Xu Jianguo smiled and said, "Aunt, why don't you let my third and fourth brothers come? Why bother you to do it yourself?"
This made Lu Meihua laugh. "Your two brothers are still at work today. By the time they come back to cook for you, the food will be cold."
Xu Man's mother knew that her third cousin and fourth cousin were working. Her third cousin studied law in college and went directly to the local court after graduation and became a formal civil servant.
My fourth cousin also studied computer science. Originally, we wanted him to study abroad, but he was unwilling to go abroad at all. However, he was not bad either. After graduation, he went straight into the Hai City Computer Research Institute.
There are also my eldest cousin and second cousin who attended military school. My eldest cousin returned to his original unit after graduating last year and got married at the end of the year. Now his military rank has been promoted and he has been transferred to the Yangcheng Military Region, and my eldest cousin's wife was transferred with him.
Although she did not attend the wedding, Xu Manman specially prepared a gift when she came back this time.
There is also my second cousin. He also made contributions on the border. He should have returned to his hometown after graduation, but he was noticed by his superiors and transferred to the Beijing Military Region. Now his military rank is one level higher than that of my eldest cousin.
I called my aunt a few days ago and heard that my second cousin now has a girlfriend. He met her while he was on vacation. She is said to be a high school teacher, and the date has been set, two days earlier than Chen Ming's.
Yes, Xu Manman came back this time for another very important thing, which was to attend the wedding.
Not only my second cousin and Chen Ming, but also my third cousin and fourth cousin, all of them are single.
However, the dates for the weddings of my third and fourth cousins were set a little later, one at the beginning of next year and the other on May Day next year. Xu Manman would not be able to attend, but she brought back the gifts in advance.
Xu Manman asked her third aunt, "Will we be able to see my third sister-in-law and Jianan's wife this time?"
"They won't come today. Wait until the weekend and have Jianmin and Jianan bring them over for you to see."
"Aunt San has finally put down her burden. Brother San and Jian'an both have wives."
"It's not that easy." Lu Meihua felt a headache when she thought of Xu Jianan, who was not as mature as the youngest Xu Jianguo. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law seemed to be a straightforward person. She hoped that she could teach him a lesson in the future.
Lu Meihua thought of something and leaned forward to ask Chen Ming in the passenger seat, "Xiao Ming, have you asked Man Man's parents to decorate your wedding room in Beijing?"
Speaking of this issue, Chen Ming was a little embarrassed. "I asked Zichu to help me, and my aunt and uncle also helped me to check it."
"Then have you asked Wenjun to go and take a look? This will be her home from now on. You two will live here for decades, so you have to make sure she's satisfied."
"I've looked at everything. I let Wenjun pick out the furniture herself."
If you ask what Chen Ming was most busy with before returning to China, apart from preparing for graduation, it must be getting married.
The promise was to get married as soon as he came back, and Chen Ming did what he said. He asked Xu Manman's parents to come to his house to discuss the wedding date six months in advance.
The Zhang family is also very affectionate and loyal. Although Chen Ming has not been in Beijing for the past two years, he has always kept in touch with the Xu family. When it comes to getting married and holding a wedding, they are very cooperative.
The wedding date is set on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and my second cousin's wedding is on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, both of which are auspicious days for getting married.
Over the years, Chen Ming has saved a considerable amount of money in the stock and futures markets in the United States with Xu Manman, most of which he has remitted back to China.
First, he asked Jin Zichu to help buy a courtyard house. It was the one that Xu Manman asked Jin Zichu to leave for Chen Ming a long time ago. It was less than ten minutes' walk from Xu's house. He didn't buy it before going abroad, so it's not too late to buy it now. Since Chen Ming is not short of money, he bought it at the market price.
Of the remaining money, half was used for the wedding and the other half was given to Zhang Wenjun as a betrothal gift, which was considered as fulfilling his original promise.
Jin Zichu also helped to renovate the yard. It is worth mentioning that because building houses for the Xu family and Chen Ming was quite a big deal, Jin Zichu now has a small construction team.
Because of his high-level design skills and his one-stop service of design materials and decoration, he is quite famous in Beijing. Although his fees are not cheap, many people still come to him. It is said that his current orders have filled up the whole next year, and he makes a lot of money every year.
Speaking of career, Chen Ming had already secured a job before returning to China. He was working at the Beijing Computer Research Institute, and was also an associate professor at Peking University and Tsinghua University. Well, because he obtained a bachelor's degree in English before going abroad, Chen Ming studied for a master's degree abroad.
Moreover, the articles he published in China are of high quality and level, and his research direction fills a gap in the country. The starting point for an associate professor is not high.
