Chapter 241 Excuses
Zhang Chi originally thought that his uncle and aunt would definitely go to the ceremony with him, but his uncle and aunt didn't mention it, so he was relieved.

It's not that Zhang Youliang and Gu Ying are not willing to go, the main reason is that none of these two couples know the way of getting married in the United States.

The two got married in China when they were young, and it was a formality. Naturally, it is different from ordinary marriages when they come to the United States. They were originally husband and wife, so Gu Ying took advantage of this to come to the United States.

Therefore, the couple didn't know at all that to get married, you need to get a certificate first, and then you have to hold a ceremony with this certificate. After the ceremony, you will finally get a serious marriage certificate. It doesn't count.

"Don't leave at noon today, let's celebrate well, and also, hang up the sign that we are closed at noon," Zhang Youliang said.

"Uncle, don't be so troublesome, we have something to do at noon," Zhang Chi said.

"What do you guys have to do at noon? Now you don't buy cattle or sell grass. Listen to me. At noon, we two have a good drink. How can such a big happy event be done without a drink?" Zhang Youliang was happy Said.

Zhang Chi said: "Uncle, we haven't bought the rings yet, we are going to buy rings at noon."

When Zhang Youliang heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, it's a big deal, but where are you going to buy it? It won't be in a place like New York, right?"

It is impossible for Zhang Chi to go to New York to buy rings, but it must not be in Folsom. You can also buy them here in Folsom, but there are not many varieties and quantities, and there is not much room for selection, so Zhang Chi and The uncle said that he decided to take Melika to a big city [-] kilometers away to buy.

In fact, it was an excuse, he didn't want his uncle to close his business for a whole afternoon and cook for the two of him.

"Then you guys should come back, we've prepared the dishes and waited for you." Gu Ying felt that such good news would be a bit incomplete if he didn't have a meal.

After hearing this, Zhang Chi felt that this matter could not pass, so he nodded: "Well, yes, but it may be a little later, and I won't be back until about one o'clock."

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll wait for you," Zhang Youliang said, "Hurry up, go back early, the shops are open early now, and some of them will run away in winter."

So Zhang Chi and Melika chatted for a few words, and then they went out. The uncle and aunt kept keeping Zhang Chi out of sight, and then happily turned back to the restaurant.

As soon as he returned to the restaurant, Zhang Youliang wrote a list, drove his pickup truck and went to Aunt Phil's house to buy vegetables and cook.

Gu Ying directly took out the tablet and got in touch with Zhang Chi's mother.

When these two excited people get together, it's a great conversation.

"I'm talking about Xiumei, Melika is a really nice girl, not to mention her looks, she treats people and things, and has a first-class personality. She is not delicate, and she is also generous to others...".

Gu Ying is full of praise here.

Originally, Li Xiumei was a little worried. After all, she was a foreign daughter-in-law, and she was afraid that the bull's head she made twice might be wrong. Sometimes the same thing happened, and she might have good intentions on her side, but because of her different habits, if the daughter-in-law misunderstood it, it would be wrong. Are you in trouble?

But now, hearing my sister-in-law say that Melika is a China hand and has an understanding of Chinese culture, at least there is no problem communicating with Gu Ying in normal times, and I feel relieved.

So regarding Melika, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, the two had a lively discussion. After a while, Miao Guifang also joined in. The three women are so lively. Guan Jian is resting at noon today, and Gu Ying is also rare. If she had time, if it was normal, how could she have time to chat with Li Xiumei like this, everyone said that I was sleeping when you were busy, and you were resting when I was busy.

Zhang Chi drove the car out of Folsom, Melika sat in the passenger seat and complained: "Do you have to travel so far to buy a ring? Why, are you going to spend all your money to buy it for me?" ring?"

When I came here, I hadn't mentioned the matter of buying a ring, why did this suddenly appear.

Melika didn't fancy these things, and she didn't have the enthusiasm of ordinary women for diamonds.

It's not that she doesn't like diamonds, but that the diamonds she likes are definitely not the ones on the market, one carat or two carats, how can they catch her eye.

The eldest lady is not interested in this kind of thing, and she is also a special service when buying this thing. When people come to the door with something, she just picks it at home.I went to the store to pick it up, and it was not many times that Melika grew so big.

If you want to say that you can buy good diamonds with money, but with Zhang Chi's current strength, it is definitely not enough to be on the stage. Isn't the diamond worth tens of millions of dollars just to steal the skin of your husband?

Even if Zhang Chi has the money now, Melika is reluctant to spend it on the ring. She thinks that she has to expand the family ranch, or isn't her husband's cattle-raising skills wasted?

Melika has left the family now, but it doesn't mean that she is willing to admit that she is nothing without the family. She thinks that one day, she will show those people what she is capable of.

Therefore, since the ordinary rings on the market are not very satisfactory, just buy one at will.

Zhang Chi couldn't say that he just made up an excuse so casually that he was going to tell his uncle not to make trouble, but he didn't get things done in the end.

"Although it's not very good, we have to pick and choose. We have to choose among the tall ones. The shops here in Folsom are too small. Let's go to the bigger ones..." Zhang Chi said.

Melika laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to think a lot about this."

Melika felt that her husband was really serious about this, and she didn't even think about it.

Zhang Chi laughed and said, "That's right! Isn't this the only time in a lifetime."

At this moment Zhang Chi said in his heart: Look, our buddies are smart, they didn't fool the uncle, they fooled our own wife, and only our emotional intelligence can deal with a little girl like Melika.

If Melika knew Zhang Chi's nervousness right now, she probably wouldn't be able to relieve her hatred with the neck-locking technique, so she could feel more comfortable by kicking him out of the car.

"The house is built, and we have to pick out the furniture. I'll do it," Melika said.

Zhang Chi nodded: "OK."

Now that the properties of the two are going to be merged, wouldn't it be a pain in the ass to worry about who will buy the furniture?
Melika began to ponder: "What style do you say is better?"

"You can make up your mind about this matter," Zhang Chi said.

Melika was a little unhappy when she heard that, and frowned slightly as she looked at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi turned his head to look, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to participate, but you also know my aesthetics. How can I compare with yours? Don't affect your judgment at that time. Anyway, I believe in you...".

Having said that, Melika felt that this was the case. Given Zhang Chi's aesthetics, if he was asked to choose furniture, what could he choose?

So Melika began to think about the layout of the house. Although the house at home was not built, she had seen the general appearance. The prefabricated houses were almost the same. Cards are not too difficult.

Zhang Chi saw his two or three words, and dumped the mess of picking furniture to his daughter-in-law. He felt even more proud, and boasted a few words to himself secretly: "Looking at the emotional intelligence of my brother, my wife is willing and willing to do it, and I don't get tired of it." Work, this is called means, um, if you want her to work in the future, you have to make insinuations and sweet talk.

What the hell, I'm so resourceful!
If I hadn't been born and raised in China, I would run for president and live in Wright House, and we would be wasting the money of American taxpayers.

Alas, what a pity, the American people have lost another good president.

"I think the living room should be fresher, and the log color is good," Melika said.

Zhang Chi gave a thumbs up directly: "It's so right, it's so refreshing with large floor-to-ceiling windows, it's so spacious and bright."

"The dark color is also good," Melika said again.

Zhang Chi followed and said, "Well, it's better to be calm."

In short, Zhang Chi agreed with what Melika said.

As long as he is not allowed to do such a headache of choosing furniture, he will do anything.

The young couple didn't feel too tired along the way, and they arrived at the place after chatting. The two went straight to the jewelry store, spent more than half an hour, and chose a pair of rings. After they came out, they didn't go shopping or buy anything. Go straight back.

Back at the restaurant, although it is time to eat, the outside of the restaurant today is not as busy as before.

I went into the house with Melika, and found that not only uncle and aunt, but also Aunt Phil and his wife came.

"Xiao Chi, congratulations, Melika, can you come over and have a meal?" Aunt Phil was very happy to see Zhang Chi and his wife coming in.

Aunt Phil also watched Zhang Chi grow up. He came here when he was a teenager, and now he is going to marry a wife in a blink of an eye, which made Aunt Phil feel a little bit emotional.

"You and Uncle Phil are distinguished guests who can't even be invited, so it must be possible. I didn't inform you that we were not prepared to do so, or we would have sent you a fine already," Zhang Chi joked.

Uncle Phil, who was standing next to Aunt Phil, was grinning happily at the moment. Zhang Chi was watching and praised Aunt in his heart. This husband trained him. If all the married women have the ability of Aunt Phil, we Chinese will have long been in status. Not ordinary anymore.

"Then why don't you send it?" Aunt Phil was even happier.

Everyone lives here, and they are all from China, so they are closer psychologically than others, and the people here are simple, not as complicated as in big cities.

You live in a big city like Los Angeles or New York. There is even a saying among the Chinese called fire prevention, theft prevention and compatriot protection. There are a lot of Chinese people with bad intentions over there. .

You're right, these people are not good at English, they can't even speak English well, how can they lie to foreigners.

But there is no such thing in Folsom. Firstly, there are few Chinese people here. Secondly, if the people here either have formal jobs or are down-to-earth, there is no way for that kind of cunning to get along here. .
