"Dad, I don't have the time to do all these things myself. Besides, if I cook for myself... I will starve to death."
Although Ye Changning can cook, his cooking skills are just average and can only be eaten.
I haven't cooked for myself since I left home.
Zhang Xue said, "Third brother is so busy now, it's good enough that he can eat on time. Dad, don't say you are lazy. When we go home this time, we will hire an aunt to cook for us, so my mother won't have to work so hard."
Miao Cuifang: "I don't need to. I usually go to the school next door to teach a few classes. I have time to cook for the children."
Ye Changqing said, "You should hire one. Xiaoxue has to go to night school. My second daughter-in-law will give birth soon when I go back this time. You have to go there in advance to accompany her and take care of her during the confinement period. If you find one early, you can observe the products. If you rush, you won't be able to find the right one."
Ye Changqing's words made sense. Miao Cuifang thought so too and did not refute it.
Originally, Li Guilan had relatively little time at home, but now that Miao Cuifang was gone, she had to look after both families, and also had to take care of the children's grandparents, so she couldn't leave either.
So it’s really important to find a cook as early as possible.
Fortunately, there are many unemployed people in the city who can cook. As long as the money is right, there will definitely be many people willing to do this job.
Ye Changning agreed with his brother's idea and said to Li Guilan, "If mother is too busy, we can hire someone to take care of grandpa and grandma."
Li Guilan: "Since you are not at home, I just clean up the house and feed the animals. I don't need any help from others."
Although none of Ye Jianye's children were engaged in business, they all had stable jobs.
Moreover, the two families were originally one, and the front and back yards were not considered separate families. Ye Changqing and Ye Changning would usually give money to Uncle 꺶.
Therefore, the Ye family and the Fang family are getting better and better.
Li Guilan knows that her mission is to take care of the family and is already very satisfied with her current life.
Being able to eat well and wear warm clothes was something we could not imagine before.
Ye Changqing actually wanted to bring his grandparents and uncle and aunt to the city, but his grandparents didn't want to go and wanted to stay in the village, so his uncle and aunt would have to take care of them.
The chat at home ended here, and Ye Changning arranged for the family to sit down and have dinner.
After dinner, Miao Cuifang discussed with her two sons the dowry to be prepared for Xiaoxiao.
She and Ye Changqing had made some preparations. Although the money was not much, it was a token of their thoughtfulness.
"I'm glad you can come to Xiaoxiao. You don't know how many companies she has now and how rich the hospitals are. Many of my partners have come to me for backdoor services.
So, money is not important, and she has enough of it.”
Ye Changning travels around, but he still spends a few months in Beijing every year, so he knows Ye Xiaoxiao's current situation very well.
Miao Cuifang: "Then what do you think is the most important thing?"
Ye Changning: "Of course it's a token of my appreciation."
Ye Jianguo: "Then how do you express your feelings?"
Ye Changning: "Give me money."
Ye Jianguo wanted to fight again, but Ye Changning called him out in advance, "My way of expressing my feelings is to give you money. I was right."
Miao Cuifang: "I prepared a set of gold jewellery for Xiaoxiao, but I don't know if she likes it."
Xiaoxiao seems not to want to wear jewelry, but gold is something that is pleasing to the eye even if you don't wear it.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao will definitely like it. You don't need to buy jewelry, why not just give her gold bars?"
Ye Changning was telling the truth, but Cheng received a cold stare from his mother.
"Giving gold bars as a present is so vulgar. It would still be nice if they were made into jewelry."
Ye Changning said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao will like whatever you give her."
Miao Cuifang: "That won't work. Although Xiaoxiao doesn't want anything from our family, we still have to give her the best."
Ye Changning: "Anyway, you are already prepared, it will not be in vain."
…
The fashion designer brought the wedding dress to Lu's house for Ye Xiaoxiao to try on.
Two sets of clothes and jewelry, one complicated and one simple.
The designer came to measure Xiaoxiao's size before.
So the clothes fit well and Ye Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied.
Old Lady Lu also nodded, "Not bad, not bad, we Xiaoxiao look good in anything."
This was not what the old lady said before. She was worried that the wedding dress was inappropriate and would ruin the wedding, so she was unhappy for several days.
"Grandma, you've seen enough, I can take off my clothes now."
The weather is still a bit hot now, and it's not very comfortable to wear.
And the tassel crown on the head is a bit heavy.
There is air conditioning in the hotel in Jingcheng, so there is no need to worry.
"It's so beautiful. It's a shame to only wear this dress once."
When Mrs. Lu saw Ye Xiaoxiao's appearance, she thought of her youth. She didn't have such a grand banquet at that time.
I met Mr. Lu several times in the war zone and established a deep revolutionary friendship with him. I never thought that I would be able to spend my whole life with this man.
We also had children. Although we only have one son left, there is peace now and the country is gradually becoming stronger.
Now my grandson is also going to get married.
That's great.
"Grandma, why are you still crying?"
Seeing old lady Lu's eyes full of tears, Ye Xiaoxiao hurried forward to ask.
Old Mrs. Lu clapped her hands and said, "Grandma, I'm fine. I'm happy!"
Lu Han came out from the upstairs after changing her clothes and just happened to see Xiaoxiao wearing a red dress with her head lowered.
He didn't come out immediately and stood on the stairs for a while.
When Ye Xiaoxiao raised her head, she saw the person opposite her.
Lu Han was wearing a dark blue men's suit, which was very similar to a Western suit or a Chinese suit, but also had some differences. The cut was three-dimensional, showing off the advantages of his figure.
"Come on..."
Ye Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and lip-synced.
Lu Han then slowly walked over.
"Don't get excited, grandma. You're about to cry now. What will you do when I serve you tea on the wedding day?"
"Don't talk nonsense, little brat. Grandma won't cry."
Old Mrs. Lu burst into laughter and patted her grandson on the back.
"You and Xiaoxiao stand together so grandma can have a good look at you."
Lu Hanxiao gave Xiaoxiao a look that said “I did a good job, didn’t I?”, then walked over, put his arm around Xiaoxiao’s shoulders, and stood together.
"Okay, okay, what a perfect match."
Mrs. Lu urged Mr. Lu to get the camera at home, "Go get the camera and take some photos of the two children."
When Mr. Lu saw that his wife was fine, he went to get his camera and took pictures of not only Lu Hanxiao but also Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao also took a photo with her grandparents.
"Grandpa and grandma are really good, it will definitely look good after washing."
"It's better to be slender."
Old Mrs. Lu and Xiaoxiao praised each other.
The wedding dresses have been tried on, the banquet has been booked, and relatives and friends have been notified.
Ye Xiaoxiao was not nervous when she got the marriage certificate, but as the wedding approached, she was a little nervous.
Maybe there will be a lot to face by then, and this is her first time.
