Chapter 411: Fanwai (In-laws)
γγγγ
This Nima!
What she said made sense, and Sun Chen found himself speechless.
So during the whole movie screening, Ning Xin was really watching the movie seriously, except for the gap when the plot progressed, she would stare at the screen and grab a handful of popcorn from Sun Chen's arms, and she couldn't glance at Sun Chen the whole time. And Sun Chen looked at her with deep resentment for a while, and then turned his head to look at the couples around him with deep resentment, turning grief and anger into appetite, and most of the snacks he bought for recreation were unconsciously wiped out by him.
Finally, when the movie was over, Ning Xin patted the hand that she had been using to grab popcorn to eat, turned her head to Sun Chen and smiled slightly: "Let's go!" β
Sun Chen and Ning Xin's way of getting along is really very different from ordinary couples.
Ning Xin's experience from childhood to adulthood determines that she can't be like other girls, and almost everything she encounters has to be solved by herself, which also develops her independent character of never thinking about how to rely on others when she encounters problems.
This is also the reason why Sun Chen liked her at that time.
These modern girls, because they are deeply poisoned by some romance dramas, unconsciously put themselves in the position of princesses, and people all over the world come to revolve around them, and all they need to do is to be coquettish and dress themselves up beautiful every day.
All the hard work and dirty work are naturally done by the many men around me who want to be attentive.
Sun Chen never felt that there was anything wrong with men standing in the way no matter what they encountered, but he didn't like it either, those girls not only didn't remember what they did to themselves, but also took it for granted.
But after getting along slowly, Sun Chen still hopes that Ning Xin can occasionally remove her strong shell and leave everything to herself to help her.
These have nothing to do with the so-called machismo, they are purely Sun Chen's own lack of greed.
has such a worry-free and independent girlfriend, and he still wants to be greedy to have Ning Xin's innocence.
When they came out of the movie theater, it was not early, and Sun Chen didn't drag Ning Xin around the pedestrian street for long, and before half past ten, he sent her home.
Seeing that it was Ning Guotong who opened the door, Sun Chen's eyes flashed, it seems that the future father-in-law still has high means, and this has already entered the house?
However, Sun Chen's heart was still very happy that the two of them could ease their relationship. After only meeting Han Lili twice, Sun Chen was already able to determine that that woman would definitely not be a good match.
The mother-in-law is reasonable, but in the past ten years, she has suffered a lot, and she should have a stable and prosperous old age.
Seeing Sun Chen send his daughter back, although Ning Guotong's heart that had been worried all night was put down, there was also a sour feeling.
Especially when he saw Ning Xin holding his arm and smiling at him, Ning Guotong couldn't wait to step forward and quickly tear off his daughter's arm.
He remembered that when his daughter was a child, he liked to let himself sit on his shoulders the most, and at a young age, he shook his head and said, "Only by climbing high can you see far" coquettish appearance, the astringency in his heart is even more obvious.
Fortunately, Sun Chen still had some eyes, and saw that his father-in-law did not like him, so he didn't dare to stay in Ningxia for long, and after saying hello to him and Qi Meijuan, he went back to his home.
Ning Xin was a little surprised that Ning Guotong stayed overnight in his house, under the same roof, with the relationship between him and his mother, after all, it was a little embarrassing. But she thought about it, if she hadn't seen it so clearly, her mother wouldn't have spit out and left him, so she didn't say a word, and after greeting the two, she went back to her room.
β¦β¦
The next morning, Ning Guotong was leaving, after all, his identity was there, and there were still many things in the Dingsheng Ju that he needed to make a decision after he went back.
Glancing at Qi Meijuan, who had been deliberately keeping a distance from him, Ning Guotong turned his head to say goodbye to Ning Xin.
"I'll go back first, and I'll come back on the wedding day, and if you have anything during this time, just call me."
"yes, I see." Ning Xin nodded obediently.
"Also, even if you and Sun Chen's kid have been talking about marriage during this time, you should pay attention to the things you should avoid, and you still have to pay attention to them."
"Oh, I see, I'll pay attention to it later." Ning Xin lowered her head and listened to Ning Guotong's verbosity, she knew very well in her heart how much she yearned for such verbosity.
When she was a child, because she didn't have a father, she was ridiculed by the other children in the class, but her mother would gently tell herself every time that she was not a child without a father. It's because of the mistakes that Dad made in the past, and he really repented.
As long as he has such an attitude.
Qi Meijuan took a bag of fruit that had been cut and wrapped in plastic wrap, and stood aside to watch the interaction between the two of them.
Such a scene seems to be a father who is about to go out to work, because he can't worry about his wife and daughter at home, and he tirelessly instructs word by word. And the sensible and well-behaved daughter stood in front of him, bowing her head and listening to his teachings.
In the past ten years, she has fantasized about such a scene countless times, but there has never been a moment that can make her feel so warm and gratified.
β¦β¦
Twenty days passed quickly, and the wedding of Sun Chen and Ning Xin was also being prepared in an orderly manner.
In fact, from the preparation of the entire wedding to how the specific process of that day needs to be arranged, most of the things were agreed upon by Leng Yue and Qi Meijuan.
Sun Jianjun was responsible for working on the side and taking out the money when the things arrived at home.
Sun Chen and Ning Xin were treated as props, and they had to be 'manipulated' by the two mothers who worked hard every day.
But for this matter, the two of them have absolutely no complaints, because all of this is a manifestation of their love for themselves.
So even if Ning Xin tried on the red satin clothes used for the chapel on the wedding day dozens of times, she still didn't have a stinky face.
It was also at this time that Ning Xin discovered how tedious the work of fashion designers, especially custom clothing designers, who had always thought they were glamorous and sought after.
Just a line that is accidentally exposed will be called to you by the owner of the money. And if you can't give a more stable solution immediately, even Qi Meijuan, who has a better temper, will put on a very unhappy face.
β¦β¦
"Okay, I don't think I need to modify the clothes anymore, let's go see something else!"
Looking at Ning Xin's red makeup with satisfaction, Qi Meijuan nodded, and then motioned for Ning Xin to change it.
β¦β¦
Walking on the street with Leng Yue, Qi Meijuan's eyes wandered, and almost every time she saw something, she would subconsciously imagine whether such a thing would be particularly suitable for her daughter's body, or somewhere in their new home.
"What's wrong? What do you fancy again? Leng Yue asked out loud.
After getting along for a while, Leng Yue has discovered that her mother-in-law is really a particularly interesting person.
may be afraid that if the conditions are raised too much, it will increase the burden on her family, and she will be angry with her daughter, Leng Yue has never seen Qi Meijuan offer to buy anything.
Leng Yue has never thought about it like this, anyway, their custom here is that the in-laws prepare the house, and there are some bits and pieces, and the woman only needs to be responsible for the appearance of Meimei on the wedding day.
Of course, for herself, who may be the only daughter-in-law in this life, Leng Yue definitely has illusions in her heart.
She hopes that her daughter-in-law can be reasonable, docile and well-behaved. And after getting along with Ning Xin in the restaurant for such a long time, Leng Yue has already put the image of her daughter-in-law on Ning Xin's body.
Ning Xin's independence and strength, with her cold moon and fiery temperament, seems to be very satisfied.
"I saw an advertisement last night, saying that Jiufu Jewelry is celebrating this anniversary, and there will be special rewards, and all the jewelry bought from them will have a lottery, let's go there and have a look!"
Even if gold jewelry is not as popular as it used to be, their customs here still need something to decorate the faΓ§ade.
What is popular now is hardware, necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, plus five kinds of gold ornaments, which need to be given to the bride-to-be by the in-laws before they get married.
In fact, Qi Meijuan didn't want to follow such a thing at all, with her mother as the bride in front of her, even if the Sun family wanted to save, they were embarrassed to be nervous about it.
But no matter how much she prevaricated, she couldn't resist Leng Yue's enthusiasm, and finally followed her half-way, and came to the Jiufu Jewelry Store where the advertisement was doing activities.
With the eyes of Qi Meijuan and Leng Yue, the shopping guide recommended two sets of gold jewelry to them, which looked very good, and Leng Yue turned her head to ask her in-laws' opinions.
"Meijuan girl, which one do you think is good-looking?"
"That's it!" Qi Meijuan pointed towards one of the sets, she had noticed just now that this set seemed to be more than thirty grams lighter than the other. With the current price of gold as high as 386 per gram, 30 grams alone will cost more than 10,000 yuan.
Leng Yue was actually just not sure of Ning Xin's preferences, and she was afraid that it would be unlucky to come back to change her after choosing the wrong one, so she thought about bringing Qi Meijuan over, and the two of them discussed. But now as soon as she opened her mouth to ask, Qi Meijuan gave the answer, and Leng Yue suddenly thought of the reason why she did this.
"Meijuan girl, I don't agree with your vision today," Leng Yue pretended to be embarrassed, "What I like is this set~"
"This set of ......" Qi Meijuan still wanted to persuade Leng Yue again, but she didn't know how to speak. Do you want her to tell the other party directly, the reason why she chose this set is because she is afraid that your family will spend more money?
She couldn't say anything like that.
"Although this set is more than 30 grams lighter than the one I just mentioned, this set looks like a lot more dignified and atmospheric, and it will not be easy to wear outdated." Leng Yue slowly spoke her opinion.
Qi Meijuan was silent, in fact, she thought the same way.
"This eldest sister's vision is good, this set of gold jewelry, but our Jiufu jewelry for the 100th anniversary of the opening, specially invited internationally awarded designers specially designed, novel and unique, but elegant, and perfectly integrated Jiufu jewelry has always been dignified atmosphere. Even if it is used as a family heirloom, it is also top qualified. β
"Really? I didn't expect this gold jewelry to be so big, let you say this, it's really not okay if you don't buy it~" Leng Yue said with a smile. "Then you can help us pack this set."
"Sister Meijuan, you don't blame me for making such an assertion, right?" After confirming the order with the shopping guide, Leng Yue turned her head and smiled apologetically at Qi Meijuan.
"Of course, of course not~" Qi Meijuan waved her hand.
"Although it costs more than 10,000 yuan, it is also worth the money, and the gold jewelry is placed at home, and it appreciates!" Leng Yue's words could be regarded as explaining to her, which made Qi Meijuan a little embarrassed.
"Sister Yue, I'm really not angry, I just thought that the extra 10,000 yuan spent could have been saved, and there was no need to be so extravagant~"
"Oh Meijuan girl, where can I be so stingy?" Leng Yue also smiled, "I know that you also want to help my family save, I don't think there is any need to spend so much money to buy something that should be a cutscene, but our family has no intention of wronging Ning Xin." Although with our strength, we can't be extravagant, but we still have to give her the best possible under the existing situation, right? That's what we value her. β
"Sister Yue I know, I ......"
is so old, and being preached in such a tone of implicit admonition, Qi Meijuan is a little ashamed, but she will not be unaccustomed to Leng Yue because of this, on the contrary, she feels that Leng Yue is not like the mother-in-law she knows, she is not willing to give her daughter-in-law a ride at all, and she will be picky about her daughter-in-law in every way because her son treats her daughter-in-law better than herself.
Leng Yue is so satisfied with her daughter, and Qi Meijuan is not blind, of course she can see it. And he has been glad more than once that his daughter will not have to follow the old path he has walked in the future, and she will be able to live a little smoother.
"You also know that I'm a person, I feel uncomfortable when I don't say something in my heart, if there is anything wrong with those words just now, you can also take care of it!" Leng Yue has always been straightforward, and she will say whatever she thinks in her heart, but Qi Meijuan's identity is special, and she doesn't want to be separated from her in-laws because of these few words.
"Sister Yue, is this a word to stab me? Of course I know, you treat my family Xinxin, but you have always treated me as a girl. Qi Meijuan smiled.
How could two mothers, who also think about their children and want to give everything they have, really disagree on how to be good to their children?
While the two were talking, the shopping guide lady had already completed the payment procedures and handed the velvet box containing gold jewelry to Leng Yue, "This is your thing, please take it, welcome to come again next time~"
