Father Li sighed heavily. Originally, when a man and a woman went on a blind date, the man would come to the woman's house, or they would meet at a place outside to talk in detail.
Because her daughter loved Shen Changan so much, she immediately took action when she heard that Wang Cuimei was looking for a partner for her son.
This time he took the initiative to come to Li Sixue's house because she couldn't wait to see him.
Mr. Li knew that this was a degrading behavior, but he couldn't resist his daughter's willingness.
Through this brief meeting, it was obvious that Shen Changan had no feelings for her, and was even a little cold, but his daughter still liked him.
"Even if you marry him like this, it will be very difficult in the future."
"As long as I can marry him, I'm not afraid of hard work!"
Li Sixue clenched her fists and spoke in a strong voice.
But this is the man she has liked for more than ten years, and after waiting for so many years, she finally got the chance. This time, she will not let go no matter what.
"Okay, since you have an idea, then do it your way. But if you suffer, don't come crying to me."
"If you can marry someone you love, it doesn't matter if you get hurt. If you marry someone you don't love, then you will really regret it."
This is Li Sixue’s view on marriage. No matter whether the other party loves her or not, as long as she loves him, it is enough.
Shen Changan ate noodles upstairs. He didn't care whether the people downstairs stayed or left. He had already made up his mind to return to the village on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
On the fourth day of the New Year, Shen Changan stayed at his grandmother's house. He accompanied his grandmother to do handicrafts and told her jokes, which made the old lady laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.
Even dinner was eaten with grandma. After dinner, Shen Changan took grandma's hand and told her solemnly.
"Grandma, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."
"Why are you leaving so early? Even if you want to be a teacher, school hasn't started yet, right? You should at least wait until after the Lantern Festival before leaving, right?"
The old man was reluctant to let his grandson leave, so he took his hand and patted the back of his hand again and again.
"My mom keeps setting me up on blind dates. I'll go crazy if I stay home any longer."
Shen Changan doesn't need to hide anything when talking to grandma, just tell the truth.
"I'm on your mom's side this time. You're old and still single, and your mom is doing this for your own good. Not only your mom, but I'm also trying to find a partner for you."
Grandma talks to her grandson very straightforwardly and says what she means.
"Grandma, 26 is not old at all, and you can't rush things like marriage. If destiny is there, you'll naturally marry and have children. If destiny isn't there, forcing it won't help."
"That's not what I meant. You're out there all day and don't interact with other girls. How can you get a wife without going on blind dates?"
Grandma waved her hand and denied her grandson's statement.
"Grandma, fate is a wonderful thing. Maybe you bump into someone on the street and love will come. Or maybe you just glance back and see someone in the dim light."
"Li Sixue and I have known each other since we were little. I had no feelings for her when I was little, and I have even less feelings now that I'm older. My mom is just worrying about nothing. Anyway, it's impossible for her and I to be together."
Shen Changan knew that his grandmother would sometimes gossip, especially about him.
He said these words to his grandmother so that she could pass them on to his mother later.
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I just want to know when you will bring my granddaughter-in-law back to me."
"Grandma, I'll bring you one by the end of next year. What do you think?"
Shen Changan lowered his voice and spoke quietly to his grandmother.
"Really? You didn't lie to me, old man?"
When the grandmother heard this, she became interested. Her grandson, who had never had a girlfriend, actually wanted to bring her a granddaughter-in-law within a year?
"Really? It's truer than gold! But I have one condition. For the next year, don't introduce me to anyone. Just let me be as independent as I want, okay?"
Grandma came back to her senses from her joy and thought to herself, isn't this a delaying tactic used by her grandson?
Should I agree or not? It seemed like there was nothing to lose by agreeing. It was only a year, and being 26 or 27 wouldn't make much of a difference.
"Okay, I promise."
"Then when you go back, grandma, please help persuade my mother that there is no possibility for me and that little girl Si Xue. Please tell her to stop making trouble. It would be bad to delay the little girl."
"Leave your mother's place to me, but you must keep your word. I'm old and don't have many years left to live. My greatest wish in this life is to see you get married and have children. I not only want to see your granddaughter-in-law, I also want to see my great-grandson!"
Grandma said to Shen Changan earnestly that people in their 70s live one year less each year, and what she said is true.
"Grandma, don't worry, your grandson won't let you down."
If Jiang Li hadn't accepted him yet, Shen Changan would have wanted to bring them back to show off in front of his grandmother.
Jiang Li is so smart and talented, and the two little babies look very much like him when he was a child. I believe grandma will like them very much when she sees them.
"Grandma, let me ask you something. You said that marriage must be between equals, but now I have to sleep with someone I don't love."
"Or should I marry someone I love, have a few cute babies, and live happily together forever?"
Shen Changan had guessed his parents' thoughts a long time ago. Although grandma was an old lady, she was more open-minded than his parents.
"Well, they each have their own advantages. Grandma thinks that when choosing a partner, we should not only consider family conditions, but also ideological and moral qualities."
"If the other party values you as a person, not your family background, and the girl is beautiful and kind, then it doesn't really matter if they are not a good match."
"Life is so short, you have to live for yourself. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can earn money and support yourself, and don't rely on your family. Then you can decide your own marriage."
Grandma said earnestly, Shen Changan nodded, and now he finally had an idea in his mind.
Even if the whole world doesn't support him, at least grandma is on his side.
"Grandma, you are worthy of being my favorite grandma. I'm glad you think so."
"What? From what you said, it seems that you have someone you like, and the girl doesn't like you now? Are you pursuing her?"
Grandma is such a smart person. Even though her grandson asked so many questions, she quickly extracted important information from them.
"Grandma, can you keep it a secret for now?"
Shen Changan didn’t want grandma to know the truth so soon.
"No, you have to tell me the truth, otherwise don't even think about asking me to speak for you!"
Grandma is a naughty old woman. She finally got the chance to control her grandson. How could she miss such a good opportunity?
"Grandma, you already know this. Aren't you asking even though you already know the answer?"
