Chapter 195 It’s time to get engaged (please subscribe)
When they heard that their future relatives were back, Li Min and Chen Yingping on the sofa straightened their bodies and tidied their clothes a little.
After all, it was their first meeting, so Li Min and Chen Yingping were a little nervous. They didn't know if the in-laws would get along well with each other, but they often heard from their daughter that they seemed to get along well with each other.
When Lin Lu just walked to the door, Zou Wanrou opened the door. Just after finishing the meal, she went back home to pick up Xia Wen and her two daughters. After all, she had an appointment to meet her future in-laws today, and the old mother was also very nervous.
Yes, I brought a lot of things with me when I went home.
"elder brother!"
The two younger sisters first appeared in front of them and threw themselves on Lin Lu's lap. Now that the weather was cold, they were dressed like two little rice dumplings. They were chubby and very cute.
After hugging their brother, the sisters rushed home and were about to hug their sister when they discovered two strange elders on the sofa.
"Wow, such cute little girls, and they are twins!"
Chen Yingping, who is also an old mother, immediately became a little bright-eyed. She liked children very much, but it was a pity that she was not in good health at the time and gave birth to Li Xingruo but she did not give birth. She saw two little girls looking at them curiously and timidly squeezing in.
In the arms of my daughter, there are girls who look very much like my daughter.
"Sister, who are they..."
"They are my sister's parents!"
Seeing Aunt Zou and Uncle Wen coming in with things at the door, Li Xingruo also stood up and walked up. Li Min and Chen Yingping on the sofa also stood up and turned to look in the direction of the door.
"I'm sorry, brother and sister-in-law, I had a meal for lunch and came back late... eh?"
"...Eh?!"
For a moment, the living room fell into a strange silence. Three pairs of eyes widened, and their expressions were all wonderful.
Seeing the reactions of both parents, Li Xingruo and Lin Lu also blinked.
"Mom, do you know each other?"
"..."
After checking carefully for a while, the parents on both sides couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere instantly became lively again.
"Mother Xiaolin, it turns out you are Lao Xu's colleague!!"
"Haha, what a coincidence! It turns out that my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are Lao Xu's children! It's not like the same family doesn't live in the same house! What a coincidence!"
"Yes, yes, I was confused at first glance!"
"If I had known that the two brothers and sister-in-law were Lao Xu's children, I should have asked Lao Xu to arrange for us to have a meal and meet each other."
"Fate is fate."
Except for the three parties involved, Wen Shu, Lin Lu and Li Xingruo were all confused. After they explained, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate.
However, Uncle Li was a little embarrassed. Who knew that trying to attract someone else's marriage at a banquet would lead to his own daughter? Isn't this just a case of enjoying yourself?
Fortunately, Zou Wanrou didn't take the joke at the banquet seriously, but she was a little lucky that she went out of her way to praise Xiao Ruo. I think the future in-laws will still have a very good impression of each other.
When the parents of both parties arrived, Lin Lu gave up the main seat and sat on a small stool with Li Xingruo to chat with the elders. Zou Wanrou and Xia Wen made tea for Li Min and Chen Yingping.
Under the introduction of their respective children, the parents of both parties have officially met each other. Li Min and Chen Yingping are older, and they refer to each other as brother, sister-in-law, and sister. After the incident at the banquet, the two parties now know each other and have topics to talk about, and the chat is particularly lively.
network.
Lin Lu and Li Xingruo breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their parents had a good conversation. The two families were really destined!
"I have always heard from Ruoruo that Xiaolin's mother is very kind to her and even cooks for her on weekends. We also thought we would come over this time to express our gratitude!"
"That's right. We are all mothers. It's not easy for Xiaoruo to go out by herself. I have to thank her. If Xiaoruo hadn't tutored Xiaolu before, how could his grades have improved so much."
Lin Lu: "..."
Li Xingruo: "..."
Ga.
Isn’t this completely exposed?
Fortunately, Li Min and Chen Yingping seemed to have expected it, so they didn't say anything. They just laughed and continued on Lin Road. Although they were not old, they were very sensible and capable.
Not to be outdone, Zou Wanrou praised Lao Li's daughter in every possible way for how delicious her cooking was, how gentle she was, and how considerate she was.
The two parties exchanged compliments. If someone didn't know better, they would have thought that Li Xingruo was Zou Wanrou's daughter and Lin Lu was the son of the old Li family.
Of course, after all, this was the first time the in-laws met, and the main thing was to get to know each other better. We didn’t talk too deeply about the matter between Lin Lu and Li Xingruo, but we would tacitly understand each other’s attitudes towards this matter.
In the evening, the two families went to a nearby teahouse to have dinner together.
People had to drive during the day and people did not dare to drink. They did not drive at night. Uncle Wen also brought a bottle of Moutai and the two men drank happily.
Sure enough, for Chinese people, the dinner table is the easiest way to get closer to each other.
After the meal and drinks, as the points of common ground between them increased, the parents of both parties also talked more deeply, and began to inquire about things like betrothal gifts, dowries, etc. in a roundabout way.
This topic is very sensitive! Many couples ended up breaking up because of this incident. I heard the parents of both parties talking more and more deeply. What this kind of thing requires is mutual consideration, empathy, and speaking.
It sounds simple, but not many families can actually do it. Lin Lu and Li Xingruo were also worried at the dinner table.
Fortunately, both parents are very open-minded people, which is related to each other's family concept of marriage. Whether it is Zou Wanrou, Xia Wen, or Li Min and Chen Yingping, they pay more attention to freedom and equality between their children than these material things.
, a harmonious marriage relationship, no matter how much the betrothal gift or dowry is, will eventually be given back to Lin Lu and Li Xingruo's small family.
After testing this consensus first, it became very pleasant for both parents to talk about this topic. To put it bluntly, both parents were satisfied with each other's children and were willing to work together to promote this marriage.
Only then did Zou Wanrou jokingly mention the advice Lao Li gave her at the banquet.
"Originally, I said that this brat hasn't graduated yet, and he doesn't even know how long he can wait to get married. Why don't we do what my brother and sister-in-law said at noon and settle the matter as soon as possible. Let's find a time to arrange the marriage for them.
?”
Zou Wanrou was not joking, she just told the truth in a joking way. Let’s not talk about her family Lin Lu. My old mother really likes this girl Li Xingruo. Although she is a few years older than Lin Lu, this is not a problem at all.
, no matter it is Li Xingruo's character, appearance or harmony with this family, she can't find any fault at all.
It is said that the mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles away. Although her son is still with her, his life events are also the things that the old mother cares about most. This girl Xiaoruo is really a treasure. It can be seen from their relationship with Lin Lu during this period.
How big the change was. The influence of a good wife on a man was extremely huge. She didn't want to miss this daughter-in-law who liked her even more than Lin Lu.
Thinking about how rare it is to have a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law who can see eye to eye in the world, if Lin Lu dared to bully Xiao Ruo, she would have broken his legs first without the help of Liang Xi's in-laws.
For Li Min and Chen Yingping, their daughter's marriage is also their biggest concern. After all, her parents can't stay with her forever. The reason why they have been urging her to find a partner is because they hope that when she is not around,
There is someone who can take care of her on their behalf, be considerate of her, and love her.
Now that the candidate has been selected, whether it is Lin Lu's appearance, personality or affection for his daughter, the parents are very satisfied with this future son-in-law. Although he is a bit younger, his abilities are not small at all, and he is quite mature and kind.
Trustworthy, I also met Lin Lu's family when I came here. Seeing that my daughter could get along harmoniously with their family, and seeing Zou Wanrou's recognition and love for her daughter, the last worries of my father and mother were put aside.
Some people may say that there may be more choices in the future. Is it too early to decide on this matter so quickly? But in life, only by being content can you always be happy. Too many choices and greed will only lead to the trap of 'wait a little longer, the next update'.
In the endless cycle of good things, for the obsession of perfection in the heart, what you get in the end may not be what you originally envisioned.
There are always some genuine emotions that will become more valuable as time goes by. Similarly, there will also be a lot of happiness missed because of that moment of hesitation.
Hearing Aunt Zou's words about the engagement, Li Xingruo, who was eating his meal obediently, became nervous and panicked for a moment. He lowered his head and didn't know where to look. But the next second, his little hand was held by Lin Lu, although it was just holding hands.
, but Li Xingruo could feel that Lin Lu's heartbeat was as fast as hers at this moment.
My heart suddenly started to beat loudly, and I looked at my parents beside me with some confusion.
In fact, the response from Li Min and Chen Yingping came much faster than she expected.
I had this idea in my mind, but when I saw Zou Wanrou taking the initiative to bring it up, the old couple nodded repeatedly and said, "I think it's okay! Let's settle the matter as soon as possible. If you are serious about what you say, sister-in-law, then we agree with it."
!”
"How can this engagement be a joke? Brother and sister-in-law, what I say is serious! I watched Lin Lu and Xiaoruo get together. I can clearly see their feelings. As long as brother and sister-in-law agree, I can give them to you now.
Lao Xu sent a WeChat message asking him to introduce a matchmaker who can choose a date to get engaged."
"Hey! This is really how it is done! I am also inexperienced. I don't even know where to find a matchmaker. My sister-in-law reminded me of this!"
"Dad...! Mom...! Where are you from now...!"
Seeing that her parents actually agreed to the engagement invitation proposed by Aunt Zou, the big stone in Li Xingruo's heart fell to the ground with a thud. Oh, it didn't fall to the ground, but fell into the dye vat, instantly dyeing her pretty face.
Got blushing.
"You and Xiao Lin also live together, so this should be done..."
"I, I'm going to the bathroom."
The little girl was so happy and ashamed that she couldn't sit still in the private room and ran outside with a blushing face.
"Uncle Li, let me toast you!"
Lin Lu picked up the wine glass and stood up, solemnly toasting Li Min.
"I'm going to the bathroom too. Uncle Li and Auntie, you guys talk first."
"Okay, look at this girl, she is so happy..."
Li Xingruo, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, really wanted to rush in again, and explained righteously that he was not very happy, it was just an engagement, an engagement... hehe hehe...!
Seeing Lin Lu coming out, she quickly suppressed the smile on her lips.
"Didn't Sister Xingruo go to the bathroom?"
"...Go now!"
After walking only two steps, Lin Lu rushed up behind her, hugging her and jumping three feet high with excitement.
"Sister Xingruo! Did you hear that Uncle Li and the others agreed that we are engaged?"
"Didn't hear it, didn't hear it..."
"Then I'll come out and talk to you!"
The two of them left the restaurant holding hands and went for a walk along the Anjiang River together. In fact, from the moment they left the restaurant to this day, their minds were still blank in pink.
Lin Lu pulled her to sit on a stone chair, picked her up and sat on his lap.
He opened his mouth, looked into her eyes and hesitated to speak. She was also unable to say a word, probably because there was so much happiness and excitement in each other's hearts that they suddenly blocked the words and didn't know where to say it.
Get up.
Since you can't say it, then don't say it.
Li Xingruo closed her eyes, Lin Lu hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her.
The winter night was cold and windy, but at this moment, they were immersed in this silent, mysterious and beautiful midsummer.
After the two left the private room, they didn't know what their parents talked about inside. However, when they got the call and went back, Li Xingruo's legs were weak. This continuous kiss of more than an hour broke their record.
"Ruoruo, why is your face so red?!"
"Drink, get drunk, go up top."
Li Xingruo blushed while observing the expressions and conversations of the elders, and suddenly regretted a little. He had known better not to sneak out earlier, but now he was extremely curious about what the elders had just talked about, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Both Li Min and Chen Yingping had drank. Naturally, they would not go back to Liangxi tonight. Lin Lu had also booked a hotel for his father-in-law and mother-in-law early, and they were also nearby, so he took them with him.
Follow them to check in.
"Hey, how can Xiaolin book such a good hotel? Don't be extravagant in your life!"
After talking about the engagement, when the two elders looked at Lin Lu, they seemed to be looking at their half-son.
"It's okay, Uncle Li, it's a rare occasion! Uncle Li and Auntie will have a good rest tonight. I will take you for a walk in southern Jiangsu tomorrow. The maple leaves in Tianping Mountain have been blooming beautifully recently. Ruoruo and I originally planned to go see them this week.
Yes, let’s go together tomorrow!”
"Okay, I haven't visited Tianping Mountain in many years. When I fell in love with your Aunt Chen, we were on the mountain..."
"I'm so annoyed, you damn old man! You drink so much when you can't drink, and then you start mumbling and talking about anything after drinking!"
Not to mention, the hotel Xiao Lin booked was very popular with his uncle. Lao Li had never stayed in such a good hotel in his life. He wanted to take his wife with him to reminisce about his youth, but he ended up entering the hotel room, bang.
He fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Fortunately, Lin Lu and Li Xingruo didn't drink much, but they were very high-spirited. They exchanged gold coins with each other and chatted with each other until midnight, then hugged each other and fell asleep contentedly...
