Chapter 119: A Close Relationship Will Be Better
Xu Wenjing's wish was not fulfilled.
Jiang Ning is not someone who won't refuse others.
We had lunch at Uncle Feng Yu's house and were going to Aunt Feng Yu's house in the afternoon, so we didn't drink any alcohol. After all, getting drunk was not polite. Uncle Feng Yu didn't force us, but poured everyone a glass of wine and didn't let them drink more.
When we arrived at Aunt Feng Yu's house, the situation was similar.
During the friendly exchange, Zhang Yulan added: "Although we arranged everything, we are not the mother's family after all, and cannot represent the father-in-law and mother-in-law. It is still necessary for the aunt to come forward. If the aunt has time, try to go there earlier and help with the arrangements for the marriage. Feng Xue doesn't understand many things, and she can't worry about it alone."
Aunt Feng Yu nodded and said, "This is as it should be. Her uncle and I have already discussed it. Our two families will go there on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. Even if we go, we will have to trouble my mother-in-law..."
Zhang Yulan said: "It's no trouble, no trouble..."
After agreeing on everything and having dinner, everyone returned to Bei'an.
On the way back to Bei'an, Jiang Ning realized something new.
Marriage is not just a matter between him and Feng Yu, but a matter between two big families. From the Feng family to Jiang Ning, from her parents' family to her husband's family, this is a process with many things involved that have to be taken care of by her parents.
Feng Yu's parents died early, so many procedures have been simplified.
But even if we simplify it, there is still a lot to do.
There are many things Feng Xue doesn't understand and can't handle.
What will happen if everything is handled by the husband’s family?
Others will ask: Is there no one in your mother’s family? Without parents, there are still aunts and uncles.
Neither the aunt nor the uncle showed up, isn't that stinky?
Jiang Ning felt that he had learned something, and it was really necessary for Feng Yu's aunt and uncle to go there earlier to take care of things.
Return to Bei'an.
Feng Yu suddenly asked him: "Mr. Jiang, do you need to find a best man?"
Jiang Ning asked, "Why are you looking for a best man?"
Feng Yu said, "What do you think? There are so many things to do on your wedding day. If someone hands you something, you can't just throw it away, someone has to take it. If you need to get something temporarily, do you still run by yourself? Someone has to run errands for you!"
Jiang Ning asked, "Do you also need to find a bridesmaid?"
Feng Yu nodded and said, "I didn't want to find one at first, but my aunt said that it would be best if I had someone to run errands and get things with me on the wedding day. My cousin from my uncle's family is on vacation now, so I'll let her be my bridesmaid. So I think you should also find a best man?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Then it's Zhang Yulong."
Feng Yu couldn't help but ask, "A best man has to be smart. Are you sure you want Zhang Yulong to be your best man?"
Jiang Ning said indifferently, "It's just running errands to get something. Although Zhang Yulong is not that smart, he can handle such a small task. Let's choose him. Among the cousins, some are married or older than me, and Zhang Yulong is younger than me."
Feng Yu reminded him, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Cousin Wenjing has already started planning how to test you when she gets married, and the best man will be responsible for helping you solve your problems. Don't get angry on the spot if you can't pass the test!"
Jiang Ning said dissatisfiedly: "Am I such a clueless person?"
Feng Yu smiled and said, "Just keep it in mind."
Jiang Ning didn't take it seriously. He felt that no one could make things difficult for him.
but……
Speaking of my cousin, one thing comes to my mind.
Jiang Ning suddenly had an idea: "What do you think about introducing your cousin to Zhang Yulong?"
Feng Yu was a little confused: "Why did you think of this?"
Jiang Ning said, "Hasn't your uncle already asked someone to introduce a date to Zhang Yulong? You know the situation of my uncle's family. They are not bad. My aunt Wang Xia is a model daughter-in-law that everyone praises. Your cousin will not be wronged if she marries him."
Feng Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't even know if Wen Jing has a boyfriend, you think too much!"
Jiang Ning was very concerned about this matter and said, "Just ask. If she doesn't have a boyfriend, I can introduce her to one."
Feng Yu said speechlessly: "What will happen then? If I really introduce Wen Jing to Zhang Yulong, will she call me sister or follow Zhang Yulong and call me sister-in-law?"
"This……"
Jiang Ning was stunned. This was indeed a problem.
Feng Yu added: "Besides, if the introduction is good, it's fine. If the introduction is not good, it will be bad for both parties. My aunt will also blame me. Even if your aunt doesn't say it, what will she think in her heart?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Your consideration makes sense. Let's talk about this later!"
After deciding on the best man, he called Zhang Yulong to inform him.
Then he transferred three thousand yuan to him and asked him to buy clothes.
Zhang Yulong didn't, and said, "Brother, I have money."
Jiang Ning said, "You have the money, it's yours. If I ask you to be my best man, I have to buy you some clothes, so take it quickly."
Zhang Yulong was embarrassed to accept it, so he called his parents to ask.
Only then did I accept the money.
On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, Aunt Feng Yu had a phone call with Uncle.
We discussed going to Bei'an the day after tomorrow.
The two families were not originally relatives, but they were connected because of their common relatives. Also because of Feng Yu's marriage, they had to call each other frequently to discuss various details. This time was different from the engagement time, and the whole family had to go.
You also need to bring a lot of things.
Although his parents died early, it does not mean that Feng Yu has no family from his mother's side.
From the perspective of the parents' generation, aunts and uncles are the closest relatives. When a niece gets married, even if they are not her biological parents and cannot buy a generous dowry for her, they still cannot do without any preparation. Aunt Feng Yu and her aunt still prepared a lot of things.
For example, embroidered pillows, mandarin duck quilts and so on.
There are also various pots, dishes, bowls and chopsticks.
These dowry items represent the love of my aunt and uncle.
The more things you have, the more thoughtful you are.
What would my in-laws think if I went there empty-handed?
This aunt and uncle are not good!
Can Feng Yu still save face?
Not to mention that her in-laws will laugh at her, I'm afraid Feng Yu won't even recognize her aunt and uncle after getting married.
In order to prepare dowry for their niece, the aunt and uncle had put a lot of thought into it. It couldn't be less, after all, the gifts Jiang Ning brought were very heavy.
Finally, each family prepared two large red leather books and several large bundles.
I am worried that there is not enough space in the car.
We are discussing whether to hire another car to take it over.
Feng Yu called her aunt and said, "Aunt, Jiang Ning has arranged a car to pick you up the day after tomorrow!"
My aunt was delighted when she heard this, but she still said, "That's too much trouble. We can just go there by ourselves."
Feng Yu said: "It's not a problem. Jiang Ning has already arranged a car."
My aunt said, "Okay, we have a lot of stuff and we're worried that the car won't have enough space."
Feng Yu smiled and said, "My mother-in-law thought of it. She said that you might have prepared a lot of things and it would be inconvenient. She asked Jiang Ning to arrange a bigger car to pick you up. Uncle Jiang Ning will pick you up the day after tomorrow morning."
My aunt agreed and chatted for a few sentences before hanging up.
Then he called Uncle Feng Yu and informed him.
No need to worry now.
There is a car to pick you up, so you don’t have to drive yourself.
It would be inconvenient if I didn't have a car to use.
It was the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning.
At 7 o'clock on time, the driver drove the Coaster to the downstairs of Jiang Ning's uncle's community.
Not long after, Zhang Yuedong and Wang Xia came down.
It's not daybreak yet; the winter nights are too long.
After getting in the car, they headed straight for Nanazawa.
We arrived at Qi Ze at around 7:40, when it was just getting light.
When we arrived at Uncle Feng Yu’s neighborhood, it was exactly eight o’clock.
The sky was completely bright.
I called in advance and knew that a car would come to pick me up.
Uncle Feng Yu and his family also got up early, had breakfast, and waited at home.
Xu Wenjing had been leaning on the balcony window of the living room, watching. When she saw the Coaster passing the corner of Building No. 3, she immediately shouted, "Here it comes. I saw the car. It has passed the corner of Building No. 3."
Xu Changqing had already dressed up, and upon hearing this he immediately got up and went downstairs.
As soon as I got downstairs, the Coaster drove over.
After the car stopped, Zhang Yuedong and Wang Xia got out.
The two uncles had met each other before and were not strangers, so they shook hands and greeted each other.
Xu Changqing said: "It's too much trouble for you."
Zhang Yuedong smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. We are all uncles. Even if it's troublesome for you to deal with your nephew's affairs, it's only natural. After all, my second sister's family has a new member, which has caused you a lot of trouble."
Xu Changqing also smiled and said, "It's reasonable to trouble my niece."
After talking for a few words downstairs, I invited the person upstairs.
Xu Wenjing also came over to greet them.
She is not beautiful, but she is definitely not ugly.
She has a nice and pretty figure.
Zhang Yuedong responded with a smile. He had been asking people to introduce blind dates to his son recently. When he saw Xu Wenjing, he immediately thought that this girl's age was quite suitable for his son, but he wondered if she had a girlfriend and what her personality was like.
If we can strengthen the relationship, it will become a good story.
Sat down, drank some tea and talked a few words.
It took less than three minutes before he got up and went downstairs.
Xu Changqing prepared a lot of things and couldn't take them all in one trip.
Zhang Yuedong and Wang Xia also helped to carry it, but he was not allowed to go up the second time. Xu Changqing and his son and daughter made another trip to take it all down. The Coaster was a big car, so they put all the things in the back seat, and there weren't many people anyway.
Then we got in the car and went to Aunt Feng Yu's house.
I went upstairs and sat for two or three minutes, helping to move things into the car.
Returned to Bei'an.
When we arrived in Bei’an, we went to Jixiang Community first.
Helping to carry things upstairs, it was another busy period.
Feng Yu opened the door of 301 and asked her aunt, uncle, and mother to take a look. She was busy arranging accommodation: "Aunt, aunt, you stay here. Uncle and uncle, cousin, and Wen Jing, you go to the hotel. Jiang Ning has arranged a room for you in the hotel and also arranged a car for you. It will be convenient for you to come here."
Her uncle said, "It's too much trouble for our relatives. This house can accommodate our two families. Your aunt and I can live in one room, your uncle and aunt can live in one room, your brother and Wencheng can live in one room, and Wenjing can live in your room."
Everyone else nodded in agreement, there was really no need to go to the hotel.
This house is big and quite spacious.
And it's right across the door, very convenient.
It’s okay to sleep on the sofa or even on the floor for a few days.
Only Jiang Ning was rich enough to buy the house opposite.
If the conditions were not met, it would not be so convenient to live somewhere else.
Feng Yu said, "Jiang Ning has arranged the rooms for you. We have to go to the hotel for lunch anyway. You can go over and take a look. We can decide whether to stay or not. There is also a car arranged for you. Jiang Ning said that he will not arrange a driver for you. He is afraid that you will be embarrassed to call a driver when you need a car. You can drive the car yourself. After lunch, you can drive the car over and park it downstairs!"
My aunt and uncle kept saying it was too much trouble, but I felt relieved in my heart.
My relatives are so thoughtful that there is nothing to fault with them.
