Chapter 123 Go? Not going?
He Jing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "Let's see what my parents say first."
Liao Hongmei also agreed and returned the invitation, "Let's talk about it when we have dinner."
"it is good."
dinner.
The whole family sat down.
He Jing looked around, took out the envelope and placed it on the dining table.
"Is it the reply to the manuscript?" Xu Zhaodi asked immediately after seeing the envelope, "How is it?"
She originally wanted to ask how much the royalties were.
But seeing that He Jing had placed them on the table, I thought they must have been opened in front of everyone.
Xu Zhaodi was looking forward to it.
After hearing her words, the others also waited expectantly for He Jing to speak.
But He Jing shook her head, "This letter was sent from Yunluo City, but it's not related to the manuscript."
"what?"
At this moment, except Liao Hongmei and He Jing, everyone else was stunned.
"It's not about the manuscript." Xu Zhaodi was disappointed.
"Who is that?" He Jijun grasped the key words.
He Jidong thought of Jiang Jiayuan in Yunluo City, and frowned, "Could it be that person?"
"Who is it?" He Jijun thought he knew, so he looked at him and asked.
He Jidong didn't really want to answer and hesitated.
"Jingjing, you say it." He Zhiqiang asked directly.
Shi Chunlan swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"It's He Fangfang." He Jing has always used her full name, and everyone is used to it.
"Fangfang?" Shi Chunlan was thinking of her, her eyes showing some nervousness and worry. She wanted to ask He Jing what had happened, but she was afraid that He Jing would be unhappy.
For a moment, the expression on her face was somewhat colorful.
He Jing noticed it, glanced at it, then looked away, and replied seriously, "He Fangfang is getting engaged."
After saying that, He Jing took out the invitation from the envelope, handed it to He Zhiqiang, and told him the time and place.
After He Zhiqiang took it, he looked at it for a while and then gave the invitation to Shi Chunlan.
"The fifteenth of next month."
It's July.
There is nothing to do at home.
It's okay to say it.
But the journey was long, and the invitation only included an invitation, without saying how the family would live in Yunluo City.
What kind of charter is it specifically?
He Zhiqiang is not sure.
Besides, he had spent most of his life in Hekou Village and had never been to any other place. He didn't really want to go to Yunluo City.
Even though the daughter he had raised for 18 years was getting engaged, He Zhiqiang still felt the same.
Shi Chunlan looked at it and recognized how He Fangfang's name was written.
Shi Chunlan looked at the words on the invitation with tears in her eyes, "I didn't expect to get married so soon."
It’s only been less than half a year since I returned.
"Mom, we're engaged, not married yet." Liao Hongmei couldn't bear it any longer. She glanced at He Jing's expression before speaking.
"There is one more thing. Jingjing just told me." Liao Hongmei sighed, took a deep breath, and looked at He Jing, asking her opinion whether she should say it or not.
He Jing shook her head slightly, then nodded, as if it didn't matter what she said, her sister-in-law could say whatever she wanted.
Liao Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke again, "I heard from Jingjing that the head of the He family might be transferred to a new position as factory director."
"Fangfang is anxious to get married right now. I'm afraid she wants to have a good relationship with the Jiang family."
The implication is that He Fangfang probably doesn't want the Jiang family of Yunluo City to see them going there.
This invitation is probably sent just as a token of my appreciation.
Shi Chunlan's original intention to go suddenly sank. She looked at He Zhiqiang in confusion, "Boss, what do you say?"
"Fangfang went back without saying anything. She didn't treat us as family the last time she came back." He Zhiqiang said, "This time, she's getting engaged, and I don't want to go."
Having raised a daughter for eighteen years, He Zhiqiang definitely has feelings for He Fangfang, but he is clear-headed and sees things more clearly.
He Fangfang was not satisfied with their family and wished that they would have no relationship from now on. She didn't want anyone else to know that she had such a past.
When Shi Chunlan heard this, her heart completely died.
"Then I won't go." She was still holding the invitation in her hand, so tightly that her fingertips had turned white.
He Jing saw this and felt distressed and sad, "Mom, we can go, but not as foster parents."
"It's impossible for a state-owned restaurant to seat too many tables." Although the He family and the Jiang family are both prominent families, there are rules and regulations, which means inviting relatives and friends of the two families to have a meal together as a witness.
It's almost like a family reunion party.
"When we get to Yunluo City, we can go to the state-owned restaurant to take a look." I couldn't even think about eating there.
A dish in a state-owned restaurant costs several cents.
If the two of them go, the eldest and second sisters-in-law may say they have no objection, but they will definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Shi Chunlan shook her head and refused, "Forget it, it's good enough that I know she's engaged."
As for whether or not to witness it with your own eyes, it is not very important.
Shi Chunlan closed her eyes, took a long sigh, and then said, "Your father is right too."
"If we go, Fangfang will only be more unhappy."
Xu Zhaodi was unhappy when she heard this, and she pouted and whispered, "If it weren't for my parents, He Fangfang would have died long ago."
The He family has two sons and their living conditions are pretty decent.
Otherwise, in Hekou Village, families who already have a son would not want to raise another daughter.
Sooner or later you will be thrown into the river. It doesn't matter if you survive or not.
She and her elder sister-in-law Liao Hongmei were able to survive because there was no son in the family and there was a lack of labor.
He Jidong heard it and nudged her twice with his elbow, telling her to be careful and not talk nonsense.
Xu Zhaodi pursed her lips and stopped talking.
The issue of the invitation has been resolved.
But this meal was extremely heavy.
After dinner, He Jing cleaned up the dishes.
After washing the dishes, she came out and saw Shi Chunlan sitting in the yard. She didn't go out to chat with neighbors as usual, but just held a large sunflower fan and looked at the night sky.
The night sky is brilliant at this time.
Everywhere you look, you see shining stars.
He Jing looked up, then looked down again, turned around, got a small stool and sat next to her.
Shi Chunlan heard the voice, turned around and saw that it was her. She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Jingjing."
"Mom, go if you want to." He Jing said.
Shi Chunlan still shook her head, "Your father is right, she will be unhappy if we go."
"What about you?" He Jing asked, "Mom, are you happy that you're not going?"
Shi Chunlan was silent.
He Jing continued, "Mom, why do you care whether He Fangfang is happy or not?"
"Mom, think about yourself more."
People live for themselves.
There's nothing wrong with being a little selfish.
"She was able to write the invitation and send it over, which proves that Mr. and Mrs. He Jianguo knew about it."
"We went with the invitation, and they couldn't kick us out."
If He Fangfang had the courage to write, she must have thought about their presence.
You can't be both a man and a woman.
