Liu Maocai was overjoyed to hear what everyone said! His children were all successful, and if they all found successful partners, wouldn't that mean all the capable people in his family would be at home?

"Everyone's busy, I still need to take a look around."

Everyone in the market knew that Liu Maocai's second daughter, who was in college, had returned to get engaged, and everyone was furious.

We're all just people who toil in the soil, but this guy's ancestors must have been incredibly lucky.

Turning to the end, Liu Maocai saw a beef vendor and bought twenty jin (about 10 kg) of it. The beef was lean and would taste good even when cold. His daughter and her family should be leaving soon, so he would braise it and give it to them to take in the car.

The beef seller was from Dawancun Village and was quite familiar with Liu Maocai, so he gave him a few more big bones.

The basket is really full now. It's getting late, I should go back for lunch. If I think I need anything, I'll come back in the afternoon. This is a big market day.

When I got home, the door was locked. I opened it, put down the basket, and went to the cafeteria.

Er Ya and the others were eating at the old lady's house when Cheng Guangxu witnessed how protective the old lady of Liujiatun was of her children.

Liu Changhe was even more blunt: "Young man, let me tell you, don't you dare bully my girl. She just has a lot of family members, and they'll definitely beat you to a pulp."

"Don't listen to your grandpa's nonsense. But he's not entirely wrong. My girl may be from the village, but we raised her with great care. We can't let her be bullied by others."

"Grandpa, Grandma, I would never bully Er Ya. She's my wife, and I'm going to spoil her."

Liu Aimin and Hu Aifen were much better, but they were just a little more tactful than the two elderly people.

After finishing my meal, I said goodbye to everyone and then went home.

"Brother Cheng, my elders are all doing well, right?"

Cheng Guangxu nodded, "Yes, they're all fine, quite cute." He couldn't help but wonder, had Zhang Shouyi also received such treatment?

Little did he know that these old people weren't so cruel to Zhang Shouyi. It wasn't that they didn't care about Zhang Hongmei; rather, they were hoping that Zhang Shouyi would make a mistake so they could bring their daughter back.

After arriving home, I hurriedly packed my things, then realized I hadn't brought clothes for my grandmother, which was because I was in a hurry.

"Hurry up, your grandma is waiting at home. Bring everything."

Finally, Er Ya had no choice but to quickly pack up the gifts she had brought: two tubs of malted milk powder, four bottles of good wine, and two bags of pastries. San Ya went with the two of them.

"Grandma, I brought my boyfriend over for you to meet."

"Good, good. This young man is good-looking. Hurry up and get him on the kang (heated brick bed). Zhuzi, hurry up and put the table up, bring out the peanuts and melon seeds. We always serve fruit and tea when we entertain a new son-in-law here."

"Grandma, this is the new clothes my sister bought for you, and some malted milk powder. They said that drinking malted milk powder is good for the elderly."

"Hehe, why waste money!" Although the old man said this, the happy smile on his face could not be faked.

"Grandma, I'll come pick you up tomorrow. Wear your new clothes. My sister's engagement will be a happy occasion."

"Do I need you to pick me up? I can go by myself. You just stay home with your sister."

Cheng Guangxu sat with the old woman on the kang (a heated brick bed) and said, "Grandma, why don't you come and live with us in the capital?"

"Hehe, I'm not going now. Er Ya, why don't you help your brother Zhu Zi find someone? Talk to Hong Mei too, and ask her to put in some effort."

Zhu Zi blushed deeply.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll ask Hongmei when I get back. The people she introduces are all well-known and better than my classmates. They're all too picky."

"Yes, Grandma is really looking forward to your brother Zhuzi getting married soon."

The old man kept giving Cheng Guangxu food, which made Sanya very envious.

"Grandma, now you only have eyes for my brother Cheng."

"You brat, how can you complain about this? Eat whatever you want. Do you expect me to serve you?"

"No way! It's just that you're too good to my Brother Cheng."

"Sigh! It's not easy being a woman. I'm good to my son-in-law because I want him to remember my kindness and be good to your sister in the future."

"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely treat Er Ya well."

"That's good, that's good. We old folks are only happy when you're all well."

Er Ya's two uncles and aunt also came over, and there was another round of greetings.

"We didn't know when you were coming, so we went to the market. You can't be upset, son-in-law," the aunt said with a smile.

"It's alright, you're an elder."

My younger cousins ​​also came in to say hello.

The Zhu family has a good family tradition. The children are all very well-behaved. Cheng Guangxu took out the stationery he had bought for them and asked them to distribute it.

Because Zhuzi got into university, his family attaches great importance to his education.

"Son-in-law, you have three older cousins. They haven't arrived yet, but I reckon they'll be here tomorrow."

"Auntie, how about we send Stone and Brother Pillar to pick them up?"

"No need, we're all real relatives, why make such a fuss?"

Er Ya felt stupid. She hadn't thought of many things. This was a really close relative. If it were someone else, it would have really caused an unpleasant situation.

"Grandma, we need to go to my eldest uncle's and second uncle's houses to tell them."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Come over for dinner tonight."

Er Ya didn't refuse, and the three of them went home.

"Mom, I forgot to invite my cousin."

"I was so busy I forgot."

"Do we still need to go to my uncle's house?"

"We have to go."

What should we bring?

"Your dad bought a lot at the market, shall I go see what I need?"

Finally, Li Cuihua packed two bottles of wine and a bag of pastries for the family. Feeling that the items were a bit few, she went to the inner room and took out a piece of cloth with a particularly bright color. Sanya helped to shake it out and divided it among the family.

"These are the ones."

The three of them took something to their uncle's house.

I didn't stay long; I just invited them to my house for drinks the day after tomorrow.

Afterwards, he hurriedly went back to get his things and went to his second uncle's house.

Er Ya is a girl. Even if both families feel that they are not valued enough, there is a new son-in-law. It's not a wedding, just an engagement, so they don't complain.

Finally home, Er Ya sat on the sofa. "Luckily, there were no aunts or anything like that, otherwise I would have had to go to the neighboring village to deliver the good news."

"You're partly to blame. The older I get, the more forgetful I become. I should have had you prepare this this morning."

"Mom, it's okay. We've already been there, haven't we? We just gave away all of Dad and Dad's things."

"You're my daughter, why do you need to be so clear about the distinction?"

Voices came from the courtyard; it turned out to be the village girls who had come. Actually, all the girls around Er Ya's age were already married; those who came were younger than Er Ya and older than San Ya.

Li Cuihua hurriedly laid out peanuts, melon seeds, sugar, and snacks. Luckily, Liu Maocai had gone to the market, otherwise there would have been no sugar at home.
