Chapter 318 Tangtangguo Brand Light Bulb
Since Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei are here, everyone must sit down and discuss their affairs.
Zhang Hongmei never thought that her son was bad, but Xiao Tang was a city girl with a decent job. Even if Xiao Tang liked her son, it didn't mean that Xiao Tang's parents would like him.
They couldn't say this out loud. Zhang Hongmei asked Xu Jianhua and Huanhuan to take Kang Kang out to play with Tang Tangguo. When they were the only adults left, she took Xiao Tang's hand and said, "You and Jianping are dating, so we can't let you down. How about this? We'll go to the county town in the next two days to find a matchmaker to go to your house and propose marriage."
She wanted her son and Xiao Tang to be able to date legitimately. These days, there were no matchmakers, and if two young people were to date on their own and the other party's parents did not agree, it would be the young people's hearts that would be hurt.
Let Xiao Tang’s parents know about his son first, regardless of whether they like Jianping or not. This way everyone will have a better idea of what to do, and then it will be easier to find a way to make them like their son.
Xiao Tang had actually thought about this when she was on a business trip, but she didn't expect Aunt Zhang to bring it up first. She subconsciously looked at Xu Yu.
Xu Yu and Jiang Yi sat together.
Seeing Xiao Tang looking over, she nodded and said, "Mom is right. At least find a matchmaker to introduce your second brother to your parents. That way they can have some peace of mind."
Xiao Tang knew that his mother had always been very prejudiced against rural people, and he was actually a little reluctant to tell her now, but it was indeed better to do it sooner rather than later.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Xu Jianping was afraid that she would worry, so he hurriedly said, "Xiao Tang, I will try my best to make your parents like me."
Xiao Tang looked at the nervous man sitting opposite him, and his heart suddenly calmed down. The corners of his mouth subconsciously rose, and he nodded at him.
Xiao Tang nodded, and Xu Jianping immediately grinned.
The others looked at each other and then discussed how to find a matchmaker and how to go to Xiao Tang's house.
Everyone knows the current situation of Xiao Tang's family. Her second brother was discharged from the army in September. After his discharge, he wanted to get engaged to a girl and discuss the marriage after the engagement. The two elders' hearts are obviously on the side of their son, so since the Chinese New Year, Tang's mother has mentioned many times that Xiao Tang should go on a blind date.
As a child, Xiao Tang could not go against his parents.
Since she and Xu Jianping had a mutual affection for each other, and Uncle Xu and Aunt Zhang were also open-minded people, she believed that even if she really married Xu Jianping, they would not interfere with her work.
Precisely because she knew what kind of people they were, even though she was not ready to marry Xu Jianping, she was not opposed to marrying him this year.
She believed that Xu Jianping had the same idea.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at Xu Jianping.
Unexpectedly, I met his bright and shining eyes directly.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
……
Everyone chatted for more than two hours before the Xu family left.
On the way back, while his parents were picking up the candies, Xu Jianping whispered to Xiao Tang, "I'll come see you tomorrow morning."
Xiao Tang asked in surprise: "Aren't you very busy?"
Xu Jianping smiled at her: "Jianhua and I are jogging here for morning exercise, and we'll run back later."
This made Xiao Tang laugh.
She nodded at him.
After the Xu family left, Xu Yu called Xiao Tang to the bedroom to talk alone.
Xu Yu asked Xiao Tang: "Have you really decided to choose my second brother?"
Xiao Tang smiled and nodded, saying, "I've been on so many blind dates in the past couple of years, but none of them gave me the same sense of ease and joy that I felt with Xu Jianping."
Xu Yu also smiled. At this time, she must say more good things about her second brother and talk about how much benefits she would get if she married him.
"Not only do you have an obedient man, you also have a best friend, a sister-in-law. If your second brother bullies you in the future, I will definitely stand by you. Also, you don't have to worry about your parents-in-law being dissatisfied with you focusing only on work. They..."
Every time Xu Yu said something, the smile on Xiao Tang's face grew a little bigger.
The eyes behind him were all smiling.
After Xu Yu finished speaking, his expression suddenly turned serious: "Having said this, let's think about what to do if your parents look down on my second brother?"
When Xiao Tang heard this, he immediately became serious.
Then, the two of them put their heads together and started to plot.
……
The next morning, after Xu Yu fed the babies, he took another nap. When he woke up again, he didn't hear the babbling sound of the talkative Xiao Guoguo. Then he realized that they were not in bed this morning.
Xu Yu lifted the quilt, got out of bed, walked to the window, opened it, and saw Yang Wenhui sitting alone in the yard picking wild vegetables she had just picked.
Xu Yu asked: "Mom, where are Tangtang and Guoguo?"
Yang Wenhui looked over and said with a smile, "Jianping came over and carried them out with Xiao Tang."
Xu Yu couldn't help laughing out loud.
She thought that her second brother came so early obviously to find Xiao Tang, but she didn't expect that the two of them would take Tang Tangguo out to be a light bulb.
But she didn't care, so she asked again: "Have Jianhua and Huanhuan arrived?"
"Here he is. Xiaoyi took him to the side yard to practice boxing."
When Xu Yu heard this, he turned around and went back to wash up.
After washing up, she went out and said something to Yang Wenhui, then went to the yard next door.
Ever since Jiang Yi brought back some people from outside, the military has not sent anyone else.
These people have already retired and were all Jiang Yi's former subordinates.
They were all children from poor families and remained poor after retiring from the army.
Jiang Yi gathered them together to help Xu Yu. Not only did they provide food and accommodation, but they also received a monthly subsidy. The group of people were extremely grateful to the two of them.
Xu Yu stood by and watched a group of strong men practicing boxing while shouting slogans in unison. Each move they made was filled with absolute power, which made the people watching feel excited.
His gaze turned to his younger brother standing behind him practicing boxing and Huanhuan standing beside him watching him, and Xu Yu's mouth corners couldn't help but rise again.
Maybe it was because he had just reached the age for growth, and coupled with the fact that Xu Yu had taken such good care of Xu Jianhua over the past year, he had grown a little taller. In this era when southern men were generally not tall, Xu Jianhua was already almost as tall as Xu Yu.
Huanhuan has grown a little taller, but compared to Xu Jianhua, she is still more than a head shorter.
So now, whenever Xu Jianhua is in a hurry, he either carries her on his back or hugs her and runs.
Every time Xu Yu saw Xu Jianhua running towards him with Huanhuan on his back or in his arms, he couldn't help but laugh.
Although he was also a child, she could occasionally see the expression of her old father on his face.
After they finished boxing, Xu Jianhua was about to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve when Huanhuan immediately took out a handkerchief from his pocket and walked up to him and handed it to him.
"Brother, wipe it with a handkerchief."
"Thank you, Sister Huanhuan."
"You're welcome~"
The sunlight hit the two of them, casting a soft glow around them.
When Xu Yu saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - childhood is so good!
