I followed the bride to the groom's house and sat for a while, and then the relatives and friends of both sides went to a restaurant together.
Lin Yaowen's family is relatively well-off, and just looking at the scale of the banquet, it is clear that not everyone can afford it.
When Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou arrived, Zheng Peilan saw her at a glance and stood up and walked towards her.
Meng Xunzhou called out obediently, "Aunt Zheng."
"Xunzhou, if Xiaoqi hadn't told me that she saw you and Shishi together, I would have been worried. There are so many people here today, and you're still running around."
Although Zheng Peilan was complaining, her face was full of smiles.
Song Shishi took Zheng Peilan's arm and shook her body coquettishly, "Mom, I didn't."
Meng Xunzhou just stood there with a faint smile on his lips, not daring to say anything.
If I say something at this time, I will definitely offend one of them.
...
...
For him, he could not offend either of the two people in front of him.
"Auntie, sister, Brother Meng, let's go over and sit down. The wedding ceremony will begin soon."
Xu Li came over and reminded quietly.
Song Shishi suddenly remembered, isn’t Lin Yaowen Su Yaqin’s cousin?
Why haven’t I seen Su Yaqin and her family yet today?
As she followed Zheng Peilan towards their table, her eyes quickly scanned all the tables.
Xu Li realized what Song Shishi was looking for. After sitting down, she came over and said in a low voice, "I just looked for it, but Sister Qin and brother-in-law didn't seem to be here."
Song Shishi frowned.
The last time Su Yaqin came to her house for dinner, she seemed to have mentioned that something went wrong at her brother-in-law Li Chengde's factory.
At that time, she just thought that the problem had been solved, and the reason why the matter of opening a store in Beijing was put on hold was because it required a turnover period.
But now they can't even come to the wedding, which means the problem has not been resolved.
"I think he's in trouble. I'll call him later and ask him about it."
"good."
Xu Li was also worried.
To be honest, apart from her brother and Song Shishi, the one who treats her best is Su Yaqin.
Although she knew that Su Yaqin was nice to her only because she benefited from Song Shishi's kindness, this did not affect her gratitude towards Su Yaqin.
After leaving the hotel, Meng Xunzhou drove the car, Song Shishi sat in the passenger seat, and Fu Shuxian, Zheng Peilan, Meng Xiaoqi and Xu Li sat in the back seat.
Hearing that Song Shishi was going to find a house and move out, Fu Shuxian glanced at her son and asked, "Shishi, didn't you just return to the city? Why don't you live at home?"
Zheng Peilan was also shocked because Song Shishi had never told her about this.
"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me?"
There was a hint of complaint in Zheng Peilan's tone.
"I was originally planning to ask first and then tell you about this. Xunzhou told me today that there was a suitable house, so I thought I would take a look at it first." Song Shishi explained.
But Zheng Peilan was obviously not relieved.
Song Shishi turned around and faced Zheng Peilan. "My job is special and I may need to work overtime at any time. It's not convenient to commute to get off work if I live at home. If I walk at night, you will be worried."
Song Shishi only talked about her work and didn't mention Xu Li at all.
Zheng Peilan thought about it and felt that what Song Shishi was thinking was indeed correct.
Nowadays, there are often those shady people hanging around on the streets. If Song Shishi comes home alone after get off work late at night, she might run into them.
"Since we are going to look at the house, would you like me to go with you?"
"No need, Mom. Xunzhou will accompany Lili and me. Don't worry."
Zheng Peilan was confident that Meng Xunzhou could do the job, so she didn't insist.
Fu Shuxian also heard that her son was so enthusiastic about Song Shishi's matter, so she didn't ask any more questions.
He was still advising Zheng Peilan to be more positive.
"Don't take it too seriously. Before, you always said you felt sorry for Shishi suffering in the countryside. Now, she's back in the city to work. If you miss her, you can always ask her to come home for dinner or visit her. It's convenient."
After that, Fu Shuxian whispered in Zheng Peilan's ear, "Besides, my son has been transferred back now. You were always worried that Shishi would have aversion to the idea of child marriage. Look, isn't everything going well now?"
Zheng Peilan's eyes swept over Meng Xunzhou who was concentrating on driving in front of her.
In Zheng Peilan's eyes, Meng Xunzhou is the child she has watched grow up, and he is also the best boy in Yard No. 1.
She would definitely be willing to have Meng Xunzhou be her son-in-law.
But on the other hand, she was worried that the two children would not want to interact with each other, and she was also afraid that their relationship would develop too quickly.
Now it seems that Meng Xunzhou definitely has that kind of thoughts about her daughter Shishi, otherwise, with this boy's personality, he would definitely not rush to help.
But she couldn't see clearly what her own daughter was thinking.
Meng Xiaoqi and Xu Li listened to the two elders whispering, looked at each other, and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed.
Seeing that Zheng Peilan had calmed down, Song Shishi turned around and looked straight ahead.
After Meng Xunzhou sent Zheng Peilan, Fu Shuxian, and Meng Xiaoqi back to Courtyard No. 1, he turned the car around and waited for Song Shishi and Xu Li to go and see the house.
Meng Xiaoqi originally wanted to go, but Fu Shuxian wouldn't let her, saying that she hadn't finished her homework yet, so Meng Xiaoqi had to give up.
The house Meng Xunzhou was talking about was an ordinary courtyard house.
Although it’s not big, it’s completely sufficient for Song Shishi and Xu Li to live in.
The owner of the house was a woman in her thirties or forties with fashionable curly hair. Judging from her clothes, she didn't look like a rich person.
The owner and his family are planning to move out of town, which means he may be anxious to sell the small courtyard house.
"Let me tell you, although my house is not big, its location and sunlight are both quite good."
"If our family wasn't planning to move out of town, we would definitely not be willing to sell this house."
The female landlord took them around the courtyard and talked a lot.
This house is really nice and Song Shishi is very satisfied with it.
"Let me tell you, you're not the only ones looking at this house. If Xiao Meng hadn't been introduced by my eldest brother, I'm afraid my house would have been sold before you even saw it."
The female landlord saw that after she had talked for a long time, Song Shishi and the others didn't react at all, so after bragging about the house, she started bragging about how popular it was.
"How much do you plan to sell this house for?"
Song Shishi asked the price calmly.
Hearing this, the landlady rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Since you were introduced by an acquaintance, I won't ask for more. Just give me 25,000."
Meng Xunzhou, who was looking around, heard the price and turned back to look at the landlady. "Sister, your price is too unfair. Look, your house is the smallest in the area. The walls and the ground outside the kitchen are all black. Your stove must be emitting smoke. In the middle of winter, how can we stay in the house without lighting the stove?"
Meng Xunzhou pointed out the problems of the house one by one, and said that even if he bought it, he would have to spend a lot of money to renovate it.
The landlady's face darkened at what he said, but she couldn't refute it.
"So what's your price?"
The landlady frowned and asked through gritted teeth.
Meng Xunzhou glanced at Song Shishi and said, "Fifteen thousand."
Song Shishi blinked and said nothing.
She never expected that Meng Xunzhou was so good at bargaining. He managed to get the price down by ten thousand yuan.
The landlady raised her eyebrows and said, "No, if I give you 15,000, I will lose a lot of money. At least 23,000, no less."
Song Shishi was afraid that Meng Xunzhou would say something else that would annoy the female landlord, so she said, "How about this, I'll pay 18,000, and we can both make some concessions?"
The landlady looked back and forth between Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou, hesitant.
"Knock, knock, knock... Sister Xu, are you home?"
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, there was a knock on the door.
Hearing this man's voice, the landlady's eyes lit up, and the next moment she looked at Song Shishi again.
