"Are you Guoguo?!"
Allen was sitting in the spacious hall, his tall figure wrapped in a dark and crisp suit, exuding his innate nobility.
Compared with his appearance when he was young, his face now looks even more handsome, with delicate and three-dimensional bones, a clear and straight nose bridge, and the shape of his lips can be said to be perfect to the extreme.
He looked at Mingxi, his eyes filled with smile almost instantly.
"It's me, Uncle Allen!"
Mingxi nodded.
"As I grow up, I become more and more stunningly beautiful!"
Allen praised Mingxi without hesitation for her beauty.
"so so!"
Mingxi smiled sheepishly and said with a blush, "Compared with a beautiful fairy daughter like my mother, I can at best be regarded as the little maid next to the fairy!"
"Sister, you are really humble!"
Allen smiled and looked at Jiang Li and said something.
Hearing this, Jiang Li looked gentle and said with a smile on her lips: "It's hard to find the word 'modest' in Guoguo's dictionary. She speaks and acts confidently!"
"Mom, what you actually want to say is that I'm conceited, right?"
Mingxi pretended to be aggrieved: "The Lun family is very humble every day. You can't wrongly accuse your caring little cotton-padded jacket!"
"Just talk nonsense!"
Jiang Li smiled, invited Mingxi and Xi Chenyu to sit down, and then introduced to Allen: "This kid is Guoguo's boyfriend, you can just call him Xiaoyu!"
"Hello Uncle Allen."
"Hello."
Xi Chenyu and Allen greeted each other.
A few people were sitting in the main hall talking and laughing. After about half an hour, Allen stood up and said goodbye: "Sister, I will come to visit you and my brother-in-law another day."
"Are you planning to stay in a hotel?"
Jiang Li frowned: "When you get here, can't I provide you with a place to live, your sister? Besides, my house is spacious and there is room for you!"
"Sister, don't get me wrong." Allen shook his head and said, "Before I came to you, I visited my grandfather and father. They had already ordered someone to prepare a place for me at home."
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Boya went abroad to help Allen secure his position as the head of the family. With his tacit approval, Allen now called his father and Jiang Hongfa his grandfather.
Although I have not recognized my ancestors, my blood relationship cannot be erased!
"That's it, that's okay, you can live with grandpa and dad, and spend more time with them." Jiang Li said, seeing Allen walking towards the main hall door, he and Luo Yanqing, Mingxi, Xi Chenyu and Xiao Mingxiu sent Allen off together.
As for Captain Jiang and his wife, they recently moved into their second courtyard.
Because Brother Jiang and Sister Jiang retired and handed over the business of the hot pot chain store to their younger son, saying that they should fulfill their filial piety around Captain Jiang and his wife, and they could not let this little sister Jiang Li take all the filial piety of their brothers. , it makes them look like they are nothing.
Jiang Li was reluctant to let his father and mother move out, but nothing she said was of any use. Firstly, Brother Jiang and his wife were resolute, and secondly, Captain Jiang and his wife also wanted to live back in the second-in-four courtyard.
In the words of the old couple, living there feels compact and at ease.
Unlike the big house where Jiang Li lives, the place is too spacious and it feels unpopular and not lively at all wherever he goes.
Also, the Yu family's ancestral house occupies a large area. There is indeed a distance from the backyard to the front yard. Moreover, Jiang Li is quiet and does not hire many people to work at home. Therefore, for the older Jiang Brigade, who prefers liveliness, For the two elders, living in a big house is inevitably a bit uncomfortable.
Jiang Li didn't feel bad about not being able to keep his father and mother. After all, they lived together in Beicheng, and both families had more than one car, so it was very convenient for them to move around each other.
The door of the mansion.
"Sister, I'll go over then." After getting in the car, Allen waved to Jiang Li through the rear window, and said to Luo Yanqing: "Goodbye, brother-in-law!" Finally, he moved his eyes to Mingxi, Xi Chenyu, Xiao Mingxiu waved: "Goodbye!"
"Goodbye Uncle Allen!"
Mingxi and the other three waved their hands together.
Watching Allen's car drive away, Jiang Li and others turned around and returned to the main hall.
"Do you have something to tell us?"
I saw Xi Chenyu looking at Mingxi from time to time, and then I saw Mingxi glare at Xi Chenyu, and then I saw Xi Chenyu looking at Mingxi with "please" in his eyes, and "please" written in Mingxi's eyes. You have to tell me," Jiang Li said in a funny tone.
There was nothing unusual about Luo Yanqing, but he naturally noticed that Chen Chenyu and Mingxi had something to say.
"Guoguo, if you don't say it, I will." Xi Chenyu asked Mingxi for instructions. Upon hearing this, Mingxi gave the other party a roll of her eyes and said, "Whatever you want." As long as her parents agree, this person is capable. !
"Okay, I'll talk to my uncle and aunt now."
The corners of Xi Chenyu's mouth curved slightly, and Xi Chenyu's eyes were full of smiles. But when he turned his gaze to Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing, his whole person immediately became serious and solemn: "Uncle, aunt, I want to talk to Guoguo." Don’t worry, I’ll treat Guoguo well after I’ve received the certificate. If possible, it would be better to hold the wedding directly after receiving the certificate. I wonder if my uncle and aunt have any objections?”
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Luo Yanqing frowned and looked directly at Xi Chenyu: "You have just reached the legal age for marriage, so you can't wait another two years before discussing marriage?"
"Uncle, Guoguo and I hardly have any holidays at work all year round, so I thought about getting the certificate early so that if we have holidays in the future, we can spend more time together!"
Xi Chenyu's eyes were full of sincerity: "I promise to use my life to treat Guoguo well, and I will never let Guoguo suffer any injustice!"
"What do I want with your life?!"
Staring at Xi Chenyu, Mingxi's gaze pretended to pass by Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing casually. By chance, she met their eyes, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"what are you thinking?"
This is Jiang Li's voice, she is asking Guoguo.
"ah?"
Guoguo doesn't know why.
"Xiaoyu wants to get the certificate with you first. Do you agree or disagree?"
Jiang Li said with a smile: "Don't think about playing tricks on me, just express your attitude directly."
"Is it too early?"
Luo Yanqing did not agree very much with his youngest daughter getting the certificate early, and her eyes met with his. Jiang Li said: "They grew up together and know each other very well. In my opinion, there is no difference between getting the certificate early and getting the certificate a few years later. "
"Auntie, did you agree?"
Xi Chenyu's eyes lit up.
Jiang Li did not answer directly. She said, "It depends on what Guoguo thinks."
"Guoguo..."
Xi Chenyu's eyes were burning, and he looked straight at Mingxi.
"You can get the certificate first, and the wedding will take place two years later."
In fact, if possible, Mingxi doesn't need any wedding at all. In her opinion, it is just a formality, and she doesn't like trouble.
"Do you agree to get the certificate from Xiao Yu?"
Jiang Li confirmed.
Mingxi said "Yes" and said, "Just like what you said, Mom, Xi Chenyu and I will be together sooner or later. In that case, he wants to get the certificate now, I think it's okay."
Luo Yanqing: "Then just get married!"
Jiang Li: "I agree with what your father said. You can go get the certificate tomorrow, but the wedding will be held soon. If you find it troublesome, just wait until the wedding day and ask for leave to attend. However, you can take some time to take the wedding photos. Take the photo, after all, this is a major event in your life, and it is necessary to keep a souvenir."
"this……"
Mingxi didn't say anything for a long time.
Xi Chenyu: "Mom, I have no objection."
"You changed your tune quickly!"
Ming Xi snorted and said with a bit of disgust: "You didn't even prepare flowers or rings to propose to me, so you changed your mind to my mother and wanted me to get the certificate with you. Xi Chenyu, are you too careful with your calculations? "
"Okay, I get it."
Isn't it just a proposal ceremony? If Xi Jingyu can do it, he can do it too!
"If you can't satisfy me, there's no chance of getting the certificate."
Mingxi said lightly, and after hearing this, Xi Chenyu said with determination: "Don't worry, it will definitely be more romantic than the scene when my brother proposed to the third sister!"
"Do you still know about romance?"
Mingxi raised her eyebrows.
Xi Chenyu: "I'm not a caveman."
"Okay, that's it. Xiaoyu, why don't you go home and tell your parents? Later, our two families will sit down and finalize the wedding date. As for when to get the certificate and take wedding photos, you and Guoguo will discuss it. manage."
Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Xi Chenyu stood up and said, "Thank you, Mom!" His eyes moved to Luo Yanqing: "Thank you, Dad too! Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being willing to marry Guo Guo to me!"
Luo Yanqing's eyes were sharp and cold, and he stared at Xi Chenyu: "If Luo Mingxi is unhappy with you, don't blame me for asking her to divorce you!"
"Dad, I promise to love Guoguo and love Guoguo, and I will never let Guoguo be unhappy!"
How could he let go of the little girl he loved so much and see her unhappy?
Xi Chenyu believes that no matter how many years have passed, his feelings for Mingxi will remain unchanged, and he will guard her, follow her with his eyes, and accompany her to the end of the world just like he did in the first sixteen or seventeen years. End of life!
"Mom, Dad, is Sixth Sister getting married to Brother Xiaoyu?"
Xiao Mingxiu's childish voice suddenly sounded.
"Um."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded.
"I see."
It seems that he has to prepare the wedding gift for Sixth Sister in advance.
Xiao Mingxiu's face was tense, and his expression looked serious, which was particularly cute in contrast!
…
After dinner, Luo Yanqing took Jiang Li's hand and walked in the back garden to eat. The two were originally talking about Ming Wei's upcoming birth. Unexpectedly, Luo Yanqing suddenly changed the topic to Ming Xi: "I really agree. That boy from the Xi family and Luo Mingxi receive the certificate?"
"It's not what you promised, do you want to go back on it?"
Jiang Li looked at the man funny: "Can't you let go of your daughter?"
"...Luo Mingxi is still young."
After a long moment of silence, a sentence escaped Luo Yanqing's lips.
"Just be tough!"
Jiang Li smiled and shook her head. She said, "Both families are in Beicheng, and both children are working in Beicheng. What's the difference between being married and not being married?"
Hearing this, Luo Yanqing pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Think about Weiwei. Doesn't she still go home often after she gets married?"
Jiang Li said, seeing that the man was still silent, she scratched his palm and said softly: "Children have their own ideas when they grow up. Besides, Guoguo and Xiaoyu didn't do anything bad, they just wanted to Just get married early, and since they have reached the legal marriage age, there is really nothing wrong with them."
Luo Yanqing: "Luo Mingxi is less than twenty."
"Mr. Luo, do you want to think about how old I will be when I marry you?" With a smile in his words, Jiang Li looked at the man and said jokingly: "Eighteen, I was only eighteen years old at the time, so I married you as my wife. , speaking of which, you are still an old cow eating young grass!"
When she said this, Luo Yanqing immediately felt her cheeks get hot: "I'm just a few years older than you."
Jiang Li: "It's not how old you are, it's almost ten years old!"
Luo Yanqing: "I looked only twenty-three years old at the time."
Jiang Li: "That's right, but you didn't say it either. It seems to you, but your real age is indeed much older than mine, and I didn't even say that I would delay looking for you a few years ago."
"..."
Luo Yanqing was silent for a long time, and then he said, "I can't help you, but you can't talk about me anymore." There was a little grievance in his tone.
"I didn't say you were old!"
Jiang Li looked puzzled.
"You said my real age is much older than yours."
Luo Yanqing was in low mood.
"This is a fact. Do you want to deceive yourself?"
With a smile in his eyes, Jiang Li was undoubtedly teasing the man. However, Luo Yanqing was immersed in his own emotions and did not hear it.
"No."
He didn't want to deceive himself, he simply didn't want his wife to think he was old.
"Ha ha!"
Jiang Li laughed out loud: "You actually have a heart of glass, Mr. Luo, I thought your heart was very strong!"
"Are you kidding me earlier?"
Luo Yan spoke with resentment.
"Smile for ten years. I am making you laugh, but I am not teasing you. The concept is different. Please don't accuse me wrongly!"
Holding the man's hand, Jiang Li shook it slightly: "Although I feel relieved, I have never disliked you for anything. After all, you are the man I like and want to live with for the rest of my life!"
After hearing Jiang Li's last sentence, Luo Yanqing felt happy instantly.
Sensing the change in his mood, Jiang Li secretly sighed: A man will remain a boy until he dies. This is true! Otherwise, why would her Mr. Luo be so childish from time to time? !
Okay, this is actually kind of cute!
Luo Yanqing didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking. He said, "I have no objection to Luo Mingxi and that boy from the Xi family receiving the certificate."
Jiang Li said with a bit of wickedness: "I didn't hear your objection when Xiaoyu left in the afternoon!"
"Xiao Li, can't you stop trying to dismantle me?"
Luo Yanqing looked at Jiang Li deeply, his tone full of helplessness.
"Okay, okay, I promise there won't be a next time."
After saying that, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Actually, our family is at a disadvantage because we managed to raise two daughters, but they were snatched away by the two boys from the Xi family. Could it be that the two brothers Xiao Jing and Xiao Yu saved the galaxy in their previous life? Otherwise, where did they get such good luck!"
"With a son-in-law and half a son, you can think of it as an extra son in our family."
Luo Yanqing persuaded Jiang Li to come.
"There is no shortage of boys in our family."
Jiang Li said casually.
"Too."
Luo Yanqing nodded.
Looking at the man's serious look, Jiang Li laughed: "Your position is too unfirm. Just a moment ago, you comforted me with half a son-in-law, saying that by marrying off two daughters, we have added a son. Now you have another son." I agree with what I said and feel that our family is not short of boys."
Luo Yanqing said without hesitation: "It is." There is indeed no shortage of sons in their family!
At the same time, the Xi family.
In the living room, Xi Chenyu looked at Mr. Xi and Mrs. Xi, then at Xi Guobang, Xu Dan, and the rest of the family. The corners of his lips slightly opened: "I plan to take some time with Guoguo to get a certificate."
"..."
Everyone in the Xi family was stunned at the same time. They looked straight at Xi Chenyu, and no one said anything for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
Xi Chenyu felt strange: "Is it because I didn't explain it clearly enough?"
"Xiao Yu...you said you and Guo Guo were going to get a marriage certificate. Are you going to get a marriage certificate?"
Mingwei's belly was high. She sat on the sofa with a little disbelief in her eyes.
"Um."
Xi Chenyu nodded.
At this time, all the Xi family members came to their senses and heard Ming Wei continue to ask Xi Chenyu: "My parents didn't object?"
"No."
Xi Chenyu replied: "Uncle Luo and Aunt Jiang asked Guoguo and I to discuss by ourselves on which day to get the certificate and which day to take wedding photos." His eyes moved, Xi Chenyu looked at Xi Guobang and Xu Dan: "Mom, Dad, are you smoking?" Ge Kong met with Uncle Luo and Aunt Jiang to finalize the wedding date for me and Guoguo."
"good."
Xi Guobang and his wife looked at each other, and then nodded happily.
"You are quite capable. You were able to marry Guoguo home so early. Tell me, what method did you use?"
Xi Jingyu looked at his younger brother a little unconvinced, thinking that he had to wait until he was nearly thirty before he embraced the beauty. However, Xi Chenyu had just reached the legal age for marriage, but he was about to become legally married to the person he liked. Husband and wife, what a dog!
"I didn't use any methods. It was Uncle Luo and Aunt Jiang who thought I was good enough and felt relieved to leave Guoguo to my care so early."
Xi Chenyu's tone was indifferent, which made Xi Jingyu's teeth ache: "I see you are in Versailles!" He undoubtedly heard this from his friend, classmate and second uncle Minghan.
As for where Minghan learned it, it goes without saying that he definitely heard it from his mother.
Suddenly, Xi Jingyu let out a "hiss" sound, and at the same time, he had an obviously pained expression on his face.
He glanced vaguely at his daughter-in-law sitting next to him, and then at Mingwei. Their eyes happened to meet. The next moment, this woman immediately acted like a quail, not daring to say anything or ask anything.
Mingwei snorted in her heart, Damn, you dare to be dissatisfied with her for marrying him too late, you can settle the accounts later!
When Mr. Xi and others saw Xi Jingyu being punished by Mingwei, they all laughed out loud. Even Xi Chenyu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Can you give me some face?"
He thought that his family didn't know anything, but the laughter clearly told him that he was punished by his wife on the soft flesh of his waist, and everyone in his family saw it.
Xi Jingyu's face was hot and he felt uncomfortable all over. He thought that if there was a crack in the ground, he would definitely "swish" it into.
"You are lucky to marry Weiwei, but you still dare to complain that Weiwei married you too late. I think you deserve to be dealt with by Weiwei!"
Xu Dan stopped laughing and said something to Xi Jingyu.
"Mom! I am your biological son!"
Xi Jingyu's eyes were full of resentment.
"I didn't say you weren't."
Xu Dan responded casually.
Xi Jingyu: "You are partial! Ever since Weiwei and I got married, you have been partial to Weiwei and treated her much better than me!"
Ming Wei raised her eyebrows: "Do you have any objections?"
"I……"
Xi Jingyu shook his head feigning fear.
Once again it made the whole family laugh.
Xu Dan: "I will be nice to whomever I want to be nice to. Weiwei is my good daughter-in-law, so I prefer her. If you don't accept it, just hold it in." His eyes moved to his younger son: "The same goes for you. I will marry you later. When you come to our house, she is like my other daughter. I will pamper her and love her. If you are not convinced, just find a place to reason with her."
"Mom is good to Guoguo. She treats Guoguo like a daughter and loves her. I will only be happy for Guoguo."
Xi Chenyu said without hesitation. After hearing what he said, Xu Dan gave Xi Chenyu, his second son, a roll of his eyes: "Did you hear that? I'm just smarter than you!"
"Mom, Xiao Yu is already smarter than Xi Jingyu, but to be able to get my parents to agree to Guoguo getting the certificate so early shows how trustworthy Xiao Yu is to my parents!" Ming Wei did not forget to give Xi Chenyu a Provocative eyes: Did you hear that? I just want to hit you and see if you still dare to behave?
"Weiwei, my parents are also very satisfied with me!"
Xi Jingyu defended himself: "Every time I go there, my parents welcome me, and my mother even cooks delicious food for me!"
"Really? Why didn't I know?!"
Mingwei suppressed laughter and pretended to be confused.
"Guobang, Dandan, since the in-laws asked Xiao Yu to give you a message, then you should meet with the in-laws as soon as possible to finalize the wedding date of Xiao Yu and Guo Guo."
Mrs. Xi then spoke to Xi Guobang and Xu Dan.
"Okay, Mom."
Xi Guobang and his wife nodded.
"Xiao Gao also told me this afternoon that he wanted to arrange a marriage between his family Yueyue and Xiao Yu, and they would become in-laws with our family." Mr. Xi said: "I very much doubt that he is pretending to be confused because he understands, but he thinks of everyone Living in the same compound didn't hurt the friendship after all, I just told him that Xiao Yu's marriage has been settled."
Needless to say, the Xiao Gao Mr. Xi refers to is the old man of the Gao family.
"Everyone in the courtyard knows that Xiao Yu and Guo Guo are boyfriend and girlfriend. They know that Xiao Yu and Guo Guo grew up together as childhood sweethearts. How could he have the nerve to mention Yueyue to our family in front of you?!"
Mrs. Xi frowned: "There are many young girls in the courtyard, and I have often heard people mention the faults of the little girls from the Gao family and the Jiang family."
Xu Dan: "Sichun once came to me and said that her Xingxing liked Tuanzi and asked me to help visit her mother-in-law. It turned out that Tuanzi had no interest in the girl from the Jiang family."
Ming Wei: "Jiang Xingxing doesn't like Tuanzi. She just wants to compete with Xuanxuan. My mother has never wronged us brothers and sisters in any way. After learning Jiang Xingxing's thoughts, she directly stated that she would not He interfered with Tuanzi's feelings without any thought, and took away Xingxing before he saw her, and even went to my house to look for Tuanzi on New Year's Eve."
"and after?"
Xu Dan asked.
Mingwei said calmly: "I was rejected directly by Tuanzi. After my mother found out, she asked Xi Jingyu to drive Xingxing back to our compound."
"Why didn't I hear you mention it during the Chinese New Year:"
Xu Dan looked at Xi Jingyu.
It's not a big deal that needs to be said. "
Xi Jingyu really didn't take that matter seriously, so he didn't mention it in front of his family.
Old Mrs. Xi: "I haven't heard anything happened to the girl from the general's family in the next few months."
"Perhaps she is overthinking it! Tuanzi has no intention of her, and my mother will not help her match up. In this case, she has seen the reality clearly, and naturally she will not continue to mess around."
Mingwei said calmly: "I thought Jiang Xingxing was not very smart, but being able to see through it in time shows that she is not without merit." (End of Chapter)
