A few days later, it was the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. Su Jincheng returned to Ningcheng.
I took my luggage and went home first, packed it up, changed my clothes, took a few sets of changes of clothes, and drove straight to my sister's house.
Su Jinqi followed Aunt Hui, and Zhuang Xiaomeng was steaming steamed buns in the kitchen when she heard Jing Lie coming in shouting: "Mom, uncle is back!"
"Really?" After hearing this, several people were very happy. Su Jinqi clapped her hands and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen.
Su Jincheng saw his sister and went up to hug her: "Did you miss me?"
Su Jinqi looked at him and smiled, "It's not bad. You are very happy these days. You are with Sixuan every day."
Su Jincheng lowered his head and smiled sheepishly, "We are very good."
Aunt Hui and Zhuang Xiaomeng also came out and looked at him with smiles.
Su Jincheng first called Aunt Hui, then when he saw Zhuang Xiaomeng, he paused and nodded slightly. Zhuang Xiaomeng was very happy when he saw his son, and he was very satisfied with this nod.
"Jincheng, when did you come back? Have you eaten?" Aunt Hui asked.
Su Jincheng said: "I came back in the morning. I went home to clean up and came here. I'm not hungry yet. If I am, I'll tell you."
Su Jinqi knew his little plan and patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead and go back to your room."
"Okay, I'll go up first." After Su Jincheng finished speaking, he happily walked upstairs.
Li Jinglie watched his uncle go upstairs, a little disappointed, and said to Su Jinqi: "I still want my uncle to play with us."
"Don't you three have enough fun? Your uncle is busy now. When he has some free time, he will play with you again." Su Jinqi coaxed him, and then returned to the kitchen.
The three of them continued to be busy steaming steamed buns. Aunt Hui said with a smile: "Jincheng is in a much better mood when he comes back this time. Has there been any result with the sister of the Shan family?"
Su Jinqi said "Hmm" with a smile on her lips, "It was decided before going to the Imperial Capital. The two of them went to the Imperial Capital to study together, and their relationship has heated up again."
When Zhuang Xiaomeng heard this, he was very surprised and very happy: "Really? The two of them are really together? Why didn't you tell me about this great thing?"
"I thought I'd tell you during the Chinese New Year." Su Jinqi explained, "Besides, Jincheng and the others have just gotten together, so it's not too late to talk about stability."
Aunt Hui said: "Sister Shan's family has grown up a lot in the past few years. Sometimes she will greet me when she sees me in the community. Sometimes she will help me carry things when she sees me carrying them. The little girl is kind and follows me.
Jincheng and Jincheng are together, the two of them seem to be a good match, which is really good."
"Can those two get married?" Zhuang Xiaomeng asked.
"Mom, I see you are in a hurry. These two have just gotten together, so why don't they have to be together for a year and a half before they know whether they can get married. But I think if everything goes well, they will."
Zhuang Xiaomeng was overjoyed when she heard that her son had a girlfriend. This major life issue was half solved. She always wanted to do something for her son, but she didn't know what to do.
"Qiqi, please ask Sinuan to come over for dinner tonight. Will Jincheng agree?" Zhuang Xiaomeng asked again.
Su Jinqi understood her mother's thoughts and said, "I'll ask him later."
"Hey, that's good." Zhuang Xiaomeng said with a smile.
The steamed buns were cooked and steamed. Su Jinqi went upstairs to find Su Jincheng.
Zhuang Xiaomeng and Aunt Hui packed up the chopping board and asked: "Sister, if you say that Si Nuan will come over tonight, how much will I give you as a greeting gift?"
Aunt Hui thought for a while and said: "We really need to think carefully about the first meeting gift. If we give less, it seems like we are not satisfied. But there is no need to give too much. We have a long time to come, you are right."
"Yes, yes, that's what I think too. But how much do you want to give? Sinuan is also a girl from a wealthy family. I'm afraid that my view on money is different. If I give it to the wrong person, I'm afraid of losing Jincheng's face."
Aunt Hui nodded and said: "This meeting gift represents your feelings, so let's do it according to our ability. Sixty-six thousand, what do you think?"
Zhuang Xiaomeng thought for a moment and said, "Well, I think it will work. Then this is the number."
Upstairs, Su Jinqi also told Su Jincheng about asking Shan Sinuan to come home for dinner in the evening.
Su Jincheng scratched his forehead and asked, "Is this your intention or hers?"
"Can you stop calling her mom?" Su Jinqi said, "You can just call her mom, and there's nothing you can do about it. Of course, this is what we all want, and Si Nuan is not an outsider. Bring her back for a meal."
Isn’t that normal?”
"Sister, you don't know that Brother Shan is particularly opposed to our affairs now. He is watching Xiao Nuan closely now. I'm afraid she won't be able to get out." Su Jincheng said with some distress.
Su Jinqi felt a little uneasy after hearing this, "His brother doesn't agree... Just now I told mom and Aunt Hui that they both want to come over for dinner."
"Then let me send her a WeChat message and ask." Su Jincheng picked up the phone and said.
The message was sent, and a few minutes later, Shan Sinuan sent a voice message. Her voice was not loud, as if she was secretly saying, "I really want to go, but my brother is taking me to a cocktail party tonight."
"That's it, then you go with Brother Shan." After Su Jincheng sent the message, he sighed in disappointment and shrugged at his sister.
Su Jinqi was also thinking about this. She rolled her eyes, picked up her phone, and sent a WeChat message to Li Jinghan: Husband, help me accompany Shan Chenghao tonight.
She then posted the reason for the incident.
More than twenty minutes later, Li Jinghan gave her an OK expression back.
Su Jinqi looked at the phone and smiled smugly, patted her brother on the shoulder, "Don't be depressed, your brother-in-law has arranged for Shan Chenghao for you. I think Sinuan will call you soon. I'll go downstairs first."
When Su Jincheng heard this, his sadness turned into joy, "Really? Thank you, brother-in-law, and sister!"
"Ask Sinuan what she wants to eat tonight and cook it for her."
"Okay!"
Sure enough, Shan Chenghao had something to do in the evening, so he couldn't go to the reception and went to socialize with other things. Shan Sinuan went to Su Jinqi's house for dinner as he wished.
In the afternoon, she received a call from Su Jincheng and knew in advance that things had changed. She immediately went to the supermarket and bought several gifts. It was the first time she went to Li's house as Su Jincheng's girlfriend. How could she go empty-handed?
"Aunt, Seventh Sister." As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhuang Xiaomeng and Su Jinqi greeting her. She felt embarrassed and handed over the gift, "This is for you."
Aunt Hui picked it up from the side.
Su Jinqi held her hand and said happily: "It's not my first time here, what are you buying? We are happy when you arrive!"
Pulling her to sit on the sofa, Zhuang Xiaomeng appeared even more happy and kept staring at her as if it was the first time he saw her.
Su Jinqi noticed it, touched her gently, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Mom, don't be like this, Si Nuan must be embarrassed."
