Xu Manman could tell from his tone as soon as he entered the door that Chen Ming was indeed in a good mood today.
"Cousin, did you meet Sister Wenjun this afternoon?"
"Yes, I told Wenjun about the engagement." Boys in their twenties are at the age where they can't keep secrets.
"You're so happy, did Sister Wenjun agree?"
Chen Ming sat on the recliner, put his hands behind his head, looked at the grape leaves above, his eyes were particularly gentle, "Well, she said she would."
Xu Manman clapped her hands and said, "Great! Should we prepare for the wedding?"
Chen Ming looked at his cousin with amusement, "Aunt Zheng should have gone to see Uncle and Auntie today. I wonder if Wenjun's parents will agree?"
Xu Manman calmed down for a moment. Nowadays, many people still follow the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. If the parents do not agree, it will be useless for two young people to just rely on their wishful thinking.
She sat down in another rocking chair, hunched over, and supported her head with her right hand on the armrest. "I don't know what's going on with Aunt Zheng, and when she can notify us." She seemed extremely worried.
Chen Ming reached out and patted her head, "Stop frowning."
Xu Manman looked at Chen Ming who was lying leisurely, "Cousin, aren't you nervous?"
"I'm nervous, but it's better to just let things take their own course." He further confirmed Zhang Wenjun's feelings today. Even if they couldn't get engaged in advance, their friendship wouldn't change.
After a short rest, Chen Ming got up and went back to his room. Now he had an extra worry in his heart: earning more money was the bottom line.
It didn't take long for Chen Ming to receive good news from Aunt Zheng the next day.
"Xiao Ming, Wenjun's parents have agreed to the engagement. Please take a look at the rules. We will have to discuss it with both families when the time comes."
"Thank you, Aunt Zheng. You're so sorry for your trouble. I'll tell my parents, and they should come over when the time comes. However, I'm not very familiar with the customs in Beijing. Is there anything I should pay attention to in terms of the process?"
Zheng Xiaohui had just done this for her eldest son, so she naturally understood this. She explained it in detail to Chen Ming over the phone, and Chen Ming took a pen and paper and took careful notes.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ming continued dialing.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Mom, it's me."
"Son? You called today, and it was Wenjun. Did she reply again?"
"Well, I asked Aunt Zheng to ask for me, and my uncle and aunt agreed. I plan to follow the customs in Beijing for the engagement, but I may have to trouble you and Dad to help with the arrangements."
"Of course. So, give me the contact information of Wenjun's parents. I'll discuss the date and schedule with them. Once we're finalized, you can prepare anything you need in advance. Your father and I will bring it over when the time comes."
"Thank you, Mom."
"You are my son, and the one who comes into the house is my daughter-in-law. Why are you still saying thank you to me? Okay, let's do this for now. I'll go tell your father and your aunt."
After returning home, Xu Manman heard the good news from Chen Ming and was very happy for him.
"Then I would like to congratulate my cousin and Sister Wenjun in advance."
In the following period, Chen Ming became even busier. After submitting the application form, the importance of studying was self-evident.
And having come this far, for him, whether it is getting an English degree in advance or taking the language test, only success is allowed and failure is not allowed.
He rearranged his time and studied wholeheartedly during the day. When he got home at night, it was his time to work and save money. Even so, he still squeezed out time to date Zhang Wenjun on weekends.
Ye Rong acted quickly. After getting the contact information, she immediately contacted the Zhang family. Both parties were very cooperative and the date was set on October 1st, National Day, which was double happiness.
Ye Rong also followed her son's wishes and put the Zhang family first when discussing the process. The Zhang family also cooperated fully and did not make things difficult. Soon everything was agreed upon.
So these days, when Chen Ming and Zhang Wenjun go out, they are mostly buying things for the engagement. Sometimes when Chen Ming is busy and has no time, Xu Manman will take over. After all, compared to Chen Ming, she is really very free.
Time passed quickly during those busy days. In the blink of an eye, Xu Jianguo returned from military training.
Xu Manman and her friends also received the news that not only their uncle and aunt would come, but Xu Manman's parents would also come, and her third aunt and eldest aunt would take leave to come, representing the first and third rooms respectively.
