"I haven't had a chance to say it yet."
Although Third Uncle had already reassured Huo Tingzhou over the phone.
But Huo Tingzhou didn't dare to speak to his family about this matter without her personal approval.
"When you pass by the post office later, give them a call."
Marriage is a matter between two families, and Jiang Si felt that she should inform them both out of courtesy and reason.
Huo Tingzhou nodded, and the two quickly went to the post office.
"Hello~ who is this?"
"Grandma, it's me."
Mr. and Mrs. Huo were not home at the time, so Mrs. Huo answered the phone. She was overjoyed to hear that it was Huo Tingzhou calling.
"Xiaozhou, it's been so long since you called. How have you been? Is everything alright?"
"Yes, yes, don't worry, your grandpa and I are in good health, as are your parents, so you don't need to worry."
"By the way, are you coming back for Chinese New Year this year?"
Grandma Huo was about to say, "You haven't come back for the New Year for two years," when a soft, sweet female voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
"grandmother--"
When she heard the other person call her "Grandma", Grandma Huo was taken aback at first, and then frowned.
"Xiaozhou, give him the phone."
As soon as Huo Tingzhou got the receiver, he was met with a barrage of scolding from Grandma Huo.
"Xiaozhou, you've disappointed me so much! You can't be so ungrateful, don't you understand?"
"You and Si are already engaged, how can you still go and flirt with other girls!"
"Did you learn all those things in the army all these years for nothing?"
Huo Tingzhou thought to himself, "Who did I offend?"
"Grandma, let me explain—"
"I won't listen!"
Grandma Huo stated her position directly.
"Anyway, let me tell you, I won't acknowledge any of my other granddaughters-in-law except for Si Yatou, and you don't need to bring them back!"
"And this matter, I will neither help you cover it up nor plead for you."
"If your dad breaks your legs then, you deserve it!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingzhou sighed helplessly. At this moment, Jiang Si took the receiver again.
"Grandma, I am Sisi."
What?
Is she Si Si?
Grandma Huo thought she had misheard, but upon closer listening, the voice did indeed sound somewhat like Si Yatou.
"Si girl, you...you went to Qiongzhou Island?"
"Yes, it just arrived yesterday."
Before Grandma Huo could recover from the shock, Jiang Si continued.
"Grandma, the main reason we're calling today is to tell you that we're planning to get married."
...
The news of their impending marriage not only stunned Grandma Huo, but also left the rest of the Huo family somewhat bewildered.
It's no wonder they reacted so strongly.
They knew perfectly well how much the young master of the Jiang family resisted this marriage.
Otherwise, the third son wouldn't be nearly thirty and still unmarried!
Of course, this is the idea of the first wife and the second wife.
Because the fourth wife had only been married for a short time, she was not very familiar with these matters concerning the Huo family.
In addition, the fourth brother's wife was not one to gossip, so she didn't react much when she heard the news.
At this moment, the most excited person in the family was Mrs. Huo!
She didn't know what sins she had committed in her past life, but in this life, it was as if she had stirred up a nest of sons, as she gave birth to four sons in one go.
The eldest son, Huo Tingtao, works in a municipal government department, and his eldest daughter-in-law, Su Shanshan, is a nurse at the municipal military hospital.
The couple had three sons after their marriage: the eldest was 10 years old, the second was 8 years old, and the youngest was 7 years old.
I'm currently six months pregnant with my fourth baby, and judging by the way she looks, it's probably another boy.
The second son, Huo Tingze, serves as the head of the Procurement Section of the General Logistics Department, while his wife, Yang Meina, works at the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau.
The couple also had sons after their marriage, one aged 7 and the other 5.
The fourth son, Huo Tinghan, got married this summer. He and his youngest daughter-in-law, Guan Xue, are both researchers at the Municipal Academy of Sciences.
The couple currently has no plans to have children.
Of all the children, Huo's mother felt most indebted to her third son.
The third child was only 6 years old when he was lost, and when he came back, he had grown into a tall young man of over 1.8 meters. During that time, she did not fulfill her responsibilities as a mother for a single day.
Not long after the third son returned to the Huo family, he chose to join the army.
He was gone for another ten years.
For the past ten years, the third brother has been stationed on Qiongzhou Island, traveling all over the country, and can't come back even once a year.
Huo's mother knew that he had never felt a sense of belonging in this family, which was why he wanted to go out and make a name for himself.
She could understand all of that.
She had no other requests, she just hoped that her third son would have someone who cared for him and kept him company.
However, Qiongzhou Island is located in a remote area, and the third brother has to go on missions from time to time.
Huo's mother was truly ashamed to send her pampered daughter to the island to suffer alongside her son.
She had already mentally prepared herself for the possibility that the marriage would most likely fall through.
I never expected the surprise to come so suddenly!
After calming down, Huo's mother asked, "Mom, did they say whether the wedding will be held in Beijing or Shanghai? If it's in Shanghai, we need to go there as soon as possible to make the arrangements."
The Jiang family only has one precious daughter, and this time she's marrying far away. Mother Huo is unwilling to make her suffer in this matter.
After saying that, he glanced at Huo's father and said, "The National Day holiday is over, you shouldn't be busy anymore, right?"
"Take a couple of days off when you have time, and we'll go to Shanghai together to visit your in-laws."
