Chapter Eighty-Seven: My Sister Is Shy
Si Xiao led Si Ling into the house and did not take her hand. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info now he doesn't dare to hold her hand. His hands had to be pressed tightly to his side in order to control the trembling of his fingers.
He only vaguely gestured to her, and she followed herself. It was as if there was an invisible thread in him that was connected to her. He doesn't have to really make contact with her to command her. Wherever he went, she had to follow.
Bright light leaked from the door of the living room. Si Xiao went inside. This time, Si Ling couldn't keep up. Stagnant on the porch, she leaned against the pillar, like a weed carried by the current, and when she met the reef, she hooked and did not go any further. She looked at Sixiao beggingly: It's okay, now she can't move forward!
Si Xiao looked at her. He must have known what she meant. He had always known what she meant. He pursed his lips and put on a safe smile again: "Okay, sister is shy, I'll go in first." β
Si Xiao went in for a while, and there were sounds of surprise, recognition, footsteps, laughter, and jokes like "Second Miss is ashamed", but there was no anger. This is also Chen Dashuai first took a fancy to Jiang Chu people, it makes sense for Mrs. Chen to think about it, and besides, her daughter's eyes are above the top, it is rare to take a fancy to a person, the young man's own appearance is the first to pick, and his net worth is slightly inferior, there are Chen Dashuai's words...... That's it.
Knock knock knock footsteps, it was Belle who ran out first, clapping her hands: "Second sister, congratulations!" The important question is, "Can I be a flower girl this time?" β
Later, Sun Jing and the others also came out, Si Ling didn't dare to look at them, and bent down and said to Belle: "Sister, this is just an engagement." There are no flower girls at the engagement wedding, and you can only get married. β
Belle tilted her head, very puzzled: "But why are you all only engaged and not married?" β
This is unlucky. An Xiang pulled her hand and said, "What are you talking about, silly girl!" β
Several people hugged Si Ling into the house, Chen Dashuai's face reflected the red light of the fire, smiled heartily, and asked with the kindness of Santa Claus: "Girl, do you really want to get engaged to him?" Mrs. Chan stood behind him, her lips pursed.
At this time, Si Ling wanted to say no. In such a warm room, the fire is burning, the lights are shining, and the different furniture shows different colors according to the distance from the light source, and each color is intimate. The new painting on the wall shows a snow-covered wooden house, the Holy Child is said to be asleep, the wreath of Christmas Eve has been hung first, and the pine tree will not stand until the end of the day, when Mrs. Chan will prepare each gift box herself. Everything was so harmonious, Si Xiao flipped through a sheet music sheet by the shadow of the curtain. She didn't have to give it to anyone, she might as well stay here, and the leather-topped round stool on the other side of the curtain was her reserved seat. She can continue to be her second miss of the Chen family, a shining pearl.
But she knew it wouldn't be at home forever. As the days go by, there will be a situation like Beiping, where the family is not around, friends cannot be relied on, and even the elder brother has to go on a date with other girls. She had to find someone who, according to the law and God's will, would make this person belong to her, to her. In order to obtain this promise from him, she also set herself up for him.
Such a person is necessary.
At present, there is no one more suitable than Jiang Churen, he has a warm hug that is almost similar to Si Xiao, he speaks more beautifully than Si Xiao, his beard is denser than Si Xiao, and most importantly, he promises to let her go when she is not satisfied!
Si Ling gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Yes." β
"Wow!" Chen Dashuai glared at the tiger, slapped the armrest of the chair, and burst out, which made people's ears buzz, "Cheap Jiang family's kid!" β
That's a pass. On the second day, the second elder of the Jiang family carried the expensive gifts urgently purchased and went to the Chen family to propose marriage. The Chen family inevitably put on a show of value and talked about some conditions, but fortunately, Mrs. Chen knows how to be a person, and since she has decided to be willing to marry, she will take care of the face of the whole family, generously praise the Jiang Chu people, and praise Mrs. Jiang with a full face, and agree to the conditions of the Chen family one by one. Chen Dashuai was generous, and took the initiative to promise a lot of dowries, Mr. Jiang reciprocated the favor, and then prepared the dowry beautifully, and the more the two talked about it, the more enthusiastic they became. Mrs. Chen found that Mr. Jiang's business was old-fashioned and low-key, and his family background was actually more rich than she had imagined, so her smile became more and more sincere.
On Christmas Eve, the two families went to church and released the beautiful news together, which aroused admiration, and a few boys said with red eyes that they wanted to find Jiang Churen to duel, and a few girls sour legend that Jiang Churen was snatched by Si Ling from her handkerchief. None of this hurts, Jiang and Chen's family are busy preparing for the engagement ceremony, the plan is to get engaged first, and then discuss marriage after Si Ling graduates, if she misses college - of course she has to pass the exam - in short, then wait until she graduates from college to hold the wedding. This is what Si Ling insisted on. Jiang Churen said that it didn't matter, he was willing to wait.
However, the date of engagement should not be delayed, and the two families agreed that it would be held on the New Year.
Si Ling felt that it was too fast, but she was embarrassed to mention it, otherwise it would seem that she made a casual promise, and she turned her head as if she wanted to regret it. In her heart, she knew that she did have the intention of repentance, so she was pregnant with a ghost fetus, and she didn't dare to say it, just hoping that something else would happen to prevent it.
What can be an extraordinary event? Jiang Chu people can't wait to set their names tomorrow. Mrs. Jiang and her son are of the same heart. Even Mrs. Chan is very positive. Mrs. Jiang thought that Mrs. Chen was her mother-in-law and son-in-law, and the more she watched it, the more interesting it became. In fact, it is Chen Dashuai who is really pushing behind.
According to the secret war report that is not suitable for disclosure, the **** is unstoppable, and the blade has been pointed directly at the Yangtze River, and the foreign mediation that Chairman Chiang is counting on is known to anyone with a discerning eye and is not reliable. It would be nice to be able to fight a few beautiful battles, and it would be okay to scare the spirit of the Communist Party! But many generals of the party-state who had high hopes fell into the sand and returned with a feather, and Chen Dashuai, as a famous anti-Japanese general, had no way to push and avoid, and he was about to hang up the seal and go to the war. The official statement refers to his victory and brilliance, but Chen Dashuai has begun to arrange a way back for his family.
His beloved daughter was engaged, and Chen Dashuai was also a little bit determined in his heart, but in addition, he discussed with his wife: "If you fight, you should avoid it first." When the Japanese came in, there was still a big rear to go. Originally, the Communist Party was fighting a mass war, and the mountains and villages were full of their people, so in my opinion, it was better to go farther. β
"Then when Si Ling finishes the engagement banquet, I'll take them to Hong Kong first." Mrs. Chen said, "That's the foreigner's territory, it's always safe?" β
Chen Dashuai prefers Taiwan: "It's better there." Don't look at it as an island, the area can reach 60 Shanghai! can accumulate troops, and across the strait, American ships can also come over to help patrol. How can Hong Kong be compared? The land of projectiles, so close to the mainland, grenades can be thrown, and the Communist Party rushes and everything is over. β
Mrs. Chen disagreed, smiled a little, and said slowly: "With the Queen's flag here, does the Communist Party really dare to rush?" β
Chen Dashuai wanted to speak and stopped, and said tactfully: "Foreigners can rely on it, but they can't rely on it all." It's okay to go to Hong Kong first, but use it as a springboard and go to Taiwan in the end. In case the situation is not good, everyone will squeeze to Hong Kong, for fear of being aggrieved. It is not as big as Taiwan, and the climate is actually better than Hong Kong, so it is comfortable to live in. β
This tactful remark had already shocked Mrs. Chen: "Will so many people escape? Staying for so long? Could it be that **** can really eat the mainland? β
Chen Dashuai squeezed out a smile to comfort him: "It's not like this, it's just that we are in China, you know, from top to bottom, there are never few desperate people, and many people flee for their lives." Also, there are a lot of horizontal nests, do you really want to fight, don't force yourself to the door, don't use your real skills. So I guess the **** will make trouble for a while, and maybe it will come over a little more, and then there will be more people who will run away with the trend, so you might as well go first. Although Hong Kong is prosperous, how can it squeeze so many people, it is not as good as Taiwan. β
Mrs. Chen said, "Then why don't you go to a foreign country to recuperate?" In fact, it is not necessarily much more expensive than Hong Kong. Besides, the son-in-law has an industry overseas. At this time, she finally admired Chen Dashuai Mingjian, and it was convenient to recruit a foreign son-in-law.
Chen Dashuai muttered: "You can also consider it." After all, the engagement banquet of the second girl was held first. Although it is said that the Jiang family is in a hurry, they can still do it. β
Mrs. Chen also agreed: "Except for our family Xiao'er, there are not many people like him." β
Chen Dashuai looked at his wife and smiled. Mrs. Chen was a little flustered: "What's the matter?" β
Chen Dashuai said: "I've heard of the leper son's own goodness. You weren't born, you are so short-sighted. β
Mrs. Chen took a sip, shook her hand and left. The hand flung to the tip of Chen Dashuai's nose, and Chen Dashuai salivated and pulled it. Mrs. Chen hurriedly said, "Let it go!" I'm going to pick out the decorations for the banquet. Heyβ"
The sound is getting quieter. The old mother closed the door again. (To be continued.) )
