Chapter 57: Peeling Crabs
At a quarter past eight, the moon hung over the branches of the osmanthus tree.
The Chen family came together.
Xuan Tong adjusted the camera, ready to help Chen Xinyu and Grandma Chen take a group photo in front of the laurel tree, but at the moment when he pressed the shutter, several elders who stepped into the weeping flower door were also framed into the lens.
Liang Yue walked at the forefront with Chen Moliang in her arms, and behind her were Zhang Lianyi and Chen Huaiting.
After that, it was Chen Xinyu and Chen Jiase's parents, as well as other elders.
Seeing Chen Jingpei's parents, Xuan Tong was a little nervous in his heart, and tried his best to focus on Liang Yue and Chen Moliang, and when they got closer, he politely greeted: "Uncle Chen is good, Teacher Liang is good." ”
When she was fifteen years old, she came to Feicheng, and when she met Chen Yunze's parents for the first time, Chen Yunze taught her to call her so.
Liang Yue is gentle and dignified, and her love for Xuan Tong is not hidden at all, as soon as she walks over, she first holds Xuan Tong's head and says with pity: "My good girl, why have you lost weight again?" Did you not eat properly on time? If Aze knows, he will be distressed. Be sure to eat more later. ”
"Okay, Mr. Liang." Xuan Tong nodded obediently. In response, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Jingpei walking out of the chess and card room.
At this time, Chen Huaiting, who was standing behind Chen Moliang, immediately became angry, and barely poked his finger on the bridge of Chen Jingpei's nose, "You bastard, you still have the face to come over for dinner!" ”
Yesterday, it was supposed to be the day of engagement with the Wen family, but because Chen Jingpei openly refuted the rumors on the TV station a few days ago, it caused a storm in the city, which not only made the Wen family lose face, but also made him fall into an unkind and unrighteous name.
Moreover, Wen Jinlang also called just now, saying that Wen Shanni has always not eaten or drunk for the past few days, and the doctor diagnosed her with mild depression, and if she continues like this, I am afraid that she will have a tendency to commit suicide.
Wen Jinlang also said that he hoped that after three days, the Chen family could give a proper solution, otherwise, Mrs. Wen might have to announce the marriage token of the Chen family, and the Chen family would completely lose its prestige among the major famous families, and it would also affect the future career of the Chen family's heirs.
Wen Jinlang finally said: "We have been classmates for decades, and we have experienced so many ups and downs together, and our feelings are naturally self-evident. But Ah Pei's approach this time was really excessive. Even if he didn't like Sunny anymore, he couldn't leave nothing to spare. Shanni has always been a girl, thin-skinned, and she can't withstand so much public opinion and criticism. I'm just such a daughter, Huaiting. ”
The last sentence is very pale and weak.
Chen Huaiting once witnessed him kneeling on the freezing Changling Mountain, holding the image of his daughter Wen Xixi smiling innocently and crying, and said: "Huaiting, our family Xixi is too delicate to be your daughter-in-law." We'll never get married. ”
At that time, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he promised: "Xixi is already the daughter-in-law I identified." I will enter her into the Chen family tree, and if Ah Pei wants to marry in the future, I will let him marry Xi Xi's spiritual throne first. Xixi will always be the daughter-in-law of our Chen family, and she will always be the wife of Ah Pei. We will always be in-laws. ”
Later, Mrs. Wen found out about this, so she grinded Wen Jinlang to ask Chen Huaiting to promise to transfer the marriage token to Wen Shanni......
Chen Huaiting didn't really want to force Chen Jingpei to marry Wen Shanni, but at that time, he always felt that if the Chen and Wen families really couldn't get married, it would be a pity.
That's why we are in this situation today.
"Aren't you going to cut off the father-son relationship with me! How can you still have the face to come! You brute! Chen Huaiting was so angry that he scolded again.
Grandma Chen felt sorry for her grandson, so she straightened her old face and said unhappily: "Beasts, aren't they also your seeds!" If you hadn't messed up the mandarin duck spectrum by yourself, you wouldn't have made such a chicken feather mess! Every day, I only count my grandchildren and scold, but I never reflect on whether you have done anything wrong! ”
"Would you be happy if I asked you to marry someone you didn't like?" Grandma Chen's soul asked, "Let you be an official, not let you be an official all day long against your own son!" ”
"Let me tell you Huaiting, since Pei doesn't like this family matter, he will retreat. I don't believe that the old woman of the Wen family dares to buy and sell by force! ”
"Everyone is divorced when they get married, and my grandson and her granddaughter are just ordering a baby kiss, and they haven't even scratched the eight characters, so what if she has the marriage token handed down by our ancestors! It's just some playful stuff, if she's rare, I'll send her two more tomorrow, I really don't believe in evil! ”
The more Grandma Chen talked, the more annoyed she became, originally she usually ate fasting and worshipping Buddha, and she didn't want to take care of these housework anymore, but Chen Jingpei had always resisted this family affair, and she had to stand up for him.
Zhang Lianyi saw that her mother-in-law was very angry, and hurriedly stroked her back, and persuaded Chen Huaiting, "Okay Huaiting, it's a big holiday today, let's not make my mother angry, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" ”
She has always been more submissive to Chen Huaiting.
Chen Huaiting had no choice but to restrain his anger and not scold Chen Jingpei for the time being.
Liang Yue played a round at the right time, "Okay, let's eat quickly." Don't starve our mandarins. Look at this kid, his palms are sweating with fright. Second uncle, your temper really has to change, don't scare my future daughter-in-law away one day. ”
"Hahaha." As soon as these words came out, Chen Moliang laughed heartily first, and the other elders also laughed heartily.
The atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Xuan Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing the wet and sticky palms, and indeed pinched a cold sweat for Chen Jingpei.
But he didn't dare to blatantly look at Chen Jingpei.
It wasn't until Liang Yue asked her to sit at the elder's table to eat together that she was able to eat crabs next to Chen Jingpei in the open.
Chen Huaiting may not have imagined that the woman his son wanted to engage in was sitting directly opposite him unscrupulously at the moment.
"Ah Pei, help my aunt peel a few more crabs for the citrus orange to eat." Liang Yue said without scruples.
Chen Jingpei Zhengchou had no suitable reason to feed Xuan Tong, but Liang Yueshen assisted him, and he didn't need to suppress and restrain himself, in front of everyone, he diligently peeled plate after plate of crab meat to fill her bowl, "Eat more." ”
"Oh...... Okay, thanks. "Xuanzhi's ears are red and red, and he is obedient with a small head, eating, eating, eating......
While eating, Zhang Lianyi, who was sitting opposite, suddenly said to Chen Huaiting: "Huaiting, do you think that the eyebrows and eyes of the orange are quite similar to Beibei?" ”
Chen Huaiting held the wine glass and paused, glanced at Xuan Tong, and didn't see any similarities, so he said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not like it at all." ”
"But I think ......" Zhang Lianyi said and stopped, and then looked carefully, the more she looked at it, the more she looked like it, she couldn't help asking: "Citrus Orange, how old are you this year?" Is your home local to Feicheng? ”
