Chapter 211 The Good Marriage Is Determined
After the two of them bought clothes on the street, Zhang An was not in a hurry to return to Changqing.
Zhang An has no plans to go home tonight and will go back with Su Ying later.
Although there is no lively scene, he has successfully proposed to Su Ying.
Therefore, for such a big matter, you must first talk to your future parents-in-law.
When the time comes, someone from the family will come to propose marriage, but the two of them are still in the dark.
Zhang An and Su Ying returned home, and Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen had returned from get off work.
"Xiao An is here, when did he come?"
Wu Qiuping saw Su Ying coming back with Zhang An, carrying a bunch of things in her hands.
One look revealed that the two of them had gone to the street, and Zhang An was definitely not a new arrival.
"Auntie, I came here in the morning, but by then you and your uncle had already gone to work."
"You kid, you have to come here often, otherwise Auntie will talk about you."
Every time Zhang An comes over, Wu Qiuping is very happy, as if Zhang An is her son.
"Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely come over to see you and uncle often in the future. Don't think you'll find me too frequent when the time comes."
You won’t have to come here often in the future, especially after Su Ying starts school, she will basically stay in Changqing.
By then, Zhang An will definitely have to send Su Ying back to stay for a few days from time to time.
"You kid, my aunt will be happy if you live here every day. Come and eat some fruit."
After Zhang An and Su Ying came in, Wu Qiuping washed a plate of fruit and brought it over.
And it's not something common, it's a plate of lychees.
This thing is produced in several provinces next to Guizhou Province, but there are few locally grown ones and it is not easy to eat.
"Auntie, I will stay here tonight and I won't leave."
Zhang An peeled off a lychee and handed it to Su Ying next to him, smiling and talking to his future mother-in-law.
"You still want to leave at this point. I won't let you out even if you want to go back."
Knowing that Zhang An would not go back tonight, the smile on Wu Qiuping's face became even brighter.
Wu Qiuping looked at the family enjoying themselves, and it was much more lively than usual.
Because Su Ying and Zhang An are not usually around, they are the only two at home, which is very deserted.
Su Shaowen then chatted with Zhang An, talking about current affairs and politics from time to time.
Wu Qiuping took Su Ying to the guest room next to her and started cleaning up.
Usually no one lives here, and the beds are very easy to get dusty, so all the bedding and quilts are put away.
Every time Zhang An came over, Wu Qiuping would re-lay it.
"Yingying, did Xiaoan buy this bracelet for you?"
When making the bed, Wu Qiuping saw the bracelet protruding from her daughter's hand at a glance.
"Mom, Zhang An said Aunt Wang asked him to give it to me. It seems to be passed down from their family."
Su Ying stretched out her hand and handed it to her mother next to her for a look.
After all, Wu Qiuping is several decades old, so she can tell at a glance that this bracelet is extraordinary.
Looking at the look on my daughter's face, I heard about the origin of this bracelet.
It's still not clear what this means.
"Then what are your and Xiao An's plans?"
Seeing her daughter's shy look, Wu Qiuping asked, fearing that it was not what she thought.
"Mom, Zhang An discussed with me today and said that he wants to get married this year."
Su Ying didn't hide anything about her mother's questions.
She told Wu Qiuping everything Zhang An told her that morning.
But because I was shy, my voice became quieter towards the end.
Wu Qiuping was very happy to hear this. It was good that Zhang An could mention this matter first.
In her heart, she had long hoped that the matter between her daughter and Zhang An would come to an end.
These days, except for those in college, everyone stays together for just a few months.
If you met on a blind date, as long as you meet the right person, the process may be completed in a month or two, and there are many people who get married directly.
As for her daughter, she has been with Zhang An's family for more than half a year, and the young couple usually have a good relationship, so she also wants to put this matter on the agenda as soon as possible.
But as women, it is not so convenient for them to speak.
Otherwise, if others hear this, they will say that their daughter hates getting married.
And because of Zhang An's age, they wanted to urge him but couldn't say it first.
"Then what did you tell Xiao An?"
Wu Qiuping was really worried that her daughter would reject others directly because of her shyness and let this matter drag on.
Others might not be able to do this, but she knew that this silly girl of hers could really do it.
"I asked him to discuss it with you and my dad. I listened to you, so he stayed here tonight and will talk about it later."
Wu Qiuping nodded after hearing this, thinking about finding time to talk to Su Ying's father later.
The room was quickly tidied up, and Wu Qiuping saw that it was getting late, so she started to prepare dinner.
It can be seen that she was very happy today. While working in the kitchen, she couldn't help but hum a ditty.
Several times Zhang An wanted to go in to help, but she kicked him out and refused to let Zhang An do anything.
After the family of four finished dinner, the whole family sat on the sofa.
Wu Qiuping watched TV from time to time, and glanced at Zhang An from time to time.
Su Ying felt very embarrassed seeing her mother like this.
My family just hopes that I will get married as soon as possible.
As for Zhang An, although he had made an agreement with Su Ying in the morning, he had already decided to ventilate his elder brother at night.
But when it was time to speak, Zhang An was still a little nervous.
Although he knew that Su Ying's parents were usually very kind to him, Zhang An was still a little uneasy when he was about to speak.
"Uncle, aunt, Yingying and I have been together for a long time, so I thought this matter should have an outcome."
"My parents are also very satisfied with Yingying and told me that her daughter-in-law must be her. So if you two have no objections, I will ask my parents to pick a date to come to propose marriage when I get back."
Zhang An thought about his words in his mind for a long time, and finally said it.
Anyway, it's a knife to extend your head, and it's a knife to shrink your head.
After Su Shaowen heard this, he did not speak immediately, but picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Wu Qiuping, who was standing next to him, saw that he was not in a hurry and turned him around with his hands.
"Xiao An, Xiao Ying's mother and I are not old feudal people. In fact, we are very satisfied with you, and you can tell it usually."
"So we don't have any objections here. As long as you two discuss it, we will support you."
Su Shaowen thought for a while before speaking to Zhang An.
"After all, you and your wife still have to spend the rest of your life together. The most we adults can do is give you some advice."
In Su Shaowen's case, he never had any requirements for Zhang An.
This was true even when I had never met Zhang An before.
He has always felt that as long as his future son-in-law likes and satisfies his daughter, is a normal person, and treats his daughter well in the future, he has no requirements.
As for other things, they are not too important in his opinion.
Later, after he also met Zhang An and Zhang An's family, he became even more satisfied with this young man.
So naturally he won't ask Zhang An any difficult questions now.
"Yes, Xiao An, as long as you and Yingying are fine, we will be satisfied. Go back and tell your parents that aunt and uncle have no requirements here, so there is nothing to worry about."
Before Wu Qiuping met Zhang An, she was still thinking about what he wanted from his family and what conditions he wanted.
But over the past six months, they have gotten a rough idea of Zhang An's family.
Moreover, they could also feel how Zhang An treated her.
Especially the jar of old ginseng-infused wine in their home, the stick in it must be at least ten or twenty years old.
Zhang An didn't say anything at that time, he just brought it over. I'm afraid his own son wouldn't be able to do this.
During the following period, she always played the role of an enlightened mother-in-law in front of Zhang An.
So now, she will only continue to be a good person to the end and stick to this role.
As for other requirements such as betrothal gifts and houses, she did not mention them.
Because she knew that according to the current conditions of Zhang An's family, her daughter would definitely be happy if she got married.
"Yes, Xiao An, you go back and tell your dad that we don't have any requirements here. If there are any customs in your family, we will try our best to cooperate."
Because Zhang An and the others were from the mountains, Su Shaowen thought there might be some rules.
So I told Zhang An about this matter in advance and asked him to go back without any scruples.
With just a few words like this, the matter between the two young people was settled.
Zhang An is really grateful to both of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law for being so open-minded.
If you change your family, they will definitely impose various conditions on you at this time.
But Su Ying's parents didn't, and they treated her like their own son from the beginning.
"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, Yingying and I will definitely be fine in the future."
Zhang An solemnly held Su Ying's hand in front of the two elders and assured them.
Regarding the guarantee given to them by Zhang An, Su Shaowen and Wu Qiuping both nodded with satisfaction.
After the matter was discussed, the atmosphere became relaxed.
"Xiao An, do you have any plans to buy a house in the county?"
Su Shaowen is relatively clear about Zhang An's financial strength.
"This is not my uncle's request for you. I just want to check your wishes. Whether or not you buy it doesn't matter."
In Su Shaowen's heart, even if Zhang An and his daughter get married, it doesn't matter if they don't buy a house.
This house in my family will definitely be left to my two daughters in the future.
The eldest son-in-law's family is not ordinary, so the house will probably end up in the hands of the younger daughter.
"Uncle, I really haven't planned on buying a house in our county."
If he were in the provincial capital, Zhang An would buy a set first if he was trying to sell iron.
Even if you don't live in it, you can just leave it and sell it later.
But in this small county town, Zhang An has no plans yet.
Because the development of the county is still too backward, the prime areas in the future have not yet been developed.
Although in the following decades, house prices have risen horribly.
But in this small county, there are only about three to four thousand people at the top of the sky.
So Zhang An has no plans yet and will buy another set when the time is right.
It's not for investment, it's just for future use when needed.
When she woke up the next day, Su Ying's parents had already left for work.
After Zhang An stayed with Su Ying for a long time, he got up and returned under Su Ying's reluctant eyes.
This time Zhang An did not take Su Ying back with him, but asked her to stay at home for a few more days.
After all, Su Ying will report to Changqing next semester, so she will have less time to go home.
Zhang An didn't bring anything with him when he came, but when he left, he left large and small bags in the car.
Some of them were clothes and shoes that Su Ying bought for Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo, and some of them were things that Wu Qiuping asked Zhang An to take back.
Along the way, Zhang An drove the car, opened the car window, blew in the cool breeze from outside, and sang a ditty unconsciously.
Although it was a two-hour drive, Zhang An arrived home without even paying attention. Maybe this was the reason why he was in such a good mood.
"Hey, Xiao An is back."
Zhang An returned home and found his mother and two aunts discussing something in the yard.
"Yes, Auntie, what are you discussing?"
Zhang An looked at his old mother and two aunts picking up these boxes.
"We got some silkworm seeds back and are going to raise some summer silkworms."
It turns out that these are silkworms. No wonder they look so dark.
"Why do you suddenly think of raising summer silkworms? Raising them in the summer is like serving your ancestors."
Zhang An is no stranger to sericulture, on the contrary, he is somewhat familiar with it.
Because when I was a child, Grandma Zhang An would often raise silkworms at home.
And Zhang An's grandma is definitely a good hand at raising silkworms.
Second Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "This is not decided by us, but Xiao An, you are urging me hard."
"I won't rush our aunt. It's best for you to rest more while you have time."
Hearing what the second aunt said, Zhang An was a little confused. What does this have to do with me?
"You silly boy, your second aunt and third aunt are raising summer silkworms this time to make quilts for you when you get married."
Seeing Zhang An scratching his head, Wang Fang said with a smile.
"When you called back last night, your second aunt and third aunt were both there. They all knew about you and Xiaoying. Can you not be impatient."
There is a local custom in Changqing when blood relatives and nephews of the family get married.
The homes of these close relatives and uncles in the family all need to prepare quilts.
Most families in the village usually go to town to spend money to buy some cotton and put on a few quilts when something like this happens.
However, this quilt cannot be made too poorly, otherwise it will be laughed at.
In many places, after the bride's family receives the bride price, the bride's family will be given a dozen quilts as a dowry.
Such a thing is unreasonable in Chang Qing's place, because Quilt's thoughts have already been resolved by his close relatives and uncles at home.
The woman's side can't continue to provide quilts as a dowry, which adds up to dozens of quilts.
The young couple may not be able to use up so many quilts even in a lifetime.
It is precisely because of this rule that many families in later generations are unwilling to marry their daughters here.
It's just that Aunt Zhang and her two sisters-in-law don't want to follow the crowd. They are very close to Zhang An, their nephew.
So since they learned about Zhang An and Su Ying, they had already discussed it.
The family prepared a silk quilt for Zhang An, which not only showed the family's love for their nephew, but also gave face to others.
