After Zhu Zi and the others finished their family reunion, Jian Jun and Ting Ting also visited Grandpa Hao to discuss Cheng Cai's marriage.
"Grandpa, we'd like to discuss Chengcai's marriage with you and see when we can finalize it."
“Jianjun, we’ve considered what you’re thinking about. Let’s go to Lao Lin’s place the day after tomorrow to finalize it.”
“Alright, that puts our minds at ease. Let Brother Yanbei and Sister-in-law Xinru go and propose marriage.”
“Tingting, Jianjun, you are both very understanding. With such vision, Chengcai and Youcai are blessed to have you.”
"Grandpa, you're really making us blush with praise. Chengcai and Youcai are truly blessed to have such parents and grandfather."
“We can only guide them on their current path, but that’s all we can do. There’s nothing more we can do to help them.”
"Don't worry about that. We've always thought highly of this child, and Yanbei genuinely thinks he's a good kid."
Once Tingting saw that the matter was settled, she felt relieved, which was a good thing for everyone.
Tingting and Jianjun also went to prepare things; they prepared one set of things for noodles, and quite a lot of other things as well.
Cheng Cai knew that his aunt and uncle were well-off, but he also knew the gap between himself and Zhi Yu. He wasn't thinking about whether he would lose face, but rather whether Uncle Jianjun and Aunt Tingting would be put in a difficult position.
After all, no matter how many good things we have, there's still a gap compared to others.
When he heard that it wasn't his aunt and uncle who came to discuss his marriage, he felt very sad. His aunt and uncle had raised him and Youcai for so many years, and they didn't even have the right to arrange his engagement.
It's impossible for Cheng Cai not to feel uncomfortable. He knows in his heart that this is for his own good, but it is this "good intention" that makes Cheng Cai feel even more depressed.
Thinking of what Aunt Tingting and Uncle Jianjun had said to him last time, Cheng Cai put away his sadness and acted as usual.
But I also told myself that I should repay my aunt and uncle well in the future. This is the debt of gratitude they owe me. Without them, I would not be where I am today.
Without their vision and magnanimity, I wouldn't have been able to seize this opportunity.
The three old men were playing chess, while Grandpa Su watched them while drinking tea.
"Old Lin, you should strike first."
"Old man, you're not bad either, you're good at countering every move, haha."
"Alright, you two old folks, let's not talk about anything else."
"Old Su, you're still the same as before, so boring."
"Are you two playing chess, or are you talking about people?"
"Chess is like life. Every move you make has its own strategy. What's the difference?"
"I heard that Jianjun and his wife went to see you, Lao Hao?"
"Yes, it's also because of Cheng Cai's marriage. I have to say, I knew they were not simple before, but their vision is also admirable."
"Hmm, not bad. I'm very curious to see how far this couple can go."
"There's no mistake. They're not just planning for the present, but for the future. I think they were already thinking about the future when they were still in the village."
"Yes, that's right. Every step he took was worthwhile. He's a real talent."
Tingting and Jianjun weren't here, otherwise they would have been surprised that they guessed so accurately.
Jianjun and Tingting had indeed started planning long ago, for the present and the future.
