Chapter 524 Relatives from Hometown
"You are about to get married, so don't think about these things." Chen Guilan knew Chen Guisheng and Xu Yue'e very well. They were too kind and always considered things from other people's perspectives, which made them passive everywhere.
Including her.
"If it weren't for Xiao Zhao being such a good person, we would have called off this marriage long ago." Chen Guisheng wasn't angry. "No matter what, as long as they live happily, that's all that matters."
"That's right. We originally thought that Xiao Zhao had many brothers and sisters, so it would be a good opportunity to find a live-in son-in-law. But who knew that his brother wasn't his biological brother, but only a cousin? Moreover, he didn't want to support himself in his old age and insisted on dragging him along." When Xu Yue'e was sober, she was also a reasonable person. "We are all parents, so we can't help but understand him. We gave in step by step, and it has come to this today."
"Actually, this is quite good. Just think of Xiao Zhao as someone who has settled down here. If Juan marries him, it will be easier for her to take care of you in the future." Chen Guilan comforted them. "Even if you're looking for a son-in-law to take care of you in your old age, you can't stop him from respecting his parents. Times have changed."
"That's the only way I can think of it." Chen Guisheng was a man who could think things through. "We were just talking privately. We're getting married soon, and I won't regret it because of these things. As long as my son-in-law is a good one, that's all that matters."
"That's true." Chen Guilan had a deep understanding of this. She now understood that it doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, the bottom of every family's pot is black. The Lu family looks bright and beautiful, but in fact, there are a lot of problems at home.
After talking about Chen Juan, they started talking about Su Jiaojiao's engagement. Chen Guilan did not plan to invite anyone from the Su family, so only the families of Chen Guisheng and Chen Guichang showed up, which meant there were only two tables.
But Chen Guilan didn't care. She just wanted to come back for a formality and let the relatives know that her daughter was engaged. It didn't matter how many people came.
She was even worried that Su Houli would cause trouble.
"Don't worry about the Su family. I told Chen Jiang and Xiao Zhao to keep an eye on them that day. They won't dare come over and cause trouble." Chen Guisheng was an experienced person and made thorough arrangements. "We'll order the return gifts from that Happy Wedding Shop. We don't care if the in-laws are from the capital or somewhere else. We'll just follow our local customs."
"Xiyun Wedding Shop is the best wedding shop in Jiao County, and also the most expensive." Xu Yue'e interrupted, "Juan also ordered from there at the time. Their gift boxes are also beautiful."
The engagement gift includes six items.
A pair of large steamed buns with the word "happiness" pasted on them, wedding candies, sesame oil fruits, fried dumplings, and fried dough chess pieces. They are sweet and crispy, very delicious, and are also the specialty of Jiao County.
In the early years, when families had no money, the hosts would make it themselves at home, which took several days. Now that living standards have improved, no one wants to take the trouble and they go to the city to make it to order.
After all, they are professionals and their products are better than what we make at home.
"Yes, I told my second brother to book theirs. It doesn't matter if it costs a little more." Chen Guilan believed in Chen Guisheng and Xu Yue'e. They were down-to-earth people and cared more about her affairs than their own.
Su Jiaojiao and Chen Juan were also chatting privately in the room. Chen Juan didn't have as many concerns as the elders. Instead, she was very optimistic about the future: "Xiao Zhao said that in two years, we will build a circle of side rooms in the yard, and we will reserve one for you. When you return to the village, you can live with us."
"That's great! Thank my brother-in-law for us." Su Jiaojiao also felt the happiness that Chen Juan described. "When we move to our new home, you must come too."
Chen Juan is in the village, and she is in the mountains.
We are used to living together.
"I'll definitely go if I get the chance." Chen Juan yearns for the Imperial City. "Xiao Zhao told me yesterday that Xiao Lu had already invited him, saying that if we go on our honeymoon we should go to your place. We don't have time for a honeymoon. We still have a lot of work to do in the fields!"
"Then wait until I get married, and you can go and have fun. By then there won't be much work to do in the fields, and the factory will be on holiday." Su Jiaojiao was very willing for her second uncle's family to attend her wedding.
"Jiaojiao, I didn't expect that you would get married in the same year as me. I thought you would get married very late!" Chen Juan knew that the Lu family had been urging her, but she didn't expect Su Jiaojiao to agree.
"The main reason is that Comrade Xiao Lu is old, so I can only accompany him to get married." Ever since Su Jiaojiao received the dividends from Comrade Xiao Lu, she felt that Comrade Xiao Lu was a very loyal person and they could continue to cooperate in the future.
"That's right. He's older than us. No wonder his family is worried." Chen Juan expressed her understanding. "Young people like Xiao Lu's age are almost all married."
Xiyun Wedding Shop delivered six wedding gifts the day before, and the gift boxes were all wrapped in festive red. Chen Guilan was very satisfied.
What she didn't expect was that all members of Chen Guichang's family were also attending. Chen Jiang said that her two sisters had also returned with their children and were going to attend the engagement party.
Liang Kun heard from somewhere that Su Jiaojiao was getting engaged, and came over to say that he wanted to go too.
Liang Kun has become a completely different person since getting married. He's darker, fatter, has a little belly, wears a gold necklace, has a very social vibe, speaks loudly, and generously gave a red envelope: "I will definitely attend Pepper's engagement. I haven't even met Pepper's partner yet!"
"You'll see him tomorrow." Chen Guilan looked at Liang Kun, recalling some past events with deep emotion, and asked him, "What has your father been doing recently?"
Lu Jingyou and Su Jiaojiao were not at home. They said they went out to see the sea view and planned to take a set of wedding photos here.
Chen Juan and Zhao Shunfa also went with them, and she didn't know when they would come back.
"He went to the south to run business. Anyway, he's been running around everywhere." Liang Kun replied with a smile, "I'll stick to my old business."
Liang Kun has been contracting the market for the past two years and has been doing quite well.
When people have money, they also have confidence.
"You've made a lot of money over the years." Chen Guilan had a very good impression of Liang Kun. He rarely returned to the community in the past two years. His mother-in-law helped them take care of the children, so they simply lived in his mother-in-law's house.
"It's okay, enough to spend." Liang Kun grinned.
Lu Jiahe came in the evening.
It was already past ten o'clock when we took the bus to Guolv.
It was his first time in Jiao County and he was full of curiosity about the place. He woke up at five o'clock the next morning and insisted on dragging Lu Jingyou to the beach to watch the sunrise.
Lu Jingyou wanted to sleep a little longer and refused to go. He also advised him not to run around: "We are getting engaged today. You still have the mind to watch the sunrise? Can't you watch it tomorrow?"
"I'm going home tonight. How can I have time to watch the sunrise?" Lu Jiahe stopped thinking about it when he saw that Lu Jingyou was not going. It was rare for the father and son to have such an opportunity to be alone together. He reminded Lu Jingyou, "You should also hurry back, otherwise your mother will be unhappy."
