Zhou Guodong: "What you say is true, but I'm not willing to marry my daughter to you like this!"
He was just going along with it, trying to scare the kid.
"I'm willing to be a live-in son-in-law!" Xiao Wang blurted out. "That's my sincerity!"
These words touched Zhou Guodong, who said, "Kid, once you say something, you can't take it back."
Xiao Wang said, "We men are men of our word, and I'm definitely serious!"
Zhou Guodong stood up excitedly, "Fine, you've got guts, my daughter will marry you!"
Xiao Wang stood up. "Uncle, are you telling the truth?"
Zhou Guodong thought the young man looked thin, but he was quite tall when he stood up, and he was a good match for his daughter.
"Yes! I keep my word! But let me tell you, my daughter didn't marry you to suffer with you; she's going to enjoy a life of happiness!"
"I know I won't let her suffer," Xiao Wang said solemnly. "From now on, I'll do all the chores around the house, whenever I'm home!"
Zhou Guodong nodded in satisfaction. His daughter was getting on in years, and it was time for her to get married.
After the matter was settled, Zhou Guodong gathered his relatives and friends to formally introduce Xiao Wang to the outside world.
On the one hand, it's for their own reputation. Other people's children are already married and have children, some of whom are old enough to run errands.
His daughter had never gotten married, which seemed a bit abnormal to outsiders, and he couldn't bear to see her get married.
I kept thinking of staying for two more years, but now it's really time to get married.
Otherwise, childbirth would be dangerous.
Furthermore, what Xiao Wang said struck a chord with him: if one didn't love their son-in-law very much, how could one go to such lengths to become a live-in son-in-law?
Then I observed how Xiao Wang treated people and things, and he seemed to be a pretty good kid.
Over the course of two days, Xiao Wang met with everyone, and he remained on edge until it was all over and he took a car back with Zhou An'an.
Xiao Wang then relaxed and rested his head on Zhou An'an's shoulder.
"It's finally over. I haven't slept much these past two days."
"Ah! Why didn't you tell me?" Zhou An'an felt sorry for her.
Xiao Wang said, "I was also afraid of putting pressure on you, but thankfully we got through it all."
Zhou An'an: "Indeed, our parents have met, and the next step is to get the marriage certificate. We just need to find a suitable date."
Xiao Wang reached out and put his arm around Zhou An'an's waist, feeling her trembling.
"From now on, you'll be my wife!"
"Mmm!" Zhou An'an responded shyly.
When no one was paying attention, Xiao Wang stole a kiss on the cheek before letting go of the person.
Zhou An'an felt that this was what happiness was like: you're making a fuss, and he's laughing.

Guo Chen stood outside the dumpling restaurant, hesitant to go in, having only heard by chance that Lu Zhixia had opened a restaurant.
Looking through the window, you can see Lu Zhixia, who is already pregnant.
It was just that I mistook someone when I was young and impetuous.
They just missed out.
"What are you looking at!" Gu Lingxiao's deep voice came from behind.
Guo Chen turned around and saw it was him. "I heard from a friend that you opened a restaurant, so I just stopped by to take a look."
Gu Lingxiao: "Then why don't you go in?"
Guo Chen was taken aback, then realized what he meant and asked, "You're willing to let me in?"
Gu Lingxiao patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, don't stand at the door."
I went up the steps, pushed open the door, and went inside to see that the restaurant was still packed with people eating today.
It seems even more lively after the New Year.
Lu Zhixia saw Gu Lingxiao return, holding the grapes she wanted to eat; she'd been particularly fond of sweet things lately.
I especially love grapes, but I don't dare to eat too many, so I only buy one bunch each time to satisfy my craving.
Seeing Guo Chen, he seemed to have aged a lot, with gray hair around his ears, but he was still as gentle and refined as ever.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Yes, it has been a long time indeed." Guo Chen forced a smile.
Lu Zhixia said, "There's an empty table over there, let's try the dumplings from my shop."
Guo Chen: "Okay."
He quickly walked to the empty table and sat down, then looked around and said to Lu Zhixia,
"Your shop is doing good business."
Lu Zhixia felt her body become much clumsy, and subconsciously rubbed her lower back. Then Gu Lingxiao's hand touched her lower back and began to massage it.
"It's alright! It's the weekend, so there are quite a lot of people here."
"How many months pregnant are you?" Guo Chen asked casually, their happiness was dazzling.
"It's been more than four months." Lu Zhixia felt much better in her back, so she gently patted Gu Lingxiao's hand.
Gu Lingxiao let go of Guo Chen's hand and said, "How about beef dumplings? I'll give you a pound!"
“Sure, sure,” Guo Chen agreed.
