Chapter 228: Chapter 38 Dismissal_2
Lu Rong’s resentful gaze pierced through Lin Xiaoguai as she left, causing Lin to frown subtly, though it was nearly imperceptible.
Time quickly advanced to Sunday morning, and Lin Xiaoguai’s family set off early with prepared gifts for Jiang Xiaomei’s new house.
"...21, 22, 23, this should be it." Lin Xiaoguai stepped up and knocked on the door.
The door soon opened, and Jiang Xiaomei greeted them with a beaming smile, "Xiao Guai, you’re here! Come in and sit down. Ah Feng and the others are already here, just waiting for you."
"Here, a housewarming gift." Lin Xiaoguai handed over the fruit she brought.
Jiang Xiaomei unceremoniously accepted it and led them into the house.
Jiang Xiaomei’s newly bought house was quite spacious, a three-bedroom suite layout, though not centrally located, it still wasn’t remote. It was a detached quadrangle, but since it was newly built, it was neat and not shabby.
The family of three followed Jiang Xiaomei into the living room where Mrs. Jiang was chatting with another woman around fifty. Beside them, there were two women sitting, one about thirty and the other quite young, around Jiang Xiaomei’s age.
On one side, two men, one young and one old, were talking together, the younger one was probably Yi Feng.
As for Mr. Jiang, he was not seen in the living room, probably busy in the kitchen.
"Are you back?" Just as Jiang Xiaomei entered, Yi Feng looked up and smiled at her.
Lin Xiaoguai took the opportunity to take a closer look at him. A spirited young man with slightly handsome features, not comparable to Shen Chi but undoubtedly giving a more secure feeling to women. His skin was slightly tanned, his eyes bright, and his smile conveyed a very reliable impression.
First impression 75 points, Lin Xiaoguai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Mrs. Jiang also stood up and smilingly said, "Is that Xiao Guai? Come, take a seat. Help yourself to whatever you want to eat, don’t be shy, make yourself at home."
"Hello, Aunt Jiang," Lin Xiaoguai sat down next to her, turning to Little Niangao, "Say hello to everyone."
"Hello, grandma, hello, Aunt Xiao Mei." Little Niangao called out in a sweet, milky voice.
"Ah, our Little Niangao has grown taller, hasn’t he?" Mrs. Jiang said while laughing and placed a handful of sunflower seeds in front of him.
"Thank you, grandma." Little Niangao politely thanked her and then began to eat.
"Aunt Jiang." At this time, Shen Chi also came over and sat down.
"Xiao Shen, you’re here too? Don’t stay with us women; go and talk with Ah Feng and the others." Pausing for a moment, Aunt Jiang added with a smile, "I almost forgot to introduce everyone."
She pointed to the young man and said, "This is Yi Feng, our Xiao Mei’s boyfriend. They are getting engaged next month. Don’t forget to come drink the wedding wine. These are the future parents-in-law, and these two are Ah Feng’s sisters, Yi Chunxia and Yi Dongxia."
"Hello, uncle and aunt, Chunxia sister, Dongxia sister. I’m Xiao Mei’s friend Lin Xiaoguai, this is my husband Shen Chi, and this is my son Shen Yinian, his nickname is Little Niangao." Lin Xiaoguai smiled as she introduced her family.
"Xiao Guai and our Xiao Mei grew up together, as close as if they were one person," Aunt Jiang added from the side.
Since one was an active military member and the other was retired, the two had common topics to discuss, and Shen Chi’s sociable skills were good, he and Yi Feng quickly started chatting.
However, on the women’s side, Lin Xiaoguai was somewhat at a loss about what to talk with them. Their conversation revolved around mundane topics such as "How old are you this year?", "What job do you do?", "You’re actually a university graduate!", "Is Little Niangao in kindergarten?"
"Aunt Jiang, I’ll take Little Niangao to the kitchen to say hello to Mr. Jiang," Lin Xiaoguai said, finding an excuse to leave.
"Ah, sure, come back quickly, guests shouldn’t feel obligated to help."
In the kitchen, Mr. Jiang was busy cooking and smiled when he saw her, "Xiao Guai, you’re here?" He reached out to pat Little Niangao, then asked, "Where’s Xiao Shen?"
"He’s outside talking with Yi Feng."
Mr. Jiang nodded, looked outside, then leaned in and asked in a hushed tone, "What do you think of this young man? He’s not like Aidang, right?" He was previously nearly deceived concerning his daughter, which made him slightly distrustful of his own judgment now.
"I’ve only looked at him briefly, what can I tell?" Lin Xiaoguai chuckled. "Time reveals a person’s heart. They’re not getting married immediately anyway. Uncle, you really can’t rush this."
"I’m not rushing, I’m not rushing." Mr. Jiang said this but couldn’t help adding, "But with Xiao Mei’s personality, I really worry she might not get along well with her in-laws. It would be great if she could marry a live-in son-in-law."
"Uncle, you can’t think like that. Which successful man would want to marry into a woman’s family? As long as the man is good, marrying off your daughter can also ensure the care of the parents-in-law. But if the person isn’t good, even if he marries into the family, you can’t stop him from being malicious," Lin Xiaoguai quickly reassured him. freewebnøvel.com
"That’s true," Mr. Jiang’s expression relaxed then he pressed further, "Seriously, Xiao Guai, what do you think of Ah Feng? You have to give some insight, right?"
"First impression is good, he seems steady and caring, but to know him better will take time," Lin Xiaoguai could only say so much.
"Well, I’ll set half my heart at ease then," Mr. Jiang sighed in relief. "I don’t expect too much, as long as Ah Feng truly cares for Xiao Mei, that’s enough."
"Are his parents easy to get along with?" This time, it was Lin Xiaoguai’s turn to ask.
"Not bad, the mother-in-law is a bit rigid, but the father-in-law is kind. Both are reasonable people. Xiao Mei has a good nature and doesn’t strive confrontationally. The mother-in-law is strict but means well, they should get along," Mr. Jiang replied easilly as he cooked.
He casually put a chicken wing into Little Niangao’s mouth.
"Uncle, you shouldn’t spoil him too much, what will others think? He still has to eat later."
"No worries, the chicken is big, it wouldn’t even fit in one dish." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com)
