Chapter 367 Parents-in-law
Two months passed in a flash.
After returning home once, the little lady supervisor finally announced loudly to Chen Ji and Zhou Wan with high spirits:
The new home has been decorated, just waiting for a good day to move in together!
Led by Chen Ji, everyone applauded one after another, which made the little lady shy and blushed.
During this period of time, she was busy every day, one was decorating, the other was studying. In addition, she had to take Xiao Ke to play. The two maids couldn't keep up with their studies, so she guided them after class.
After that, Xia Shumin would go back to Hongyeshan Xia Mansion to live for two days from time to time, to show that she was still her daughter's home who hadn't left the court.
But I dare not stay longer. After all, it is her decision to decorate. She also has to recruit gardeners, cooks, maids, pay them wages, and take living assistants, tutors, etc. to buy furniture, cars, and Various flowers and trees.
She had to intervene in all matters related to the new home, so that Chen Ji had to force her to take a day off every week, followed Sister Wan to her house as a guest, and sat and drank tea with Mrs. Qu.
Finally, Xia Shumin concluded:
In the past two months, she spent a total of 70 million yuan on decoration, and was in charge of accounting. Mo Yueyao, who studies finance, was taken aback.
Zhou Wan, big and small, was very calm, and asked Chen Ji to transfer 100 million to Xia Shumin's account so that she could continue to spend.
The reason why it is so extravagant is because under the operation of the two of them, the first material related to nuclear fusion has finally been officially launched:
Superconductor at room temperature.
Once launched, it immediately detonated the global news media.
Major companies and countries around the world are scratching their heads in anxiety, and the number of spies in Haicheng has increased tenfold overnight.
Fortunately, Chen Ji had already anticipated this situation, and had asked Ma Yien to create nano-robots to protect Xia Shumin and the others' personal safety.
There is no patent for this level of technology. Other countries will try their best to get it. If they can’t get it, they will use force to get it.
Finally, under official regulation, Chen Ji announced the technology in exchange for some other high-tech technologies from various countries and the opening of the market.
Of course, Maien's database stores a large amount of advanced technology, even if it is announced, Chen Ji can crush others.
Xia Shumin was busy, but Zhou Wan and Zhou Wan were too busy to work overtime, negotiating with all parties, and finally gathered it to Chen Ji for him to make a decision.
They are busy, and Chen Ji is not idle either.
In addition to company affairs, he and Mu Xiaoxiao have to start preparing for the Confluence of Ten Thousand Worlds and the Nine Realms Teleportation Array. In addition, he also has to go to Shenen Continent from time to time, and accompany Xia Shumin back to her natal home.
It is also indispensable to stay with them at night.
"Then next weekend?"
Xiao Zhouwan looked at the date and said, "Chen Ji called your parents, Shumin, you also let your parents spare time, come to Earth early on weekends, you take your parents to the city to have fun, and also, Astana and the elves are also called, and there will be a celebration party when they move into their new home, and some people will be called over for dinner."
One conversation involves many people.
Xia Shumin suddenly became nervous, and looked at Chen Ji: "My husband's parents..."
She, an ugly daughter-in-law, hasn't seen her in-laws yet!
Chen Ji smiled at her as a sign of comfort, and asked Xiao Wan: "Who are you calling? A friend of your parents? The two villas in the east and west should be able to accommodate more than a hundred people, plus waiters, chefs, your secretary, Assistants, I'm afraid there will be two hundred people."
Xia Shumin's head grew big again. With so many people, it was a test of her housekeeping skills.
But she also wanted to hold a lively banquet and let her parents have a look. She is doing well in the Chen family!
"There are too many people."
Da Zhouwan said with a smile: "However, our house is big enough. Except for the back garden where outsiders are not allowed to enter, the rest of the place can accommodate three to five hundred people. At that time, invite neighbors, relatives and friends, and invite them again." A few celebrities come to sing, it’s almost the same.”
Chen Ji nodded, moving into a new home, it is normal to invite neighbors, relatives and friends to dinner. It is a bit exaggerated to invite celebrities to sing, but it is not news for rich people to invite celebrities for their birthdays.
"Are all the neighbors in the community invited?" Xia Shumin asked nervously.
There are more than a hundred households in the community.
"We can just call out in the community group. I estimate that at most ten or twenty households will come."
Little Zhou Wan is very familiar with the living conditions of rich people, "Even if there are many people here, they will just give some gifts and go back after a few sips of wine. When the time comes, we will set up tables in the front yard and also in the West Garden. It's in the West Garden, don't worry, there is a special company responsible for holding the banquet, we only need to list the key people to invite, and the others can come or not."
Xia Shumin lowered his head and thought for a while, "Then I have to start working tomorrow, and I will go home two days earlier, husband and Shumin will invite my parents, oh, husband will also invite sister Astana and the others, and then I will go home with my little sister." Say it, miss."
She gradually arranged everything, ignoring the meal, and called Su Xiaojing and the others, asking them to help her tomorrow.
Chen Ji was smiling when Xia Shumin suddenly said, "Husband, Xiao Jing said that her classmates can come to perform."
"You decide."
Chen Ji laughed.
Xia Shumin started to get busy again.
Finally, after collecting all kinds of information, she found that at least two hundred people would come to celebrate her new home.
This is not included in the community group. Miss Xiaowan said that there are at most ten or twenty households, but the result is that Xia Shumin just sent a group message in the community, and most of the neighbors expressed that they would be there. They also said that if the space is not enough, they can borrow their house. Or set up a banquet in the community.
The reactions of these wealthy people are enough to prove the current status of Chen Ji Company.
Xia Shumin breathed a sigh of relief.
She is not afraid of people coming, but she is afraid of complaints from the neighbors in the community. After all, she is a neighbor in the neighborhood, and the banquet will disturb them.
All kinds of things, finally finished.
The company invited the banquet, some celebrities invited, the dancers invited, the stage lighting began to be set up, but not many invitations were sent out, I called my in-laws, arranged for a driver to pick up the second elder, and prepared the room where her parents lived and Everyday items, etc.
"Husband..."
In the evening, Xia Shumin came to Chen Ji and was hugged by him.
"Shall we go back to our mother's house now?"
"Um!"
Amidst her vigorous nodding, Chen Ji brought her three masters and servants back to Zhao country again.
After seeing the study she was familiar with, Xia Shumin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you been exhausted recently?"
Chen Ji caressed her face, feeling very distressed. Shumin already had two life assistants, four tutors, and the Green Bamboo and Green Bamboo Cooperative, but he was still very busy.
Chen Ji proposed to cancel the banquet several times, but Xia Shumin persisted.
"It's okay~, these things are supposed to be done by me, my husband and sister Wan are also busy outside."
Xia Shumin smiled gently. She already had the charm of a housewife, and gradually faded away from her original youthfulness.
Chen Ji smiled, and sat on her chair with his arms around her.
"Miss and uncle are back!"
Lvzhu went out the door and shouted.
Chen Ji smiled and took Xia Shumin out, and soon saw Lu Rui and Xia Yongcheng again.
"Mother~!"
Xia Shumin threw herself into her mother's arms and acted like a baby.
"How old are you?" Lu Rui said in her mouth, but she couldn't let go of her daughter, pulling her to sit down and rubbing her face.
After a long while, I asked with a smile: "Is the banquet ready for the new home? How many people will be there then?"
Lu Rui laughed again: "You girl is responsible for the arrangements?"
"certainly!"
"Really?"
"It's true, if you don't believe me, ask the green bamboo!"
"Amazing."
Lu Rui sighed, "My girl is now a good housekeeper, she should be called Mrs. Chen from now on."
Everyone laughed, only Xia Shumin blushed.
Chen Ji had dinner with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and mentioned the matter of going to Earth two days earlier.
"Also!"
Xia Yongcheng reservedly agreed, "Your mother and I will go to the earth with you tomorrow to see what the fairyland looks like!"
"You can't wait for a long time, can you?" Lu Rui laughed at her husband: "It should be said to see how Shumin is getting married."
Xia Shumin blushed again, and Chen Ji laughed, saying that he would promise that Shumin would not be wronged in the slightest!
"Of course I believe it."
Lu Rui smiled again, and twisted her daughter's face, "Looking at this girl's joyful look, you can tell how good life is on Earth."
Green Bamboo and Emerald Bamboo bowed their heads in shame.
They thought so too.
They and the young lady are all used to living on the earth, living in my uncle’s house, and enjoying all the modern things.
"Father, mother!"
After eating, they went to the garden to drink tea and chat. Before leaving and going back to the room, Xia Shumin winked at the elders and said playfully, "I went to the earth tomorrow, so I'm sure you'll be shocked. Don't be shocked when the time comes. "
"You girl is still proud!" Lu Rui laughed.
But Xia Yongcheng is really looking forward to it.
In today's Yongkang County, with the influence of his son-in-law, there will be no troubles. Even if something happens, many people from the rivers and lakes will help suppress it, and no one dares to cause trouble.
It is the right time for him and his wife to live on Earth for a few days.
…
Chen Ji and Xia Shumin didn't go to bed right away. They were sitting and chatting in her small yard. Xia Shumin's work and rest time was postponed to more than ten o'clock. However, it has been like this for the past month. It should be fixed. Go to bed at half past ten, get up at six in the morning.
At ten o'clock, Chen Ji went to the bathtub with her to take a bath, carried her back to her boudoir, and rested with her arms around the fragrant little lady.
The second day.
The housekeepers, maids, and women from all walks of life in the mansion already know that Mrs. Madam is going to the fairy world. The whole house is extremely busy, preparing various clothes, spices, tea, gifts, etc. for Mrs. Madam, wishing they could go with them .
Xia Shumin, whose housekeeping skills had been greatly improved, calmly arranged for his servants to do errands, which surprised all the maids.
Chen Ji laughed straight at the sight.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the preparations were finally completed, and all the gifts and other things were delivered to the yard in front of Xia Shumin's gate. The maids and women stood watching from a distance.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, are you ready?"
"My son-in-law... My son-in-law just start!"
Chen Ji smiled slightly, and under the fearful and curious eyes of the maids, he led Xia Shumin and the others to the earth.
He specially told Mayen not to let the clothes of the second elder be lost.
Sure enough, everything is safe and sound.
Xia Yongcheng and Lu Rui, together with a bunch of gifts and other things, came to the living room on the first floor of the Daping floor.
Xia Shumin was used to this kind of time travel, so she quickly collected herself and called out to her parents.
"Here...is the Earth?!"
After Xia Yongcheng saw his surroundings clearly, his eyes widened and he kept looking around.
Sure enough, as my daughter said, in the place where she married, the bricks on the floor are flat and smooth, the furniture is novel and unique, the walls are painted with a layer of lime, many walls are inlaid with marble, and the lamps above the head are big and beautiful. No lights.
Xia Yongcheng took a look at the past, and felt that the house was beautiful and exquisite, with comfortable decoration everywhere, and looking at it, the ground and walls were clean and bright everywhere, without any dirt.
"It really is living in the sky?"
The wife next to him said something, Xia Yongcheng quickly turned his head to look, and was immediately frightened.
Sure enough, as my daughter said, her sister Xiaowan’s home is at a height of twenty or thirty feet in the sky. Looking from the window, there are tall buildings everywhere outside, which is... jaw-dropping!
Yes, it is jaw-dropping!
The high-rise buildings outside broke through all Xia Yongcheng's imagination of the earth. Even if his daughter told it before, the scene in front of him still shocked him.
Compared to him, Lu Rui was much calmer. When she reached the balcony, Xia Shumin hurriedly followed and told her mother about the tall buildings outside.
"Miss, let's make tea."
Lv Zhu and Cui Zhu obediently went to prepare tea, and they didn't show off because the old lady came for the first time.
Chen Ji was by his parents-in-law's side, listening to Xia Shumin's narration with a smile on his face, she was happy, and so was Chen Ji.
The parents-in-law are also happy.
Several people visited the second floor from the balcony, then returned to the first floor, and began to look at the kitchen, bathroom, and care about Xia Shumin's daily life.
When you see a stove that can light a fire with a twist, a food cabinet with cold air coming out when you open the door, a shower room with hot water when you turn the handle, a ceiling that can blow out cold air, a silver-white disc that automatically sweeps the floor, and a place where clothes can be put away. Go into the closet where you can wash your clothes with a few clicks, etc., and so on.
Lu Rui finally nodded, and suddenly realized: "No wonder my girl is not used to washing the bathtub after returning home. It turns out that the bathroom of her husband's house is so beautifully decorated and so convenient!"
"Princess Mother!!" Xia Shumin blushed with embarrassment.
"You are a princess now."
Lu Rui lightly said something to her, which made Xia Shumin puff up his mouth. The previous words were useless.
"This wine cabinet is good!"
Xia Yongcheng noticed the wine cabinet, which is one of the few furniture he can understand at a glance:
There is a glass, so you can see the alcohol inside at a glance.
Chen Ji smiled and said: "It's just noon, I'll have a drink with my father-in-law later."
"No, we'll talk about it tonight!" Lu Rui refused.
"Not even a cup?" Xia Yongcheng argued.
"If you don't go out later, you can drink whatever you want."
"Uh, let's drink it at night... My son-in-law, let's go to those buildings outside later?"
"Go all, Shumin and I will take our father-in-law and mother-in-law to go shopping in the city first, and then go shopping in the mall at night. Shumin and I often go."
Chen Ji has made arrangements.
Lu Rui made an opinion: "Where are Xiao Wan and Wan'er? And that Miss Mu."
Chen Ji smiled and said: "They are at work and know that you are coming, so they will come back at night, maybe around nine o'clock, and we will meet again at that time."
"Alright, listen to my son-in-law!" Xia Yongcheng was in high spirits.
