Volume 1 Chapter 29 Discussing Marriage
Before she came, she was afraid that the Sheng family would not be satisfied with her. After all, Sheng Wanze was really outstanding.
"Thank you, auntie."
Mother Sheng treated everyone to dinner. She served Sheng Wanyan a bowl of soup and put two large bones in it.
"For your sister. She got up early this morning and has been busy all day."
Sheng Wanze took it and handed it to Sheng Wanyan who was standing beside him. Sheng Wanyan lowered her head and drank the loving soup given by her mother.
"My dear, you have raised your son and daughter very well. The boy is handsome and the girl is beautiful."
Mother Pan looked at Sheng Wanyan's delicate little face. She thought that even in Kyoto, she couldn't find a girl more beautiful than her.
“It’s all the child’s own blessing.”
Sheng's mother smiled happily. How could a mother remain calm when her child was praised?
If the world didn't allow it, she would have celebrated with drums and gongs.
Pan Yue was also secretly looking at Sheng Wanyan. After all, she was her future sister-in-law, and it was important to establish a good relationship with her.
If there is a conflict between her aunt and sister-in-law, her life in the Sheng family will be difficult in the future.
You won’t know unless you look carefully. You’ll be shocked when you see it. Sheng Wanyan’s future sister-in-law is even prettier than anyone in the art troupe.
She is not at all like others who are skinny and lifeless. Her whole body looks rosy, just like a peach.
Sheng Wanyan raised her head and looked at her. Pan Yue was caught peeking at her and felt very embarrassed.
Sheng Wanyan smiled at her, and Pan Yue also smiled embarrassedly. The awkward atmosphere between the two of them eased a lot in an instant.
Sheng Wanyan ate meat calmly while listening to the elders in the family discussing their engagement.
"My dear, Lao Pan and I are usually busy, and it's hard for us to spare the time to get engaged in such a hurry."
"You know the situation in our family. Because of the nature of my and Lao Pan's work, we don't have much vacation time. Do you think it would be better to arrange the marriage of the two children as soon as possible?"
Pan's mother is really busy. As the head nurse of a military hospital, she has to work overtime every day, and taking a long vacation is a luxury.
"Your Xiaoze is a subordinate of my old Pan. He is a capable and courageous child. Our family is very satisfied with him."
"The nature of my Lao Pan's job is the same as your Xiaoze's. Xiaoyue will definitely become a qualified military wife in the future. She has this awareness."
When Sheng's mother heard what Pan's mother said, she felt relieved. It was really hard to be a military wife while her husband was working hard on missions outside.
A woman has to take care of all the big and small things at home by herself. Without a husband who understands her feelings, she is bound to be disappointed.
"Mother-in-law, you also know that my son Xiaoze is a soldier. It is said that being a soldier's wife is not easy.
Ever since my son went to join the army, I, as a mother, have experienced the kind of life that is filled with worry and fear.
Your Xiaoyue is a good child, and the two children love each other. Naturally, I hope they can settle down soon. ”
When Pan's mother heard this, she laughed. Both sides hit it off and hoped that the two of them would get married soon.
"I won't hide it from you. I've been worried about Xiaoze's marriage. You know the situation of our family. We only have this one son.
He has a heavy burden and responsibilities on his shoulders. Xiaoyue was indeed wronged by marrying him. ”
Pan Yue shook her head when she heard this. She had decided on Sheng Wanze. She had thought about all this a long time ago.
"My dear relative, I completely understand your concerns. When my family member Pan was on a mission, we all went through this.
You can rest assured about this. As the daughter of a soldier, our Xiaoyue has already made ideological awareness and psychological preparation. ”
Mother Pan kept giving Mother Sheng reassurances, and she fully understood the worries in Mother Sheng's heart.
"You only have this one son. Since Xiaoyue chose to marry Wanze and become your daughter-in-law, she knows the burden she bears."
"If your Xiaoze does more meritorious deeds in the future, you might be able to apply for a three-bedroom apartment. Then when you retire, you can enjoy your old age in peace."
Pan's mother knew exactly what Sheng's mother wanted to say. She had to admit that Pan's mother understood her concerns and knew what she meant.
"I'll just borrow my mother-in-law's good words."
After the two families had almost discussed everything, they began to talk about the gift price and dowry.
"In our family, we have only one son and one daughter, and we don't favor boys over girls.
The salary that Ozawa sent back before was used as settling-in allowance by the couple after they got married, and the other half was kept for emergency use by the elderly at home.
My stuff and Lao Sheng's stuff will be divided equally between our two children. As for the bride price, it's 666 yuan just for good luck.
My family just bought two bicycles, originally planning to give one to each of our two children after they get married.
However, after Xiaoze and Xiaoyue get married, they will apply for family housing, and if it is inconvenient to take the house away, they can just cash it in.
Sewing machines and watches will be arranged. Sewing machines are big items, so we will pay for the tickets.
Wait until the young couple settles down in the military area, and then buy the house there. This will be convenient and you will definitely not treat Xiaoyue unfairly. ”
Mother Sheng stated their family's conditions, and the Pan family was naturally satisfied when they heard it. It can be said that the Sheng family really showed great sincerity.
This watch, bicycle and sewing machine, any one of them would be a luxury item, but now I have all three.
It can be seen that the Sheng family values their daughter very much. When Pan's father heard this, he felt lucky for his little daughter. He thought that this son-in-law was really the right choice.
Although the Sheng family is not a wealthy family, they are all workers, the elders are harmonious, and the younger generations are sensible. The little girl will definitely have a good life if she marries into the Sheng family.
"My mother-in-law is very thoughtful. We will provide 500 yuan as dowry, and the watches, bicycles, and sewing machines you prepared will all be taken back as dowry."
Pan's mother originally wanted to give 666 yuan, but when she thought about the 500 yuan her eldest daughter gave when she got married, she swallowed the words back.
The 166 yuan is a bit frugal for their family and they can always get it out if they squeeze a little, but it’s better not to let the children complain.
If the two sisters become jealous of each other in the future because of this incident, they will not be able to live like this.
"Okay, it's given to the two children anyway. How the children use it after they get married is their own business."
Sheng's mother was also very satisfied with this. Nowadays, there are many people who marry their daughters without giving them a penny.
There are many cases of marrying off a daughter just to get a dowry. The Pan family is very generous to do so.
The marriage was settled, and they would register for the wedding ceremony the next time the couple came back from vacation!
Sheng Wanze also said that if nothing unexpected happens, he will take a vacation at the end of October, and by then Sheng Wanze will become a married man.
When Pan Yue heard that her marriage to Sheng Wanze was settled, she looked at Sheng Wanze with excitement.
Sheng Wanze picked up a piece of meat for her and gave her a reassuring look.
Sheng Wanyan was sitting aside, eating a lot of dog food. From her position, she could see clearly the two people's sneaky glances.
Sheng Wanyan was eating meat, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Sheng Wanze's marriage is settled, so once this matter is over, won't the family's attention be on her again?
