Chapter 278 Mom's Big Mouth
Since buying a house in the city five years ago, Gu Honglan's family has stopped making dumplings at the end of the year.
Usually it was done by her mother's family in Shuangfeng Town, and the sisters would go to help, and each of them would bring home a hundred or so.
Now that I live back in my old house in the countryside, I suddenly have the conditions to do these things.
Gu Honglan originally only called her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to help, because the other sisters had to go to work, and she didn't even call them.
The problem was that last weekend, she went to town to make rice noodles and returned to her parents' home.
While showing off his future daughter-in-law Jiang Fan, he "accidentally" revealed that she would come to help make dumplings today.
So, everyone who could come, and everyone who couldn’t come, came!
The reason must not just be because of Jiang Fan.
Maybe everyone wanted to take this opportunity to get together in Luo Jian's home.
Especially when it was time for dinner, Luo Yang's two uncles, four uncles-in-law, and his third uncle who came to pick up his aunt, all came.
Not only the adults, but also the children who were on winter vacation were lucky enough to have a house in the countryside with a large yard. If they moved to their original house in the city, they would have been too crowded.
Fortunately, he had a car, so Luo Yang urgently went to the delicatessen in the town to buy seven or eight cold dishes.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, the family had prepared a lot of things, so Gu Honglan managed to fill the table with a full dish.
There is an octagonal table in the main hall, just enough to seat eight male elders.
The women and children were well-fed with dumplings in the afternoon, so there was no need to set up another table.
Originally, Luo Yang was going to be pulled to the corner of the hanging table (adding a square stool at the corner of the octagonal table is a rural practice, usually done when there is no room), but fortunately Jiang Fan was there, and the excuse of sending her home was impeccable, so Luo Yang was able to escape.
After the car drove out of the yard, Jiang Fan immediately took out a stack of red envelopes from her bag and showed them in front of him.
"Luo Yang, what should we do?"
"Don't you know this is the custom in Yang City?"
Luo Yang was driving and glanced at the red envelope in Jiang Fan's hand.
He smiled and said, "When a boy brings his girlfriend home in a more formal way, the elders in the family will give a meeting gift, usually around 600 or 800 yuan. The big red envelope will only be given to you when you get married, so just take it."
"what?"
Jiang Fan really didn't know there was such a custom.
"Oh, that's not right, when you came to my house for dinner."
The last time Luo Yang came to visit, not only did he bring a bunch of gifts, but Xiao Yujun and Liu Shunzhi didn't give him any red envelopes.
"Little fool, a boy comes to ask for marriage, how can he take the red envelope from the girl's family?"
Luo Yang explained seriously: "It is only allowed at the banquet on the wedding day, and you can only accept red envelopes from the bride's relatives in the name of husband and wife."
Is that right?
I opened the red envelope with some doubt, and sure enough, there was 800 yuan in it.
Open another one, another 800 yuan.
This makes me feel a little relieved.
"Fanfan, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
When Jiang Fan put away the red envelope, Luo Yang spoke up; "I didn't expect so many relatives to come to my house."
If we trace the root of the problem, it must be Gu Honglan's fault.
"It's okay, I just felt a little uncomfortable at first."
Jiang Fan is not stupid. He knows without guessing that it must be the result of Gu Honglan showing off.
What can the future mother-in-law say?
So she smiled and said, "Your aunts and uncles are all very nice, especially grandma and grandma. They don't talk much, they just taught me how to make dumplings and wontons. Luo Yang, I have learned it now."
Luo Yang’s high school classmate, Jiang Yuanshan’s daughter, does she still need to check her household registration?
We chatted all the way and unknowingly arrived at Jiang Fan's residential area. The car stopped directly in front of her villa.
Before leaving, Gu Honglan stuffed 150 dumplings, 100 steamed wontons, and 50 spring rolls into the car. Jiang Fan couldn't carry them all by herself, so Luo Yang took most of the load and followed her into the villa.
Jiang Yuanshan hasn't come back yet, Liu Shunzhi and Xiao Yujun have gone out for a walk, so only the nanny is at home.
"I'm going back first."
"Wait a moment!"
Jiang Fan called out to Luo Yang, then ran to the back and soon came out with two large bags of things.
"?"
"You are going to visit the school leaders tomorrow, so my dad has some here, so you don't have to go buy them again."
Without further ado, he stuffed the bag into Luo Yang's hand and pushed him out: "Hurry up, Lao Jiang will be back soon, don't let him see it."
You haven't even gotten married yet, and you've already learned to take things out?
Luo Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. When he returned to the countryside, it was almost half past eight and the show had not yet ended.
My uncle-in-law's family and my uncle's family are still there.
The wine and food on the eight-immortals table had been cleared away, the adults were drinking tea and chatting, and my cousin Qiao Jiajun and cousin Luo Ting were playing with their mobile phones nearby.
"Did you send Jiang Fan home?"
When she saw Luo Yang enter the room, Gu Honglan was still concerned about her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, don't you ask me if I'm hungry?"
"Hahaha"
My aunt Gu Hongqiu and my aunt Xu Yaqiu couldn't help laughing out loud.
After hearing her sister and brother's wife laugh at her, Gu Honglan realized that she was so partial to him that even her son was jealous.
She couldn't help laughing: "Look at you, you ate at least 5 dumplings this afternoon, and you still have enough for dinner?"
"Yangyang, come sit over here and chat with me."
Third uncle Luo Jianmin waved his hand, motioning Luo Yang to sit over.
"How come your father has become a shareholder of the development company in the blink of an eye?"
As soon as I sat down, problems arose.
Luo Jianguo must have explained it before, but the whole thing was arranged by Luo Yang, and the father did not know the cause and effect of this matter as well as the son.
Qiao Shian didn't say anything, but from his expression, it can be seen that he was also very interested.
“I’m not very optimistic about the future of residential and commercial real estate.”
Luo Yang had nothing to hide in front of his relatives, especially his third uncle and uncle-in-law.
It was just a flashback of cause and effect. He drew a conclusion first, and then gave an explanation based on the information from his previous life.
"Uncle San, uncle-in-law, it is precisely because I have seen clearly what is going on inside that I am willing to get out of the traditional real estate industry and find a way to make my father transform as well."
As Luo Yang spoke, he turned to Luo Jianguo and said, "My original intention was to cooperate with Jincheng, but Liang Xingmin couldn't get out of his comfortable circle and lacked enough courage, so later I turned to discuss cooperation with Fu Bin of Santai."
"Mr. Liang still has some courage"
After all, I worked as the general contractor in Four Seasons Garden for more than half a year and had a lot of contact with Liang Xingmin.
Emotionally speaking, he is still close to Lao Liang.
"Perhaps, if there is enough time to persuade."
Luo Yang smiled noncommittally, then said: "Boss Liang's daughter has the idea of change, but she is not in power yet, so she can't influence Boss Liang's opinion in a short time. But my uncle-in-law can't wait."
"what?"
Luo Jianmin looked at Qiao Shian in surprise.
How come Luo Jianguo's investment in a real estate company is related to his brother-in-law?
Qiao Shian's mind was as clear as a mirror.
He then began to explain.
Finally, he sighed and said to Luo Jianmin: "In this matter, Yangyang gave a push, otherwise there would be no hope at all."
The difficulties faced by Shuangfeng Town at that time were not small. Not to mention the city's intention and the city investment company's retreat, the fact that the top leader didn't want to get involved was enough to kill the project a hundred times.
In the end, Luo Yang managed to complete the project by dragging his feet.
After the whole thing was revealed, everyone's eyes on Luo Yang changed.
A student who has not yet finished his junior year, in half a year, first helped his father to achieve a breakthrough and transformation in his business, and then helped his uncle-in-law to build a platform for singing. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a monster.
For a moment, Luo Jianmin even felt a little jealous.
Fortunately, he had only been in office for a short time, so he couldn't consider further matters for the time being.
The following conversation returned to Luo Yang.
To be more specific, it is Jiang Fan.
"I heard from your mother that she will come to propose marriage next year?"
Women are more interested in gossip, and Aunt Gu Hongqiu asked for the most important information right away.
Luo Yang's eyes instantly turned to his mother.
Gu Honglan turned her head away embarrassedly, avoiding her son's gaze.
Oh, my mom has such a big mouth!
