Chapter 162: Heard of the Name, Not Seen
Turning around, he smiled and said, "Cousin, let's go and sit down and have some snacks. It's nice to eat and enjoy the scenery on the second floor."
Zhu Chenyang: "Come on, let's try this sofa. I think they are quite comfortable sitting on it."
Because there were a few more people, the second floor was even more lively, and the voices and laughter could be heard directly on the first floor.
Doorway.
Chen Youcai, the owner of the Chen family oil mill in the town, Xie Zhiwen, the owner of the grocery store, and Fang Xiaohu, the owner of the pork stall, all came to the Zhang family's new house.
The reason why several people came together was because they usually delivered goods to Zhang's workshop and would meet each other from time to time. After a long time, everyone became familiar with each other. This time, when they knew that the Zhang family had moved to a new house, they made an appointment to come together to congratulate them.
Madam Chen, the owner of Jinxiufang, also arrived before and after the others.
Madam Chen has always liked Zhang Yunyue. Two days ago, Zhang Yunyue bought bedding and pillows at Jinxiufang, and then sewed a new quilt cover and bought ready-made clothes.
I asked curiously and learned that his family was moving to a new house today, so I prepared some gifts and came to congratulate them.
Zhang Yunyue, who was on the second floor of the third courtyard, happened to stand up and look at the gate from the railing, and just happened to see Madam Chen getting off the carriage.
He turned to Zhang Xingyun and said, "Brother, you talk to your cousins first. Madam Chen from Jinxiufang is here too. My family doesn't know her, so I'll go and greet her."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingyun also stood up and looked towards the gate. It was indeed Madam Chen.
"Yes, Yueyue, go ahead. I'll just watch here."
Zhang Yunyue said something to everyone and went downstairs. After all, only the eldest brother in the family had seen Madam Chen, and the others were not familiar with her, so they quickly ran towards the gate.
Just then, Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng also arrived at the gate.
Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng clasped their fists with the others from a distance. Zhang's father said, "Boss Chen, Boss Xie, Boss Fang, I'm sorry. There are a lot of people at home today. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me."
Chen Youcai smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you're welcome. Today, we came here specially to congratulate you on your new home and to share your good wishes. I hope you will accept our small gift."
Xie Zhiwen also smiled and said, "Yes, we are all here today to share in the good fortune. Congratulations, and this is a small token of our appreciation."
Fang Xiaohu followed up and said, "Congratulations to the two Zhang brothers. This is a small token of my appreciation."
"Thank you guys."
Zhang Cheng and Zhang's father took the gift and placed it at the registration desk at the gate, asking the registrar to register the gift.
Zhang Yunyue also walked to Madam Chen's side and looked at her with a smile: "Madam Chen, I didn't expect you to come today."
Madam Chen said angrily, "With our relationship, I knew your family was moving to a new house today, how could I not come? Here, this is a gift."
Zhang Yunyue took the gift and placed it at the registration desk: "Thank you. Come on, Madam Chen, I'll introduce my family to you."
Zhang Yunyue brought Mrs. Chen to Zhang's father and Zhang Cheng. The two were still at the registration office, helping Chen Youcai and others register the gifts.
"Father, Second Uncle, this is Madam Chen, the owner of Jinxiufang in town. It's the embroidery workshop that Xiaoxiao, Xiaohua and I work with."
Zhang's father: "It turns out to be Shopkeeper Chen. My apologies."
Zhang Cheng: "Manager Chen. Excuse me, Yueyue, take Manager Chen to the main hall to rest and have some snacks."
The Zhang family knew that Yueyue had a collaboration with Jinxiufang, but they had only heard of it but never seen it in person. They didn't expect that Madam Chen would come to congratulate them today.
"Yes, I understand, Uncle."
He turned to Madam Chen and said, "Madam Chen, let's go inside and sit for a while."
"Cousin Zhong, please help entertain and arrange for this young man." Zhang Yunyue pointed at the servant following behind Madam Chen.
"I know, go in."
Father Zhang and Zhang Cheng led Chen Youcai and others into the main hall, and Zhang Yunyue followed closely behind and led Mrs. Chen in.
Madam Chen took Zhang Yunyue's hand and said, "Yueyue, your house is almost as good as the houses of the wealthy families in town. It's big and spacious, and it looks good."
Zhang Yunyue responded with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Madam Chen, but if it is built more beautifully, I feel much better staying here, haha."
Madam Chen nodded: "That's for sure."
At this time, the relatives of the Zhu family and the Qiao family were sitting in the main hall, but for the convenience of chatting, the men sat on one side and the women on the other.
Zhang Yunyue led Madam Chen to sit down on the side of the main room where the women were chatting.
"Grandma, this is Madam Chen, the owner of Jinxiufang in town. She heard that our family moved to a new house today, so she came to congratulate us."
Grandma Zhang looked at the pretty girl in front of her, stood up, took Chen's hand and said, "Oh, you are so beautiful. I heard Yueyue from us talking about you. Yueyue from us is cooperating with your embroidery workshop. Please take care of her."
"Grandma Zhang, you are too polite. Although I am much older than Yueyue, I treat Yueyue like my younger sister. I like Yueyue very much."
"Okay, okay, come, sit down and have some snacks. The food will be ready in a while."
After she finished speaking, Grandma Zhang took a piece of dessert and put it in Madam Chen's hand, and then picked up some melon seeds and put them in her hand as well.
"Okay, thank you, Grandma Zhang."
Mrs. Chen ate the snacks and said to Zhang Yunyue, "Your grandma is really enthusiastic, but she looks very kind and benevolent."
"Yeah, my brothers and sisters all like grandma very much. She's very nice."
Zhang Xiaohua and the other two walked to the main hall door with their things: "Yueyue, what are you doing?"
Zhang Yunyue heard someone calling her, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Xiaohua and the other two.
He waved to the three to come in: "Xiaohua, Xiaohe, Xiaoxiao, come in quickly, I'll introduce someone to you."
The three of them walked into the main hall, and Zhang Xiaohua asked in confusion: "Yueyue, who do you want to introduce to us?"
At this moment, most of the people in the main hall were Zhang's relatives, so Zhang Xiaohua and the other two felt a little curious.
Zhang Yunyue stood up, raised her hand and pointed at Madam Chen beside her and said:
"This is Madam Chen, the manager of Jinxiufang in this town."
Then he introduced to Madam Chen: "Madam Chen, these three are the sisters who provided embroidery workshop for you with me, Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohe, and Zhao Xiaoxiao."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled faintly and bowed, "Madam Chen, I have always heard Yueyue talk about you. You are indeed a beautiful and refined woman as Yueyue said. Today I see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."
Zhao Xiaoxiao also bowed and said, "Yes, we have always been grateful to Madam Chen for recognizing our embroidery."
Zhang Xiaohe said carelessly: "Ms. Chen, you are so beautiful."
"Puchi" Madam Chen was amused by Zhang Xiaohe's words: "Hello, I heard Yueyue say before that she has three sisters who provide embroidery patterns together.
It turned out to be you. The embroidery patterns you made are selling very well in Jinxiufang. Keep up the hard work and let’s make more money together, haha.”
"Well, okay, thank you, Ms. Chen."
