The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 381 Engagement

After completing the formalities with Kong Yuqin, Yan Jiecheng went to Wang Yi's house with his things.

I plan to tell Director Wang about the two of them. After all, Wang Yi will be twenty years old after the Chinese New Year and is old enough to get married.

The two of them had discussed it before and told their families during the Chinese New Year, and then they would get married after the Chinese New Year.

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

"Jie Cheng, I'm not telling you, you can come just as you say. What else do you bring? It will have a bad impact on others. Remember to take it back later." Director Wang invited Yan Jie Cheng in and then said with a dissatisfied face.

Some said.

"This..." Yan Jiecheng, a two-foot-tall monk, was confused. He thought Wang Yi had told his family about the two of them. Unexpectedly, Director Wang didn't know about it at all, so he looked at Wang Yi with some embarrassment.

"Mom, I've brought everything here, so there's no reason to take it back. We're not outsiders anyway, so don't refuse, just accept it."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng looking towards her, Wang Yi blushed and said, the day before yesterday they had discussed asking her to come back and talk to her family, but she was a bit shy and didn't say anything, which led to today's situation.

"No, no, I'm not taking bribes. This lets others know how to look at me. Besides, we all live on the same street. If you have any questions, you can just tell me. No need to give anything as a gift."

Director Wang shook his head directly after Wang Yi's words.

After all, she also works in a public institution, so it is definitely not okay to collect things casually, especially since Yan Jiecheng came in broad daylight. Many people had already seen her when she came. If she went back empty-handed later, people would definitely know that she, Director Wang, had collected it.

If this thing is spread outside in the future, how will she behave?

Moreover, she found that her daughter was a little unusual today. Normally, she had worked in the system before and she should know these rules, but somehow she still helped Yan Jiecheng to speak and asked her to put things away.

Could it be that after staying with Yan Jiecheng for a long time, he got into bad habits? Director Wang looked at Wang Yi with some suspicion.

Seeing that his mother refused to accept Yan Jiecheng's things and looked at him suspiciously, Wang Yi had no choice but to walk up to Director Wang and confess honestly that she would not fall in love with Yan Jiecheng again. Today Yan Jiecheng came here mainly to discuss the marriage of the two.

.

After hearing Wang Yi's words, Director Wang finally understood. She said why Yan Jiecheng came to her house to deliver things, and Yan Jiecheng had nothing to ask her to do.

It turned out that it was his daughter who brought him the trouble. Thinking of this, Director Wang looked at Yan Jiecheng with some dissatisfaction, blaming 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 the ingredients, although he had opened a restaurant and became self-employed, that was allowed by the street, and his identity as a poor peasant had not changed.

After knowing what he really wanted to do, Director Wang took the things from Yan Jiecheng's hand, and then led Yan Jiecheng into the house.

Director Wang's family also lives in a large courtyard. There are more than ten families living in the third courtyard. Director Wang's family lives in the middle courtyard, with one main room and two side rooms, a total of three houses.

It is similar to the courtyard house where Yan Jiecheng lived in his previous life. Director Wang Yi just refused to accept the things Yan Jiecheng brought because there were too many people talking.

Moreover, when she met the neighbors when she entered the house, she took the initiative to say that Yan Jiecheng was her daughter's boyfriend. It was the end of the year and she was visiting the house. I was afraid that people would misunderstand her, and those who didn't know would think that the old lady was showing off.

"Hey, there is a guest at home? Who is this? Why are you bringing something when you are a guest at home?" Hearing the noise outside, Wang Yi's father came out of the inner room and saw Director Wang holding a gift in his hand.

Knowing that this person had brought it, he asked.

After saying that, he looked at Yan Jiecheng with some curiosity. Normally, his wife would not let people come into the house if they brought things to visit, but what happened today.

Not only did they let people into the house, but they also kept the things. It was really strange, so the old man looked at Director Wang with questioning eyes.

Seeing the look in his wife's eyes, Director Wang pursed his lips at Wang Yi and said, "You have to ask your dear daughter about this."

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

"What's wrong? There's something you can't tell me. I have to ask my daughter." The old man looked at Director Wang confused and asked.

"Your precious daughter is in love with someone, so no one is coming to propose marriage." Director Wang said while putting things on the table.

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

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

In his eyes, his daughter is still a child. Why did she suddenly find a boyfriend? He has no idea what this man does or what the conditions at home are like.

He was full of questions and didn't know where to start, but seeing that 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 around slowly.

"Hello, uncle, my name is Yan Jiecheng and I am Wang Yi's boyfriend." Yan Jiecheng sat on the chair uneasily and introduced himself to Wang Yi's father.

"Jie Cheng, you chat with my old man for a while, Wang Yi and I will prepare a meal, and we will have something to eat at our house later." Director Wang saw Yan Jiecheng chatting with his old man, so he pulled Wang Yi and said,

After speaking, Yan Jiecheng directly pulled Wang Yi to the kitchen without waiting for him to speak.

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

"Uncle, I own a restaurant, and I work with Wang Yi." Yan Jiecheng said with some restraint. After all, this is not his home, and the old man asked questions when we first met, which made Yan Jiecheng a little nervous.

"Oh, you opened the People's Canteen next to the tavern?" After 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. He was very interested in the restaurant.

I still have some understanding.

After all, it was one of the first units on the street to participate in a public-private partnership, and the issue of bonuses at the end of the year also caused some excitement in the neighborhood.

Although many people have never been to his restaurant, they have heard about the restaurant's deeds. After all, it costs dozens of yuan per dish, and not many companies can do this kind of thing.

Moreover, Yan Jiecheng has a very high ideological consciousness, otherwise he would not be so supportive of national policies and do the first batch of pilot projects.

"Yes, Wang Yi and I met in a restaurant." Yan Jiecheng said a little cautiously.

"Don't be nervous. Just act like you're at home. By the way, can you play chess? If you can, you can play chess with me. There's nothing to do anyway." Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was a little reserved with him, the old man said.

, I want to lighten the atmosphere by playing chess.

There is another one who has a bit of a itch. He usually has no opponent when playing chess at home, and no one in his family plays with him.

It just so happened that Yan Jiecheng came here today. He wanted to learn about Yan Jiecheng's character by playing chess. He thought that good chess skills would be good in general.

"I know a little bit, but my skills are not very good." Yan Jiecheng said a little implicitly after hearing the old man's words.

It’s hard to say if it’s other Yan Jiecheng. When it comes to playing chess, Yan Jiecheng has never met an opponent. After all, Yan Jiecheng has the memory of two lives, and Yan Bugui liked to play chess in his previous life. He was also the flag bearer of the courtyard. In Yanbu

Under the influence of expensive ears, whiskers and eyes, Yan Jiecheng is more blue than green.

Even when playing chess with Yan Bugui, he can still do it with ease. He can win or lose whenever he wants. Winning or losing can only be decided by his thoughts.

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

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

I am here to propose marriage today, so of course I cannot use all my strength, otherwise if the old man cannot afford to lose, he will not agree to their marriage.

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

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

After playing the first game of chess, the old man looked at Yan Jiecheng with a smile, and preached to Yan Jiecheng like an outsider:

"Jie Cheng, your chess skills are pretty good. You just need to practice more. Don't be careless when playing chess. As the old saying goes, if you make one careless move, you will lose the whole game. Yes, that's the saying.

, this game of chess is just like life, you must always be cautious."

Hearing the old man's words, Yan Jiecheng felt a bit toothache, thinking that you are still talking about me at your level, if I hadn't deliberately let you down, you would have won.

Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng secretly made up his mind that this game of chess would kill the old man to pieces and let him know what it means to have people outside and mountains outside the mountains.

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

So when the second game of chess started, Yan Jiecheng changed from passive defense to active attack. In just a short time, the old man killed all the people on their backs, leaving no one behind. The last veteran was left, and Yan Jiecheng still had at least half of his side.

chess piece.

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

Now it's good, he killed only one veteran, and people still laughed at him when they found out. It was in vain that he claimed to be the number one flag bearer in the street, but today he lost directly to a young man.

This made him feel very shameless, so he threw away the chess pieces and stopped playing with Yan Jiecheng. He sat aside with a straight face and did not talk to Yan Jiecheng.

"Uncle, I won this game of chess because of your teachings. I have to thank you." Seeing that the old man was angry, Yan Jiecheng quickly lowered his posture. After all, he came with a purpose today. If he offended the old man,

Wait and think about yourself, what can you do?

It's all his fault that he didn't control his impulse just now, and that the old man was too proud, which made him want to win, but he definitely couldn't say it out loud, otherwise the matter between him and Wang Yi would become dirty.

At this time, Director Wang walked in with the dishes. Feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere, he asked: "Old man, what's wrong with you? Who are you showing to with such a straight face? Does it mean that you have been offended?"

After saying that, he looked at Yan Jiecheng, but thought it was impossible. After all, Yan Jiecheng was not a fool. He would not come to his home as a guest and deliberately offend his old man, especially when he was planning to marry his daughter.

"Ahem, ahem, this, it's nothing. I just overused my brain during the two games of chess just now." The old man said a little embarrassed after hearing Director Wang's words.

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

"Really?" After hearing his wife's words, Director Wang turned around and asked Yan Jiecheng.

"Yes, that's it. My uncle is too focused on playing chess and may be overusing his brain." Seeing Director Wang looking towards him, Yan Jiecheng quickly covered the old man.

"I told you to play less chess, but you just didn't listen. Look, something happened now. I will put the chessboard away for you tomorrow and let you play." Director Wang said rudely after hearing Yan Jiecheng's explanation.

"Mom, what are you talking about? What's wrong with my dad? You're talking about him again." Wang Yi followed in with the dishes. When he saw his mother preaching to his father, he asked curiously.

"It's not your dad yet. He insists on playing chess with Jie Cheng, and then he overuses his brain and starts to get a headache. Okay, the food is ready, Jie Cheng, hurry up and wash your hands and then sit down to eat." Director Wang put down the dishes.

Said to Yan Jiecheng.

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

From Wang Yi's own introduction, Yan Jiecheng knew that there were five people in their family. In addition to her parents, Wang Yi also had two brothers. However, both of them were married, and her eldest brother also 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 took their wives and children to their father-in-law's house. There are only three of us at home today."

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

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

Of course Yan Jiecheng would not tell the truth, he just said that he had a pleasant chat with the old man.

After washing their hands, the two of them came to the dinner table. Today, because of Yan Jiecheng's presence, Director Wang even made a more sumptuous meal, directly cooking five dishes and one soup. This also indirectly shows that the conditions of Wang Yi's family are good. Otherwise, in this era, guests coming to the house will be...

I don’t have the conditions to do it.

During the meal, Yan Jiecheng scrambled 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 had no one to take care of her after she married him, he did not have to take care of the elderly at the same time.

And I'm not too old, so when they have children, I can help take care of them, but there's one disadvantage.

That is the experience of two people working in small restaurants, one as public manager and the other as private manager. If they get together, one of them will definitely resign or be transferred. After all, a public-private partnership cannot become their mom-and-pop restaurant.

Regarding this, Director Wang was thinking very well. In the worst case, Wang Yi could return to work in the neighborhood committee, so that he could 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, they had to find a good day. If not, just find someone to check. Anyway, the country has not banned feudal superstitions yet.
