Chu Xuan didn't notice the figure behind the tree.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Wu and the others walked into the Mu family together.
The Mu family naturally gave them a warm welcome.
The dinner was a combination of meat and vegetables, and both the host and the guests enjoyed it very much.
After dinner, the elders went to the main room to drink tea and talk.
Mu Chenze and the others were cleaning in the kitchen.
In the main hall, Qin Mahua looked at Old Madam Wu and said, "Aunt, I want to discuss with you the date for Xiaoze and Xiaoxuan's wedding. Please take a look at the date first."
Hand over a red paper with three auspicious days written on it.
In fact, she wanted to discuss it with Tian Xiaoyun, but she also saw the authority of the old lady of the Wu family, so she simply discussed it with the old lady first.
Seeing that the old lady seems to be sensible, she will probably pass it on to Tian Xiaoyun.
As expected, Mrs. Wu took the red paper with a smile and handed it directly to Tian Xiaoyun, "Xiaoyun has to decide this matter with you."
Tian Xiaoyun said with joy, "Mom, let's watch it together."
He took the red paper and spread it out between her and the old lady.
The three days are December 6, December 16 and December 18.
Qin Mahua explained cheerfully, "The date is approaching, and I wanted to take advantage of the fact that you're all here so we can hold a wedding banquet for our two children sooner rather than later."
Tian Xiaoyun knew that her daughter was very satisfied with this marriage, and she also knew that many people got married more than a month after being engaged. She looked at her mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
Then he showed the red paper to Wu Bingcheng, "Bingcheng, what do you think?"
Give your mother-in-law and husband enough face.
In fact, she knew that her husband would definitely listen to her, but she had to ask this in front of her mother-in-law.
Wu Bingcheng responded gently, "Chen Ze is a steady and motivated child. I like him very much. I agree that the two children should hold their wedding banquet as soon as possible. As for which of the three dates to choose, you and our mother can decide."
Tian Xiaoyun handed the red paper to Mrs. Wu again, "Mom, you are the elder, you make the final decision."
Mrs. Wu said kindly, "My decision is yours. Decide it!"
Tian Xiaoyun considered it carefully for a moment, then said with a smile, "Let's set it for December 16th!"
Qin Mahua and Mu Qinlao said in unison, "Okay!"
Afterwards, they talked about the wedding house and whether to build a house in the village or buy a house in the county town after dividing the family.
The woman did not covet anything from her in-laws' family, and the talks went very smoothly.
At this moment, Chu Xuan called Mu Chenze aside and whispered, "Prepare gifts for the elders tomorrow..."
Before he could finish his question, Mu Chenze responded in a low voice, "Everything is ready, don't worry!"
Chu Xuan was a little curious, "What are the gifts?"
"Leave it as a little suspense for now, and reveal it tomorrow morning."
"All right."
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan and his friends returned home.
Old Mrs. Wu called Tian Xiaoyun to the bedroom and handed her two big red envelopes.
"Here's 20,000 yuan. Ten thousand is from me to Xiaoxuan, and the other ten thousand is from you. I know you and Bingcheng don't have that much money in savings."
Tian Xiaoyun took it with gratitude, "Thank you, Mom! When we save up 10,000 yuan, we will definitely return it to you."
"That's not necessary. I didn't give you any betrothal gifts when you and Bingcheng got married. This is to make up for it."
"Thank you, Mom, for recognizing me!"
"Take good care of yourself in the future, and don't always make Bingcheng worry."
"Yes. By the way, Mom, Xiaoxuan and Xiaofeng's last names..."
"Don't change it for now. Wait a few years and wait until we can't find out their biological father's background."
"You know all this?"
"Not only do I know, I will also do my best to help them find their grandparents."
Old Mrs. Wu had a hunch that Chu Xuan’s grandparents might be from a family with a good background.
Tian Xiaoyun suddenly understood why her mother-in-law was willing to accept two children.
Mrs. Wu smiled calmly. "Are you thinking that I accepted Xiaoxuan and her grandparents because I guessed they were not simple people? You're wrong! I accepted them and helped them because Xiaoxuan is capable and grateful, and Xiaofeng is polite and motivated."
Tian Xiaoyun felt that he was judging others by his own standards.
With an apologetic look on his face, he said, "Mom, I'm narrow-minded! Thank you for explaining so much."
"It's Bingcheng who likes you! As your mother, I can't let you bear any grudges against me. Go to bed early!"
"good."
Tian Xiaoyun walked out.
After a while, Chu Feng knocked on Mrs. Wu's door, "Grandma, I brought some foot washing water, would you like to soak your feet?"
An unconscious smile appeared on Mrs. Wu's face. She opened the door and reached out to take the foot washing water. "Thank you, Xiaofeng!"
"It's your duty to be filial to grandma!" Chu Feng didn't let her take it. "I'll bring it in for you. I'll chat with you for a while, and when you're done, I'll take the footbath water out."
Old Mrs. Wu readily agreed.
Sitting on the kang, soaking your feet and chatting.
"Xiao Feng, why didn't you send your mother some footbath water?"
"My sister is taking care of my mom. I'll come over to take care of you first. I'll go stay with dad later."
"You're such a sensible child. Grandma didn't give you any welcome gift, nor did she give you any money for changing your name!"
Chu Feng was about to say that it was not necessary to give it to her when Old Lady Wu took off a pendant from her neck and placed it in Chu Feng's hand.
"This is a gift from grandma."
"Grandma, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
"A gift from an elder cannot be refused. Accept it! Otherwise, I will be angry."
Chu Feng no longer refused, "Thank you, grandma!"
With a contented smile on his face, he put it around his neck.
It is a jade pendant with auspicious clouds.
At this moment, Tian Xiaoyun was soaking her feet in Chu Xuan's bedroom.
She pushed the jewelry box beside her in front of Chu Xuan.
"Xiao Xuan, open them and pick two. These were given to me by your grandma, who specifically told you to pick two."
Chu Xuan took a look at the brand new jewelry box and asked, "Is this something grandma just gave you?"
"That's right. Thanks to you and Xiaofeng for helping me gain face, otherwise your grandmother wouldn't accept me as her daughter-in-law."
Chu Xuan didn't rush to pick out jewelry, but asked softly, "Mom, you seem a little afraid of grandma, why?"
Tian Xiaoyun didn't hide it. "I feel guilty for not being able to give birth to a son or daughter for the Wu family. Also, I know in my heart that without her tacit approval, I wouldn't be able to earn so much money to pay back my debts. Every time we meet, I always feel like I owe her a lot. In fact, I can see now that she is hard on the outside but soft on the inside."
"Mom, you can relax a little when you get along with grandma from now on, just like you did with grandma back then."
When the word "grandma" was mentioned, Tian Xiaoyun choked up a little, "Your grandma and grandpa passed away early, and they didn't give me the chance to be filial to them. You are right, from now on, treat your mother-in-law as your own mother, then you will feel more at ease when getting along with her."
Seeing her mother about to cry, Chu Xuan quickly changed the subject, "Mom, can you help me pick out jewelry?"
Open the jewelry box.
Inside there was a jade bracelet, a gold bracelet, a pair of gold earrings, three gold rings, two jade rings, two gold necklaces, two gold bracelets, and a diamond necklace.
Chu Xuan said that she would let her mother help her choose, but she had already made a decision in her heart.
Tian Xiaoyun took out a diamond necklace and said generously, "This is for you, try it on and see."
Chu Xuan took it and acted coquettishly, "Let me put it on you. It's more suitable for your age."
Tian Xiaoyun specifically reminded, "This diamond necklace is very valuable! Look, this diamond is as big as a pigeon egg..."
