Parents meet
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan didn't get together with their friends much after the New Year this year.
It's not that they are thinking about living in their own world of two, but their friends seem to have been forced to get married and arranged to go on blind dates since they got married.
Xiong Er and Xue Zhonghua even called to denounce Shen Baichuan: "Can't you get married after this New Year?"
Did you know that their elders learned about Shen Baichuan’s marriage from Mr. Cheng, and started using Shen Baichuan as an example: Baichuan is married, you are about the same age, you should have gotten married a long time ago!
Yang Qian and Zhuo Jiyu are still abroad and did not come back for the New Year. Yang Qian said that she met Zhuoran abroad, and she guessed that Zhuo Jiyu was nearby, so she didn’t elaborate.
She really wants to know what happens next after Yang Qian meets Zhuoran?
Lin Xinran is busy with work and fighting with her family to refuse to get married now. In her free time, she has to cultivate her relationship with Nie Rong...
Chen Jin sighed, "I suddenly realized that not many people around my age get married early. Yang Qian is an exception."
Yang Qian has been married for more than three years, almost four years, but has not given birth to a child yet. So when we play together, as long as we don’t talk about Zhuo Jiyu, it always feels like Yang Qian is not married yet.
Looking at it this way, she actually got married early!
Shen Baichuan said nothing, and stuffed a piece of cut fruit into her mouth, blocking her thoughts.
After crunching down the piece of fruit, Chen Jin glanced at him and said with a smile, "I've already received the certificate, I can't go back on my word."
Shen Baichuan raised his eyebrows and stuffed another piece of apple into her mouth, "Eat some more."
"Peel an orange, Teacher Shen." Chen Jin lazily curled up on the sofa.
The small living room is almost becoming Daju's territory now. The weather is good today, so she dragged Shen Baichuan here to bask in the sun.
"It's great!" Chen Jin said contentedly, "I can enjoy the sun and eat oranges in the winter without having to do it myself. Hehe, I'm happy!"
Shen Baichuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and asked her when she planned to plant lychees.
"It depends on my uncle. If we can buy the land this year, we should be able to spend the summer vacation in the town next year. We can plant one...four lychee trees outside the yard. We also plant longan and mango trees. We have planted them at home before. Do you like loquats? You can plant one, too."
“I like it.” Shen Baichuan smiled into her eyes.
"Ah! I like it too!" Chen Jin told him in detail what fruits he could eat in the village before.
"We will be fine, as we have our third uncle here. You should just listen to what our eldest uncle says. His previous experience in growing fruit trees is outdated, so we still have to rely on our third uncle..."
"My second uncle is very good at growing strawberries. Jiajia likes to eat them, and I like to eat them too."
"What else... Oh, I wonder if there is a big enough land to make a lotus pond. If not, we can go to the lotus pond in the ancient village... Hey, you peel the orange better than me." Chen Jin gave him half of the orange, "The oranges from Aunt Zhou's fruit shop are especially sweet..."
If the fruit is not sweet, you can’t enter Xiangxiang Fruit Shop. Aunt Zhou is an expert in controlling “product quality”.
No one in the suburban fruit wholesale market in Nancheng District dared to mess with Aunt Zhou, because she would really come to settle the score.
Shen Baichuan also started to get lazy after spending so much time "wasting time" with Chen Jin every day. The company can't find him unless it's something important.
Before school started, Ms. Shen and her grandparents returned to Rong City earlier than originally planned.
The next day after returning, I asked Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan to arrange a meeting with parents.
Chen Jincai told his uncle about the situation, and his uncle said he wanted to book a large private room at Juchun Garden. After chatting for a while, he said he had to go and make preparations and asked her to call someone early to inform them of the time.
"My uncle said that it's better to go early rather than late, to Juchun Garden at noon tomorrow. He has asked someone to book a private room."
At this point in time, most of the seats at Juchunyuan must have been booked, and the remaining seats are specially reserved.
Chen Jin had a friend who was able to get a private room, but her uncle didn't give her a chance to ask. He just made some arrangements and went on with his work.
Both parents felt that getting the marriage certificate was a bit hasty, but both sides thought that it would be better to settle it earlier.
The next day, Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan went there early. But Ms. Shen and their grandparents arrived earlier than them.
Shen Baichuan’s two uncles also came with their wives and children. It looks like there are quite a lot of people here.
But when they saw Chen Jin's people coming in together, they felt that there were still not enough people on their side.
Chen Jin looked at his elders and brothers and sisters who were dressed very formally and found it funny but also felt particularly reassured.
Haha, my third uncle had never worn such a formal suit. He stood straight with his hand almost at his collar trying to fiddle with his tie, but my third aunt quietly slapped him in the face and made him put his hand down.
Not to mention, my second uncle is dressed like a big leader, as if he can come forward and give some instructions at any time.
When no one was paying attention, my aunt quietly asked her if she looked good in that outfit.
"It looks really good! Auntie should wear it more often like this, it looks so good."
When the meal was over, nothing was said and Chen Jin's family was very reliable.
Later on, the discussion about the wedding banquet was also harmonious.
However, Shen Baichuan insisted on holding only one in Rong City and did not think of holding it in Hong Kong as well. He doesn't have many friends there, so just call them all over when the time comes.
I just don't want to make things too complicated. By then, the place will be full of Shen's relatives and friends, which would be quite boring.
Ms. Shen had no objection and said that she would follow his idea and hold one in Rong City.
As for time, my uncle said it still counts. It was perfect. The two elders in the Shen family also believed this and they hit it off. They said that they were not in a hurry to hold the wedding, but they had to pick a good day.
When they got married, the two old people gave Chen Jin a lot of things, saying they were money for changing their names. Even those that Ms. Shen had already brought back to Rong City and given to Shen Baichuan, Chen Jin was numb from receiving them.
Chen Ting said that she was "not grateful for what she has", but there are actually people who are numb to receiving gifts?
It's obvious that those things are meant to be kept and passed down. Chen Jin took a look and knew that those things had to be locked up in a safe or deposited in a bank.
The real money was a large export order that I negotiated with George.
Chen Jin joked, "Is this a wedding gift for us?"
George denied it seriously, "No, no, no, I've had my eyes on the brand Lemei's clothes for a long time. This is not a gift for you. Business matters should be treated separately."
"That's good." Chen Jin felt relieved. If they were looking for her to cooperate because of the relationship between Ms. Shen and Shen Baichuan, she would not feel at ease accepting it.
It’s better to figure it out clearly.
We just came here to meet each other today. We are relatives now, so we want to get to know each other.
Ms. Shen and the others will be staying in Rong City for a while, and there will be plenty of opportunities to have dinner together and chat in the future.
The old man likes my uncle very much and says they can get along well. He has already made an appointment with me to go to the old teahouse outside for tea another day.
Ms. Shen and George stayed with them until the end, and only after everyone else had left did they have time to sit down and talk together.
"Is this the big orange cat? I've heard Baichuan mention it many times. It's really well taken care of." Ms. Shen looked at the big orange cat lying on the stool licking its paws, and she reached out her hand but didn't dare to put it down.
The big orange cat glanced at her and continued to lick its paws. When no one was paying attention, it raised its head and rubbed Ms. Shen's palm, then lay back down.
Chen Jin thought to himself: Daju is really good at acting cute in front of his elders.
Look, Ms. Shen was captured and kept praising how well Orange was raised.
It can be seen that Ms. Shen is in a particularly good mood today, and she also said that Shen Baichuan is in a much better temper now, thanks to Chen Jin's good temper infecting him...
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan both looked at each other with a smile, the ridicule in their eyes couldn't be more obvious, as if they were silently laughing at each other's little secret in public: Look, they actually say this about you, but I know what you are really like.
Ms. Shen felt that the two of them were being too annoying and said that they couldn't continue the conversation, so she went out with George to join in the last excitement of the Spring Festival.
After returning home, Chen Jin laid out the gifts he had received that day and looked at them again.
Each one is so gorgeous that it looks very valuable.
By the way, she called her uncles and aunts one by one to thank them. They made it so solemn for her, and she saw their thoughtfulness.
"You're so distant with me, your uncle? It's rare. You usually ask me for this and that, but I've never seen you talk so well."
Chen Jin laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes, and said, "How could that be? Don't you always say that I'm sweet-mouthed and good at talking?"
"You believe it just because I give you a few compliments?" My uncle couldn't help laughing.
He is such a grown-up, but when he laughs, he either laughs in a hahaha or a gagahaha, and he looks more and more unstable.
"Since you dare to say it, of course I dare to believe it!"
After Chen Jin finished making a series of phone calls to his elders, he actually received a call from his third cousin.
"What did the third brother say?"
"Nothing. I just heard my two uncles' eldest and second cousins secretly talking about whether you had any contact with the Cheng family."
"Don't worry about them."
Chen Jin nodded and said, "If you don't like them, then we won't have anything to do with them in the future. I don't like them either."
"good."
"Don't worry, our family's elbows are all bent inward."
He had nothing to worry about, and this was not the first day he had known about it.
Chen Jin's attention fell on the gifts he received again, "It would be nice if school didn't start the day after tomorrow."
"Ask for leave?"
Chen Jin curled his lips and shook his head. "I can't hire you. I'm teaching a graduating class. Teacher Chang said that the busiest times are the first semester of freshman year and the second semester of senior year. There are so many materials."
"Oh, Aunt Zhao said she would send me an invitation to have dinner with me. She also specifically said that since they are all older ladies, no one will take care of their families, so she can't bring you along."
"Okay." She said that she gets along very well with the aunts. She is really right. She and Aunt Zhou get along very well. Now Aunt Zhao has even sent her a special invitation.
However, Chen Jin's focus is on another side.
She continued, "Brother Hua said that at the end of March, oh, that is, at the end of this month, he will organize a symposium with some entrepreneurs in the city and asked me to go there. You should go too."
"I plan to go see which good companies there are in our city, investigate them, and make a list so that my students can find jobs there."
Shen Baichuan almost choked on the water and said with a smile: “Just for your students?”
Chen Jin pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to him, saying, "That's definitely not the case! It's just a matter of convenience, killing two birds with one stone."
When it comes to his students, Chen Jin becomes quite worried. “I’m really worried that they won’t be able to find a job.”
"Oh, I almost forgot. My eldest brother and his wife, as well as my second and third brothers, asked me if they could work with Jinshun to recruit people at NTU. I agreed, and we'll do it together when the time comes."
After all, Jinshun is now a little famous in Nanjing University, and if they join forces, they can attract college students.
Shen Baichuan said dissatisfiedly: “Why didn’t you call me?”
Just now he said that his arm was bent inward, and now he is isolating him.
Chen Jin said as a matter of course: "Of course you want to join us, do you even need to ask?!"
"Huyoujin, you definitely didn't think of it before." He could still see it.
"Give me another nickname! Shen Dashui!"
Shen Baichuan bent over with laughter, he didn’t expect that he could have such a nickname.
But when she changed the subject, he knew he was right.
