Hu Guangcong and Hu Guangcai simultaneously pulled Feng Yun's hands away.
Hu Guangcai looked at the two people sitting upright in front of him and said, "Mom, what are you doing? Is there anything that your eldest son cannot see?"
Hu Guangcong blinked his eyes. Did he miss something just now?
"Sister, why is your face so red?"
He stretched his neck to look at Zhou Xiong again, and saw that his face was also very red, which made him very puzzled.
"Brother Zhou, why is your face so red?"
Feng Yun gave him a displeased look and said, "Let me slap you twice and see if your face turns red."
Hu Guangcong's eyes widened, not understanding Feng Yun's words at all. "Did you slap each other?"
Feng Yun: “…”
Not to mention Feng Yun, even Hu Guangcai couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, Fifth Brother, no one will think you're dumb if you don't speak."
Feng Yun had no choice but to change the subject as he saw that everyone was feeling awkward.
"Zhou Xiong, your parents didn't say anything, right?"
Zhou Xiong coughed lightly, and it took him a while to suppress the embarrassment in his heart.
"No, I told them about your family's situation, and they said this arrangement was very reasonable and would save a lot of trouble. They've already gone to the restaurant in advance, and we'll just meet up with them when we get there."
"Well, your parents are open-minded. Chunhua is lucky."
Zhou Xiong was also happy to hear his parents were praised. "Well, my parents are very good. They respect our ideas."
"I know. I've dealt with your mother a few times. She's quite straightforward. By the way, Zhou Xiong, I've never asked you, what is your current position in the army?"
"I just became the deputy battalion commander."
"Deputy battalion commander, you became deputy battalion commander in just five years, that's amazing." Feng Yun praised him sincerely. Military ranks in the army are earned through military merit. Zhou Xiong was able to become deputy battalion commander in five years, which shows that he is very hardworking and has a bright future.
"It was the leader who promoted me."
After a moment of silence, Zhou Xiong recalled what his mother had told him. He then asked, "Aunt Feng, is your family's situation really going to be alright if we don't visit them?"
When proposing marriage, one usually goes directly to the girl's house. They didn't go, although it was because the Hu family was in chaos now, but if this matter got out, their Zhou family would inevitably have a bad reputation.
"It's okay. I'll definitely get this done in a few days."
With these words, Zhou Xiong felt relieved.
The car drove smoothly all the way, but even though Hu Chunhua was sitting in the front, she couldn't help feeling carsick.
When passing by the foot of a mountain, Feng Yun noticed a few mint plants and asked Zhou Xiong to stop the car.
After picking a few mint plants, Feng Yun broke the mint leaves, crushed them and massaged them on Hu Chunhua's temples for a while until Chunhua felt much better. Then they set off again.
"Aunt Feng, it turns out mint can cure motion sickness. My mom also suffers from motion sickness."
"Next time I'll process it and make it into medical patches and send some to you. You just need to stick the patches on your temples when you're riding in the car."
"Well, my mom is very carsick. It takes her half a day to get to the city by car. If you can make her ride more comfortable, she will definitely be very grateful to you."
After a while, the car stopped in front of the state-owned hotel.
Zhou's father and mother came over to greet them warmly.
"Hey, Feng Yun, you're here. Guangcai, Guangcong, this is Chunhua, right? I haven't seen you for a while. I almost didn't recognize you. You're so beautiful."
Feng Yun and the others knew that Zhou's mother was just being polite, but they were also very happy that their family members were being praised.
"No, no, it's Zhou Xiong who has changed the most. He's such a good boy. Your family is so lucky to have two filial children."
Father Zhou said, "Let's go in quickly."
After several people went in together, they sat down together.
Zhou's mother is a straightforward person and doesn't say anything empty.
She took out all the things she had bought and told them one by one, then said, "Feng Yun, you know, our Daxiong is old, and I'm looking forward to him getting married soon so that I can have grandchildren. When I came back this time, I also made it clear to him that he must bring a wife to the army, so what I mean is that we should get things done in the next few days."
She took out a cloth bag and opened it layer by layer, and finally a silver bracelet came out.
"This silver bracelet was given to me by my mother. We have a pair. The other one was given to my second son's wife, and this one is for my eldest son's wife."
As she spoke, she handed over another passbook.
"This is the money Nobita has sent back over the years. Except for the part that he spent, the rest is all here.
Daxiong is a very honest child and sends back his monthly allowance, but we are not ignorant parents. We have saved the child's hard-earned money, except for the money we have no choice but to spend. When they get married, we will give it to Chunhua to spend in their little home.
Zhou Xiong's allowance has increased from 15 yuan at the beginning to 53.8 yuan now, which adds up to more than 1,000 yuan.
But life was tough at the time, and the Zhou family had spent quite a bit of money, leaving them with only 627.5 yuan left.
Zhou's mother counted out in detail where the money was spent and what was left, and Feng Yun did not interrupt her.
It can be seen that the Zhou family is indeed full of sincerity.
For ordinary families, before the family is divided, the money belongs to the grandfather, and whether it can be divided or not depends on the elderly.
People like Zhou's mother are extremely rare.
Six hundred yuan is not a small amount at this time.
But this money originally belonged to Zhou Xiong, and it was different from the betrothal gift.
After Zhou's mother explained the matter clearly, she took out another one hundred and sixty-eight from her pocket.
"This one hundred and sixty-eight is a token of our two elders' love and a gift to Chunhua. Do you have any other requests?"
Feng Yun was not dissatisfied with Zhou's mother's arrangement.
"We won't take a cent of what you give Chunhua. We'll give it all to Chunhua. In addition, I'll give her another 68 yuan as her dowry."
Zhou's father and mother looked at each other. Some of the sons of the old Hu family were studying, while others were unmarried. They didn't expect Feng Yun to be so generous that she didn't keep any of the betrothal gifts.
"this……"
"But I also have something to say." Feng Yun interrupted Zhou's mother and said, "You also know the current situation of our family. Chunhua doesn't hate getting married, but we don't want to make a big deal about it, for fear of causing trouble."
Feng Yun and Chunhua had already discussed this matter last night. As long as the two children were doing well, all those etiquettes and such were unnecessary.
Zhou's father and mother glanced at each other, and Zhou's mother asked, "Do you mean that you don't hold a wedding ceremony for your parents, or that our Zhou family doesn't hold one very often?"
"I definitely can't interfere with what the Zhou family does. What I'm saying is that we don't hold a return visit ceremony here. In my opinion, as long as the children are happy, what others say is not important."
