No.
Zhong Yuan couldn't believe that he had passed the test of his father and mother so easily.
After all, it seems that there is no buffer period for the change of parents. They were strongly opposed before, but suddenly agreed one day. This speed is faster than the rocket they are researching.
Sheng An Ning pointed at An An who was holding Mo Mo and giggling, "I think it must be An An's contribution. The little girl is sweet and can coax people. Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong like An An so much and often bring An An home to play. After a long time, her thinking has changed."
"Then I realized that their stubbornness might make you lonely for life, but if they agreed to let you and Song Xiuyan be together, maybe you would have a cute child like An An to take care of you."
"Compared to you living a lonely and sad life, they are willing to take another gamble. If you lose, they will accompany you to raise the children. If you win, it is naturally the best outcome."
Her words made Zhong Yuan almost cry. The corners of his eyes were red. After calming down, he said, "Now that you mention it, I feel like I am really unfilial. Before, when they disagreed, I insisted on going against them. You don't know, I have already thought about it. If my parents don't agree, I will go to the leader to get a marriage report and let the leader come forward to talk to my parents."
"My parents are so proud. If my leader were to talk to them about this, they would definitely agree."
Sheng Anning smiled and held her hand: "Thank goodness I didn't go, otherwise Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong would definitely be even angrier. Even if you were married, it would take them a long time to calm down. It's so good now, they've let it go on their own."
Zhong Yuan was in a better mood and couldn't help jumping up and down on the way back.
When I got near my home, I saw Qian Min wearing a cotton coat and a scarf, standing at the door of the unit looking over here.
Zhong Yuan ran over happily, hugged Qian Min and said coquettishly: "Mom, thank you."
Qian Min snorted coldly: "You don't have to thank me. You and Song Xiuyan go in and out together every day. If you don't quickly settle the marriage, I'm afraid people will laugh at you. Do you still have any shame as a grown woman?"
Zhong Yuan held Qian Min's arm and leaned his head on her shoulder: "Mom, I know you and Dad will love me. Don't worry, I will manage my life well and will not follow my sister's path. Even if I lose the bet, I will come out strong."
Qian Min held her daughter's hand and was silent for a while: "It's okay, no matter what happens, you still have mom and dad. Don't keep it in your heart when you encounter something. Mom and dad will always be your strongest support."
…
Unintentionally, Zhong Yuan and Song Xiuyan's relationship had an opportunity. From their parents' firm opposition to the active preparations for the wedding, it really seemed like a dream.
Sheng An Ning was still very happy. It would be great if her friend's marriage could have fewer twists and turns and she could get married smoothly.
Zhou Chaoyang was also very happy when he found out: "Song Xiaosan has found a treasure this time. Zhong Yuan is so good. If I were a man, I would marry a girl like Zhong Yuan."
Zhou Hongyun laughed and scolded him: "You are a girl, what nonsense are you talking about every day. Chaoyang, your cotton-padded jacket is old, and I see the cotton is showing through the cuffs. Ask your sister-in-law to find you a piece of clothing, and I will mend it for you when you change it."
Zhou Chaoyang looked down at his sleeves and touched them nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'll mend it myself when I get home."
Sheng Anning took a look and said nothing. She knew that the cotton coat Chaoyang was wearing was the one she wore when she and Lu Changfeng got married, so she had been wearing it all the time and was reluctant to throw it away even though it was old and torn.
Zhou Chaoyang was afraid that Zhou Hongyun would nag, so he quickly changed the subject: "I really want to eat our Jing City's copper pot hot pot meat, which is simply not available here. There is really nothing good to eat in winter. The cafeteria stews potatoes every day, and I'm really tired of it."
Not only did I get used to the climate here, I also unconsciously learned the local dialect and called potatoes "yangyu".
Sheng An Ning had never expected that cabbage was a rare commodity here in the winter. The most eaten food was potatoes, followed by radishes, and finally cabbage.
In order to improve the children's meals, Zhou Hongyun grew bean sprouts and garlic at home, and also planted some spinach in pots. Every few days, she would pick a spinach head and put it in the noodles she cooked for the children. The green color made the food look more appetizing.
Mutton is easy to buy, and the mutton here tastes better than the mutton in Beijing, without the fishy smell.
Zhou Hongyun saw Zhou Chaoyang drooling as he spoke, and couldn't help but smile and said, "We don't have a copper pot, so we can use a stove. I'll cook for you on Sunday when you guys are resting. Then buy some mutton, tofu, and soak some black fungus and kelp. I saw frozen tofu on sale in the market, and we can all cook it."
"The sesame paste at the service center looks good, I'll mix it for you when I get back. The only thing missing is the chive flower paste."
As she spoke, Zhou Chaoyang felt like his mouth was about to drool: "Oh, no more words, my mouth is about to drool. Aunt, it's settled, I'll buy mutton then. Oh, and I'll also buy a side of lamb offal, and then we'll cook a pot of lamb offal, but it's a pity there's no coriander..."
Zhou Hongyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Can we eat all this?"
Zhou Chaoyang didn't care: "What's the big deal? We can ask Zhong Yuan and Song Xiuyan to come and eat together. Prepare more. Hot pot needs more people to eat. If that doesn't work, just buy some lamb ribs. Oh, no, no, I can't say anymore."
Zhou Hongyun laughed: "You, look at you, such a greedy cat. The old saying is true, nieces take after their aunts, and An An takes after you, her aunt."
Zhou Chaoyang hugged An An and kissed her: "Of course, this is my dearest and most beloved niece."
…
On Sunday, Sheng Anning and Zhou Shixun both had a day off. Zhou Hongyun got up early in the morning, prepared breakfast, and went to the market to buy meat and vegetables to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot at noon.
Zhou Shixun washed the children's faces and asked Sheng Anning to watch the children eat while he went to wash clothes.
It was cold and the water pipes would freeze from time to time, so using water was not very convenient. Sheng Anning would save the clothes for two or three days and then wash them. If the children's clothes were not too dirty, she would just wear them for two more days.
Anyway, it is becoming more and more down-to-earth, even children know to save water.
An An was having breakfast and was also chatty, saying non-stop: "Mom, let's go play after breakfast? Let's go to the slide."
Sheng An Ning shook her head: "No, it's windy outside today and it looks like it's going to snow, so we can't go out to play."
An An said, "Let's have a snowball fight..."
Before Sheng An Ning could respond, a loud bang was heard from the left, scaring the three children so much that they almost dropped the buns in their hands...
