"I'd rather play cards with my cousins ​​than stay at home."

Lin Ruinan left after saying that.

Except for the children from my eldest and second maternal uncles' families, who did not come to the capital.

All the children from my third and fourth uncles' families came.

My third uncle's family has two sons and one daughter.

My fourth uncle's family has two sons and two daughters.

With the addition of the siblings, the Zhang family is always bustling with activity.

Lin Jingyu soon arrived at her maternal grandparents' house.

Upon entering the main hall, one would see Grandpa Peng and Peng Qibo, whom one had not seen for more than two years.

Lin Jingyu greeted them with a smile and a calm expression.

My third and fourth uncles happened to be on holiday today, and the entire living room was filled with the elders chatting.

After a while.

Lin Jingyu and Peng Qibo were sent away.

"Let's take a walk."

Peng Qibo gazed at the graceful young woman; she had grown into a beautiful adult and was becoming more and more outstanding.

Let's go.

Lin Jingyu didn't mind and said as they walked, "I didn't expect you to come back for the New Year this year."

"The matter over there has been resolved."

Peng Qibo casually remarked, "If I don't return to the army the year after next, I'll go to another province or city."

"You don't need to tell me about work-related matters."

Lin Jingyu gently shook her head and changed the subject, "Shiyu and I both got into National University, so it seems I'll have a chance to wear a military uniform in the future."

"You're all amazing."

Peng Qibo smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

Thank you! Congratulations to you too!

Lin Jingyu smiled and asked, "Why didn't Shiyu come today?"

"She went to visit her cousin."

Peng Qibo explained, looking at the person beside him, "Jingyu, I came to see you today to ask when you plan to come back to the Peng family with me."

Lin Jingyu paused for a moment, "You mean you're going to meet the parents?"

"Yes."

Peng Qibo was slightly nervous and stopped to look at her. "My grandfather is coming over to propose marriage to your maternal grandparents."

“My parents aren’t home, and my grandparents won’t agree to it.”

Lin Jingyu glanced at him indifferently, "As for meeting your parents, we'll talk about going to your house after my parents come to Beijing and meet you."

"This, Jingyu..."

Peng Qibo was surprised; he hadn't expected her to say something like that.

I want to say something more, but I don't know what to say.

"What's troubling you?"

Lin Jingyu frowned slightly. "Am I wrong?"

"No, there's no trouble at all."

Peng Qibo expressed his thoughts, "What I mean is, could you come to my house first and meet my parents?"

"cannot!"

Lin Jingyu refused outright.

Looking at the person who opened their mouth but couldn't say a word.

Then he added, "You've probably heard the saying, 'Marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers.'"

"I've heard of it."

Peng Qibo nodded, seemingly understanding something.

He immediately agreed, "Jingyu, don't worry. After meeting my parents, I will definitely send a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage and give you a proper wedding."

Since the country began to be embroiled in war, coupled with the intrusion of Western culture and the influence of the times.

Getting married is so simple these days.

Some people don't even have the most basic wedding.

They wanted to meet once, and if both parties had no objections, they prepared to hold the wedding.

Or you could just come and pick them up at their door and take them home.

Perhaps having witnessed so many marriages like this, Peng Qibo didn't expect what a formal wedding would be like.

Why should I meet your parents first?

Lin Jingyu suddenly laughed, tilting her head to look at him, "Instead of you formally visiting my parents first and getting their permission before I go with you to visit your elders?"

"This...this is how it should be?"

Peng Qibo was stunned.

This is another blind spot in his knowledge.

"Or what?"

Lin Jingyu raised her chin and said, "Let's put aside the matter of visiting our parents for now and talk about our relationship first."

Between us?

"Yes, between us."

"We get along very well, is there any problem between us?"

"..."

Lin Jingyu looked at the puzzled person, unsure whether to be angry or amused.

I never thought this guy was a typical straight man.

How did I suddenly become such a straight man?

"Jingyu~"

Peng Qibo seemed to sense her slight disappointment.

Unable to contain his tension again, he asked helplessly, "Jingyu, is it because we haven't seen each other for too long that we've lost our chemistry?"

"Maybe."

Lin Jingyu gestured for him to continue walking forward, "We can't say our relationship is that deep, we've just had some contact and understanding."

We've met no more than six times, and for the past two or three years, we've only communicated through correspondence.

They certainly don't get to know each other as well as they do after spending a long time together.

I understand your job, and I didn't mean to blame you.

"Jingyu~"

"Don't rush, listen to me first."

Lin Jingyu shook her head at him and continued, "When you come back, you should come to me first and tell me your family's plans."

Instead of Grandpa Peng coming to my maternal grandfather's house to propose marriage.

Although I was happy that Grandpa Peng went out in person, I felt that I should not go to my maternal grandparents without my parents' consent, since I have parents myself.

After you met me, you suggested that you go and meet my parents.

As I just told you, you should have met my parents and gotten their permission first.

Then I went to meet my parents, and both sets of parents agreed.
