Chapter 134 Chapter 134 The red bean filling in the red bean cake is as sweet as...
Cheng Yu was sulking.
Because Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were whispering in his ears.
Mrs. Xu:
"What a fool you are! You didn't even inform us in advance when you came to propose marriage to Lizhi... We were really panicked by such a sudden attack, okay?"
"Look! You don't have a single decent piece of clothing to wear when you go out! Luckily I brought your cousins here. Your cousin has a new suit that he hasn't worn yet. Try it on later. If it doesn't fit, your cousin and I will use needle and thread to alter it for you right away! Oh, God bless you, it must fit, and it must not be too short..."
"By the way, talk to your cousins. Have a good chat. We are all family!"
"Oh, by the way, we're going to Lizhi's house to propose marriage tomorrow. There will be six of us, and we'll bring eight bottles of Moutai, eight Zhonghua... a box of chocolate imported from Russia, a box of imported butter cookies, a box of White Rabbit milk candies, and a box of Beijing-style eight big items. Are these enough?"
"Also, Xiaoyu, what do Lizhi and her family usually ask for in terms of betrothal gifts? In addition to the three turns and one ring, if we offer another 888 yuan as a betrothal gift... will that be unfair to Lizhi?"
"Also, Xiaoyu, you and Lizhi are getting married. Where is the wedding room? Are we responsible for making the furniture?"
…
Mr. Xu:
"Xiao Yu, why are you asking about Chen Jing's father from the Land and Resources Bureau? I was in a hurry and I didn't know why you beat him, so I brought him here directly."
"Xiao Yu, your grandmother and I mean that when you marry Li Zhi, you can't live in her house, right? I don't mind whether there is a live-in son-in-law or not, but I think it's best for you two to live in the company after you get married. Living with your elders is a bit uncomfortable, don't you think? What about the house in Guangzhou? I'll arrange it for you. Which area do you like? Do you have any requirements for the house?"
"By the way, should I arrange a house for you in Beijing? You have to go there anyway! Oh, by the way, in addition to holding the wedding banquet in Guangzhou, are you two planning to hold the wedding banquet in Beijing? If you ask me for my opinion on this issue, then I definitely hope you can go to Beijing...Xiao Yu, getting to know more people will not harm you and Lizhi!"
…
This time, Cheng Yu's cousins also came.
The cousin is Xu Wensong, three years older than Cheng Yu;
My cousin is Xu Wenmei, she is the same age as Cheng Yu but younger than him.
They both have outstanding looks, and standing together with Cheng Yu, they look like real siblings!
Cheng Yu didn't want to bother with the old man and the old lady.
Quite uncomfortable.
He felt that he and the old man and the old lady were not that familiar.
But I can still talk to my cousins.
Xu Wensong said:
"Cousin, the old man is old and always likes to nag. You just need to listen to him on the surface, but in actual actions, just follow your own heart."
"By the way, I heard that you are going to Northeastern University of Technology soon? And you are going to study physics? God, you are so brave! Physics is as difficult as a heavenly book..."
"I'm not as good as you."
"I wasn't cut out for school, so I joined the army."
"By the way, I'm also in the Northeast. When your school is on vacation, come to the army to play with me! If I'm on leave, I'll also come to see you... I like playing basketball and fishing, how about you?"
…
Xu Wenmei said:
"Ah, you are only a few months older than me. I feel uncomfortable calling you brother. Why don't we just call each other by our names?"
"Cheng Yu, I'm a sophomore in Beijing now. I was among the first batch of students who passed the college entrance examination in 1977."
"But I'm studying liberal arts. Science is too difficult, and physics is even harder!"
"When we get back to Beijing, you must go out with me so that I can be proud of you... After all, I have a cousin who studies physics... No! A cousin who studies physics!"
"By the way, Cheng Yu, I heard that your girlfriend is also going to take the college entrance examination? What major does she want to choose? Clinical medicine? ... What major? Neurosurgery? Oh my god, this is a very difficult major! It's amazing!"
…
Xu Wenmei also told Cheng Yu that her mother, Ms. Tang Suqiu, had wanted to come this time, but unfortunately Tang Suqiu was ill and hospitalized, so she could not come.
"Grandma advised my mom that you and your partner are still at the stage of getting married, so there is no need for my mom to intervene."
"My grandmother advised my mother to take care of her health first, and then let my mother come to the wedding banquet when you and your partner go to Beijing. Only then did my mother agree."
Cheng Yu then asked Xu Wenmei what disease Tang Suqiu had and whether there was anyone to take care of her.
Xu Wenmei said openly: "My mother has breast cancer and has had it for many years. My brother is not usually in Beijing, but I am, so I usually go to see her every week."
"My uncle's relatives are taking care of her now... She has three brothers and two sisters, and they are all married."
"My sisters-in-law and sisters are very close to my mother. They are lining up to take turns to take care of my mother. Don't worry."
When he was in the Northwest, Cheng Yu found out that after his second uncle died, his second aunt Tang Suqiu remarried with the help of Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu.
But he didn't expect that his second aunt's reconstituted family...
Is it so harmonious?
Xu Wenmei probably understood Cheng Yu's expression and explained with a smile: "After my father passed away, my mother married Uncle Tao."
"Uncle Tao was also a widower at the time. He had two biological children, a son and a daughter, and he also adopted orphans from his comrades-in-arms. Two sons and a daughter, plus my brother and I..."
"To be honest, we are a big family made up of several families."
"No matter what, even if we are missing a father or mother, or even have no father or mother at all, we are still children with both parents."
"From childhood to adulthood, of course, there have been all kinds of bumps and bumps, and we have often quarreled. Fortunately, after growing up, we can still understand each other."
Then, Xu Wenmei said with a smile: "Cheng Yu, welcome to join our big family!"
Cheng Yu was infected by his cousin's smile and smiled, "Lizhi and I will join together."
Xu Wenmei laughed out loud.
Xu Wensong asked Cheng Yu in a low voice, "Cousin, why did you ask grandpa to call that guy named Chen from the Land and Resources Bureau? He's in the next room, and he's been shaking the whole time."
Cheng Yu told her about Chen Jing bullying Su Qianzi.
Xu Wensong and Xu Wenmei were stunned.
Xu Wenmei was stunned for a long time before she said, "Oh my God! Su Qianzi is really a heroine! She...she is the only woman in her unit? All the other men don't work?"
"Oh, I mean - the paperwork? She does it all by herself?"
"And those men also had some bad intentions towards her?"
"Oh my god! This girl is so amazing!"
"Cheng Yu, please introduce her to me tomorrow! I really want to be friends with such a brave and capable girl!"
Xu Wensong was furious, "What the hell are they doing? What on earth are those people doing?"
"Why is Hu Fangzhi so evil?"
"That Chen Jing isn't a good person either!"
"How can you bully a girl like this?"
"Cheng Yu, we can't let this go so easily!"
Then Xu Wensong went to find Mr. Xu angrily and relayed Cheng Yu's words.
Mr. Xu thought about it and told his secretary Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng agreed and went back to his room first. He called the president of the Urban Construction Corporation where Su Qianzi's project team worked and asked a few questions.
Then, Liu Cheng went to the next room to talk to Chen Lai Fu.
Yes, Chen Lai Fu, is Chen Jing’s father.
An ordinary employee of a district land and resources bureau in Beijing, with only a junior high school education, was finally promoted to deputy section level before retirement thanks to his many years of work experience.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will retire next year.
Chen Lai Fu was shivering.
Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year.
Early in the morning, the leader of the unit brought Liu Cheng to knock on his door and introduced Liu Cheng to Chen Lai Fu.
As soon as Liu Cheng showed his work ID, Chen Lai Fu's scalp suddenly tightened!
Liu Cheng also said that he was ordered by his superiors to take Chen Lai Fu to a place.
Chen Laifu was very nervous and asked a few more questions cautiously, wanting to know what happened.
Then he was scolded harshly by his leader.
Chen Laifu didn’t dare to ask any more questions, so he had to follow Liu Cheng downstairs, got on the special car, and headed straight to the airport???
this……
Liu Cheng wants to take him...on a plane?
God!
Chen Lai Fu lived a whole life, and when he was about to retire, he actually got on a plane!
But what is going on?
When boarding the plane, Chen Laifu saw Mr. and Mrs. Xu;
I saw Liu Cheng listening to Mr. Xu again...
Chen Lai Fu was frightened.
Of course he knew who Mr. Xu was.
Who doesn’t know about the founding heroes depicted on the posters?
Chen Lai Fu wondered, was it Mr. Xu's instruction that he was invited here by Liu Cheng and boarded the plane?
But,
How could Chen Lai Fu have such virtue and ability?
He thought about it all the way, but still didn't know whether this life was a blessing or a curse.
But what is certain is that since Mr. Xu is here, Chen Laifu has always stood upright and acted uprightly.
This proves that his safety is guaranteed.
In this way, Chen Lai Fu silently followed Mr. Xu and his group to Guangzhou and stayed in a very decent hotel.
He was put in a room and no one paid any attention to him anymore.
Now, Liu Cheng finally came to find him!
Chen Lai Fu felt a sense of fate that everything had settled.
Then--
Chen Laifu was stunned to hear Liu Cheng talking about how his third son Chen Jing bullied a young and helpless female educated youth, Su Qianzi, in the project team when he went to the countryside to work in the production team;
How did Chen Jing compete with Su Qianzi for the project manager position, and how did he target her after losing the competition?
In the end, the girl was forced to give up her bright future and apply to return to the city.
As a result, after the girl returned to the city, Chen Jing did not let her go. He even chased the girl to her hometown in Guangzhou and made a lot of nonsense, saying that he wanted to ruin Su Qianzi's reputation...
The reason why Chen Jing did this was because he wanted to steal the fruits of Su Qianzi's victory!
Not only that, Chen Jing even hopes to monopolize the girl for the rest of her life - because he likes the girl because she is pretty, her family has no power and influence and can only be controlled by him, and he also thinks the girl is capable at work, so he wants the girl to assist him for the rest of his life!
After Liu Cheng finished speaking,
Chen Lai Fu was stunned.
After a while, Chen Laifu said firmly: "Comrade, you must be mistaken! I know my son, he can't be such a bully! He, he is very timid..."
Liu Cheng smiled and said, "Be prepared, we will see him tomorrow." Then he left.
Chen Lai Fu was stunned.
He thought again, he and his son had not seen each other for many years. Could it be that his son had already become someone he didn't even understand?
On the other side, Cheng Yu called the guard room of the chemical plant’s family compound at the agreed time.
but,
The person who answered the phone was not Su Tiancai, but Su Tianli.
Cheng Yu felt guilty when he heard Su Tianli's voice, "Lizhi, I..."
He was quite distressed. "I, I may not be able to stop my grandparents. My... cousins are here too. My second aunt... was supposed to come too, but she can't come because she's in the hospital due to illness."
"Lychee, how about..."
Su Tianli suddenly asked him, "What are you doing this afternoon?"
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Grandma said that I shouldn't be too rude when I go to your house tomorrow, and she also blamed me for not telling her earlier and not preparing new clothes for me. So she brought a set of new clothes for my cousin..."
"She made me put it on, measured it, and made me take it off, and then she and my cousin altered the size."
"I said I could wear my own clothes, but grandma said no, and said that proposing marriage is a big deal..."
Su Tianli chuckled.
"Cheng Yu, do you know what I did this afternoon?" she asked him.
Cheng Yu: "I don't know."
Su Tianli smiled and said, "My dad is so annoying..."
"He told everyone that you would bring your family to our house to propose marriage tomorrow. Then he asked everyone what preparations they should make so that you and your family would not feel disrespectful."
"Cheng Yu, now everyone in the family compound knows that you are coming to my house to propose marriage."
"Aunt Cao is leading everyone to prepare a traditional novel with Guangzhou characteristics. When your family comes, she will treat them to a variety of snacks!"
Cheng Yu is not stupid.
He even knew Su Tianli very well.
After hearing what Su Tianli said,
Cheng Yu's heart suddenly started beating wildly!
After all, he had proposed to her countless times in private, and he even seduced her last night!
But when she encountered this topic,
Either they avoid the topic or they change the subject to something else.
Now,
This was the first time she didn't avoid the topic.
so? ? ?
Cheng Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He then asked softly, "Lizhi, can we... go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for marriage on the 15th day of the first lunar month?"
Su Tianli on the other end of the phone said nothing.
Cheng Yu waited for a moment, his high spirits slowly subsided, "If you think it's too fast, then..."
"Okay." Su Tianli's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Cheng Yu was stunned.
After a long while, he said incredulously: "Lychee... I, we..."
Su Tianli on the other end of the phone chuckled, "I said--"
"Can!"
Su Tianli said openly: "We can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register our marriage on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Cheng Yu opened his mouth in confusion.
He couldn't believe that happiness came so suddenly!
"litchi……"
He was so excited that he could only repeat her name, "Lychee! Lychee? Lychee... Lychee!"
He hated why he didn't stand in front of her now!
Otherwise, he could just hug her! Hold her up and spin her around! Spin her around as hard as he could, spin her around...
Su Tianli on the other end of the phone smiled, "Cheng Yu, see you tomorrow!"
Cheng Yu smiled foolishly and said okay.
After thinking about it,
He whispered to her, "Grandma said she would give you three roubles and one ring, and a dowry of 800 yuan. Grandpa said he would arrange a house for us in Guangzhou and Beijing, and he also said he would make furniture for us."
"I'll give you a lowdown first. Whether you're satisfied or not, we'll talk to them tomorrow."
Su Tianli was overjoyed. "Haven't you always...wanted to have nothing to do with them?"
Cheng Yu told Lizhi everything about his afternoon conversation with his cousins, "...so I don't think they are that annoying."
"They are all very thoughtful people, but because there are many brothers and sisters in the family, they are very tolerant and don't care too much about what other brothers and sisters do, nor do they ask them to do anything extra..."
"Lizhi, I'll bring them here tomorrow. You can get to know them. They're nice people."
"Okay!" Su Tianli responded with a smile.
At this time, Cheng Yu heard that Su Tianli seemed to be quite noisy, and someone was talking loudly:
"Lizhi, are you talking on the phone with Cheng Yu? Hey, how come you two young people have such a good relationship? You're together every day! You've only been apart for half a day today... and you have so much to say? Lizhi, stop talking on the phone and come over here to discuss with us which mold to use for the red bean cakes?"
Cheng Yu recognized it—it was Aunt Cao’s voice.
He felt sweet and happy in his heart, "Lizhi, go and get busy! We'll...see you tomorrow."
Lizhi's sweet and pleasant voice came from the microphone, "Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Until the sound of the microphone being hung up came from
Cheng Yu was reluctant to hang up the phone.
He held the microphone and smiled foolishly for a long time, his mind filled with Lizhi's words "Okay, then we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau on the 15th day of the first lunar month to register for marriage"...
until--
Cheng Yu was startled awake by the sound of a "puff" laugh.
He looked back and saw Xu Wenmei, who was covering her mouth and laughing secretly.
I also saw Old Mrs. Xu pretending to give Xu Wenmei a slap on the face.
"You know he's thin-skinned, yet you still laugh at him!" Old Mrs. Xu never had the heart to hit her granddaughter, so she poked her granddaughter's forehead with her finger and scolded her again, "Speaking of which, Xiao Yue is still more capable. She settled her lifelong affairs early, which makes her a good boy. Only then can we old folks rest assured!"
"Look at your uncle's brothers and sisters, they all got married early and even have children!"
"Now it's just you and your brother left! You're as stubborn as two bulls!"
"Wenmei, when are you going to find a girlfriend and bring her home for us to see? You are so careless that after this year, you will be 23 years old, and 25 years old!"
"Wenmei, if you don't have a date, then grandma can introduce you to one. I think the boy from the Zhao family..."
Xu Wenmei quickly threw the suit she had just altered to Cheng Yu, "Cousin, try it on! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away!
Old Madam Xu was so angry that she chased after him, "Xu Wenmei! Every time I ask you this, you run away! Why do you run away? Are you feeling guilty? Tell me, have you been secretly dating someone? Is that right?"
"Also, Xiao Yu is not your cousin! He is your cousin!"
"One day older is still a brother!"
…
Cheng Yu smiled while holding the suit.
= =
There is also chaos over at the chemical plant.
When Su Dejun heard that Cheng Yu’s grandparents were coming to their house to propose marriage tomorrow?
He was so anxious that he rushed out to buy some things to entertain his guests tomorrow.
But now it’s the Spring Festival!
There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, but there are no vendors setting up stalls... at all!
Su Dejun was so anxious that he was running around in circles.
Then he met Aunt Cao.
Aunt Cao saw that Su Dejun was still frowning during the New Year and asked him what was wrong.
I learned that Cheng Yu’s family will come to the Su family to propose marriage tomorrow???
Aunt Cao was stunned. "Cheng Yu's family... came from Beijing?"
Su Dejun nodded.
Aunt Cao continued to ask, "Is it that... Chief Xu?"
Su Dejun nodded again.
Aunt Cao slapped her thigh and said, "Leave this to me... No! Leave this to our entire family compound! After all, the chief is coming to our family compound. This proves that we represent the face of the people of Guangzhou! We can't lose face for the people of Guangzhou!"
"This yard must be kept clean!"
"We need to serve the leader some good tea! Dim sum must also be traditional and authentic! Only in this way can we show the hospitality of the Guangzhou people!"
that's all--
All the family members in the entire compound were mobilized by Aunt Cao.
As for Su Tianli, she originally wanted to advise everyone not to waste their forces.
But she was stopped by Yao Meiyu, "Someone is coming to propose marriage tomorrow, and you are like this?"
Su Tianli was puzzled, "Why is this happening?"
"Don't you want to dress up?" Yao Meiyu asked.
Su Tianli smiled, "I..."
She wanted to say that she usually paid attention to her dressing style, so her clothes... were not shameful.
Then how should I dress up?
Besides, she would rather meet people in her usual appearance.
"I have already met Cheng Yu's grandparents in the Northwest," said Su Tianli.
Yao Meiyu disagreed, "You have to wash your hair, too..."
“I washed it yesterday!”
"Then wash your face with rice water, and then apply pearl powder and egg white to your face! Repair your skin properly..."
When the two were arguing fiercely, Su Qianzi, who had eaten and slept well, came back.
"Sister, Sister Meiyu, what are you two arguing about? Also, why do Aunt Cao and the others want me to clean up properly too?" Su Qianzi asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Su Tianli grabbed Su Qianzi and said, "Come on, go wash your hair, then wash your face with rice water, and then apply pearl powder and egg white on your face! Repair your skin..."
But she, Su Tianli, can't be the only one being tortured!
then--
Su Qianzi washed her hair again in a daze, and then washed her face with rice water together with Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu, and applied pearl powder and egg white on her face...
The skin beautifying effects of Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu are not obvious.
After all, they both take care of their skin once a week.
But Su Qianzi has changed a lot.
She mainly unloaded all her burdens, ate her fill, and slept for a whole day and night...her eyes were a little swollen from all the sleep.
Apply cold compress to eyes,
Then I rubbed my face carefully with rice washing water that had broken rice grains in it.
I also applied a facial mask with pearl powder and egg white.
Finally, wash your face with clean water and apply the snow cream.
Su Qianzi's entire mental outlook was different.
She has a good foundation.
At this moment, my skin is smooth and my eyes are watery.
Yao Meiyu trimmed the dry and yellow hair neatly and beautifully...
Even her eyebrows were trimmed beautifully by Yao Meiyu!
Plus, the clothes that Su Tianli prepared for her sister were all basic styles that would enhance her temperament...
Now Su Qianzi,
Except for the slightly darker skin,
Except for being a little too thin, everything else is good.
Standing together with Su Tianli, they look like a pair of beautiful sisters.
During the whole process, Su Qianzi had been obediently manipulated by Sister A and Sister Meiyu.
because,
While the two sisters were taking care of themselves and Su Qianzi, they also talked about what happened today when Chen Jing spoke the truth after drinking and how he was beaten up.
Su Qianzi was extremely angry, but she also felt relieved in her heart - because she felt the favor and protection of her family.
Finally, Su Qianzi suddenly came to her senses and said, "Wait!"
"Won't Brother Cheng Yu bring his family to our house tomorrow to ask for my sister's hand in marriage?"
"Then Sister Meiyu, why are you dressing me up?"
"Tomorrow is my sister's big day, I can't take over the show!" Su Qianzi said.
Su Tianli smiled, "But tomorrow is also the day for you to vent your anger! Tomorrow, Chen Jing's father will also be here."
Yao Meiyu also said, "Right! We must let Chen Jing see that the little girl who is usually bullied by him... is not someone he can bully at all! Humph, our Qianzi must be pretty! Let him not even dare to look at you tomorrow!"
Su Qianzi was touched and happy, "I, I..."
"Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister Meiyu."
"But sister, your matter is more important."
"My business...it's okay to talk about it later."
Su Tianli smiled and patted her sister's hand, "It's okay, it's double happiness if we solve it together."
Su Qianzi widened her eyes.
She thought to herself, is this what double happiness means?
