"Why do you have to be so self-deprecating? You have done very well. After seeing your elder sister-in-law today, I realized how much sacrifice you have made living at home in the past few years. Don't be too harsh on yourself, you are not the superwoman of God Power, you cannot save the world! "

"I …"

He wanted to say that he had done enough, but he hadn't done enough. However, after thinking about it, he still couldn't say it out loud, because the words he had just said were too white!

"What is your sister planning to do now? When we were at the Chen family, what did I hear from you that she and Chen Jiajhao have yet to receive a certificate? Are their children old? Why haven't you gotten a certificate yet? "

In Tang Banyeng's opinion, this was a very strange matter.

This is a custom here, and once we are engaged to be married, the woman can stay in the husband's house. After we have children, we can hold the wedding, and once the marriage is over, it would be irrelevant if the husband and wife aren't the ones to receive the certificate. There are many families in the village like Huanhuan and the rest, and they all have several children, but they still haven't received the certificate.

"There's actually such a custom?"

Yes, in recent years, we have had more and more strange customs. Initially, during my parents' generation, I felt that those customs were quite normal, but now, they are becoming more and more exotic, and the wedding had to wait until the birth of the child, because this way, the newlyweds and their children will be able to get the red packets and gold pieces, which is equivalent to receiving a double gift. Some families even started doing the same thing, because if they didn't do it, they won't be able to get back the excess gift they previously gave out.

"And will you follow these customs when you marry in the future?"

Tang Bainfeng couldn't help but ask as he looked at her disdainful expression.

"How can that be? If I could get married one day, the wedding would definitely happen before I get pregnant, so the gift money isn't important, and if there's any fuss about the wedding and how many guests are invited, all these notifications aren't important. What's important is that during the wedding, the two people who love each other, under the witness of their family and friends, make a life-long promise to each other, and how much sincere blessings would they receive, that should be taken care of, right? "I don't want all the guests at my wedding to be wondering when the red packets today will be returned to their families or something like that!"

"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to take back the gift you gave me earlier?" Tang Banyeng asked again.

After all, I am a person who doesn't even know whether or not I will get married. Those gifts are my blessings to the newlyweds, if I really get married in the future, they only need to bring their blessings.

Tang BIngfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled. "What are you looking at?"

"I don't want to do anything to others. Think about it from a different perspective. When I go to someone else's wedding, if they are going to collect a lot of gifts, I will definitely feel uncomfortable. It's a good thing, so why should I feel uncomfortable? Isn't the most important thing for everyone to be happy? "

"Then you are not worried that your in-laws will object to you? Your future husband might not agree with you, but what about you? "

"Since I've chosen to marry this man, our views must be the same, so there won't be such a problem. As for my wife and I, as long as she is of one mind, she will definitely be able to explain it!"

Tang BIngfeng smiled, and as usual, he exchanged the sliced steak for Nikki. "Eat first, only after you've eaten your fill will you have the strength to deal with tomorrow's matters!"

He then lowered his head and began to eat the steak. Tang Banyan Feng couldn't help but smile as he looked at him with such concentration.

He picked up the glass and ate without taking a bite. Seeing that Nikki was almost done eating, he added some of the steak on his plate into her plate.

"You don't eat?" Nikki raised her head and looked at Tang Banyan.

"I'm used to eating less tonight. This steak is pretty good, what a waste. Help me eat more!"

"Fine, then give me what you can't finish. I'm the opposite of you; my appetite is the best tonight!"

"Sigh ~ Say, you usually eat quite a bit, why are you so thin?"

Tang BIngfeng looked at Nikki's slim figure and furrowed his brows. With such a fragile appearance, where did all this food go?

I don't know, anyway, I'm one of those people who never gets fat no matter how much they eat. In my dad's words, people like me are purely here to waste the country's food, other people eat, and they still grow some meat on me, but I don't have any meat left. However, my female friends around me are very envious of me.

Nikki stuffed the last piece of beef in her plate into her mouth and put down her fork with a satisfied expression. Then, she picked up the red wine beside her and took a sip.

"Brother Feng, why do you think this wine is so strange? It's clearly made of ice, but after drinking it into your stomach, it makes you feel warm?"

"Drink as much as you like!"

Seeing the sorrow deep in her eyes, Tang Banyeng knew that at this moment, he didn't have the ability to dispel them. If the alcohol could make her feel better for the time being, then drinking more would be better than lying in bed and opening her eyes until daybreak!

"Yea, we do need to drink a little more. This wine is so expensive, it would be a waste if we don't drink it!" "Come, Brother Feng, you have another drink too!"

Tang Banyeng handed the wine glass over and let Nikki pour the wine for him.

The two of them drank their wine as they chatted. Tang Bainfeng intentionally changed the topic to work as he didn't want to remind him of the troubles at home.

Warmth, after you go back, leave the first half of the revisions to me. I need to get Professor Chen's help to see the effects of the changes, and also, you will need to start the screenwriting class on Professor Chen's side. After all, < Weather Reduction > is a big production of the Tang family next year.

It's just that I want to touch up on some details. After I go back, I will pass the script to you as soon as possible. By the way, Professor Chen, should I bring some local specialties from my hometown for her?

"I really don't know what local specialties you have here. If you don't mind, I'll take you guys around the local specialties shop!"

"Sure, if there's any problem, I'll take you there when we're going back to B City. Now that logistics is so convenient, we can pack it up and hand it to the courier before we leave. When we reach B City, we'll be able to get our hands on it. It's also new and the weather is cold right now, so there's no need to worry about anything bad happening on the way!"

"Fresh? Bad? Don't tell me your local specialties are fresh-looking? "

Xiaoxiang rolled her eyes, "Brother Feng, aren't the local specialties fresh type? Basically, it's all right! "

"Haha, I've never counted this before!"

"As soon as I saw you like this, I knew that you would only receive gifts from others, and that you would rarely give gifts to others. Sigh … I'm so envious of you, you're so high and mighty, you don't even need to look at others' faces!"

Tang Banyeng looked at him in amusement. "Who told you I've never seen a person's face before?" "When I ran into walls everywhere, you didn't know where to enjoy yourself."

"Smashing walls everywhere? "You?!" Nikki pointed a finger at Tang Banyan with suspicion written all over her face.

"That's right!" What? Do you think I'm that much of a pampered person in your eyes? "

"That's true. Brother Feng, you can tell from one look that you have a good family background. Since you were young, you should have become someone else's child. In my opinion, your growth must have been smooth sailing!"

My family is not bad, but a family like ours, where parents don't want to raise a popinjay, will be very strict in the process of their children's education. I can tell you, from the moment I started being sensible, I didn't take a single cent from my parents for free, anything I took from them will be paid for, and when I went abroad to study, they didn't even give me a single cent of the living expenses. After finishing my studies, I wanted to start a business, but my parents refused to give me any support.

"Brother Feng, I really didn't know you had to suffer so much before. I thought I was miserable enough to have to work so hard just to read a book. I didn't expect you to endure this much too!"

"Brother Feng, I have to toast you. I want to study well with you, and I can't let my heart drop just because of a small matter. I understand now, this person is alive in this world, and it's not easy for anyone. What I want to live in the future will depend on how I live today. From today onwards, I want to work hard for a better tomorrow!"

After saying so, he tilted his head back and finished the glass of red wine in one gulp.

The corner of Tang BIngfeng's mouth twitched as he looked at the confident expression on her face. This girl was simply too impulsive. He hadn't even said anything, and had only briefly told her about his own upbringing. Yet, she had been able to pull herself together in such a short time.

If only he had known this would happen, he would have just made up a few words of the Soul-Spirit Chicken Soup. Why would he have wasted such a good bottle of red wine?
