Chapter 95 Meeting

February 7, 1995, the eighth day of the first lunar month, is a good day for getting married, seeking wealth, taking up a new position, and praying for blessings.

The old man was a light sleeper, so Lin Ting and Zhou Qing got up early as usual.

Lin Ting used a small spray bottle to water the flowers and plants on the balcony. The temperature in Pengcheng is high recently, so he has to water the flowers and plants once every morning and evening to ensure that they grow lush and green.

Zhou Qing was fiddling with her new hairstyle in the bathroom.

After a good night's sleep, yesterday's fluffy curls were a little flattened. She carefully used her hands to make her hair fluffy, and used a comb to lift the hair on both sides of her temples.

"You've been fiddling with your hair for half an hour, and you still haven't fixed it?"

Lin Ting looked at the old woman still fiddling with her curly hair, like a curly-haired dog, and didn't know what was so good about it.

Zhou Qing saw the old man's expression in the mirror and knew what he was thinking.

She replied angrily: "It's nothing, I can't even fix my hair!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Lin Ting didn't want to argue with him and waved his hand. "You can do what you want. I have to remind you that Shanshan has to eat breakfast when she wakes up!"

Zhou Qing rolled his eyes, but still quickened his movements.

Even though the old man's words were unpleasant to hear, he couldn't let his good granddaughter starve.

After breakfast, the whole family got ready to go.

Lin Ping paced back and forth nervously, and Lin Ting looked at his watch from time to time.

When the clock hands reached "9", Lin Ting gave the order: "Go!"

The whole family stood up and walked out.

When we arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Yang Zhefeng and a group of people were already waiting there.

As soon as Lin Ting saw the old man next to Yang Zhefeng, he immediately walked forward.

"Brother Yang, your family has come all the way here, it must be hard work!"

Yang Changshou rushed over and held Lin Ting's hand, "Of course, of course! This is such a great thing, even if it's far away, I have to rush over!"

Lin Ting and Yang Changshou held hands together and smiled at each other.

"Dad, Uncle Lin, let's go inside and talk!" Yang Zhefeng stood aside and invited everyone in.

"please!"

Lin Ting extended his hand and invited Yang Changshou to go in first.

"You go first, please go first!" Yang Changshou stood a little aside and asked Lin Ting to go first.

Lin Ting no longer backed down and walked in first, with Yang Changshou accompanying him.

Liao Ailian also held Zhou Qing's hand and followed behind.

Wang Xiuren's family of three and Lin Ping walked in the middle, while Yang Zhefeng and his sister and brother-in-law walked at the end.

After entering the box, Yang Changshou invited Lin Ting and his wife to sit in the main seat.

Lin Ting refused and said, "You are the host, so of course you should sit in the main seat."

Then it is on the right hand side of the main seat.

Zhou Qing sat to the right of Lin Ting, and Lin Qiu's family sat next to their mother.

Yang Zhefeng arranged his mother to sit on his father's left, and his sister and brother-in-law sat next to his mother.

Finally, there were two positions left, which were reserved for Lin Ping and Yang Zhefeng.

Yang Zhefeng asked Lin Ping to sit down first, then ran outside to urge the waiter to bring up tea, fruits and dried fruits.

Yang Changshou stood up first and drank tea instead of wine, "Brother Lin, I want to thank you and your family first! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this gathering!"

Lin Ting also stood up and picked up the teacup. "Brother Yang, you are too polite. I should be the one thanking you for coming all the way to meet us!"

The two sides clinked glasses, then held each other's arms and sat down.

Yang Changshou took a sip of tea and spoke slowly:

"My home is at the foot of Xiuyue Mountain, only seven or eight miles away from you. I don't have any special skills, I only know a little bit of bamboo weaving skills, and I make some money by weaving baskets, winnowing baskets, mats, etc. during the slack season. There are four children in my family, the three older ones are married, and there are several grandchildren. The only one left is this youngest son who has not yet married."

At this point, he looked at Lin Ting and his wife with gratitude, "Now it's thanks to you that you like this useless boy in my family and promised such an excellent girl to a family like mine. Don't worry, although my family is not as well-off as yours, we are definitely not the kind of family that treats their daughters-in-law harshly. When Lin Ping came to my house, we old couple just treated her as an extra daughter and would never let her suffer any grievances!"

After hearing what Yang Changshou said, Lin Ting replied with a touched face: "Thank you, brother, for liking my useless little daughter. There are four people in my family. My two sons and the eldest daughter have already started their own families. My two sons, daughter-in-law and four grandchildren are all staying in my hometown. It is my eldest daughter's family who came here today. We are very satisfied that a rare good guy like your Zhefeng likes our Lin Ping. As long as the two of them are doing well, everything else is fine."

"That's right. As long as the two of them get along well, we as parents will have to give our full support!" Yang Changshou nodded.

The two fathers chatted with each other enthusiastically and gradually reached a consensus. The two mothers also started talking to each other through their spouses.

Yang Zhefeng's sisters and brothers-in-law also started to find topics to chat with Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren.

The male and female protagonists of this gathering were talking in a low voice and feeding Wang Shan at the same time.

When it was time for dinner, the waiters brought up the wine and food that Yang Zhefeng had ordered in advance, and the two families began to clink glasses and toast each other.

After having their fill of food and drink, the two families moved to Jinxiu Garden.

The Yang family had never seen such an elevator apartment before. After entering the door, they saw the shiny floor and didn't even dare to step on it for fear of dirtying it.

Wang Xiuren quickly arranged for everyone to come in and sit down, and brought out plastic chairs from the balcony behind the kitchen, so that the small living room was filled with people.

After sitting down for a while, Yang Zhefeng presented the gifts he had prepared.

Two packs of Furongwang cigarettes, two bottles of Wuliangye liquor, two boxes of tea, two boxes of Gu Han health essence, two boxes of donkey glue blood-replenishing granules, two boxes of biscuits, two fruit baskets, four kinds of dried fruits, as well as a bag of cured fish and meat and a bag of dried vegetables brought from home.

The gifts piled up so much on the coffee table that there was no space left.

After another round of exchanges between the two parties, Lin Ting accepted it with a smile.

Yang Changshou and Liao Ailian each took out a thick red envelope and put it in Lin Ping's hand.

"Pingping, I call you that just like you do at home. This is a gift from my uncle and aunt. I hope you don't mind it!" Yang Changshou looked at his future daughter-in-law with satisfaction.

Liao Ailian held Lin Ping's hand and took out a gold ring and put it on her finger. "Auntie picked it according to her own wishes. I don't know if you like it?"

Lin Ping lowered his head shyly and replied in a low voice: "Thank you, uncle and aunt."

Liao Ailian picked up Wang Shan who was following Lin Ping and stuffed a red envelope into her hand. "This baby is really well raised. Grandma didn't prepare a gift for you this time. I'll make it up to you next time!"

Lin Qiu quickly pushed the red envelope back, "Auntie, you are too polite!"

"You have to give it to me! This is a gift for meeting you, you can't refuse it!" Liao Ailian stuffed it back.

The two sides exchanged blows, and finally Lin Qiu accepted it.

Then the fathers of both parties agreed to come home on May Day to arrange the marriage, and choose a suitable date at the end of the year to hold the wedding.

The meeting ended successfully.

After sending the Yang family away, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

After the Yang family walked out of Jinxiu Garden, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The major events in life are not easy from the beginning!

So we should take it more seriously!
