Chapter 1443
"You are Guoguo?!"
Alan sat in the spacious hall, his tall figure wrapped in a dark and crisp suit, revealing 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 high nose bridge, and perfect lips.
He looked at Mingxi, and his eyes were almost instantly filled with smiles.
"It's me, Uncle Allen!"
Mingxi nodded.
"You've grown up and become more and more beautiful!"
Alan praised Mingxi's beauty without hesitation.
"It's just so-so!"
Mingxi smiled embarrassedly, and she blushed and said, "Compared with a beautiful fairy like my mother, I am at most a little maid next to a fairy!"
"Sister, Guoguo is really modest!"
Alan smiled and said to Jiang Li.
Hearing this, Jiang Li's eyes were gentle, and she smiled and said: "It's hard to find the word 'modest' in Guoguo's dictionary. She is confident in what she says and does!"
"Mom, you actually want to say that I'm conceited, right?"
Mingxi pretended to be wronged: "Lunjia is very humble every day, you can't wrong your sweet little cotton-padded jacket!"
"You just talk nonsense!"
Jiang Li smiled, invited Mingxi and Xi Chenyu to sit down, and then introduced to Allen: "This child is Guoguo's boyfriend, you can just call him Xiaoyu!"
"Hello, Uncle Allen."
"Hello."
Xi Chenyu and Allen greeted each other.
Several people sat in the main hall and laughed. About half an hour later, Allen stood up and said goodbye: "Sister, I will come to visit you and brother-in-law another day."
"Are you planning to stay in a hotel?"
Jiang Li frowned: "When you come here, can't your sister provide you with accommodation? Besides, my house is spacious and there is a place for you to live!"
"Sister, don't get me wrong." Allen shook his head and said, "Before coming to your place, I went to see my grandfather and father. They have asked people to prepare accommodation for me at home."
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Boya went abroad to help Allen take the position of the head of the family. With his tacit consent, Allen now calls his father and Jiang Hongfa his grandfather.
Although he did not recognize his ancestors, the blood relationship cannot be erased!
"Is that so? That's fine. You can live with grandpa and dad and spend more time with them." Jiang Li said, and saw Allen walking out of the main hall, and Luo Yanqing, Mingxi, Xi Chenyu, and Xiao Mingxiu sent Allen off together.
As for Captain Jiang and his wife, they moved to their courtyard house not long ago.
Because Brother Jiang and Sister Jiang retired, they handed over the hot pot chain business to their youngest son, saying that they should be filial to Captain Jiang and his wife, and they should not let Jiang Li, their younger sister, do all the filial piety for their brothers, which would make them look like a nobody.
Jiang Li was reluctant to let her parents move away, but it was useless for her to say anything. First, Brother Jiang and his wife were determined, and second, Captain Jiang and his wife also wanted to live back in the courtyard house.
In the words of the old couple, living there felt compact and at ease.
Unlike the mansion where Jiang Li lived, the place was too wide, and there was no crowd wherever he walked, and it was not lively at all.
Yes, the ancestral house of the Yu family covers a large area. There is indeed a distance from the backyard to the front yard, and Jiang Li likes quietness, so he didn't hire too many people to work at home. Therefore, for Captain Jiang and his wife, who like to be lively at an older age, living in a big house is inevitably a bit uncomfortable.
Jiang Li was not upset that he could not keep his parents. After all, they lived in the North City together, and both families had more than one car, so it was very convenient to go back and forth.
At the gate of the mansion.
"Sister, I'll go over there." After getting in the car, Allen waved to Jiang Li through the rear window, and said to Luo Yanqing: "Goodbye, brother-in-law!" At last, he moved his eyes to Mingxi, Xi Chenyu, and Xiao Mingxiu, and waved: "Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Uncle Allen!"
Mingxi and the other two waved together.
Watching Allen's car drive away, Jiang Li and the others turned around and returned to the main hall.
"Do you have anything to say to us?"
Seeing Xi Chenyu's eyes falling on Mingxi from time to time, and seeing Mingxi glaring at Xi Chenyu, and then seeing Xi Chenyu looking at Mingxi with "please" in his eyes, and Mingxi's eyes writing "you can say it", Jiang Li spoke with some amusement.
Luo Yanqing didn't seem strange, but he naturally saw that Chenyu and Mingxi had something to say.
"Guoguo, if you don't say it, then I will." Xi Chenyu asked Mingxi for instructions. Hearing this, Mingxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Whatever you want." As long as her parents agree, this guy is capable!
"Okay, I'll tell uncle and aunt now."
The corners of his mouth raised a light arc, and Xi Chenyu's eyes were full of smiles, but when he looked at Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing, the whole person immediately became serious and solemn: "Uncle, aunt, I want to get the certificate with Guoguo, don't worry, I will definitely treat Guoguo well. If possible, it will be better to hold the wedding directly after getting the certificate. I wonder if uncle and aunt have any objections?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Luo Yanqing frowned, and he looked directly at Xi Chenyu: "You just reached the legal age for marriage, can't you wait another two years before talking about marriage?"
"Uncle, Guoguo and I have basically no holidays at work all year round, so I thought about getting the certificate early, so that if we take a vacation in the future, we can also spend more time together!"
Xi Chenyu's eyes were full of sincerity: "I promise to treat Guoguo well with my life, and I will never let Guoguo suffer any grievances!"
"What do I want your life for?!"
Staring at Xi Chenyu, Mingxi's eyes pretended to pass by Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing inadvertently. Coincidentally, her eyes met with theirs. Suddenly, she felt uncomfortable all over.
"What do you think?"
This was Jiang Li's voice. She was asking Guoguo.
"Ah?"
Guoguo didn't understand.
"Xiaoyu wants to get the certificate with you first. Do you agree or not?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Don't try to fool around. Show your attitude directly."
"Isn't it too early?"
Luo Yanqing didn't agree with her youngest daughter getting the certificate early. When they met, Jiang Li said, "They grew up together and know each other very well. I don't think there is any difference between getting the certificate early and getting it a few years later."
"Auntie, are you agreeing?"
Xi Chenyu's eyes lit up.
Jiang Li didn't answer directly. She said, "It depends on what Guoguo thinks."
"Guoguo..."
Xi Chenyu's eyes were burning. He looked straight at Mingxi.
"You can get the certificate first, and then have the wedding in two years."
In fact, if possible, Mingxi doesn't need any wedding at all. In her opinion, it's just a formality, and she doesn't like trouble.
"Are you agreeing to get the certificate with Xiaoyu?"
Jiang Li confirmed.
Mingxi said "hmm" and said: "Just like what you said, mom, Xi Chenyu and I will be together sooner or later. In this case, he asked to get the certificate now, and I don't think it's a big deal."
Luo Yanqing: "Then get married directly!"
Jiang Li: "I agree with what your father said. You can get the certificate tomorrow, but the wedding will be held soon. If you find it troublesome, you can wait until the day of the wedding and ask for leave to attend. However, you should take some time to take wedding photos. After all, this is a major event in your life, and it is necessary to leave a souvenir."
"This..."
Mingxi hesitated to say the rest.
Xi Chenyu: "Mom, I have no objection."
"You changed your mind so quickly!"
Mingxi snorted and said with a bit of disdain: "You didn't even prepare flowers and rings to propose to me, but you changed your mind to my mother and wanted me to get a marriage certificate with you. Xi Chenyu, aren't you too calculating?"
"Okay, I get it."
It's just a proposal ceremony. Xi Jingyu can do it, and so can he!
"If you can't satisfy me, there's no chance of getting a marriage certificate."
Mingxi said lightly. Hearing this, Xi Chenyu said with a firm face: "Don't worry, it will definitely be more romantic than the scene when my brother proposed to my third sister!"
"You still know romance?"
Mingxi raised an eyebrow.
Xi Chenyu: "I'm not a caveman."
"Okay, let's make it like this. Xiaoyu, go home and tell your parents. Later, our two families will sit down to finalize the wedding date. As for when to get the marriage certificate and take wedding photos, you and Guoguo will discuss it."
Hearing Jiang Li's words, Xi Chenyu stood up: "Thank you, Mom!" His eyes moved to Luo Yanqing: "Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom and Dad for marrying Guoguo to me!"
Luo Yanqing's eyes were sharp and cold. He stared at Xi Chenyu: "If Luo Mingxi is not happy with you, don't blame me for asking her to divorce you!"
"Dad, I promise to love Guoguo and never let Guoguo be unhappy!"
How could he let go of the little girl he loved so much and see her unhappy?
Xi Chenyu believed that no matter how many sixteen or seventeen years passed, his feelings for Mingxi would remain unchanged. He would guard her like the first sixteen or seventeen years, follow her with his eyes, and accompany her to the end of her life!
"Mom and Dad, is Sixth Sister going to marry Brother Xiaoyu?"
Xiao Mingxiu's tender voice suddenly sounded.
"Yeah."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded.
"I know."
It seems that he has to prepare a wedding gift for Sixth Sister in advance.
Xiao Mingxiu's face was tense, and his expression looked serious and solemn, which was particularly cute!
...
After dinner, Luo Yanqing took Jiang Li's hand and walked in the back garden to digest the food. Originally, the two were talking about Mingwei's upcoming birth. Unexpectedly, Luo Yanqing suddenly changed the topic to Mingxi: "Do you really agree to let the boy from the Xi family and Luo Mingxi get a marriage certificate?"
"It's not a good thing, are you going to regret it?"
Jiang Li looked at the man with a smile: "Can't bear to part with your daughter?"
"...Luo Mingxi is still young."
After a long silence, Luo Yanqing said something softly.
"You're just being stubborn!"
Jiang Li smiled and shook her head. She said: "Both families are in Beicheng, and the two children also work in Beicheng. What's the difference between marrying someone and not marrying someone?"
Hearing this, Luo Yanqing pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Think about Weiwei. Didn't she still come home often after getting married?"
Jiang Li said, and seeing that the man still didn't say anything, she scratched his palm and said softly: "Children have their own ideas when they grow up. Besides, Guoguo and Xiaoyu are not doing anything bad. They just want to get married early, and they have reached the legal age for marriage. There is really nothing wrong with it."
Luo Yanqing: "Luo Mingxi is less than 20 years old."
"Mr. Luo, do you want to recall how old I was when I married you?" With a smile in her voice, Jiang Li looked at the man with a teasing look: "Eighteen, I was only eighteen years old at the time, and I married you as my wife. Speaking of it, you are still an old cow eating tender grass!"
After she said this, Luo Yanqing immediately felt his cheeks hot: "I am only a few years older than you."
Jiang Li: "Not a few years old, but 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 while, 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 instantly felt happy.
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 certificates."
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, how could they get so lucky?"
"With a son-in-law and half a son, you can think of it as our family having an extra son."
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 there is no shortage of boys in our family.”
Luo Yanqing said without hesitation: "That's right." 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, and she was sitting 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." Xi Chenyu moved his eyes and 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 Guo Guo. "
"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, while 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. Uncle Luo and Aunt Jiang felt that I was good enough, so they 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 good 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 made a hissing sound from his mouth, 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 laughing.
"Can you give me some face?"
I thought my family knew nothing, but this laughter clearly told him that his wife had pinched the soft flesh on his waist as punishment, and my family saw it all.
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 "whoosh" into it.
"It's your blessing to marry Weiwei, but you still dare to complain that Weiwei married you too late. I think you deserve to be punished by Weiwei!"
Xu Dan stopped laughing and said to Xi Jingyu.
"Mom! I'm your biological son!"
Xi Jingyu's eyes were full of resentment.
"I didn't say you're not."
Xu Dan responded casually.
Xi Jingyu: "You are partial! Since Weiwei and I got married, you have been partial to Weiwei and treat her much better than me!"
Mingwei raised her eyebrows: "Do you have any objection?"
"I..."
Xi Jingyu shook his head pretending to be afraid.
Once again, the whole family laughed out loud.
Xu Dan: "I will treat whoever I want to treat well. Weiwei is my good daughter-in-law, so I am partial to her. If you don't agree, just keep it to yourself." She turned her eyes to her youngest son: "You too, when Guoguo marries into our family, she will be my other daughter. I will spoil her and love her. If you don't agree, just find a place to complain."
"Mom treats Guoguo well, treats Guoguo as a daughter, and I will only be happy for Guoguo."
Xi Chenyu said without hesitation. After hearing his words, Xu Dan rolled his eyes at Xi Chenyu, the second son: "Did you hear that? The youngest is smarter than you!"
"Mom, Xiaoyu is smarter than Xi Jingyu, and the fact that my parents agreed to Guoguo's marriage certificate so early shows how much my parents trust Xiaoyu!" Mingwei said, not forgetting to give Xi Chenyu a provocative look: Did you hear that? I just want to hit you, and see if you dare not learn your lesson?
"Weiwei, my parents are also very satisfied with me!"
Xi Jingyu defended himself: "Every time I went there, my parents welcomed me very much, and my mother even cooked delicious food for me personally!"
"Really? How come I didn't know?!"
Mingwei suppressed her laughter and pretended to be confused.
"Guobang, Dandan, since the in-laws asked Xiaoyu to bring a message to you, then you should meet with the in-laws as soon as possible to finalize the wedding date of Xiaoyu and Guoguo."
At this time, Mrs. Xi spoke to Xi Guobang and Xu Dan.
"Okay, Mom."
Xi Guobang and his wife nodded.
"This afternoon, Xiao Gao also told me that he wanted to match up Yueyue and Xiaoyu's marriage and become in-laws with our family." Old Master Xi said: "I suspect that he is pretending to be confused, but considering that everyone lives in the same compound, it didn't hurt the relationship. I just told him that Xiaoyu's marriage has been settled."
Needless to say, the Xiao Gao mentioned by Old Master Xi refers to the old man of the Gao family.
"Everyone in the compound knows that Xiaoyu and Guoguo are boyfriend and girlfriend, and that they grew up together. How can he have the nerve to mention that he wants to marry Yueyue to our family in front of you?!"
Old Lady Xi frowned: "There are many young girls in the compound, and I have heard many people mention the bad things about the little girls from the Gao and Jiang families."
Xu Dan: "Sichun once came to me and said that her daughter Xingxing likes Tuanzi, and asked me to help 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 never wronged us brothers and sisters in any way. After learning about Jiang Xingxing's feelings, she directly stated that she would not interfere with Tuanzi's feelings. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xingxing didn't know how to stop when he was ahead, and he went to my house to find Tuanzi on New Year's Eve."
"What happened next?"
Xu Dan asked.
Ming Wei said calmly: "Tuanzi directly rejected her. After my mother found out, she asked Xi Jingyu to drive Jiang Xingxing back to our compound."
"Why didn't you mention it during the Chinese New Year?"
Xu Dan looked at Xi Jingyu.
It's not a big deal that needs to be mentioned."
Xi Jingyu really didn't take it to heart, so he didn't mention it in front of his family.
Old Lady Xi: "I haven't heard that the girl from the Jiang family has made any trouble in the months after the Chinese New Year."
"Maybe she has come to terms with it! Tuanzi has no interest in her, and my mother won't help her match up. In this case, she has seen the reality clearly and will naturally stop messing around."
Ming Wei said calmly: "I thought Jiang Xingxing was not smart, but she was able to see it in time, which shows that she is not useless."
Then she caught the bug...
