Chapter 164: Welcoming Party
Not long after Yan Zhiyi reunited with his sister's family, Cheng Chen came with people to pick them up.
The hotel that had been arranged long ago was the best one in their area. It was certainly not as good as the one in Beijing, but their sincerity was there, and they even booked the entire hotel in advance, trying not to hold their son back.
They knew that their son was very lucky to marry a daughter of a wealthy family in Beijing. As the old saying goes, a woman three years older than a man will bring him a fortune. Their silly son finally got one.
You have to know that with the family background of their future daughter-in-law, if it weren't for their son's good luck, they wouldn't even have the chance to meet her. Now they can get engaged and get married and become their daughter-in-law, which is more gratifying than their son being admitted to Peking University. After all, a good daughter-in-law can make future generations better, and their Cheng family will get better and better.
In this regard, we have made all the preparations early on to ensure that they are done to the best of our ability. We hope that the in-laws will not despise us. We can see their importance and sincerity. Marriage is a bond between two families. If the elders of both sides get along well, the younger generations can do better.
Although they had already been engaged and had a banquet in Beijing, their hometown was the man's home turf, so the arrangements were particularly lively and grand.
At the welcoming banquet, the Cheng family specially arranged for a chef from Beijing to cook several dishes with Beijing flavors, as well as their own improved versions of dishes that were not so spicy to prevent them from getting used to it. As expected, except for Yan Zhiyi, no one else could eat spicy food.
Except for the Cheng couple, everyone else present knew the truth. It was just that Yan Zhiyi's taste had changed a little bit because of the one in his family.
After the meal, both sides got along very well.
When they had arranged to pick people up, Luo Xiao was originally included in the plan. However, since Grandma Cheng and the others were all in the countryside, and the villagers had various trivial matters to attend to, they had to make arrangements separately. Cheng Chen and the others went to pick people up at the airport, while Luo Xiao made arrangements at home.
Although he was the one making the arrangements, most of the arrangements had been made. Luo Xiao did not need to run to the actual venue. At most, he would wait until tomorrow to place all the villagers in the hotel. His aunt would help with these things. In short, Luo Xiao's role was just like a bystander.
That's why he has so much leisure time to mess around in space.
After working in the space for a while and taking a shower inside, Luo Xiao left the space.
Just after he left the space, his cell phone rang. Luo Xiao picked up the phone and took a look at who was calling. After seeing clearly, he answered the call.
[Xiao, I almost forgot to mention that we are getting engaged in our hometown this time, and some of our classmates have also expressed their intention to come to the engagement party. Some of them are not convenient to take a taxi, so why don’t you arrange to pick them up? What do you think?] Cheng Chen’s loud voice came out from the receiver.
[Are your classmates coming too? Are there many?] Luo Xiao asked a few questions.
Cheng Chen’s classmates are his classmates, but he really doesn’t know how many classmates will come to Cheng Chen’s engagement party.
[Nine people agreed to come, four of them were able to come on their own, and the other five students came from hometowns where it was inconvenient to take a bus. I was thinking that Yan Qing and the others were here, so could we take them to a hotel in the county town to stay for one night?] Cheng Chen spoke the following words in a low voice.
[Okay, send me their contact information via text message. Also, have you communicated with them well and arranged the hotel? ] Luo Xiao asked directly.
[It has been arranged and discussed before.] Cheng Chen said with a chuckle.
Luo Xiao understood that everything had been arranged and he could be asked to help.
But he was happy with it.
The reason why Cheng Chen went to Luo Xiao instead of talking to his parents was that he felt that his classmates were of the same generation as him and he did not want to trouble his elders. That was the relationship and friendship between them. His classmates came to attend his engagement party, and that was the friendship between them as young people. In short, he just wanted to arrange it himself.
After confirming it, the two hung up the phone.
Luo Xiao left the room to look for Yan Qing and the others.
Cheng Chen was shocked.
As soon as he finished the call, he turned around and saw his mother looking at him with her arms folded across her chest.
"Mom, why are you standing behind me without saying hello..." Cheng Chen said guiltily.
"I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear it." Chen Youyou curled her lips. As the sound of her knocking was very soft, she didn't say anything.
"Okay, then Mom, what's the matter?" Cheng Chen touched his nose and asked Chen Youyou.
"It's okay, I just want to ask you, are you hiding something from us?" Chen Youyou said as she moved closer and stared at Cheng Chen.
Cheng Chen took a step back unconsciously.
"Mom, no way. Don't make random guesses. You and Dad have worked hard to greet my in-laws. Go and take a rest. We can talk about it later. I also want to rest for a while." Cheng Chen said as he gently pushed his mother out.
Chen Youyou used her son's strength to get out of his room.
After returning to her and her husband's room, she muttered something to her husband.
Cheng Tian told her to let things take their own course. They would definitely know when it was their turn. They must have their reasons for hiding the child from them.
They need to take a rest first, and then cheer up and greet their relatives properly later.
So he took his wife to rest.
He has been busy with everything recently and feels bad for his wife. He feels that she has lost weight due to being busy, so he needs to help her gain some weight back.
Before falling asleep, Chen Youyou suddenly said, "Honey, Cheng Chen mentioned the name Yan Qing to the person on the other end of the phone. Isn't Yan Qing the friend who came to play with Xiaoxiao before?"
After hearing what his wife said, Cheng Tian patted her on the back, signaling her to stop talking and rest.
Chen Youyou knew what he meant. He wanted her to rest and would not answer her.
So she stopped worrying about it and closed her eyes to rest.
Cheng Tian didn't fall asleep.
As the pillar of the family, he thought a lot, especially about Yan Qing, whom his wife had just mentioned. First of all, the surname Yan makes people think a lot. Secondly, Yan Qing and another person named Yan Chen are siblings. Their attitude towards Xiaoxiao is not that of friends at all, but rather that of respect. He was not wrong about this, and he was very sure of it.
Another point is that Cheng Chen must have known about it, but he just helped to keep it a secret. The only reason he could do this was to help Xiaoxiao keep it a secret.
Cheng Tian thought a lot in his mind, but finally decided to put it aside for the time being. The most important thing now was to entertain his in-laws and make the engagement banquet here go smoothly.
After Luo Xiao communicated with Yan Qing and the others, the brother and sister finally decided to let Yan Chen go to pick up the person.
Since there was a phone call, Yan Chen could go pick them up, but Luo Xiao didn't go with them.
There are still no cement roads in some places, and the winding mountain roads are no joke. Luo Xiao doesn't try to be tough, otherwise he will be the one who suffers from motion sickness.
