Chun Yu, who had remained calm in the face of gangsters and bullies, was now fidgety by a small hairpin, "Thank you, thank you, auntie, I like it very much."
"As long as you like it." Mother Yuan pushed the cakes that Aunt Ci had just brought to her, and while urging her to eat, she asked her about the situation at home, "You can just talk about it, and I will listen to it, and I can come to follow you in the future.
Let’s discuss the matter with the in-laws.”
Chun Yu was an honest person, and he explained the situation of his parents, brother and sister-in-law at home, and his previous experience of breaking off the engagement. At the end, he said to Yuan's mother very sincerely: "I know that my family background is not good, and this is completely unworthy of Xudong...
…”
Yuan Xudong thought she was going to say "Forget it if you don't agree" again, so he quickly interrupted her and said: "The Yuan family is not a big family, and they don't pay attention to family background!"
Mother Yuan also echoed: "Silly boy, I don't care about this either. As long as your character is good, that's more important than anything else."
"I don't want to give up." Chunyu smiled and looked into Yuan Xudong's eyes, tears flashing in her eyes, "I want to say, if my aunt is not satisfied with me in any way, please don't veto it, please give me a chance, I am willing
Work hard for this relationship."
When Yuan Xudong heard her words, his nose felt sore and he almost shed tears.
This is the relationship he wants. Two people holding hands and working together, not one-sided effort, no complaints or scheming.
Everyone is under the sun, open and aboveboard.
Yuan Xudong held her hand and said solemnly: "Chun Yu, let's work hard together."
Yuan's mother cried together with the two young men. Cigu was crying and laughing beside her and wiping her tears, "Why are you crying? We won't cry. The young master has finally found a wife. We should be happy."
"Yes, I should be happy." Mother Yuan choked even more and held Chun Yu's hand, "Son, don't say anything anymore. My aunt has fallen in love with you as my daughter-in-law. As long as you are willing, the door of the Yuan family will be open to you at any time.
"
"Old madam, there is something wrong with what you said." Cigu corrected her with a smile.
Yuan's mother was puzzled: "Why is there a problem? Please tell me."
"When a man and a woman get married, the man must take the initiative first. If we don't come to propose marriage, how can the girl nod in agreement? You can't come by yourself and say, so and so, I am willing to marry you. You can carry the sedan chair to pick them up."
Cigu's tone was lively and playful, which made Yuan's mother laugh.
"What you said makes sense. I was the one who was abrupt." Mother Yuan raised her head and looked at Chun Yu with a smile, "I'm going to find a matchmaker now, and when everything is ready, I'll go to your house to propose marriage, okay?"
"Now, now?" Chunyu couldn't react for a moment, "Isn't it a bit fast?"
"How soon is this?" Mother Yuan stretched out her hand to help her count the days, "You see, we have to propose a marriage first, and wait for the in-laws to agree before we can confirm the wedding date. After setting the wedding date, there are still a lot of trivial matters to be busy with. Waiting for everything
If you're busy, it won't be until autumn that you can actually welcome your new daughter-in-law to your door. Isn't that soon?"
Chun Yu silently estimated, "It doesn't seem to be very fast."
"That's right!"
When the new daughter-in-law was obtained, Mother Yuan's smile was gone, and she excitedly called on everyone to work: "Don't just stand there stupidly, Fuwang, go to the town and hire a matchmaker. She needs to be reliable, Ci Gu.
You accompany me to the accounting room to count the dowry."
"What about me?" Yuan Xudong asked.
Mother Yuan gave him a look of hatred, "Can't you accompany your wife to the street to buy some jewelry, clothes and so on? Look at Meng Yuan, he is so good at making his wife happy, can't you imitate that?"
Yuan Xudong: "I won't learn from him, he has no future."
It was a year after they got married that I kidnapped my daughter-in-law.
How could he compare to him? He confessed his love yesterday, met his parents today, went to the mother-in-law's house to propose marriage tomorrow, and would be able to hold his wife to bed in a short time.
The more Yuan Xudong thought about it, the more proud he became, "No, I have to write a letter to Meng Yuan and tell him the good news."
By the way, I mocked him severely again and avenged him for being drunk at the wedding.
Meng Yuan didn't know that he was being remembered again. He was sitting in front of the porch helping Shen Qingqing peel fruit.
Xiangcheng has a hot and humid climate and is rich in fruits, which are available all year round. They not only taste good, but are also cheap.
Shen Qingqing has been coveting them for a long time, but she has been busy dealing with the Chen family's affairs in the past few days and has no time to go shopping. As soon as she got some free time today, she couldn't wait to go to the market to buy fresh goods.
Potpourri soaked in water and added with honey and lemon juice, sour and sweet, refreshing and quenching thirst; red papaya mixed with red dates and boiled in milk, it is beautiful and delicious; mashed bananas are added with eggs, and fried into pancakes with milk, which is soft and sweet, a little
It's not greasy at all; as for mangoes, pineapples, etc., I just hold them and gnaw them.
Meng Qixue, who loves sweets the most, was overjoyed. She ate a sip of this and drank a sip of that. Even before dinner, she was already burping.
Even so, the little fat claw couldn't take any time off and quietly scooped up the banana cake on the plate, but was caught on the spot by Shen Qingqing, who was very aware of the situation.
"My dear, if you eat so much at one time, are you preparing to burst your stomach?"
Meng Qixue blinked her eyes and said with an innocent look, "No, I ate it for my second brother. He must be very sad when he is not here and can't eat such delicious cakes. I have to eat more for him."
Shen Qingqing: "..."
It sounds very touching, and it would be even more touching if you could wipe away the saliva from the corner of your mouth.
"Your second brother's mother helped him eat, so you don't have to worry." Shen Qingqing patted her shoulder generously.
"Oh." Meng Qixue sighed regretfully, and silently advised herself in her heart: Meng Qixue, you are a big child now, you cannot be greedy.
The result of helping Meng Qiyu eat was that Shen Qingqing was also full. The mother and daughter sat neatly in the corridor and burped. Finally, Meng Yuan grabbed one by one and dragged them to the street for a walk.
Xiangcheng is still lively in the evening, with wonton sellers, candied haws-glut sellers, and sesame seed cake sellers... The hawking sounds of each shop are loud and lively.
Meng Yuan bought bunches of candied haws for each of the mother and son, and walked slowly along the alley.
Halfway through, I came across a stall painting small portraits. The stall was crowded with people and the road was blocked.
The person painting the picture is a young boy of thirteen or fourteen. He is as tall and thin as a young tree. His appearance is not very impressive, but he has a unique temperament, like the bamboo growing at the foot of the mountain.
One can't take his eyes away.
The young man was arguing with a customer, his thin spine straightened, "We agreed that a painting would cost thirty cents, and the painting has been completed, why don't you want it?"
"Your drawings are not good-looking. Look at how thick your waist is!" The fat man argued with him with his hands on his hips.
"But you obviously look like this, and I didn't draw it wrong." The young man grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly and pursed his lips into a straight line.
People around burst into laughter, and a passerby who knew the customer teased: "Zhang Laosan, don't you know how thick your waist is? How can you blame others?"
