After putting away the letter severing ties, Zhang Yumei suddenly asked, "Ahui, how are things going with Qinqin lately? If things are going well, let's get settled down soon."
Xu Junhui then remembered that Chen Zhaodi had also mentioned this matter to him earlier today, and quickly said, "I forgot to mention, Qinqin's family also brought it up today!"
"My aunt asked me to come back and ask if you're free next week. If you are, we can have a meal together as a family and discuss our matters."
Zhang Yumei gave Xu Junhui a disdainful look: "Why didn't you say something so important sooner!"
"Forget next week, let's do it tomorrow! Go to Qinqin's house now and ask if it's convenient for her to come over for lunch tomorrow. If it is, we'll come over for lunch tomorrow!"
Xu Junhui had planned to tell them as soon as he got back, but before he could, Xu Jingui and his gang started causing trouble.
Although he felt it was a bit rushed to go tomorrow, Xu Junhui was still very happy if he could finalize the wedding plans sooner.
He happily replied, "Okay, I'll go ask now."
After washing my hands, I immediately set off on my bicycle.
Zhang Yumei was also very happy. The thought that if everything went smoothly, she would soon have a daughter-in-law made her extremely happy.
She had been waiting for this day for so long. Most of her peers already had grandchildren, but she didn't even have a daughter-in-law.
However, considering that she was going to discuss the wedding arrangements tomorrow, she needed to go out and buy some things. It was her first time visiting, and she couldn't be impolite.
After returning to her room with the money and tickets, Zhang Yumei prepared to leave.
Seeing that Zhang Yumei seemed to be about to leave, Xu Hongxia called out loudly, "Mom! Mom! Where are you going?"
"I'm going out to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things so I can bring them with me when I visit them tomorrow."
Xu Hongxia's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she excitedly stood up and said, "Me too! Me too!"
"Mom, wait for me!"
They left behind the unfinished cardboard box, and Xu Weiguo, scurrying off after Zhang Yumei.
Xu Weiguo watched the mother and her two children leave separately, feeling like he was invisible, as no one asked him if they were going or not.
After sighing, he continued pasting cardboard boxes. But the more he pasted, the more uncomfortable he felt. He thought to himself, "When Zhang Yumei comes back later, I must have a good talk with her. We're not really short of money. She shouldn't take these odd jobs anymore. I finally got two days off, and now I have to paste cardboard boxes..."
......
Huang Qinqin looked at Xu Junhui, who had returned, with some surprise: "Why are you back again? Did you leave something behind?"
Xu Junhui shook his head, his eyes full of joy, and said softly to Huang Qinqin, "No, my parents said they wanted to ask if you and your aunt are free tomorrow, and they'd like to come over for dinner tomorrow."
Huang Qinqin understood Xu Junhui's subtext, but she was still a little shy when she thought about discussing marriage soon. She blushed and went to call Chen Zhaodi out.
Upon hearing that Xu Junhui had arrived, Chen Zhaodi guessed that he was there to discuss the meeting between the two families.
When Xu Junhui asked them if it would be okay to come tomorrow, they agreed, even though it felt a bit rushed.
Upon hearing the reply, Xu Junhui didn't plan to stay any longer. He needed to go back early to tell his parents that there were still many things he needed to prepare for their visit the next day.
After seeing Xu Junhui off, Chen Zhaodi called Huang Eryuan over and instructed him, "We don't have many meat coupons left this month. They're coming over for dinner tomorrow, so we need to prepare some meat. Go and exchange some meat coupons with the others now."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Chen Zhaodi looked around the yard and kitchen and suddenly felt that everything was in a mess. She said to Huang Qinqin, "Go and call your eldest and second brothers out. Why do they stay in their rooms all day on their days off?"
"Oh~"
Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun, who were reading in their room, had no choice but to put down their books and see what was going on when they heard their younger sister say that Chen Zhaodi wanted them to come out.
“Junhui just came over and said he’ll come over for lunch tomorrow. Look how messy our yard is. Let’s tidy it up while it’s still early.”
Huang Jianjun: ......
"Mom, what's messy here? It's perfectly clean."
Upon hearing Huang Jianjun's bold statement, Huang Qinqin and Huang Jianguo simultaneously took a few steps back.
Chen Zhaodi slapped Huang Jianjun on the back, making him wince in pain. Only then did he realize that he might have said something wrong.
She wanted her older brother and younger sister to put in a good word for her, but when she turned around, she realized that they were only a few meters away from her, even though they had just been right next to her!
"Big brother, little sister, you all..."
When they heard Huang Jianjun call them, one looked up at the sky and the other at the ground, but none of them looked at Huang Jianjun.
Seeing their expressions, Huang Jianjun knew he couldn't rely on them, so he quickly admitted defeat: "Mom~ I was just joking, I'll get ready right now, haha."
Chen Zhaodi and the others also started to get to work, striving to present Xu Junhui's family with a clean and tidy courtyard tomorrow.
......
After Huang Eryuan left, he planned to go to a familiar house first to ask if there were any meat tickets left, and if so, he would exchange some for meat.
They say it's an exchange, but the rest is just buying it with money. It's just that the current environment is quite sensitive, so no one dares to say it directly.
Most of the time, people would choose to exchange tickets for tickets. If they couldn't exchange them, they would buy them with money. If they still couldn't buy them with money, they would have to go to the black market.
However, most people, unless they are desperate, will not sell things on the black market, because the risks are simply too great.
