On December 3, 1965, more than ten days passed before Su Tianbei won the Xinghe District Chapter.
On this Friday, Su Tianyu followed his usual practice and returned home with some of his uncle's favorite snacks.
As soon as he entered the door, Su Tianyu saw Miao Miao and his second uncle fighting.
"Why should I travel so far to visit them?!" Second Uncle Su said angrily: "If they want to marry my daughter, do they have to be polite? Do they have to come to propose marriage first?"
"It's not that people don't come to the door, it's because of the current situation that it's inconvenient for Meng Jun to come to Longcheng." Su Miaomiao argued: "Dad, the Qing Dynasty is dead, can you be more open-minded?"
"Fart!" Second Uncle Su raised his eyebrows and cursed: "Is this an enlightened or unenlightened thing? When I marry my daughter, I have to come to discuss it with them. Why am I so worthless?"
"Okay, can you please stop acting like you're having a debate competition whenever you two meet?" Su Tianbei sat aside and persuaded speechlessly: "It's such a big weekend, why don't we just get along?"
"Shut up, what's the matter with you! You've become the president," Uncle Su scolded and asked, "Are you trying to teach me a lesson?"
"Yes, you are the father, you have the final say." Su Tianbei didn't dare to argue with him, he just sat next to him drinking tea and scrolling through his phone boredly.
Su Miaomiao pursed her red lips: "Okay, if you think I don't understand etiquette, then I'll ask Meng Jun to send someone from his family over to carry two carts of betrothal gifts for you. Is that okay?"
"Look at how anxious you are!" The second uncle pointed at Su Miaomiao and lectured: "Guimengjun is so good that you can't wait even a day, right?"
Su Tianyu scratched his nose, put the snacks he bought on the table, bent down and sat down and said: "Stop arguing, can I just say something fair?"
Everyone was silent, and Uncle Su picked up the tea cup.
"Actually, my sister is right. It's not that Guimengjun doesn't understand etiquette, but that he really can't come." Su Tianyu softly persuaded his second uncle: "Last time I came, I almost didn't show up at Chijun's place.
Risking his life. The current situation in Longcheng is so complicated. If something really happens to him when he comes here, how can we explain it to the Gui family? And Dabai also said when he came back, when my sister went to the Gui family, what happened over there?
People are quite polite... If we plan to marry over there, then don’t bother with these gifts. We all need to understand each other during this special period."
"Gui Mengjun gave you money!" Second Uncle Su asked with a sideways glance, "Can't you tell the difference between inside and outside?!"
Su Tianyu looked at him speechlessly: "Are you menopausal now? Why are you coming at me again? I buy you good wine and good food. Can you stop scolding me?"
Su Tianbei also tried to persuade him after hearing this: "You can do it, don't go against these juniors! When you are really old, what will these people do if they really pull out the oxygen tube for you? They will make you offend all the time.
By then, you won’t even be able to find the murderer.”
"Bang!" The second uncle picked up the seat cushion and smashed it directly: "I've turned against you! You can pull it out now!"
"Ha ha!"
Su Tianbei stood up with a smile and ran out of the door: "Mom, go and see him quickly. I think the old man is going crazy."
As soon as she finished speaking, the second aunt stepped in and shouted at the second uncle: "It's just this little thing and it's not over yet? Either you don't let her get along with Guimeng Jun. If you really want to get married, you can
Don't pick those useless ones! What age is it, and people with eight sedans are really allowed to come over to deliver the betrothal gift? It's so far away, and the form is so complicated, if something happens, aren't you dumbfounded?! You want to think about it?
Let’s continue talking, it doesn’t matter who comes over, we mainly want to see how they are and whether they can be good to my daughter.”
"applaud!"
Su Miaomiao shouted excitedly: "Look at Sister Liu, she speaks very well!"
"Go away, no matter how big or small." The second aunt slapped Miaomiao on the shoulder, sat next to her and said, "You and I, it's not enough to refuse. The child is grown up now, is it useful for you to worry about it every day?
?She just won't marry Gui Mengjun, but marry a local family. The couple lives with the door behind closed doors. Do you know if it's sweet or if they quarrel every day? How can you move there and keep an eye on her every day? I don't know in the past two years.
What's wrong? The older you get, the more shit you get into. Are you menopausal?!"
One thing was said, the second aunt said these two words very strongly, which made the second uncle speechless.
Yes, whether the elderly are willing to admit it or not, the children have grown up and will inevitably live independently in the future. No parent can accompany them throughout their lives, and they have to walk their own path.
The second uncle is not a stubborn person, he is just a little bit reluctant to let go of his daughter, especially after Tiannan's accident.
Men's emotions are reserved, and the second uncle cannot be like his mother, who drags the third sister to talk privately and nag her every day, so he is very resistant to the third sister's desire to marry far away.
The second aunt's words had an effect. The second uncle sat in the living room in silence for a long time, smoking a cigarette, waving his hands and saying: "I'm too lazy to care about you, just do whatever you like."
That night, the second uncle drank eight taels of white wine by himself. It was definitely too much, but he didn't lose his composure.
Early the next morning.
When the second uncle got up and walked in the yard, he saw the third sister preparing to go to the association and immediately called out: "Miao Miao!"
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"If you want to go, you should buy some gifts in advance. Decide on a time and our whole family will go there." The second uncle paused and said, "I'll go back and have a look as well."
After Su Miaomiao was startled for a moment, she immediately ran over happily, coquettishly took her second uncle's arm and said, "I'm just telling you! How can you, a military elite who has seen the world, be as unenlightened as an old antique?"
Woolen cloth?"
The second uncle looked at her and did not say angry words like before. He only replied softly: "You are my daughter. Even if I suffer, I hope you can live well. Xiaogui is not bad, she is quite good."
As soon as these words came out, the third sister immediately lost her guard. In her impression, her father was always that heroic man with a loud voice and average qualities, but who could start a business from scratch in Dragon City and support a family of fifty or sixty people.
Today, when she looked at Uncle Su, she suddenly felt that this hero was really old.
…
The matter of the third sister's marriage far away was completely settled after Second Uncle Su nodded.
In the next two days, while Miaomiao was busy with work, she kept going to the mall for shopping. Not only did she have to bring gifts to the Gui family, but she also wanted to buy some new clothes for her parents and relatives who were traveling with them.
of.
After all, going out has to be more formal, and the second uncle and second aunt really don’t have high requirements for material life. They rarely go to the mall to buy things, and the clothes they wear are all bought by their children.
.
When the Su family was preparing for the blind date, Su Tianyu also took the time to meet with Yu Ming.
Within the Kiwanis Club.
Su Tianyu asked with a smile: "My family is going to Lao Sanjiang to meet my in-laws. How about we go together?"?
