Four, three, five, Chen family's parents
On the afternoon of December 27, the Zhou family waited quietly at the dock.
"Look, the ship is coming!"
As soon as they heard that the ship was coming, everyone came to the spirit, and they all tidied up their clothes and maintained a good image.
Zhou Min, Chen Yunzhang, the second elder of the Zhou family, as well as the big one, lynx, bodyguards and others stood on the dock waiting to greet Chen Yunzhang's parents.
Yesterday, Zhou Min told Chen Yunzhang about the engagement, and Chen Yunzhang was also anxious. That night, he sent a telegram to his parents in Hong Kong, inviting them to come to Macao the next day, and the parents of both sides discussed the matter of engagement.
The most apprehensive of all the people on the dock was Zhou Min, who said that the ugly daughter-in-law wanted to see her in-laws, and she was a little nervous when she saw her future in-laws for the first time.
Zhou Min was very anxious about the engagement this time, according to her meaning, she arrived today, and she was engaged tomorrow under the witness of both parents. There wasn't much time to continue in Macau. Besides, there is also that shipload of munitions, waiting for her to dispose of.
The steamer's whistle sounded, and then slowly approached the dock, and the hatch opened after the ship was stable, and passengers continued to walk down.
Zhou Min searched the crowd to see which was Chen Yunzhang's parents, and soon she found the target.
Human temperament sometimes can't be hidden, Zhou Min saw a couple who were about the same age as his parents, and they stood out in the crowd.
The men wore long robes and horse coats, and the women wore cheongsam. As soon as the two of them stopped there, they could feel that they were well educated, and they had the smell of a scholarly family and an elegant nobility.
In addition to the two, there are 4 bodyguards, and there is a girl in school clothes next to them.
Zhou Min tilted his head and asked Chen Yunzhang, "Weimo, are those two your parents?"
"That's right, you're pretty good, and you'll recognize it right away. ”
Seeing that Chen Yunzhang's parents were about to walk on the dock, the second elder of the Zhou family hurriedly led someone to greet him.
Chen Yunzhang greeted him first, greeted his parents, and then introduced the two to the second elder of the Zhou family.
"Mr. Zhou, I have admired my name for a long time. You are a well-known patriotic entrepreneur, and you are fortunate to see three lives today. ”
"Mr. Chen, you are too polite, I have long admired you and me, the Chen family has been a scholarly family for generations, and it is really worthy of its reputation when I see it today. ”
After the parents of both sides finished greetings, Zhou Min also stepped forward to say hello: "The younger Zhou Min has seen his uncle and aunt. ”
Chen Yunzhang's mother took Zhou Min's hand very kindly and said, "You are Minmin, I have long wanted to meet you, and I can often see your news in the newspaper." You have done so many great things at a young age, which is really the pride of us Chinese. ”
Zhou Min was a little flattered by these few words, and he was humble again and again.
Zhou Min was very curious about who the young girl next to Chen Yunzhang's parents was? Chen Yunzhang also hurriedly introduced it to everyone.
"This is my cousin Xiao Ning. ”
This Xiao Ning is a beauty, looking quiet and elegant, maybe this is the origin of family learning.
"Good uncle and aunt, good cousin, good sister Zhou. ”
"Hello, nice to meet you. Zhou Min shook her hand generously, and she didn't know why she always felt that this cousin looked at Chen Yunzhang a little strangely.
"Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, please, let's go home and talk again. ”
The group got into the car and returned to the Zhou Mansion.
After getting out of the car, the Chen family was shocked by the atmosphere of the Zhou Mansion.
The Chen family is also a family that has been inherited for a hundred years. Naturally, he has seen the world, but as a scholarly family, his financial resources are not so strong, and he is indeed much worse than the Zhou family.
And when they were in China, they lived in big mansions, and after arriving in Hong Kong, they lived in Chinese-style buildings, not such Western villas. So the impact is very strong.
Xiao Ning sighed: "Sister Zhou, your house is so beautiful, I have never seen such a big house." ”
Zhou Min replied with a smile, not to tell you: "I was also shocked when I first came back, and I have never seen such a big house." ”
Zhou Min is telling the truth, the Zhou Mansion in Shanghai is not as big as this villa in Macau, and in the 21st century, I have only seen such a large villa in film and television works, and there is no such a villa in real life.
After everyone was seated, the maid hurriedly served tea, considering that the Chen family was a Chinese family, there was no such thing as coffee.
Father Chen took a sip of tea and praised: "Mr. Zhou, this tea is Wuyi Da Hong Pao, the taste is excellent, fragrant like Lan Gui, the taste is like Ganlin, and then there is a feeling of fragrant lips and teeth, this is the best in Da Hong Pao." ”
"Haha, what Mr. Chen said is right, this is indeed the best red robe, I have treasured it for a long time, only an elegant person like you can drink the true taste of it. ”
After Father Zhou finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Min.
Of course Zhou Min knew what he meant, when she first returned to Macau, she saw Zhou Yaozu in the study drinking tea, and she also drank a cup of it, which was completely cow drink, without the slightest elegance.
When Zhou Yaozu asked her how the tea was, her answer was only two words: delicious
He also proposed to ask Zhou Yaozu to pack two catties for him when he left, you must know that the annual output of this tea is a few catties, and he also packs two catties, and he doesn't understand the goods at all.
It is more difficult to stay with the elders, especially in this era, there are still some feudal remnants, so the younger generation of Zhou Min and Chen Yunzhang can only sit there silently and laugh, and put on a dignified posture.
After everyone chatted for a while, Father Chen said, "Mr. Zhou, if the children's affairs are settled, then we will be in-laws in the future." I'll call you in-laws, and dare to ask when the engagement ceremony is going to take place?"
Zhou Yaozu looked at Zhou Min and Chen Yunzhang and said, "The children are in a hurry, and they plan to do it tomorrow." ”
Chen's mother was surprised: "Is tomorrow so urgent? Chen's mother originally thought that this time she would just come to discuss the date and process of the engagement, and then she would invite guests to hold a ceremony, but she didn't expect to get engaged tomorrow." ”
Zhou Yaozu smiled bitterly: "The two of them must be soldiers now, and they can't leave the army for a long time, so they are in a hurry." ”
Father Chen nodded and said: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, as a soldier, you really shouldn't leave the army for a long time." ”
Chen Yunzhang also said at this time: "Yes, Dad, we only have 15 days of vacation. On the 15th, we left the army and returned in 30 days. ”
Chen's mother was still a little unwilling and said: "At that time, I was also in a hurry, and I wanted to invite some relatives and friends to participate together." ”
At this time, Zhou's mother said: "I also feel a little anxious, or it will be set on the first day, it is New Year's Day, and it can be regarded as a day of reunion, if you are engaged, it will be a double happiness." Anyway, your chief is Tao'er, I'll tell him. ”
Zhou's suggestion was instantly recognized by parents.
Zhou Min wanted to say something more, the engagement on New Year's Day was several days later than she expected, and she still had important information that had not been conveyed. What if you miss the best time on these days?
Chen Yunzhang glanced at her and shook his head, Zhou Min was helpless.
Now the four parents are chatting happily, and she can't interject and ask for another date, so she can only figure out a way by herself.
The Chen family had a long time and simply finalized the date. I went to rest, and in the evening, the Zhou family would prepare a more sumptuous dinner party.
"Minmin, what's wrong with you?"
Regarding the incident in southern Anhui, Zhou Min felt that it was better not to say it to Chen Yunchao. She always had a premonition that something was going to happen.
"It's okay...."
