Chapter 311 The fourth child of the Xiao family
Although the roast duck is delicious, one person would be tired of eating a whole one, so Xia Chan gave Xiao Yunfan two-thirds and ate one-third for herself, plus shredded potatoes and ginger, and that was the third Also let her eat well.
When leaving, Xiao Yunfan put the three packaged roast ducks in his clothes so that the roast ducks would not cool too quickly.
Xia Chan took out the roast duck and said, "We still have to play outside for a while. It's okay. Anyway, the roast duck can be steamed and eaten when it's cold. The taste of the cake will be a little different when it's warmed up, but it's delicious!"
She was really touched by his thoughtful gesture, but there was no need for this. After all, it could be heated when it was cold. She could also use the microwave in the hotel kitchen to bite it and eat it in a few minutes. It was really very convenient.
After that, Xiao Yunfan took Xia Chan around here and never went back. When he was hungry, he went to a state-owned restaurant to eat and drink tea. When he was full, he went out for shopping. Xia Chan also bought some things with a long shelf life and sent them directly to the post office. Home, so that I don’t have to carry it back home so hard.
It wasn't until dusk fell and the street lights turned on that Xiao Yunfan sent Xia Chan to the door of the guest house. When he saw Jin Peng standing far away by the door, turning his head and looking around, the two of them didn't communicate too much and just waved their hands. scattered.
It’s still some time anyway, so there’s no need to say goodbye today.
However, Xia Chan's brothers are sincere towards Xia Chan.
Jin Pengyuan didn't see clearly until Xia Chan came to him, because he just didn't see the direction where Xia Chan was, "Why are you coming back from playing until now? Are you tired?"
"Why are you tired from playing?" Xia Chan smiled brightly, and then stuffed him with a roast duck, "The roast duck I brought for you has been sliced and cold. You can eat it yourself with hot water!"< br>
Then Xia Chan waved her hand and went directly back to her room. She was physically tired after playing outside all day, but she didn't feel mentally tired because Xiao Yunfan was with her throughout the whole process.
Xia Chan flashed into the hotel suite, took a comfortable bath, and then continued to sleep in the hotel room. However, the alarm clock was changed forward by two hours because she had to pack the roast duck quietly.
On the third day, Xia Chan and Jin Pengyuan went to Xiao's house again, because Xiao Tiantian's parents were back today, and they were going to attend a dinner at Xiao's house tonight. Grandma Xiao took the gifts that the two children brought when they came. To Father Xiao and Mother Xiao, both of them felt that these two children were very sensible and considerate.
When they saw Xia Chan and Jin Pengyuan, they were very happy. After all, one was about to be his fourth sibling and the other was about to be his own son-in-law. Both of them were so good, how could they not be happy?
"Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Jin Pengyuan's sister, Xia Chan." Xia Chan called out politely.
"Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Jin Pengyuan, my sweetheart. This is my first visit, so please bear with me and give me your advice." Jin Pengyuan also said quickly.
"Sit down quickly, treat this as your own home, don't be restrained." Mother Xiao said. After the two children arrived, they did not live at home, but in a guest house. This shows that they have a very sense of propriety, and it also shows that they are rich, otherwise who would Are you willing to stay in a guest house every day and then go to a state-owned hotel to eat?
Although their superficial conditions are very poor, Xiao's mother knows that these must be illusions to confuse others. After all, being rich in this era is a sin. Who doesn't hide it and live their own small life quietly?
So they don't have any objections to Jin Pengyuan, as long as they treat Tiantian well and come back with Tiantian often.
After that, Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao, Father Xiao, Mother Xiao, Xiao Fengfeng, Xiao Tiantian, and Xia Chan came to the Xiao family's reception room. Although the Xiao family's house is in an alley, it is a small courtyard house with many rooms. There is a separate study and reception room. Everyone started talking about Xiao Tiantian and Jin Pengyuan's marriage.
"Uncle and aunt, in the past few months, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao have teamed up with some well-wishers to donate building materials to the Yongan production team. My fourth brother has rebuilt the house and we have prepared the furniture. Tiantian married my fourth brother , just live your own little life behind closed doors, we will not participate or interfere.”
"We, brother and sister, have saved a little money over the years, so in terms of betrothal gifts, we plan to give Tiantian a betrothal gift of 666 yuan, but since we are back in the production team, I would like to trouble Tiantian to be less talkative. Just sixty-six is enough. After all, in the countryside, it’s better not to be too rich.”
"As for things like three turns and one beep, you can get them if you think about it. But if you get these things, you can't say they are from our family. You have to say they are from Tiantian. But this will make everyone think that Tiantian is against me. Fourth brother..."
When the Xiao family heard this, they all found it incredible. They didn't expect that their brother and sister would be so generous, and the bride price was more than 600 yuan. You must know that the bride price at this time was only tens or hundreds of yuan, and it was probably even less in the countryside.
"Since your family is sincere and the two children are interested in each other, then we can't do this thing of beating mandarin ducks. We don't want Tiantian to take back any of the gifts you gave us and spend them ourselves. As for the three turns and one ring, Things, let’s go over and take a look at the situation when they hold their wedding. If it’s inconvenient to travel, then buy a bicycle. As for the sewing machine, there’s no need to buy it. Our Tiantian is not good at these things at all.” Mother Xiao is also very reasonable. of.
With a sister as capable as Xia Chan supervising Jin Pengyuan, their family's Tiantian life will be good in the future.
Grandma Xiao said, "How about we decide to marry our two children now and wait until the weather gets warmer after the new year before we get married. This will also make it easier for us to attend the wedding."
Grandpa Xiao was the only one who took the calendar and looked at the date. The 25th, which happened to be a week later, was a good day, suitable for an engagement, and there was still a week left, so he could definitely prepare a few engagement banquets.
After that, the matter was settled. Xiao Tiantian and Jin Pengyuan were also very excited and happy. Xia Chan quietly stuffed Jin Pengyuan with a stack of money and tickets, "Fourth brother, you are going to be engaged soon, go quickly." You can’t let Tiantian buy the things you need for your engagement, right?”
Grandma Xiao smiled and waved to them, "You don't know what to buy, come here and I'll tell you."
There was a small family dinner tonight, and all the Xiao family members came. Xiao Fengfeng's father was the eldest, then the second child's family, and the third child's daughter and son-in-law's family. The fourth child did not come, but Grandma Xiao said she would come soon.
When everyone was almost here, Xia Chan was stunned when she saw the belated fourth child. She had no idea that Xiao Yunfan was actually the fourth child of the Xiao family. She had suddenly risen in seniority. She had to be the same age. Human's 'fourth aunt'?
Xia Chan stared at him speechlessly. He was obviously Xiao Tiantian's fourth uncle, but he kept pretending to be Xiao Tiantian's eldest brother next door. Was he afraid that Xia Chan would think he was very old?
During dinner, Xiao Yunfan sat next to Xia Chan and even stretched out his hand to scratch Xia Chan's palm. Xia Chan didn't even give him a look. With so many people staring at her, how could she do something small?
