Chapter 159 How are the wedding preparations going?
"Why didn't I know there was an old house?"
While Ye Muqi was cooking, she asked Rong Jingchen, when Rong Jingchen said he wanted to invite his family to come over for the New Year, he didn't mention anything about the old house.
"This is the old house that my dad was assigned when he was in the army. But after he passed away, my mom brought me back to town and gave the house back to me." Rong Jingchen explained to her, "I just remembered it these past two days."
Died?
Ye Muqi was stunned, and it took him a while to react. He found this incident from the almost forgotten memory of the original owner.
No wonder she asked why she had never met Rong Jingchen's father. They had agreed to celebrate the New Year together, but he didn't come.
There was some impression of this incident in the original owner's memory, but Ye Muqi had not noticed it before.
Fortunately, I didn’t say anything inappropriate in front of Rong Jingchen.
Ye Muqi thought about it for a while and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"That old house must have been uninhabited for a long time, so it must need cleaning. There must be no daily necessities. We can go over there to deliver the quilt and help out at the same time."
Ye Muqi put the prepared dishes on the stove and simmered them slowly. Several meat dishes were ready, and they needed time to simmer slowly so that they would taste better.
As for the remaining stir-fried dishes, everything has been prepared, so it won’t be too late to stir-fry them after you get back.
She followed Rong Jingchen and went to the old building carrying a quilt and some daily necessities.
A few people worked together and finished the cleaning quickly. When they spread out the quilts and returned home, it was almost dark.
The dishes stewed on the stove when Ye Muqi went out were all stewed until they were soft and tasty, and they could start eating right after stir-frying the vegetables.
"Xixi's cooking seems to be getting better and better now. It tastes even better than when she was at home." Ye Zhengfeng praised sincerely. He finished a bowl of rice quickly and went to get another big bowl.
Yin Lan's previous depressed mood due to the old house was healed by this table of food, especially after seeing Ye Muqi cook the dishes that he had asked her about her favorite dishes when they were at home, a gentle smile appeared between her brows.
"With your skills, your breakfast shop must be doing very good business, right?" Yin Lan also asked her.
The three of them praised the dish highly. Although they had eaten it before at home, it was even more amazing when they ate it again after such a long time.
Ye Muqi nodded: "Business in the store is very good, and there are always customers every day."
Speaking of the breakfast shop, Ye Muqi couldn't help but feel happy. Now the daily turnover is very high, and she still has several thousand yuan in her hands.
"Why don't you take us to your breakfast shop tomorrow?" Xia Ying asked her, looking at Yin Lan at the same time.
Yin Lan nodded at her, indicating that she also wanted to go and take a look: "We have nothing to do at home, and we can go over to your store to help out."
"Okay, you can come with me in the morning." Ye Muqi agreed immediately, "We'll have breakfast in the store, and you can choose whatever you want."
Xia Ying and Yin Lan were actually looking forward to it when they heard it. They wanted to know what Ye Muqi's breakfast shop looked like and what was inside.
Ye Zhengfeng, who was standing nearby, was even tempted to go over and take a look.
They had a very enjoyable meal. After the meal, Rong Jingchen and Ye Muqi wanted to clean up, but Xia Ying and Yin Lan stopped them and they went into the kitchen to clean up.
"Let's go back to sleep first and come back early tomorrow morning." After sitting for a while, Xia Ying and the other two prepared to go to the old house to rest.
Although there was still one room in the house, the three of them didn't want to disturb the two of them, so they all moved into the old house.
"Qiqi, don't see me off. It's cold outside." Seeing Ye Muqi putting on her clothes and preparing to go out, Yin Lan immediately stopped her.
Ye Muqi was pushed back into the house, and Rong Jingchen also held her back.
"You are weak, don't go out and catch a cold. Just stay at home." Xia Ying also agreed.
"I'll go and take you there." Rong Jingchen also said beside her.
"?"
Several people didn't want Ye Muqi to go out. Ye Muqi was confused. Although the weather was cold now, she was not so fragile that she would catch a cold if she went out, right?
However, seeing that they all seemed very determined, Ye Muqi did not insist on following them out.
Xia Ying and Yin Lan will stay here until after the Chinese New Year. There will be many opportunities for them to spend time together, so there is no need to rush.
Ye Muqi waved to them, and Rong Jingchen came over and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead before closing the door.
Rong Jingchen and Xia Ying walked downstairs together. They looked behind them and saw that the four people who were originally walking at a distance soon got together.
"Son, how are your wedding preparations going?" Yin Lan asked him a little anxiously.
The three of them had wanted to ask Rong Jingchen about this matter a long time ago, but Ye Muqi was always there, so they didn't find a chance.
Now that Ye Muqi wasn't following them out, they finally found a chance to talk to Rong Jingchen alone.
"There's not much time left until the end of the year, and we're celebrating the Chinese New Year. You have to seize the time, as it will be difficult to prepare during the Chinese New Year." Xia Ying nodded in agreement.
The wedding date has been set. Yin Lan and Xia Ying went to calculate it together and discussed it for a long time before deciding on the date - half a month after the Chinese New Year.
"Everything is almost ready." Rong Jingchen nodded. When talking about the wedding, he didn't look as cold as before.
There was even a flicker of happiness in Rong Jingchen's eyes. He was indeed very busy during this period. Not only was he busy in the army, he was also secretly preparing for his wedding.
"There's still more than half a month left. Even if the preparatory work isn't finished, we can help if we come over now. It won't take long to get it done." Ye Zhengfeng said from the side.
Before, only Rong Jingchen was doing it, but now with the three of them, it is much easier to prepare.
"When are you going to tell Xiqi about the wedding? She has to prepare her clothes in advance, and it would be impossible to keep it a secret until the wedding and then give her a surprise." Xia Ying thought about it and said.
Now Ye Muqi knew nothing about the wedding and just thought that Xia Ying and the others came here just to celebrate the New Year together.
"I'll talk to Xixi when everything is almost ready. She's in the store every day now and is very busy. I want her to relax a little during the New Year."
Rong Jingchen also knew that it was impossible to talk about it at the wedding.
Now he is almost ready, and his parents have also arrived. Rong Jingchen thinks that he can talk to Ye Muqi about the wedding in a few days.
"Xiaorong is so thoughtful. If Qiqi knew about this, she would definitely be very happy." Xia Ying praised.
Now Xia Ying and Ye Zhengfeng are becoming more and more satisfied with Rong Jingchen.
