Sheng An Ning originally planned to wait until Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan's affairs were settled before leaving. She was the eldest sister-in-law in the family, and now that Zhong Wenqing was gone, it was her turn to take care of things. Although there were many things she didn't understand, Zhou Hongyun was there.
Now that Zhou Luancheng had sorted out a lot of things, she was responsible for cleaning up the room and buying new bedding.
The next day, Zhou Nanguang took Zhou Shuanglu back.
As soon as the old man saw Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan, he took out a passbook and handed it to Mu Xiaowan: "Child, take this money. Grandpa doesn't have anything prepared, so I'll give you the money. Buy whatever you want."
Mu Xiaowan was startled and quickly pushed him away: "Grandpa, I have money, I can't accept this money."
The old man waved his hand and said, "Here you go, take it. Listen to me. Why do I give this money to you instead of Luancheng? Because I want you to use this money to support yourself. If Luancheng treats you badly in the future, you will have a way out."
Zhou Luancheng looked at the old man in disbelief: "Grandpa, I haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already preparing a way out for Xiao Wan. What do you mean by this?"
The old man snorted coldly: "When you are so busy, do you still have your family in mind? If Xiao Wan complains one day, it will be easier for her to live with the money."
Zhou Luancheng was helpless and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then Xiaowan, just keep it. We'll go to the grave first, and then we'll go shopping after we come back for lunch at noon."
As soon as they left, Zhou Hongyun began to prepare lunch: "Today's lunch, we have to make some decent meals, even if it's for Luancheng and Xiaowan."
Next comes engagement and marriage, neither of which can be missed.
Sheng Anning was discussing with Zhou Nanguang how to clean up the house: "The walls inside need to be painted, and I think the floor should also be done. Many of the square bricks from before are broken. How about making it a marble floor?"
Zhou Nanguang had no objection: "It's all fine, just do it as you see fit. If you don't have enough money, I'll go borrow some."
Sheng An Ning quickly shook her head: "No, no, I have enough money, Dad, I saved all your salary."
Zhou Nanguang was surprised: "The money is given to you to spend, why are you saving it? The three children will have many needs for money in the future, don't be reluctant to spend it."
Zhou Shuanglu walked over with his hands behind his back, listened to the conversation between the two, and said, "An Ning, are you unhappy that I gave all the money to Xiao Wan just now?"
Sheng An Ning quickly explained: "Grandpa, how could I be unhappy? And you can give your money to whoever you want, without having to consider other people's ideas. I have no right to be unhappy. Also, I am very happy that each of us thinks from the perspective of others when we think about problems, which makes our family more united."
Zhou Shuanglu nodded: "Xiao Wan has no family, she is a poor girl. We can't look down on her just because she has a miserable life and no family. Instead, we should pay more attention to her. I will give her the salary I have saved over the years. As for you, everything I have will be left to you, mainly for our three children."
"Raising three children is stressful for you, and you'll need more money when they grow up, so I left something for you, and Chaoyang, too. I'm not partial as a grandfather."
Sheng An Ning was very touched: "Grandpa, I never thought you would be partial, and we can work hard."
Zhou Shuanglu smiled lovingly: "You are all good children. Grandpa is willing to give Chaoyang. After you go to the base, take good care of Chaoyang. This child keeps everything in his heart. He is a good child."
…
Sheng Anning decided to replace the floor tiles of the house and started looking for someone to do it.
She didn't know the person, but Wang Da did. Wang Da's recent bun stall had become a bun shop, and he had hired two workers to make buns.
So I got to know a lot of people.
As soon as I told Wang Da about it, Wang Da immediately took the responsibility: "Just go back and wait. I'll have someone come to your house. I'll help you bargain for the wages and make sure I don't rip you off."
He kept sighing, "Oh, this is a great event, a good thing. If you need help later, just ask."
Sheng An Ning shook her head: "No, your business is so busy here, I can't bother you again."
Wang Da was not happy: "An Ning, no matter how busy I am here, it is not as important as Luan Cheng and his family's wedding. It's okay for me to close here for a day. If you are polite to me, it means you don't treat your aunt as your own."
Sheng An Ning could only nod and agree. Before leaving, Wang Da packed a bag of buns for her: "Today's tofu vermicelli and braised pork buns are both delicious. Take them back and try them. Come back when you want to eat buns. Although my aunt has no other skills, she can still provide you with enough buns."
Sheng Anning went back with a bag of buns. Zhou Hongyun and her aunt had also prepared lunch, with chicken, duck, fish and meat filling the table.
Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan just happened to walk in.
Looking at Mu Xiaowan's red and swollen eyes, she must have just cried. Sheng An Ning didn't dare to ask, and just shouted at them to wash their hands and eat.
Mu Xiaowan couldn't hold it back, and said to Sheng Anning while washing her hands: "Luan Cheng said a lot of things in front of my parents' graves that made me cry. I always thought I had a heart of cement and a heart of stone. I didn't expect that I'm not. I still feel so uncomfortable."
"I haven't thought about my parents for a long time, because I feel sad when I think about them. In order not to make myself sad, I don't think about them. In fact, my parents are very good people. They have a good relationship and treat me very well. Sometimes I dream about the songs my mother sang to me to sleep."
After saying this, tears were about to fall again, so she quickly wiped them away with her hands: "Zhou Luancheng has made me cry several times."
Sheng An Ning smiled and handed her the towel: "He also wants to reassure your parents. From now on, you can happily wait to be the bride. We will all be a family in the future, and you will have a lot more family members all of a sudden, so your parents will naturally feel relieved."
Mu Xiaowan sniffed: "An Ning, thank you."
Sheng Anning was very dissatisfied: "You have to learn to call me sister-in-law, and stop calling me by my name."
Mu Xiaowan chuckled: "Aren't you afraid of being called old?"
During lunch, Zhou Shuanglu said a lot more, the gist of which was that they were all family from now on, and Xiaowan should treat this place as her own home and not feel restrained. If Zhou Luancheng bullied her, the family would support her.
He also said: "We are not only your in-laws' family, but also your natal family. We will always favor you here."
This made Mu Xiaowan's eyes tear up again. This day she shed all the tears of the past ten years.
The engagement date is set for this Saturday, although the time is a bit tight because Sheng An Ning still has to take the children to the base.
When the time comes, invite some relatives over, sit down to have a meal, and discuss the wedding date.
The wedding date is tentatively set for October, when the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, so there will be more time...
