Entertainment from Divorce

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, 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, Old Chen, let's follow my daughter to have 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 accept your kindness. Thank you Xiaoyue properly later. It's your first time as a guest and he even cooks in person. 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 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 said with a smile: "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."

"nice! You love 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 these 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 20 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 the 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 very interested in being 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 rest."

Mother Chen refused very firmly this time: "No, Xiao Yue, go drink tea with your uncle, and leave this place to me."

The guests have already been asked to cook. It would be rude to ask others to clean up the dishes.

"I'll help my mother clean up. You can go drink tea." Chen Ziyu gestured with his eyes.

"Let's go, Xiao Yue. I heard that you also like to drink tea. How does my tea taste?"

"it is good."

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

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

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

Chen's father usually likes to drink, and the two of them talk a lot together.

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

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

When he was packing his things just now, he was still worried that the two of them would get into an awkward situation. Every time he took a peek, he would find that the two of them were chatting happily, and he would inevitably feel a little curious.

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

Father Chen began to rinse the tea cup and said, "Tzuyu, try how this tea tastes. You must have never drank it before."

Tan Yue, who had already tasted it, said: "The taste of this tea is very good." "Then I have to try it." Although Chen Ziyu doesn't like drinking tea, he has seen a lot of tea. When two people said this, he was curious. My heart was instantly drawn.

Father Chen poured everyone a drink and sat together to chat.

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

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

"Yes! When I get older, I want to stay in my hometown." Mother Chen said: "When I was young, I still wanted to run outside all day long, 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 taking care of your body. It is the best thing for us juniors."

"We will retire after Tzuyu and Xiangxiang have finished their life-long affairs. Now while we are in good health and have energy, we can still work hard for a few years."

The strong female side was immediately revealed.

Tan Yue now understands that Chen Ziyu's character was inherited from Chen's mother.

"Xiao Yue, drink tea." Father Chen picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"Thank you uncle."

Several people took a sip of tea together.

Mother Chen put down her 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 suitable for each other, you can consider getting married. Your uncle and I will treat your relationship well." I don’t have any objections to the marriage.”

Tan Yue was slightly startled when he heard this. He had been thinking about how to mention this matter, but he did not expect that Chen's mother would bring it up first.

After all, he is also a person who has experienced great storms.

Tan Yue paused for less than a second and said: "Uncle and aunt, actually Ziyu and I came back during this vacation to get married. We have already considered it, and it is time for our relationship to move forward. A step has been taken.”

Chen Ziyu looked at Tan Yue's side face, feeling warm in his heart.

Chen's father said: "It's up to you to get married. If you think it's appropriate, get married as soon as possible."

The big stone in Tan Yue's heart finally fell to the ground, and he gradually relaxed, and started talking happily with Chen's father and mother.

Chen Ziyu suddenly asked: "When will we get engaged?"

Father Chen said: "In this case, your marriage is a major event for both families. No matter what, you should meet Xiao Yue's parents and find a time for us to have a meal together and talk about the engagement and marriage."

There are many little things between engagement and marriage that involve some etiquette. Father Chen thought it would be better to meet and talk about it.

"Okay, uncle."

Chen's mother suggested: "It's better to put the engagement date at the end of the year. Those days during the Chinese New Year will be good days. Tzuyu, what do you think?"

Chen Ziyu thought for a moment: "Okay."

Father Chen said: "Your mother is just a suggestion to you. The specific dates still depend on your own arrangements."

Tan Yue said: "Auntie said that the end of the year is very good. I will tell my family later."

Several people continued chatting while drinking tea.

After some discussion, the engagement date was tentatively set at the end of the year. If anything can be adjusted in the meantime, the engagement date was initially set.

As for the bride price and various festive rituals, the two parties did not discuss it.

On the one hand, Chen's father and Chen's mother had a very good impression of Tan Yue. They believed that their daughter had chosen the right person, and they were willing to do so even without any gift.

On the other hand, the Chen family has a big business, and they don't care about this aspect. As long as their daughter lives well, they are content.

Besides, for people like Tan Yue, the most important thing is their character, and they are not short of money.

Not sure how much time had passed, Father Chen glanced at the time: "You continue drinking tea and chatting, I'll go out for a while."

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

Chen's mother responded: "The company is too busy, and someone needs to be there to keep an eye on it."

May Day is a golden week for tourism. The number of tourists can be said to increase dramatically, and restaurants will also become busy during this time.

"I'm going to the company to have a look. You can do whatever you need to do." Chen's father arranged: "Chen Xiang, you take your brother for a walk around."

"Don't worry, Dad."

Tan Yue said: "Uncle, please pay attention to safety on the road."

Father Chen waved, put on his shoes and went out. The driver was already waiting at the door.

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

"No, you can stay at home with Xiao Yue." Mother Chen said.

Tan Yue said from the side: "Auntie, let Ziyu go shopping with you. I have no problem staying here."

Chen Xiang said: "You still have me, I'll accompany Brother Yue, you can go shopping."

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

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes." Mother Chen still wanted to go in her heart.

Chen Ziyu wishes he could only come back during the Chinese New Year all year long. Even if he comes back, he is too busy to have time.

Now that she has the opportunity to go shopping with her daughter, of course she wants to go.

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

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

"Brother Yue, let me take you to visit our home first."

"Okay." Tan Yue did not refuse. He also wanted to see what kind of structure this single-family villa was.

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

Chen Xiang introduced: "There is a billiards room and a sound room here."

The two of them were walking and chatting. They had nothing to do and walked very slowly.

There is also a fitness area and a viewing room on the first floor.

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

Mother Chen explained: "Xiangxiang, take your brother for a walk around. We will go out first and be back soon."

"Don't worry, you can go shopping outside and leave the house to me."

"Xiao Yue, let's go."

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

Chen Ziyu said "Yeah": "You guys should stay at home, we're leaving."

After Chen's mother and Chen Ziyu left, there were only two people in the family, Tan Yue and Chen Xiang.

"Let's continue taking a look." Chen Xiang continued to lead the way and introduce various areas of the home.

"There are some wines in the collection." As he spoke, Chen Xiang opened the door to the room.

Because wine cannot be stored at too high a temperature, the entire room is very cool.

"So many!" Tan Yue exclaimed.

Wine cabinets were built on all four walls and filled with wine.

"Would you like some drinks tonight?" Chen Xiang asked tentatively.

"Okay." Tan Yue thought it would be 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 the 82 Lafite given by a friend. Let's drink it tonight." (End of Chapter)
