With a beaming smile, Liu Sulan walked up to her mother-in-law, Pan Cuiping, and said, "Mother, I have some good news to tell you!"
"Sulan, you're all smiles, is there some good news?"
While sewing the shoe soles, Pan Cuiping asked gently.
"Yes, yes, this is a happy event for our family."
Chengyuan bought a house in the county town. Today, my older sister, brother-in-law, and I went to see the house together. We thought it was nice, so we bought it.
Liu Sulan nodded.
"What? You bought a house in the county town?"
This kid's really something! He's actually able to buy a house in the county town. That's truly a joyous occasion.
It will be more convenient for him to do business in the future, and it will also be more convenient for you to accompany him in the county town.
It will also make it much easier for you to visit your parents' home.
"Yes, that's what Chengyuan and I thought, so we bought it."
In three days, we'll be moving in!
We'll throw a housewarming party then, it'll be a lively and festive occasion.
Mother, what do you think?
Liu Sulan asked in a consultative tone.
Upon hearing this, Pan Cuiping's eyes lit up, and she smiled broadly, repeatedly saying, "Of course it's great! This is wonderful!"
We didn't have a housewarming celebration last time, so we have to make it a proper one this time.
Pan Cuiping said with a smile, thinking to herself, "My son is so promising, he's becoming more and more capable!"
Liu Sulan continued, "Mother, there's something else I'd like to trouble you with."
Chengyuan and I won't invite too many people, just our own relatives, my parents, the Jiang family, my uncle and maternal grandfather.
Cheng Yuan also suggested inviting Uncle Zhou and his family.
The village chief has always helped our family a lot. Do you think we could invite the village chief and his family to the county town for a housewarming party in three days?
They will definitely give you face if you go.
Liu Sulan said this deliberately.
It's a favor if the mother-in-law goes to invite her.
Without hesitation, Pan Cuiping slapped her thigh, stood up, and said, "What's the trouble? I'll go right now!"
The village chief's family has been so kind to us; we should definitely invite them."
After saying that, he happily went out.
Watching her mother-in-law's happy figure, Liu Sulan went to find her sister-in-law, Yu Xiangcao.
"Big sister, Chengyuan just told me that we will be moving into our new home in three days."
He said that he didn't have a banquet when he built his new house last time, but this time he wants to invite some close relatives and friends to celebrate together.
I just told my mother that she has already gone out to invite the village chief and his family.
I'd like to ask my older sister to invite my cousin's wife from the Wang family.
The eldest sister and cousin's wife have always had a good relationship, so it would be better if you went to invite them.
I'll leave this to you; I won't be going.
What do you think?
Liu Sulan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangcao immediately agreed, "We should hold a banquet to celebrate and make it lively. This is a great event for our family, no matter what."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, leave this to me. I'll definitely pass on the message."
Liu Sulan smiled and nodded, then added, "Big sister, you should also invite Wang Erniu's family. They'll all be relatives in the future, and it'll be more lively with more people."
Yu Xiangcao replied, "Okay, now Wang Erniu and his wife are treating Chunyan very well."
Since that's the case, it wouldn't be a problem to invite them all as well.
After arranging these things, Liu Sulan returned to her room, where Yu Chengyuan was sitting at his desk organizing accounts.
Liu Sulan walked over, plopped down, and said, "Chengyuan, I've arranged everything. Mother-in-law will go to invite the village chief's family, and my sister-in-law will go to invite my cousin and her family."
By the way, have you told Brother Jiang about this?
Yu Chengyuan stopped what he was doing, looked up and said, "Not yet. Aren't you going to see our parents tomorrow?"
Let's go invite them together tomorrow; it will show more sincerity.
After I finish this, I'll take you to see your parents. Then I'll go to the Jinjiang Hotel and tell Mr. Su and Mr. Wang that I'll pick you up this afternoon.
Liu Sulan nodded in agreement: "Okay, as long as you've made the arrangements."
"Who will go and inform my uncle and his family?"
It seems like nobody's going.
Liu Sulan suddenly realized that her uncle hadn't made any arrangements for her.
"Don't worry, I just told my older brother, and he told Dad. Dad is probably almost at Grandpa and Uncle's house by now."
He had already thought of this.
"Oh, okay, that's all arranged."
The next morning...
The two arrived at the Jiang family home hand in hand, where Jiang Haiyang and his mother were sitting in the yard picking vegetables.
Upon seeing Yu Chengyuan and his wife arrive, Jiang Haiyang stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Chengyuan, Sulan, what brings you here? Please have a seat."
What's going on with this couple? We just met yesterday, why are they here again today?
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, Aunt Jiang, I have some good news to tell you."
Upon hearing this good news, Jiang Haiyang hurriedly asked, "Hey kid, what good news is it now? Tell me quickly."
"You brat, look at you, all impatient."
Jiang's mother chuckled and scolded, then smiled and said to Cheng Yuan and the others, "Xiao Yu, talk things out slowly, don't listen to him, he's just an impatient person."
"It's like this, Brother Jiang, Aunt Jiang, we're moving into our new house in the county town in three days, and we'd like to invite you to come and celebrate with us."
Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother exclaimed with delight, "Oh, this is wonderful news! Congratulations!"
We'll definitely go.
Jiang Haiyang joked, "Xiao Yu, Su Lan, your lives are getting better and better. Now that you've moved, it'll be much easier for you to come visit us."
Liu Sulan replied with a smile, "Auntie is right. Now that we've moved to the county town, our two families live closer together. I'll definitely bring my child to bother you when I have time. I just hope you won't find us a nuisance."
"Sulan, what are you saying? I'd love for you to bring the kids here more often, how could I possibly find it troublesome!"
I love my little sugar candy so much!
"I wish she were my granddaughter!"
"In that case, it's settled. I'll definitely bring Tangtang here often so you can see her more often."
Liu Sulan thought to herself that her daughter was indeed loved wherever she went.
The group chatted lively for a while before Mr. and Mrs. Yu Chengyuan got up to say goodbye.
Aunt Jiang invited them to stay for lunch, but they declined because they were busy.
After they said they were going to their mother-in-law's house, Aunt Jiang didn't insist that they stay for lunch.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Chengyuan dropped his wife off at the school gate before riding away on his bicycle.
He also had to go to the Jinjiang Hotel because his older brother usually didn't see Su Mingcheng when he delivered groceries in the morning.
Su Mingcheng usually doesn't go to the store that early, so he has to go there in person to show his sincerity.
Liu Sulan carried the things her husband had bought and returned to her parents' home.
It's the weekend today, no work, and my parents are both home.
As soon as they entered, their first words were, "Sulan, why are you and Tangtang the only ones here?"
Didn't Xiaoyu come with you?
