Chapter 1573: The water poured out by the married daughter
New York, Tang Family.
Tonight's dinner was very sumptuous. Mu Ge specially asked the kitchen to cook Chinese food. The Tang brothers rarely ate Chinese food in the past. Since marrying Mu Ge and Su Qingchen, they always eat Chinese food half the time a week.
Chinese food.
According to domestic customs, if there is a happy event in the family, a sumptuous meal is cooked and the whole family is invited to have a meal together to celebrate.
Today is the day when Jiao Jiao and Xiao En register their marriage. It is a big happy event. Mu Ge ordered the kitchen to make nine dishes and one soup, which not only means long-lasting but also perfect.
The family sat down in order of priority, and the servants poured the sobered red wine for them in turn, except for Jiao Jiao, whose wine was replaced with juice.
Tang Jian, the patriarch of the family, was still in a mood and refused to speak. Mu Ge, the head matron, took over and picked up the wine glass and began to speak.
"Jiao Jiao is the eldest child in our family. I'm very happy to be married today. I would like to wish them a happy wedding with the first cup."
"Wish our Princess Jiaojiao a happy wedding."
Su Qingchen answered.
"Happy wedding, my precious niece."
Tang Yue also answered.
"Sister, big brother, happy wedding."
Tang Muchen ordered his wine glasses at them.
Tang Jingzhan was the last to speak: "I wish my sister and eldest brother a happy wedding and a son soon, hahaha, so that I will not be the youngest."
Then the next second, he received a death gaze from Tang Jian.
Tang Jingzhan:...Did he say something wrong?
Su Qingchen held his forehead, but he could only go back once or twice a year, otherwise his son would be infected by Ye Muyi even more.
"Thank you parents, thank you uncle and aunt, thank you Mu Chen and Jing Zhan."
Xiao En raised his glass and gratefully accepted everyone's blessings.
Jiao Jiao also raised his glass, and specifically said to Tang Jian: "Daddy."
Tang Jian then picked up the wine glass. Seeing that everyone's parents finally gave him face, everyone quickly drank the first glass of celebratory wine.
It was a very enjoyable meal, and everyone was very happy, except Tang Jian, of course, but no one took care of his little mood. There was really nothing anyone else could do about the old father's mood.
Xiao En has been taking care of Jiao Jiao, picking up food for her and serving soup for her. Tang Xintian and the other three are envious and hateful. They are nakedly spreading dog food and don't take care of their three single dogs at all.
After the meal, the elders took out the prepared red envelopes and gave them to Jiao Jiao and Xiao En. This is also a domestic custom. They think this custom is very meaningful and will give red envelopes to children during every festival.
"Brother, I also want a red envelope. Have you prepared a red envelope for me?"
Tang Jingzhan came over to rub the red envelope.
Where was Xiao En going to prepare red envelopes? He didn't know that the newlywed brother-in-law needed to prepare red envelopes for his brother-in-law.
But it doesn't matter, he was smart enough and took a few cards from the red envelope and gave them to Tang Jingzhan: "There is no red envelope, but there is money in the red envelope. Do you want it?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
It was mainly auspicious, so Tang Jingzhan quickly grabbed it.
Xiao En was amused, and he also drew a few cards and gave them to Tang Xintian and Tang Muchen respectively.
Both siblings also accepted it and asked Jiao Jiao for it.
"No."
Jiao Jiao hid the red envelope she received in her pocket and spread her hands.
"Sister, don't be so stingy, brother gave me everything."
Tang Jingzhan said.
"Then you still want it from me?
Who gives out two gifts?"
Jiao Jiao joked with them.
Tang Muchen complained: "The water thrown out by the married daughter."
Tang Xintian: "Yes!"
Hearing a few small jokes, except for Tang Jian, the other three adults all laughed.
After laughing for a while, everyone dispersed and went back to rest.
Jiao Jiao and Xiao En also went upstairs, and Xiao En sent her back to her room and said, "I have already told mom and dad about our return to China first, and they all agreed.
Mommy asked Aunt An to help clean up the house, and we can go back when it is done."
Jiao Jiao nodded. She felt sorry for Xiao En a lot in her heart, but she couldn't say a word.
"Go to bed early, good night."
Xiao En stood at the door very gentlemanly and did not go in.
Jiao Jiao opened her mouth, but finally just said: "Good night."
She closed the door, and Xiao En stood at her door for a while before returning to his room. Seeing Mu Ge waiting for him at the door, he hurriedly took two steps.
"mom."
"I'll bring you a glass of milk."
Mu Ge pointed to the tray. There were two cups on it, one was for him and the other was for Jiao Jiao.
"Thank you, Mom."
Xiao En opened the door and invited Mu Ge in.
Mu Ge walked in, put the milk on the coffee table in the small living room, and sat down, obviously she had something to say to him.
Xiao En also hurriedly sat down.
Mu Ge looked at him gently and smiled: "After waiting for so many years, I finally waited for you to call me mom."
"I'm very happy, thank you mom."
Xiao En is the most grateful to Mu Ge.
"Just be happy. Your dad just can't accept it for the moment. It's not that he doesn't like you. He has told me more than once that you are very good. Give him some time and let him accept it slowly."
Mu Ge was afraid that Tang Jian's attitude would hurt Xiao En's heart, so she came here specially.
"I can understand Dad's mood. I was surprised that he didn't beat me up."
Xiao En was already prepared to be beaten before he came, but he didn't expect that Tang Jian would just be cold-blooded. He felt that this was already a very good start.
Mu Ge chuckled, and felt relieved when he saw that he didn't mind, and then said: "Jiao Jiao, don't be impatient, she can propose marriage and leave a child, which is already a very big step.
If you give her a little more time, I believe she can come out."
"I'm not in a hurry, Mom, I'm very satisfied to be able to do this."
Xiao En said sincerely.
Mu Ge patted his shoulder distressedly. Her daughter was lucky to have such a loving man.
After coming out of Xiao En's room, Mu Ge went to Jiao Jiao's room.
Jiao Jiao had already finished taking a shower and came to open the door while wiping her hair.
Mu Ge asked her to drink the milk first, and then found a hair dryer to dry her hair.
"It feels like Mommy hasn't dried my hair for a long time."
Jiao Jiao recalled.
"Yes, ever since you came to New York when you were six or seven years old, your dad has always bathed and dried your hair. I have no chance of blow-drying your hair."
Mu Ge said.
Jiao Jiao burst out laughing: "Mommy, you are still jealous of Daddy."
"I'm too lazy to compete with him for you."
Mu Ge laughed.
Jiao Jiao turned around and hugged Muge, pressing her wet head against hers: "Mommy, I love you."
Mu Ge smiled lightly and blew her hair gently, without mentioning the matter between her and Xiao En, because she knew very well that only she could resolve such matters, and no matter how reasonable others said, it would be of no use.
She didn't speak, and Jiaojiao didn't speak either. They just hugged Mu Ge quietly, just like they did when they were children.
Neither mother nor daughter spoke anymore, quietly enjoying their alone time.
