Lin Rongrong is a sensible person. When she asked Bai Banxia, she did not want to seek this position through Bai Banxia's relationship. She just wanted to ask Bai Banxia what he meant and whether he agreed or not.
"Okay, sometimes there is an assessment or selection, so let Shenggen work hard on his own. It is his luck to be selected. It doesn't matter if he is not selected, as long as he works hard," Lin Rongrong said with a smile.
Bai Banxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her sister-in-law was reasonable and did not let her have a relationship.
"We will leave home in two days. Don't be too tired at home. Brother Da Lang and Da Auntie will take care of everything. You just need to take good care of my little nephew." Bai Banxia explained again.
Lin Rongrong smiled and nodded, "Okay."
On the other side, the news that the Zhang family is taking Zhang Tongsheng to Xiguan City for a blind date has spread. Some people say that the Zhang family is in luck and they are going to marry a girl from a wealthy family. Others say how could a girl from Xiguan City do this?
Looking at a place in the countryside, maybe Zhang Tongshan is going to marry someone else?
When these words reached the Zhang family, everyone was dumbfounded. Zhang Tongsheng was open-minded and didn't care about these speculations at all.
In the evening, the village chief of Maple Tree Village came to visit. After greeting Mr. Zhang for a few words, he took him to the backyard to smoke a pipe and asked in a low voice: "Old Zhang, tell me the truth. Isn't it the back of the mountain?"
If something happens, you should hide out in advance, right?"
Mr. Zhang was confused by the question and said hurriedly: "Village chief, please don't make blind guesses. God forbid anything will happen again."
"Then why do you have to leave the village? You can't hide anything from me. If you do it again, my heart won't be able to bear it." The old village chief said, patting his heart.
"I really went to see each other. The other party's family is in good condition. They know my granddaughter and think her brother is good. If it weren't for the age of Sanlang and Silang of the Bai family, he really wouldn't be in Tongsheng." Mr. Zhang insisted.
Said with caution.
"It's fine if you don't. Then I wish your family a smooth relationship and find a good wife back!" The old village chief patted Mr. Zhang on the shoulder and said.
When the old village chief left, Mr. Zhang sighed guiltily several times. He really didn't want to lie to the old village chief, but he didn't know what would happen. He just didn't want them to become high-ranking officials in the court and win over Banxia and Qi Zhen.
Although the granddaughter didn't say it clearly, he could guess some things.
At the Bai family's side, while having dinner, the old lady suddenly asked: "Isn't the eldest grandson of the old Zhang family wanting to be someone's son-in-law?"
Zhang Linzhi said hurriedly: "Nothing, just go and have a look."
"Would a girl from the city fall in love with a country boy like him? Unless he goes to marry someone else." The old lady snorted angrily, "Does the old Zhang family only care about money or is it that the more they get around, the worse they get? Even the eldest grandson wants it."
I’m going to marry someone into my wife. What is marrying into my wife? It’s not impossible. Which man is willing to marry into his wife?”
She spoke so enthusiastically that everyone looked bad. The eldest lady sitting next to the old lady nudged her with her elbow and reminded her to stop talking.
"Wouldn't I just like to marry you?" Qi Zhen finally spoke.
The old lady's face instantly turned pale. She was still a little afraid of Qi Zhen, but she just spoke so quickly that she forgot about Qi Zhen.
"You, you are different, don't you have no relatives or family?" the old lady said hesitantly.
Bai Banxia was a little unhappy and said: "I told Qi Zhen a while ago that we will get married and he doesn't need to marry into the marriage. He is just afraid of other people's irresponsible remarks. Qi Zhen insisted on his original promise and said he didn't mind outsiders.
What are you talking about? Grandma, outsiders are outsiders, but you are one of our own."
"I didn't talk about him either, I just talked about the Zhang family..." The old lady knew she was in the wrong, lowered her head to eat, and stopped beeping.
After dinner, Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen went for a walk. She tugged on his sleeve and asked, "Are you angry just now?"
"No, I'm not like this when I'm angry." Qi Zhen smiled, "I just don't want her to keep talking and make your mother unhappy."
Bai Banxia laughed, "Okay, you know how to protect my mother, so my mother's love for you is not in vain."
"Your mother is also my mother, so of course she has to be protected." Qi Zhen's smile widened, "When we come back from this trip, it will be almost the day we get married."
"Then let's build two more rooms." Bai Banxia said.
Qi Zhen nodded, "Okay, you can draw whatever you like and I will arrange it."
Bai Banxia tilted her head and thought, she wanted a Simmons bed, a bathroom and a flush toilet in the house, but it was not easy to draw them.
In the next two days, Bai Banxia and the others made some preparations before traveling, while Sanlang and Xiaoyu also started to go to town to study.
Bai Banxia still decided to take Xiaocao with him on this trip. Kindergarten hadn't officially started yet, and Xiaocao didn't have to stay home to study, so he took this opportunity to go out and have some fun. He wouldn't always have time to run around in the future.
In addition, Xiaocao's ointment has been prepared and needs to be applied every day. Bai Banxia still wants to keep an eye on it in person to feel more at ease.
In a blink of an eye, the day of departure came. Qizhen had already arranged two carriages to pick up Bai Banxia and the others. Then they went to Fengshu Village to pick up the Zhang family.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuakong, cousin, please remember to bring me something delicious. I feel so sad that I was abandoned by you like this.” Third cousin Zhang Tonglin said bitterly in the car.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Now that you are on official duty, you are not afraid of people laughing at you." Niu said with disgust.
Not long ago, Zhang Tonglin was officially promoted to a regular official and became a formally established official. Therefore, he has errands to attend to and cannot ask for leave casually. Naturally, he will not be able to go to Xiguan City this time without him.
He just followed his family by car to the town first, and then went to the Yamen to work, so he just saw his family off.
"The food is cheap, so I can't bear to let my cousin spend more money." Zhang Tonglin explained.
"Be honest while we are away, don't cause trouble, don't be stupid, be more prudent in everything, and think more about your sister and brother-in-law." Niu explained again.
Zhang Tonglin laughed like a silly dog, looked at Bai Banxia in the car and said, "My sister hasn't gotten married yet, where did she get her brother-in-law?"
Niu kicked him in the leg, "Why are you so poor? Just listen to what I say."
Seeing him grimacing in pain, Bai Banxia said "yes" to him.
Niu made another explanation and arrived in the town in a blink of an eye. Zhang Tonglin got off the car and said goodbye to his family one by one, and the carriage continued to drive towards Xiguan City.
At first, the Zhang family was excited about riding in the carriage, but by the end of the day, everyone felt that their bones were about to fall apart.
When it got dark, Bai Banxia asked the coachman to find an inn to stay.
At this moment, a figure flashed past. Qi Zhen winked at her and walked away silently.
Bai Banxia knew that it was his men who came to report the news, but the figure was too fast, and he didn't know whether he was riding the wind or breaking the waves.
