Chapter 204 Engagement 03
Luo Chunhua was so busy the whole afternoon that when she returned home again, smoke was rising from the chimney of her house.
Zhang's mother left for something when she was halfway through her shopping, so she was left alone to buy gifts.
"Mom, why did you buy so many things?" Jiang Chen had just come out to get firewood when he saw his mother-in-law pushing a bicycle in. There were many net bags hanging on the bicycle. It was obvious that she had walked back. "Why didn't you ask us to go with you? You must be tired. Give it to me."
Luo Chunhua didn't bother to be polite with Jiang Chen. "Okay, push it to the front of the main room. I'll put the things on the table." She directly handed him the handlebars of the bicycle.
Looking at the net bags that each contained the same things, Jiang Chen knew that these things were bought for their engagement.
"Mom, next time you go shopping, ask me to come with you. I don't know what to buy, but I can still pick up some things."
"Okay, I'll take you with me next time." Luo Chunhua was very happy and couldn't hide the smile on her face. Her daughter had good vision and found a filial son-in-law.
After a busy day, Luo Chunhua was tired but very happy.
When she got home, her daughter had prepared dinner, which made her feel even more relieved and satisfied.
After putting all the things in the main room, Luo Chunhua did not go to the kitchen to help Bai Jing. Instead, she tidied up the things and asked Quanfu to follow her to deliver the gifts later.
Bai Jing naturally heard the noise outside. Seeing Jiang Chen come in, she immediately asked, "Is mother back?"
"Well, Mom bought a lot of things. Xiaojing, let's go get some money tomorrow." He only brought eight cakes to the house. For the engagement, the betrothal gift should be decided, so he also had to prepare it.
Everyone else has three turns and one ring, and his little Jing can't be missing either.
Bai Jing didn't think it was necessary, but seeing how happy he was, she didn't want to spoil his fun. "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Jiang Chen gave all his money to her, so if he needed big money, he would have to take it from her.
"But don't exaggerate too much. It won't be good if you scare my parents." She also understood what he was going to do with the money. She was happy that he cared about her, but she couldn't be too exaggerated.
Jiang Chen smiled, walked over and touched the top of her head, and said, "Okay, don't scare me, but you can't be worse than others."
The children at home come home earlier from school than from get off work.
When Bai Ling came back with her younger siblings, she saw her elder sister busy at work. Bai Ling's eyes lit up, "Elder sister."
Bai Jing and Bai Yong, who were still throwing a tantrum in the back, immediately ran over when they heard this. "Sister is back?" they asked in unison.
Bai Jing stopped and said, "It's time to go home from school. Put your schoolbag away, wash your hands and have dinner." Bai Jing was very happy to see her younger brothers and sisters. She hadn't seen them for some time.
At this moment, Jiang Chen also came out of the kitchen with the last two dishes and saw three children surrounding Bai Jing.
His appearance naturally alarmed the three people who were happily surrounding their eldest sister. "Sister, who is this? Is he a guest in our house?" The little girl Bai Jing became a little nervous when she saw a stranger. She immediately hid behind her eldest sister and asked timidly.
Bai Jing touched her head and said, "This is Brother Jiang Chen, your eldest sister's boyfriend. What do you think? I think your eldest sister has good taste." Then she introduced Jiang Chen to them proudly like a peacock.
Jiang Chen looked at Bai Jing with eyes full of doting. After hearing her introduction to himself, Jiang Chen felt very satisfied.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Chen, you can call me brother-in-law." Jiang Chen also generously introduced himself to the three people, but with the bowl of food in his hand, it was not easy to get close to them.
Bai Yong wrinkled his nose and said, "Brother-in-law, are you married to my eldest sister?" He was not a child anymore. If his eldest sister got married, would she not be able to live at home in the future?
No, he doesn't want his eldest sister to leave.
The little fellow's eyes were red, and his voice began to choke up. "Sister, please don't get married."
Although she didn't know what was wrong with him, Bai Jing didn't agree with him. "Why? Whether it's the eldest sister, your second sister, or your third sister, they will all get married when they grow up."
After hearing this, Bai Yong burst into tears, the kind of crying that made him collapse.
It didn't matter that he was crying, but the whites of his eyes also scared the brat to tears.
Two people started crying at once. Jiang Chen looked bewildered. "What, what's going on?"
Luo Chunhua ran out of the house, "Why are you howling, you little brat? You scared me. Are you itching for trouble?" As soon as she came out, she saw her son-in-law standing there at a loss. Luo Chunhua's heart skipped a beat.
I was afraid that the children at home would scare Jiang Chen, and I couldn’t scare my good son-in-law away.
Bai Jing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her mother come out. She stepped forward and took the bowl of food from Jiang Chen's hand. "Put the food over first. Don't worry about that brat. He deserves a beating."
Bai Ling also rolled her eyes and cried, her little brother and sister were covered with snot and tears, it was really embarrassing.
Bai Ling threw their schoolbags over and followed her elder sister and brother-in-law into the main room.
"Sister, when are you and your brother-in-law getting engaged?" She knew these things. It was normal for an elder sister to get married when she got older. Not only her elder sister, but she was also the same.
You can stay at home until you are 20 years old at most. If you are not married after 20 years old, I am afraid people will gossip about you.
Wasn’t it like that before? She had heard a lot of gossip about Sister Cuicui.
So she accepted the fact that her eldest sister was getting married well. In addition, her brother-in-law looked very good and could stay at home. Her mother also let him get along with her eldest sister, which proved that he had passed the test of her parents.
She believed in her mother's judgment.
"Tomorrow." Bai Jing knew what her second sister was thinking when she heard her asking about engagement. "Tomorrow is the weekend, you have to entertain the guests well."
Hearing that the time was so tight, Bai Ling frowned, "Is my brother-in-law busy at work?"
She had heard a little about Jiang Chen, and her parents didn't avoid her when they discussed him.
My brother-in-law is in the army. I think he is in such a hurry, maybe he is going back to the army.
Bai Jing put down the bowl of food, then smiled at her second sister, "No, it's just that Mom asked for leave tomorrow. Anyway, it's just a formality. We don't have too many relatives to invite, so we decided to schedule it for tomorrow."
After understanding it, Bai Ling didn't ask any more questions and happily called him brother-in-law.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and agreed generously, then took out a red envelope from his pocket and said, "This is a meeting red envelope for you."
Bai Ling didn't take it immediately, but looked at her elder sister. After her elder sister nodded, she happily took it and said thank you to her brother-in-law.
"You're welcome."
The food is ready. Now we just have to wait for Mr. Bai to come back so that we can have dinner.
Bai Quanfu came back early because he knew there were guests coming to his house, so he asked for half an hour off in advance.
I also told my second and third brothers about Xiaojing's engagement tomorrow, and asked them to go home and tell their sister-in-law to come and help.
"Dad." Bai Yong was being beaten by his mother when he saw his father pushing a bicycle into the yard. He let out a shrill cry, then escaped from his mother's clutches and pounced on his father who had parked the car.
