The next morning, Xue Heng sent his old mother over.
Mother Xue and Liu Ying hurried out to greet them. They were a sister and a sister, and they were very happy.
Instead, Xue Zhilan kept tinkering with the cucumber stand with a cold face, pretending not to know anything.
Chen asked curiously: "Where are the children?
Isn’t it summer vacation now?”
"Going to travel abroad."
Mother Xue replied with a smile.
Liu Ying answered quickly: "I said I would come back next week or the week after.
It’s hard to book air tickets abroad, and it’s impossible to book a return trip.”
Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "The children today are so good!"
Father Xue brought out two plates of snacks and called out: "Brothers and sisters, come on, come on! These are the crab cakes and yam cakes that Master Li from the big kitchen is best at.
Try it quickly!”
"Yo! There's something delicious!"
"It's delicious! Try it now!"
Father Xue shouted: "Zhilan, come and eat too."
"Why!"
Xue Zhilan had no choice but to wash his hands and come over to help get the plates and chopsticks.
His eyes flashed slightly, and his face was solemn as he handed a small plate to Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen glanced at him secretly and took the hand.
Mother Xue said enthusiastically: "This is for you."
Mrs. Chen quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law.
Come, you can eat too."
All the old people gathered around the stone table, happily eating and chatting.
The stiff atmosphere between Xue Zhilan and his wife soon disappeared, and it returned to its original state without realizing it.
...... Three days later, Chen Shuiyu and Shan Yue took their daughter to the imperial capital.
Ahu and Xiaohuzi took a car to pick them up at the airport.
Shanyou is plumper than before, her face is rosy, her complexion is very good, her belly is obviously swollen, and she looks very pregnant.
Xiao Huzi smiled awkwardly and greeted them.
Ahu smiled and enthusiastically introduced their wedding room and the wedding preparation process, saying: "Don't worry! We hired the most professional wedding company in the capital to arrange it, and we will keep it to your satisfaction."
Although Shanyue didn't have a good impression of Xiao Huzi, his future son-in-law, things had reached this point and he could only hold on to his spirits.
"Okay, I'm a professional, just let them arrange it."
Ahu greeted: "The car is outside! Let's go out! We don't have a car in Di. Fortunately, sister-in-law Lingling borrowed a commercial car and had a driver."
Chen Shuiyu held her daughter in hand and frowned in disgust: "I will live in the imperial capital from now on. How can I get along without a car..." "It's okay."
Ahu said with a smile: "Little Huzi has already gone to learn to drive, and he has signed up! I have two cars, but they are both over there in the provincial capital, and it is too far to drive here.
Uncle Xue, Aunt Xue, and my godmother plan to buy a car for Xiao Huzi and Youyou as a wedding gift.
The old man is so caring!"
After hearing this, Chen Shuiyu's face became slightly better.
"Yuyou, I have to thank the old man properly when I see him later."
Shan You nodded obediently, and secretly glanced at Xiao Huzi beside him, and found that he was playing with his mobile phone, his mind already far away.
Chen Shuiyu also saw it and glared angrily. Unexpectedly, the little tiger was busy playing and didn't even know.
She rolled her eyes and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I'm exhausted! Get in the car first!"
"Yep!"
Ahu led the way, "The car is over there! Come on, come on!"
After a while, everyone filed into the car.
Ahu turned his head, intending to talk to them, but unexpectedly found Shanyue asleep on the seat, while Chen Shuiyu had her head buried in packing things, so she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
The little tiger in the back was playing with his mobile phone and lowered his voice: "...are you okay?
Is the child making any fuss?"
"without."
Shan You whispered: "Very well-behaved."
Xiao Huzi said "Oh" and then stopped talking.
Shan You had to catch a car and a flight early in the morning. It was a bit hard with a big belly, so he quickly fell asleep.
The little tiger child was playing by himself, enjoying himself in peace and quiet.
In the next few days, Ahu and his son ran in and out busy preparing for the wedding.
Wang Qing and Chen Min came with Ahu Niang, plus Chen Min's wife and two children, as well as Wang Qing's brother and his family, they needed seven or eight guest rooms.
Fortunately, Xinyuan was big enough and had many rooms, so I was able to stay there.
Seeing too many guests, Xue Zhilan and Chen couldn't stay here any longer, so they found an excuse to go back to their homes.
Chen Min was very embarrassed and explained: "One room is enough for our family.
The rooms are very wide and the weather is hot, so we can just lay them on the floor."
"Don't worry."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Several guest rooms were cleaned yesterday, and bedding was also prepared.
The garden is so big, if you don’t have to worry about not being enough to live in, don’t worry.”
Chen Min still felt sorry and whispered: "Cousin Ahu's family, plus my in-laws Shanyue's family, our two relatives, plus my aunt - there are too many people, and it is troublesome to prepare food."
He knew that Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling were usually very busy and it was not easy to disturb them too much.
"Ayuan, how about this?
The garden is so big and beautiful, so we can take advantage of it and live in it.
We will take care of the food outside ourselves. In a place as big as the Imperial Capital, there is no shortage of eateries and eateries."
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled and shook his head: "Ling Ling has already prepared in advance. The big kitchen will temporarily recruit three more chefs and a helper today.
Don’t worry, with five chefs and one helper, there’s no need to worry about not having three meals a day.”
Two days ago, I asked Lao Li to find friends to help. People in the same industry have their own circles of friends, and he quickly contacted two or three guys from the Imperial City to come and help.
It was a bit urgent, and the time was short, so the other party asked for twice the salary.
Xue Ling agreed directly without negotiating the price. He only asked them to cooperate and make good dishes to entertain the guests.
Chen Min was even more embarrassed and smiled honestly.
"Come here...it's too troublesome for you."
Cheng Tianyuan pretended to be angry and asked: "Our friendship for several years is not worth a few meals?
As for being polite like this?
When we were in the supply and marketing cooperative, each of us had an aluminum lunch box at noon, and we steamed and cooked rice to make it hotter.
When we were carrying goods together at the dock, we ate hard steamed buns and drank cold water together.
I had nothing at that time and you were not polite to me.
Now this is my own home, my own food, and you are being polite to me?
Do you need to be polite like this?"
Chen Min laughed when he heard this.
Xue Ling did not go to work and left the work to Zheng Duoduo. He went home to talk to Ahu Niang and chat with his old best friend Wang Qing.
Wang Qing's health has not been very good in the past two years, his complexion is a little bad, and his skin is slightly swollen. It may be because he stayed up late to take care of the elderly, and his spirit seems to be very poor.
"Oh...I don't know what's wrong, I always can't sleep at night.
He would sleep for a while, wake up for a while, and occasionally lie down, then open his eyes and toss and turn until dawn.
The doctor prescribed many medicines, but they had no effect.
I have been on the yacht these past few days, wandering around, and even more unable to sleep."
Xue Ling looked at her graying hair and wrinkled eyes, thinking of the gentle and delicate young artistic woman back then, and couldn't help but feel a little sad for a moment.
"We are getting older every year, so we have to take good care of our health."
