"Haha, hahaha, I never thought, I never thought, my grandson would actually have a girl he likes!"
How could the grandmother not understand what her grandson said? It turned out that she had guessed everything.
"Grandma, you've already said that I'm already 26 years old. It's not too much for me to have someone I like at my age, right?"
Fortunately, the skin on Shen Changan’s face was bronze, so the blushing could not be seen, otherwise grandma would definitely roll on the ground with laughter.
"It's not too much, it's not too much. Tell grandma quickly, how old is that girl? Is she pretty? What's her family situation like?"
"Grandma, can you please stop asking about something that's not even started yet? When the girl agrees to my proposal, I'll bring her to you first!"
"No, you have to reveal some basic information about the girl, otherwise grandma won't be able to sleep tonight."
Under grandma's questioning, Shen Changan had to reveal a little bit of information about Jiang Li.
"The girl is in her early 20s, tall and thin, and quite pretty. She is hardworking, smart, and can make money on her own."
"Anyway, she's a cheerful, hardworking, frugal, and versatile girl."
Shen Changan originally planned to say a little bit, but when Jiang Li was mentioned, he couldn't help but say a few more words.
After listening to this, the grandmother nodded thoughtfully, thinking to herself, is there really such a good girl in this world? Could it be that her grandson likes her so much that he only sees her good points?
"Is that girl really that good?"
"Yeah, I only told you part of it. It's actually even better than that. The girl cooks delicious food and can make all kinds of special snacks. That yam glutinous rice cake is so soft and delicious..."
Shen Changan is a man of few words, but he chatters endlessly when talking about the delicious food made by Jiang Li.
It just so happened that grandma was a foodie. When she heard that the girl was good at cooking, she immediately slapped her thigh and confirmed it.
"A girl who can cook is very good. She's a good girl. You must seize the opportunity. By the way, does this girl know about our family situation?"
"If you don't know, tell her right away. Our family is well-off, and you're a decent-looking guy. Logically, the girl wouldn't reject you."
Grandma was a little confused, and Shen Changan was even more at a loss as to what to do. What was Grandma thinking?
"Grandma, the girl knows my family's situation. Because my family's conditions are too good, the girl feels that the gap between our two families is too big, so she rejected me without a second thought."
Shen Changan scratched his head embarrassedly. He was embarrassed to say that he had liked a girl and was rejected.
"Well, this girl is good. She doesn't covet our family's money at all. There are not many girls like her. You should seize the opportunity. You are stupid."
"You knew she was of noble character and didn't want to marry someone above her station, so why did you tell her about her family's financial situation?"
"If you don't say these things, but instead use your own advantages to secretly fall in love with her, and wait until she is physically and mentally attracted to you, then tell her the situation, are you still worried that you won't be able to bring her back?"
Grandma looked at her grandson with a look of disappointment. Shen Changan was speechless. It seemed that no matter what he did, it was wrong. Whatever grandma said was right.
"Yes, yes, grandma is right. I will definitely reflect on my mistakes. I will spend another day with my parents tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will go after your granddaughter-in-law. If my parents bring it up, grandma will have to speak up for me."
Shen Changan never dared to argue with his grandmother, for fear that she would accidentally get angry and hurt her body.
"Grandma has approved this reason. Go ahead and find my granddaughter-in-law. I'll help you settle things with your parents."
Grandma patted her chest and assured her, and Shen Changan breathed a sigh of relief when she got the affirmative answer from her grandmother.
On the road to marrying Jiang Li home, he is now on the same front with his grandmother, and he will no longer have to fight alone.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Shen Changan returned to his home, washed up simply, closed the door and went to bed.
The next morning, just as Shen Changan woke up, Wang Cuimei came to the house with Li Sixue again.
Shen Changan originally wanted to spend some time with his parents today, but now it seems unnecessary.
He washed up directly in the room and didn't even go downstairs to eat breakfast.
Fortunately, Li Sixue came here today to ask her mother to go shopping. After the two women went out, Shen Changan went downstairs.
“Chen Changan, come here.”
As soon as Shen Changan finished breakfast, his father called him to the study.
"Dad, what do you want from me?"
"What do you think of Li Sixue?"
Shen Huadong asked straight to the point. His father had been a soldier for a long time, and he was always so direct in what he said and did.
"I don't have any thoughts. Our two families live so close to each other, and we've known each other for so many years. If I had any feelings for her, I wouldn't have waited until now."
Shen Changan spoke more directly, and Shen Huadong's movement of turning the book paused for a moment.
"Li Sixue's conditions are very good in all aspects. You should consider it again."
Shen Huadong didn’t say much, but the meaning he expressed was very clear and simple, which meant that I have taken a fancy to this daughter-in-law, and you can decide for yourself.
"Dad, I won't consider it."
Shen Changan did not hesitate at all when talking to his father. Once he hesitated and his father made the final decision on the matter, there would be no room for maneuver.
Shen Changan would not be so stupid as to dig a hole for himself. Although his father was testing him this time, it also carried a hint of unquestionableness.
"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Why not consider it?"
Shen Huadong was very puzzled. How could his son have no plans to get married when he was already this age?
"I don't like it, so I won't consider it. Marriage is not a joke. We should treat it with the attitude of "better to be alone than to be in the wrong relationship." Isn't that the principle you taught me?"
Shen Changan refuted him with the principles taught by his father, and Shen Huadong looked at him for a long time without saying anything.
"Okay, Shen Changan, you are very good. If that's the case, why are you so casual about your work? Since it's better to have nothing than to do something mediocre, then you must do it in all aspects. Don't go out after the New Year this time. Take the civil service exam after the New Year and quickly enter the system. I can still take you for a while before I retire."
His son has been out for a few years and has become increasingly wild. If he continues like this, he will be completely out of control. Shen Huadong does not plan to let him go out again this time.
"Dad, I can take the civil service exam, but not this year."
"I'm going to retire at the end of this year. If you don't take the exam now, when will you take it?"
Shen Huadong looked at his son with a serious face. This matter concerned his son's future, so Shen Huadong didn't dare to be careless at all.
"As the old saying goes, first get married and then start a career. I'll first settle my lifelong affairs before considering the civil service exam."
Shen Changan was still talking coherently, but Shen Huadong suddenly slammed the table to interrupt him.
"Asshole, I raised you up to this age and taught you so much knowledge, is this just for you to talk back?"
