Qin Ye ntioned during the post-dinner chat back in the living room.
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are planning to throw us a celebration banquet, which they’ve scheduled for seven days from now. You should all co join us!"
Rong Yan couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she heard what he said.
She hurriedly added, "Although we did have a wedding back in the countryside, my parents still want to host another banquet here to invite our neighbors and friends over for a al. Not only that, but the banquet is also to celebrate our admission to university and our upcoming move, as we plan to relocate to the siheyuan that day. It’s triple happiness, so we might as well celebrate everything together."
Old Sir Qin understood and quickly responded, "Since it’s also a wedding banquet, it can’t just be done on one side. Look, we were also planning to celebrate for you both. Since your in-laws have ntioned it, let’s consider it like we’re throwing a wedding banquet too. We’ll have one here, and then we’ll proceed as if it’s a wedding."
Rong Yan quickly said, "Grandfather, there’s no need for so much trouble. I think it’s better for both families to do it together. We could have the banquet at our siheyuan; there’s plenty of space, and it would also serve as a housewarming party."
"Well, that’s a good idea." Old Sir Qin agreed without hesitation.
The rest of the Qin family also had no objections.
However, seven days was still a bit of a tight schedule; they needed to prepare.
Qin Ye and Rong Yan stayed until four in the afternoon because they had previously said they needed to return ho for dinner.
So they did not stay for supper.
It was Qin Zhen who drove them back ho.
When they left, they brought with them the return gifts from the Qin family, which were mostly nutritious edibles for Rong Wenming and his wife.
Qin Zhen dropped them off right at the doorstep of the Rong family’s ho.
Rong Yan, ever the polite one, said, "Why don’t you stay for dinner?"
Qin Zhen waved his hand, "I can’t this ti, I have to stop by the office in a bit, no ti. Next ti! Next ti I’ll definitely co to have a al with Aunt Rong; it’s been so long, I really miss it."
After saying this, he drove off.
Qin Ye carried the items into the courtyard.
Madam Rong saw them returning and hurried out, "What about Qin Zhen? Has he left? Why didn’t you ask him to stay for dinner?"
Rong Yan replied, "He was busy with work!"
When Madam Rong heard he had work, she didn’t press further; work was more important than dinner, after all.
Then her gaze fell on the items Qin Ye had brought in, and her eyes widened in shock.
"Did the Qin family send these? Why did they bring so much?"
Rong Yan said, "This is actually less than what they initially intended to prepare."
Qin Ye: "Mom, these are all for Dad and you to improve your health. Where should we put them?"
Madam Rong was a bit embarrassed, "...I really appreciate your grandfather and the others for this, just put them here in the main room for now!"
Hearing this, Qin Ye carried the items into the main room.
At this ti, Qin Yu and Qin i ca over to Rong Yan.
The two presented the thick red envelopes they had received from the Qin family, extending them towards Rong Yan.
Rong Yan glanced at the red envelopes in front of her and then at the expression on their faces, raising her eyebrows slightly:
"What, these are for ?"
The siblings nodded eagerly, "Yes, all for you."
Madam Rong was surprised by their gesture and her heart nearly lted from their kindness.
"Oh my, those are your own red envelopes, why are you giving them to her? Keep them for yourselves!"
How could there be such good and sweet children?
"For sister-in-law," the siblings insisted.
Rong Yan’s smile beca radiant, "Ah, it’s really hard to say no! What a sweet burden. Alright then, I’ll reluctantly accept your kindness."
She took the envelopes without any hesitation.
Madam Rong: ...
It seed her daughter had beco a bit shaless.
How could she so readily take her sister-in-law and brother-in-law’s red envelopes?
But seeing how happy the siblings were made her want to facepalm.
What was this called?
She rembered... it’s a case of willing hitter and willing receiver...
Alright then, if you’re all happy, so be it.
She decided to let it go.
She glared at her daughter with annoyance, "I’m off to cook, there are still two dishes to make then dinner will be ready."
Qin Yu hastily said, "Aunt, let help you."
Madam Rong quickly refused, "No need, your uncle is taking care of the fire, and it won’t take long. Just go and play!"
Although playful kids can sotis be a worry,
siblings like them were just too sensible, and it really made one’s heart ache.
Rong Yan lifted the red envelopes in her hand and said to the siblings, "Let’s go open these red envelopes and see what we’ve got today."
Madam Rong, who was about to enter the kitchen, nearly stumbled upon hearing her daughter’s words... Could she act a bit more like a big sister?
Why was she still acting like a child?
However, the two siblings were indeed curious.
What teenagers are not interested in money?
So they followed their sister-in-law to the main room where the three of them sat around the table.
"Let’s start with yours," Rong Yan handed back the two stacks of red envelopes. "Open them yourselves!"
Qin Yu and Qin i were excited.
They each began to open the packets before them...
"This one’s from grandfather..." After Qin Yu counted, his expression instantly beca excited, his voice trembling, "Two, two hundred yuan, grandfather gave two hundred yuan..."
He’d never held so much money in his life.
Controlling his excitent, he moved on to the next one.
"The second grandfather’s... also two hundred."
"A hundred each from big uncle and second uncle..."
