It was already past nine o'clock, and Grandma Zhang, Aunt Zhao, and Lin Cuiping were all there. After looking around, there was no man except Xie Mingcheng, an 18-year-old boy!
Xie Yunshu changed into her cheongsam and came out, everyone was amazed. Lin Cuiping stared at her slender waist for a long time, her face heavy, "Don't persuade me for a while, I can't eat anymore..."
Her curly hair was loosely tied up behind her head, with two curled strands of hair flowing down beside her cheeks. She also drew her eyebrows and put on lipstick. Her fair face looked even whiter with just a little powder on it.
Li Fenlan also smiled, but before she could even last a minute, she quickly grabbed Xie Yunshu and said, "Yunshu, no one is in charge today!"
In the Xie family, Li Fenlan is very young, and Xie Mingcheng is the youngest, so Xie Yunshu has always been the one who makes the decisions. But today is her engagement party, and according to the rules and etiquette, she has no right to speak today.
Xie Yunshu hadn't thought of this either: "Mom, then you decide."
Li Fenlan was so nervous: "Hey, there's not even anyone to drink with you..."
There was the sound of a car outside. Li Fenlan's face froze. "Are they here? Oh no, I'll ask Cuiping to go to the packaging factory and bring back your Uncle Zhao and Uncle Lin..."
It's not nice to ask neighbors to drink with you since they are not relatives or friends, but it's better than nothing.
Xie Yunshu frowned and was about to speak when someone came into the courtyard, but it was not Shen Subai and the others.
"Xie Yunshu, didn't I sit at the main table for the engagement?" Ji Siyuan was dressed quite formally today, with black trousers and a white shirt, and his hair was combed neatly. He looked around and said, "I knew Shen Subai couldn't come so early."
Not only him, but also Ji Siyuan and Ji's mother.
Xie Yunshu was stunned: "You guys..."
She is getting engaged, why are all the Ji family members here?
Zhou Meizhen seemed to be in a much more stable mood than yesterday. She took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Xie Yunshu's pocket: "You saved Nian Peng, so you have a connection with us. We came here uninvited."
But they had only met once, so Xie Yunshu didn't feel comfortable asking for a red envelope: "Aunt Zhou, I'm already very happy that you came, so forget about the gift money."
"For good luck." Ji smiled and took out a red envelope: "Commander Shen and I are old acquaintances, but we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Today is a good opportunity for us to get together."
Xie Yunshu had no choice but to accept it and asked Xie Mingcheng to pour tea: "Uncle Ji, Aunt Zhou, then you go in and sit down first."
Li Fenlan was still concerned about the person in charge: "Cui Ping, can you help me go to the packaging factory to call for help? It will be too late if I don't go now."
Lin Cuiping hesitated a little: "Aunt Li, I heard from my father yesterday that there is a mobilization meeting at the packaging factory this morning. I wonder if I can take a leave."
Aunt Zhao also nodded: "Yes, I also heard from Lao Zhao that the packaging factory is going to carry out some reforms. Everyone went to work today."
"What should I do?" Li Fenlan was anxious. On such a happy day, she was the one who was useless and forgot such an important thing.
Xie Yunshu comforted her: "It's okay, we won't drink."
Ji Siyuan asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Lin Cuiping quickly expressed Li Fenlan's concerns, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "No, I'll sit at the men's table and drink two bottles of white wine!"
It was just a joke, no one took it seriously.
Ji Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and took the initiative to speak: "Mother Yunshu, if you don't mind, can I bring my two sons to sit at the main table of my mother's house? Siyuan and Si'an are not strangers, and Commander Shen and I have met several times."
Li Fenlan's eyes turned red: "How could I despise you? I can't thank you enough!"
Xie Yunshu moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing.
Ji Siyuan raised his eyebrows, then smiled: "I said that Shen Subai would toast me sooner or later! Xie Yunshu, you might as well be my sister. When we get married, I will make Shen Subai drunk!"
Let that cunning person act like a wolf in front of him every day!
Zhou Meizhen's eyes moved, she glanced at Xie Yunshu, and finally her gaze moved to the corner, where Nian Peng was smiling and teasing Coco.
Today, only children came alone, without any other friends, but he had a good time by himself. He did not clamor for Granny Zhang to accompany him, nor did he cling to children's arms like some other children.
Just like Si'an said, he was brought up very well and has integrated into this family consisting of only one old and one young.
Ji Siyuan's words were originally a joke, and no one really responded to them. However, when they saw the Ji family of four, Li Fenlan, who was originally worried about no one from her mother's family drinking with her, breathed a sigh of relief...
Today, all the workers in the building went to work, but the women who stayed at home all knew that Xie Yunshu's boyfriend was coming to get engaged. So while waiting for Shen Subai's car to drive in, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs came to watch the fun under the pretext of hanging clothes.
Two cars were parked at the entrance of the alley. The first person to get out was a guard in green military uniform. He got out of the car and then opened the back door. He was a middle-aged man with a badge on his shoulder.
His square face has hard lines, his eyes are sharp and serious, revealing majesty and decisiveness, his lips are tightly closed with the corners of his mouth drooping slightly, revealing an aura of majesty without even being angry.
The women who were originally chattering suddenly fell silent, looking at each other and exchanged glances: "This is Li Fenlan's relative, he looks scary, like he is a very powerful official?"
Su Qinglian, who was wearing a dark blue cheongsam, secretly patted him on the shoulder: "Why are you so serious? Smile more!"
Commander Shen pursed his lips and revealed an unselfish smile...
Secretary Jiang, who was sitting next to him, shook his head helplessly. My cousin-in-law is a henpecked man!
Chen Subai drove a car alone, with Tian Hao sitting in the passenger seat, but his trunk was full of gifts for the marriage proposal, and the neighbors in the building stretched their necks to see. Everyone knew that Xie Yunshu was getting married for the second time, so even if the man valued her, it would be great if he could give her a heads-up.
Although Shen Subai came frequently recently, it was useless to act anxious when dating, because it still depended on the attitude of the man's parents. Just like Lin Cuiping and Feng Qiang got along well before, but when it came to proposing marriage, they kept delaying and finally refused to hold a wedding banquet.
The trunks of the two cars were opened, and the guards and Tian Hao began to move things into the courtyard. Everyone stared and then took a deep breath.
Although Xie Yunshu's family had no male elders, the Shen family was very considerate. Two boxes of wine, two packs of cigarettes, and two boxes of high-end tea were all present. In addition to these, there were also bags of candies, melons, fruit cakes, malted milk...
Soon the Xie family's courtyard was filled to the brim, but that was not all. Su Qinglian took Li Fenlan's hand and smiled, "Time is tight. I asked someone to buy you a gift, but it should be delivered tomorrow."
Across many people, Shen Subai looked over.
His fiancée was so beautiful today that just by standing there quietly, she filled his whole world.
