Chapter 208: Intentions
The more they get along, the more Xie likes Du Fangfei's temperament, and he just can't wait to marry back as a daughter-in-law immediately. Now that the Du family does not shy away from Xu Chengyuan, and they are so enthusiastic about leaving them to eat, the joy in her heart is about to overflow.
"Then we're welcome." For fear that Chen was just polite, she didn't even dare to excuse herself, and directly agreed.
Saying that, she said: "But we can't take advantage of your family, if I bring rice, noodles and vegetables, don't shirk." ”
Chen herself doesn't like to take advantage of others, and Xie's approach is very much in line with her heart.
She said, "Just bring some rice and noodles, our vegetable garden is full of vegetables, so you don't need to take any more." ”
"That's it." Xie Shi didn't say much, but he made up his mind in his heart, and bought some fish, meat, bones, and sticks every now and then, which was worth the Du family's vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Both of them were accustomed to doing housework, and they were very neat in their work, and it didn't take long for dinner to be ready.
Chen said: "I'll ask Sister Fei and them to set the table, and you go and ask Brother Yuan to eat." After saying that, he wiped the water on his hands and went out.
Du Fangfei and the others were taken aback when they heard that Xu Chengyuan wanted to eat here. Especially Du Fangfei, remembering that this person had also mentioned marriage to her, don't mention the awkwardness in her heart, and complained that her mother was not thoughtful.
But everyone stayed, and she couldn't say anything, so she just moved a table from Chen's house and put it in the hall according to Chen's instructions.
After Du Jinning taught his three sisters to read and write, he asked each of them to hand in two words a day. She specially asked Chen to buy this table, one in each sister's house. The four sisters had it, but they couldn't talk about it when they pulled down the Chen family, so they simply bought four tables together and came back.
The Chen family used to live a good life, and he was not the kind of person who was reluctant to spend money. Knowing that at the teahouse, Du Jinning can get a lot of dividends every month, and she is willing to buy food and clothing for her daughters. So she agreed to add these four tables without saying a word.
Men and women are not seated at the same table, Du Jinning and they naturally want to sit separately from the female dependents, that is, the pot, and the Chen family has made two copies. According to the original housewarming banquet, the Chen family could bring one of the pots to Du Jinning's house, let him and Xu Chengyuan eat alone in the house, and the men and women were completely separated. But since Chen understood Du Jinning's intentions, how could he do so? Naturally, it had to be arranged in one room.
Fortunately, the hall is large and the two tables do not look crowded.
After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, Xie also led Du Jinning and Xu Chengyuan in. Xu Chengyuan glanced at Du Fangfei's shadow, his face turned red, and he felt uncomfortable, and he didn't know which leg to take when he entered the door. It was Du Jinning who noticed his abnormality, pulled him in by the sleeve of his shirt, and pressed him to sit on the seat, so as not to embarrass him too much.
Feeling Xu Chengyuan's fiery gaze projected from time to time at that time, Du Fangfei was also very uncomfortable, and his head was eager to be buried in his chest.
The seven of them sat down at two tables, and Du Fangling and Du Fanghui scooped up the rice, brought it up one by one, and put it in front of everyone.
Chen said: "As the saying goes, one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father." Since Aunt Xu has become your embroidery master, Brother Yuan is also your brother. It's all a family, everyone is welcome, feel comfortable, and eat their own food. He also told Du Jinning, "Brother Ning, you greet your Senior Brother Xu." ”
"Mother, I see." Du Jinning saw that Xu Chengyuan didn't move his chopsticks, so he grabbed a piece of chopsticks and put it in his bowl, "Senior brother, if you are polite, I will feed you." ”
Everyone laughed.
Xu Chengyuan's already red face became redder and redder.
Xie Shi was worried that his son would lose face, so he said loudly: "Brother Yuan, just now your Aunt Du said that we will eat here every night in the future, and I have agreed." This house is full of sisters and younger brothers, you are the elder brother, don't say take care of them, but let them take care of them, are you ashamed? I'm embarrassed to eat here anymore. ”
"Hey, young man, thin-skinned, it's normal." Chen played a round game, "It's good to wait until you get acquainted." He greeted Xu Chengyuan again, "Brother Yuan, don't be restrained, just treat this as if this is home." ”
"Hey, okay." When Xu Chengyuan heard his mother's words, he was surprised and happy. Knowing that he could see Du Fangfei every day, and after getting along for a long time, the Du family knew who he was, and his family had paid off his debts, maybe this family business could be successful, and his spirit immediately cheered up. There was a look in his eyes, and his actions were not so stiff.
Seeing him like this, Xie Shi was relieved.
They are all small families, and they are not particular about food. Xie intends to get married, and during the conversation, he deliberately said something about his son, such as how the gentleman of the academy praised Xu Chengyuan for his solid homework and good grades, and by the way, he also revealed that he participated in the county examination this year.
"Ouch, when the time comes, it's a showman, at a young age, it's amazing." Chen boasted.
Du Fangfei glanced up at Xu Chengyuan, then lowered his head again and went to eat.
Both the Xie family and the Chen family paid attention to Du Fangfei, and when they saw that she was finally willing to pay attention to Xu Chengyuan, they knew that this was the right thing to do today. Chen praised Xu Chengyuan more and more, saying how sensible he was, always helping his mother work at home, and working hard to make money to pay off debts, he was a responsible person.
Xie is very shrewd and knows the truth of being too much, Chen praised, but she became humble again, and took out two embarrassing things about Xu Chengyuan when he was a child, which made everyone laugh, and Xu Chengyuan also made a big red face.
After the mother and son of the Xu family said goodbye and left after eating, Du Jinning pulled Chen into the house and told her: "Don't talk about how the Xu family is and how Xu Chengyuan is in the eldest sister's ear." The more you talk about it, the more disgusted she becomes. It's good to be like this, let her see with her own eyes and think with her brain, how many times better than you nag all day. Take your time and don't rush. ”
Knowing her mother Mo Ruonu, the Chen family is with Du Fangfei all day long, and she knows where her daughter is abnormal. When she was eating just now, she could feel that Du Fangfei was obviously a little moved, and she also knew that Du Jinning had used the right method.
She couldn't love Du Jinning at this time, so she took her into her arms and rubbed her twice, and said affectionately: "Ah, if it weren't for our Brother Ning, how would I live this day." ”
"Mother!" Du Jinning broke free from Chen's clutches, puffed out his cheeks and glared at her vigorously: "My face is red for you." He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
She wasn't used to being so close. But she likes Chen's vitality very much.
"Okay, okay, don't rub you." Chen let go of Du Jinning's face and began to touch her head again, "Don't worry, I won't mention this, just let her take the initiative to tell me and let her go in a hurry." ”
