"Qi An, how do you plan to organize your wedding with Rongrong?"
Shen Yongjun walked over at some point, and upon hearing Ruan Qi'an mention marriage, he immediately asked excitedly.
My grandson is already thinking about getting married, so how far away is it from having grandchildren?
"Grandpa, Rongrong and I have already discussed the wedding arrangements."
"We hope to keep everything simple, just take a wedding photo, and then take our household registration book to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate."
Soldiers have always valued frugality, and neither he nor Rongrong intended to be extravagant.
However, he would give Rongrong everything she was entitled to.
Ruan Qi'an has handed over all the wages and allowances he has saved up over the years of military service to Lin Rongrong.
When he proposed, he specially sought out a six-carat square sapphire ring as the engagement ring.
They even bought their wedding home near the military district; it was a two-story house with a front and back yard.
"Do Rongrong's parents agree to this?"
Shen Yongjun had no grounds to object to his grandson and granddaughter-in-law's ideas.
He and his wife had already prepared gifts for their grandson's future wife and some funds for their small family.
Whether or not they have a wedding, the money will go to the young couple.
They were just worried that their in-laws might feel that they didn't value Rongrong enough and that she had been wronged by not even having a wedding.
“We had already told my parents-in-law before we came, and they were very supportive of our decision.”
Ruan Qi'an will definitely ask his parents-in-law for their consent before making this. Otherwise, they might overthink things and break him and Rongrong up.
"In that case, let's do it your way, young people."
"When your parents come back from their vacation, find some time to give Rongrong a formal visit."
We must still be mindful of these courtesies.
When the time comes, the elderly couple will bring their son and daughter-in-law to Rongrong's house to present the betrothal gifts, as a sign of respect.
"Grandpa, there's something I'm curious about. Can I ask you about it?"
Ruan Qi'an seemed to be thinking of something, and looked up at Shen Yongjun.
"What's up?"
Shen Yongjun asked.
Why did Grandpa and Grandma decide on Rongrong as their granddaughter-in-law the moment they met her?
Grandma, in particular, gave away such a valuable jade pendant without hesitation.
They had never met Rongrong before, and her grandparents didn't know her personality or character. To say they just clicked would be a stretch.
“You’re wrong. It’s not that we’ve decided she’s our granddaughter-in-law, it’s that you’ve decided she’s your daughter-in-law.”
"Although Grandpa hasn't spent much time with you, Grandpa is confident that my grandson's judgment is sound."
"If you've decided on Rongrong, then she must have something special about her."
Shen Yongjun's judgment of people has been good all these years.
Whether it's the grandson or Rongrong, they're both good.
"Old ginger is spicier, grandson admires it."
Ruan Qi'an grinned.
While waiting for Ruan Hengzhi and his wife, Ruan Qi'an was not idle either.
Since it was Lin Rongrong's first time visiting Beijing, Ruan Qi'an took her sightseeing and bought her a lot of fashionable clothes and local specialties at a department store.
A week later, Ruan Hengzhi and He Ruyi finally returned home.
"Really? The second son really has a girl he likes?"
He Ruyi was quite surprised to hear Liu Sanmei's words when she entered the room.
I called my second brother before, trying to subtly inquire if he had someone he was interested in. Unfortunately, he was tight-lipped and wouldn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, this time it gave her a pleasant surprise.
Not only did he find his sweetheart, but he also won over his future in-laws and even got their household registration certificates.
"Second brother, do you mind waiting a few more days before you and Rongrong get your marriage certificate?"
Ruan Hengzhi looked at Lin Rongrong not far away and asked his son for his opinion.
"Dad, you don't disagree, do you?"
Ruan Qi'an was taken aback.
What does that mean? Making me wait? Could it be that my father doesn't like Rongrong as his daughter-in-law?
But he was clearly smiling happily.
"You brat, what are you thinking about?"
Ruan Hengzhi rolled his eyes at his silly son, seeing how anxious he looked.
"What I mean is, after your mother, your grandparents, and I visit Rongrong's family to propose marriage, we'll get the marriage certificate."
This is better for Rongrong's reputation and makes it more legitimate.
"Dad, you're in charge."
Ruan Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief and immediately told his parents-in-law when they would be home.
"Then let's head to Y City in two days. We can use these two days to buy some things."
Ruan Hengzhi thought for a moment, then turned to look at his daughter who was teasing Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
“Ruan girl, you have lots of good stuff. Can Dad cut in line and buy some ginseng or something from you?”
Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and Ruan Hengzhi would not be stingy in such a matter.
It's best to have everything prepared, such as ginseng, deer antler, and tea.
Fortunately, my daughter has connections with the Gujin Auction House, which saves him from going down the wrong path.
"Dad, what's wrong with that? Of course, my second brother's marriage is the most important thing."
Ruan Qiushui readily agreed.
"Okay, Dad will make a list for you later, take a look."
He'll have to think about it carefully later, so he doesn't miss anything.
"no problem."
From childhood to adulthood, she had the deepest bond with her second brother.
When she was little, her second brother often used his pocket money to buy her candy and hair accessories.
Now that her second brother is getting married, it's her turn to lend a hand.
As for her dad buying it with money, let's just forget about that.
She had plenty of the things her father mentioned in her personal space, and they didn't cost her a single penny.
At most, I'll sacrifice a little sleep to sow seeds and reap a harvest.
The next morning, Ruan Qiushui, having received Ruan Hengzhi's list, drove out the door.
This Shanghai-brand sedan was purchased by Ruan Qiushui not long after he established Renshan Pharmaceutical Factory.
According to Zhou Yi, his sister Qiu is a big boss, after all. If she always rode a bicycle, people would think their factory wasn't doing well.
So they specially prepared a car for Ruan Qiushui, so that no one would look down on their Sister Qiu.
Ruan Qiushui first went to the Gujin Auction House for a stroll, and then came to a three-story courtyard house under her name.
This small courtyard was her grandfather's inheritance, and Ruan Qiushui hasn't been here since it was transferred to her name.
I came here today for two reasons: first, to find a quiet, safe place to enter the space; and second, to look for traces of my grandfather's past existence.
In a box containing my grandfather's inheritance, besides the property and savings, there was also a letter.
Although the letter contained extensive instructions and expectations for the younger generation, it subtly mentioned the house.
Based on Ruan Qiushui's keen intuition, this house must hold a secret.
Ruan Qiushui had arranged for someone to take care of the courtyard before, so it was quite clean.
Ruan Qiushui first took a quick look around the room, and then randomly chose a bedroom to go into.
After checking that no one was paying attention to the neighbors on either side, I quickly drew the curtains and went into the space.
