Han Caiying sat down and took the initiative to reveal her identity, "My Bingbing is your Chen Fan's girlfriend. They have been dating for more than a year in college. They were in love before and never told their families. We are traveling this time.
, I just happened to pass by here, so I came to visit.”
"Since two people are in love, they will get married sooner or later, so I will come over and meet you."
When Han Caiying explained clearly, Mr. and Mrs. Chen completely understood.
I see.
But they didn't know about it before, and Chen Fan never mentioned this child to his family!
How can we let other girls come to our door? We shouldn't go to their homes. It's so rude.
Lao Chen stood up and apologized profusely, "I'm really sorry. We didn't do a good job."
"This etiquette has been reversed, so please forgive me."
"Yeah, he didn't tell us about it. It's really a neglect. It's all our fault. We didn't do a good job." Chen Fan's mother also apologized.
The humble attitude of the two in-laws made Han Caiying feel a little embarrassed. Zuo Bing came out to smooth things over and said, "Don't be like this, aunt and uncle. I didn't let him say it before."
"I don't blame you or Chen Fan for this. My mother and I were just passing by and came to see you two old people. Don't mind."
Lao Chen suddenly understood, "It's good if you come, if you come, that's it. You guys stay here for the night. I'll go get a fish from the pond. Mother, you go kill a chicken and get a few kilograms of beef."
Zuo Bing was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, don't go busy, we'll sit down and leave."
"Hey, how can that be done? You come so far away, how can you sit down for a while and then leave?"
"Sleep here tonight. There is a bed and quilt at home."
Seeing how polite they were, Han Caiying quickly said, "There's no need to sleep, we've booked a hotel."
"You don't have to work too much. We can just sit down and chat. We have met each other and will often communicate with each other in the future."
"That's fine, I'll go get some things, and you stay with them at home. Make sure they stay for dinner before leaving."
Lao Chen walked out to get ready. Chen Fan's mother chased him out and called out to her husband, "Can you please confirm with your son how many red envelopes are appropriate to give to someone who comes to visit you for the first time?"
Old Chen said he understood.
According to local customs, when a woman comes to visit her and the relationship is confirmed, she must give her a red envelope.
Lao Chen went to work, and Chen Fan's mother stayed to accompany her mother and daughter.
I heard that Zuo Bing was from Jiangzhou and his family was relatively wealthy, so the two of them had been dating since school.
Chen Fan's mother kept scolding her son for being ignorant and not telling her family about such a big thing.
She repeatedly stated that she and Lao Chen would go to Jiangzhou to visit them in the future.
Han Caiying had no problem with her attitude toward Lao Chen's family. Although they were from the countryside, they knew all the etiquette they should know.
On the contrary, it made Zuo Bing feel embarrassed because my mother was too abrupt today.
In the evening, Lao Chen killed chickens and fish, and received the mother and daughter according to the most solemn custom in the countryside. After eating, they sat for a while before Han Caiying said goodbye.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen immediately took the gifts they had prepared and took out two big red envelopes.
One is twenty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, and the other is ten thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight.
Zuo Bing quickly refused, but Lao Chen and his wife insisted on giving it to them, saying it was a rule, so Han Caiying and her daughter accepted it.
Later, Mr. and Mrs. Chen insisted on sending them back to the hotel, saying that according to etiquette, they should open the room and provide the best hospitality.
Han Caiying still refused. The etiquette was in place and she was too embarrassed to disturb him too much.
The mother and daughter got in the car and left. Old Chen and his wife were still standing there, shaking their heads, "Oh, how embarrassing is this child?"
