"Sorry, Mei, I'm a little late."
Ye Yichen was too embarrassed to say that he had been cleaning up at home for a long time before finally going out, for fear of embarrassing Zhou Jiangmei.
"It's not too late, just in time, come in."
Ye Yichen walked into the house with cigarettes, alcohol and bird's nest in his hands.
When Aunt Zhou Jiangmei and the others saw Ye Yichen's appearance, they instantly lost their composure. This young man didn't look like an ordinary person at all.
But seeing that he only had cigarettes and alcohol in his hands, there was a bit more contempt in his eyes. He was so stingy when he came to the house for the first time, only bringing two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes. It was really not that generous.
Ye Yichen put the cigarettes and alcohol at the door of the living room and greeted Zhou's father and mother.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm so sorry. I was delayed on the way. These are the Moutai and Zhonghua bottles I bought. Jiang Mei told me that you like to drink, so I picked them out specially for you."
Aunt Zhou Jiangmei and the others were no longer calm. Although the wine and cigarettes were valuable, they were just average. But if it was Moutai and Zhonghua, it would be a different story. They were specially supplied a few years ago and ordinary people couldn't buy them even if they paid money.
Now that the economy has been liberalized, things are relatively better, but these two brands are not cheap and are considered the most expensive.
Zhou Jiangmei's father was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He never thought that his daughter could find such a son-in-law at such an old age. It was really a blessing from God.
"You're too polite, kid. This must cost a lot of money, right?"
Ye Yichen smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, it's not much money. By the way, this is the bird's nest and sea cucumber I bought for Auntie. I heard they are good for health."
Hearing that Ye Yichen bought expensive things, they no longer dared to look down on him. After all, when their daughter got married, their son-in-law had never given her so many expensive foods.
Aunt Zhou Jiangmei was a little unhappy and couldn't help but glance at her daughter next to her.
As a result, her daughter's eyes were wide open, staring at Ye Yichen motionlessly. Aunt Zhou Jiangmei's face darkened, and she quickly stretched out her leg and kicked her daughter, signaling her to calm down.
"You are such a thoughtful kid. Come and sit down. The food is ready and everyone is waiting for you to eat."
Mother Zhou said with a smile, inviting Ye Yichen to sit down.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yichen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. My car is parked at the door. I bought a lot of things and I really can't carry them. Can you and uncle go down and help me get them?"
When these words came out, everyone was stunned. My goodness, giving such a valuable gift is not enough? There is actually more.
At this moment, Zhou's father and mother felt proud. They finally felt proud in front of their relatives. After being laughed at for so many years, they finally got some face today.
The group of people went downstairs in a mighty procession. After going down, they found that Ye Yichen had driven a car. When they opened the trunk, they found meat, malted milk, and a large bag of White Rabbit milk candy. The entire trunk was stuffed full.
When the Zhou family learned that these were all for them, they were stunned.
This is too expensive. It's not like they've set a date for a wedding, but they're being given so many gifts for the first time. It really makes them flattered.
It took two trips back and forth to move all the things in the trunk. When a colleague from the staff quarters saw this, he couldn't help but gossip.
When people learned that Zhou Jiangmei had found such a wealthy partner, they sighed. They said that Zhou Jiangmei was an old girl from the family compound and would have a hard time getting married. So what if she had a good career? In the end, she had wasted her whole life.
I didn't expect that he suddenly found a partner, and such an outstanding one at that.
Driving a car these days is unthinkable. It must cost tens of thousands, right? They work so hard for years and still can't afford one.
Zhou Jiangmei's aunt and uncle could no longer sit still after seeing the living room piled with gifts.
They came here today to see the joke, not to be slapped in the face. Who could have thought that Zhou Jiangmei really found such an excellent partner?
Not to mention anything else, just the conditions and appearance are enough to make her win.
Although Zhou's parents had seen some of the world, they were still nervous. They had heard their daughter say that the man was rich, but they had never imagined he was this wealthy. The things he bought today alone cost thousands of yuan. Wow, his family must be very rich.
When Zhou Jiangmei's cousin saw this scene, she clenched her fists. She even laughed at Zhou Jiangmei, but she ended up finding such a man.
When she thought of her husband, she really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. Seeing Ye Yichen chatting with everyone there, the jealousy in her heart grew more and more.
Uncle Zhou Jiangmei couldn't stand it any longer, and after sitting down, he started asking all sorts of questions, just like checking the household registration.
Ye Yichen didn't expect that there would be so many people here today. Out of courtesy, he kept replying politely, but he was also curious. His future father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't ask anything, but these relatives were quite gossipy.
When they learned that Ye Yichen's mother was a high-ranking leader and his father was not an ordinary person, the smiles on their faces were very forced.
With his conditions, let alone finding someone like Zhou Jiangmei, even finding an 18-year-old rich girl would be more than enough.
Is this guy blind? Why is he only looking at Zhou Jiangmei? The problem is that he is a few years younger than Zhou Jiangmei.
But in front of everyone, they couldn't say the truth, but they couldn't help feeling sour in their hearts.
Everyone had their own agenda during the meal. Mother Zhou was in a good mood and rarely criticized her sister-in-law.
Later, Zhou Jiangmei's uncle and aunt couldn't stand it anymore and quickly found an excuse to leave.
As soon as these troublesome people left, the atmosphere immediately became much better.
Not wanting Ye Yichen to misunderstand, Zhou's father and mother hurriedly explained that it was a relative who came uninvited and they were really sorry. Ye Yichen didn't care about it at all. He was a grown man and had relatives, so it was no big deal.
In the end, Ye Yichen and Zhou's father drank a lot of wine. After Zhou Jiangmei's father drank too much, he became less restrained and pulled Ye Yichen's hand to give him instructions.
"Xiao Ye, our Jiang Mei is absolutely a good child. She said she hopes you two can discuss things with each other and understand each other and live a good life. If there are any conflicts, just tell us and we will help you discipline her."
Ye Yichen nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, uncle. Jiang Mei is such a nice person, how could we possibly quarrel? We will definitely live a good life in the future. After all, we are both heading for marriage. I have discussed it with my family and will set a date for the wedding soon. I don't know what you mean by that?"
When Zhou's father and mother heard this, they were even happier. They wished they could get the two of them married right away. They couldn't let such a good son-in-law be seduced away by others. They would feel at ease only after he was settled.
"Okay, you guys can pick a date first, and tell us when you've decided on one, and we'll make the arrangements. You and Jiang Mei have been dating for a while now, and you know each other well. It's time to put the wedding on the agenda."
Mother Zhou said with a smile.
