Wear the book and be reborn as a group favorite for 50 people

"Hello." Jiang Wenbai picked up the phone.

The call was from Father Jiang, "Xiao Bai, I figured there should be someone at home at this time. Is your mother back?"

"Not yet, Dad, aren't you coming back for dinner tonight?"

Dad called back at this time, and he must have told his family that he wasn't coming back.

"Yes, I can't go back today. There's something else going on in the group. Tell your mother and you two can eat together tonight. Your mother didn't go back at this time. She probably has something to do at the hospital. Otherwise, you can make something yourself. Or go to your Uncle Tang's house for dinner." Father Jiang said on the other end.

"Dad, Uncle Tang originally planned to let our family of three go to his house for dinner. Tang Xin also prepared a lot of delicious food."

"Oh, that's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it. The group has been busy these two days, so I want to say sorry to you, Uncle Tang."

Jiang's father felt a little regretful when he heard what Jiang Wenbai said.

"By the way, ask your mother. If she is busy, you can go directly to your Uncle Tang's house for dinner. Their hospital get off work hours are rarely on time." Jiang's father continued to explain.

"Okay, I understand, Dad. You don't have to worry about me."

Jiang Wenbai was a little funny. His parents treated him like a child when he came back this time.

"Well, okay, it's good that you know. Okay, let's not talk anymore and hang up." Jiang's father had something to do, so he hung up the phone first.

"Why isn't Uncle Jiang coming back?" Zhan Bo asked after hearing Jiang Wenbai's words.

"Well, yes, the group is busy with something."

"Then my dad should be disappointed. A table full of delicious food is waiting for Uncle Jiang."

Zhan Bo smiled, thinking of his father's disappointed expression. He was being unfilial and wanted to laugh.

"What about auntie? Why don't you call her hospital and ask?" Zhan Bo asked.

Just as he was talking, there was a sound from the courtyard door, "Xiao Bai, come out quickly and see what mom bought you."

Before anyone entered the house, they heard Mother Jiang's voice outside the courtyard.

"Auntie, what delicious food did you buy for Xiaobai? Is it for me?" Zhan Bo smiled and greeted him.

"Hey, Zhan Bo is here too. This is not food." Mother Jiang smiled when she saw Zhan Bo.

Jiang Wenbai stepped forward and took the bicycle from his mother's hand, pushing it aside. Jiang's mother took the leather bag off the handlebar, along with a bag.

"Mom, what did you buy?" Jiang Wenbai asked. Brother Zhan Bo was not an outsider anyway.

"It's for you and Tang Xin." Mother Jiang held the bag mysteriously and said.

"What are you preparing for us?"

Jiang Wenbo was curious. He knew that his family had been preparing for his and Tang Xin's engagement these days, but didn't his grandparents say that they were almost ready?

"Hey, auntie, don't say it yet. If I know about it, I won't be able to help telling the sugar baby. Do you want to give her a surprise?"

Just as Mother Jiang was about to speak, Zhan Bo quickly covered his ears and said funny.

"This kid, okay, let's not talk about it for now. You are right. You have to leave some surprises for the sugar baby."

Mother Jiang said with a smile, thinking about it, this is a gift she specially prepared for the two of them, and we will wait until the day of engagement.

Seeing that his mother stopped talking, Jiang Wenbai shrugged and didn't ask any more questions. He would know it next week anyway, and his curiosity was not that strong. Thinking about it, the two of them would get engaged next week and become a real unmarried couple. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

"Okay, Auntie, please put your things away quickly. My mother asked me to come over and treat you to dinner at home. The food at home is ready."

Zhan Bo looked at Jiang Wenbai's happy look which was a bit annoying and even more envious.

"Ah, okay, wait a minute, Auntie, put the things away." After hearing what Zhan Bo said, Mother Jiang quickly went into the house and put down her bags.

"Xiao Bai, where's your dad? Are you coming back for dinner tonight?" After putting her bags in her pocket, Mother Jiang walked out and then she remembered to ask her father about his situation.

"My dad just called. Just before you came back, he said he wouldn't come back for dinner if something happened in the group." Jiang Wenbai replied.

"Well, okay, he won't have any luck today. Come on, let's go to your Aunt Chen's house for dinner."

Mother Jiang took the lead, Jiang Wenbai locked the courtyard door behind her, and the three of them set off to the Tang family.

Passing by the grocery store, Zhan Bo still remembered going in and buying a few bottles of beer. Jiang's mother also went in and bought two bottles of canned food and some pastries. Although she was going to buy some food, it was not good for two adults in her family to go empty-handed.

When they arrived at Tang's house, the food was laid out and they were waiting for their return.

"Xiaoye is here, come on, come and sit down, the meal is ready." Auntie greeted Jiang's mother happily when she saw her.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I was delayed by something after get off work, so I kept you waiting." Mother Jiang looked at the food on the table and said apologetically.

"Not too late, not too late, just put it on the table and you're here. The time is just right."

"Xiaoye, where is your old Jiang? Why aren't you here?" Father Tang looked behind Jiang's mother, but did not see Jiang's father.

"My dad has something going on in the group and won't be able to come back today. When I got home, I just received a call from my dad. He also specifically told me to say sorry to you and to have a drink with you next time." Jiang Wenbai Explain on the side.

"Hey, work is important, work is important, it's okay, we live so close, there are plenty of opportunities."

Dad Tang is a little disappointed, but it doesn't matter. There will be more opportunities in the future anyway.

"Zhanbo, don't be in a hurry to eat. Go to your second uncle's house and see if your second uncle and his friends are at home. At this point, they probably haven't cooked yet. If your second uncle's house hasn't cooked, ask them to come with you."

Seeing that Tang's father was a little disappointed, Tang's mother smiled helplessly, and then instructed her son to go to the second uncle's house to invite the second uncle over and have a drink with Tang's father.

"Okay, I'll go now, you guys wait a moment." Zhan Bo reached out and took a piece of meat from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, then pushed the car out.

"How can I keep this child for him?" Tang's mother looked at Zhan Bo and shook her head.

While waiting for their second uncle, Mother Jiang and Mother Tang talked about the engagement between Tang Xin and Jiang Wenbai. According to custom, the engagement banquet must be held at the bride’s house. The engagement banquet of the first cousin and the first cousin’s sister-in-law was held at the first cousin’s house. Home run.

After family discussions and various considerations, it was finally decided to hold Tang Xin and Jiang Wenbai's engagement banquet at the Tang family's old residence, a villa in the military compound.

"Actually, my idea is to set up a few tables in the hotel. You see how good the Peking Hotel is and the quality is adequate. However, our old man's situation is special and it is really inconvenient."

Tang's mother explained to Jiang's mother the reason why the engagement banquet was held in the courtyard. In fact, Tang's mother still felt that it would be more classy to hold it in a big hotel. She was worried that Jiang's mother had other ideas, so she specifically explained to her.

"I understand, not to mention your old man, my old man's status is not suitable for doing it in a hotel, let alone Grandpa Tang Xin."

Mother Jiang held Tang's mother's hand and comforted her. If nothing else, Tang Xin's uncle, as the factory director of Shengshi Fanghua, created a lot of foreign exchange for the country every year. He was also a figure who often appeared in newspapers. He was indeed too It's no longer convenient.

"Actually, this is good. All our relatives and friends are nearby, and it's convenient to go to the compound." Mother Jiang understood very well.

Mother Tang thanked Mother Jiang for her understanding, patted her hand and said nothing more. Then the two of them talked about how many people they would entertain, how many tables they would prepare, and whether the Jiang family was particular about anything. The conversation was so lively that my aunt couldn't help but join in. She didn't stop talking until the second uncle's family arrived.

Tang Xin and Jiang Wenbai were only listening in. Although the conversation was about them, they had no right to speak.

However, Tang Xin didn't have any requirements for engagement and marriage in this era. It was pretty much the same anyway, as long as the person was the right person.

She couldn't help but look at Jiang Wenbai, and found that Jiang Wenbai was also looking at her, with unmistakable affection in his eyes.
