Chapter 124 The little girl is particularly naughty
She teased him deliberately, "Are you unable to sleep because you're thinking about me?"
Shen Jichuan's ears instantly turned red, and a burning fire seemed to be burning deep in his eyes, staring closely at the innocent little girl in front of him.
The voice was even more hoarse, "Hmm..."
Xia Keqing: ...
Hey, I was just teasing you, and you admitted it directly. I don’t feel any sense of accomplishment at all!
The little girl, who originally had an innocent look on her face, suddenly widened her eyes, as if she was frightened.
Shen Jichuan was pleased by her expression.
A low smile played across his lips.
Shen Jichuan suppressed his burning passion and started talking about business.
"My mother wants to ask you, do you want to hold a banquet in the county town?"
Shen Jichuan is worthy of being from the army, he has always been good at "hitting the ball straight".
In one sentence, simple and clear, no beating around the bush.
The Shen family is no longer the Shen family of the past.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xia Pingshan's family was trying to show off to his younger brother Xia Pinghai when they did this.
Both of them have daughters. Xia Pinghai's daughter married well, and Xia Pingshan was not to be outdone.
In other words, the Shen family suffered a complete misfortune this time.
If Shen Lao San had not married Xia Keqing, perhaps the Xia family would not have done this.
Shen's father and mother have a close relationship with Xia Pinghai and his wife, but this matter involves the face of both parties, so they have to take it into consideration to some extent.
In order not to hurt the relationship, Shen's mother asked her son to come to Xia Keqing in person to hear what the future daughter-in-law meant.
Even if she wanted to hold the wedding banquet in the county town, they agreed.
There’s nothing we can do about the ideas of the eldest and second oldest families.
Who made the third brother so successful?
The third brother is promising, so it is only natural that his marriage will be more grand than that of his two older brothers.
Xia Keqing was stunned. She didn't expect that her future husband's family would value her so much?
She looked at the serious old man again and suddenly understood.
It’s better to say that he values Shen Jichuan than to say that he values her.
But there is nothing wrong with husband and wife being one.
Since people were speaking directly to her, it would seem insincere if she beat around the bush.
She shook her head, "No."
Shen Jichuan frowned, "Don't worry about the money."
Xia Keqing shook her head again, "It's not a matter of money, just proceed as planned."
Seeing that the old man was still puzzled, she explained: "The original plan is very good. There is no need to waste money because of others changing the plan."
“Chen Jichuan, do you care about other people’s opinions?”
Shen Jichuan was startled.
Other people's eyes?
He never cared.
A soldier's duty is to obey.
If you disregard your superiors' orders because of other people's eyes, what's the point of being a soldier?
At this moment, he suddenly understood, and his gaze towards the little girl became more and more passionate.
"Okay, I understand."
Xia Keqing looked at the man's angry eyes, raised the corners of her lips and smiled, moved closer, and before he could react, she pushed him hard again.
Shen Jichuan had never seen such a woman before.
She suddenly came closer, and the tip of his nose seemed to be filled with the girl's warm body fragrance. He thought she...
As a result, he was suddenly pushed, and the steel-like man lost his balance and almost fell down.
The little girl covered her lips and laughed, her petite body trembling slightly.
Shen Jichuan: …
The little girl is very naughty!
…
The next morning, Chen Lan got up and glanced towards her third brother's room as usual. As expected, her third brother was not in the room.
In Shen Lan's opinion, the third brother was simply asking for trouble.
This is not a military camp, but home. He gets up at five o'clock every morning to run around the village. He eats quickly after coming back. He is incredibly self-disciplined.
Is he also planning to get up at five o'clock for the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow?
That's really...
When Shen Lan thought of this, she couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, the light at the door suddenly dimmed. Shen Lan looked up and was frightened by the person in front of her. "Oh! You... Third brother, you didn't sleep last night and ran out to steal?"
Shen Jichuan in front of him looked very dark-eyed and looked very bad.
Chen Lan had never seen Third Brother like this before, and as she watched, she suddenly burst into laughter.
Shen Jichuan: …
Shen Lan laughed enough and began to tease her third brother, "Could it be that he is getting married soon and is so excited that he can't sleep?"
She said this while making faces.
My sister was partly right, but who was Shen Jichuan?
He is in charge of a regiment, and he remains calm even when faced with a huge crisis.
He certainly couldn't tell his sister, because he almost didn't sleep the whole night thinking about his little girl.
Seeing her third brother's expressionless face, Shen Lan felt embarrassed, "Tsk! Wait until my third sister-in-law comes home and I'll take care of you!"
"By the way, what did my third sister-in-law say? Should we also go to the county town to hold the banquet?"
Shen Jichuan shook his head, "She said no, just proceed according to the original plan."
Shen Lan looked puzzled, "Is she stupid?"
"It's not like we can't afford it, so why don't we go into the city and do it? It'll save us a lot of trouble!"
In fact, outsourcing the banquet does save time and effort. Even if you spend a little more money, you can still earn more face in return.
However, the purpose of a rural banquet is generally to create a lively atmosphere.
In addition, in that era of material scarcity, this meal could bring many benefits to the villagers.
That’s why the Shen family decided to save the money and do it themselves.
Almost everyone in the village comes to help.
A chef who can cook will always pick, wash and chop vegetables, while a chef who can’t cook will always pick, wash and chop vegetables.
There is special meaning in having a lively banquet together.
But now, the whole village's attention is on the Xia family.
Now most people are beginning to wonder what kind of son-in-law Xia Da's daughter found, who could even hold a wedding banquet in the county town and charter several large vans to go into the village, saying that he was taking all the villagers to the county town for the banquet.
This is definitely a big deal.
Shen Jichuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, "She doesn't care about these."
Shen Lan said, “How stupid.”
In fact, my impression of this third sister-in-law has become better. I can't hide the smile on my face. "Have you told my parents?"
Shen Jichuan nodded.
Just as he turned to leave, Chen Lan stopped him, "Third brother, do we need to choose a special day to get the marriage certificate? Or why don't we go to the county town to get the certificate today?"
As the sister-in-law and the third brother's biological sister, Shen Lan was afraid that such a good sister-in-law would run away.
At this moment, Chen Ju came over. She couldn't help but gently pushed her sister, "What are you talking about? Mother specially asked someone to check the date, how can you change it just like that?"
Chen Ju and Shen Lan look about 50% similar.
Both of them have oval faces. Maybe because of pregnancy, Shen Ju gently stroked her waist with one hand. Her face looked rounder and her expression was softer. She looked very gentle.
"Third brother, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. Since the Xia family's sister doesn't mind, let's do as we agreed. As for other families, what does it have to do with us?"
Maybe because she is a few years older, Shen Ju is more calm and gentle in her dealings with others, unlike Shen Lan who is so radical and childish.
Facing her pregnant sister, Shen Lan's momentum instantly dropped significantly.
Unlike the third brother, with whom he and his older sister had not gotten along much since childhood, his older sister was the one who grew up together.
Chen Lan instantly became as obedient as a kitten.
Only after Shen Jichuan left did she quietly pull her sister's sleeve, "Sister, shall we go to the county town? What do parents say?"
Chen Ju: "Go, of course we have to go, let's go and broaden our horizons."
Shen Lan's eyes suddenly lit up!
But looking at her sister's belly which had not yet bulged, she said, "Sister, if you want to go, ask Third Brother to invite you another day. There are so many people going this time, you'd better not go, or you might get hurt."
Shen Ju stroked her belly, thinking.
"Okay, then I'll tell mom that I'm not going, and you stay home with me."
Shen Lan: ...
