Chapter 455 Things at Home
The two sisters were talking quietly in the room. Chen Guilan didn't want to interrupt them, so she whispered to Chen Guisheng, "Second brother, let's forget about the blind date!"
She knows Su Jiaojiao's temper better than anyone else.
It was New Year's Day, and she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness because of this matter.
"If I miss it, I may not be able to find a good young man like Old Xu's nephew again." Chen Guisheng felt a little regretful. Old Xu's sister and brother-in-law both work in government agencies, and he only has this one son who is a college student. His conditions are really good.
"That can't be helped. You only have one niece, so I can't give her to two families." Xu Yue'e said disapprovingly, "Of course, it depends on Jiao Jiao's own opinion."
"Okay, I'll tell Old Xu later and tell him that Jiaojiao has a boyfriend at school." Chen Guisheng nodded. He didn't expect Chen Juan to be able to persuade Su Jiaojiao to change her mind.
He saw all the gifts that Jiaojiao's boyfriend gave her, they were worth thousands of dollars.
It can be seen that the man comes from a good family.
"Yes, as adults, we can't take on too much responsibility for this kind of thing. It's fine as long as she is willing." Chen Guilan also gave up the last bit of hope. People were coming to visit during the first month of the lunar year, so she should not cause any other trouble on her side.
Chen Guisheng and Xu Yue'e nodded at the same time and said nothing more.
Su Jiaojiao calmly talked to Chen Juan about how she and Lu Jingyou met. They met while doing business and then gradually became familiar with each other.
"Then you two are quite destined to be together." Chen Juan listened carefully. "Did their family agree?"
"I agree." Su Jiaojiao thought for a moment before answering. Chen Juan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"I heard from my mother that you will get engaged after the New Year?" Su Jiaojiao asked Chen Juan again.
"Well, two months ago, he bought a house in our village. It's not far from our home, just across an alley." Chen Juan said with a bit of embarrassment, lowering her head. "That house cost 18,000 yuan, and it was just cleaned up a few days ago. Every time he comes to our village, he stays in that house."
"Didn't you live with him?" Su Jiaojiao joked with her. Chen Juan got anxious and explained, "How is that possible? We're not even married yet. My mom wouldn't let me go over there during the day, fearing gossip..."
"Okay, I get it." Su Jiaojiao smiled, "Why are you getting married?"
"They said they've already packed up the house and want to get married next year," Chen Juan said, a little embarrassed. "My parents agreed, but they haven't set a date yet."
"So soon?" Su Jiaojiao was quite surprised. She was only 23 years old after the New Year and she was going to get married?
That’s right, Chen Juan got married at this age in her previous life. She remembered it was in autumn, and her son was born the following year.
"That's fine!" Chen Juan also accepted the marriage. "It's neither too early nor too late."
She was silent for a moment, then continued, "Actually, we came here today because your second uncle wanted to introduce you to someone. The man is also a college student, and his parents work in government agencies. Now it seems that there is no need."
"My second uncle is so good to me. He always thinks of me when he has good things to do." Su Jiaojiao didn't blame Chen Guisheng. He didn't know about it. She just blamed her mother. "I already have a partner. I can't go on a blind date."
This matter shouldn't have developed to this point. As soon as Chen Guisheng mentioned it, her mother would have firmly refused.
Instead of waiting and watching her attitude.
"Well, we can't just look at the grass on the other side." Chen Juan expressed her understanding. "I'll talk to my dad and the others when I get back, and we'll put this matter to rest."
"I knew you were on my side." Su Jiaojiao smiled.
"Of course, a forced melon won't be sweet!" Chen Juan saw snowflakes falling outside the window and stood up. "We should go back. Let's get together again in the first month of the lunar year. I still have a lot to tell you!"
After her second uncle and his family left, Chen Guilan said to Su Jiaojiao, "I've told your second uncle to turn down the offer and not see him anymore."
"Of course I won't go to see him." Su Jiaojiao was unhappy. "What is wrong with Lu Jingyou? Why can't you accept him?"
"It's not that Mom doesn't accept him, it's just that he's too far away and she wants you to stay home." Seeing Su Jiaojiao angry, Chen Guilan hurriedly explained, "If you don't want to, forget it. I'll go over and accompany you next year."
"I'm tired and going to rest." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to quarrel with her mother as soon as she came back, so she went back to the bedroom and lay down to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already dark. The snow outside had stopped, and a thick layer of snow covered the roof and the ground.
Chen Guilan cooked her favorite red bean and millet porridge in a clay pot, boiled shrimp, and mixed it with cucumber and dried tofu as a cold dish.
Su Jiaojiao sat on the sofa, eating with gusto while watching TV. Chen Guilan sat beside her and chatted with her: "Your eldest uncle and your second uncle have reconciled. It was your cousin and Cheng Yu who persuaded them. Cheng Yu is such a good daughter-in-law. She even specially prepared a table full of dishes for the new home and invited me over to have a meal with your eldest and second uncles. She said that family members don't hold grudges overnight, and everything will be fine once they talk it out."
"How did you resolve the walnut tree issue?" Su Jiaojiao asked.
"Cheng Yu said it's half for each family." Chen Guilan praised Cheng Yu highly. "Your uncle and second uncle both agreed, but your aunt didn't want to. They even had a fight over it. They accused Cheng Yu of meddling in other people's business, but in the end they still listened to Cheng Yu."
"It's okay as long as we make up. You don't have to be stuck in the middle." Su Jiaojiao gave a thumbs up to her old classmate Cheng Yu in her heart.
"By the way, on your birthday, Liu Ying gave you a sweater vest, saying that she knitted it herself, and asked you to come back and play with her." Chen Guilan took out a gray sweater vest from the closet. It was made of mohair and had a sweetheart collar. It would look great if you paired it with a white shirt.
"After the New Year, I'll make time to visit her." Su Jiaojiao touched her woolen vest and continued eating.
After dinner, there was nothing to do, so the mother and daughter sat on the sofa and watched TV, chatting about Ding Mei, Xue Yan, and the sweatshirt.
"Juan has been making sweatshirts for so long that she already has customers coming directly to her store to pick up the goods. She has no worries about sales. Ding Mei, on the other hand, has also rented a stall at Hualian to do wholesale. Apart from selling goods to her for two or three months this year, I've had very little to do." Chen Guilan had already made up her mind. If she couldn't keep her daughter, she would follow her to the capital. "After the New Year, I'll go with you. I can't do anything else, so I can go do some laundry for you and even cook for you."
"That's what I thought, too." Su Jiaojiao was very happy. "It just so happens that I'm short of staff over there, and you can help take care of it over there. As long as you don't miss home, that's fine."
"Why should I miss home when you're not home?" Chen Guilan looked at her daughter whom she missed day and night and said with emotion, "From now on, wherever you go, I will go there."
That's how her life will be.
As long as her daughter lives a good life, she is fine with anything.
"Okay, then it's happily decided." Su Jiaojiao was very happy to hear this. "Cai Ting just happened to move away, and there's a place to live in Jinyuan. I dream of my mother being by my side."
The next day, Qin Shuang called Su Jiaojiao and learned that she had returned, so he said he would come to her house to see her.
Su Jiaojiao knew that Qin Shuang must have come here because of the handicrafts.
Qin Shuang is different now.
