Zhao Yilu, who was chewing on a pig's trotter, couldn't stand it anymore when he heard what He Zhengxiang said. He said, "Grandpa, if I hadn't been such a jerk, would I have been able to bring you such a good granddaughter-in-law? So, don't worry about Big Brother's affairs. We should trust Big Brother!"

He Siyan gave Zhao a grateful look along the way.

Then, he turned to look at He Zhengxiang, his tone filled with seriousness and determination: "Grandpa, I understand your concerns, and I know my identity and responsibilities. I will act cautiously and will not let any rumors affect Yuting's reputation. I will never do anything that will damage the reputation of either family. You can rest assured!"

Seeing this, Zhao Xuqi interjected at the right moment, his tone gentle and soothing. "Yes, let's not worry too much about their young people's affairs. Si Yan has always been a worry-free child. I believe he has his own way. Besides, I think the girl from the Xie family is also a sensible and good girl. They will know how to handle their relationship well."

We should arrange marriages for the two children as soon as possible and let them interact with each other as an engaged couple. This way, we won’t have to worry about outsiders gossiping about them.”

"Yes, yes, yes. Didn't we tell the eldest grandson of the Xie family yesterday? We will ask their family in a couple of days what they think and see if we can arrange the marriages of the two children in the first month of the year. Si Yan and Yi Lu both have good taste in choosing wives. Once Si Yan gets married, we will be completely relieved!" Sun Simin said in a gentle tone without any haste.

Fan Xi was listening with great interest, secretly feeling happy about the warm atmosphere of this family meeting.

After listening to everyone's words, He Zhengxiang's expression gradually eased. He sighed and said, "I am also very anxious. If it weren't for the fact that they are still in school, I would have discussed with Old Xie to let the two children get married. That way, maybe we can have another little baby in the family next year.

No, I'm going to call the Xie family later and have a good chat with Old Xie's eldest son. We need to get the two kids engaged as soon as possible and get married right after graduation. We can't delay it any longer, otherwise the other kids along the way will be left out, and he, as the eldest brother, will be left far behind!"

After He Zhengxiang finished speaking, he couldn't help but eat a few grams faster.

No one said anything else and let Mr. He do it. After all, they were all very happy to see it and hoped that He Siyan and Xie Yuting could get engaged soon.

He Siyan secretly wiped the sweat from his palms. He had originally planned to get engaged to Xie Yuting as soon as he graduated, but he didn't expect the old man to be more anxious than him. So he just let him be. After all, the kid named Wu had not given up on Xie Yuting, and he had always felt uneasy.

After dinner, He Zhengxiang couldn't wait to call the Xie family and had a warm conversation with Xie Yuting's father Xie Hui on the phone.

Xie Yihui also served in the army, and he had admiration and respect for He Zhengxiang, the elder commander, and always responded to He Zhengxiang's words enthusiastically.

After hearing the purpose of He Zhengxiang's call, Xie Hui fell silent. He thought that the old man was here to give him advice on his career, but it turned out that he was here to help his eldest grandson to get his own food!

After a moment of silence, Xie Hui nodded in agreement. After all, his father and daughter were willing, and even if he was reluctant to marry his daughter off, he couldn't keep her. It was better to agree to it immediately. However, he would still have to think carefully when He Siyan came to propose marriage in the future!

The two chatted on the phone for a while, and finally Mr. He made the final decision to hold the engagement banquet on the tenth day of the first lunar month. Since both children had not graduated yet, the engagement banquet would not be a big one. The two families would just have a meal together, and then they would hold a grand wedding ceremony and invite friends from all walks of life in Beijing to attend.

The matter was happily decided. In order not to miss the engagement party of He Siyan and Xie Yuting, Fan Xi decided to go to Ji'nan in advance, so that he could catch up with the engagement party after returning from Ji'nan.

…

After staying with the old man for a few days, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the couple set off for Ji'nan, using the excuse that they wanted to go to Ji'nan to meet the comrades Zhao Yilu had met on his way to Guicheng.

Fan Xi remembered that his father once told him that their hometown was Yuanshan Village, Ji'an County. Later, he was admitted to a university in Wuhan in the south and met his mother from Yunnan Province. The two of them fell in love and settled in Wuhan after graduation and found a job.

Later, they brought the elderly from both sides to Wuqi, and Fan Xi grew up in Wuqi since he was a child.

When Fan Xi was a child, he went back to his hometown in Ji'nan twice with his parents. When he grew up, his grandparents moved to Wuhan, and Fan Xi never came again. He didn't know if he could find them this time.

Fan Xi pushed Zhao Yilu onto the train with a nervous heart. No matter what, he decided to wait and see.
