Chapter 374: Engagement and Overemployment
Although it is only an early engagement rather than a marriage, as a person who is about to get a certificate with Xu Haibao, Liu Xiaohan, like Xu Qingya, asked for leave in advance and returned to his hometown. In the past two days, the Liu family seems to be relatively busy.
According to what Xu Haibao said before, the engagement banquet should be as simple as possible and not too complicated. Liu Xiaohan's parents didn't say much, even if this practice still seemed a little disrespectful to the woman in the eyes of some relatives.
But Liu Xiaohan agreed with his parents, so how could other relatives interfere arbitrarily? What's more, some of the situations between the Washan Island Resort and the Xu family have all been heard by the relatives of the Liu family, and they know very well that this marriage is the Liu family's high climb.
The day after returning to Washan Island Resort, Xu Haibao took his parents to Helin Bay Villa. Even if the engagement ceremony is simple, on a day like today, parents still need to go over to meet Liu Xiaohan's relatives.
In addition, some dowry gifts prepared by the man should also be given. And this dowry is naturally a complete set of customized jewelry that Liu Yue specially brought last night. Such an expensive dowry must have stunned the relatives of the Liu family.
In order to facilitate the next day, the relatives of the Liu family went to the resort for a banquet, Xu Haibao also brought Tang Xingyou and several backbones of the shipping team. They are responsible for driving the yacht and acting as a receptionist to ensure that the Liu family's relatives are brought to the island safely.
seems to know that Xu Haibao will come from the island today, and Liu Xiaohan, who usually likes to sleep lazy, got up early in the morning and began to freshen up. Looking at their daughter like this, Liu Xiaohan's parents also felt speechless.
Mother Liu said very directly: "Girl, I think you can't wait to get married, right?"
"Mom, that's right! It's just that I'm going to take a wedding photo and get a certificate today, shouldn't I dress up in advance? Besides, my uncle and aunt will come over early in the morning today, shouldn't I help you entertain guests?"
"Okay, you're the biggest in the past two days, you can do whatever you want. It's just that you have to remember that with a marriage certificate, you are Haibao's wife. In the future, you must also understand something, and don't be pampered and arrogant. You have to do your duty as a daughter-in-law and wife, you know?"
"Thank you, Mom, I'll study hard. Mom, I listen to your tone, how can you marry like me?"
"What is the difference between getting a marriage certificate and getting an engagement wine?"
Listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, Liu Qiming, who is a father, also sighed: "Alas, in the blink of an eye, the little girl back then is about to get married." When I think of this, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart!"
"Dad, why are you feeling sad? Our two families are so close, if you really can't bear to part with me, just live with us then. Anyway, Brother Bao also said that our two families will be a real family in the future. ”
"Silly girl, how can we live at my son-in-law's house? What's more, your mother and I are not in our seventies or eighties, and we don't need you to take care of them. You have to be really filial, and when we are old, just take us over. ”
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, you all know Brother Bao's character. If I really have a child with Brother Bao, our travel agency will be left to a professional manager to take care of. How about you help me take care of the kids?"
"This girl is not ashamed at all, and now she is thinking about having children?
"Hehe, Mom, don't worry! I will definitely get you back this graduation certificate. And Brother Bao also said that if I want to work in the future, the resort, the investment company and his salvage company will all be up to me to choose.
But I don't think I want to get involved in those companies. If I can, I will be a full-time wife for Brother Bao in the future, doing laundry, cooking and taking care of the children for him. I believe that Brother Bao will be good to me for the rest of his life!"
There are some things she can't explain to her parents, but she knows more or less about Xu Haibao's plan. When the engagement banquet between the two families is over, the two will discuss having a child. Once a child is conceived, perhaps both families will move to Turtle and Snake Island.
In the future, the number of times the two families come out should not be too much. Even if the two parents still plan to come out to work, I believe Xu Haibao will make proper arrangements to try to let the two parents enjoy their old age in peace.
When Xu Haibao was about to arrive at the villa pier, he also made a call in advance. Knowing that Xu Haibao had arrived, Liu Xiaohan also hurriedly said: "Dad, Mom, Brother Bao and his parents will be here soon, should we pick them up?"
"I'm at home with your mother, it's not easy to pick up today, and some etiquette should be paid attention to." Looking at this time, it is estimated that your uncle and aunt should be coming over soon. I'll call them again!"
Knowing that today is the day when the two families are hired, although Liu Xiaohan doesn't know much about it, he also knows that some etiquette still needs to be taken into account. didn't take anything, rushed out of the villa with a happy face, and went to the dock to wait for Xu Haibao's arrival.
The security team member who was responsible for the secret protection, seeing Liu Xiaohan in such a hurry, the two female bodyguards who were close to him quickly walked out and said, "Miss, has something happened?"
"Ahh ”
"Well, please wait, Miss, I'll have the golf cart over. Wait for the boss to arrive, and save walking!"
"Yes, it's still thoughtful, then let's go slowly!"
Knowing that these bodyguards were arranged by Xu Haibao for himself, although he was a little unaccustomed to it in the early stage, he had more contacts, and Liu Xiaohan slowly adapted to the life of having bodyguards to protect him in secret. For her, this is also a manifestation of Xu Haibao's attention to her.
Besides, these bodyguards did not disturb her normal life, and in the past, when she was at school, she occasionally went out shopping with her roommates and classmates, and these bodyguards would not stop her. Many times, her personal safety is only ensured in secret.
Driving two golf carts in the villa area, escorted by several bodyguards, Liu Xiaohan soon appeared at the pier of the resort. Looking at the yacht that was slowly approaching, Liu Xiaohan also felt a little surprised.
"Well, this yacht looks like it's getting bigger!"
"Miss, this is a new yacht that the boss has just customized, and it should be to pick up guests today!"
"That's right! That yacht used to be good enough to pick up people!"
Although he felt a little surprised, Liu Xiaohan still didn't say much. When the yacht docked safely, looking at Xu Haibao who walked down from the yacht, he didn't care about the eyes of outsiders, and Liu Xiaohan also ran over with a smile.
Looking at the windy woman in front of him, Xu Haibao, who hugged her, also said dotingly: "Silly girl, are you waiting so anxious? By the way, your uncle and they have all arrived, right?"
"Not yet! When I went out just now, my father had already called to urge them, they were all staying in a hotel in the city yesterday, so they should come over soon! If they complain, don't worry about them, okay?"
"Grumbling, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing! They think that since we are engaged, we have to make a big deal. Alas, I don't know what to say, after all, they also have good intentions. But I still think it's actually pretty good.
If it weren't for the fear that my parents would be unhappy, I would have wanted to get a marriage certificate, and the two of us would have sneaked away. Doing this kind of thing is the most troublesome, and it is a waste of money. What's more, it's just an engagement, not a marriage!"
"It's okay! They also feel sorry for you, let them say a few words, I don't care. Let's go! Let's hurry over too! At the Civil Affairs Bureau, I also said hello. After the dowry, let's go to apply for a certificate. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Some relatives of the Liu family don't understand or disagree, and Xu Haibao doesn't take it too seriously. He knew very well that some relatives of the Liu family also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time. But for Xu Haibao, he doesn't need this kind of scenery.
Even in dealing with the people around him, Xu Haibao is very disgusted with bullying. If he wanted to enjoy any privileges in the name of his relatives, Xu Haibao, this kind of relative, would stay away.
This approach may be a bit impersonal, but after living in seclusion on Xuanwu Island in the future, the contacts between these relatives will gradually fade away. When the older generation leaves, perhaps there will be fewer such relatives.
After all, even if Xu Haibao can't break through the Jindan Realm now, he can live for at least two or three hundred years. If it breaks through the Jindan realm, its lifespan will be as long as five hundred years. Ordinary people, I'm afraid it has been passed down for several generations.
This may also be the reason why many monks, after stepping on the path of monks, gradually become reluctant to deal with relatives and ordinary people. In the final analysis, there is a gap in longevity between the two, and the more they are involved, the more troubles they have.
Soon after Xu Haibao and his parents arrived at Liu's house, several relatives of the Liu family also arrived one after another. Maybe seeing the Xu family coming over so early, as well as the new yacht parked at the dock, these relatives didn't say much.
Until Xu Haibao's mother gave a dowry on behalf of her son. Looking at the open jewelry box and the jewelry placed inside, the Liu family was really dumbfounded. No matter how stupid anyone is, they know that Liu Xiaohan really married a golden beetle son-in-law.
The most enviable thing for these relatives of the Liu family is that Xu Haibao also prepared a three-piece set of jewelry for Liu Xiaohan's mother. Most of these relatives of the Liu family have small assets, and they know very well that these three-piece jewelry sets can buy all their belongings.
With such a heavy dowry, are they embarrassed to pick on them?
Considering that Liu's villa is not suitable for holding a reception banquet, Liu Xiaohan's father, who is the main family today, still had a meal at Donghua Restaurant. Everyone knows that Donghua Restaurant has a very good relationship with Xu Haibao.
As a well-known seafood restaurant in Baohai, the business of Donghua Restaurant today is better than in the early years. can learn that the Liu family wants to invite relatives and friends to entertain Xu Haibao's family as a woman, how dare Donghua Restaurant be lazy.
Even Chen Donghua, the boss of the restaurant who has moved to the provincial capital, is also personally responsible for the reception. Tomorrow's engagement banquet, Chen Donghua's family will also attend. Such attention is more due to Xu Haibao's care for the Chen family.
After expanding the restaurant business to the provincial capital, Chen Donghua, who has more broadened his horizons, is also very clear. It is indeed a blessing for his family to be able to meet strange people like Xu Haibao. It's rare to be able to help, but how dare you not care?
