When Xiao Zhen drove Ivanka home, he was frightened by the crackling sound of firecrackers as soon as he entered the door. He immediately dodged with a standard tactic while shouting "God's shooting!"
"Firecrackers, firecrackers, it's okay, this is China, China has a ban on guns, silly woman!" Xiao Zhen smiled and patted the big horse's back to comfort her.
"I was so scared, I thought it was a gunshot!" Ivanka said, patting her turbulent chest.
"My family may be home soon. According to Chinese tradition, they will give you red envelopes. Red envelopes are a kind of greeting etiquette for the new bride. You must accept them happily." Xiao Zhen gave Dayangma some knowledge before getting off the car.
"What's that red paper wrapped thing?" The big horse asked curiously.
"It's usually in cash, and you don't have to give anything in return. It's the elders' good wishes to the newcomers on their first meeting." Xiao Zhen explained.
"There are gifts for them that I bought for you in the trunk. They are jade jewelry. These will be your gifts to them later. Your four big boxes are filled with your clothes, right?" Xiao Zhen reminded and asked again.
"I brought 20 boxes of American ginseng, dear!"
"Then I'll give them a box of American ginseng and a box of jade jewelry. The people I'm meeting today are my uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents!
When I introduce someone to you, just smile and nod. Chinese people are reserved and don't like to greet each other with kisses or kisses. "Xiao Zhen said
"Honey, I understand. Let's get out of the car!" Ivanka saw dozens of family members waiting in the courtyard in front of the country villa.
Xiao Zhen parked the car, and Wenming and Wenying and several cousins came over to move the luggage.
Xiao Zhen got out of the car and opened the passenger door for Dayangma. Dayangma was shy and blushed and was very nervous. Xiao Zhen saw the woman take several deep breaths before giving her hand to Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen held Ivanka's hand and introduced her to everyone along the way. When they arrived at the living room, Xiao Zhen hurriedly opened the jewelry gifts he had prepared and the American ginseng gift box that Ivanka had brought.
Xiao Zhenbian introduced that Ivanka's cool side was revealed, she spoke in simple Chinese followed by English. His eldest cousin acted as the translator, and the whole meeting was harmonious and festive.
Ivanka's big Gucci bag was stuffed with big red envelopes in RMB, Hong Kong dollars and US dollars, and the entire big pocket was stuffed full. His grandmother gave Ivanka a pair of bright green bracelets as a gift.
When Xiao Zhen introduced his uncle, he said that your father and his uncle were both real estate developers.
When introducing his cousin Wenming, he was the chairman of Wenming Electrical Technology Group.
When he introduced his second uncle, he was a local government official, and his cousin Wenying was the president of Huasheng Fashion Group.
The other cousins didn’t come back for the New Year, so I didn’t introduce them to you.
His grandfather was introduced as a senior traditional architect.
After more than forty minutes of lively activity, Xiao Zhen took Ivanka to his bedroom. It was his first time living in a new house. When he opened the closet, he found clothes for all seasons prepared by his mother.
Xiao Zhen moved the luggage four times before he finished moving the boxes and shopping bags. He then took out Paris Boiling Point's home clothes and asked her to change in the bathroom. He also made the bed so that she could have a good rest and adjust to the jet lag. Now there were three of them, all family members, so there was no need for red tape.
Xiao Zhen then went downstairs to greet his uncle, aunt, grandparents, and the cousins who had teased him.
"Xinzhen, your American wife is really tall. Fortunately, no one in our family is short!" Wen Dalu said while smoking a big cigar in the sun room tea room.
"Yes, she's a bit tall. 180cm is considered tall for a girl." Xiao Zhen sat down to make tea while talking, his hands moving non-stop.
Wen Yunli's uncle asked, "Is this girl really involved in real estate development?"
“Yes, it’s an American real estate group that used to be engaged in real estate development but now operates in hotels, casinos, resorts and entertainment.
It's hard to describe his father. He's a thrice-divorced jerk, a busybody, and has obvious histrionic personality traits.
Ivanka is his eldest daughter and is very much loved by her father. She is already four months pregnant. I can't possibly say to abort the baby, especially twins! "Xiao Zhen said
"I also suggested to exchange ideas with international colleagues." said my uncle.
"That's a piece of old cowhide, don't touch it!" Xiao Zhen said scoundrelly
"Xinzhen, remember to make a pre-nuptial property certificate like the one in Wenming before getting married. Don't forget!" Wen Dalu reminded him.
“Grandpa, I know, I may have to become a Hong Kong citizen. Anyway, I can’t participate in many national projects in the country now.
The laws in Hong Kong are more sound, and my civilized cousin knows what's going on.
I'm a little reluctant to retire like this. I'm still thinking about challenging the general, but only my second aunt's cousin Zhang Lu has a chance. "Xiao Zhen said depressedly.
"My cousin, it's a pity that Xie Chengrun was such a good girl before, otherwise she wouldn't have to be retired like this." Cousin Wenying said
"This is fate, I guess. By then, we'll all be registered as Hong Kong residents, as there's a talent program anyway.
It's a pity that the sports team has lost a lot of income. Xiao Zhen said to his grandfather, uncle and second uncle while mixing tea.
"Little Brother Xiaozhen, now that the new year has begun, do you think you're officially in control?" Wenming asked.
"It's so troublesome. I just want to run and do some research. I'll reorganize after the new year. Otherwise, I'll be too busy and have no time for research." Xiao Zhen said after taking a sip of tea...
Xiao Zhen didn't invite Ivanka to dinner with his family. The pregnant woman had been traveling for more than 10 hours and was sleepy due to pregnancy. Xiao Zhen prepared dinner for the whole family by himself. His grandparents stayed, and everyone else had to go home to prepare for the New Year.
