Chapter 455 Things at Home
Chapter 455 Things at home The two sisters were talking in private in the room. Chen Guilan didn't want to disturb them, so she whispered to Chen Guisheng, "Brother, forget about the blind date!" She knew Su Jiaojiao's temper better than anyone else. It was Chinese New Year, and she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness because of this. "If you miss it, you may not be able to find a good young man like Old Xu's nephew again." Chen Guisheng felt a little regretful. Old Xu's sister and brother-in-law both worked in government agencies, and he only had one son, who was a college student. His conditions were really good. "There's nothing we can do. You only have one niece, so we can't marry two families." Xu Yue'e said disapprovingly, "Of course, it depends on Jiaojiao's own opinion." "Okay, I'll tell Old Xu later and tell him that Jiaojiao has a boyfriend at school." Chen Guisheng nodded. He didn't expect Chen Juan to persuade Su Jiaojiao to change her mind. He saw all the gifts given by Jiaojiao's boyfriend, which were worth thousands of yuan. It was obvious that the man came from a good family. "Yeah, as adults, we can't take on too much responsibility for this kind of thing. It's okay as long as she is willing." Chen Guilan also gave up the last bit of hope. People are coming to visit during the first month of the lunar year, so she should not cause any other trouble on her side. Chen Guisheng and Xu Yue'e nodded at the same time and said nothing more. Su Jiaojiao talked to Chen Juan calmly about how she and Lu Jingyou met. They met when they were doing business, and then gradually became familiar with each other. "Then you two are quite destined to be together." Chen Juan listened carefully, "Did their family agree?" "They agreed." Su Jiaojiao thought for a while before answering. Chen Juan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." "I heard from my mom that you will get engaged after the Chinese New Year?" Su Jiaojiao asked Chen Juan again. "Well, two months ago, he bought a house in our village. It's not far from our home, just across an alley." Chen Juan was a little embarrassed and lowered her head. "That house cost yuan. It was just cleaned up a few days ago. Every time he comes to our village, he lives in that house." "Didn't you live with him there?" Su Jiaojiao joked with her. Chen Juan got anxious and explained, "How is that possible? We haven't even gotten married yet. My mother won't let me go there during the day for fear of gossip..." "Okay, I get it." Su Jiaojiao smiled. "What are you getting married about?" "Their family said the house is ready and they want to get married next year." Chen Juan was a little embarrassed. "My parents agreed, but the date hasn't been set yet." "So soon?" Su Jiaojiao was quite surprised. She was only years old after the Chinese New Year and she was going to get married? That's right, Chen Juan got married at this age in her previous life. She remembered it was in autumn, and her son was born the following year. "Not too late!" Chen Juan also accepted the marriage. "It's not too early, not too late." She was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, we came here today because your second uncle wanted to introduce you to someone. The man is also a college student, and his parents work in government agencies. Now it seems that's no longer necessary." "My second uncle is so good to me. He always thinks of me when he has good things to do." Su Jiaojiao didn't blame Chen Guisheng; he didn't know about it. She only blamed her mother. "I already have a partner, so I can't go on a blind date." This matter shouldn't have developed to this point. Her mother should have firmly refused the moment Chen Guisheng mentioned it, instead of waiting to see her attitude. "Well, we can't just compare ourselves to others," Chen Juan expressed her understanding. "I'll talk to my dad and them when I get home, and then we'll call it a day." "I knew you were on my side," Su Jiaojiao smiled. "Of course, a forced melon is not sweet!" Chen Juan saw snowflakes floating outside the window and stood up and said, "We should go back. Let's get together again in the first month of the year. I still have a lot to say to you!" After the second uncle's family left, Chen Guilan said to Su Jiaojiao, "I talked to your second uncle and asked him to refuse that place and not to see each other." "Of course I won't go to see each other." Su Jiaojiao was unhappy, "What is wrong with Lu Jingyou? Why can't you accept him?" "It's not that Mom doesn't accept him, it's that she thinks he is too far away and wants you to stay at home." Seeing Su Jiaojiao angry, Chen Guilan hurriedly explained, "If you don't want to, forget it. I will go to accompany you next year." "I'm tired and go to rest." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to quarrel with her mother as soon as she came back, so she went back to the bedroom and lay down to sleep. When she woke up, it was dark, the snow outside had stopped, and a thick layer of snow covered the roof and the ground. Chen Guilan used a clay pot to cook her favorite red bean and millet porridge, boiled shrimp, and mixed it with cucumber and dried tofu cold dishes. Su Jiaojiao sat on the sofa and ate with gusto while watching TV. Chen Guilan sat beside her and chatted with her: "Your uncle and your second uncle have reconciled. It was your cousin and Cheng Yu who persuaded them. Cheng Yu is such a good daughter-in-law. She even prepared a table full of dishes in the new house and invited me over to have a meal with your uncle and second uncle. She said that family members don't hold grudges overnight and that everything will be fine once they talk it out." "How did you resolve the walnut tree issue?" Su Jiaojiao asked. "Cheng Yu said it was half for each family." Chen Guilan praised Cheng Yu highly. "Your uncle and second uncle both agreed, but your aunt didn't want to. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a fight over this matter. They said Cheng Yu was meddling in other people's business, but in the end they listened to Cheng Yu." "It's good that they've reconciled. You don't have to be caught in the middle and feel embarrassed." Su Jiaojiao mentally praised her old classmate Cheng Yu. "By the way, on your birthday, Liu Ying gave you a sweater vest. She said she knitted it herself and asked you to come back and visit her." Chen Guilan pulled a gray sweater vest from the closet. It was made of mohair and had a sweetheart collar. It would look great with a white shirt underneath. "After the New Year, I'll find time to go see her." Su Jiaojiao touched the sweater vest and continued eating. After dinner, with nothing to do, the mother and daughter sat on the sofa watching TV, chatting intermittently about Ding Mei, Xue Yan, and the sweater. "Juan has been making sweatshirts for so long that she already has customers who come directly to her store to pick up the goods. She has no worries about sales. Ding Mei, not to mention, has also rented a stall at Hualian for wholesale. This year, apart from selling goods to her for two or three months, I have basically had nothing to do." Chen Guilan had already made up her mind. If she couldn't keep her daughter, she would follow her to the capital. "After the New Year, I'll go with you. I can't do anything else, so I can go and do the laundry and cook for you." "That's what I was thinking too." Su Jiaojiao was delighted. "It just so happens that I'm short of staff over there, and you can help me take care of it. As long as you don't miss home, that's fine." "Why should I miss home if you're not at home?" Chen Guilan looked at her daughter, whom she missed day and night, and said with emotion, "From now on, wherever you go, I'll go there." This was her life. As long as her daughter was doing well, she would be fine with anything. "Okay, then it's happily decided." Su Jiaojiao was delighted. "Cai Ting just moved out, and there's a place to live in Jinyuan. I've always dreamed of having my mother by my side." The next day, Qin Shuang called Su Jiaojiao and learned that she had returned. He said he would come to visit her at home. Su Jiaojiao knew that Qin Shuang must have come because of the handicraft. Qin Shuang is different now. Thanks to the book friends for the monthly ticket.
