Thanks to Hong Yanwu's good words, Hong Lucheng finally turned around the corner in his heart and no longer blocked the marriage of Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya.
When Hong Yanwu told Hong Yanwen the news the next day, Hong Yanwen, who had been stranded in the capital for two days, was overjoyed. It was a kind of state of mind that a long drought is greeted by good rain, and a desperate situation is revived.
To express his gratitude, he called Xu Chongya out, and the two gratefully treated Hong Yanwu to a meal.
That night, Hong Yanwen followed Hong Yanwu's advice and ran to the hospital to take over Hong Yan's place and took care of Hong Lucheng for the night. From then on, the harmony between father and son was as good as before.
This completely calmed down the Hong family. Xu Chongya also seemed to have taken a reassurance and told her parents the good news.
It can be said that Xu Bingquan has gained experience in the officialdom. This "Tiger Fighting Captain" who started his career on the "Left" has now also mastered the tricks of the "Right". He immediately realized that Hong Lucheng's hospitalization was the best thing.
opportunities for reconciliation.
As soon as his mind changed, he simply asked Hong Yanwen to take two more days off. He prepared carefully and soon took his wife and daughter to the hospital to visit Hong Lucheng.
His plan was good. Not only did he bring generous gifts, Hong Yanwen led them in, and he also asked the hospital to change Hong Lucheng to a single ward in person.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. In public, their family showed their kindness so diligently. No matter how bad-tempered a person is, it is not easy to humiliate him in person and make him unhappy.
As expected, Hong Lucheng cared so much about decent people that he couldn't say an unpleasant word, so he could only say a few words of thanks.
In this way, once they move into the singles ward, the two families will have a private space to discuss their children's marriage.
First you have to set a date.
Winter is not suitable, and the weather is cold. The main reason is that Hong Lucheng injured his hand. The muscles and bones were injured for a hundred days, how can we recover from the injury before dealing with it? Then the bright spring "May Day" became
The obvious choice.
Next is the house.
Xu Bingquan was very proactive in this regard. Not only did he say that he would handle the matter of the young couple's apartment, he would also take over the matter of Hong Yanwen's transfer back to Beijing.
So it was logical that the Hong family would take care of all the clothing, furniture, and electrical appliances for the young couple.
As for the last item, what should we do with the wedding banquet? The Hong family still needs to seek the Xu family’s opinion.
Unexpectedly, Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen were very easy to talk to on this point. They just said that they would go back and count the list of relatives and friends here, and leave it all to the Hong family, so there was no need to be too extravagant.
In this way, this troublesome matter that caused both families a headache and had been entangled for more than half a year was finally solved properly in this way. It was really just like what was shown in the movie "Love in Lushan", there was a
A relatively happy ending.
The only thing is that there is still a gap between the content of the movie and real life. Although the marriage of Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya has been finalized, it cannot be like the ending of a fairy tale. Just say "They will live happily together forever" and it will be over.
.
How to prepare and handle the wedding matters, there are still many troublesome things to do later, so you have to implement them one by one.
Moreover, although the two families appear to be harmonious and thoughtful on the surface, they are not necessarily the same on the outside. After all, they are two families with completely opposite value orientations and lifestyles. Everyone must have a little bit of themselves behind their backs.
idea?
For example, the Xu family has a lot of hidden secrets.
When Yu Wanfen had nothing to do, she explained everything she thought was important to Xu Chongya one by one. She was afraid that this girl would be stupid and suffer a loss.
This couple really knows how to plan for their own family.
Let's talk about time first. The reason why they happily agreed to "May Day" was actually to leave more time to prepare things for the Hong family, so that the man would not have the excuse of "too late" to make perfunctory decisions.
The only thing to worry about is that the Hong family may use the excuse of not being able to find tickets to spend less money.
But it doesn't matter. The Xu family will get the tickets for all the home appliances and furniture, "help" the Hong family with good intentions, and will never cause "embarrassment" to the Hong family.
Secondly, the Hong family has money but no power, so there is definitely nothing they can do about the house and transfer. Since the Xu family is destined to help, they might as well be more generous.
The most important thing is that with a house, the daughter does not have to live with her parents-in-law, and she is freed from the constraints and fatigue of daily life. Moreover, the house needs to be bigger. Not to mention the dignity of the family, the Hong family has to buy things to fill it up.
That's a lot.
As for the wedding banquet, although the Xu family didn't put any conditions on the surface, they would never let the Hong family save it. They were really frugal.
Because by then the Xu family's list will have at least seven or eight tables of people. Just for this reason, it is impossible for the Hong family to host a running banquet at home. Then they must move to a big restaurant to be extravagant.
After hearing what her mother had planned for her, Xu Chongya was stunned. It took her a long time to exclaim, "Oh, you and my dad are really good at calculating things."
Yu Wanfen said with a smug look, "Huh, what do you know? Although the Hong family is rich, Yanwen still has younger brothers and sisters. When will he not need them at this time? How about we think about it for you?"
You're a silly girl who doesn't think about anything. I think even the little daughter-in-law from the countryside is more thoughtful than you."
Of course Xu Chongya was not convinced. She curled her lips and said, "Come on. I'm quite thoughtful too."
Facts have proved that Xu Chongya does have a lot of "insight". At least in terms of emotional intelligence, she is much higher than her parents and thinks longer.
For example, although she is grateful to her parents for thinking about her, and she does like good things, what she loves more is Hong Yanwen.
She knew in her heart that it was not easy to reach this stage with Hong Yanwen. If she really made her husband's family unhappy because of these material requirements, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse and putting the cart before the horse?
After the happy event, she still couldn't survive? What should she do in the future? After all, they were Hong Yanwen's parents. What's more, the Xu family felt sorry for them. She didn't want to face the Hong family all her life and never be able to hold her head high.
Therefore, after the family found various bills, although Xu Chongya handed them over to Hong Yanwen, they actually did not act according to the mother's wishes.
She directly said that she didn't need to do everything, saying that although her parents wanted her to live a decent life, they had to live within their means. Don't make it difficult for the Hong family. She even gave her 300 yuan of her savings to
Hong Yanwen.
Of course Hong Yanwen was moved, but he did not accept the money. Instead, he said, "We thought of going together. But to tell you the truth, I usually don't spend much money except buying books, and I have more than two thousand yuan in my hand."
.Actually, we can do it ourselves. There is no need to embarrass the family, and I won’t wrong you."
This was a surprise that Xu Chongya had not expected, and she was immediately excited.
"Then let's buy a color TV. It's not easy for my dad to get color TV tickets. It's a bit expensive, but if you want to buy a black and white one, don't you have to buy a color TV sooner or later? It's a waste of money."
Hong Yan was a little hesitant about this article. It was not because he was afraid of anything else, but because he felt that his parents had not yet watched color TV, so it would be inappropriate for them to enjoy it first.
He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't. Because this was not only the first material request Xu Chongya made to him, but she also added later, "I just can't live without the TV. I don't need any other electrical appliances, okay?"
Okay?"
There was no choice. In Xu Chongya's extremely expectant eyes, Hong Yanwen really couldn't say "no", so he could only bite the bullet and agree first. Then he slowly figured out how to mention this matter to his parents.
But in fact, he has a guilty conscience and worries blindly, which is completely unnecessary. Because this so-called problem does not exist at all.
