making arrangements recently. I originally planned to do it in the first month of the year, but it hasn't been decided yet."
"Hey!" Xue's father suddenly became interested and said: "This is a good time! Everyone has a holiday during the Spring Festival, and no matter how busy you are, you can come to participate! It will be lively when there are many people!"
Older people are most afraid of loneliness and wish to join in more lively occasions. They always think that the more lively the better.
Cheng Huanran asked curiously: "Can I book a hotel? Many big hotels have insufficient staff during the Chinese New Year and do not accept such large orders."
Chen Xinzhi glanced at his beloved wife beside him and explained: "There is no problem with the hotel. I have already contacted her. It's just that Xiaoxin is very busy with work and may not be able to schedule it. We need to discuss it carefully."
Xue Xin was still angry with him, so she snorted lightly and ignored him.
Except for Xue Ling, everyone else had no idea that the young couple was having an argument, but they still enthusiastically helped them with suggestions.
"What are we still discussing?" Cheng Huanran said with a smile: "If we are still busy in the first few days of the first month, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a free day or two throughout the year. That's it, we will be free by then and can give
Give me a hand."
Chen Xinzhi chuckled: "That's perfect."
When Cheng Tianyuan saw that his daughter didn't speak, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Xin, you said you are just busy at ordinary times, but you can't take a few days off during the New Year? If you don't take a break, the employees in your studio will also have to celebrate the New Year, right?"
"That's right!" Xue's mother said unceremoniously: "You have just graduated. You will have a lot of time and opportunities to make money in the future. Why are you working so hard? Our family is not short of money, and Tietou is not short of money either - not by that much.
sky!"
Forehead?
Xue Xin had just been scolded by her mother and did not dare to persist too much.
"A holiday... I definitely have to take a holiday. Then I can take turns taking turns to take some time off. It's just that I don't think it's necessary to hold a big banquet."
Everyone laughed.
Xue's father said in a loving and gentle voice: "You are still young and don't understand the ways of the world. Tietou has been in society for so many years and knows better than you. He thinks it must be done because it really has to be done."
"Yes!" Cheng Huanran said: "Favorite exchanges are not only with relatives and friends, but also mostly in business. I used to find it too troublesome, even unnecessary. In the past two years, my mother has thrown everything at me.
I just dealt with it and learned, and then I began to understand this."
Xue Xin raised her eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Brother, do you think it is necessary now?"
"I have to think so!" Cheng Huanran said with emotion and a smile: "Reality often teaches us that we must learn to be imaginary."
Xue Xin was thoughtful and didn't move the chopsticks in his hand much.
Chen Xinzhi brushed a few pieces of mutton and put them in her bowl.
Xue Xin glanced at him secretly, but still didn't want to talk to him.
Xue Ling on the side pretended not to see it and was eating by himself.
Mother Xue wiped her reading glasses and joked: "Our Xiaoxin is the youngest. She has never been asked to do the social work at home, so she doesn't understand."
"I don't understand, so I don't think it's necessary." Xue's father smiled lovingly: "Today's young people pursue themselves and always think that what they do is for themselves, otherwise it would be unnecessary."
"That's because they are still too young!" Cheng Huanran laughed loudly: "Reality will teach them how to grow up!"
Xue Xin, who had just been "severely taught" by her mother: "..."
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at his daughter with a suspicious look on his face, and asked: "Who doesn't need to treat guests to a banquet when they get married? If there are multiple sons, it is usually the eldest son who does it. Others are simpler. People who have many relatives and friends and a wide social network tend to be more extravagant. The family has an average income.
Yes, just try to do it as sparingly as possible. Tietou has a wide circle of friends and a large business, so how can he not organize such a grand event?"
"Oh." Xue Xin could only nod.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Chen Xinzhi had no choice but to coax: "If you really think it won't work this year, then just wait a little longer."
"Still late?" Cheng Huanran asked funnyly: "It's been more than half a year since you got the certificate, and you still haven't invited me to a banquet? It doesn't make sense!"
Mother Xue gnawed on the corn and raised her head: "What are you waiting for? The longer you delay, the harder it will be to get done! Now you don't have to buy things to prepare more than a dozen tables of meals for guests. Isn't it just to entertain the guests? Isn't it too laborious?"
"Haha!" Xue's father joked: "I think when we got married, even if we had some money in our pockets, we couldn't buy whatever we wanted. At that time, supplies were very poor, and most people only had a little money.
The wedding candy was enough. I ran a few streets and went to the non-staple food market twice, and finally bought a few vegetables and two pieces of meat. I had to make dishes and run around looking for customers. It took me a full day.
, after the guests leave, we have to clean up the mess ourselves and clean up until midnight. Now you let the hotel do everything, and you have the nerve to find it hard to do something with just a few clicks on your mobile phone?"
"What's wrong with today's young people!" Xue's mother muttered: "I don't know what to think! I can lie on the sofa with my phone in hand for an hour or two without moving, and then turn around and yell that I'm very busy!"
Xue Xin blushed and did not dare to refute.
Chen Xinzhi also didn't dare to intervene.
Cheng Huanran seemed to be very excited, and suggested: "How about - just do it in the garden? It will be similar to the way it was when the second child got married?"
"The place is probably not big enough." Chen Xinzhi explained: "I want to make it more formal and invite more guests."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement: "It is indeed not big enough. It is too cold outside in winter, so this proposal is not advisable."
"Then we can only go to big hotels!" Cheng Huanran said.
Mother Xue concluded: "You can either take advantage of this Chinese New Year to do it and put it off again and again. In the future, everything will be delayed for a while. If you delay it any longer, it will not be done. You are all free now. Wait until next year and the year after.
If you have a baby, you will definitely be busier. Now both of you are just busy with work. The old man doesn’t need you, and he doesn’t have a baby yet. If you are too busy now, then forget about the future!"
"Yes." Xue's father agreed: "Hurry up and do it during the Chinese New Year."
Cheng Huanran had already made arrangements and said: "Brother Tietou, I have a list of relatives and friends in our home on my phone. I will send it to you when the time comes, with their phone numbers and addresses. You can also send it to your assistant to send out invitations.
.”
"Hey." Chen Xinzhi smiled: "That's great!"
Xue Xin found that she just didn't speak for a while, and these people had already decided the matter through talking.
