Xu Manman also took this to heart and said, "Okay."
However, she now has an increasingly strong desire to ask her parents to move to Beijing with her. You know, in her previous life, she was a person who didn't want to go out during the holidays, especially the Chinese New Year. What she hated most was visiting relatives with her parents.
But now she and Chen Ming are the only ones in Beijing. Even if they don't want to go out, they still have to bite the bullet and go by themselves. If their parents or other elders are here, it will not be their turn as younger generations to step in.
The next day, Xu Manman left the space early. It was obvious that Chen Ming was a little nervous. When Xu Manman left the east wing, the door of the west wing opened immediately.
When Xu Manman saw the faint dark circles under Chen Ming's eyes, her nervousness disappeared immediately. The person involved was even more anxious than her. He must have not slept all night.
"Cousin, you...why don't you go back to sleep? It's still early."
Chen Ming shook his head and said, "No need. I won't be able to sleep if I go back." Actually, he had been to Zhang's house before. He had gone there once last time to deliver grapes. Moreover, Zhang's father and mother were both at home that day, and they sat down and chatted for a while.
Although he was a little nervous at that time, everyone was not so formal and was generally relaxed. But today, when he came to the house, everyone knew what it meant. He was not completely nervous, but more worried that he would not perform well and make the Zhang family think that he was unreliable and would not be willing to leave their daughter to him.
His worry was the same as Xu Manman's. Otherwise, these two might be siblings.
After all, it was the first time that the future son-in-law came to visit, so his image certainly couldn't be bad. Therefore, Xu Manman absolutely couldn't let Chen Ming come to visit with dark circles under his eyes.
She specially contributed her own liquid foundation to provide a layer of concealer for Chen Ming.
Today is not a blind date, so there is no need to dress to show off your figure. A slightly loose light blue short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, a belt and leather shoes will make you look fresh and steady.
Chen Ming was very confident in his cousin's aesthetic sense, so he let her do whatever she wanted. Even when she felt a little uncomfortable when the foundation was applied on her face, he didn't say no.
Xu Manman was dressed very refreshingly today, in a white chiffon top paired with a blue polka-dot suspender skirt. Her long hair was tied into a bun with a headband in the same color as the suspender skirt wrapped around it. She also carried a small black crossbody bag as decoration.
Now she is not afraid of the sun, she doesn’t even need a hat or sun-protective clothing.
At half past nine, the brother and sister packed the things they needed to take in a net bag, hung it on the bicycle, locked the gate and went to Zhang's house.
It was the first time for the Zhang family to receive their future son-in-law at home, so they were actually quite nervous. The couple got up early in the morning and started working, so even the three siblings had no chance to stay in bed.
At around six in the morning, Zhang's mother went out to buy groceries. When she came back, she took the children to clean up the house.
In fact, the house had already been thoroughly cleaned yesterday and was already very clean. Cleaning it up again today was just for Zhang's mother to seek psychological comfort.
At around nine o'clock, Zhang's mother urged Zhang Wenwu to go downstairs, "Wenwu, go and take a look, don't go the wrong way."
Zhang Wenwu was helpless, "Mom, didn't Brother Ming come here last time? How could he have taken the wrong road?"
"I've only been here once, so I might not remember. Go, wait at the street corner."
Zhang Wenwu couldn't persuade his mother, so he had to go downstairs to guard the person.
Mother Zhang at home didn't let the two sisters idle around either. "Wenjun, your clothes are covered in dust. Go back and change into a new one. Put on the red dress we bought at the department store. Tie your hair up too. It doesn't look lively when you wear it loose."
Zhang Wenjun looked at her yellow skirt. It was a little dusty just now, but it was gone after she patted it off. However, when she thought that Chen Ming would come over later, her face flushed. She listened to her mother and went back to change her skirt obediently.
Zhang Wenhua blinked, "Mom, what about me?"
Mother Zhang gave her second daughter a look and said, "You, go to the kitchen and help your father peel garlic."
Zhang Wenhua stomped her feet and said, "Mom, you are biased."
"Haha, when my second son-in-law comes to visit, I'll let your sister peel garlic too, okay?"
Zhang Wenhua walked into the kitchen and said, "Just wait. I'll buy a basket of garlic and peel it for my sister."
Chen Ming and Xu Manman came over there very quickly. There was not so much traffic jam in Beijing now, so the distance of more than three kilometers took only ten minutes.
From a distance, the two saw Zhang Wenwu, and they stepped on the brakes and slowly stopped.
Chen Ming asked, "Wenwu, why are you here?" It was already summer, and even in the morning, Zhang Wenwu was standing in the shade of the corner, but to be honest, it wasn't very cool.
