Chapter 126 Xie Qian also got admitted to Beijing University
Now the whole Xie family knows that Tang Man is greedy. As soon as she sat down, several grandfathers asked Xie Yan to pick up some food for Tang Man. Even Xie Qian kept putting food into Tang Man's bowl.
"Sister-in-law, try this sweet and sour spareribs, and this braised pork."
"Xiaoyan, pick some fish for Manman. The fish today is pretty good."
"Today's shrimps are also delicious. Xiaoyan, pick some for Manman."
After being fed by everyone, Tang Man accidentally ate too much. Worried that she would feel uncomfortable, Xie Qian and Zheng Chunying accompanied her for a walk in the yard and let her get familiar with the Xie Mansion.
Xie Mansion is a house with five entrances and five exits. When entering from the main gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a spacious front yard with a bluestone road in the middle and various flowers and trees planted on both sides.
Walking forward along the central axis, you can see an exquisite main hall with magnificent appearance and carved beams and painted buildings.
Behind the main hall is a courtyard surrounded by corridors, connecting the rooms and forming a relatively independent space.
Going further back, there are the back hall, the garden, and even a large medicinal field.
After a tour, Tang Man had a certain understanding of the Xie Mansion. The Xie Mansion had become low-key since the sudden change more than 20 years ago.
The flowers and trees planted in the front yard are all common flowers and trees on the market. Even the vases, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and chairs displayed in the hall are fake. Anyone who knows the business will know that these are not valuable things.
Of course, these are all for outsiders to see. Many rare and precious flowers and trees are planted in the backyard, which outsiders cannot enter.
The three of them walked into a courtyard called Bamboo Garden. "This is Xiaoyan's courtyard. Xiaoyan used to live in Grandpa's courtyard most of the time. This courtyard is a bit empty. Mom will take you to the flower and bird market some other day to buy some more flowers and plants. You can also take a look at what else you need to add to the house, and then we will buy them together."
"Thank you, Mom."
"We are all family, there is no need to thank each other." Zheng Chunying pulled Tang Man to sit down at the stone table next to the lotus pond. "This lotus pond is also scrapped. Wait until spring and have someone plant some lotus roots again."
Xie Qian couldn't stand it anymore and grumbled, "Mom, why are you doing all this? Aren't we going to move to the West District together?"
Zheng Chunying glared at Xie Qian in dissatisfaction. "What do you know? Your brother is married now. Even if he rarely comes back to live in his own courtyard, he has to keep it beautiful. Only in this way can he live comfortably and feel like home."
After teaching her daughter a lesson, Zheng Chunying explained to Tang Man, "Manman, our family happens to have a property in the West District. Your father-in-law wants you, Xiaoyan, and Xixi to move there after school starts. It's close to Peking University, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there."
"Xiaoyan and Xixi can both cook for themselves. You can have lunch at school at noon and cook for yourself when you get home at night. I will come over from time to time to help you clean up your room and make some soup for you. You are pregnant now and need to supplement your nutrition."
Xie Qian smiled and explained, "Sister-in-law, I don't think I had time to tell you that I was admitted to Beijing University."
"Are you also planning to apply for Chinese medicine?"
Xie Qian nodded and replied, "Yes! Grandpa asked my brother and I to get a diploma, saying that it would be useful in the future. Dad would go there from time to time. He was specially hired as a lecturer in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Peking University."
Zheng Chunying continued, "I discussed this with your father this morning. We think that since you have been admitted to Beijing University, you should finish your university studies well. Son, if you are at ease, I will move over to take care of your child when you have the baby. If you are worried, see if your mother has time. Then your mother and I will help take care of you together."
"We are so happy that mom is willing to help us take care of the baby. There is no reason to worry." Tang Man held Zheng Chunying's hand intimately. "I may have to trouble you to help us take care of the baby in the future. My mom is working and has no time to help me. I really don't want to drop out of school. I want to finish college."
Xie Yan probably had not had the time to discuss with his parents-in-law about asking his mother-in-law to help them take care of the child, but his mother-in-law had already taken the initiative to offer to help them take care of the child. It can be seen that she really treats Xie Yan as her own son.
Her non-blood-related mother-in-law is indeed an amazing mother just as Xie Yan said!
"What's the trouble? I'm so happy that you're willing to let me take care of the child!"
As the three were talking, Xie Yan walked in from outside.
"Mom." Xie Yan greeted Zheng Chunying, walked to sit next to Tang Man, took out a delicate sachet from his pocket, and handed it to Tang Man, "Take this sachet with you, it can relieve morning sickness."
"I just felt a little uncomfortable in the car before, but now I don't vomit as much. The sachet is so beautiful."
Tang Man took the sachet and looked at it carefully. The sachet was purely hand-embroidered with a lifelike plum blossom pattern. The petals were delicate and soft, and the colors were bright and eye-catching. The edge of the sachet was also inlaid with a circle of small and exquisite beads, adding a sense of gorgeousness.
Xie Yan smiled and said, "This is from Mom Xiu. Dad knew I wanted to make a sachet for you, so he took it out for me."
"Mom is so awesome." Tang Man looked at Zheng Chunying with sparkling eyes. It was hard for her not to like her mother-in-law who could cook, embroider, and was willing to help her take care of the children.
After being praised by her daughter-in-law, Zheng Chunying's smile softened. "I learned this from your grandmother when I was a child. After all, she likes to show off these things."
Xie Qian immediately responded, "Sister-in-law, my mother said she would make you a cheongsam for you to wear when you get married."
"You're the only one who talks too much." Zheng Chunying glared at her daughter, then smiled and said to Tang Man, "I did show a piece of cloth, but it hasn't been made into clothes yet because I don't know your size. I want to wait until you come back to make clothes. I'll measure your size and your mother's size tonight. That piece of cloth is just enough to make two clothes."
Knowing that Zheng Chunying meant well, Tang Man did not refuse and smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Mom!"
Xie Yan also smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
Zheng Chunying smiled and shook her head. "It's not hard or not. I just show it off in my free time."
The four of them chatted for a while, and Xie Yan turned his head and said to Tang Man, "Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a nap?"
"Not sleepy."
"That's great, let's go shopping outside and buy you some clothes." Xie Yan then looked at Xie Xi, "Xixi, do you want to join us?"
Xie Qian nodded immediately and said, "Go."
As a result, Xie Qian was glared at by her mother again, "Your brother and sister-in-law are going shopping, why are you following them?"
Just very innocent.
Xie Qian touched her nose and said innocently, "I also want my brother to help me buy clothes. Besides, if I go with him, I can give my sister-in-law advice and help her buy clothes."
Tang Man also quickly chimed in, "Mom, let Xixi come with us! When I came back this morning, I saw that many places in Beijing had changed. If Brother Yan and I go out alone, we might get lost."
Zheng Chunying nodded helplessly, "Okay!"
