It was her first time hosting a meal, and not only was she forced to meet their parents, but they also gave her gifts and red envelopes. She was too embarrassed to accept them!
Seeing that her future daughter-in-law refused to accept red envelopes and gifts, Tao Jiafen became anxious and quickly comforted her.
"It's okay, take it. This is our family's rule. We give red envelopes and gifts to people who come for the first time. Don't take it to heart, and don't think too much about it!"
Huang Xin, who was standing by, also became anxious and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, giving red envelopes and gifts is really just family etiquette, there is no other meaning."
Of course, the other meaning is that the couple likes this future daughter-in-law, but they can't say this. What if the future daughter-in-law feels pressured and refuses to accept anything? That would be the end of it.
Zhou Zhan on the side also explained with a smile.
"Yes, yes. I gave you the red envelope and the gift purely because I like your character and who you are. Just keep them. Xiaoya, the things grandma gave you are not valuable."
When saying this, Zhou Zhan was so busy winking at his grandson that his eyes almost cramped. Huang Tinggan finally reacted, reached out and held the back of Li Xiaoya's hand, and said softly.
"Xiaoya, since these are the gifts from our elders, just accept them. These gifts and red envelopes are worthless, so don't feel any psychological burden."
Li Xiaoya: “…”
This red envelope looks quite thick, and you can tell at a glance that there is a lot of money stuffed inside. This gift box looks quite high-end and classy. Ordinary gifts probably don't need such a good box.
Ma Xiaoya was very nervous, but facing a very sincere family, their eyes fixed on her. Li Xiaoya felt that she was about to dig out a room with her toes again, and finally nodded helplessly and said weakly.
"Okay, I'll take it first, thank you!"
After saying that, Li Xiaoya reluctantly took the red envelope and gift box and placed them in front of herself. Huang Tinggan, who was standing by, was afraid that she would not clean them up, so he directly took the red envelope and gift box and stuffed them into Li Xiaoya's bag.
Now, you have no choice but to accept it. I’ve stuffed it all in your bag.
Li Xiaoya: “…”
She looked helplessly at Huang Tinggan who was working hard to collect red envelopes and gifts for her, then said to the three old men after a moment of silence.
"Grandma, uncle and aunt, I was originally here to buy some goods today. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts for you. I'll give you gifts in return next time I come to visit you. I'm sorry."
Who would have thought that a simple purchase of goods would lead to a meeting with his parents? Who would have thought that I would be soft-hearted and stay for dinner, and have a reunion dinner with my boyfriend's family, and they even gave me a gift.
Surprise! This unexpected event, I just want to ask you if you can handle it.
When the three elders present heard that their future granddaughter-in-law was going to give them gifts, they couldn't hold back the smiles on their faces, but they still spoke in unison.
"Don't worry, don't worry. How can an elder accept a gift from a younger person? There's no need to prepare anything deliberately!"
The main point is that the younger generation should not have any psychological burden. If they say they also want gifts, Li Xiaoya will probably feel a lot of psychological pressure.
Li Xiaoya looked at the smiling faces of the three elders and couldn't help feeling ashamed in her heart.
"She's quite anxious. She received two big red envelopes and two exquisite gifts from the elders. It would be strange if she wasn't anxious!"
After receiving the gifts, the whole scene became more harmonious, and everyone began to eat. Since Li Xiaoya was a new employee and Huang Tinggan's girlfriend, she naturally received special care.
Everyone's enthusiasm was shown in picking up dishes for Li Xiaoya. From the beginning of the meal, everyone had their chopsticks in their hands, picking up this dish and that dish for Li Xiaoya. Li Xiaoya's bowl was piled up like a small mountain.
Li Xiaoya was under so much pressure while eating that she looked at Huang Tinggan from time to time. Huang Tinggan, you wanted to pretend not to see it, but your girlfriend's gaze was too lethal, so you had no choice but to help eat the food in Li Xiaoya's bowl. In the end, both young men were full!
When it was time to leave, Li Xiaoya's belly was so round that she had trouble walking, and she felt helpless.
"I can't have dinner with my elders again, or I'll definitely die of stuffing."
When the two young men left, Zhou Zhan, Huang Xin, and Tao Jiafen stood at the door, waving enthusiastically at the car and giving instructions.
"Xiaoya, remember to come to our house for dinner with Huang Tinggan more often. Also, remember to let us know when your boutique opens. We will definitely be there to show our support!"
Li Xiaoya, who was so stretched that she could hardly sit in the driver's seat, helplessly replied with a smile that was uglier than crying.
"I understand. I will come back often with Huang Tinggan for dinner when I have time. I will make sure to inform grandma, uncles and aunts on the day our boutique opens!" As soon as the words fell, Li Xiaoya drove away quickly. If she didn't leave, she was afraid that the three elders would drag them away again and force them to eat desserts. If they were really stuffed to death, then it would be all over!
Zhong Chuchu and Ruan Wanxin have been busy at the cosmetics processing factory recently. Fortunately, the workers under them are all very skilled at their work, and the cosmetics production is going smoothly. A large number of cosmetics were produced very quickly. In addition to supplying them for sales in Fuzhou, a large number of cosmetics were retained, waiting to open up the market in Beijing.
There is no need to worry about the purchase of raw materials for cosmetics, because they are all old customers with whom we have cooperated for many years. Those suppliers of cosmetic raw materials are also very quick to provide the supply. After a few days, all the raw materials for cosmetics production have arrived and everything has been sorted out.
Zhong Chuchu called Wang Wenqin who was far away in Beijing and confirmed that she would leave for Beijing in three days to develop the cosmetics market there.
Of course, why do we have to go to the capital in three days? It’s because Li Xiaoya’s Jingchang store will open in two days.
It is said that Li Xiaoya invested a lot of energy and resources in her boutique, and even met her boyfriend's parents and gained the support of her boyfriend's entire family.
The long-awaited boutique is finally opening. As her partners, Chung Chu Chu and Ruan Wan Xin naturally have to attend the opening ceremony of their partnership business.
As for Bo Munian, he knew that his young wife was going to Beijing to develop the market, and that she would be away for at least ten days or half a month. Although he was reluctant to let her go, he still deliberately took three days off to stay at home with his wife.
Of course, accompanying his wife is accompanying in the purest sense. Not only does he accompany his wife in business during the day, but he also takes his wife to practice shooting all night long, wishing he could give all his bullets to Zhong Chuchu.
Unfortunately, in order to develop her career, Zhong Chuchu resolutely refused to accept his bullets. Bo Mu Nian had no choice but to throw the bullets he had accumulated for a long time into the sewer.
But even if Zhong Chuchu didn't get hit by bullets after practicing shooting every night, she would still be in big trouble!
