Xu Yan and Su Jianguo followed Xu Cheng and Li Zijuan into the house closely. Li Zijuan did not give them a good look or greet them, but kept packing the things on the coffee table.
Su Jianguo followed Xu Cheng and sat down on the sofa. Xu Yan also sat down. Su Jianguo glanced at her and said, "Why are you sitting down? Go help my sister-in-law!"
Xu Yan reluctantly snorted, pouted, twisted and stood up, stumbling and thumping away the teacups on the coffee table.
Xu Cheng frowned, "If you want to do it, do it hard. If you don't want to do it, just sit still. I don't need your hands at home."
Li Zijuan glanced at her, took the teacup from her hand unceremoniously, and said mockingly:
"His second aunt's hands are those that make a lot of money. How dare I ask you to clean up these broken tea cups? As for you, just sit back and calm down."
"you!"
Xu Yan still wanted to get angry, but when she saw Su Jianguo's warning eyes, she suppressed her anger, threw her hands away and sat down on the sofa, sulking alone, with no one paying attention to her.
Su Jianguo accompanied Xu Cheng and asked with a smile: "Brother, it seems that the marriage between Zhiyi and the Ming family is true?"
Xu Cheng looked at him and said, "Well, the engagement will be on October 4th, and the location will be at Xiaohonglou."
Su Jianguo clapped his thigh excitedly, "Oh, that's great, such a happy event for the Ming family. Who would have thought that our Xu family would become in-laws with the Ming family. Not to mention you, eldest brother, I am the uncle." If you tell the outside world, a bunch of contractors will be jealous."
Hearing this, Li Zijuan glanced at Su Jianguo.
Oh, in the past, Su Jianguo kept saying, "You Xu family, please don't try to mess with me," and "You, the Xu family, don't have anyone you can point to," and tried every possible means to completely separate himself from the Xu family.
Today is good, we are "our Xu family" again.
His face turned so quickly.
Xu Cheng had a smile on his face, "By the way Jianguo, you are knowledgeable and quick-witted. You are responsible for notifying all our relatives and friends about Zhiyi and Octavia's engagement, and on the day of the engagement, the woman's side I’ll also leave the reception arrangements to you, how about that?”
Su Jianguo's eyes lit up, "Brother, it's no problem. Just leave it to me. I'll make sure it's done beautifully for you."
Xu Cheng nodded, "That's good. Don't go on a big business trip and make the Ming family laugh. Mingrui's uncle is mainly responsible for this engagement. When we want to talk about it, you go with me."
Su Jianguo was so happy that his face almost turned pale, "Brother, remember, you must call me."
Just what he wanted, so that he could get to know Zhou Feng legitimately, wouldn't this relationship be put to use? Yes, yes, it’s not in vain to worry about this, it’s profitable to do this job.
After another conversation, Su Jianguo saw that Xu Cheng was tired, so he wisely took Xu Yan away.
It was getting late and the house was finally quiet.
It was almost time for Xu Zhian to get off work, and Li Zijuan had to prepare dinner. She and Xu Cheng were sitting on a small, old red plastic stool in the kitchen, chatting while picking leeks.
Li Zijuan said worriedly: "I wonder if the girl was severely beaten by that dead girl Yingxue? She refuses to video chat with me, she's worried to death."
Xu Cheng said: "The girl is taller than Yingxue and in better health than her. She won't suffer. Otherwise, Xu Yan wouldn't be so angry and ran to my house. Stop thinking nonsense."
Li Zijuan thought for a while and nodded: "A-Cheng is right. I taught her not in vain. If you know you're being beaten, just fight back. At least you won't suffer too much."
Xu Cheng suddenly remembered something and asked: "Zijuan, this girl was stimulated by that girl Yingxue, and on a whim, she wanted to get engaged on National Day. When I answered the phone, why did you suddenly insist on getting engaged on National Day? There are many people today, and I I don’t have time to ask you in detail.”
Li Zijuan threw the picked half handful of leeks into the stainless steel basin, curled her lips, and shook her head, "You don't know yet, Mingrui, I will be working in Hangzhou for a year after the National Day, saying that it is specifically to be with our baby. This girl only applied to develop a relationship, Cheng, do you know what this means?"
Xu Cheng shook his head in confusion, "I don't know, isn't this great? The two don't have to live in different places and can get along day and night. Wouldn't it be easier to get to know each other better?"
Li Zijuan chuckled a few times: "Humph, can you guarantee that your good student will be honest and behave in front of a beauty like my daughter every day this year? Tell me. Do you believe it? Cheng, tell the truth, do you believe it? Do you believe it? "
Li Zijuan looked at Xu Cheng jokingly and asked him.
Xu Cheng's old face turned red, "Zijuan! This happened so many years ago, why are you bringing up the same old thing again?"
Li Zijuan still teased him: "Well, you are allowed to do it, but I am not allowed to say it. My Cheng is a gentleman, and he dares to do things. Even at the risk of breaking up with his parents, he still married me back then. I I never regret sleeping with Cheng before marriage."
Li Zijuan was a well-known little beauty in her prime. When she was in junior high school, she and Xu Cheng were classmates.
Li Zijuan was Xu Cheng's first love and secret crush. When Li Zijuan failed to enter high school and dropped out of school and returned home, the secret love did not end.
Xu Cheng originally thought that he and Li Zijuan would be separated from each other from now on and would never see each other again.
Unexpectedly, fate played a trick on him. After graduating from college, he was assigned to teach at Aicheng Middle School. On the first day of registration, he met Li Zijuan at the gate of Aicheng Middle School.
That year, he and Li Zijuan were both 22 years old.
At that time, Aicheng Middle School had not moved to a new location, it was in the family building where they now live.
He remembered clearly that that day was August 20. He went to Aicheng Middle School to complete the entry procedures, walked out of the school gate, and saw that the shoe repair stall not far away was surrounded by people.
He squeezed in out of curiosity, only to see Li Zijuan, who had been away for seven years, crying while holding his fainted father, helplessly asking passers-by for help.
Xu Cheng felt his heart tightening at that time, and the heart-wrenching pain hit him. Without saying a word, he pushed away the crowd, stopped a van taxi, carried Li Zijuan's father into the car, and turned around to pull the stunned father. Li Zijuan got in the car together.
Li Zijuan's father suffered a heart attack and died on the same day without resuscitation.
When Xu Cheng was in junior high school, he knew that Li Zijuan's father was a shoemaker and he and her mother had a child together, but her mother died of dystocia when giving birth to her.
After that, her father never remarried and remained dependent on her.
The first day Xu Cheng met Li Zijuan, she became an orphan.
The 22-year-old Li Zijuan has long been slim and charming. She immediately captured Xu Cheng's heart, which had been silent for a long time. From then on, she was out of control. No matter what others said or persuaded, or how his parents made trouble, in the end, he He decided to marry her.
Today, because of Xu Zhiyi's marriage, the two of them chatted about what happened back then, and it was inevitable that they would feel a little emotional.
Li Zijuan sighed softly and said, "A-Cheng, I am living a very happy life when I marry you. However, if I want to say that I am not willing to accept it, there is one thing. After marriage, your parents will always use this matter to bury me, and I don't like it." , they scolded me for my indiscretion back then, and I still can’t stand up straight in front of them.”
Xu Cheng looked ashamed, and unconsciously revealed the secret that had been hidden for many years.
