Chapter 136 Chapter 136 The red bean filling in the red bean cake is as sweet as...
Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu have a very good sense of propriety.
Cheng Yu and Liu Cheng took Chen Laifu upstairs.
The two elders waited downstairs with Xu Wensong and Xu Wenmei, chatting with the people nearby, represented by Aunt Cao.
Aunt Cao and the others finally saw the characters on the propaganda poster and were extremely excited, but they hesitated to tell the two leaders that the Su family upstairs was at war. They just spoke to the two leaders in trembling voices about Guangzhou's local customs, weather, climate, New Year customs, and food.
After a while, two police officers escorted Chen Jing out of the tube building.
Chen Jing was still yelling, "I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"
"What I said is the truth! Su Qianzi and I are in love... What? Is it illegal for me to be in love with her? Why are you arresting me? Why?"
He not only roared, but also struggled.
But the two policemen were young and strong.
But Chen Jing was very weak because he had been severely beaten the day before and had not eaten breakfast this morning...
Therefore, Chen Jing couldn't break free at all.
So he started to curse his own father again, "Dad! Save me!"
"Dad! Chen Laifu! Are you just going to watch your son being bullied like this?"
"Chen Laifu! Are you worthy of me? When you asked us to go to the countryside, I told you that I was not suitable for it at all! But you always wanted to treat everyone equally and insisted that my elder brother and second sister and I all go to the countryside!"
"You forced me to go to the countryside, and you refused to spend money to take care of things for me!"
"If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in such a barren place?"
"This is all your fault! It's your fault! And now you're going to watch me get taken away?"
"Dad! Chen Laifu! Did you hear what I heard just now? That bitch Su Qianzi said that not only would she send me to jail, she would also report me and make me lose my job!"
"Chen Lai Fu, are you just going to watch me fall into disgrace?" Chen Jing yelled at the top of his lungs.
Chen Laifu looked at his son helplessly.
"Chen Jing, you are right. I really want to treat you five brothers equally."
"I really can't handle this bowl of water evenly!"
"Because I'm too biased towards you!"
"Your eldest brother went to the countryside when he was 18, and so did your sister... When you were 18, what ability or reason did I have to let you stay in the city? Your younger brother and sister are 14 and 11 respectively. Tell me, should you let your 14-year-old sister who is only 1.3 meters tall go to the countryside for you, or let your 11-year-old brother who was only 11 years old and had hepatitis go to the countryside for you?"
"You blame me for not wanting to spend money to help you... But our family was in such a poor financial situation at the time. Your mother was hospitalized for tuberculosis and your brother was hospitalized for hepatitis. Fortunately, your brothers and sisters were able to send some money back every month, so your mother and your brother had the money to save their lives! Under that premise, do you want me to stop paying for your mother and your brother's medical expenses and use it to help you?"
"You always say that you went to that godforsaken place because I didn't want to spend money to help you. But you also know that your brother went to the border, and your sister went to Xinjiang and Tibet! Aren't they miserable?"
"Now your brother has come back. He has been away for seven years and has been promoted to the rank of section chief. He has already started working for the municipal government. With your brother's help, your sister will be back soon. She has been away for five years and has been promoted to the rank of deputy section chief..."
"Chen Jing, if you don't act like a demon, even if I, as your father, am incompetent, I can still help you with your brother and sister...as long as they gain a firm foothold!"
At this point, Chen Laifu took a deep breath.
"But what about you, Chen Jing?"
"At first you resented me for not spending money to help you, so you were slacking off at work... When you found out that your brother and sister had both been promoted, you started to envy them. You felt that your academic performance was better than your brother and sister, so you couldn't accept that they were better than you at work, so you hurriedly thought that you also wanted to be promoted, and you couldn't let them outdo you..."
"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have thought of harming the girl from the Su family, right?"
"Chen Jing, all of this is caused by you... You disappoint me so much!" Chen Lai Fu said painfully.
Chen Jing was so ashamed and angry that his face turned blue and red. "I don't care! Dad! If you don't help me, then I... I will die!"
Chen Laifu closed his eyes, then opened them again and asked weakly, "Then tell me, what should I do now?"
Chen Jing shouted, "Why are you asking me this? Go find Su Qianzi!"
"Go and beg her, kneel on the ground and beg her! Just ask her to have pity on you. She won't let you, an old man, send me off with your black hair..."
"If she doesn't agree, then you will die in front of her! Just say that she wanted to kill you on purpose!"
"If she still doesn't agree, you can go back to your hometown and bring my grandparents over. All of you should kneel down in front of Su Qianzi and beg her to forgive me and not to pursue me! If she doesn't agree, you will all die in front of her..."
"Dad! If you don't do this, I'll be finished!" Chen Jing said anxiously.
Chen Lai Fu's heart sank to the bottom.
It turns out that in his son's eyes, his parents' reputation and the life and death of his ancestors are not as important as his future?
Chen Laifu said word by word: "Son, you are finished."
"Not only are you finished, but you also got what you wanted... and dragged me down with you."
"In your eyes and in your heart, you're just angry about losing your great future."
"But son, have you ever wondered why I'm here?"
Chen Jing was stunned.
After a while, he asked Chen Laifu blankly, "Yes, Dad, why are you here?"
Chen Laifu's face turned pale. "Chief Xu brought me here."
Chen Jing was confused. "Chief Xu? Which Chief Xu?"
Chen Laifu laughed bitterly, "Who else in our Beijing city has the surname Xu who can be called the chief? That... the big shot you have seen since you were a child, the one who was drawn on the propaganda posters!"
Chen Jing opened his mouth wide.
At this time, two policemen were carrying Chen Jing out of the tube building.
Chen Jing saw at a glance that Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were chatting with a few people...
Chen Jing widened his eyes in shock.
"Dad! Dad, what's going on?" Chen Jing asked anxiously, "My business...how could it alarm Chief Xu?"
Chen Laifu, "How should I know? Yesterday, on the first day of the Chinese New Year, I was taken to the airport by Chief Xu's secretary early in the morning. After meeting up with Chief Xu, I flew here..."
Chen Jing couldn't believe it.
You know, the reason why he dared to bully Su Qianzi was because he was sure that Su Qianzi's family had no background or backing...
Just now, Su Qianzi's father admitted in person that he was just a porter!
That,
Why would Chief Xu help Su Qianzi?
Why is this? !
Chen Jing collapsed.
The two police officers who held him did not give him much time and half-held and half-dragged Chen Jing away.
Chen Jing couldn't understand why Chief Xu stood up for Su Qianzi, and he couldn't understand why Su Qianzi, with such a powerful background, would go to a project team with such poor conditions...
When Chen Jing saw the real Chief Xu walking out of the propaganda poster, all his energy and spirit disappeared.
He stopped struggling and let the two police officers take him away in a daze.
Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu waited until Chen Jing was taken away by the police.
And then wait until the crowd in the tube building disperses a little,
When Cheng Yu came down from upstairs,
Aunt Cao quickly instructed everyone to disperse and not to watch.
The two elders then led Xu Wensong, Xu Wenmei and Liu Cheng, carrying large and small bags of gifts, and entered the tube building one after another.
Soon, the Xu family arrived at the door of the Su family.
Su Dejun, who was standing at the door, was so nervous that he couldn't breathe smoothly. "Hello, Chief..."
Mr. Xu smiled and walked up to him and shook his hand. "Are you Lizhi's father? Comrade Su, hello!"
"Don't call me Chief!"
"It's Chinese New Year and I'm on vacation. When you call me Chief, it's like you're urging me to work overtime!"
"Today, our identities are very simple. You are Lizhi's father, and I am Cheng Yu's grandfather... Okay?"
"Okay! Okay, okay! Please stay in the house." As he said that, Su Dejun bowed deeply to Mr. Xu again.
Su Tianli, who was standing by, laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
However, Old Lady Xu immediately held Su Tianli's hand and said, "Lizhi looks so beautiful today!"
Then, turning around, Old Lady Xu saw Su Qianzi in a blue dress again, and quickly asked Su Tianli, "Lizhi, she is your sister, right?"
Su Tianli quickly called all her brothers and sisters over to greet Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu.
So, Old Lady Xu called Xu Wensong and Xu Wenmei over as well...
After everyone met and got to know each other in a lively manner.
Xu Wenmei whispered to Cheng Yu, "Your girlfriend is so pretty! No wonder she's called Litchi! Look at her fair skin... What if she wears a bright red wedding dress on your wedding day? That red dress and fair face, wouldn't she be like a big lychee?"
Cheng Yu smiled.
Xu Wenmei added: "Su Qianzi is so amazing! My God, I can't believe that a girl who looks so weak... is so strong inside! I have to go over and make friends with her..."
Then she went to find Su Qianzi with great confidence.
Xu Wenmei just left——
Xu Wensong came over and asked Cheng Yu, "Xiao Yu, who is that girl? Is she also your Lizhi's sister?"
As he spoke, Xu Wensong pouted at a young girl in gray pants and a white shirt.
Cheng Yu took a look and saw that it was Yao Meiyu?
He looked at Xu Wensong again.
Xu Wensong smiled, but still felt a little uncomfortable - he had probably been secretly looking at Yao Meiyu, and when Yao Meiyu noticed, she would follow Xu Wensong's line of sight and look over. Whenever Yao Meiyu looked over, Xu Wensong would quickly look away...
He looks very guilty.
At this moment, Cheng Yu thought a lot.
Honestly speaking, when Cheng Yu treated Yao Meiyu as a friend, Yao Meiyu was a pretty good person - although she was spoiled and outspoken, she could become besties of Lizhi. In a sense, Yao Meiyu's personality had a lot in common with Lizhi.
For example, both of them have a clear distinction between love and hate, and both have a strong sense of responsibility...
But one thing Cheng Yu really didn't like about Yao Meiyu was that she always acted like a woman in front of Lizhi.
Cheng Yu didn't want to argue with Yao Meiyu.
Humph, as long as Lizhi knows that he is not a sissy...
But at this moment, Cheng Yu was thinking:
Half a year later he was going to Northeast Polytechnic University and would be separated from Lizhi.
Xu Wensong's current look clearly shows that he fell in love with Yao Meiyu at first sight...
if?
What if Yao Meiyu and Xu Wensong can succeed?
What if Yao Meiyu could follow Xu Wensong to the Northeast?
——Xu Wensong is serving in the military in Northeast China, and it is said that he is not far from Northeast University of Technology!
Then, Lizhi's husband and bestie are both in the Northeast.
Lychees will also... At least go to the Northeast more often during holidays, right?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu began to think about matchmaking.
Of course, as to whether they can succeed, that depends on them.
Anyway, in Cheng Yu's opinion, Yao Meiyu's family background is not bad.
Xu Wensong is also a handsome man.
They look like a good match.
So Cheng Yu said to Xu Wensong: "The girl's name is Yao Meiyu, she is Lizhi's best friend... She is the same age as Lizhi and is currently single." Then he briefly explained Yao Meiyu's personal and family situation.
Xu Wensong certainly understood what Cheng Yu meant, and his handsome face immediately flushed red, "Xiao Yu, you... I, I... that, that she..."
In fact, he has never been interested in love.
Until he met Yao Meiyu,
I don’t know why…
Speaking of which, my cousin's girlfriend, Su Tianli, is a stunning beauty.
Su Tianli's sister Su Qianzi is also a beauty.
Yao Meiyu was dressed simply and her looks were slightly inferior to those of the Su sisters. She was not outstanding at all.
However, when Xu Wensong saw Yao Meiyu for the first time, he could not take his eyes away.
He had never thought that there would be a girl in this world who would make him feel... particularly comfortable the moment he saw her.
At this time, Xu Wensong's thoughts were exposed by Cheng Yu.
This made Xu Wensong feel uneasy and nervous, and he had no idea what to say.
Cheng Yu ignored Xu Wensong.
He looked at Yao Meiyu steadily.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Yao Meiyu followed Cheng Yu's gaze and looked over here.
Cheng Yu winked at Yao Meiyu and walked aside.
Yao Meiyu: …
Yao Meiyu's first reaction was to look at Lizhi.
But Lizhi was being pulled by Old Lady Xu, who was asking her all kinds of questions.
Yao Meiyu thought for a moment, then walked over to Cheng Yu and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Yu also lowered his voice, "Meiyu, that's my cousin... His name is Xu Wensong, he has a fever and is not feeling well."
Yao Meiyu was startled. "Ah? He is sick? Why would he come here when he is sick?"
Cheng Yu sighed, "He's afraid that if he doesn't come, grandpa and grandma will be unhappy... Meiyu, can you please take care of him?"
As a nurse, Yao Meiyu felt obliged to respond, "No problem!"
After thinking for a while, she asked Cheng Yu again, "Don't you want the old man to know that he is not feeling well? Then I will take him to my house to rest for a while and give him some medicine to reduce fever?"
——Yao Meiyu also lived in the chemical plant’s family compound, but because her father was the factory leader, her family lived in the leadership area, about five minutes’ walk from the Su family.
Cheng Yu said gratefully: "Meiyu, thank you."
"Why are you being polite? I'll take him away. If your grandparents ask about it later, you can come up with an excuse," Yao Meiyu said. "The antipyretic medicine will take effect in about an hour. I'll bring him back in an hour."
Cheng Yu nodded.
then--
Cheng Yu watched Yao Meiyu walk towards Xu Wensong and asked a few questions.
At first, Xu Wensong blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu nodded towards Xu Wensong.
Xu Wensong hesitated for a moment, then followed Yao Meiyu with a red face.
Cheng Yu almost laughed out loud.
After a while, Su Tianli finished dealing with Old Lady Xu and came to Cheng Yu, "Where did you take Meiyu?"
Cheng Yu did not hide it from her, "My cousin is feeling a little unwell..."
Su Tianli looked at Cheng Yu steadily without saying a word.
Cheng Yu explained quietly, "My cousin wants to meet Meiyu."
"I think it wouldn't be a big deal if they got to know each other..."
Then he motioned Lizhi to look at Xu Wenmei and Su Qianzi - it seemed that the two young girls had become good friends and were having a relaxed conversation with both of them having happy expressions.
"Meiyu and my cousin should be able to become good friends like Qianzi and Wenmei!" Cheng Yu said.
Su Tianli glanced at Cheng Yu with a half-smile.
At this moment, Mr. Xu and Su Dejun had finished chatting about family matters, so they began to talk about the marriage of Cheng Yu and Su Tianli.
Yesterday, Cheng Yu and Su Tianli had already explained to their family members: You can say anything, but you are not allowed to say "What if the two children have different futures in the future?"
So, Mr. Xu and Su Dejun carefully avoided this topic and talked about their marriage.
Mr. Xu asked what to do with the house.
Su Dejun, "Lizhi has already applied for a house, which will be available after the new year. As for their wedding house, we'll see when the time comes... Our opinion is that they can slowly clean up after they have a house."
Mr. Xu asked again when would be a better time for the wedding.
As for this point, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu had already reached an agreement on the phone yesterday.
So Su Dejun replied: "The Civil Affairs Bureau will be open for business on the eighth day of the first lunar month, so let them go to get the marriage certificate on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! As for when the wedding will be held, it depends on when the house is available..."
Old Master Xu nodded, thinking that he had to give a heads up and have the house problem solved quickly.
Then Mr. Xu asked about the bride price again.
Su Dejun had already been scolded by Lizhi, so he said as planned: "We have no requirements for the bride price."
Old Master Xu scolded: "How can you marry your children off without giving a gift?"
"Future in-laws, just mention it!"
Su Dejun waved his hands quickly, "Marriage nowadays requires free love, I won't interfere in the affairs of young people."
Old Master Xu thought for a while and said, "Future in-laws, since you don't mention it, then I'll tell you - we will pay for the three turns and one ring. If they pay for the house, then we will be responsible for making the furniture. If they don't have enough time, then let the young couple buy it themselves, and we will be responsible for paying..."
"Then there's the betrothal gift. We'll prepare 888 yuan in cash. What do you think?"
Su Dejun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
——When Lizhi told him the number 888 yesterday, he felt relieved.
After all, he gritted his teeth and planned to give his daughter a dowry of 3,000 yuan.
But after a night, Su Dejun was so worried that he couldn't sleep.
He was mainly worried that the Xu family was a wealthy family. What if they secretly raised the price?
Su Dejun is just an ordinary citizen. If the Xu family increases the dowry to tens of thousands, how can he afford it?
I was frightened all night long.
Only now, after Su Dejun heard what Mr. Xu said with his own ears, did he finally feel relieved.
"I think it's a good idea!" Su Dejun agreed immediately, fearing that Mr. Xu might go back on his word and increase the gift price at the last minute.
Mr. Xu was very happy to see that Su Dejun agreed readily.
In his opinion, the daughter of the Su family is excellent, and although her father is a bit ordinary, he is also a decisive person.
good!
Hurrah……
Next, Mr. Xu discussed with Su Dejun:
He wanted to prepare a house for the young couple in Beijing, so that when the couple held their wedding in Beijing, the Su family would have a place to stay.
As for the house, furniture, etc.
As long as Lizhi makes a request, the Xu family will do as Lizhi says.
Su Dejun followed his daughter's instructions and said, "Then I won't worry about this. Let Cheng Yu and Lizhi decide for themselves!"
At this moment, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu were also talking about the house in Beijing and the wedding in Beijing.
Well, they don't have any connections in Beijing, and actually have no plans to develop in Beijing in the future.
However, this is an opportunity for the two elders of the Xu family to clear Cheng Yu's name.
Su Tianli also thought about it all night yesterday and finally decided to accept it.
So what she discussed with Cheng Yu was: the wedding in Guangzhou would be held first, but the wedding in Beijing would be better held a year later.
When Cheng Yu heard this, he thought it made sense.
Because the biggest reason he opposed buying a house and holding a wedding in Beijing yesterday was that he and Lizhi still had to prepare for the exam, get married, buy a house, and make furniture in the first half of this year...
If the two elders of the Xu family asked them to go to Beijing again, what if it affected his and Lizhi's preparations for the exam!
Therefore, Lizhi now proposed that if they hold the wedding in Beijing a year later,
Cheng Yu had no objection.
Just like that, after Su Tianli and Cheng Yu had discussed it,
Cheng Yu then brought up the matter in front of the elders of both sides.
The two elders of the Xu family nodded repeatedly.
Old Mrs. Xu was very satisfied, "This is a great arrangement!"
"You have to give me and Cheng Yu's mother some time so that we can prepare properly!"
"In that case, then it's a deal!"
"Don't worry, leave the wedding room and wedding in Beijing to me. I will definitely not let you worry about anything! I promise to arrange everything well for you!"
Su Dejun also said: "Yes, yes, yes, we will hold the wedding banquet in Guangzhou. Don't worry, we will take care of the wedding banquet here! When they have a wedding room and the date is set, you can come over to attend the wedding banquet! We will take care of it!"
"Wait until next year, and then let them go to the capital to hold a wedding banquet!"
The two elders of the Xu family nodded repeatedly.
At this point, the marriage conditions and details of Su Tianli and Cheng Yu have been negotiated.
Su Qianzi and Aunt Cao helped bring tea and snacks.
So, the guests of Xu's family saw a strange snack.
——It’s a small round cake with a pink crust and a red dot in the middle?
Cheng Yu explained to the two elders, "This is red bean cake. People in Lingnan use it as wedding cake."
After hearing this, the guests quickly took one each and tasted it carefully.
Red bean pastry is a baked snack with a thin layer of puff pastry on the outside and red bean paste filling inside that is as fine as snow and as sweet as honey...
This is so delicious!
Su Tianli and Cheng Yu also took a red bean paste cake each, ate it carefully, and smiled at each other.
