What's wrong with our family? What's wrong with Xiping?
From a family like ours, with Xiping’s head, appearance, and ability, what girl can’t be worthy of it?”
When Gao Haining heard this, he waved his hands hurriedly.
In his mind, a friend he grew up with would be good anywhere, and would be more than enough to match an educated youth from the town.
"Uncle, just tell me, cousin Fengying, what do you think?"
Gao Haining was anxious. If he came over, he couldn't complete the task just by drinking.
If he fails to complete the task and goes back, will his future mother-in-law look good on him?
On weekdays, Sheng Liancheng was either working in a construction team or working in a small repair shop, and had little contact with young people.
I have only met the educated youth from the town a few times, and I don't have much impression of Zhou Qinglan.
Even though they had met just now, he, a grown man, couldn't really look at her little girl.
I had a vague impression that the little girl was quite quiet, unlike the chattering girls in the forest farm.
"Hey, if you ask me about this, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you.
Your aunt has to make the final decision regarding finding a daughter-in-law."
The male protagonist is outside and the female protagonist is inside. Sheng Liancheng is a grown man, and his thoughts are not so delicate.
He is only responsible for earning money and giving it to his wife. The rest of the work must be done by her daughter-in-law.
"Anyway, as long as the girl has good character and Xiping likes her, then we parents don't have any requirements.
The two of them live their lives together, as long as they get along well."
Sheng Liancheng glanced at his eldest son. He was twenty years old and it was time for him to think about starting a family and starting a business.
At this point, Gao Haining couldn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, listening to the chatter and laughter on the other side of the west room, I guess Aunt Sheng's family gets along quite well with a few girls.
Alas, he tried his best anyway, whether Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan can succeed depends on their luck.
So Gao Haining toasted Sheng Liancheng another glass of wine, and then went to fight with others and drink.
Everyone enjoyed this meal very happily, and by the end, there was nothing left on the table anyway.
Several young people drank some wine, and their faces were all red and their tongues were slightly stiff.
However, the person is still sober and does not go crazy crying or acting drunk.
"Hey, it's getting late, we have to go back, we have to work tomorrow.
Uncle and aunt, thank you both for the food. You both ate really well today.
When you are free another day, my uncle and aunt will come and sit at my house."
Everyone looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost eight o'clock. The meal had taken a long time. If they didn't leave, the power supply in the venue would be cut off soon.
So the young men put on their shoes and got off the ground, saying goodbye to Sheng Liancheng and his wife.
"Oh, just wait a little longer. You are usually busy, so this is a rare occasion. It doesn't matter if you sit down for a while."
In fact, West House had finished eating long ago. The girls had put away all the dishes, washed everything that needed to be washed, and were sitting there chatting.
When Zhang Shuzhen saw that the young men in the east room were leaving, she hurriedly stood up to persuade them to stay.
This is the way to treat guests. No matter how late it is, when the guest wants to leave, he must show his intention to stay.
"No, Auntie, it's getting late, Fang'er and the others should be sleepy too.
We still have life tomorrow morning, so we can't get up too late."
What's left now? People have to rest too.
Gao Haining and others smiled and said a few words to Zhang Shuzhen, and then led the girls out of Sheng's house.
Sheng Xiping and Zhang Shuzhen followed them outside the gate. Zhang Shuzhen took Zhou Qinglan's hand and gave instructions again and again.
"Daughter, it's getting dark, so be careful when you go back. When you have time, come and sit at my aunt's house, and my aunt will prepare delicious food for you."
This was Zhou Qinglan's first visit to the Sheng family. Zhang Shuzhen had a good impression of this girl, and the two of them got along quite well.
"Son, go and see Qinglan off quickly. It's late at night, and she and Fengying, our two daughters, are afraid of the dark."
Zhang Shuzhen reached out, poked Sheng Xiping, and then stuffed something into Sheng Xiping's hand.
Sheng Xiping was originally going to send it off, but he didn't have time to say anything.
At this moment, he happily agreed and escorted Zhou Qinglan and the others back with a flashlight.
Chen Wei's country is right next door, so he should just go home.
However, he and Liu Hongxia were a bit interesting, so they didn't go home directly and followed the others to the east.
On the way, everyone separated. Sheng Xiping, Gao Haining, Tang Fengying, and Zhou Qinglan turned a corner south and went straight to the Tang family.
Arriving at the gate of the Tang family, Sheng Xiping called out to Zhou Qinglan, "Qinglan, please wait a moment."
Zhou Qinglan was a little reluctant to leave at this point. When she heard Sheng Xiping calling her, she quickly turned around. "What's wrong?"
Sheng Xiping took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Qinglan.
"My mother asked me to give this to you."
What was wrapped in the handkerchief seemed to be a watch. Anyway, it looked a bit like it when I was holding it in my pocket just now.
Today is the first time Zhou Qinglan goes to the Sheng family. According to the old rules, this is equivalent to going to recognize the family, and the groom's family should give him a meeting gift.
In the past, the matchmaker was always with me, and both parties made it clear that they were going to get married. If both parties were satisfied with the marriage, then it was settled.
But Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping are in a free love relationship, and they are still at the beginning stage, so it's hard to say.
If Zhang Shuzhen gave the meeting gift to Zhou Qinglan in front of those girls, she would be afraid that Zhou Qinglan would not be able to save face and refuse to accept it.
But Zhang Shuzhen really liked this girl, so she specially asked her son to come with her to give her a gift.
Giving something to Zhou Qinglan along the way was regarded as a sign of their love.
As for why Sheng Xiping wasn't sure what was in the handkerchief, it was mainly because he and Zhou Qinglan didn't get together so quickly in his previous life.
In my previous life, I never encountered a snake when I went into the mountains, let alone treated me to dinner tonight.
The first time Zhou Qinglan went to Sheng's house, it was almost winter.
But Sheng Xiping remembered that when Zhou Qinglan went to Sheng's house, his mother also gave him something wrapped in handkerchief.
Later I found out that it was a Gemstone Flower watch made in Shanghai. It was quite beautiful.
I don’t know when Zhang Shuzhen prepared it, but she probably kept it as a gift for her daughter-in-law.
Zhou Qinglan took a look and saw that it was a brand new handkerchief with something neatly wrapped in it.
Although he couldn't tell what was inside, it was probably very valuable. So Zhou Qinglan quickly waved her hand.
"No, no, how can I ask for something from my aunt? Thank you for my aunt's kindness. I appreciate it."
Originally, Gao Haining should have gone home after sending Tang Fengying and Zhou Qinglan to the door of Tang's house.
But now Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan were talking, and Gao Haining and Tang Fengying were very curious and looked over.
Maybe Zhou Qinglan spoke a little louder, so the other two people heard her.
Tang Fengying jumped over directly, grabbed the handkerchief from Sheng Xiping, and stuffed it into Zhou Qinglan.
As for Gao Haining, he directly pulled Sheng Xiping aside.
This will give the two girls some space for Tang Fengying to persuade Zhou Qinglan.
