When Xu Manman and the other two came back, the yard was filled with laughter and the smell of food.
"Dad! Mom!" Xu Manman rushed in and hugged her mother.
Chen Meiyu touched her daughter's head and said, "Nannan, you're back."
"Yeah." Xu Manman raised her head from her mother's arms and greeted the people next to her, "Hello, uncle, aunt, and third aunt."
Xu Gang saw his youngest son and asked, "Jianguo, don't you have classes this afternoon? Why did you come back with your sister?"
Xu Jianguo chuckled, "I just wanted to see you, Mom and Dad, since you're here. I'll still have time to go back after dinner."
"Okay, let's have dinner. Let's eat in the yard. Xiao Ming, clear the table."
The two families were used to living together, so Ye Rong didn't mind the formalities and directly asked her son to clear the table and start eating.
During the meal, Chen Meiyu praised Jin Zichu highly, "Zichu, today is so much thanks to you. They have to go to class, and you have been busy running around. You must eat more."
Jin Zichu took the dish from Chen Meiyu with the bowl in his hand and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
After praising Jin Zichu, Chen Meiyu turned to look at her daughter. "Zichu said you bought the refrigerator and washing machine. Nannan, how much did you spend? Do you have any living expenses left?"
She and Xu Gang have always loved their daughter, and they don't think it's bad that she spends money lavishly. They are just worried that she doesn't have enough money.
"Yes, I used the royalties I saved over the past two years, and there's still some left. Mom, have you seen it? That TV is in color, and the refrigerator and washing machine are also very useful. If it weren't for Zichu, I wouldn't be able to buy them even if I had the money."
Chen Meiyu said cheerfully, "Then we can enjoy the blessing of having a daughter. I saw the refrigerator and the meat is frozen like ice. We can also use the washing machine at night."
Aunt Ye Rong said sourly, "It's true that girls are introverted and boys are extroverted."
They have two sons in their family, and they have only had outgoing children, never incoming children. Why wasn't the first one born a daughter?
"At least your Xiao Ming knows how to find a wife. The two in our family are always messing around with cats and dogs and never come home. It makes me angry just looking at them." As she also gave birth to two sons, Third Aunt Lu Meihua has the most common language with her.
Speaking of finding a wife, Ye Rong also thought of the business. "The wedding day is in two days. Xiao Ming, have you booked the hotel?"
Although the Xu family's courtyard is large, they are not members of the Xu family after all, so the banquet cannot be held here. Now the only places that can undertake banquets are some state-owned restaurants, but state-owned restaurants are public, so it is not so easy to book them.
Chen Ming nodded. "It's settled. We've booked six tables in total for lunch, eight dishes, one soup, and one dessert. The food and meat are all included. This is all thanks to Zichu."
Chen Ming was sincerely grateful to his elder brother. During the National Day, it was difficult for ordinary people to grab a seat at a state-owned restaurant. Without him, his engagement and other things could not be arranged so smoothly.
"Zichu, Xiaoming and Manman are really relying on you to take care of them here. I won't say anything else, it's all in the wine." Uncle Chen Zhibin drank a glass of wine to Jin Zichu generously.
Jin Zichu himself could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and he would never spoil the fun when drinking. So, this meal suddenly turned into a drinking contest among four men. If Xu Jianguo had not had classes in the afternoon, he probably would not have been able to escape.
Those who drink eat slowly, but the women won't just sit there with them. After finishing their meal, some of them get down from the table and leave the battlefield to them.
Xu Manman looked at his brother and said, "Jianguo, you should go back to school early so you don't get late for class this afternoon."
Although the lunch break is not short, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, so Xu Jianguo can't stay at home for very long.
After sending her brother away, Xu Manman pulled the three women aside and said, "Have you seen the room I decorated? Do you like it? Is there anything missing? There's still time to buy it now."
Naturally, no one was dissatisfied. Even Lu Meihua said, "Nannan, Aunt San likes the room you prepared for her very much. However, the yard is too empty. I don't feel comfortable living alone. Zichu helped me move my things over, and I'll live here with you."
Xu Manman was mentally prepared for this. She cleaned up the third room out of respect for her third aunt. After all, it was her home.
"It's good. It's lively here together."
She thought that if her third aunt moved in, her eldest aunt would probably not be willing to live in the courtyard of the main house. However, there were no guest rooms here. However, she could live in a room with her third aunt or Xu Manman. After all, the room had a big bed and it wouldn't be crowded.
