He approached with a sinister grin, snapping his fingers in a fake threat: "Little sister, what's that look in your eyes? Are you looking down on your brother?"
The brother and sister have been in love and hate with each other for many years, and Xiang Lihua likes to tease Xiang Mianmian.
Xiang Mianmian wanted to run with her neck twitched. She didn't want to be caught and tickled under the armpits, which would ruin her image in front of her sister-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Lihua had just taken two steps when he was grabbed by Yang Yifei's long arm, pulled back forcefully, and then clamped his neck with the inner bend of his elbow.
What a smooth and fluid set of grappling moves, it stunned everyone present.
Zhang Jidi and Xiang Hongqi looked at each other and silently took a step back. If they hit him, they couldn't hit their parents-in-law.
Xiang Lihua, who had been abandoned by his parents, flushed and rolled his eyes, trying to pry his wife's arms open: "Wife, Captain, let go, I can't breathe. I was just joking with my little sister, I didn't mean to do anything!"
God can bear witness that he and Xiang Mianmian have become accustomed to this love-hate relationship. It's really a joke.
Hearing this, Yang Yifei looked at Xiang Mianmian's skillful dodging posture and loosened his arm a little awkwardly: "Don't bully a little girl, a grown man..."
The tone of admonition weakened when facing the frightened eyes of my future in-laws, and I didn't know how to continue.
It was over. She had gotten used to the training in the company. She silently withdrew her foot. Not throwing Xiang Lihua over her shoulder was already a favor to her husband.
The scene was eerily quiet for a moment.
Finally, it was Zhang Jidi who brought out the dishes and greeted the two with a forced smile: "Eat quickly, girls, try auntie's cooking. Son, you can have some too. Don't be disgusted by home-cooked food."
The family slowly began to sit down. Xiang Mianmian deliberately chose to sit between Zhang Jidi and Yang Yifei for double protection.
Xiang Lihua made a face at her when he sat down. Unfortunately, Zhang Jidi saw it and slapped his son hard: "You are an adult and you are still messing with your sister. Come on and eat!"
Under the pressure of their mother, the few of them finally had a welcoming banquet in peace.
The food on the table was politely called home-cooked, but it was definitely not a real home-cooked meal. A few delicious dishes were added to entertain the guests, and the whole family ate their fill.
Xiang Mianmian still felt that the food her mother cooked was to her liking, and she ate it with a slurping sound like a little hamster.
Even though she had just gotten off the train yesterday and her mother had cooked her a delicious meal, and she wasn't craving those dishes, that didn't stop her from eating Xiang Lihua's meal.
I'm busy with work at the research institute and don't have time to eat these things to fill my stomach. Now that I have the chance to eat, I'd better eat it quickly.
No matter whether body shape is important or not, after living her life over again, she has already come to terms with it and realized that body shape is the most important thing.
After finishing the afternoon meal, Zhang Jidi said with a kind smile, "Miss, I'll take you to live with my eldest son Xiang Liguo. We'll have our wedding the day after tomorrow and marry into his family, okay?"
This matter should have been discussed with the in-laws, but Zhang Jidi looked around and didn't see the girl's parents. He was afraid of asking about other people's sad stories, so he simply didn't mention it.
As for where to live, I can only discuss it with my future daughter-in-law.
Yang Yifei looked at Xiang Lihua and softened his tone: "Auntie, I'd better stay in the guesthouse. I won't bother my brother to clean the room."
She was used to being free, and living in someone else's house would always be a bit troublesome.
Even though he is Xiang Lihua's biological brother, she is a stranger to him, and she will return to the army after staying for a few days. Why make so much trouble?
Zhang Jidi had already thought about the option of staying in a guesthouse, but she was not allowed to bring it up, so Yang Yifei had to choose.
Because the daughter-in-law is about to move in, but he still acts like a stranger. He doesn't want his daughter-in-law to live in his home, and it always feels like he is looking down on her.
Zhang Jidi nodded when he heard this and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's get together with the family tonight. I'll call those children over to introduce them to me."
She had set the date last weekend, and everyone would be coming over for dinner tonight.
The wedding is coming soon, and Xiang Liguo and his family must meet their new sister-in-law and sisters-in-law, so that they won’t be unable to recognize anyone at the wedding.
The wedding was scheduled for the day after tomorrow because it was Sunday, everyone was off work, and there would be more people coming to celebrate and eat at the banquet.
Since the leave granted is so limited, and we can't pick an auspicious day, we can only try to pick a better day to make it convenient for everyone.
These arrangements have already been confirmed with Xiang Lihua via letter, so there is no need to elaborate further.
When she heard that she was going to meet the whole family, Yang Yifei didn't show any shyness or fear of meeting people like other girls. Instead, she said with great confidence, "Thank you for your help, Auntie. By the way, this is my gift to my uncle, auntie, and my youngest sister."
She took out three red velvet boxes from her luggage. They looked very luxurious and must be worth a lot of money.
The three members of the Xiang family were reluctant to accept it, so Yang Yifei stuffed it into their hands one by one.
