Chapter 195 Proposal(1/2)
Zhou Tao found that his sister was very happy these days. Specifically, she tried to make snacks again.
Zhou Yan has a bad temper, and her cooking skills are even worse, so she never goes into the kitchen unless she is particularly interested in something or when she is in a particularly good mood.
The food made by Zhou Yan must be for Zhou Tao and Zhou Shou to eat, one portion for each person, no one can escape.
Zhou Yan felt that cooking could be done by a cook. If a woman could make some beautiful snacks, she would definitely look virtuous and generous. So, she started making snacks.
There are dim sum recipes at home, and she made them according to the recipes. It didn't feel particularly difficult! As for whether they taste good or not, that remains to be seen.
"Isn't it delicious? Well, I'll try it next time." Zhou Yan said nonchalantly.
With a smile, she took out the red bean pie she had just made and gave it to her father and brother to try, but their expressions seemed a little off. Maybe it wasn't delicious?
"It's okay, it's not very delicious, it's just..." The taste is not right, it's so sweet.
"It's okay, feel free to give your opinions so that I can make corrections." Zhou Yan would never taste it herself. If it doesn't taste good, it will affect her determination to make it a second time.
"It's just a little too sweet, put less sugar in it first." Zhou Tao said cautiously.
"Eh? I put the sugar according to the recipe. Could it be that our spoon is bigger?" Zhou Yan said, touching his chin.
"Sister, haven't you gone to play with Sister Yang recently? Or read a storybook? Why have you started making snacks?"
Zhou Tao asked tentatively, the snacks made by his sister were really hard to describe. He didn't dare not to eat them, but after eating them, he didn't even want to eat them!
"Just for fun, I occasionally go to Sister Yang to ask for cooking tips! Let's get together and read the storybook later. I make snacks because I'm happy and I'm in a good mood!"
Zhou Tao could tell that his sister was in a really good mood and answered every question one by one. It was rare for her to be so patient.
"Because dad is back?" Zhou Tao asked tentatively.
But you shouldn’t think about it! It’s been half a month since dad came back, and my sister has only been so happy these days.
"Huh! You can't stay in college if you're a female student!" Zhou Shou snorted heavily, and then went out without eating anything.
"Dad, what do you mean by this?"
"Hehe, it's just that dad has already agreed to the matter between me and Brother Dahu. I guess my sister will get married soon."
Zhou Yan replied with a smile. She had been in a particularly good mood since she knew her father had agreed last time. She was extremely envious of the life of Sister Yang and Brother Dayi. She would definitely be very happy with Brother Dahu in the future.
"Ah." Zhou Tao said softly.
His expression froze, his sister was getting married? Then she would no longer live at home, so what should he do?
"What's wrong? Is Taotao unhappy?"
Even Zhou Yan, no matter how careless he was, could tell that Zhou Tao was unhappy and his smiling face drooped.
"No, I just feel reluctant to leave my sister!" Zhou Tao said with a forced smile.
He is already eleven years old this year and is no longer a child. He knows that his sister likes Brother Big Tiger very much, and Brother Big Tiger also likes his sister. It is good that they can be together.
He shouldn't affect their happiness because of his own reasons. My sister definitely wants him to be happy for her.
"Hey, what's the point of being reluctant? Even if I get married, I'm still in the town. If you miss me, go and see me. I can also come back to see you and dad. The time will be up in a while, and it'll be like parting or dying.
Same." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Well, I'll be a guest later. I really like Brother Xiao Da, and I also like Brother Dahu." Zhou Tao said with a smile.
"Yes! In fact, it's a little early for us to say this. It's true that dad has agreed, but we haven't discussed the marriage yet. We still have to get engaged and then get married. It's early for this process to be completed!"
Zhou Yan felt a little shy when she mentioned this. After her father agreed, Brother Dahu secretly met her once.
Brother Dahu told her that after a while, his father would choose a good day and then come over to propose marriage.
Propose marriage, discuss marriage, get married...
Zhou Tao was very happy when he saw that his sister was rarely shy. It was really good for her to have someone taking care of her.
…
November 18th is a good day to discuss marriage and travel.
Wang Dahu got up early in the morning, washed and shaved, and specially changed into festive clothes. The clothes were dark red with dark lines.
"Dad, hurry up." Wang Dahu urged.
He has finished cleaning up, but his father just took a shower! He was still taking his time, so why wasn't he in a hurry?
"Why are you in a hurry? It's so early in the morning. Who's going to propose marriage early in the morning? Once you're done, have breakfast first. We'll go after breakfast."
Wang Lang rolled his eyes and said, I'm afraid this stupid son is confused and doesn't understand the rules. At this time, people don't necessarily get up. Even if they get up and haven't eaten breakfast, can they still receive them happily?
"Okay, dad, hurry up, Xiaoda has done it too." Wang Dahu added silently.
"I know, I know."
Wang Xiaoda didn't do much to deal with it. In the past, he just showed up and stopped taking over. He just smiled slightly and was very happy in his heart. His eldest brother was also happy.
When it comes to proposing a marriage, it is natural to make an agreement with the girl’s parents in advance, otherwise they cannot be caught off guard.
Since Zhou Shou had agreed, he didn't want to make it harder for them to get the music score. The two families were familiar with each other, and the marriage proposal was just a formality.
"Dad, we are so familiar, why do you still need this screen?" Zhou Yan said coquettishly.
They all got up early in the morning. Her father was used to getting up early, and she couldn't sleep because it was a special day.
But just after she had finished packing, she saw that her father had someone move a screen over, and it was right in the lobby, separated from the two sides, and it was not transparent at all!
"This is the rule! You can sit behind the screen when the time comes, or you can stay in the room. It's your choice."
Zhou Shou is not an old-fashioned person, but this has been like this since ancient times. How can a girl meet a man carelessly without having a relationship with him?
"Okay, then I'd better sit behind the screen!" Zhou Yan also knew what was right and wrong at this time, so she had better listen to her father! After all, it was only for this day.
Zhou Yan had no mother, so Zhou Cun's family came over, and Mrs. Lin treated her as a female member of the bride's family, just in time to entertain Mrs. Wang.
Because she was afraid that Yan Yan would be shy alone, Mrs. Lin came over early to talk to Zhou Yan.
"Are Yanyan nervous?" Lin asked with a smile.
Lin vaguely remembered that she was very solemn when she married Zhou Cun. Although Zhou Cun was not rich at that time, he did his best.
He and his eldest brother depended on each other. When he came to propose marriage, he invited his distant relative's uncle to come with him. At that time, she also hid behind the screen and watched him solemnly propose marriage to her father.
"Don't be nervous. Daddy has agreed. This time it won't be difficult for Brother Big Tiger. My uncle and aunt and I are also familiar with each other, so there is nothing to be nervous about."
Zhou Yan said with a smile that she was really not nervous. Maybe it was because she was not like other people who would be nervous if she married a stranger whom she had only met a few times. But she had met Brother Dahu many times.
They are also very familiar with each other.
There are also uncles and aunts, they have all met and talked to each other, so there is nothing to be nervous about.
"That's good, but if you say this now, you will definitely be nervous when the Wang family comes over." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.
She was like this before. She was familiar with Zhou Cun and his eldest brother, and had talked to him many times. At that time, she thought she wouldn't be nervous, but when they came in, she became very nervous, maybe because of excitement.
Bar!
"Let's see then! I'm not nervous now." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Zhou Yan and Lin were talking in the room, while Zhou Shou and Zhou Cun were talking outside.
"I didn't expect that the eldest brother would agree so quickly." Zhou Cun said with a smile.
Today is a good day, and he smiles.
"Hey! What should I do if I don't agree? The two children like each other, and that girl Yan Yan is so stubborn. She will definitely not be willing to marry anyone else in the future, and she will blame me. So I can't bear it, so I will simply let them go."
The worst thing is, just send someone to protect Yan Yan for the rest of his life as I said before.
"Yes, I can see it. When two people are together, they really need to have feelings, otherwise they will not be happy for the rest of their lives." Zhou Cun himself is an example. He will definitely not want his niece to marry blindly.
.
Without saying a few words, the boy came over to report that the Wang family was coming from outside.
"Let them in!"
"Let's not go out to greet her. After all, we are marrying daughters, so we should be more reserved." Zhou Shou said arrogantly.
"Yes, brother is right." Zhou Cun also smiled and nodded.
"Ahem, look, are my clothes neat? Is my hair messy?" Zhou Shou asked again.
"It's neat and tidy, and the hair is not messy." Zhou Cun said quickly.
"Well, that's good. I don't care about this. It's just that as Yan Yan's family, we have to be more serious and can't let the Wang family look down on us." Zhou Shou explained sheepishly.
What else could Zhou Cun say, he could only smile and nod politely. His eldest brother's duplicity has never changed.
"Dada, I'm a little nervous." Wang Dahu said softly.
As soon as he entered this door, he began to feel nervous. He began to think about whether his clothes were appropriate today and whether he had done well in Changlefang recently... He was thinking wildly and didn't know what questions Uncle Zhou would ask.
"Why are you nervous? Brother, just act as usual. If Uncle Zhou asks anything, just answer him honestly. The only thing is that you must respect Zhou Yan and protect Zhou Yan at all times."
As long as your family members feel that you particularly like their daughter, rely on their girl in everything, and respect your elders, there will be no problem.
"Okay, okay." Wang Dahu tried to calm down.
What Dada said is definitely right, he is so smart. And it is not difficult for him. He respects Uncle Zhou in his heart, and loves Yan Yan very much, so he will definitely protect her.
