Man Bao thought about it for a while and thought it was a good idea. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll discuss it with Bai Shan?"
Qian was just sighing and asking her what she thought about Bai Shan, but she actually replied like this.
She was startled and asked, "What did you say?"
Although Man Bao's face turned red, he still said: "I'll ask Bai Shan to see if he is willing. I think it shouldn't be difficult. He is not a pedantic person..."
Qian was speechless for a while, then she asked, "Are you sure Bai Shan is willing to marry you?"
Man Bao hesitated for a moment and then said: "I think I am willing..."
If she didn't want to, Man Bao pouted and snorted in her heart: Then she would ignore him from now on, maybe for a year?
Qian then understood that this child had feelings for her. She sighed, touched her head and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll talk to your father."
Man Bao looked up at her mother, and Qian said: "Marriage is an important matter that is decided by the parents. How old are you and Bai Shancai? The important matter of having children has to be taken care of by adults."
Man Bao wanted to speak, but Qian stopped her mouth and said: "Don't be stubborn with me. I know you are smart, but the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has never been easy to get along with if they are smart. This kind of thing needs to be discussed by adults in the first place."
That’s all.”
Man Bao nodded in understanding.
However, she still couldn't help but tell Bai Shan, quietly of course.
Bai Shan learned about the marriage proposal from his grandmother last night, so he blushed a little when he saw Man Bao this early in the morning.
Hearing Man Bao talk about her father's requirements and concerns, he said without thinking: "Then let this son's surname be Xia in the future."
Man Bao asked, "Can you decide this?"
"If we get married, then I will be in charge of the family. Otherwise, how can we start a family?" Bai Shan said: "Since I am in charge of the family, of course I can make the decision."
Man Bao glanced at him and said, "In our family, my father always listens to my mother."
Bai Shan paused for a while and then said: "My cousin's family is all listening to my cousin's family. It is also said in the book that the male is the master of the house and the woman is the master of the house."
Man Bao insisted, "My mother is in charge of my family's money, and I can also make money."
Bai Shan: "I can make money too."
"You don't make as much as me."
Bai Shan:……
Bai Shan was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
After Bai Erlang bought something, he turned around and found that the two of them were still standing there, so he picked up the things and came over, "What are you talking about that hasn't been finished for so long?"
They both turned to look at him and said angrily: "What does it have to do with you?"
Bai Erlang's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Am I provoking you?"
That was not the case. Bai Shan thought about it briefly and apologized for offending him.
Bai Erlang didn't want to accept it, so he snorted and turned away.
Man Bao also snorted at Bai Shan, turned around and followed Bai Erlang.
Bai Shan:……
When Bai Erlang heard this snort, he was no longer angry with Man Bao, only Bai Shan. He stretched out his hand and handed two packages of the snacks he had just bought to Man Bao, and asked: "What are you arguing about?"
Man Bao said: "Don't worry about adults' matters."
Bai Erlang was so shocked that he stopped for a moment. He looked at Man Bao in disbelief, "You, what did you say?"
Bai Shan followed behind and heard it, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
You know, Bai Erlang is a little older than both of them.
Man Bao stopped and looked back at the two of them, "We can't leave yet, sir. He's still waiting for us at home."
Bai Erlang got lucky and glanced back and forth between the two of them. He roughly guessed what they were talking about just now, so he started to whisper back and forth in their ears: "Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words...
"
Bai Shan and Man Bao:......
When they arrived outside the alley, Daji was waiting there with the carriage, while Zhuang Dalang was sitting in the carriage. When he saw the three people from the carriage window, he shook his head and lowered the curtain.
We obviously have some snacks at home, but we have to buy them from outside. Even though my husband is tired of eating the snacks we often eat at home, we still have to buy fresh and interesting snacks from outside as a gift.
Obviously I just wanted to play.
The three of them didn't even get in the car when they arrived, but just carried the newly bought snacks into the alley.
Daji took the horse and followed behind.
After knocking on the door, Mrs. Zhuang welcomed them in with great enthusiasm.
Mr. Zhuang is teaching his grandchildren to read. Mr. Zhuang has two sons and one daughter. Except for Zhuang Jian, the other two are still young. The youngest daughter is five years old and the second son is seven years old.
So the main thing was to teach Zhuang Ji'an. When he saw Man Bao and the others coming in, he put down his book with a smile and stood up and walked out, "Are you here?"
The three of them handed the snack bags in their hands to Sister-in-law Zhuang, and Dalang Zhuang led them forward to salute their husband, while Daji took the things from the carriage down.
On top of that are gift boxes prepared by the three families. Because the two pieces of silk and satin given by Man Bao came from the palace, this year's gift seems to be the heaviest to her.
Fortunately, she is the senior sister, so it is normal for the two junior brothers below her not to cross her.
Seeing so many things, Sister-in-law Zhuang smiled even better and asked her second son to quickly make tea for them.
Manbao took out three bags of tea leaves from a box and gave them to Mr. Zhuang, saying: "Sir, these are the tea leaves given to us by Taohe from the mountain. His uncle roasted them. They are a bit bitter. Do you want to try them?"
Mr. Zhuang took it and looked at it for a while, smiled and nodded, "It smells pretty good, so let's make a pot."
He asked his grandson to boil water instead of soaking it.
Mrs. Zhuang warmly invited them to have lunch here.
Four people agreed.
After making tea, Mr. Zhuang asked them to sit down and talk in the study. Seeing his grandchildren poking their heads in the yard, he went to get two packs of snacks, took the children into the study, and opened the snacks for them to eat.
Also let them sit and listen.
Although Bai Dalang and others have studied with Mr. Zhuang since childhood, they are not very familiar with the Zhuang family.
They vaguely knew that the relationship between Mr. Zhuang and Senior Brother Zhuang was not particularly good, but Senior Brother Zhuang seemed to be quite filial, but Mr. Zhuang did not go home often, and Senior Brother Zhuang did not often go to Qili Village to see Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang picked two snacks for his grandson and granddaughter. Then he looked at Bai Dalang and said warmly: "I heard that you were sick. Are you cured now?"
Bai Dalang took one look at Man Bao and said, "It's already healed, but it still needs to be nursed back to health."
Man Bao said: "Sir, he can't eat greasy food. I guess he can only eat some vegetables and white steamed buns today."
Bai Dalang:......
He didn't think it was anything before, but now he really feels that taboos are a very uncomfortable thing.
Mr. Zhuang knew that what was said outside was true, and that Bai Dalang's illness was really cured by Manbao.
He smiled at Bai Dalang and said, "Getting rid of an illness is like a string of silkworms. You can bear with it any longer."
Bai Erlang and Bai Shan nodded in agreement.
After Mr. Zhuang asked the four children, he pointed to Zhuang Ji'an and Bai Dalang and said, "This is Ji'an, my eldest grandson."
Bai Dalang didn't understand why his husband went out of his way to introduce him, but he still stood up and bowed to Zhuang Jian. He had never bowed before, so he didn't have to worry about seniority, so he was called by his peers.
Zhuang Ji'an only called him Mr. Bai, which was very polite.
