Chapter 1038 Chen Family

Chen Ziyu came over and said, "The dishes are washed. You can work here first while I divide the gifts you brought."

"You go ahead, I can do it here by myself."

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Ziyu patted Tan Yue on the shoulder, turned around and came to her mother, and said, "Mom, let's go out first. A Yue bought you a lot of things, come and take a look."

"I'd better go help Xiao Yue. He's cooking so much here alone, so there's no reason for us to go out." Mother Chen always felt guilty.

Tan Yue said: "Auntie, you go out with Ziyu, I can really do it alone."

Chen Ziyu comforted her and said, "It's okay, Mom, we'll come back after you finish reading."

Chen's mother reluctantly nodded: "Let's go, Lao Chen, let's follow my daughter to take a look."

Father Chen said "hmm".

The three people left the room and came to the living room.

The kitchen is also located on the first floor.

Chen Ziyu picked up a cosmetic and said, "This is specially bought for you by someone abroad. Do you like it?"

Mother Chen smiled happily: "I like it, how could I not like it!"

"And these are all bought for you." Chen Ziyu continued: "Dad, this is the tea you like to drink."

There was a small pile of things big and small.

Mother Chen said: "I know you are not short of money and you cannot spend it randomly. If you come again in the future, you must tell Xiaoyue not to buy so many things."

"I know, I know." Chen Ziyu said secretly: "He still feels that these things are a bit too little."

Chen's father said: "We appreciate your kindness. We will thank Xiao Yue later. It is his first time as a guest and he even cooked the food himself. Ziyu, just listen to your mother and don't buy so many things when you come back in the future."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Chen Xiang came down from upstairs.

"Your brother has brought gifts for you all, come here quickly."

"Do you still have mine?" Chen Xiang quickened his pace.

"This is for you." Chen Ziyu carried two bags, one for clothes and one for shoes.

Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Thank you, sister!"

"You don't need to thank me. I didn't buy these things for you. They are gifts specially chosen by your brother. If you want to thank him, just thank him."

Chen Xiang looked around and said, "Is Brother Yue still resting upstairs?"

"No, I'm preparing lunch in the kitchen."

Chen Xiang nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'll send the things up first, and I'll go to the kitchen to help right away."

Chen's mother said: "Tzuyu, go to the kitchen and see if there is anything we need."

"Okay." Chen Ziyu came to the kitchen with a smile.

"Have you finished dividing everything?"

Compared to the atmosphere outside, Tan Yue still liked cooking alone in the kitchen. It was the first time he met his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he really didn't know what to do while talking.

"My parents, and Chen Xiang, they all like the gifts you gave them."

"That's good." Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief. This time he had been worried that everyone would not like the gifts he got.

"Chen Xiang will be happy to come to the kitchen to help you soon."

Tan Yue glanced at the time and said happily: "There's no need to come over. It's better for me to stay here alone."

Chen Ziyu naturally understood what Tan Yue meant.

While the two people were talking, Chen Xiang's voice came from outside: "Brother Yue, is there anything I can do?"

"Go back to the house and rest, you are not needed here."

"Sister, I want to thank Brother Yue in person for the things you bought me." Chen Xiang said, "Brother Yue, thank you for the gifts you bought me. I like them all."

"As long as you like it!"

"Is there anything I can do here, I have to express my gratitude."

Tan Yue smiled and said, "No, no, you can go outside. Just leave the kitchen to me today."

Chen Ziyu said: "Well, you can bring all the prepared dishes to the living room later. Aunt Liu and the others are on holiday today, so I will leave this job to you."

"Promise to complete the task." Chen Xiang began to serve food to the living room.

At this time, Chen's father and mother also came over to help.

More than twenty minutes later, several people were filled with delicious dishes.

Tan Yue said: "I'm going to make this today. How do you like it? I hope my uncle and aunt can give me more guidance. If I don't do it well, I can improve it in the future."

Chen's father said: "The first thing that matters about food is its presentation. Just looking at these dishes made by Xiao Yue makes me appetite."

"Okay, Lao Chen, you've become a real person." Mother Chen interrupted: "Xiao Yue, ignore your uncle, grab your chopsticks and eat quickly."

"Okay."

Lunch time started in a relaxed atmosphere.

In any case, Chen's father and Chen's mother both work in the catering industry, and tasting food has always been a habit.

Chen's father said: "If Xiao Yue hadn't become this movie director, I would definitely hire him to our company. The dishes today are no less delicious than those made by the chefs, and are even more delicious than those made by some high-end chefs."

"Uncle, thank you very much. I just liked to cook some side dishes before." Tan Yue was very modest.

Mother Chen also praised: "Xiao Yue's cooking skills are indeed amazing."

Chen Ziyu said happily: "I say he is a chef who was delayed by the director."

"Xiao Yue is also great as a director."

A few people chatted and laughed and quickly ended the lunch.

"You go drink tea first, and I'll pack up." Mother Chen stood up and prepared to pack things.

Tan Yue said: "Auntie, let me do it, you go and have a rest."

Mother Chen refused very firmly this time: "No, Xiaoyue, go and have tea with your uncle, leave this to me."

The guests have already been asked to cook, and it would be really impolite to ask someone to clean up the dishes.

"I'll help my mother clean up, you go have tea." Chen Ziyu signaled with his eyes.

"Let's go, Xiaoyue, I heard that you also like to drink tea, try my tea and see how it tastes."

"Okay."

Tan Yue followed behind, and the two sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted.

Father Chen said: "I heard Ziyu said that you also like to drink tea."

"Yes, uncle." Tan Yue talked about the tea he liked to drink.

Father Chen usually likes to drink it, and the two chatted a lot together.

Not long after, Mother Chen, Chen Ziyu and Chen Xiang packed up and returned to the living room.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Ziyu sat next to Tan Yue.

Just now when he was packing up, he was still worried that the two of them would be awkward. Every time he secretly watched, he found that the two of them were chatting happily, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"I learned some knowledge about drinking tea from my uncle."

Father Chen began to rinse the teacup and said, "Zi Yu, try this tea and see how it tastes. You must have never tasted it before."

Tan Yue, who had already tasted it, said, "This tea tastes very good."

"Then I have to try it." Although Chen Zi Yu didn't like drinking tea very much, he had seen a lot of tea leaves. When the two of them talked about this, his curiosity was instantly aroused.

Father Chen poured a cup for everyone and sat together to chat.

Chen's mother asked, "Do your parents live in Jishui now?"

Tan Yue nodded and said, "They have lived there for more than 20 years. They don't know any neighbors in another place, and they don't want to move to other places."

"Yes! When I get older, I want to stay in my hometown." Chen's mother said, "When I was young, I wanted to run around all day, but now I want to stay at home."

Tan Yue said, "You don't have to work as hard as before. Pay more attention to your health. It's the best thing for us younger generations."

"We will retire after Ziyu and Xiangxiang's lifelong affairs are done. Now we can still work hard for a few years while we are in good health and have energy."

The strong woman's side was immediately revealed.

Tan Yue now understood that Chen Ziyu's personality was inherited from Chen's mother.

"Xiaoyue, have some tea." Chen's father picked up the cup and drank a sip of water.

"Thank you, uncle."

Several people took a sip of tea together.

Chen's mother put down the cup and said, "Xiaoyue, you and Ziyu are not young anymore, and you two have been dating for a long time. If you think it's appropriate for each other, you should consider getting married. Your uncle and I have no objection to your marriage."

Tan Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this. He had been thinking about how to bring up this matter, but he didn't expect Chen's mother to bring it up first.

After all, she is also a person who has experienced many ups and downs.

Tan Yue paused for less than a second and said, "Uncle and aunt, in fact, Ziyu and I came back during this vacation for the purpose of getting married. We have considered it, and it's time for our relationship to take a step forward."

Chen Ziyu looked at Tan Yue's profile and felt warm in his heart.

Father Chen said, "It's up to you to get married. If you think it's appropriate, get married quickly."

The big stone in Tan Yue's heart finally fell to the ground, and the whole person gradually relaxed and had a pleasant conversation with Chen's father and mother.

Chen Ziyu suddenly asked, "When are we going to get engaged?"

Father Chen said, "Well, your marriage is a big event for both families. No matter what, you should meet Xiaoyue's parents. Let's have a meal together and talk about engagement and marriage."

There are many small things between engagement and marriage, involving some etiquette. Father Chen thinks it's better to meet and talk.

"Okay, uncle."

Mother Chen suggested, "Why not put the engagement at the end of the year? Those are good days during the Chinese New Year. Ziyu, what do you think?"

Chen Ziyu thought for a moment, "Okay."

Father Chen said, "Your mother is just suggesting it to you. The specific date depends on your own arrangement."

Tan Yue said, "Auntie said the end of the year is good. I'll tell my family later."

Several people continued to chat while drinking tea.

After some discussion, the engagement time was initially set at the end of the year, and there could be adjustments if there were any things in the middle.

As for the betrothal gifts and various festival gifts, the two sides did not discuss it.

On the one hand, Chen's father and mother had a very good impression of Tan Yue and thought that their daughter had chosen the right person. They would be willing to do so even if there was no gift.

On the other hand, the Chen family was wealthy and didn't care about this aspect. As long as their daughter lived well, they would be satisfied.

Besides, for people like Tan Yue, the most important thing was character, and they were not short of money.

I don't know how long it had passed. Chen's father glanced at the time: "You continue to drink tea and chat, I'll go out for a while."

Chen Ziyu looked puzzled: "Dad, what are you going to do?"

Mother Chen responded: "The company is too busy, someone has to watch over there."

May Day is a golden week for tourism. The number of tourists can be said to have skyrocketed, and the catering industry will also be busy during this period.

"I'll go to the company to take a look, and you can do what you should do." Chen's father arranged: "Chen Xiang, you take your brother around."

"Don't worry, Dad."

Tan Yue said: "Uncle, be careful on the road."

Father Chen waved his hand, changed his shoes and went out. The driver had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Chen Ziyu said: "Mom, I will accompany you to go shopping later."

"No, you stay at home with Xiaoyue." Chen's mother said.

Tan Yue said on the side: "Auntie, let Ziyu accompany you to go shopping. It's okay for me to stay here."

Chen Xiang said: "I'm here. I'll accompany Brother Yue. You can go shopping."

"Let's go." Chen Ziyu came to his mother.

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes." Chen's mother still wanted to go in her heart.

Chen Ziyu wished that she would only come back during the Chinese New Year all year round. Even if she came back, she was too busy to have time.

Now that she has a daughter to accompany her to go shopping, she certainly wants to go.

"I'll go up with you and give you some advice." Chen Ziyu said.

The smile on Chen's mother's face was obvious, and the two went upstairs to change clothes.

"Brother Yue, I'll take you to visit our house first."

"Okay." Tan Yue did not refuse. He also wanted to see what kind of structure this villa with a single courtyard and a single house is like.

The two first came to the leisure area on the underground first floor.

Chen Xiang introduced: "There are billiard rooms and sound rooms here."

The two walked and talked. There was nothing to do, so they walked very slowly.

There are also fitness areas and movie viewing rooms on the underground first floor.

After walking around the underground first floor, the two came to the first floor and met Chen's mother and Chen Ziyu who were about to go out.

Chen's mother said: "Xiangxiang, take your brother around. We will go out first and come back soon."

"You can go shopping outside without worry, and leave the house to me."

"Xiao Yue, let's go."

"Have fun, auntie." Tan Yue said: "Ziyu, drive slowly on the road and pay attention to safety."

Chen Ziyu said "um": "You stay at home, we're leaving."

After Chen's mother and Chen Ziyu left, only Tan Yue and Chen Xiang were left at home.

"Let's continue to look around." Chen Xiang continued to lead the way and introduce the various areas of the house.

"There are some wine collections in there." As he spoke, Chen Xiang opened the door of the room.

Because the storage temperature of wine cannot be too high, the whole room is very cool.

"So much!" Tan Yue sighed.

There are wine cabinets on all four walls, filled with wine.

"Do you want to drink some tonight?" Chen Xiang asked tentatively.

"Sure." Tan Yue thought it was good to drink some wine.

"Okay." Chen Xiang stopped in front of a wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of wine and said, "This is a 1982 Lafite given by a friend. Let's drink it tonight."
