The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 381 Engagement
After going through the formalities with Kong Yuqin, Yan Jiecheng took his things to Wang Yi's house again.

I plan to tell Director Wang about the two of them. After all, Wang Yi will be 20 years old after the new year, and he has reached the age to get married.

The two had discussed it before, and they would tell their families about it during the Chinese New Year, and then they got married after the Chinese New Year.

Director Wang was a bit surprised by Yan Jiecheng's arrival. She didn't know about the relationship between the two, and Wang Yi didn't tell her about it. She thought Yan Jiecheng was here to visit.

"Xie Cheng, I'm not talking about you, you come here as soon as you say, what else do you bring? This will let others see how bad the influence is, remember to take it back later." Director Wang Xiecheng invited Yan in and then was dissatisfied with a stern face. Some said.

"This..." Yan Xiecheng was a little confused by the monk of Zhang Er. He thought that Wang Yi had told his family about the two of them, but he didn't expect that Director Wang didn't know at all, so he looked at Wang Yi with some embarrassment.

"Mom, I brought everything from others, so there's no reason to take it back. I'm not an outsider anyway, so don't refuse, just accept it."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng looking towards her, Wang Yi blushed and said, the two of them had discussed the day before yesterday to ask her to come back and talk to her family, but she was a bit thin-skinned and didn't speak up, which led to today's situation.

"No, no, I can't accept bribes. This lets others know what to think of me. Besides, we all live on the same street. If you have anything to say, you can just talk about it, and you don't need to send anything." Hearing Director Wang shook his head directly at Wang Yi's words.

After all, she also works in a public company, so it is definitely not okay to take things casually, especially Yan Jiecheng came in broad daylight, and was seen by many people when she came. Things, if she spreads them outside in the future, what kind of person will she be?

Moreover, she found that her daughter was a little abnormal today. Normally, she worked in the system before and should know these rules, but for some reason, she helped Yan Jiecheng speak and let herself take things away.

Could it be that he had been with Yan Jiecheng for a long time and had developed a bad habit, so Director Wang looked at Wang Yi suspiciously.

Seeing that her mother refused to accept Yan Jiecheng's things, and looked at her suspiciously, Wang Yi had no choice but to go to Director Wang, and honestly confessed that she would fall in love with Yan Jiecheng again, and Yan Jiecheng came here today mainly to discuss their marriage. .

After hearing Wang Yi's words, Director Wang understood. She said why Yan Jiecheng came to her house to deliver things, and Yan Jiecheng didn't ask her to do anything.

It turned out that it was his daughter who brought it here. Thinking of this, Director Wang looked at Yan Jiecheng with some dissatisfaction, and blamed him for not explaining the matter clearly.

She is quite satisfied with Yan Jiecheng. In her eyes, Yan Jiecheng is an honest and responsible child.

Regardless of his status, although he opened a restaurant before and became a self-employed person, that was allowed by the street, and his own status as a poor peasant has not changed.

After knowing what he really wanted, Director Wang took the things from Yan Xiecheng's hand, and then led Yan Xiecheng into the room.

Director Wang's house also lived in a large complex. There were more than a dozen families living in the third courtyard. Director Wang's family lived in the middle courtyard, with a main room and two side rooms, a total of three houses.

It was similar to the courtyard house where Yan Xiecheng lived in the previous life. Director Wang Yi just refused to accept what Yan Jiecheng brought because of the crowds.

Moreover, when I entered the house, I met neighbors who took the initiative to say that Yan Jiecheng was her daughter's boyfriend. It was the end of the year to visit the house. I was afraid that people would be misunderstood. Those who didn't know thought that the old lady was showing off.

"Yo, there are guests here? Who is this? Why do you come to the house as a guest and take things?" Hearing the movement outside, Wang Yi's father came out from the inner room and saw Director Wang holding a gift in his hand. Knowing that this person brought it, he asked.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yan Jiecheng curiously, usually his wife wouldn't let people in when he brought things to his house as a guest, but what happened today.

Not only did people enter the house, but they also took things away, which was really strange, so the old man looked at Director Wang with questioning eyes.

Seeing his wife's eyes, Director Wang pouted at Wang Yi, and said, "You have to ask your precious girl."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Seeing his mother making fun of him, Wang Yi said shyly.

"What's the matter? You can't say anything, you have to ask my daughter." The old man looked at Director Wang in confusion and asked.

"Your precious girl is in a relationship with someone, so someone came to propose marriage." Director Wang said while putting things on the table.

"Ah, when did it happen? Why don't I know." The old man was a little surprised when he heard Director Wang's words. After all, Wang Yi had never mentioned it to his family before.

Suddenly the man came to the door, and the old man was not prepared at all.

In his eyes, his daughter was still a child, why did she find a boyfriend all of a sudden, what does this person do, and he doesn't know how the family conditions are.

He was full of questions and didn't know where to ask them, but seeing his wife seemed to understand the situation very well, he couldn't say anything, so he could only ask Yan Jiecheng to sit down first and then ask slowly.

"Hi Uncle, my name is Yan Jiecheng and I'm Wang Yi's boyfriend." Yan Jiecheng sat on a chair anxiously and introduced himself to Wang Yi's father.

"Xie Cheng, you can chat with my old man for a while, and Wang Yi and I will go to prepare a meal, and we can eat something casually at our house later." Director Wang saw Yan Xiecheng chatting with his old man, so he pulled Wang Yi and said, After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yan Xiecheng to open his mouth, he directly dragged Wang Yi to the kitchen.

Seeing that there were only two people left in the room, the old man asked, "Young man, what do you do?"

"Uncle, I run a restaurant and work with Wang Yi." Yan Xiecheng said somewhat restrainedly. After all, this is not his home, and the first time he met the old man, he would ask questions, which made Yan Xiecheng a little nervous.

"Oh, you're the one who runs the People's Canteen next to the tavern?" Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, the old man understood. Director Wang often mentioned it when he was at home, and his daughter was also the public manager there. Still have some understanding.

After all, it was the first batch of units on the street to participate in public-private partnerships, and the issue of bonuses at the end of the year also caused some commotion nearby.

Although many people have never been to his restaurant, they have heard of the restaurant's deeds. After all, it costs dozens of dollars a hair, and few units can do this kind of thing.

Moreover, Yan Jiecheng has a high level of ideological consciousness, otherwise he would not have supported the national policy so much and made the first batch of pilot projects.

"That's right, Wang Yi and I met in a restaurant." Yan Xiecheng said somewhat cautiously.

"Don't be nervous, it's like being at your own home. By the way, can you play chess? If you can, you can play chess with me. Anyway, there is nothing to do when you stay." Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was a little cautious when staying with him, the old man said , I want to ease the atmosphere by playing chess.

Another one is that he is a bit skilled. He usually has no opponent when playing chess at home, and his family does not play with him.

It happened that Yan Jiecheng came today, and he wanted to know how Yan Jiecheng's character was by playing chess. He thought that a good chess player would not go wrong with a general character.

"A little bit, but the technology is not very good." Hearing the old man's words, Yan Xiecheng said somewhat implicitly.

It's hard to say anything else about Yan Jiecheng, but when it comes to playing chess, Yan Jiecheng has never met an opponent.After all, Yan Jiecheng has memories of two lifetimes, and in his previous life, Yan Pugui liked to play chess, and he was also the standard bearer of the courtyard house. Under Yan Pugui's ears and eyes, Yan Jiecheng is more green than green.

Even if he played chess against Yan Bugui, he could do it with ease. He could win as much as he wanted, and he could lose as much as he wanted. Winning or losing was only in his mind.

So when Wang Yi's father proposed to play chess with Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiecheng agreed without thinking.

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng could play chess, the old man took out the chessboard from under the table and put it on the table.

I came here to propose a marriage today, so of course I can't do my best, otherwise, if the old man can't afford to lose, then he won't agree to their marriage.

But no matter how you lose, you have to use your skills, and you can't look like your chess skills are bad, otherwise the old man will not have the pleasure of winning chess.

So Yan Jiecheng played inextricably with the old man, and then pretended to be inadvertent and deliberately made a few wrong moves to let the old man find a chance to win the game.

After playing the first game of chess, the old man looked at Yan Jiecheng with a smile, and preached to Yan Jiecheng with the appearance of an outsider:
"Xie Cheng, your chess skills are pretty good, but you need to practice a lot, and you must not be careless when playing chess. As the old saying goes, if you are careless, you will lose the whole game. Yes, that's the sentence , This game of chess is just like life, you must always be cautious."

Hearing the old man's words, Yan Jiecheng felt a little toothache, and thought to himself that you were still talking about me at your level, if I didn't let you in on purpose, you would win.

Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng secretly made up his mind that this game of chess will kill the old man without leaving any pieces, and let him know what it means to have people beyond people and mountains beyond mountains.

So he pretended to accept it humbly and said: "What uncle said is that I was wrong and careless, so I must be careful this time."

So when the second game of chess started, Yan Jiecheng changed from passive defense to active attack, but in a short time, the old man killed all the people on their backs, leaving the last old player, and Yan Jiecheng still has at least half of them. chess pieces.

The old man looked at the chessboard and frowned tightly, thinking he was careless and shouldn't have reminded Yan Jiecheng just now.

Now, the one who killed himself was only a veteran. If people knew about it, they would not laugh at him. In vain, he claimed to be the number one standard-bearer on the street, but today he directly lost to a young man.

This made him feel very shameless, so he threw away the chess piece, stopped playing with Yan Jiecheng, and sat aside with a stern face and didn't talk to Yan Jiecheng.

"Uncle, you taught me to win this game of chess. I have to thank you." Seeing that the old man was angry, Yan Jiecheng quickly lowered his posture. After all, he came today with a purpose. If this offends the old man Wait a minute and figure out what to do with yourself.

It's all my fault that I didn't take it in on the spur of the moment just now, and the old man was too proud, which made me feel competitive, but I must not say it, otherwise the matter between him and Wang Yi would definitely be dirty.

At this time, Director Wang just walked in with the dishes, feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange, and asked: "Old man, what's the matter with you, who are you showing your face to, and it means you offended you?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yan Jiecheng, but felt that it was impossible, after all, Yan Jiecheng was not a fool, he would not come to his house as a guest and deliberately offend his old man, especially since he was planning to marry his daughter.

"Cough, cough, this, it's nothing, I just played two games of chess a little too much." Hearing Director Wang's words, the old man said in embarrassment.

He would definitely not admit that it was Yan Jiecheng who won his game, that's why he was unhappy, otherwise he would be laughed to death by his wife without waiting for others.

"Really?" Upon hearing what his wife said, Director Wang turned around and asked Yan Jiecheng.

"Yes, that's it. Uncle is too focused on playing chess, maybe he is using his brain too much." Seeing Director Wang looking over at him, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly covered the old man.

"I told you to stop playing chess, but you just didn't listen. Look, something happened. I'll put the chessboard away for you tomorrow and let you play." Hearing Yan Jiecheng's explanation, Director Wang said bluntly.

"Mom, what are you talking about? What's wrong with my dad? You're talking about him again." Wang Yi followed in with the food, and asked curiously when she saw her mother preaching to her father.

"It's not your father, who insists on playing chess with Xie Cheng, and then starts to have a headache from overuse. That's enough, the food is ready, Xie Cheng, go wash your hands and sit down to eat." Director Wang put the dishes down Said to Yan Jiecheng.

"Auntie, are there just the four of us? Where are Wang Yi's two older brothers?" Yan Jiecheng asked when Director Wang asked him to eat.

Hearing Wang Yi's introduction before, Yan Jiecheng knew that there were five people in their family. Besides her parents, Wang Yi also had two older brothers, but they were both married, and her eldest brother had two children.

But when I came to Wang Yi's house today, I saw no one else at home except her parents, so Yan Jiecheng asked curiously.

"Hey, don't mention it, both of them have gone to the old man's house with their wives and children. Today there are only three of us at home."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the kitchen to wash your hands." Wang Yi said, pulling Yan Jiecheng down to the kitchen, and pouring some hot water for him in the washbasin.

While looking at Yan Jiecheng's hands, he asked if his father made things difficult for him just now.

Of course Yan Jiecheng wouldn't tell the truth, he just said that he had a good chat with the old man.

After washing their hands, the two of them came to the dining table. Today, because of Yan Jiecheng, Director Wang specially cooked five dishes and one soup. This also indirectly shows that the conditions of Wang Yi's family are good. There is no such condition for wanting to do it.

During the meal, Yan Jiecheng struggled to help clear the table, then sat on a chair and chatted with Director Wang.

Director Wang knew that he was the only one left in Yan Jiecheng's family. Although his daughter gave birth to a child after she married him and no one took care of her, she didn't have to take care of the elderly at the same time.

And I'm not too old, so I'll just help take care of them when they have a baby, but it's not good.

That is the experience of both of them being small restaurants, a public manager and a private manager. If they get together, one of them will definitely resign in the future, or be transferred away. After all, a public-private joint venture cannot become their husband-and-wife restaurant.

Director Wang thought very well about this. The big deal is to let Wang Yi go back to work in the neighborhood committee, so that he can take over his position in the future.

So Director Wang and Yan Jiecheng agreed to let Wang Yi get engaged to him first after the Chinese New Year. As for when to get married, we had to find a good day.
