Chapter 274 Women's Comparison, Meeting Gift
Yu's mother's second sister said sourly: "This is not a wedding, it's just a reception for the prospective son-in-law whom we have never met. Is it necessary to be so grand? At the beginning, our family only had 18 kinds of treats for the son-in-law, and he is a full-time employee of a state-owned enterprise!"
Mother Yu was delighted and laughed, "My son-in-law is from the southeast coast. They are richer there and the etiquette is more strict than here. The eighteen things are not good enough, so the thirty-six things can barely be done. When Yunfei gets married, I'm afraid I'll have to get seventy-two things!"
"Hey! What kind of family is Yunfei looking for? I haven't heard you mention it before, and we were shocked when you suddenly notified us that Yunfei brought her boyfriend back." The speaker was Yu Yunfei's aunt.
In a county like theirs, only during the Chinese New Year do many relatives come to visit. Usually everyone is busy making money, and unless they are neighbors, it is difficult to see each other often, let alone know what is happening to their niece who is studying far away in another city.
Mother Yu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She said in a hoarse voice, "He's a lawyer. He graduated from a famous university and works in Beijing. His family is from the southeast coast. I haven't been there, but the child's father has been to see him. His family is very rich. They have several houses, a villa by the sea, and several stores. They drive a luxury car. They also said that Yunfei's boyfriend is tall and handsome. Anyway, I haven't seen him. You can come and see him later!"
Everyone had a look of surprise when they heard this, and then they all reacted and congratulated Yu's mother. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, their faces always looked impeccable.
Just as everyone was eagerly waiting, a private car stopped at the door of the Yu family. As soon as Yu Yunfei got out, she shouted loudly: "Mom and Dad, we are back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed out of the room.
Zhang Baiyan, who was carrying his luggage out of the car, was startled. Yu Yunfei was also stunned for a moment, then she reacted and introduced to Zhang Baiyan: "Baiyan, you have seen my father and my brother. This is my mother, that is my second aunt, that is my eldest aunt, and the eldest aunt, the youngest aunt, and those are my uncles."
Zhang Baiyan smiled and greeted everyone politely.
When Yu's mother saw Zhang Baiyan for the first time, her eyes lit up and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She hurriedly said, "Come on, come in and have a rest. We will take the things."
Zhang Baiyan didn't dare to let them take all the things, so his hands were still full.
A group of people entered the house, and Zhang Baiyan asked Yu Yunfei, "Where should we put the things?"
Yu Yunfei flipped through it, took some things to the kitchen, and left some things directly in the living room.
Yu's mother asked curiously, "What else did you bring back? So much?"
"Nothing, I picked out some small gifts for you in Beijing." Zhang Baiyan said, taking out a small handbag and said, "Auntie, this is the jade bracelet I picked for you."
"And these are skin care products for several female elders, one set for each person. I prepared a few more because I didn't know how many people there would be." Zhang Baiyan said as he took out another big bag.
When the women heard that they also had their own gifts, they were all surprised.
After distributing the gifts to the female elders, Zhang Baiyan took out a few bags and said, "Uncle, these are tea leaves bought in Beijing, which are called tribute teas. There are also a few bottles of red wine, white wine, and cigarettes."
Although Yu's father said it was a big expense, he still reached out to take it with a smile. When he took it out, everyone was extremely envious. It must be said that the packaging was definitely not cheap. It seemed that the owner was really rich. You could tell whether he had money or not just by looking at his hands.
Yu Yunfei's second aunt, who had been showing off her son-in-law before, no longer mentioned him. Her son-in-law came from a good family and had a respectable job, but he had never been so generous. The most gifts he gave to the couple were cigarettes, alcohol and tea, all of which were locally produced and could not be compared with what he brought back from Beijing. Not to mention the jade bracelet he bought for Yu's mother, which must have cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.
Mother Yu didn't understand, but she knew it was beautiful. She put it on with the help of Yu Yunfei's aunt and dangled it in front of everyone. Only then did someone hesitantly say, "Look at the quality of this jade bracelet, it should be worth tens of thousands!"
After hearing this, Yu's mother trembled all over. She looked at the bracelet in disbelief and asked Zhang Baiyan, "Baiyan, is this bracelet very expensive?"
"It's okay, not expensive." Zhang Baiyan smiled appropriately.
Mother Yu was still in deep thought when Yu Yunfei came out of the kitchen and said with a grin, "Twelve thousand is really not expensive for him."
A group of women's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this, and they all looked at Yu's mother's bracelet. A broken bracelet cost twelve thousand yuan, which was a waste of money!
No matter what they thought, no one would say anything, as it would seem that they were ignorant. However, Yu's mother's bracelet did look much more upscale than their gold bracelets.
It took Yu's mother a long time to digest this fact. She looked at Zhang Baiyan with even more loving eyes and kept asking him to eat.
Second Aunt couldn't help asking, "Bai Yan, your family is in the southeast coast. Aren't you going to go back there to develop in the future?"
Zhang Baiyan smiled and shook his head, "Yunfei and I both plan to stay in Beijing."
"Oh! Houses in Beijing are so expensive. I heard that a large toilet in a shabby house costs several million. Can you afford it?" Second Aunt blurted out.
When Yu's mother heard this, she became unhappy.
Zhang Baiyan said, "I have already bought a house in Beijing, within the Third Ring Road, 150 square meters, not too big, but not too small, with four bedrooms and two living rooms, which is enough for the two of us."
When everyone heard this, they fell silent, including Yu's father and mother.
Yu Zhi asked excitedly: "Brother-in-law, when did you buy a house? I don't think I heard you mention it last year!"
"Just a while ago, Yunfei and I were quite satisfied with the house we saw, so we bought it. It's convenient to have our own house, so we don't have to live in my sister's house all the time." Zhang Baiyan explained with a smile.
These words revealed a lot of information. Zhang Baiyan had already bought a house in Beijing, which showed that he was really not short of money. And Zhang Baiyan's sister had a house earlier than him. In the eyes of several adults, that meant that the Zhang family was really strong. Everyone looked at Zhang Baiyan differently.
Yu Yunfei's aunt quickly asked, "Bai Yan, did your parents say when they would hold your wedding?"
Zhang Baiyan looked at Yu's father and mother and said, "We need to ask uncle and aunt first. My parents said it's all right and they can prepare according to our schedule."
Yu Yunfei's aunt quickly poked Yu's mother on the back several times and told her to pick a time quickly, the earlier the better.
Yu's mother also wanted them to get married soon, but she didn't dare to speak casually about such a big thing. She could only look at Yu's father and asked, "Dad, what do you think?"
Father Yu pondered and said, "You are busy at work now, and it is quite tiring to go back from Beijing. My daughter is easy to deal with. She has to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so she still has some time. It's better to adapt to your schedule. How about May Day? You have a short holiday there, and we have time to prepare."
