Chapter 477: Engagement (2)

Yang Mingyuan has no objection to his daughter liking Chang Qian and marrying Chang Qian, he is still very optimistic about Chang Qian's future prospects, and at the same time, through the contact in the past few years, he is also very satisfied with Chang Qian's character, thinking that his daughter will definitely be very happy in the future when she marries Chang Qian.

But Yang Mingyuan's wife Jing Jing doesn't think so, she is a sharp-minded woman, she carefully observed the situation of Huihui and Chang Qian together, and found that every time Huihui saw Chang Qian, her eyes were shining and her face was full of joy, and she deliberately flattered Chang Qian; As for Chang Qian, he didn't even smile at the bottom of his eyes, and he was polite to Huihui, a kind of indifference and alienation that was well hidden by gentlemanly demeanor! What does this mean? It shows that Chang Qian has no love for his daughter Huihui at all!

Although Jing Jing is also highly educated, she is also a woman who grew up in an old-style feudal family, and at this time her thoughts are still stuck in the fact that a woman's life is bound to a man, and a woman who is literate and goes abroad to study and write is just to add some capital when she gets married.

As a woman with rich life experience, Jing Jing naturally knows the difference between a woman marrying a man who loves her and marrying a man she loves. In married life, whether a man loves or pampers his wife will have a completely different impact on his wife's life, and his sister-in-law Yang Liu is a very typical example.

You must know that the sister-in-law Yang Liu was a famous lady and beauty in Shanghai's high society, and after the sister-in-law Chang Baogui married the sister-in-law, she was also very spoiled, she was really afraid of falling in her hands, and she was afraid of melting in her mouth, and her sister-in-law's married life in those years was simply more comfortable than when she was a girl, and who did not envy her relatives and friends at home for marrying well, and the old man would pick a son-in-law? And now? Isn't it worth the selfishness of men?

And if Chang Baogui's heart is filled with sister-in-law. How could my sister-in-law get to this situation? No matter how bad it is, I will definitely send my living expenses over, so how can I afford my sister-in-law and three sons to suffer like that? Because of these reasons, Ning Jingjing was opposed to her daughter Huihui marrying Chang Qian, but unfortunately the final right to speak in the family did not belong to her, Yang Mingyuan agreed, and her daughter's heart was in Chang Qian, so she could only hold back her anger in her heart. So the smile on her face at this time made people look a little awkward.

"Uncle. Auntie, Brother Cong, and Huihui are here! Sit here! Chang Qian smiled at the family standing in front of the door with a perfect smile on his face.

"You damn girl. Don't listen to your mother! The days of crying are ahead! Engagement is a big event in a woman's life! But look at it, it's shabby than the countryman's engagement before, and it's up to you how you live in the future! Tranquility stood at the door and looked at the small living room and dilapidated furnishings of the Chang family. Some hated iron and steel, and glanced at the daughter who was following him.

"Say less!" Yang Mingyuan looked at Chang Qian, and saw that the look on Chang Qian's face did not become embarrassed by his wife's words, so he whispered to Ning Jing with a warning tone. At the same time, I admired Chang Qian in my heart that he could be so quiet at a young age, and he would become a great weapon in the future. I value this future son-in-law even more.

But in the quiet view. This kind of Chang Qian is insidious and cunning, and he is even more worried about the future of his naïve daughter. As for Yang Huihui. She didn't pay attention to all the considerations in her parents' hearts, and at this time, her eyes were all about the handsome, elegant and charming brother Qian in front of her. Like all little women who fall into love fantasies, at this time she is full of thoughts that as long as she can be with her beloved, it is the happiest thing in the world. As for her mother's worries, she seemed to them to be overwhelmed.

Yang Cong, on the other hand, has always received a Western-style education. For Xiaomei's marriage, there is neither Yang Mingyuan's sophistication. There is no quiet worry, in his opinion, Chang Qian is not good for Hui Hui, and Hui Hui no longer loves Chang Qian, so it will be separated!

In fact, Chang Qian, the eldest aunt Ning Huihui's words, heard them clearly, but he didn't have the ability to refute them, because what the eldest aunt said was not only true, but also pierced his proud heart bloody at this time, and it took a lot of effort for him to keep the perfect smile on his face.

"Brother Qian!" Huihui was worried that her mother's words would hurt Chang Qian, and then the engagement banquet she had been looking forward to for a long time ended without a problem, so she looked at Chang Qian with a little humility and a little pleading. Chang Qian's eyes slashed at Huihui, who was full of his own eyes, and then thought that since he agreed to marry Huihui, his mother seemed to have become ten years younger and more energetic, and no longer looked like a person in the twilight of her life as she did in the past.

Chang Qian's heart couldn't help but soften, and the smile on his face also brought a little warmth, and even a little smile in his eyes, "Huihui, you are so beautiful today!" ”

"Really?" Huihui was dazzled by Chang Qian's smile, and her face slowly became stained with a layer of marital fat under Chang Qian's gaze.

Yang Mingyuan looked at Chang Qian and Huihui, who were standing together like the legendary golden boy and jade girl, and couldn't help laughing, raised his feet and entered the door. And Jing Jing hatefully pinched Huihui, who was distracted in Chang Qian's smile, and scolded in a low voice, "Wronged!" Only then did he enter the door behind Yang Mingyuan.

"Cousin, congratulations!" Yang Cong stepped forward and gave Chang Qian a Western-style hug, and at the same time sincerely congratulated him.

"Thank you!" Chang Qian broke free from Yang Cong's embrace, patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

Soon, Yang Liu's second brother Yang Minghua and fourth sister Yang Xu also came with a large family. As soon as there are many people, it seems that the Chang family is more cramped, but fortunately, it is built by Xiaoju, in the form of a buffet, so that everyone carries a plate or stands or sits, but it does not seem abrupt and the hospitality of the main family is not thoughtful.

Xiao Ju has been busy all day, except for breakfast at home, she has no time to eat, and when dinner is over, the two protagonists start to sign a marriage contract in the presence of their elders and relatives and friends, she finally has time to breathe.

"Sister, where are we here? I'm obviously here to be a Filipino maid! Zhuang Zhuang squatted in the kitchen with a plate and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone while eating. It's no wonder that Zhuang Zhuang is dissatisfied, Xiaoju's family was so busy that they didn't stop at all that day, and they didn't even have time to eat. No, now the family of three is hiding in the kitchen to eat leftovers, and the bustle in the living room has nothing to do with them at all.

"Just you talk a lot! You can't stop your mouth with food! Although Xiao Juniang was also a little uncomfortable in her heart, she thought that Yang Liu should not mean to slow them down, it was indeed too much, and there was no one else to help, so she couldn't be busy.

"Zhuangzhuang, my sister doesn't like you like this! It's a bit mean! If you don't wait for you to graduate from college, go to the United States for further study! By the way, help my sister! In the past year since Xiaoju returned to Hong Kong, although there are many things every day, it doesn't mean that she hasn't paid attention to her only brother. A strong mind is good, but the living environment and limited knowledge still limit the strong vision, not enough atmosphere, so there is a great obstacle to future development.

"Great!" When Zhuang Zhuang heard this, the dissatisfaction of being ignored by the Chang family had already flown to the back of his mind. But the joy on his face quickly disappeared after hearing the sound of Xiao Ju Niang's chopsticks falling to the ground, he quickly picked up the chopsticks that fell to the ground, looked at the mother who lost his mind because of Xiao Ju's words, and said: "Mother, don't worry!" I'm not going to the United States! I'll keep you! ”

"Mother, it's not that Zhuang Zhuang won't come back! What's more, you can go there too! If you really don't want to go, I'll come back to you then! Xiao Ju took the dirty chopsticks in Zhuangzhuang's hand, and then changed them and handed them to her mother cleanly.

"I'm going? I don't speak those foreigners! Xiao Ju Niang's face was lost, her children were too promising, and she, a mother, became a dragger.

"Mother, not all foreigners in the United States, there are also Chinese people like us! But if my mother doesn't want to go over, I'll come back then, anyway, when Zhuang Zhuang graduates, the pharmaceutical companies in the United States should have embarked on a virtuous circle, usually let Zhuang Zhuang watch on my behalf, and I'll take a break to see it! When I return to Hong Kong, I will develop the same. Xiao Ju saw the entanglement on her mother's face, in fact, she knew that the real reason why her mother was reluctant to leave Hong Kong was that several uncles and grandparents had fled to Hong Kong, and since they fled to Hong Kong, they had nowhere to inquire about the news.

For the people of his mother's family, except for Liu Zhu, who has been living together since he fled the famine, so he has a very deep feeling, the other people don't have much affection, but they don't hate it either. In the era when a ration of food meant an extra chance of life, people first preferred the children of their loved ones, so the expressions of several uncles before fleeing the famine were normal in Xiaoju's view. After all, there is something else to intimacy. Therefore, Xiao Ju did not have hatred for several uncles because of this.

Xiaoju also knew that in her mother's heart, she might think that as long as she stayed in Hong Kong, she would be able to go back one day, see her family, and return to her roots. And if you go across the ocean to the United States, the possibility of returning to your roots will no longer be possible!

"Xiaoju, can you really go back to Hong Kong?" Xiao Ju Niang looked at Xiao Ju with expectant eyes, and the look on her face was a little nervous.

"Of course! I can't stay in the U.S. either! What's more, I can't eat the delicious meals made by my mother! Xiao Ju stepped forward with sour eyes and hugged her mother, and said softly but surely. Yes, no matter how good the United States is, it is someone else's country, and no matter how eventful China is, it is also its own motherland! Illiterate mothers want to return to their roots, not to mention that she is a person with a two-life Chinese complex? If you have the opportunity, you still have to do your part for your motherland, so that you can let yourself live again with your memories in vain.

"What are you guys doing here? Don't want to clean up your living room? There's no place for the engagement cake! A somewhat reluctant but crisp voice interrupted the sensationalism of Xiaoju's family, especially Xiaoju's feelings. (To be continued)
