Li Jingwen's procedures were finally completed. The excuse he found was to inspect the three-defense project and to express condolences to the garrison in the central region, so he had a long journey and would not come to Jiangcheng directly. He also had to go around the surrounding provinces first, and he had to do it. Moreover, he did want to see the military situation in the central region. For a long time, the military in the coastal and border areas had been very close to training and simulation combat, but the central region had been peaceful for a long time, and the report was always not as accurate as seeing with his own eyes.

His Majesty the Emperor had to go around again and again, but there was no need for Niang Wan. Her excuse was to look at relatives, and her final destination was in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was just passing by Jiangcheng. It seemed that it was not a special thing for outsiders to come. However, in the eyes of those who are familiar with the inside story, the so-called visiting relatives is to cover up, and going to Jiangcheng to see his daughter is the main business.

However, before the two of them arrived in Jiangcheng, Liu Jianguo and Wu Wenli came first. The old couple had no choice but to do anything. Now that the other party’s parents asked to meet, they could not pretend to be okay. Moreover, others have been courteous, and they can’t ask them to go directly to western Hubei to find you. Liu Jianguo thought that the Liu family did not have the blessing.

It would be fine if Liu Jinpeng just simply fell in love with Li Xiwen, but the problem is that this bastard boy is dominating the other girls. When Liu Jianguo thinks of this, he feels like a headache. How can he have the attitude to meet other parents? Although Wu Wenli always protects her son, she doesn't speak much now. She also understands that this is a bit difficult, mainly because her son is not so righteous.

However, Liu Jinpeng didn't think so. After he got the news that his parents were coming, he had already informed several girls. This time it would definitely be difficult for the old couple to live in the villa, but there were villas for rent or sale nearby. He planned to rent a villa for his parents to live in a few days. When Li Jingwen and his wife left, they would be free. If they wanted to play, they could stay for a few more days. If they didn't want to play, they could go back.

After learning about the residence of the villa, Zhang Yu suggested: "It is okay to let his uncle and aunt live there, but in order to avoid trouble with cooking, it is better to come and eat together." Because this is the villa area, there are definitely no snack bars in the community. The environment is very important, otherwise it is not worth the money, right?

There is a restaurant in the villa area, but that restaurant is really bad. It doesn’t matter if the food is not delicious, but the price is still expensive. If a bottle of drinks sold for 3 yuan outside, it dares to cost 10 yuan. People who live here don’t care much about this. The problem is that no one wants to be a fool, right? He can’t buy satisfactory service after spending a lot of money, so I have to support you if I eat, you are not my father.

It is for this reason that the restaurant has been in a bleak operation and can occasionally kill one or two urgently needed customers. Although the food is not delicious, it is close to the place and can deliver the food to the door. You can even agree to any requests that are somewhat unsubstantiable. For example, customers want to order national first-class protected animals to eat, and as long as the price is appropriate, they may be delivered to you.

Since that's the case, Zhang Yu naturally didn't want his uncle and aunt to go to that restaurant. And according to her observation, his aunt is relatively frugal. He probably would buy vegetables and cook by himself. Since that's the case, it would be better to eat together in the villa, so as to avoid having to open fire and let outsiders gossip.

After she said this, several people here understood what it meant. Liu Mei really had no good impression of that restaurant. She went to eat it once when she first moved in. After she came back, she swears that she would never go there again without saying a word. Li Xiwen has high requirements for the quality of life. When she lived in Meiyuan Villa, she was not far from here. I heard that the restaurant here was unpalatable, so of course she would not go to the pain now.

However, since my uncle and aunt were coming to have dinner, the preparation of ingredients at home had to be increased. In the past, when there were only seven people in the family, the large refrigerator was no longer enough. Later, Wu Xinrui and Huo Zijia often came to eat for free, and then Meiling and Meihua, two edible guys, joined in. As a last resort, Liu Jinpeng bought a large fresh-keeping cabinet, which was specially used to store ingredients such as vegetables and meat.

This kind of thing is always available at home, so as not to buy it suddenly if a customer comes. The hired chef only cares about cooking and buying ingredients. As the weather gradually gets hotter, the consumption of cold drinks and other things at home gradually increases. Although there are restrictions on maintaining the figure, several girls do not eat cold drinks very much, but this kind of sweets is really a great temptation for those who like it.

Therefore, Liu Jinpeng plans to add another freezer, so that some things that are not suitable for placement in the preservation cabinet, such as some meat, seafood, etc., can be placed in the freezer. The large refrigerator is now freed up to serve various foods and beverages. The things Zhang Yu is now studying are becoming more and more complicated. The French egg tarts roasted yesterday were very popular, and Meiling and Meihua also liked the sour and sweet drinks. Zhang Yu said he should prepare more.

After discussing some small matters, Liu Jinpeng talked about his arrangements. He originally planned to hold a barbecue party in the garden tonight, but today the Liu family is coming, so there is probably no time to do anything, so he can only postpone it later. Li Xiwen doesn't like bbq as much as Liu Mei, but she doesn't dislike this, so she suggested: "Let's do this, when my family comes, everyone can hold this party together."

Ye Ling and Zhang Yu didn't know the depth and nodded in agreement, but Liu Mei raised an objection and said: "No, there are regulations for important national leaders to attend events. Even if this is a family dinner, I think your parents may not attend such an unsovereign event as bbq."

Li Xiwen didn't say anything, Ye Ling expressed her opinion: "Then why did I see the US president on TV also participating in outdoor barbecue?"

Liu Mei has reason to despise Ye Ling: "I said Ye Zi, you are a Chinese American at least, why don't you even see through the essence of the United States? First of all, the president's participation in bbq is called a show, which is to show his people-friendly side; secondly, there is this tradition in the United States, and the barbecue party is a unique way of communication, which is more easy-going and popular. For the high-ranking president, this is done to show the voters. I don't think the president himself likes bbq very much."

Li Xiwen also heard Liu Mei call her boss for the first time, and she felt a little ridiculous, but she still said seriously: "My parents are very easy-going at home and should not refuse. I will ask privately first, if they do not participate, we will do it ourselves."

Liu Mei curled her lips secretly. Of course, your parents are easy-going to their children, and they are not easy-going to them. Most of them pretending to be majestic and have problems. For example, the old man in Liu Mei's family seems to be a bit pretentious in Liu Mei's eyes. You said you are the chairman of the board and have a stern face in the company. No one said anything about you, but you still have the poker face at home, who will give you a look? No wonder Liu Mei didn't want to go home in the end. No matter who comes home, he will see his father with a stern face and get scolded as soon as he gets home, he will definitely not want to go back.

Ye Ling has no such trouble. She had memories of her parents who died before she could remember. Her uncle treated her like her own, so she never felt that she lacked care. But now, her uncle is gone and the burden is handed over to Liu Jinpeng. Ye Ling is a little regretful that she does not enjoy this care alone, and she is very satisfied with everything else.

Zhang Yu has no good memories of his family. She is now dedicated to maintaining this small family, so she doesn't care much about this: "It's better not to participate. I think if the elders are present, everyone may be a little unwilling to let go." This is the truth. The elders who are not very familiar, and no matter how fussy people like to make trouble, they can't make trouble.

Li Xiwen was a little disappointed, thinking that I wasted my thoughts, but what Liu Mei and Zhang Yu said were the truth, and she couldn't refute them at all. Even if she was unhappy, she could only forget it. Seeing that the time was almost over, Liu Jinpeng reminded him: "It's almost time, who will pick me up?"

The only family members present were Meiling and Meihua, and Zhang Yu had to pick them up after school, so she first said: "I won't go, I have to pick up the children." She felt very sorry for her words. This was a great opportunity to perform in front of her parents-in-law, but she could not leave her two children alone.

Liu Mei also said: "I won't go anymore. I'll go and see how the rented villa is there. Finally, check it out." She was very smart. She knew that the future was long, so it was useless to be anxious to show off. Anyway, she loved Liu Jinpeng, and loved the house and the Wu, so she was kind to his parents. What else does it have to do with her. Doing everything silently behind the scenes will make her look at by her lover. She can see this very smartly.

Ye Ling looked left and right and found that her two alliances had given up. She didn't understand the joints, but this did not prevent her from making a choice: "Then I won't go, I'll go and check it out with Liu Liu."

Liu Jinpeng was really amused and crying. At first, everyone rushed to go, but now they couldn't push them. What's this happening? Li Xiwen understood the thoughts of the sisters. She couldn't say anything, but just sighed. Everyone was so gentle, respectful, frugal, and even if she wanted to be vicious, she couldn't do anything. Besides, there was a core person here who didn't say anything. Speaking of which, the girls could not look at her Li Xiwen's wink, but because of the idea of ​​taking care of Liu Jinpeng.

Since that was the case, Liu Jinpeng made the final decision. Liu Mei and Ye Ling went to check the small villa rented, Eva served as a companion, and then Zhang Yu counted the ingredients at home and picked up the two sisters at the time. He took Li Xiwen and Lin Lin to the train station to pick up the train. He said it was a pickup, but in fact it was nothing, but Liu Jinpeng was ready to be nagged by his parents. He knew that this incident really made them embarrassed.
