But no one took it seriously.
After all, Xu Ying is beautiful and capable. Not only is she valued by the directors of the food factory and the textile factory, but she has also brought many benefits to the villagers of Yushan Commune.
Everyone thinks that such an outstanding girl will definitely marry into a big city in the future.
By then, she can find a partner who matches her in terms of conditions and abilities, and the Xu family loves their daughter so much.
There is no way I would agree to let my daughter marry that boy Huo Chen!
After all, the Huo family is far inferior to the Xu family.
Huo Chen and his grandmother were carrying a lot of things in the early morning. The villagers who saw them couldn't help but look curious: "Huo Chen, you and your grandmother are carrying so many good things, what are you going to do?"
Grandma Huo was in a good mood. She wore the new clothes her grandson bought for her today. Her face was full of smiles. "I'm taking my grandson to the Xu family to propose marriage."
When these words were spoken, the villagers of Xujia Village were all shocked.
It’s not that they look down on the Huo family, it’s just that the Xu family is far inferior to the Huo family.
None of them were optimistic about this marriage.
Only Xu Qingqing was eager for Huo Chen to marry Xu Ying as soon as possible.
By that time, Xu Ying would marry someone from the village. If she married someone in the city, she would be superior to Xu Ying.
When she thought of this, Xu Qingqing was filled with excitement, and she wished she could let everyone in Xujia Village know that Xu Ying and Huo Chen were going to get married.
She is a big mouth and always tells good things about her cousin to everyone she meets.
In just half an hour, everyone in Xujia Village knew that Huo Chen was going to get engaged to Xu Ying.
Suddenly, everyone in the village began to wonder whether this marriage could be successful.
The Xu family started cleaning up yesterday, and they cleaned the house inside and out very well.
Father Xu even asked his second son to buy some candies when he got off work, intending to distribute them to people in the village after the engagement was completed to share in the good fortune.
Xu Ying put on the red jacket she bought yesterday. The weather was not very cold now, so the jacket was just right for her.
She was wearing a bright red outfit and light makeup, making her look festive and beautiful.
The Xu family's yard became even more lively. All the members of the Xu family came, including the two aunts.
And her grandmother's family relatives.
It took up the entire yard and was packed with people.
There were two tables in the yard and two more tables upstairs.
Huo Chen took Grandma Huo with him. All of Grandma Huo's relatives had been cut off since the accident.
The entrance to the Xu family's house was crowded with people. Seeing that the Xu family's yard was filled with unfamiliar faces and married daughters of the Xu family, anyone with a discerning eye could immediately guess that today's engagement was probably real.
"Captain's wife, are you really going to get engaged to that boy Huo Chen? Yingying is such a good girl with all the good conditions, why did you choose a country boy like us?" Zhang Lancao was puzzled.
Xu's mother didn't take it seriously, her face full of joy: "What's wrong with being a country bumpkin? Aren't we all country bumpkins? My daughter is also a country bumpkin, but that doesn't stop her from being capable.
I also watched Huo Chen grow up. He is filial, capable, and kind to my daughter."
Hearing Xu's mother praising her future son-in-law, many young men in Xujia Village were very sad.
If they had known that Xu Ying would marry a country boy, they would have tried harder.
Now these young men are feeling regretful.
Xu Ying was favored at home, she was pretty, a good cook, and was a leader in two factories. No one could even dream of such good conditions.
But who would have thought that she would end up dating a country guy.
What a pity.
Not only the young man felt regretful, but several middle-aged women also felt regretful.
If I had known this earlier, I would have encouraged my son to pursue Xu Ying as well.
Huo Chen and Grandma Huo came to the door of Xu's house with things.
Huo Chen was carrying wine and meat, as well as several bags filled with clothes.
He was also holding a bouquet of flowers, which was taught to him by Wu Qingsong.
Looking at the flowers in his hand, Huo Chen, a grown man, blushed.
Grandma Huo was holding a wooden box in her hand. There were two hundred yuan in the box. In fact, there was a secret compartment at the bottom, which contained a jade pendant. However, it was not appropriate to give the jade pendant directly as a gift.
She hid it in a secret compartment.
The eldest brother of the Xu family doesn’t have any ideas about his younger sister’s marriage. As long as her parents are satisfied, then it’s fine.
However, the second brother of the Xu family is still confused. His younger sister was actually engaged earlier than him.
It was like a cabbage being eaten by a pig. The more he looked at Huo Chen, the more he disliked him.
I don’t know what my third brother would do if he knew that my younger sister was engaged.
Don't think he doesn't know that his third brother has private dealings with Huo Chen.
At this moment, Chen Chen had quietly pinned down his younger sister. If his third brother knew about this, he would definitely be even more angry.
As Huo Chen walked to the door, Xu Ying slowly walked out from the yard.
When she came out, the young men in the village were even more heartbroken.
Xu Ying has skin as white as snow, a pair of watery and bright eyes, and delicate facial features.
Her long black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, and the red dress suit made her skin look even better. It perfectly outlined her figure, which was exquisite and curvy.
The innate temperament makes her unattainable.
Huo Chen's heart was beating very fast, rapidly and thumpingly. His fingers holding the flowers were slightly curled, his palms were full of sweat, and he saw Xu Ying coming out.
His dark eyes were filled with nervousness and joy. He raised his legs and walked towards Xu Ying. He extended his slender fingers: "Xu Ying, here you go."
All the people in Xujia Village gathered together and formed several circles inside and outside.
Xu Ying was being stared at by so many people. As the protagonist, she felt a little flustered and shy for the first time. She took the flowers awkwardly and covered her blushing face.
As the two people entered the yard, the crowd could no longer see the excitement and dispersed.
The two protagonists in the yard were blushing and being teased by their relatives.
Grandma Huo gave the box to Xu's mother and told her what was under the box: "That was what Huo Chen was carrying when I first met him.
I guess it was given by his family. To be able to give such a valuable thing, that family must have had no choice but to abandon the child.
I will give the jade pendant to Xu Ying when the time comes, and pass it down."
Xu's mother knew a little about Huo Chen's life experience. After taking the things, she and Grandma Huo left the yard.
At lunch, the Huo family and the Xu family sat together.
There were two tables of people upstairs and two tables of people downstairs. Huo Chen and Xu Ying were sitting next to each other.
Uncle Xu was also sitting downstairs, looking at Huo Chen with great displeasure: "Huo Chen, you know how much my niece is spoiled at home, she doesn't know how to do housework.
I'll depend on you when we get married from now on."
Huo Chen sat at the table, still a little nervous in front of so many people from the Xu family. Hearing Uncle Xu's words, he hurriedly said, "I can do housework and wash clothes.
I won’t let Yingying do it, she can just rest at home.”
If the money he earned was not enough to make ends meet, he would not want Xu Ying to go to work.
