"So you're Shiping? As expected of my grandson, Shen Yongjun. You're a fine young man."
Shen Yongjun looked at the energetic and vibrant young man in front of him with great admiration.
"This is?"
Liu Sanmei looked at Wang Xinyue standing to the side.
"Grandpa and Grandma, this is Wang Xinyue, my future daughter-in-law."
straightforward.
Having finally found a wife, Ruan Shiping was not going to hide her away.
What's wrong with being affectionate in front of family? It's just showing off.
“My grandson has good taste. This girl is obviously a good match. They’re a perfect match.”
Shen Yongjun repeatedly praised him.
As for whether he's picky about his granddaughter-in-law's family background, appearance, and character? He's not just being picky.
Having lived to such an old age, he has come to understand two things.
The first thing is to accept getting old.
The second thing is to mind your own business.
They can't even manage their own son's marriage, how can they possibly manage their grandson's?
Don't they realize how big their own ego is? Do they think the children are happy about this?
"Oh my, this girl is really pretty."
Upon hearing this, Liu Sanmei quickly stepped forward to show her affection for Wang Xinyue.
"This first meeting was really rushed; Grandma wasn't prepared at all."
Liu Sanmei felt a little embarrassed, afraid that her granddaughter-in-law would feel she had been neglected.
Today I was going to meet up with an old friend with my husband, and I didn't bring my wallet with me. It's really embarrassing to leave my granddaughter-in-law empty-handed.
"Old man, you chat with your grandson and granddaughter-in-law for a bit, I'm going back to my room for a bit."
After Liu Sanmei finished speaking, she walked into her room.
These days, with relaxed policies, gold and silver jewelry is gradually becoming popular again.
She remembered that she had brought a few pieces of jewelry with her, intending to give them to Ruan Yatou.
Now that we need to give our granddaughter-in-law a gift, we'll have to find something better for Ruan later.
"That old woman."
Always in a rush.
"That's just how your grandma is, don't take it personally."
Shen Yongjun was worried that his grandson and granddaughter-in-law would have a bad impression of his daughter-in-law.
"Grandpa, I think Grandma is a very sentimental person. That's a good thing."
Before meeting his grandparents, Ruan Shiping was genuinely worried that they were old-fashioned people with feudalistic ideas.
Now that we've met, we chatted for a bit, and I found her quite adorable.
"Come on, let's sit inside. It's cold outside, don't let Xinyue get too cold."
Shen Yongjun quickly ushered the two into the house.
"Father, where is Mother?"
Ruan Hengzhi heard the old couple return from the kitchen. Why was his father the only one in the house?
"Hengzhi, your mother is here."
Liu Sanmei hurriedly carried a small wooden box into the house.
"My goodness, you'd better watch out!"
I almost tripped and fell while stepping on the threshold. At my age, why are you in such a hurry?
"Old woman, what are you taking with you?"
Shen Yongjun stepped forward and helped his wife sit down, looking at the wooden box in her hand as if it were a treasure, with some curiosity.
"You old man, you're really meddling in other people's business."
"Come, come, Xinyue, come and see if you like the gift I gave you."
“This old woman doesn’t know what young people like these days. If you’re not satisfied, Grandma will get you some other styles later.”
Liu Sanmei smiled kindly at Wang Xinyue and beckoned her over.
"this."
Wang Xinyue glanced at Ruan Shiping, somewhat hesitant.
Just by looking at the wooden box made of rosewood, you can tell that the contents inside are quite valuable.
Although Ruan Shiping acknowledged her identity, she was still not a member of the Ruan family. Was it really appropriate for her to accept such an expensive gift?
"Go ahead, this is Grandma's thoughtful gift."
I dare not refuse the gift from the elder.
Ruan Shiping encouraged Wang Xinyue to go there.
"Sister-in-law, please don't be shy. My grandma just likes you."
Seeing that Wang Xinyue was embarrassed, Ruan Qiushui quickly helped her up.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Since both siblings had said so, Wang Xinyue didn't hesitate to step forward and bow to express her gratitude.
"Silly child, why are you being so polite?"
Liu Sanmei placed the wooden box directly into Wang Xinyue's hands and patted her hand affectionately.
“We’ve watched Xinyue grow up since she was little. Her grandfather, Wang Hongmin, and her parents were your neighbors.”
Ruan Hengzhi was very happy to see that the two elders were satisfied with their granddaughter-in-law.
Grandpa Wang has always lived in the compound, and now that his parents have moved in, they must be seeing each other frequently.
"Oh, so Xinyue's grandfather is Wang Hongmin."
Shen Yongjun glanced at Wang Xinyue, who did bear a resemblance to Wang Hongmin, that terrible chess player.
"Dad, Mom, dinner's ready."
He Ruyi stood at the kitchen door and shouted loudly.
Old Ruan is so unreliable. I asked him to call people for dinner, but he never showed up again.
"Why."
Shen Yongjun and Liu Sanmei responded.
"Sister-in-law, let's go help."
Gu Changshu and Gu Xiaoxiao put the children in the stroller and hurried to the kitchen to help.
The Ruan family treated the two siblings very well, and they were willing to do whatever they could to help.
Once the food was served, Ruan Qiushui pushed the children's dining chairs to the table.
The family enjoyed a meal together in harmony.
After the meal, Wang Xinyue got up to say goodbye, and Ruan Shiping followed closely to see her off. He Ruyi hurriedly ran back into the house and chased after her.
"Xinyue, Auntie didn't have time to go shopping, so this is a little gift for you. Please don't think it's too little."
He Ruyi took out a thick red envelope and handed it to Wang Xinyue.
"Xin Yue, when do you see when your parents are free? We will definitely bring generous gifts to visit them."
The eldest son is a real problem; we need to set a date for him as soon as possible.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll ask my parents what they think when I get back."
Her parents had already said that she could decide her own marriage.
They will definitely agree once they know that the Ruan family is the ones to be married.
"Okay, okay."
He Ruyi was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.
"Boss, spend this afternoon taking Xinyue shopping and watching a movie. You won't need to come back for dinner tonight."
Spending more time together can enhance a relationship.
"But you have to get Xinyue home safely before dark, understand?"
There are some things you shouldn't do before marriage; it's also a matter of respecting the girl.
"Things haven't been very peaceful in the city lately, so be careful."
During this period, in addition to the educated youth returning to their hometowns, Beijing saw many unfamiliar faces.
When there are many people, accidents are more likely to happen. It's always better to be careful than not to make a big mistake.
"Don't worry, Mother, I will make sure Xinyue gets home safely."
Ruan Shiping understood his mother's meaning and nodded solemnly.
He is sensible and would never do anything he shouldn't do before marriage.
"Auntie, we'll be going now."
Wang Xinyue was deeply moved.
The future mother-in-law not only cared about her, but also created opportunities for them to spend time together, and had Ruan Shiping take her home.
A mother-in-law like that would make things very easy to get along with after marriage.
"Take care, Xinyue. Come visit us more often when you have time."
He Ruyi waved to Wang Xinyue and watched the young couple walk away.
