Along the way, Zhuang Zhimeng introduced the village to her parents and pointed out the brigade headquarters to them, telling them that the brigade leader and his wife had taken good care of her since she came to the countryside.

"Where's your boyfriend/girlfriend? Why don't you invite him over for dinner tonight?"

"Mom, he's been helping me gather pig feed these past two days. I told him to go home early today after work. I'll call him over later; his house isn't far from mine."

"Ya Ya, tell me the truth, did he force you?"

"Dad, what are you saying? Who can force me to do something I don't like? Qingbai is very good to me, and he's good-looking. You'll see when you meet him!"

"Then I'll have to take a good look and see if he's fooling our baby!"

Just then, Zhuang Zhimeng saw Hu Zi. "Hu Zi, could you call your brother Qingbai for me and tell him I need to talk to him?"

"Okay, Sister Zhimeng!" After saying that, she ran towards An Qingbai's house.

"You're doing pretty well in this village, huh? It's only been a short time, and you're already calling me 'sister'?"

"What can I do? I'm just popular!"

"Look at your arrogant face!"

"hey-hey!"

Zhuang Xingzhou…

When they arrived at Zhuang Zhimeng's house, they found it to be quite large. After walking around the front and back yards, Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun were reassured about her living environment.

Zhuang Zhimeng also told her parents that the people living next door were also educated youth sent to the countryside, and that the three of them had already become sworn brothers, and that they would see each other when they came back for dinner after work.

Quickly invite your parents into the house and put their things down.

"Mom, what did you all bring? Why did you bring so much stuff? It's such a hassle to bring all this over."

"This is all prepared for you, all your favorite foods. Grandpa knew we were coming, so he stuffed a lot more into your bowl. That's why we took so much!"

"I called my grandpa a couple of days ago, and he was upset that I hadn't contacted him!"

"Then write to him more often when you have time. The old man was still insisting on coming this time! We didn't agree, and we don't know what the situation is like here, so we dare not let him come."

Hao Caiyun opened one of the packages. "This is something your grandma specifically asked me to bring for you!"

Zhuang Zhimeng took it and saw that it was a particularly beautiful dress, a wedding gown.

"This was made for you by your grandmother a long time ago by a special old tailor. She was waiting to give it to you when you got engaged. We didn't know how much longer you would be staying in the countryside, so we thought we would send it to you first, just in case!"

"Mom, please go back and thank Grandma for me. Tell her I really like it and that I will definitely wear this dress when I get engaged." Zhuang Zhimeng was very touched and stroked the wedding dress.

"Okay! Your grandma will be happy to know you like it!"

Zhuang Xingzhou didn't interrupt the mother and daughter. He was looking around the house and saw that it had everything it needed, including all the basic furniture. He nodded to himself.

Just then, An Qingbai rushed over. As soon as he heard Hu Zi say that Zhuang Zhimeng was looking for him, he didn't have time to hear the rest and ran off quickly.

It just so happened that Zhuang Zhimeng hadn't closed the courtyard gate, so An Qingbai walked right in.

He didn't even bother to look at anyone else. "What's wrong? What do you need me for? I heard from Tiger that you were looking for me, so I rushed over!"

"Brother Qingbai, these are my parents! Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend, An Qingbai."

An Qingbai froze on the spot, then quickly stepped forward to greet them: "Uncle, Aunt! Why didn't you two tell me you were coming? I could have picked you up!"

Zhuang Xingzhou looked at the young man; he was quite energetic and handsome, which pleased him somewhat. But he still wasn't as good-looking as himself. Humph! He was the best-looking.

Seeing that Zhuang Xingzhou didn't speak, Hao Caiyun ignored him and said, "We can do it ourselves. We don't want to cause you any trouble."

"Mom, how can you say that? How is it causing trouble? Isn't it my duty to pick you up?" Zhuang Zhimeng grabbed her mother's arm and protested.

"Okay! I'll definitely let you know next time, okay?"

"Yes, you must tell me next time!"

"Xiao An! Let's have dinner here tonight. When you get back, tell your family that our two families can get together for a meal tomorrow and get to know each other."

"Okay, Auntie!"

"Mom, you and Dad sit down first, I'll go cook!"

"Uncle, Aunt! You two rest first, I'll go help Zhimeng!"

After the two went to the kitchen to cook, Hao Caiyun quickly reminded them, "Make sure you look better later, otherwise Xiao An will think you're not satisfied with him."

"I know! I didn't say anything!"

Hao Caiyun thought to herself, "You didn't say anything, but it's all written on your face! Anyone with eyes can see it at a glance. Who told him to be such a doting father?"
