Chapter 198 Going to the Jian Family
The next morning, An Songyu's family split up and went their separate ways.
An Songlin and his wife carried the gifts they had prepared in advance.
I drove An Jianping's new car out early this morning.
After An Jianping and his wife carefully prepared their things, they...
I drove An Songyu's car and we went to the north.
As for Ansongxiang, who was left alone, she was not lonely either.
She took the keys to her old car, planning to invite her friends and family for a day out.
The next day, they happened to make plans to go to Hong Kong together.
The Jian family, the whole family, started tidying up early this morning.
There were even several people in the kitchen.
Aunt Jian had just finished making today's delicious soup. While letting her sister-in-law taste it, she asked:
"Judging by the time, my future in-laws should be arriving soon, right?"
Jane's mother tasted it carefully and gave her sister-in-law a thumbs up.
But she still whispered a reminder:
"Their family name is An, and Tzuyu's girlfriend is named An Songyu."
"The two have known each other since high school and started dating when they went to college."
"Now that the two families are exchanging New Year's greetings, it's a natural progression."
"But this matter hasn't been formally discussed yet, so please don't call us future in-laws when we meet later!"
"I know, I know!" Aunt Jian wasn't so ignorant as to not understand such a simple thing.
While picking the tender heart of the vegetable, she asked:
"I heard his family came from the village that was demolished in Rongdi last year?"
"Will their family be entitled to any compensation during the demolition and redevelopment?"
Jane's mother looked helplessly at her sister-in-law.
Is it appropriate to discuss this now, at a time like this?
Aunt Jian also realized what was happening.
Getting an answer or not getting an answer seems to be the same thing.
She quickly made a pulling motion with her mouth to indicate that she wouldn't ask any more questions.
Just then, Jian Ziyu's voice came from outside:
"Mom, Ayu and the others have arrived and are parking outside. I'm going down to pick them up now."
"Have we arrived yet? Then tell your dad and your brother!" Mrs. Jian raised her voice and gave the order, then quickly added:
"Then I'll go change my clothes too. I'll leave the kitchen to you, little sister!"
"Hurry up and go, hurry up! I'll be fine here today!" You know, this is to prevent the future daughter-in-law from being watched by onlookers.
Many members of their family wanted to come, but none of them could!
It was only because of her culinary skills that she was given special permission.
Aunt Jian is still waiting to meet her future nephew's wife so she can tell the rest of the family about her!
I heard she's beautiful and smart.
A student of Nanjing University!
The two were a couple during their school days.
Just listening to it is incredibly satisfying!
Just as An Songyu and the other two unloaded their belongings from the car, the Jian family arrived.
Since they had already met once in the first year of junior high school, Jian's father and An Jianping started chatting as soon as they met.
Chien Tzu-yu introduced his girlfriend and her mother to his brother, and then quickly took the things from their hands.
I walked upstairs with the mother and daughter, who were holding hands.
The Jian family's workplace was a government agency under Shuncheng County, and one of the units responsible for building urban infrastructure.
The residential area where we live is not particularly large.
However, it was clearly more spacious and had larger floor areas than the residential buildings in the textile district.
When the three members of the An family were led upstairs, they only saw the Jian family and an aunt who had come to help.
According to the Jian family, Aunt Jian is the best cook in their family.
Today is the first time the An family has come over, and I want to invite them to try the food.
Although Aunt Jian spoke politely, when lunchtime arrived, all three members of the An family looked at her with admiration.
This is even better than Chef Jiangcun's cooking.
There was such a person in Jiangcun back then.
I reckon the delicious food alone will be enough to make the farmhouse restaurant famous.
It's a pity that even Jiangcun Village no longer exists.
Both sides wanted to leave a good impression on each other.
This meeting felt just like being at home.
Everyone was chatting casually, but no one mentioned the two children.
It's not that the two families aren't in a hurry!
It's not that neither family wants to.
Before the two families met, An Songyu and An Songyu had repeatedly given them instructions.
They are willing to let each other's parents meet.
The intention was to reassure the other party and their parents.
But the young couple has their own plans regarding marriage!
So, in such a friendly atmosphere, the two simply discussed their departure time for tomorrow.
The second exchange between the two families was successfully completed.
On the way back, Bi Lizhu was no longer in a hurry. "That's how it should be. The two parties can establish a relationship first, but there's no need to rush into marriage."
An Songyu found it somewhat amusing; who was it that kept urging her back then?
“The Jian family seems quite easy to get along with,” An Jianping added.
Chien Tzu-yu's older brother and sister were also with us today.
They are neither too young nor too old to Chien Tzu-yu.
Their families also came today.
Overall, they don't seem too difficult to get along with.
Bi Lizhu, however, was not in such a hurry to draw a conclusion.
Although she felt that the Jian family members should be easy to get along with, she wasn't so sure that they were easy to get along with.
After all, it's about how people interact with each other.
It depends not only on fate, but also on not having too many expectations beforehand.
After all, no one is perfect.
Setting expectations too high can actually lead to greater disappointment.
It's better not to expect anything at all.
Everything I gained was a pleasant surprise.
An Songyu listened quietly to her parents' opinions.
When they returned, they discovered that An Songlin, An Songxiang, and the other two were already waiting for them.
An Songyu noticed that the three of them seemed to have a lot of questions to ask.
She quickly took out the food she had brought back from the Jian family and stuffed it into their hands.
"What is this?" An Songxiang asked, puzzled.
She did recognize this thing.
But nowadays it seems that very few companies still use it!
"A snack box! The Jian family prepared it specially." An Jianping and his companion, who had also received many return gifts, answered as they entered the house.
Right there, there was a knock on the door.
An Songlin quickly opened the door and saw his neighbor looking curiously into the house.
Upon seeing An Jianping and his wife, he immediately asked:
"Jianping, Lizhu, I heard you went to the second sister's boyfriend's house today?"
"So, how was that family? Were they easy to get along with?"
Bi Lizhu glanced at the people asking her questions and lost interest.
Since the Jiang family's house was demolished, everyone in the residential area has been paying special attention to the marriage prospects of their two daughters.
Especially the second daughter, who has been helping to manage everything at home.
Even though she brought her boyfriend, she came in and out more than once.
There are always people who hope that the two young people won't have a good outcome.
Otherwise, Bi Lizhu wouldn't have been in such a hurry to urge her second daughter.
I heard that the two families have started visiting each other during this year's Chinese New Year.
The number of people in the entire residential compound who paid attention to it increased even more.
As soon as the Jian family left in the first year of junior high school, countless people began to inquire about them, both openly and secretly.
Even the things they carried upstairs were the subject of much speculation.
I saw them coming back from the Jian family's house today.
And then the people asking about it came again!
