Jiang Yun felt very uncomfortable in the living room, not knowing how to refuse the proposal of getting married immediately.
This is her own business. Why did no one ask for her opinion before making the decision for her, and pretending it was all for her own good?
Several pairs of eyes were staring at her, waiting for her to shyly agree, and then the matter would be settled.
So embarrassing!
Just when Jiang Jun was about to refuse, Ye Qingyin came back with Chen Jing following behind her.
Gao Lei waved his hand quickly: "Old Ye, come quickly, we've been waiting for you! Sit down quickly, come on, Xiao Jiang is ready to serve tea!"
Ye Qingyin deliberately waited until this time before entering the house. She chatted with Chen Jing for a while outside, and the mother and daughter talked about their concerns.
Offering tea? Ye Qingyin's eyebrows twitched, and she sensitively thought of her daughter-in-law offering tea to her parents-in-law. She did not respond immediately, but walked to the seat next to Chen Zhong and sat down. She glanced at Jiang Jun and said with a smile:
"Commander Gao, you've got it wrong. Xiaojing just imitated me and said Xiaojiang played the piano so well. Their commander Guo even told her to learn from Xiaojiang. As for the tea, Xiaojing should offer it to Xiaojiang first. Please ask Xiaojiang to give Xiaojing more guidance in the future!"
Chen Jing looked at Jiang Yun and smiled slightly.
Gao Lei smiled and said, "We are all family. If the two sisters need any advice or not, it's fine to talk about it."
Ye Qingyin nodded in agreement: "I think so too. Xiao Jiang is such a good child, smart and outstanding, and he is loved wherever he goes! Old Jiang, you have to share your experience with us. How did your family raise such a good child? Our Xiao Jing is also very diligent and hardworking, but compared to Xiao Jiang, she is lagging behind!"
Jiang Yonghua felt a little embarrassed. What a shame! They all lived in the same family compound. Zhang Xiuying had a bad reputation. She either beat or scolded Jiang Jun. Not to mention raising him, she even let him go if she didn't cripple him.
Gao Lei said, "Old Ye, I think Xiao Jiang is just as clever and capable as you. She's like your own daughter!"
Ye Qingyin sighed with a half-hearted smile: "I wish Xiao Jiang was my own daughter!"
This is the truth - it would be great if such a good child was a daughter instead of a daughter-in-law! Thinking about Xiao Jiang's biological mother makes me upset!
Gao Lei smiled and said, "Fortunately, she's not your biological daughter, otherwise Xiao Wu and Xiao Jing would be crying! Our Xiao Mei always says that I'm biased and praise Xiao Jiang too much!"
Ye Qingyin smiled politely, took out her hostess identity, and invited everyone to the table to eat: "Please sit down, everyone will be busy soon, and Xiaofei will not be back until he finishes his meal, so we won't wait for him."
Chen Jing hurriedly helped Ye Qingyin to sit down, and sat next to her mother, while Chen Yuanwu carefully protected Jiang Yun on both sides.
Jiang Yonghua politely refused to sit at the head of the table and tried his best to give in.
Gao Lei waved his hand and said, "Don't give way. Both sets of parents need to sit together so that the two children can toast!"
Ye Qingyin smiled slightly: "Why, isn't Old Chen going out soon? Why drink? Besides, this is just an ordinary family reunion dinner. The in-laws are coming to meet us. There is no rush to hold a wedding today. On the day of the wedding, our family will definitely treat everyone and drink as much as they want."
Gao Lei observed Ye Qingyin and Jiang Jun for a long time while they were talking. He felt that Ye Qingyin had the air of a feudal patriarch, and he could see some problems. "Old Ye, I was just saying that choosing a day is worse than waiting for one. Let's do it today for the two children. It just so happens that their brother and sister are here!"
Ye Qingyin was not satisfied. She spoke as if Chen Yuanwu was going to the battlefield tomorrow and would not come back. "Lao Gao, I want to, too! But Xiao Jiang's work quota hasn't been implemented yet. Besides, if she starts working and gets married, she will have to be put at the back of the list when the company allocates housing. If housing becomes scarce, we will have to persuade her to give up her application for housing quota first."
This reason is fine!
Ye Qingyin added, "Xiao Jiang is still young. Since she's so good at everything she does, she should work hard and achieve some results before considering getting married and having children!"
Jiang Jun was almost moved to tears. She never expected that the only person who supported her in not getting married immediately was Ye Qingyin, who had never been very satisfied with her.
Ye Qingyin continued, "I haven't treated Xiao Jiang as an outsider. Look, she lives in our house, does housework, cooks, takes care of me, and does everything. I think it's best to wait and see if we can get a separate house after she starts working, or wait until Xiao Wu comes back."
Xiao Wu was indeed their biological son, but no matter how filial a son was, wouldn't he always forget his mother after starting his own family? If the wedding were arranged now, Xiao Jiang could visit Xiao Wu openly. But what if Xiao Jiang's personality was a bit like her biological mother's, and she didn't want to get along with them? She urged Xiao Wu to live out of town. Then the couple would go to Xiao Wu's place and live out of town forever. What would they do then?
No, Xiao Wu must return to Beijing and work with his parents. The family can take care of each other and his career will get better and better.
Chen Yuanwu hadn't expected his mother to use her job as an excuse. Her words were so clear that he couldn't find fault with them. "Mom, it doesn't matter if Xiaojun doesn't get a room. The housing conditions at our company are very good!"
Ye Qingyin made up her mind after seeing Jiang Yonghua. She felt that Jiang Yun's character and behavior must be re-examined. "No matter how good the housing conditions are at your company, you still have to move eventually! If Xiao Jiang's company is well-equipped and you can get a big house in Beijing, then... everything will be convenient in the future!"
The only good thing about the military family compound is that there are sentries. There is no question of building quality, let alone tall buildings. It is inconvenient to do anything. There is no park, no art theater, no library, and no good school. The growth of Xiaowu and Xiaofei is due to the difference in the two environments!
Chen Zhong said to Jiang Yonghua, "Old Jiang, whether these two children get married or not, they are both members of our Chen family. Don't worry, Xiaowu is not at home, we will treat her like our own daughter! What Xiaojing has, Xiaojun has too!"
Chen Jing felt even worse. Her parents had been talking at the dinner table for so long, and when they finally mentioned her, she was just a foil to Jiang Jun! She had always been the only one favored at home, and she couldn't stand the newcomer overshadowing her, and couldn't stand her position being relegated to second place in the eyes of her parents and brothers.
Isn't it just that she can play the piano? If she hadn't found her elder brother, she wouldn't be able to play the piano, let alone touch it!
To get a good job that includes a house in Beijing, the Chen family still needs to step in!
Humph, not even a word of thanks!
