It was a little cramped for five people to have one car, especially since Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziâang were already 1.8 meters tall.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan got into Li Miaoâs car and sat in the back seat. She could also help Li Miao look after Little Mumu.
He was already one year and eight months old and could already speak.
The entire time, he was chattering in a language that the adults could not understand.
Ji Yuanyuan pretended to understand and continued to talk to him.
Li Miao looked at the two of them in the back row and said with a smile, âHeâs willing to talk now. Your uncle and I are almost annoyed to death by him. We couldnât understand it and couldnât hide.â
Ji Yuanyuan smiled and stuffed a small bun into Mumuâs mouth. She then took a tissue to wipe his saliva, âHow is it annoying? Heâs so cute.â
âIf you think heâs cute, you can take care of him.â Li Miao joked.
After saying a few words, Li Miao changed the topic to the matter of splitting the family.
âI heard from your Second Aunt about what happened that day. Donât take it to heart. Your idea was good, but no one expected this outcome.â Li Miao comforted her.
She was probably afraid that she would overthink.
Ji Yuanyuanâs heart felt warm, âI understand.â
âActually, itâs good to split up. Now, only your grandparents think itâs good not to split up.â
If she were the daughter-in-law of the Li family, she would also want to leave the family.
After all, no one wished to be restricted.
Thinking of this, Li Miao sighed, âIâm just worried about your uncle. Heâs not born to do business.â
Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning didnât want to farm in their hometown, so they converted the greenhouses and farmhouses into money. They took the money and planned to move to the city.
The couple planned to open a shop. As for what shop to open, they had not discussed it yet.
âSpeaking of which, when Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle were dating, Eldest Uncle said that he wanted to open a shop in the county to do business.â Ji Yuanyuan said in a fair manner.
After they got married, the couple stayed in their hometown to plant a greenhouse.
On the surface, Eldest Aunt was very supportive of Eldest Uncleâs idea, but she might be a little unhappy in her heart.
Li Miao thought about it, âIndeed.â
The reason why the Second Aunt did not have any objections was that she had lived a good life since she was young and was used to seeing the world. Instead, she liked the countryside.
However, Eldest Aunt had lived in the countryside since she was young and had followed her parents to do farm work.
It was understandable that she didnât want to stay in the countryside.
âThatâs true. I hope your uncle can be well. Donât learn from others and invest in some messy things.â
If he did a small business, even if he couldnât make money, he wouldnât lose too much.
In the past few years, the family has made a lot of money by planting greenhouses.
Big Brother and Sister-in-law also bought a lot of property.
As long as he did not squander, his eldest brother and sister-in-law could live a comfortable life for the rest of their lives.
After returning to B City, Li Xu started discussing the engagement of the two children with Cheng Shuqin.
Cheng Shuqin wanted to make it big and let all her relatives and friends know that her son was engaged. Her whole family liked this future daughter-in-law very much.
However, Li Xu did not entirely agree.
She felt Ji Yuanyuan was still young and was still in school. If it was a big event, it might give her a lot of pressure.
Therefore, Li Xu meant that there should be a ceremony, but not too many people.
Book four or five tables and invite only the main relatives of both parties and the childrenâs friends.
Although Cheng Shuqin was a little disappointed, she still listened to Li Xu in the end.
They were different from Ji Yuanyuanâs family. Li Xu had just had a wedding, so they did not have much expectations for the engagement party.
However, their Qin family had not held a happy event for many years.
The last happy event was her father-in-lawâs 60th birthday. It had been several years.
However, Cheng Shuqin quickly got over it.
It didnât matter if the engagement banquet wasnât grand. Anyway, her daughter-in-law would soon reach the age of marriage.
When the time came, the two of them would register their marriage and hold a wedding.
At that time, the wedding would definitely be a grand one.
On the day of the engagement Banquet, Li Lei and Li Yong brought Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming over.
Only the four of them came to the Li family. Qin Xiaomin and Meng Xiaoning had to stay at home to take care of the children.
On the Zhang familyâs side, the brother and sister, Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao had brought the two elders over.
Li Miao and Gong Wenbai were in B City. Li Miao happened to have no class in the last period of the morning, so she could just come over.
The others were Yang Jingyi and her mother and Fang Xinyi and her mother.
There were also Ji Yuanyuanâs three roommates.
Including their family of five and Huang Weiwei, there were a total of twenty-four people.
Deng Juan and Hu Chunli followed Li Xu to B City.
Deng Juanâs family did not like to see her, and other than Fang Xinyi, she had no other relatives.
Naturally, it didnât matter where she went.
Although renting a house in B City was more expensive, it was closer to his daughter.
As for Hu Chunli, her situation was similar to Deng Juanâs. However, she had the money to buy a two-bedroom apartment in B City.
As for Qin Muchengâs relatives and friends numbered about twenty people, similar to Ji Yuanyuanâs.
In total, they could make five tables.
Before the banquet started, Qin Mucheng brought her to meet the guests.
Aunts, Uncles, Cousinsâ¦
They were all relatives that Ji Yuanyuan had never met before. They should not be very close to each other and she had never heard Qin Mucheng mention them before.
There were more than twenty strangers at once, so Ji Yuanyuan naturally could not recognize all of them.
She followed behind Qin Mucheng the entire time and greeted them politely with a fake smile.
Just as Qin Mucheng brought Ji Yuanyuan to identify the person, Cheng Shuqin brought a few men in suits and white gloves into the room.
The men were either carrying boxes or bags.
They quickly walked to the stage, and Cheng Shuqin instructed, âJust put them here, just like during the rehearsal.â
The men nodded at Cheng Shuqin in unison, âYes, Madam Qin.â
Cheng Shuqin nodded her head in satisfaction and walked to Ji Yuanyuanâs side, âMucheng brought you to meet our relatives, right? I was afraid you wouldnât be able to recognize all of them, so I didnât call too many people today. Donât feel wronged. When the two of you get married, weâll make it big.â
Cheng Shuqin felt that she had wronged Ji Yuanyuan, but Ji Yuanyuan felt that todayâs scene was already high-profile enough.
âAuntie, youâve already decorated it very well. Itâs been hard on you.â
Cheng Shuqin took Ji Yuanyuanâs hand, âItâs still the daughter who is more sensible.â
Not far away, Gao Qionghui pulled on the corner of Lin Nanâs clothes. Looking at the busy people on the stage, she could not help but sigh, âWow, those two boxes are full of money! How much money did such a big box contain? Can it reach a million?â
Lin Nan was also staring at the stage, but she was not staring at the money but at the men in suits who were putting money on the stage.
Each of these men was more handsome than the other.
âWhere did Ji Yuanyuanâs mother-in-law find so many handsome guys?â
