Chapter 400
In the name of love, the contract for the rest of life was made, and the engagement banquet came to an end amidst the blessings of relatives and friends.
Because the heavy news that Cao Xingkui threw out at the banquet triggered a new round of topic discussions, the time was postponed for more than three hours. By the time Chen Tianhong and Liu Yifei sent the guests away, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon. up.

The last person to leave was Cao Xingkui. Before getting into the car, he specifically told Chen Tianhong to spend more time with his relatives at home and not to rush to write a book. He also said that if Director Shi and the others pressed for the manuscript again, he would stop him.

Chen Tianhong fully agreed, he had planned to do so.

"By the way, Tianhong, President Zhu said something before coming. Among the works you have selected this time, only the recommendation of "Border Town" has not been agreed upon. They want to hear your suggestion."

There will not be any awards ceremony for the library collection activities, but the selected works will be vigorously promoted and published, and a recommendation will be written for each work.

The recommendation words for Chen Tianhong's other works have been agreed upon. For example, "The Three-Body Problem" was written by Cao Xingkui, and "Wolf Totem" was written by Director Shi.

However, the novel "Border Town" has too many favorite writers, and everyone insists on their own opinions. Even Zhu Yanlin's writing has not been fully recognized.

"Listen to my advice! I'll think about it."

Chen Tianhong couldn't help smiling, but he could understand.

"Border Town" has a unique position in the history of modern literature in the previous generation. It is classified as a traditional novel, but also belongs to aesthetic art. It has both lyric poetry and regional customs. The story is still pure love. Good at writing recommendations.

After thinking for a long time, Grandma Chen decided which one to "borrow" for a moment, scratched her head, her eyes casually fell on the engagement ring on her finger, and then looked at the ugly and charming Cao Xingkui beside her.

He secretly said nothing, why did he forget this classic quote from Shen Congwen.

"Teacher, if you think about it, he can bring it to us, the president."

"Oh?"

"You have traveled bridges in so many places, seen clouds so many times, drank so many kinds of wine, but only loved one person at the right age."

After Grandma Chen finished speaking, Lin Yuanli's eyes almost melted when she had anything to say.

"That's wrong, your sentence perfectly interpreted the story of "Border Town". You think we will quarrel again before we know it. Tianhong, he and Yifei are also at the right age now, which is enviable. You are gone. Hope to drink their wedding wine soon."

Chen Zhide looked at the two people who were perfectly matched behind him, and he couldn't help feeling "I hope that there will be no years to look back, and we will live together with affection".

I once loved a boy at the best age, but unfortunately it was a long time ago.

"You will work hard."

Lin Yuanli knew that the teacher was envious of her love, so I made a gesture of working hard, which made Chen Zhide even more embarrassed.

Before sending Chen Zhide away, Lin Yuanli and Cao Xingkui's family were also going back. Today, they are not happy anymore, and they are still quite tired.

Because it is an engagement, there will be a wedding night in the bridal chamber tonight, and everyone will go back to their respective houses.

However, Liu Yanhong took Cao Xingkui's hand, and she was very willing to let her grandson go back.

"Dad, Mom, if they go back first, you can stay with grandma for a while."

"OK."

What do Liu Chuanbin and Ding Qinglan think about this? We can see Liu Yanhong's love for Yifei, which is a good thing.

It's just that Lin Yuanli's company will be able to go back to your home that night, and you and Liu Yanhong will sleep together.

Day and night romantically exchanged a kiss, and the hickey they produced is called the moon, and the moonlight is especially romantic, spreading happiness to every gentle person.

"Grandma, the quilt you brought is so comfortable to cover, and it doesn't smell like sunshine."

Cao Xingkui curled up outside the warm quilt, sniffing the fragrance of the new quilt, his eyes narrowed into crescents.

"It's spun from the cotton grown by people outside our village. When he and Tianhong get married in the future, you'll make two more sets for them."

Lin Yuanli brought a total of two sets that time, a small red set and a green set. There is no saying, they are called red women and green men.

According to the custom in the north, when a couple gets engaged and gets married, they need to buy a new quilt, which can be bought in the mall carefully, and relatives need to sew it by themselves, and it is very careless.

For example, under the quilt that Cao Xingkui is currently covering, there are auspicious patterns sewn under it. It is a unicorn delivering a child, which means seeking a child, and the quilt is covered with spun cotton, which represents a long life together.

While talking, Liu Yanhong pinched the corners of the quilt for Yifei. What's interesting is that the corners of the quilt are sewn obliquely. The oblique sounds are harmonious, implying that the newcomers live in harmony. , There can be a disconnection in the middle, and it can also be connected.

Why a thread?As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old marriage is linked by a thread.

"Thank you grandma."

Lin Yuanli said something sweetly, planning outside her mind, to go to the smallest shopping mall in Jinling tomorrow to buy some gifts, and do her best as a filial piety.

In the end, you were still thinking about what to buy, but Liu Yanhong took out a "treasure" wrapped in layers of old-fashioned handkerchiefs from the luggage bag she brought.

"Boy, grandma gave him a gift."

"It's used, you hate that quilt."

Although Lin Yuanli knew what was wrapped in the handkerchief, it must be something from Liu Yanhong's collection. You are so embarrassed to want it.

"Boy, he must accept it, unless he wants to be your granddaughter-in-law."

Liu Yanhong said pretending to be angry.

"You want it!" Cao Xingkui immediately changed his attitude, and at the same time you asked curiously.

"Grandma, what is that?"

"necklace."

Lin Yuanli lifted the handkerchief layer by layer, revealing a large square wooden box with no paint peeling off. Before opening the wooden box again, Cao Xingkui covered his mouth and let out an exclamation.

I saw that the wooden box was covered with silk and satin cloth, and under the cloth was a fat white jade pendant. The pendant was pure white with flaws, as white as fat, like cut fat, no bigger than about 10 centimeters, and was carved into a pair of boys and boys. , carved so vividly that even the demeanor of a boy and a boy can be clearly seen.

"Grandma, it's mutton fat jade, but even mutton fat jade may be completely flawless!"

Cao Xingkui has seen jade wares made of mutton fat jade, but this is the first time you have seen a pure white flawed one.

"Yes, come on, girl, take it."

For Liu Yanhong, a jade pendant is a necklace, and it is the same whether the material is rare or expensive.

"Grandma, then."

Cao Xingkui became firm again, that gift was too expensive.

Liu Yanhong directly picked up the jade pendant and put it in Cao Xingkui's hand.

Yifei held it in her palm carefully, feeling delicate and warm in her hands. You sloppyly looked at the shape of a boy and boy, and the more you looked at it, the more you fell in love with it.

"Girl, his grandma said that he is called Jintong Yunan, the golden boy holds the purple medicine, and the jade boy presents the green lotus, which is the best symbol of marriage."

When Liu Yanhong was telling Cao Xingkui the story of the suet jade pendant, in another room, Liu Yifei was tossing and falling asleep under the bed.

"Yan Hong, what happened to him? What if you go to the study?"

Chen Tianhong thought it was the sound of turning the pages of the book that disturbed you.

"Old Chen, does he think we gave Yifei too much dowry?"

"It's too much. We discussed it with Lao Liu. Did you miss the etiquette? Oh, he wanted to talk about the bride price at the time of marriage. What we planned was a villa and a car"

Chen Tianhong counted one by one, counting for a few minutes in a row, and after counting, he still felt that something was too much.

"Yi Fei has to enter and leave the entertainment industry for Tianhong, for us, and you are always in a good mood. You always feel that we owe that girl."

Liu Yifei didn't listen to Lin Yuanli's words sloppily at all, you talked to yourself, and you gritted your silver teeth first, and turned on the bed.

He took out a large key from his inner pocket, walked to the back of the cabinet, and took out a rectangular wooden box with a silver lock from the outside.

After that operation, Chen Tianhong was stunned. I knew what was in the rectangular wooden box. It was my wife's most precious jewelry, but I could even touch it.

"pat..."

The silver lock was unlocked, and Liu Yifei took out a box of the same shape as Lin Yuanli's mutton fat jade pendant, the only difference was that the red paint on the bottom of the box had faded deeper.

Open the box again, and there is another jade pendant outside, but the style is "Golden Boy and Jade Man", but a very beautifully carved peony flower.

Liu Yifei caressed her thumb carefully under the peony flower. After a long time, she put it back into the wooden box. She sighed leisurely and went back under the bed. She also talked, turned her back to Lin Yuanli and closed her eyes to sleep.

Chen Tianhong vaguely guessed something, I wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.

On the morning of the seventh day, Liu Yifei woke up very early, because her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were there, you had to get up early to cook, but when you opened the door of the bedroom, there were no two strange figures in the kitchen. Liu Yanhong and Cao Xingkui, grandson and grandson.

"Mom, Yifei, why are they getting up! You do it, you do it."

Lin Yuanli hurried down to take over.

"Yan Hong, he came just in time to lead Feifei out. Have you prepared breakfast for our family for a long time?"

Liu Yanhong said in a doubtful tone, regardless of your young age, you have always been in good health. Whether you are outside Grandma Chen's Seventh Uncle's house or in your hometown, you often cook by yourself.

For this reason, we have persuaded Lin Yuanli many times, but no matter what, let the old lady do it, and you are still angry, saying that you dislike you for being old.

Liu Yanhong especially travels a lot, you'd rather have her hometown, that time she came to Jinling to stay for two days because of her grandson's engagement banquet, she had already made plans in her heart.

"mom!"

"grandmother!"

Liu Yifei and Cao Xingkui each yelled, but the stubborn old lady was pushed out by you.

"Mom, what should I do?"

Cao Xingkui yelled generously, the address can be changed before the engagement.

Lin Yuanli was still thinking about going back to help in the kitchen again, but was pleasantly surprised by Cao Xingkui's "mother".

"Hey, good girl, good girl, he comes, he will come with you first."

You took Cao Xingkui's hand and were about to go to the bedroom. When you reached the door, you suddenly remembered that Lin Yuanli was still outside. It was convenient for your daughter-in-law to retreat, so you retreated by yourself. When you came out again, there was a box missing from your hand.

"Feifei, that's the jade pendant his grandma gave you when you got married. Now that he's married to Tianhong, you pass it on to him."

While talking, Liu Yifei opened the wooden box.

Seeing the peony-shaped jade pendant outside the wooden box again, Cao Xingkui's eyes were sour, and tears almost came out.

You feel a deep sense of happiness, there is no doubt that the two jade pendants, both Liu Yanhong and her mother-in-law, regard them as the most precious items, and being able to take them out proves how much you love yourself.

"Mom, thank you. It was given to you by grandma. You can have it. Last night, grandma also gave you a "golden boy and jade male" jade pendant, which is as beautiful as yours."

Lin Yuanli explained in a soft voice, you can really have the mother-in-law's jade pendant.

"Grandma gave him one too?"

Liu Yifei was confused, you know that Grandma Chen's Seventh Aunt has no jade bracelet, it was given by Liu Yanhong, and the old lady also kept a jade pendant.

"Well, you can show it to you."

Cao Xingkui was about to go to his room to get it, but was stopped by Liu Yifei.

"Grandma gave it to him, so he will keep it carefully, Feifei, let him go and wake Tianhong to get up, and you can help grandma cook."

"OK, all right."

Cao Xingkui nodded obediently.

Is Liu Yifei going to the kitchen right away, you go back to the bedroom and wake up your sleeping husband.

"Old Chen, our mother's jade pendant is nonexistent."

"There are no two, one is "Flower Blossoms and Wealth", the other is "Golden Boy and Jade Boy", and there is no pair of jade bracelets. Yanhong, Mom gave the "Golden Boy and Jade Boy" to Yifei last night!"

"Yes, old Chen, he knew he was telling you last night."

Liu Yifei pinched her husband, but she was thinking in her heart, the old lady is still facing her younger son, grandson!In terms of craftsmanship, the jade pendant worn by you and Yifei is better than the jade bracelet.

Yes, it is impossible that the jade pendant and jade bracelet are the same outside Liu Yanhong's heart. You still have a jade bracelet on your wrist, which is reserved for Uncle Lin Yuanli's son.

"Okay, don't sleep, get up, he is now the same as his son, one is lazier than the other, you go and help our mother cook."

Liu Yifei locked the jade pendant again, turned around and went to the kitchen.

In the room over there, Cao Xingkui leaned on his big chin, and happily looked at Grandma Chen who was taking a nap for more than ten minutes. It was not until the smell of no food in the kitchen that you pushed the body of your "husband-to-be". However it didn't work.

So Lin Yuan mischievously pinched Grandma Chen's nose again. Ten seconds ago, Grandma Chen, who was breathing smoothly, opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Cao Xingkui's beautiful face.

I, Guan Shigu, turned over and pushed Cao Xingkui under the bed, laughing.

"Yifei, did we go through the process yesterday, and we need to make up for it today!"

"Tianhong, don't make trouble, it's at his house! Grandma and parents are here."

Cao Xingkui was frightened, you reminded him while struggling.

However, your struggle made Grandma Chen, who was joking, react.

Just when Lin Yuanli said that he was going to lock the door, Liu Yifei's voice came from inside.

"Feifei, is Tianhong still awake? What time is that brat still asleep? You're hitting my ass with a spatula."

"Mom, you're awake, you've woken up a long time ago, and you're chatting with Yifei about filming in Italy a few years ago."

"Ah? Is he going to Rome too?" Lin Yuanli was stunned.

"Of course, you are the screenwriter, producer and assistant director of "Roman Holiday". You have already asked for leave from school."

Immediately, Cao Xingkui's eyes mist again, you know that Lin Yuanli is for himself.

"My dear concubine, wait for me to change my clothes."

Grandma Chen patted Cao Xingkui on the head, and said something in a whisper.

Youcheng thought that Cao Xingkui was really obedient to help me get dressed, but it happened that Liu Yifei came back to check the situation.

The picture connected to the outside is the education that comes from my mother's love.
