"I know, Manman. I know what's going on."
Now that everything was said and Xu Manman had no objection, Chen Ming felt relieved.
When I returned home on Saturday afternoon, I brought home a sack of spare parts and went into the house and didn't come out.
While Chen Ming was busy making money, Zheng Xiaohui also went to Zhang's house with Chen Ming's task.
Zhang's parents were actually a little skeptical about Chen Ming's decision to study abroad, but since their daughter was willing, they could only force a smile and express their support for Chen Ming.
But now when they heard Zheng Xiaohui say that Chen Ming wanted to get engaged, they felt relieved for their daughter. Chen Ming also showed his attitude, which was at least a guarantee for their daughter.
Zhang's mother looked at her husband and said, "After all, this is a lifelong event. We have to ask Wenjun about her and Xiaoming. No matter what decision she makes, her father and I will support her." Although she said so, Zhang's mother believed that her daughter would most likely agree.
Zheng Xiaohui nodded. "It should be. After all, this is a major event in the child's life. Back then, our Xiaoming and Xiaoli were the children who made their own decisions. They are living so well now."
Mother Zhang held Zheng Xiaohui's hand and said, "Your family has two boys, but our family has two daughters. If they go out, we worry that they will be bullied. If we don't let them go out, we worry that they will be depressed and have trouble adapting to society in the future.
Take our eldest daughter, for example. During those two years she was sent to the countryside, her father and I were so worried that we couldn’t sleep all night long.”
Zheng Xiaohui knew that their family loved their daughter, and patted Zhang's mother's hand, "I have seen Chen Ming's child with my own eyes. Even before we met, I often heard our Xiao Ming mention him in letters. He is a good child. Not only does he take care of his sister, but he also lends a hand without hesitation when people around him have problems. He is a kind and loyal person.
We, the elders, have been watching them over the past two years in Beijing. The children are very good at dealing with people and have calm personalities, otherwise I would not have matched them up in the first place.
So, Erhua, I can honestly guarantee that even if this child goes abroad, he will never do anything like Chen Shimei. You and Guoqiang can rest assured."
Chen Ming didn't know that his aunt Zheng was using her conscience to vouch for him. He tightened the last screw of the radio, put it in the box, washed his hands, changed his clothes, and came out to tell Xu Manman,
"When Zichu comes over later, tell him that the two new machines I installed are in the room and let him get them himself. I'm going to see your sister Zichu and may not come for dinner. Don't wait for me to eat. Lock the door and don't open it unless I tell Zichu to."
Xu Manman was originally sitting in a rocking chair under the grape trellis reading a book. Upon hearing this, she put the book down, stood up and followed Chen Ming to the door. After everyone left, she locked the gate and returned to the yard to resume her original position.
Chen Ming rode his bicycle to the dim sum shop to buy freshly baked meat patties. When he arrived at the old place, he saw Zhang Wenjun standing under the tree waiting for him.
"Wenjun." Chen Ming stepped on the accelerator twice, then stopped in front of Zhang Wenjun. "Have you been waiting for a long time? When I came over just now, Wu Ji's sesame cakes were just out of the oven. Come and eat them while they're hot."
Chen Ming took out the oil-paper bag containing the sesame cake from the net bag hanging on the handlebars.
Zhang Wenjun held the still slightly warm oil paper bag, and her heart was also warm. "It wasn't long, I just got here too. Are you hungry? Let's eat together?"
"You eat. I ate a lot at noon and I'm not hungry now."
Zhang Wenjun then opened the oil-paper package and took a bite. "It tastes really good, and the skin is still crispy."
"Really? Manman always buys one every time he passes by. He says this place has the best crust and a generous amount of meat filling. I also like it, so I thought I'd let you try it too."
When young people first fall in love, they want to share everything good they encounter with each other.
Zhang Wenjun looked up at Chen Ming and handed the pancake to him, "You have some too."
Chen Ming looked at the sesame seed bun, which had a crescent-shaped gap compared to when he bought it. His ears turned red, but he still didn't say anything to refuse. He opened his mouth and took a bite, "It's really delicious."
Zhang Wenjun's face turned red as he looked at the sesame seed bun he brought back with a bigger hole in it.
The two of them shared a pancake and finished it quickly.
Arriving at the park and sitting on a bench, Chen Ming looked at Zhang Wenjun and said, "Wenjun, I have something to say to you."
Zhang Wenjun withdrew his gaze from the scenery and looked at Chen Ming, "Well, what's wrong?"
