Chapter 7
The engagement process was even faster than Chi Yunyi had imagined. One weekend, when she didn't have to go to work, she was lying on the sofa, bored and memorizing some knowledge points. Chi Yunshan peeled an apple and ate it while watching TV.
Chi Yunyi was so absorbed in the variety show plot that her recitation gradually faded. Chi Yunshan glanced over and saw that the girl whose energy had been drained by studying had regained her energy and was now engrossed in the show.
He ate one strawberry after another, laughing as he did so. Like a fool.
Chi Yunyi wanted to stretch her legs, but the two sisters were sitting close to each other and there was only so much space. As soon as she stretched out her legs, a pair of feet suddenly appeared on Chi Yunshan's legs. Chi Yunshan slapped them away with her big hands.
After being beaten, Chi Yunyi touched her feet, eager to try again. Seeing a layer of fat on Chi Yunshan's belly, she stretched her legs again and slowly moved closer. After her big toe and second toe were firmly clamped, she suddenly exerted force.
Liang Qian carried a bowl of bird's nest over and suddenly heard her eldest daughter scream, which scared her. Then her second daughter laughed so hard that she was out of breath and was pinned to the sofa and beaten by her sister.
"Mom, mom, look, my sister hit me!"
"Mom, your daughter bullied me. She pinched my stomach. She even wanted me to hold her feet while watching TV!"
Liang Qian was immediately overwhelmed. The two sisters had been fighting since they were little, and now, in their twenties, they were still acting like children. Shanshan was calm and honest, never actively causing trouble, while Yiyi was lively and active, always the one to stir up trouble. She never learned her lesson from being spanked by her sister, and once the scars healed, she forgot the pain.
"Nonsense, I didn't twist it, that's called caressing, I touched it because I thought it was cute. If you don't believe me, ask mom, mom, is the fat on my sister's belly cute?" She stretched out her legs to herself and let her sister hold them so that she would keep silent.
Liang Qian didn't want to cause trouble, so she took the bird's nest and went somewhere else to eat.
"See? Mom is ignoring you."
Chi Yunyi yelled, "Mom, do you have another daughter?"
As soon as she finished shouting, her mouth was covered. Chi Yunshan said: "Behave yourself. When Xiang Yu and his family come over later, even if you act like this in front of me, you have to act mature in front of them."
Chi Yunyi snorted, "I know, let me go quickly, or I will let Dad punish you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the butt.
Chi Yunshan sat back in her original seat and used the remote control to find her favorite TV series.
Chi Yunyi adjusted her hair and remained motionless. When she was not paying attention, she snatched the remote control away with lightning speed. Then, she and Chi Yunshan ran around the house madly, laughing as they ran, looking like a villain who had succeeded.
When the two sisters are at home at the same time, the house is never peaceful.
Liang Qian called her husband and said, "Hubby, listen to them."
Chi Youkun listened to the noise on the phone and said with a smile, "I'll be home soon. Just hold on a little longer."
Liang Qian took another look at the living room and couldn't bear to look at it.
After a while, Chi Youkun came back. The two sisters had finished their fight and were sitting on opposite ends of the sofa, ignoring each other. Chi Youkun had just sat down and before he could say anything, Chi Yunyi called him, "Dad, peel some lychees for me."
“…”
Her future in-laws were coming to visit her this afternoon, but she didn't seem nervous at all. She could argue with her sister and order her father around to peel lychees.
Chi Youkun peeled the lychees and said as he did so, "Yiyi, Ah Yu and his family will be here this afternoon. Your mother and I will be here with you. Just tell us what you want. We should take this opportunity to ask for what we should ask for. Don't worry, we can afford the return gift."
"I think the time is almost up. Why don't you send a message to Xiang Yu and ask where they are?"
"OK."
【Ignore me: send location】
X1Y: Positioning
Chi Yunyi showed it to her father. Chi Yunshan also came forward to see it, and Chi Yunyi put the phone to her face to show her. Mingming had just received a severe beating and was still holding back his anger, but seeing Chi Yunshan's face and the phone make such close contact, all his anger disappeared.
Chi Yunshan gave her a look and grabbed a handful of lychees, "Peel them for me."
Chi Yunyi continued to order her father, "Dad, hurry up, your eldest daughter also wants to eat lychees, peel one more."
Chi Youkun: “…”
Chi Yunshan looked at her father, but her father didn't dare to answer.
"Chi Yunyi." Chi Yunshan continued to release pressure.
The doorbell suddenly rang. Chi Yunyi said, "I'll go open the door."
As soon as the door was opened, Xiang Huatian, Chun'an, Xiang Yu and others were carrying bags of things. Behind them were secretaries and drivers, who were also carrying things in their hands. The gifts they brought were almost blocking the door.
Chi Yunyi: "Hi, hello uncle and auntie, come in."
Liang Qian and Chi Youkun stood up and invited them to take a seat.
The purpose of the meeting between the parents of both parties was to understand each other's wedding customs, determine the betrothal gifts and hardware, determine the engagement date, the expected time to obtain the marriage certificate, the number of weddings to be held, where to hold them, and various etiquette that need to be prepared before the wedding.
There were many things Chi Yunyi didn't quite understand, and she wasn't particularly concerned about them. She left it entirely to Chi Youkun and Liang Qian to handle. She only spoke when asked.
Chi Youkun was very satisfied with the Xiang family's sincerity.
In front of Chi's parents, Xiang Yu was as reserved as before. Chi Yunyi sat close to him and poked him, "Are you nervous?"
"No."
Chi Yunyi held his hand, sweating, and looked at him with an understanding look, "Yeah, I'm not nervous."
"They said the property is all in my name, not yours."
"Um."
"They even gave me several kilograms of gold jewelry, but you have nothing."
"Um."
Xiang Yu nodded and mumbled, and Chi Yunyi took out a tissue and stuffed it into his hand. "I heard that boys who sweat a lot on their palms tend to have weak kidneys."
Xiang Yu: “…”
Chi Yunyi noticed some details, for example, up to now, Xu Chunan had been the one speaking at the Xiang family, and Xiang Huatian echoed his wife. When his wife said, "Ayu's father and I...", Xiang Huatian nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, that's right."
This shows that Ms. Xu Chunan should be the one who has the final say in this family.
Xiang Yu was idle anyway, so Chi Yunyi grabbed a handful of lychees and gave them to him. Xiang Yu said, "I don't want to eat them."
"You're overthinking it. Peel it for me to eat."
“…”
After some discussion, the engagement date was set as the sixth day of next month, and the marriage certificate date was set as the ninth day.
Generally speaking, you can live together after getting engaged. Especially after getting married, you can live together with your marriage certificate. However, people in the north of the city are not as open-minded as here, and they believe that the woman should move to the man's city.
When discussing the issue of where to stay in the two cities, the two parents had a slight disagreement. In the end, Xiang Yu himself said, "I was born in the North City, but grew up in the South City. My wife, friends, and brothers who started the business with me are all here. I prefer to stay in the South City."
Xiang Huatian: “…”
It was a pity that he had spent so much effort to lay the groundwork, hoping to gain some benefits for his son. But when Xiang Yu came to him, he tore it down in one fell swoop.
Chi Youkun was satisfied with Xiang Yu's attitude. "Then do as A Yu says."
After returning home, Xiang Huatian complained to his wife, "We've made such big concessions. The house and car are all in their name, and in the end we still have to give our son to them."
Xu Chunan scooped a spoonful of makeup remover cream and said, "It was your son who asked for it. What's the point of telling me? Go tell your son."
"I get angry when you mention this. I've never seen someone personally sabotage his father in front of everyone."
Xu Chunan was removing her makeup when Xiang Huatian kept whispering in her ear, "Ayu and his girlfriend have been close since they were young. Were they already together before this? While we were discussing something, they were whispering to each other. Do you think our son just doesn't want to return to North City? Is he being bewitched by his girlfriend?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his wife slapped him and said, "Shut up, you bastard! You're not done yet."
His face was greasy, and Xu Chunan's makeup had dissolved in it, and all of it was on his face. Xiang Huatian, mysophobia had struck, and he hurriedly washed his face. He heard his wife continue:
"Do you think I don't want Ayu to go back? It's him who doesn't want to go back. The child isn't close to us, what can we do? Just let him be happy. Just look at your mouth. If people hear what you said tonight, do you think he will still be willing to marry his daughter to us? I warn you, don't make trouble for Ayu."
Xu Chunan was still not satisfied, so he came back and slapped Xiang Huatian several times.
Xiang Huatian, who was beaten and scolded for just complaining a few times: "..."
-
Chi Yunyi clamored to eat hotpot in the evening, so Xiang Yu came to eat with her.
It was hot, so Xiang Yu took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves, ready to work on his muscles. Chi Yunyi noticed the distinct muscle lines in his forearms, and the veins in his hands extended upwards, giving him a sense of both strength and beauty.
But Xiang Yu didn't look like someone who had been working out for six or seven years. He was rather thin overall, without the exaggerated chest muscles of someone who had been well-trained.
"What are you looking at?" Xiang Yu looked up and saw her puffing out her chest and taking a breath. She lowered her head to look at herself, then raised her head and stared at his chest. Finally, she pouted and showed off.
"nothing."
When asked in chat, "You haven't been live streaming recently?"
"I'm busy with work, and I haven't finished memorizing the material Professor Zeng gave me last time."
Chi Yunyi loves hotpot. As she ate the vegetables and meat in her bowl, her skin became porcelain-white under the light. Her two big eyes narrowed in happiness at the delicious meal. She gave a thumbs-up and said, "I'll come to this restaurant again next time!"
Xiang Yu's eyes were deep. He took a sip of cold beer and looked away.
When I got home in the evening, the platform sent me a live broadcast reminder.
Xiang Yu clicked on it and turned up the volume.
"Hello hello good evening everyone."
"Today, no jokes," Chi Yunyi took out the recitation materials, slammed the table, and said with a stiff face, "Today, study."
[Yi Zong has started broadcasting, welcome the return of the disappeared population. 】
【Finally started live streaming, I missed you so much】
What has Mr. Yi been doing recently?
"Going to work, going to work every day, I've had enough of this class. See? This is a thick stack of information that I have to memorize. I have to review and recite it tomorrow at work."
Chi Yunyi brought over a bucket of instant noodles and said, "If you think Mr. Yi can finish memorizing all of this today, you'll get 1 point. If you can't, you'll get 2 points."
Comment sections 111 and 222 began to flood the screen.
Xiang Yu presented 5 carnivals.
"Thanks to the top brother on the list for sending me the five carnivals!" The ID name is quite familiar, it is 11111Y.
Then she noticed that her elder brother posted a comment:
Chi Yunyi: “…”
