Chapter 39 The Marriage Covenant
Lan Jiawei and his family accompanied their parents and relatives to visit Los Angeles the next day, and went to Hollywood, which they have longed for a long time, in fact, now the movies are all digital special effects, and some attractions are also the remnants of the original very early period.
At noon, when they took everyone to Chinatown for dinner, Lan Jiawei and the others remembered that they had not yet taken the clothes they had ordered, so they were ready to go to the tailor shop.
Entering the store, Boss Zhang saw Lan Jiawei and the two, "Mr. Lan, it's all done, can you try it?" That's your parents, right? The size is about the same."
Seeing his parents' inquiring eyes: "Mom and Dad, I made a few holiday costumes, and you have them too"
Cheng Wu and the others were looking at the ready-to-wear in the store very calmly, after all, it was my sister's own family's business, and their family also liked the craftsmanship in the store, and they were going to buy a few Tang costumes for sale in this store to wear during the holidays.
In this way, everyone began to try on clothes, and the customized sizes were very good, very fitting, when Lan Jiawei and Chiyo stood together in the Qi costumes, Lan Dad made a joke: "What a handsome little brother and little sister", and was smashed by Lan Ma with a smile.
And when Chiyo tried on a kimono, she was amazed by her beautiful face, especially her jet-black hair and big eyes like that of a Japanese girl.
In the end, Cheng Wu's family also chose a satisfactory Tang costume, but was stopped by Cheng Ping when they wanted to pay: "Xiao Wu, let Xiao Wei do his best here, they are all a family." Cheng Wu no longer hypocritically excused himself, his nephew is not an outsider.
A few people found a Hunan restaurant to have lunch and continued shopping. Dad Lan must buy candlesticks and candles when he sees them, and Mom Lan can understand. said to Lan Jiawei: "Son, our family only has a small house over there, and now that you have a foundation, the ancestral tablet of the Lan family will be erected."
Lan Jiawei nodded, bought a lot of worship items, carried them by himself, and led everyone out of Chinatown.
Then after another day in Los Angeles, Lan Jiawei drove everyone away, because Zongsheng's family also planned to go to San Francisco to prepare for the holiday, so they got into the RV together, so it was very lively along the way.
Due to the strong wind on the road, everyone sat on the first floor and chatted, while Zong Sheng's two children went to the second floor to watch TV. Zong Shenghui Chinese and Cheng Wu are very close to each other, both of them like to do business, and they chat passionately together.
And Chiyo is the translator between her sister-in-law and Lan Ma, aunt Yao Fen, and cousin Cheng Wei, and they are also chatting happily, which are all topics that women like.
Dad Lan leaned comfortably on the seat next to his son, enjoying the scenery along Line 1 and chatting with his son.
"Xiaowei, I can't help you a lot in your career, look at this, the farm won't be bad, I have invited the tablet of the ancestors, you can arrange it then"
"Got it, Dad, the house is very big, you can go and know, I'll make a room when the time comes"
"Well, I've already applied for sick leave, and I guess I can do it next semester with it, and I haven't publicized your current situation, I've been scared and become careful."
"Dad, it's okay to leave early, our family doesn't ask for anything now, when the time comes, we will all be together, we can do whatever we want, no one dares to touch our own things here"
"You still have to be careful, don't be too high-profile, Dad reads a lot, and knows that there are super families in the United States, don't provoke them"
"Got it, I've always been very low-key"
Lan Qing "um" for a moment, stopped talking, and looked at the scenery.
Along the way, everyone stopped and stopped, because there were many attractions that even Chiyo and Sokatsu had never visited, so they walked for three days, because of the comfort and facilities of the RV, everyone did not feel tired, full of interest, and left countless photos. Seeing that his parents were no longer as depressed as they used to be, and had become radiant, Lan Jiawei felt very happy.
With 10 days to go before Chinese New Year's Eve, Lan Jiawei and his party finally arrived in San Francisco, first sending the Sokatsu family to the vicinity of their parents' house, and Chiyo also got off the car and went home because he was waiting for his lover's parents to come to the door tomorrow.
Not to mention that Lan Jiawei's family settled in the villa, Lan Ma was open to her villa with the idea of having a house and a field. Chiyo Tachibana is being asked by her parents here, although Tachibana Taro and his wife are speechless about their daughter wearing a diamond ring, but looking at the mutton fat jade bracelet on her daughter's wrist, Tachibana Taro is still very happy.
"Chiyo, it should be the tradition of the Han nationality to give you the bracelet, it seems that Jiawei has ancestors who are Han people, this pair of jade bracelets has a history of at least hundreds of years, you have to take care of it, don't break it"
"Ah, father. Is it worth that much? Then I have to be careful", and then said many interesting things and good things about his in-laws, and Zongsheng's family also had a good impression of Lan Jiawei's family, he felt very attached to Cheng Wu, and kept saying all kinds of good things.
Tachibana Taro and his wife Yoko looked at each other and smiled: "When my daughter grows up, she always has to get married, but your marriage period must be after you have completed your credits and can graduate"
Chiyo's face flushed: "Father, you can get a full score this semester"
Zong Sheng laughed: "My sister is afraid that Jiawei will run away, so she is a little anxious", and her sister rolled her eyes: "He won't run, he can't bear me"
The whole family laughed, but Tachibana Taro made a decision: "It's October, and I'll discuss it with my in-laws tomorrow."
On the afternoon of the next day, Lan Jiawei's family changed into formal clothes, speaking of which Lan Dad is actually quite handsome, but he has been under too much pressure and haggard over the years, and now after being in high spirits, he looks extremely elegant; And Lan Ma has been in a good mood recently, so she is particularly beautiful; Needless to say, Uncle Cheng Wu is very tall, strong, and heroic; Aunt Yao Fen is also pampered, dignified and elegant; Cousin Cheng Wei dressed up carefully, looking like a little beauty.
Lan Jiawei drove through the downtown area of San Francisco, and naturally gained a lot of envious glances on the RV on the way, because the yard of the Tachibana family was not large, after parking the car in the nearby parking lot, the family walked to the Chiyo family's house.
After everyone introduced each other, they all looked at each other. Yoko and Blue Mama both feel good about each other, and Yoko thinks that Blue Mama is not only taller than herself, but also beautiful and intellectual. Here, Daddy Lan shook hands with Tachibana Taro with an elegant smile on his face, and spoke English, and the two of them were also strange, their heights were shorter than their own wives, although their personalities were different, but they were also very close to each other.
Lan Jiawei glanced at his fiancée with a wry smile, and Chiyo reacted: "Father, mother, let's go in and talk about it."
Tachibana Taro was a little embarrassed: "Oh, really, I feel that Brother Lan is very close to each other, and I forgot about it while I spoke, I'm sorry, everyone." Please sit inside."
Lan Jiawei's family exhaled secretly when they went in, "Fortunately, it's a Western-style home, otherwise I'm really not used to it", Lan Ma sent the hometown famous tea brought by China, which made Tachibana and his wife like it very much.
After everyone sat down, they chatted for a while and then relaxed. Chiyo was sent by her mother to cook dinner, and Lan Jiawei was doing all kinds of translation. At this time, Lan Ma didn't talk much, this was a matter for the men in the family, so she sat and listened.
"Brother Lan, since you all came to the door today, I won't beat around the bush. Chiyo's heart has been captured by JAVY, and her credits have risen rapidly recently, so there should be no problem with graduating this semester, so, we recommend a wedding in October, what do you think? ”
"Brother Tachibana, I don't have any opinions with my wife and his uncle, my family Jiawei has never been so serious about any girl, as a father I like Chiyo very much, and my wife likes it even more, so we agree with your arrangement."
Then the two mothers also expressed their wishes, and they had no opinion on the wedding time of the two. After getting down to business, everyone relaxed and talked about some other topics. Of course, Tachibana Taro and his wife will not be mindless to ask how many heirlooms the Lan family has, it is someone else's **.
When dinner started, because Lan Jiawei had to drive and couldn't drink, his uncle Cheng Wu, as the main force, kept pushing and changing glasses with his in-laws. Lan Jiawei had already told his relatives the rules of Tachibana's food silence, so the dinner ended not long after, and when they all sat down in the living room and served drinks, everyone began to chat enthusiastically.
