Chen Miao is one year older than Ye Jiawei and is 23 this year. In this era, people get married around the age of 20. Before her elder brother came, she lived a good life at home and didn't think about finding a partner so early.
Later, her eldest brother and sister-in-law came back, and she couldn't stand the atmosphere at home, so she spread the word that she was going on a blind date.
Before Ye Jiawei, she had met several blind dates, but she was not satisfied with any of them.
Later, the older sister in the factory introduced her to Ye Jiawei. Although his family conditions were not as good as those of the people she had gone on blind dates with before, she liked him. When she heard that one of his sisters was a college student and the other was also studying, she agreed.
The fact that he was able to let the girl go to school and get into university proved that his family was open-minded. He also had a cheerful and cheerful personality, which she felt met her standards for finding a partner.
The two had been together for more than half a year. Before the holiday, the elder sister who introduced them to each other came to find them and told them that it was time for them to meet their parents during the Chinese New Year and that they could get married next year.
Other people who go on blind dates are ready to get married within two or three months, but these two are much slower than others.
Chen Miao happened to be feeling quite depressed at home, so he nodded and agreed to meet his parents.
After the holiday, she found time to tell her parents that her boyfriend was coming to live with her. Chen Miao's mother was quite surprised.
This girl has been very independent since she was young. She has never given them any worries about going to school or working. Even after she started working, she knew how to contribute to the family expenses. She also helped her brother in times of difficulty, and she would help her younger brother find a job.
But she felt a little uncomfortable because they were not allowed to participate in her lifelong affairs.
She didn't even think about the fact that ever since her eldest son's child fell ill, she had been concentrating on the old family and had no time to pay attention to other children.
Chen Miao wanted to talk to her several times, but was interrupted by various things. After two or three times, she simply stopped talking. If it weren't for the fact that she had to talk about it this time, she really wanted to solve it herself.
Although Chen Miao's mother felt bad, her daughter's boyfriend was about to come to her house, so she could only suppress it and prepare for the day.
The day Ye Jiawei came to visit, all the family members were present.
My second brother and sister-in-law who lived outside also came back, but they didn't bring their children with them.
In response to Chen's mother's questions, Chen's second brother simply said that the child went out to play with his cousins from his grandmother's family.
Mother Chen's face froze again. Since when did the family become like this?
Second Brother Chen pretended not to see Mother Chen's expression and pulled Chen Miao aside to ask about his future brother-in-law.
Compared to her eldest brother, Chen Miao has a better relationship with her second brother. Her eldest brother went to the countryside when she was in her teens, and they don’t have much relationship. She helped him before because of family friendship.
Later, the eldest brother came back and caused unrest in the family, and the thin friendship became even weaker.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Miao stood up and opened the door. Standing outside was Chen Jiawei.
"Jiawei, you're here. Is it cold outside?"
The two have been together for half a year and have a good relationship. Seeing Chen Jiawei's cheeks slightly red from the cold, Chen Miao asked with concern.
"It's not cold, I'm wearing enough clothes."
As soon as the two of them said a word, Chen Ma's voice was heard in the room.
"Miaomiao, come in quickly, my lover."
Chen Miao responded and walked into the house with Ye Jiawei.
Everyone in the Chen family looked at Ye Jiawei.
"These are my parents, my eldest brother and his wife, my second brother and his wife, and my youngest sister."
Chen Miao introduced the family members one by one. His younger brother Chen was not at home because he was serving in the army. If he were here, he would probably have to sleep on the sofa.
I also introduced Ye Jiawei to my family.
"This is my boyfriend, Ye Jiawei."
Chen Jiawei smiled cheerfully and greeted everyone with his cheerful voice.
He has a stern appearance and a loud voice, and seems to be a perfect match for Chen Miao. Chen's mother's discomfort disappeared, and she happily pulled Chen Jiawei to sit down.
"Aunt, this is a little gift prepared by our family. I hope you and uncle like it."
Ye Jiawei put the gift bag in his hand on the table next to the sofa and sat down.
When he came today, Ye's mother packed out eight gifts for him. They were all famous brands in Jing City and Hai City, and they could be given as gifts anywhere.
The gift was placed on the table, and everyone was surprised when they saw the logo on the packaging bag.
Especially my second sister-in-law, her family is well-off and she is well-informed. Some of the gifts she gave were things she had only heard of but never seen. Aren’t they from the countryside?
So generous?
Father Chen has been in Beijing for so many years and has a lot of experience. He looked at Ye Jiawei.
"This, Xiaoye, this is too valuable. We can't accept it."
"Uncle, these are some food, and a piece of cloth for Chen Miao to make clothes."
The gifts Ye Jiawei brought included snacks, chocolates, bacon, two bottles of good wine, and a ginseng root given by my younger sister's godmother last year. They were indeed all food.
"Your family is too extravagant. There's no need to go out of your way to buy something so expensive."
Father Chen still felt that the gift was too expensive. A rural family must have spent several years’ savings to buy these things.
He felt complicated and happy. He was happy that the Ye family valued their daughter, but he also felt that they were all ordinary families, and it would be difficult for them to live if they spent so much money on their first visit.
"I didn't buy them specially. They were all given to me by my younger sister and her godmother. Please don't mind."
Ye Jiawei scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He was benefiting from his sister's success.
When the Chen family heard that it was not specially bought but was already in the house, their expressions varied.
Seeing his family like this, Chen Miao started to change the subject.
"Little sister is still in school, is she graduating soon?"
Speaking of Ye Jiaying, Ye Jiawei was quite proud.
"Well, I'll be a junior in the summer and graduate the year after."
"Which university is your sister attending?"
Ye Ersao was curious.
At first, he just said he was a college student. Judging from his proud expression, he must be from a good university.
"Kyo City University."
Ye Jiawei became even more proud. He was not good at studying, but his sister was. To round it off, he could do it too.
"Wow, that's amazing."
Brother Chen was also shocked. Beijing University? Where should I kowtow to get into Beijing University?
Chen's mother, who had originally thought that the Ye family was from the countryside and had average conditions and was not very satisfied with them, now felt that her family was not up to the mark when she heard that his sister was studying at a university in Beijing.
Ye Jiawei did not encounter any difficulties in the Chen family, and the whole family was very satisfied with him.
The only person who felt uncomfortable was Chen's eldest sister-in-law. She was stunned for a long time when she saw the ginseng brought by Ye Jiawei. Later, when everyone talked to Ye Jiawei, she said she was not feeling well and got up to go back to the house.
Later, Brother Chen also followed him back to the house, and soon faint crying sounds were heard.
Ye Jiawei heard a few more sounds. If he had recovered earlier, their child would have survived.
Brother Chen Er and Chen Miao's expressions changed, and then they said they would take him out for a walk.
When they came back, the Chen family was lively again, but the eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't talk much all day.
Ye Jiawei was a carefree person. When Chen Miao told him not to care about them, he really didn't pay attention to their condition anymore.
