Chen Wende was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of blue trousers. The creases on the trousers were very new, and it was obvious that they were new.

He stood in front of the mirror, wet the comb made by Che Jinmei with water, combed his hair, and tidied himself up and down again. Then he pushed the cart borrowed from the party secretary's house towards the village entrance.

He first went to the supply and marketing cooperative and spent a huge amount of money to buy a bag of candy and two boxes of Taoqi cakes. Four of the ten yuan Che Jinmei gave him had already been spent.

After thinking about it, he took out another 4 yuan and bought a pair of bottles of wine.

This gift, not to mention the first visit in the countryside, would be considered impressive even if one were to propose marriage in the city.

After hanging the things on the car, he took a deep breath and headed towards the Chi family.

Chi Suzhen had been waiting on the path outside the door early in the morning. When she saw Chen Wende coming as promised, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Wende, you're here~"

Chen Wende knew that Chi Suzhen's family was well-off, her brother and sister-in-law both had formal jobs, and she even had an uncle who had served as a Red Guard in the town.

Although he is aloof, he feels somewhat inferior because his parents' family is much worse than Chi Suzhen's.

"Well, when did I break my promise? If I say I will come, I will definitely come." Chen Wende said softly.

Chi Suzhen followed him and whispered, "Wende, my uncle and aunt know that you are coming today, so they also came to my house. If they say something unpleasant later, please bear with it.

My dad is a very face-conscious person, so you must not embarrass him. If there is anything, can we talk about it in private after the guests leave? ”

When Chi Suzhen said this, Chen Wende felt a little depressed.

"Didn't you say it was just your family? How come your uncle's family and your aunt's family are here too?"

Chi Suzhen said helplessly, "It's all my mom's fault. She's a big mouth and accidentally let something slip. Everyone is curious about you, so they made it a bit more formal."

"Enough, let's not talk too much, hurry in, everyone is here and we are waiting for you."

They had already reached the door, and Chen Wende had no other choice but to bite the bullet and follow Chi Suzhen into the house.

A sister-in-law came out with a basket, looked Chen Wende up and down, and said to Chi Suzhen, "Hey, Suzhen, this is your partner?"

Chen Wende really didn't like this feeling. It was as if someone was estimating his worth and measuring his weight.

Chi Suzhen was very happy, "Yes, Aunt Dong, are you going out?"

"Well, let's go buy some groceries."

The woman answered, then looked at Chen Wende and said, "You are a very fair-skinned boy."

Chen Wende suppressed the discomfort in his heart, forced a smile and nodded towards the other party as a greeting.

When we entered the Chi family's house, we found it noisy.

"Dad, Mom, Wende is here." Seeing that no one noticed them, Ji Suzhen spoke quickly.

Father Chi turned his head and took a look. "Oh, here you are."

Mother Chi did not stand up. She sat on the stool and called out to Chen Wende and the others, "Come and sit down."

Chen Wende awkwardly stepped forward with the things in his hand, put them on the table, and forced a smile, "Hello, uncle and aunt, I should have come to see you a long time ago. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Chi Suzhen quickly introduced, "Uncle and aunt, aunt and uncle, this is Wende, and I'm right behind.

Wende, this is my uncle and aunt, this is my mom and dad, and those are my uncle and aunt. ”

Aunt Chi looked Chen Wende up and down and said politely, "Come and sit down and talk. You look quite energetic. I heard that you are also a college student?"
