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 gets cold."
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 is the slightest misunderstanding or dissatisfaction between her and him, or there is a small quarrel over disagreements, he will immediately grab her and come to Xinyuan
.
This 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 pulled her to Xinyuan,
It's nice to say that I'm coming for dinner.
Eating dinner was an excuse, but in reality it was asking her to go home and get scolded - what a bastard!
In two days, take time to come over at noon or in the evening to attend the wedding banquet and have a drink, there will be no 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 abroad?
You have lived and worked there for so many years, so 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 host one more banquet, then rest there for a few days, and then come back to work leisurely."
"Um."
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 how much it costs, just arranging for these people to stay, arrange for banquets, receptions and transportation is enough for you.
a few days.
Therefore, it is 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 like this.
It’s just that the time may be a bit tight, so Xiaoxin may have to miss some work.”
"It doesn't matter if you miss two or three days of updates."
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 as backup.
The best thing about working in new media is freedom. As long as you have an Internet connection, you won’t have to worry about what you can do.
If she is restrained instead, it means that the little girl cannot control herself well."
"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 have rarely been exposed to such occasions 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 "experienced" tone: "In the past, I only had my family, classmates and friends around me. Now I have to meet so many friends and relatives from my husband's family, and I have to learn to greet people like adults -
I feel a little uncomfortable, even scared."
Xue Xin pouted aggrievedly and asked: "Grandma, were you afraid before?"
"I'm afraid before I'm afraid."
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 getting to know these people and remembering their names and family situations is enough for me to remember them for 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 deal with 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 very well."
The ones who put more pressure on you should be his friends in the business circle."
"you do not say!"
Xue Xin whispered aggrievedly: "When I thought about having to remember so many people and so many things, I was also afraid that I would do something wrong, that my words would not be good enough, and that he would be laughed at by others. I felt very nervous."
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.
After all, girls have to get married and face a wider network of contacts and a new circle of friends.
When I married your father, I single-handedly took several large boxes of dowry and took the train south to marry him.
When we got off the bus, 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 we were almost strangers.
I was also worried and scared."
"Wow..." Xue Xin was stunned and asked: "Mom, are you too brave?"
Xue Ling smiled but said nothing.
Cheng Tianyuan explained with slight embarrassment: "Your grandfather was not in good health at that time, and I couldn't leave to pick up your mother in the Imperial Capital.
It was indeed your mother who took a green train south alone with several boxes of dowry. The road was bumpy for several days and nights to marry me, a semi-stranger, in a place that was almost completely unfamiliar to her.
Your grandparents are not here, all of them 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?"
"Don't tell me anymore?"
Xue Ling explained with a smile: "Response openly and confidently.
Be sweeter in your mouth, be more humble in your attitude, ask if you don't understand, don't be afraid of making mistakes, correct them if you make mistakes, learn little by little, and you will be able to do well 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 many of them don't even speak the same language.
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 laughing at me when they stared at me.
It’s a strange place, full of strangers, just a few, but you have to face dozens of tables at once - just thinking about it makes me go crazy!”
"It was my fault, it was my negligence."
Chen Xinzhi quickly apologized: "I will stay with you until then, translate for you carefully, introduce you, and warn them not to tease my bride."
