The first time Feng Yanjun came to the door, Yang Shuxing couldn't stand it anymore as he was busy in the kitchen.
Although I was in a hurry this time and I really didn't make any preparations, I didn't ask the guests to help in the kitchen for the first time. When I was about to roll up my sleeves and go in, I was assigned a new task by Xiang Rong.
Looking at his two boxes of seafood, Xiang Rong was afraid that he might not be able to prepare a seafood banquet for one or two tables, so he was just going to ask his husband to go out and buy some vegetables.
He stood in the kitchen and directed Feng Yanjun to pack the seafood.
Feng Yanjun had killed fish a lot before, but this was his first time cleaning seafood. Without Xiang Rong's command, he really wouldn't have had a clue about these tasks.
Yang Xiaoru sat in the living room, poured all the tea, and stretched her neck to look in the direction of the kitchen.
"Xiaoru, come, come to grandma." Jing Wen also comes from a famous family. Although he is old now, he still has a good manner.
"You went to their house yesterday. How did his family treat you?"
Jing Wen smiled gently and asked, stroking Xiang Xiaoru's hand.
"Very good. The Feng family treats me really well. By the way, his parents, sister, and sister Yanhong's mother-in-law all gave me greeting gifts. I'll take you to my house to have a look."
"There is also a big red envelope. When I came back yesterday, my mother pulled me and scolded me. I didn't even have time to open it!"
Jing Wen nodded gently and followed Yang Xiaoru upstairs.
"Wow, I thought it would be a stack of ten yuan, but it turned out to be a hundred yuan." Yang Xiaoru's eyes lit up. This red envelope was worth her two or three years' salary!
Jing Wen saw a red one-yuan note mixed in a stack of one hundred yuan.
"This means choosing one from a million." Jing Wen was very satisfied with this meaning. It seemed that the young man's family conditions were better than they imagined.
"And these." Yang Xiaoru took out three jewelry boxes.
Jing Wen saw that there were gold ornaments inside and guessed that the Feng family must have just grown up and had no real background. His eyes sank. However, this family seemed to treat Xiaoru very well and it was worth getting to know.
Feng Yanjun worked hard in the kitchen, and Xiang Rong's view of him changed slightly.
To make this table of seafood, less than a box of things was used. After lunch, Xiang Rong felt a little worried. There was so much stuff that the refrigerator at home couldn't fit it!
After lunch, Feng Yanjun wanted to continue helping clear away the dishes, but was stopped by Xiang Guohua.
"Can you play chess?"
"I know a little bit, I don't dare to show my shame in front of you again."
I learned all this from Bo Qing. I haven't tried it outside, so I don't know what my level is.
"It'll be done in a little while, come and accompany me for the next game."
Yang Shuxing quickly took out a chess set from the study and placed it on the small table in the living room.
Feng Yanjun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that what he brought out was chess.
Fortunately, it's not Go, otherwise how could he be embarrassed by his Taoist skills, which are at the bottom of the family?
Xiang Rong and Yang Xiaoru cleaned up the dishes and counted the fruits that Feng Yanjun had brought.
"This guy is really good at spending money. How much does it cost? What are you buying so much for? How can you finish it all?"
Yang Xiaoru didn't know how to explain it. These things did cost a lot of money. They cost three to four thousand yuan, and the quantity he bought was indeed too huge.
"Isn't this my first time here? Maybe it's their custom there."
Yang Xiaoru thought about it and could only attribute this to different regional customs.
Xiang Rong didn't say anything else. Those gift boxes and dry goods were all fine, but these seafood and fruits were things that couldn't be stored. It seemed like they were worth giving away.
Feng Yanjun lost two games in a row and won the third game calmly. Although Xiang Guohua lost, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Yang Shuxing stood aside and watched the battle, feeling very nervous. He seemed to recall the first time he met his father-in-law.
Feng Yanjun was able to play steadily and calmly without being impatient even after losing two games in a row. This character is already much better than that of boys of the same age.
No wonder the old man said that playing chess can best reveal a person's character and character.
In the five games, Feng Yanjun lost three games and won two games. One of the games he lost was because he deliberately let himself go. After all, his grandfather was an elder and he could not let his grandfather lose face.
"Oh, you are too old after all, otherwise it would be impossible for your kid to win these two games."
"Shu Xing, you go with him, I have to go and stare at him for a while."
Xiang Guohua pretended to be tired, stood up, and gave up his seat to Yang Shuxing.
Yang Shuxing's hands were itching to watch from the side, so he stopped being polite to his father-in-law and watched his father-in-law return to the room, ready to fight Feng Yanjun.
But after all, it had been a long time since he had touched this thing. Even if Feng Yanjun deliberately let go, he could not win a few games this afternoon.
Feng Yanjun is not afraid of losing at all now. What he is afraid of is that if he wins too much, his father-in-law will have a bad impression of him in the future. Seeing that he has won another game, his heart is almost burned to ashes.
It turns out it’s so hard to lose!
Yang Shuxing was very calm, and his expression didn't change much from the beginning to the end. Xiang Rong, who watched two games of chess, shook his head beside him.
As for her husband, who is such a bad chess player, only Gui Zai persists.
"Xiao Feng will go back after dinner. There will still be a lot of things. If we open again next time, we are not allowed to buy so many things again."
Feng Yanjun's body instantly tensed upright, and his eyes lit up.
"good!"
There will be a next time, and you will be recognized, right?
Yang Xiaoru had been following her mother just now. She saw her mother's change in attitude towards Feng Yanjun and secretly gave Feng Yanjun a look.
Xiang Guohua took a nap and went outside for a walk feeling refreshed. When he came back, he waved to Xiang Rong to come into his room.
Yang Shuxing was watching the chess game intently and didn't notice at all, but the corners of Feng Yanjun's mouth turned up slightly, and flowers were blooming in his heart.
"Dad, what did you see?"
After Xiang Rong entered the house, he closed the door.
"I can see it. Your daughter has better taste than you. This kid has a good temperament and knows how to advance and retreat. If he can hone his skills again, we can get along well with him."
Xiang Rong was stung by his father's first words. He remembered his father's original evaluation of Yang Shuxing. What did he mean?
'This boy is patient and has good character. He is just a little stupid and a little roundabout. Don't expect him to do anything great. But with our family here, as long as he doesn't make big mistakes, his life will be smooth.
'
Xiang Rong had mixed tastes in his mouth, for his father would have such a high opinion of Feng Yanjun.
She was not jealous of her father's words, but she knew that her daughter was too pure-hearted, and she didn't know whether meeting such a person would be good or bad.
"You don't have to worry about that little girl, she's not as stupid as you look." Jing Wen smiled and patted his daughter's hand.
"The Feng family must have only developed in the past few years. They don't have much background, but their attitude towards Xiaoru is pretty good. We will meet again if we have the opportunity later."
"Huh? How do you know?" Xiang Rong asked.
"Didn't Xiaoru let you see the meeting gift given to her by the Feng family?"
Jing Wen looked at his daughter's confused look and knew that he must have been focused on scolding Xiaoru yesterday and didn't even bother to ask what was going on at her home.
He shook his head and explained to his daughter.
Giving gold as a greeting gift has only become popular in the past few years. Ordinary families would give one or two grams as a gift, but the minimum gram of the few things given by the Feng family was only ten grams, so they were not generally generous.
Coupled with the 10,011 red envelope, it shows that the conditions of the Feng family are not bad.
But the weight of the gold revealed that the Feng family had little background.
If you are a person with some background, you will give something that has a better meaning, looks better, and is elegant.
It's not that she dislikes gold as vulgar, it's hard currency after all, and she is sincere in giving this explanation.
It's just that these things don't look like something a scholarly family could give away.
"You old woman, you are still so particular. There are still a few families like the Jing family, which are leisurely and leisurely. I think gold is very good. If in troubled times, you can replace it with a basket of rice, what can you do with those beautiful things?
use?"
"I'm just talking about things as they happen. Look at you, when will the dog's temper change? When will I be unable to tell?"
The old couple had another disagreement, and Xiang Rong could only hurriedly persuade both sides. Fortunately, there were outsiders, and the old couple knew some sense of propriety and did not make any noise.
