Chapter 108: The Engagement Ceremony
"Jiang Chen, do you think everyone is as unenterprising as you?" Jiang Hai glanced at Jiang Chen with slanted eyes, his face showing disdain.
"I said Jiang Hai, what are you crazy about? Speak as you speak, what do you do against me? Jiang Chen frowned and looked at Jiang Hai puzzled.
What medicine did this kid take wrong today? Elbow outward?
Jiang Hai sneered, and was about to speak, but the old man became impatient, and knocked on the table with his finger joints: "Okay, don't say a word, eat." ”
Jiang Hai glanced at the old man and took back the words that came to his lips, but he cast a provocative look at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen scolded secretly in his heart, because of the majesty of the old man, he could only glare at Jiang Hai and Xu Ping with hatred.
"Xu Ping, is your father really unable to attend the engagement ceremony?" After taking a bite of the dish, Old Man Jiang asked again without giving up.
Xu Ping shook his head with a wry smile and returned: "I'll call him again in a while to ask, I guess I won't be able to come." ”
"Okay, eat." Old Man Jiang's eyes drooped slightly, and he nodded slightly.
The meal was very dull, the atmosphere at the table was very weird, Xu Ping hurriedly finished eating a bowl of rice, said hello and left the restaurant and went downstairs, and came to the small courtyard.
Lying down on the rocking chair where Old Man Jiang rested on weekdays, Xu Ping took out his mobile phone and called his father.
The first call was not answered, Xu Ping called again after a while, and when his father picked up the phone, he asked in a dialect: "Old man, are you still busy at this time?" ”
"If you kid has something, just say, anyway, if Lao Tzu is busy or not, you won't come back to help Lao Tzu, ask a fart!" The old man scolded.
"Hehe, tell you a happy event." Xu Ping smiled and said: "Jiang Chuxue and I held an engagement ceremony on the weekend, do you have time to bless the two of us?" ”
"I'm not free, I'm hanging." The old man didn't finish speaking, and hung up the phone directly.
Xu Ping was stunned on the chair with his mobile phone, and suddenly felt that the wind in the night was a little cold.
"This old man ......" muttered, he shook his head and put away his phone, and when he looked back, Jiang Chuxue came behind him at some point.
"Mr. Jiang, have you eaten well?" Xu Ping regained his smile and got up and asked.
"Well, I didn't bother you when I saw you on the phone." Jiang Chuxue nodded, her eyes flashing slightly: "Your father? ”
"yes, he can't come." Xu Ping sighed and said.
"Since your father has something important, then forget it, anyway, our engagement is just a fuss, so there's no need to take it too seriously." Jiang Chuxue shrugged, revealing an expression of indifference.
Xu Ping shook his head with a wry smile, not knowing what to say.
"By the way, where did you speak? I remember that the place of origin on your ID card is Lin Cheng, but the words you speak are not in the local dialect. Jiang Chuxue changed the topic and asked Xu Ping suspiciously.
"I said that...... I won't tell you yet, you guess what. Xu Ping smiled, except for his name, all the information on his ID card was fake.
"Hmm...... It's a bit like the accent in Xiangxi, I can understand some of the words you say. Jiang Chuxue guessed after thinking for a while.
Xu Ping smiled, and was about to explain that this is a dialect unique to Taoyuan, which has been handed down from ancient times, and there are some differences from the existing dialects in various places in Yanxia.
However, when he saw Jiang Chuxue's parents walking out, he didn't speak, turned to Jiang Chuxue's parents and said hello: "Uncle, aunt." ”
Jiang Chuxue also turned to look at the two of them when she heard this: "Dad, Mom, why did you come out too?" ”
"Xiaoxue, you go to the house first, I have a few words to talk to Xu Ping alone." Father Jiang faced Jiang Chuxue with a complicated expression.
"Dad......" Jiang Chuxue's eyebrows frowned slightly, blocking Xu Ping behind him.
"Xiaoxue, be obedient, go into the house." Peng Ruping gave her daughter a reassuring look, nodded at her, and signaled that it was okay.
Father Jiang sighed and said with a wry smile: "I don't stop you from getting engaged, just simply chat." ”
Jiang Chuxue let Xu Ping out, but she was still a little uneasy, and her steps were raised and lowered.
Seeing this, Father Jiang said again: "Your grandfather nodded and agreed, even if I want to stop it, it's useless, you don't have to worry." ”
"Mr. Jiang, you go in, I'll talk to my uncle, it's okay." Xu Ping also persuaded Jiang Chuxue with a chuckle.
Jiang Chuxue heard Xu Ping say this, so she had to turn back and enter the house step by step.
Xu Ping chatted with Jiang's father for more than half an hour, during which Old Man Jiang went downstairs to take a look, and when he saw that the two were talking, he didn't go out to disturb them.
No one knew what they were talking about, but when Xu Ping and Father Jiang entered the house again, their expressions were different.
Father Jiang was a lot happier, and his attitude towards Xu Ping was also a little closer.
And Xu Ping looked thoughtful, as if he had something on his mind.
"Xu Ping, what did my dad say to you?" Jiang Chuxue glanced at the room between the two of them suspiciously, and came to Xu Ping's side and asked softly.
"I didn't say anything, I just told me to be good to Mr. Jiang." Xu Ping smiled back, but his intuition told Jiang Chuxue that it was not so simple, and Xu Ping's eyes were wrong.
Without waiting for Jiang Chuxue to ask more, Old Man Jiang also came over and asked Jiang's father: "Have you said everything?" ”
"Halfway there." Father Jiang hesitated for a moment, nodded and shook his head.
Old Man Jiang didn't ask any more questions, and enthusiastically pulled Xu Ping over and asked Xu Ping to accompany him to drink, leaving Jiang Chuxue with a puzzled face.
How do you feel that grandpa and father have something to hide from themselves?
Late at night, Xu Ping and Jiang Chuxue left Shiping Village, drove by Eleven, and returned to the city.
After sending Jiang Chuxue to the rose garden, Eleven sent Xu Ping to the Shanhai Club, and then left.
As soon as Xu Ping returned to the room and lay down, he received a message from Jiang Chuxue, asking him if he had arrived home.
"Just arrived, Mr. Jiang, what are you doing?" Xu Ping replied with a message.
"I ordered a takeout, and I'm waiting for it." Jiang Chuxue returned.
"Ordering takeout at this time? I told you to eat more at the old man's place just now! ”
"Let me tell you, every time I eat with my second and third uncles, I haven't eaten enough." Jiang Chuxue came over with a helpless expression.
"Eat at night and be careful to gain weight." Xu Ping said deadly.
Jiang Chuxue first sent an angry expression, and then typed back: "Hmph! I don't have a fat physique, and even if I'm fat, do you dare to want me? ”
"Don't dare."
"Okay, I won't tell you, I'll go take a shower first." After Jiang Chuxue sent this message, she put down her phone and walked to the bathroom.
As soon as he took two steps, the mobile phone rang, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was Xu Ping's reply, Jiang Chuxue couldn't help but be curious after a little hesitation, turned around and picked up the phone to look at what Xu Ping replied.
At this glance, her whole face turned red.
I saw Xu Ping reply like this: "Mr. Jiang, if it is inconvenient to type in the bath, we can video." ”
"Phew! Stinky rascals! ”
Jiang Chuxue gritted her teeth and spat, and then she didn't know what she thought, she snorted and laughed again, and really made a video call to Xu Ping.
On the other side, Xu Ping saw the video invitation sent by Jiang Chuxue, and the whole person was stunned, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.
No way? Really?
How did this happiness come in waves more violently?
Is it your own? Or do you pick it up?
Xu Ping pressed the answer button, and then saw that Jiang Chuxue's video screen was the ceiling of the living room, and there was no one at all.
The blood was extinguished instantly, Xu Ping understood that he had been tricked, but he was not annoyed, put the mobile phone on the bedside table, kept the call, and went to take a shower.
This night, the two tacitly did not hang up the video call, nor did they say anything to each other, let the phone be left like this, and went to sleep separately.
Jiang Chuxue gave herself and Xu Ping a rare vacation, and took Xu Ping to visit shopping malls and scenic spots, and played until the weekend.
It seems that the two are like a couple in love, and Jiang Chuxue will make some intimate movements to Xu Ping from time to time.
Jiang Chuxue is like a different person, how good she is to Xu Ping, it seems that happiness has really come.
It's just that Xu Ping can occasionally find that behind him and Jiang Chuxue, there will be some sneaky people who secretly take pictures of them with their mobile phones.
At first, Eleven, who secretly protected the two, wanted to clear these people, but was stopped by Xu Ping.
He knew that these people were all sent by Jiang Chuxue or the Jiang family.
The so-called sweet date is just a play.
However, he still cooperated with Jiang Chuxue and performed this scene until the engagement ceremony arrived on the weekend.
Lin Cheng was instantly lively......
