He Yan sat upright, adjusted his glasses nervously and said, "Hello, Auntie. My name is He Yan, He as in when and Yan as in the banquet. I'm twenty-three this year and work in the technical department of the Red Star Machinery Factory. My home is in Shen City. My father works in a tobacco factory and my mother works in a machinery factory in our city. I have an older brother and an older sister, both of whom are married.

Tangtang and I met by chance. Auntie, I really like Tangtang. Please give me a chance.

"Give me a chance, give me a chance, hey, young man, you are quite good at talking. My Tangtang has a bad temper, so you will have to bear with me in the future.

If you get married in the future...will you stay here or go back to your hometown?"

"It depends on where Tangtang wants to go. I can do that."

"That's great. Auntie only has one request. My third daughter has a bad temper, so I want her to marry closer to me so that her father and I can look after her."

He Yan nodded: "Auntie, I understand your intentions."

"He Yan, are you still working this afternoon? Let's have dinner at home tonight.

Now that we're together, come often."

"Auntie, I don't have work this afternoon."

"Okay, Third Brother, go find your sister this afternoon and ask her and your brother-in-law to come back for dinner. Let's meet them together."

"Mom, my sister and brother-in-law are getting married in a week. It's not appropriate for you to come home now."

"Why not? They see each other every day in the hospital."

"oh."

"Hey, look at me, I forgot to pour tea for He Yan."

Liu Xiulan said this and stood up to get the kettle.

Jiang Tang took the opportunity to follow closely and whispered, "Comrade Liu Xiulan, I thought you would be angry."

Liu Xiulan glared at her and said, "Why are you so angry? Just date me. When did your dad and I ever tell you not to find a partner? You have a carefree personality, so why are you so angry now?"

"I'm mainly afraid that you'll force me to get married."

When Liu Xiulan heard this, she almost slapped her: "Why are you dating if you're not getting married? What do you mean, don't you plan to get along well with He Yan? I think he's a nice person, elegant and bookish, tall, a technician, and he looks knowledgeable with his glasses.

"The family background is not bad either. The key is the eldest and the youngest. They are all favored at home. This is something that my mother is quite satisfied with." After saying this, she took a closer look at her daughter and said disdainfully, "I don't understand why He Yan fell in love with you."

"Hey, I'm your child, why are you being so mean?"

"I'm telling the truth. You're already in a relationship, and you still don't take care of yourself. Look at what you're wearing."

Jiang Tang looked down at herself. She was wearing a white floral short-sleeved shirt, military pants, and canvas shoes. Her best friend had bought these for her. She had excellent taste, so how could they be bad?

Sure enough, the more the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became.

Her mother is afraid that she won't be able to get married.

When Meng Si Ning came out to see Lin off, he happened to meet Jiang Tang and He Yan watching Comrade Liu Xiu Lan go to work.

Seeing Meng Si Ning sending Lin Siyun off, Liu Xiulan said directly, "No need to send me off. It's just right for me to come with you."

Finally, Lin Siyun got on Director Liu's bicycle tremblingly.

After the others left, the two returned to Meng Sining.

"How is it? What's going on?"

He Yan smiled and said nothing. Jiang Tang rolled her eyes at him and said to Meng Si Ning, "My mother is very pleased with her. I was worried for no reason."

Meng Si Ning also laughed when he heard this: "Isn't that good?"

"I didn't expect Comrade Liu Xiulan to be so different."

He Yan said, "This shows that Auntie has no objection to our relationship."

"My mom also asked me to inform my brother-in-law that there will be a family meeting today."

He Yan suddenly said, "Didn't you say before that you should pay attention to the job? I know an old man at the printing factory. He wants to sell jobs."

Jiang Tang's eyes lit up: "Really? What's going on?"

"The old couple are going to babysit their son's children."

"Anyway, I have nothing to do this afternoon. Do you want to come with me to look for my second aunt?"

Of course He Yan was willing to meet her family, and was even considering whether to ask her parents to come over.

Meng Sining gave He Yan the money for the washing machine and also gave him some bills for daily use.

The two of them went out happily.

I was bored at home and spent a lot of time trying to make the sleeping mat but still couldn't.

That night, when Jiang Tang sent He Yan away and came to her place, she saw a few cotton balls she had thrown on the ground and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"It's a bunny's cushion."

"Puchi, this ball is a cushion?"

Meng Si Ning shrugged: "I can't do it. I studied it for a long time and I can only walk in a straight line.

He Yan is gone? Did the dinner go well tonight?

"Everything is fine. My dad was quite surprised when he just came back. He asked He Yan a lot of questions, and the more he asked, the more satisfied he became. Oh, I feel like I've become an outsider."

"It's better than my family being against me."

"I'm already starting to worry about He Yan's family. I don't know what kind of people they are and whether they would agree."

"Xia Tian is back. Do you want to take the anti-aging pill?"

"Well, eat some. I'll eat it after the market incident is over."

"I want to eat too."

"We'll be together then."

"Have you settled your cousin's work?"

"My second aunt took a leave of absence this afternoon and went with us to the printing factory. They wanted 600 yuan. Unfortunately, my younger brother doesn't want to join the army. My second aunt is almost mad at me.

But he's the only child, so there's nothing I can do. I bought it for him right there and then. He'll report tomorrow."

"That's all I need."

"My second aunt and second uncle only have one child, unlike my uncle, who has four or five. My second and third cousins ​​are both soldiers, so they're not so bad. Have you put those vegetables on the shelves? Are they selling well?"

"It's selling well. After all, we spent over 10 million. Maotu said that the more you spend, the higher the store's overall ranking will be. I've almost sold all the food."

“So fast.”

"Yes, I'm worried about what to sell now."

"What are you worried about? I'll ask for you someday."

"Okay." Meng Si Ning said and gave her five hundred yuan.

"Why are you giving me money?"

"Share it equally. This is called sharing the blessings."

"That's not necessary. I'm completely dependent on you for support now. I don't want this money."

"Keep it. You've been running around all day, how can you survive without any money? I have a lot of tickets here, I'll give them all to you."

"Give me what you use?"

"I don't need any of this in my daily life. Take it. I have plenty of money."

"Okay, okay, Mrs. Meng, I won't be polite then. Tsk, now I have seven or eight hundred yuan. All given by you."

"Save to buy a house later."

"Well, my dear, at the beginning we all said we were going to be the heroine, the strong woman, the beauty all by ourselves. Now, haha, we're both dating. What do you think we'll do in the future when we're both married and separated by distance?"

"Who knows? We have space and can meet anytime."

"I still want to be your neighbor."

"Then work hard and strive to be in one city."
