Chapter 228: Meet the Parents
"Chen Jiu, you see that there is nothing wrong with me wearing it like this, right?" Cui Can's body is wearing a Chanel suit, the lilac makes Cui Can's skin even more crystalline, and the design of the body also makes Cui Can's waist more slender, even the skirt on the lower body, which makes Cui Can's legs straight and slender. Let Chen Jiu look at how perfect, not to mention that Cui Can has a rare light makeup today, which highlights the advantages of her body to be more perfect.
"You're so beautiful today, I regret taking you home." After Cui Can agreed to his marriage proposal last night, Chen Jiu called the old man and told the old man to bring someone back to him today. Although I knew that the old man would be happy, I never thought that the old man would happily call the whole family back today. So he also has some pressure in his heart, but the pressure is not from his family, but from Cui Can. With such an excellent her, will she be embarrassed by those people at home? Although there is an old man, those people don't dare to do too much, but when he thinks of his uncles and aunts, he feels a headache.
Cui Can exhaled nervously and gave him a blank look. "Is the gift I prepared really okay?" She listened to Chen Jiu's suggestion and made a gift of the pair of words she wrote. It's not that she doesn't have confidence in herself, after all, her handwriting is now very good, not only has she been recognized by many professors, but she also has a certain reputation in the calligraphy and painting world. But isn't this gift a little too light?
"It's okay, my grandfather loved gifts like this. Besides, what do you buy? He lacks nothing now. Chen Jiu knows the popularity of Cui Can's characters in the calligraphy and painting world, and the old man likes to collect calligraphy and paintings. Isn't that what it seems? If Cui Can's cooking skills are good, he can also cook a table of meals for the old man, which can also make the old man happy. It's a pity that Cui Can's craftsmanship. There's really nothing outstanding about it, it's worse than yourself.
Cui Can still felt that his gift was a little light, "Why don't I go buy some other gifts?" ”
Chen Jiu smiled helplessly, and at this time, he realized again that Cui Can cared about him. "Okay, let's go buy some more gifts."
The car being driven. I turned a corner at the crossing and went to the supermarket to buy some imported fruits. Looking at the gift of only a few hundred yuan, Cui Can still felt that the gift was lighter. "Why don't we go buy some bird's nest shark fin or something?"
Chen Jiu's head was full of black lines. It turns out that Cui Can still has such a lack of confidence. "That's enough, we're almost there."
He saw it, if it wasn't enough, Cui Can might not want to buy anything.
"It's coming. Here it comes. Brother Jiu's car is back. In the Chen family's compound, as soon as Chen Jiu's car stopped, he heard the sound of shouting at the gate. You don't have to ask, you know, it must be the younger sister of the uncle's family.
"This is the twelfth sister of my little uncle's family, and she is more lively." Looking at the active figure at the gate, Chen Jiu said to Cui Can. On the way here. Chen Jiu briefly introduced the situation at home to Cui Can.
Chen Jiu's father is the grandfather's second son, and he has an older brother on top. One elder sister and three younger brothers below. And in Chen Jiu's generation, there are thirteen brothers and sisters. He is the ninth child and is naturally called Chen Jiu, and the younger sister just now is the twelveth, and there is a little brother who is also from the little uncle's family, and the sister and brother are twins.
After Chen Twelve saw Brother Jiu get out of the car, he ran into the house and shouted at his grandfather and uncles. "Brother Nine is back, and his girlfriend." This is the first time Chen Jiu has brought a girl to the house, so the whole family is very curious about the identity and appearance of the other party, although it is not a holiday, but they rushed back to the old house early.
Listening to Chen Twelve's words, the young people in the room all craned their necks to look out. Even Chen Jiu's parents looked at the door expectantly, and the most calm person in the house was the old man.
"What are you shouting, you will enter the house in a while, why are you in a hurry? Besides, look at you, you're twenty-five or sixteen, and you're still like a child, how can you get married like this? ”
Chen Twelve, who was counted down by his grandfather, pouted dissatisfiedly. "Grandpa is just eccentric, why don't you say Brother Jiu? Every time I see someone and have to talk about it, I wonder if I'm your own granddaughter. Are you so eager for me to get married? ”
was counted down by his granddaughter, and the old man was not unhappy, but said with a smile: "Yes, I am looking forward to your family, so that I can harm each other." ”
"Grandpa? How can you say that about me? I'm your favorite granddaughter. "I thought that the head of the family was prosperous and the yin was declining, so Chen Twelve, as the only two granddaughters, was very liked by the old man, otherwise he would not dare to quarrel with the old man like this.
"How did you talk to Grandpa? Hurry up to the door and see if your ninth brother has come in? "It was a noblewoman in her fifties, and if she didn't know her age, she wouldn't have seen two children in her twenties just by her face, and if a stranger looked at her, she would be in her thirties. She is the mother-in-law of Chen 12 and Chen 13, and Shen Qiong, the fifth daughter-in-law of the Chen family.
made a grimace at his mother, and Chen Twelve said to his grandfather again: "Grandpa, you say, am I more cute or Brother Jiu?" "She is the only two girls in her life, and the other is the cousin of her aunt's family, who is already the mother of a teenager. Naturally, she can't be coquettish to her grandfather like her, so she always treats herself as the only girl to be coquettish with her grandfather, even if those brothers in the family have to let her.
"Auntie is ashamed, such a big person is still coquettish with grandpa." The one who spoke was a seven or eight-year-old boy, who was the grandson of the eldest of the Chen family and the son of Chen Er. Chen's children are already in their teens, so it's past time to be spoiled with others.
And the children of the Chen San family are also more than ten years old, so they can only watch their younger brother and aunt compete for favor, but they have no intention of going up. But if he doesn't move, it doesn't mean that others don't move, his fifth uncle's sister watched her younger brother and aunt compete for favor, so she also joined in the fun. Then the sons of the Chen Sixth family and the sons of the Chen Qi family also joined the team to compete for favor, and for a while, the old man was surrounded by children.
This made Chen Twelve, an aunt, embarrassed to compete with her nephews and nieces for favor, so she left her grandfather's side and stood behind the crowd. And Old Man Chen is very happy that his children and grandchildren are full. But it's a little unbearable to be surrounded by so many children.
He wanted to let the children leave, but he thought that he hadn't seen him for so long, and the children were happy to see him. But it's so noisy. He felt like his brain was going to pop out.
is still the eldest daughter-in-law, looking at the old man's unsightly face, she called out to the grandchildren who were jumping and screaming. "Okay, okay, your grandfather has a headache from your quarrel, hurry up and get me down."
The old family has five sons, so almost all of these grandchildren are from her family. Naturally, she was a little scared of her grandmother, so as soon as the old lady shouted, they all obediently dispersed from the old man's side. The little face was a little unwilling. Looking at grandpa's little eyes, there was also a little expectation.
The second family has three sons, and Chen Jiu is the youngest son. Because today is not a holiday, the other two sons did not come back because they were working in other places. But the child has always been with his grandparents, and he was there today.
The third son has two sons. All of them work in the capital. So I brought my wife and children here. There is only one son in the fourth son's family, and because he is a workaholic, he does not appear here at this time.
To say that the largest number of people present are the old family, and the most complete is also the old family. The old man glanced at his eldest son, who was silent, and sighed helplessly. This eldest son is a filial person, but he is not a parent. Just look at the relationship between his own sons, and he still let himself down.
The second son is a good one, and so are the grandchildren. But he is not interested in being in power, and the same is true of his ninth grandson, who is most satisfied. Even more simply escaped, and even did not even enter the government department.
When the old man was sighing, Cui Can and Chen Jiu had already entered the house. And when Cui Can saw the old man who was surrounded in the middle, he was stunned for a while. And the old man even squeezed his eyes at her mischievously, so that she didn't know how to express her opinion of this old man for a while.
"Grandpa, this is my girlfriend Cui Can." Chen Jiu saw the interaction between his grandfather and Cui Can, and although he was very curious, he didn't ask about his curiosity in front of so many people.
"Well, come and sit." The old man's naughtiness just now seemed to be the dazzle of Cui Can and Chen Jiu, no matter how you look at it at this time, he is a serious and respected old man.
Cui Can was pulled by Chen Jiu, and under the sight of more than 30 people in a room, he walked in front of the old man step by step. At this time, Cui Can believed that Chen Jiu told him that there were many members of their family. At this time, facing a room of men and women, she had the opportunity to sigh that there were so many people in the Chen family.
"Hello grandpa!" Cui Can walked up to the old man, saluted politely, and greeted the old man.
"Grandpa, this is a gift from Cui Can." Chen Jiu took out Cui Can's gift to his grandfather, a beautifully packaged gift box. The uncle of the Chen family beside the old man took it and handed it to the old man. The old man didn't care about any occasion, and opened the gift box directly.
He also said, "Girl, are you giving me your ink treasure now?" The old man was still thinking about what this girl promised him the last time he met Cui Can.
When the old man said this, the whole room was staring at Cui Can, and the line of sight that had been looking at Cui Can became sharper. This makes Cui Can even more aware of what kind of relationship this family is.
"Canton, are you tired?" When Cui Can and Chen Jiu left the Chen family's old mansion, Cui Can's great body felt a little unbearable. So in the face of Chen Jiu's concern, she didn't pretend to be virtuous, and nodded sincerely.
"Tired, so tired! I knew I wasn't good at interpersonal communication, but I didn't expect to face such a social interaction at home, and I was really tired! As he spoke, Cui Can leaned completely into the back of the car to let his body completely relax.
Chen Jiu touched her long hair distressedly, "I'm sorry, I don't want you to be so tired, but this is not my choice." Who called our family so many? It's good that we don't usually live together. ”
Although the old man is still there, it is his uncle's family who lives with him, and their grandchildren have another place to live. The old man didn't ask everyone to go back often, as long as they went back on the New Year's Day. Grandma left early, so although grandpa liked to be clean by himself, but the uncle and father couldn't agree. So only the uncle and aunt live with the grandfather, and the brothers in their family all live separately, but they will go back to accompany their parents and grandfather on weekends.
Cui Can naturally knows what is going on, but today she has met so many Chen family members at once, and she feels a headache. Fortunately, the memory of her life is very strong, otherwise there are so many people, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to remember them all at once, right?
"Your parents don't seem to like to talk, do they? And your two older brothers, what kind of people are they? ”
Chen Jiu smiled when he heard Cui Can's question, "It's not that my parents don't like to talk, but they don't like to talk at home. After all, so many people, each sentence, when it comes to them, they have lost the ability to speak. So they don't talk much at family meetings unless they have to. As for my two older brothers, they are both good older brothers. ”
Otherwise, he would not have put the expectations of his parents at home on himself, so that he could freely choose what he liked. Even if his parents are dissatisfied with him, they will also help him find a way to solve it. He didn't have much to say about his brother, but he didn't like his sisters-in-law very much.
He only said that his brother was good, and Cui Can also knew what he didn't say below. He nodded, indicating that he knew what he had to say. "Our school is already on vacation, and I will go back tomorrow to accompany my parents, and I will prepare to go abroad after the Spring Festival."
It's not that she doesn't want to be with Chen Jiu, it's just that she wants to be with her parents more. Her rebirth is for the health and longevity of her family, so even if she is already very concerned about Chen Jiu at this time, she will not give up the time with her parents for him. She was even thinking about taking her parents to her.
Chen Jiu didn't have much emotion about Cui Can's words, because he had long known Cui Can's plans, and he really faced it today, although he was reluctant, he would not ask to be with Cui Can all the time. "Okay, when I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll go back to accompany you."
He also wanted to go to Cui Can's house for a long time, not only to let her parents know more about him, but also to let her relatives and friends know that Cui Can was his girlfriend and Cui Can's boyfriend.
Cui Can was very satisfied with Chen Jiu's answer, because she was not the kind of little woman who wanted her boyfriend to be by her side all the time, and naturally she didn't want her boyfriend to be the kind of little man who asked her to be by his side at all times. Chen Jiu can be so rational, she is very satisfied. (To be continued......)
