Chapter 476: Engagement (1)
Because when the knock sounded, Xiao Ju Niang was making breakfast in the kitchen, and Zhuang Zhuang was listening to the English radio in the room, so only Xiao Ju, who stayed in the living room and stretched out, heard the knock on the door early in the morning.
"Who's early in the morning?" Xiao Ju muttered a little lazily as she walked towards the door.
"Aunt Yang?!" As soon as Xiaoju opened the door, she saw Yang Liu with a happy face, although she was a little surprised, she still politely let Yang Liu into the house. You must know that she went to Yang's house for a courtesy visit after returning to Hong Kong this time, and obviously felt that Yang Liu was enthusiastic on the surface, but she was not very welcoming in her heart, so before returning to Hong Kong, the idea of letting Chang Qian take charge of the business of the pharmaceutical company in Hong Kong was also dispelled. She didn't think that she would help others and make people feel that she owed the other party a favor. In fact, Yang Liu did not welcome Xiaoju to his home, but was afraid that his eldest son Chang Qian would start to resist Huihui again when he saw Xiaoju.
"Xiaoju, where is your mother?" Yang Liu's poor and old face has been living in poverty over the years, revealing some brilliance because of the joy in his heart, coupled with today's special and careful decoration, the whole person looks a lot younger, exuding a bit of the style of the year.
"My mother was making breakfast in the kitchen! You come in and take a seat! Xiao Ju opened the door as she spoke, and at the same time praised in a very sincere tone, "Aunt Yang, you are so beautiful today!" ā
"Really?" Yang Liu listened to Xiaoju's praise, and the smile on his face deepened a little, and he really looked like he was in good spirits on a happy event.
"Sister Liu, you're here!" At this time, Xiao Juniang came out of the kitchen with a large plate of steaming egg cakes in her hand, and her eyes happened to meet Yang Liu's line of sight.
"Sister Liu, my family is engaged the day after tomorrow, and I want to invite people from your family to be lively!" Seeing Xiao Ju Niang, the smile lines on Yang Liu's face deepened a little. In the past few years, it has really been thanks to Xiao Ju Niang's help and explanation, otherwise it would be really difficult for her to survive to this day. If it weren't for Qian'er's infatuation with Xiaoju, the relationship between the two would be even closer.
"This ......" Xiao Ju Niang's face showed a little embarrassment, the day after tomorrow is the day when Xiao Ju leaves Hong Kong, and this time she must not be able to see each other for a long time, she doesn't want to be able to send Xiao Ju.
"Mother, Brother Chang Qian's engagement is a big deal! Our whole family is definitely here to congratulate! It's okay if I'm two days late! Xiao Ju saw the embarrassment on her mother's face. Naturally, the reason is known. Speak immediately.
When Yang Liu heard Xiao Ju say this, she knew that Xiao Ju was leaving, and she only knew that Xiao Ju was in the United States. But they don't know what to do in the United States. She always thought that Xiaoju was studying in the United States, just like her eldest brother's sons, who all tried their best to go to the United Kingdom to study and receive a real British elite education. She also used to be jealous of Xiao Ju Niang. is obviously a village woman who can't read big words, but she has raised a pair of sons who are so capable. She can even earn the cost of studying abroad, but she, a highly talented student who graduated from Jinling Women's University, has been reduced to the point that she can barely support her sons, let alone study abroad.
As soon as Xiao Ju Niang heard that Xiao Ju could excuse herself for a few days, she was happy. For Yang Liu, he was even more enthusiastic, "Sister Yang, come on." Try my pancakes! Today's cake is different from usual, this is my little chrysanthemum! ā
"Oh?" Yang Liu looked at the plate of pancakes served by Xiao Ju Niang. I don't think it's any different from what I used to eat. Xiao Ju Niang didn't rush to explain, but shouted to Xiao Ju, who was helping Yang Liu pour tea, "Xiao Ju, go and take out the ingredients prepared in the kitchen, and let Aunt Yang taste the taste of that cake!" ā
Xiaoju put the brewed tea on the coffee table next to the willow, looking at her mother's swaggering appearance, she didn't feel a little funny, the bread in her mother's mouth was just the way she ate Peking duck in her previous life, but the dough with various ingredients was replaced with pancakes. But this classic way of eating with this classic combination has stood the test of time, how can it not be delicious?
Although Xiao Ju was full of her mother's showmanship, she also obediently went to the kitchen to put the thinly sliced cooked meat, shredded green onions, washed lettuce and the bean sauce that had been prepared long ago on a plate.
"It tastes so good! Delicious and filling! Your little chrysanthemum is really smart! Yang Liu wrapped a bun cake and took a bite according to Xiao Juniang's instructions, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, "Sister Liu, you teach me!" The day after tomorrow, this dish will be served at my family's Qian'er's engagement wedding! ā
"Got engaged and didn't go to the hotel?" Xiao Ju, who was sitting on the side eating bread and listening, opened her mouth unconsciously.
"How can the family have that money? Fortunately, my daughter-in-law Huihui is sensible and doesn't care! Yang Liu's tone was a little sour and a little proud.
"Huihui is a good girl! You will be blessed in the future! Xiao Ju Niang secretly glanced at Xiao Ju and praised her.
"I don't care if I enjoy the happiness or not, the most important thing is that Huihui likes my family Chang Qian, and Chang Qian is a hundred and obedient!" Yang Liu glanced at Xiao Ju and said meaningfully. As for Xiao Ju, his mind had already turned to a few urgent telegrams from Willy, thinking that it would be good if he had a phone or mobile phone from his previous life, and everything could be communicated clearly from a distance. So she didn't listen to Yang Liu's sour words at all.
"Blessed is Chang Qian! Let's go to the kitchen! I'll teach you to do it now! I'll help you the day after tomorrow! Xiao Juniang didn't think too much about it, and after accosting a casual sentence, she pulled Yang Liu to the kitchen with enthusiasm on her face.
Soon two days passed, early in the morning, Xiao Ju Niang called Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Ju, as for the snack shop, it had already been posted with a note of "the owner has something to do, take a day off".
"Mother, it's not your son who is engaged, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhuang Zhuang, who slept late at night, muttered angrily when he got up.
"Usually the three brothers of the Chang family will help when there is something at home, but now that they have something at home, you just mutter! See if I don't knock you! "Xiao Ju Niang's age is not old, her ears are naturally not back, and although the strong muttering is not loud, she can still hear it clearly, and it will be on fire now.
"Mother, I don't mean to be strong!" Xiao Ju saw that her mother's hand was slapped towards Zhuangzhuang's head, so she naturally stepped forward to stop her, as for Zhuangzhuang, she had already cleverly hid behind Xiao Ju, but she still muttered a little unconvinced, "It's not that I don't want to help, but I think it's too early!" Many families haven't eaten breakfast at this time! ā
"Since I'm here to help, I'm naturally going early! Your brother Qian's engagement is done at home, and there will definitely be a lot of things! Come over early to help, so that Aunt Yang can relax faster! Xiao Ju Niang stared at Zhuang Zhuang and sighed, I don't know what happened in the past few years, and her son has become more and more estranged from the three brothers of the Chang family.
Only Zhuang Zhuang knows his own things, and he has long known Chang Qian's thoughts about his sister. And Yang Liu's attitude of disliking his sister because he doesn't like Chang Qian has always been in his eyes and in his heart. From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Ju's status in Zhuangzhuang's heart is far higher than Xiao Ju Niang's, in his memory, every time he was on the verge of life and death, it was his sister who rescued him, so as long as he didn't like Xiao Ju, he would be alienated.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you've learned to talk back to your mother! Mother raised you so big, just to make you angry with her? Xiao Ju dragged Zhuang Zhuang out from behind and deliberately pushed it in front of Xiao Ju Niang, "Mother, give you a few blows to vent your anger!" The mother left her house with a smile and went to Yangliu's house.
When Xiaoju's family of three arrived at Yang Liu's house, they found that they came in time, the Chang family was a woman in Yangliu, although the three sons have also learned to do housework in recent years, but they can only cook some simple meals, and although Yang Liu has already recognized his current level of life, he still loves face, and at the same time wants to do his best to give his son a decent engagement. It's a pity that her ability alone is limited, so Xiao Ju and her early arrival was really as Xiao Ju Niang expected, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
But soon Xiaoju found that their arrival had made the Chang family even more crowded and messy. Sighing secretly, it seems that Yang Liu can take his three sons to this day, it is really not an easy task, that Chang Baogui himself is really blind, for so many years, he really ignores these mothers and sons! I thought the other party was a good man at first!
In the end, under Xiao Ju's construction, the engagement dinner was turned into a buffet format, Yang Liu and Xiao Ju Niang made it in the kitchen, and she, Zhuang Zhuang and Chang Li were responsible for all kinds of shopping. As for Chang Qian and Chang Gong, they are responsible for receiving all visitors. Because of Xiao Ju's mention yƬ, it quickly made a qiÄ become orderly.
Today's Chang Qian is actually in a very complicated mood, he doesn't love his cousin Huihui, but he can't bear to make his mother sad anymore, plus in the past few years, he has also understood that the Xiao Ju he loves has no self in his heart, in this case, it is not impossible to get engaged to his cousin to make his mother happy, but seeing Xiao Ju who is helping him at this time, his heart is uncontrollable and throbbing, but he also knows that after today, there will always be two parallel lines between him and Xiao Ju.
But soon Chang Qian couldn't think about it anymore, and the guests came to the door one after another. Because the Chang family's economic situation is not good, and Chang Qian doesn't want to even get engaged and ask the woman's family to pay for the hotel, so he settled at home, and only invited two uncles and an aunt, as well as Xiaoju's family.
Yang Liu has two older brothers and a younger sister, these two brothers and sisters immigrated to Hong Kong when the new government changed in the mainland, because there is Chang Baogui in advance, they not only sold most of the assets in the inland at a good price, but also established new businesses and new contacts after moving to Hong Kong, if Chang Baogui also moved to Hong Kong back then, the Chang family should still be a rich family, and the life of Yang Liu and the three Chang brothers would not be like this.
Today's heroine Yang Huihui is the daughter of Yang Liu's eldest brother Yang Mingyuan, and their family is the first to come to the door at this time. Yang Mingyuan has only one son and a baby daughter. Son Yang Cong went to the United Kingdom for further study after graduating from university, and his daughter also planned to send him to the United Kingdom for further study, whether she was marrying or finding a job in the future, she would have more capital, but she didn't expect this daughter to fall in love with her sister's son, and everyone had already known about her sister's family change, Yang Mingyuan had also secretly helped a lot in recent years, and he believed that his younger brother and youngest sister had also secretly helped, otherwise according to Yang Liu's ability and body, how could he survive until the day when Chang Qian supported his family?
