"It's settled?" Miao Lishan breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, I'm getting married! It's been delayed for so long. If I don't get married now, I'll have to find a second marriage."
Zhou Jiao burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and prepare the gifts. Your second sister-in-law has sent a lot of things to our family over the years. Remember to inform me in advance if you want to add some gifts this time."
"good."
"I wonder if they've been allocated a wedding house? The second son and his wife aren't here, so you uncles and aunts should take care of the necessary preparations for them first."
"good."
"No, you should call Mai Sui first. Who knows if Xiao Wu guessed it right? If this doesn't work, I can introduce her to someone."
Zhang Guoqing asked curiously, "Mom, do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Not yet, but your Aunt Chen and the others seem to really enjoy being matchmakers. When she met your aunt and me today, she kept asking me if our Wuyi family had a partner, saying she had a lot of good candidates on her plate."
He just said that his mother-in-law didn't know any young talents, so where could she find someone suitable for Mai Sui?
"Isn't it funny? I told you we'll be abroad on May 1st, and even if she has a candidate, we won't be able to meet for a while. Guess what she said?"
Zhang Guoqing cooperated and asked, "What do you mean?"
"She said there are some people studying abroad too, so we should introduce them to each other first. Firstly, they can take care of each other while they are abroad, and secondly, if they say it's not good, it will work out."
Miao Lishan shook her head and said, "That reason is unreliable. Where would we have the time for May Day? I postponed it."
Zhou Jiao touched her neck thoughtfully. "It's not that simple. It's easy to get close to May Day abroad. There are many gatherings of compatriots every year."
Zhang Guoqing smiled at them comfortingly, "It's okay, we can handle this little thing on May Day. But Dazhi's uncle's youngest sister is also going abroad, so we need to take care of her."
Miao Lishan blurted out in surprise, "No way? There's a generation gap."
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Zhang Guoqing explained with a smile, "That girl is still Wuyi's junior schoolmate. She was interesting before he went abroad."
Miao Lishan blinked her eyes. There were too many things to do tonight, so she had to drink some tea to calm herself down. But why did she always feel weird in her heart?
"How does Aunt Chen address Old Madam Geng?"
"Third Aunt," Zhang Guoqing said, looking at Zhou Jiao in surprise. "Do you think it's possible? That Mom guessed it right? That doesn't seem likely. If the Geng family was interested, Dazhi wouldn't have mentioned it to me. Did his wife let you know?"
Zhou Jiao frowned, recalled the incident, and shook her head decisively.
Zhang Guoqing breathed a sigh of relief.
He doesn't want his three daughters-in-law to all be in the same circle. Not to mention the chaos that will happen if the younger generations have conflicts in the future, how can he change the way they address each other?
"I don't have any other special abilities, but I've always had a pretty good premonition, and Jiaojiao has inherited that from me. I was wondering why your Aunt Chen was acting so strangely today!"
Miao Lishan became more and more confident as she spoke. She clapped her hands and said, "Think about it again. What does that girl call you every time she sees you? Anyway, every time she sees me in the compound, she calls me grandma."
Zhou Jiao quickly looked at Zhang Guoqing.
Zhang Guoqing immediately shook his head, “Uncle Geng has always lived outside, and the few times I’ve seen the little girl, he never slapped her.”
Zhou Jiao glanced at him with resentment, "If Mom really guesses right, we'll be in big trouble. The little girl keeps calling me Aunt Jiao with Xiao Bei and the others."
"What are you afraid of? Let's just play dumb."
"Yes, these are all random guesses, they don't count." Zhou Jiao nodded decisively, "Xiaojiu is suitable for my youngest son."
Zhang Guoqing wordlessly tugged at her hair! Whatever tricks he wanted to play, he had to see if he would fall for them.
"I'm not marrying you off! I don't care! As long as my grandson likes her, he can have whoever he wants."
"Where's my foreign wife?"
"As long as he likes it."
Zhang Guoqing quickly gave a thumbs-up. "My mom is still democratic! Look, you can't even compare to her. Remember, our son is the real one!"
"Ignore her, she's such a fool!" Miao Lishan snorted. "If I told you not to marry Xiaowu, would you agree? Don't do to others what you don't want done to you."
Zhou Jiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, am I that kind of person? I didn't force my son to choose Xiaojiu. I just think that kid is good in every way."
"Then don't mention Xiaojiu all the time on the phone. I always hear you ask, 'Son, is Xiaojiu by your side?'"
"Yes, that's what I meant, Xiaowu."
Zhou Jiao glared at Zhang Guoqing: What a mischief! He's seriously wronged her. Looks like he wants to kneel on a durian!
Was she so foolish as to mention Xiaojiu every time she spoke to her son? Since she knew her son wasn't taking Xiaojiu with him on his travels, would she, as a mother, still try to sway her filial son's heart?
Zhang Guoqing touched his nose guiltily, "I'll go see if Aunt Chen has finished preparing the midnight snack. Mom, you two can chat slowly."
well……
It’s so hard to be a good father!
After taking a shower, Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao, who was twisted into a ball on the bed, in surprise. "Girl, what are you doing?"
"Hoohoo...yoga."
Zhang Guoqing looked at her doubtfully, "You have a great figure."
"Don't bother me, I'm in menopause and need some quiet time!"
"Shouldn't we be meditating on scriptures when we're meditating?" Zhang Guoqing suppressed a smile. "Practicing calligraphy is fine, too. What if we sprain our waist?"
Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes and exhaled slowly.
"Baby, come on, tell me what's wrong with you. Are you upset again? Do you think I'm saying something bad about you? Or what did those women say to you this afternoon?"
Zhou Jiao bent her long legs and hung them above her head, mumbling, "I'm too tired to complain."
"That's a big problem. How about your man dance for you?"
It's the middle of the night, crazy!
"Don't roll your eyes all the time. What if you get cross-eyed?" Zhang Guoqing clapped his hands. "Come, let your husband sing Sweet Honey for you."
Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing and fell onto the bed. "Brother, why don't you think highly of Xiaojiu?"
Zhang Guoqing sighed secretly, knowing that she was entangled in this issue! He asked, "Then tell me, why do you think she is so good?"
Zhou Jiao leaned back with her hands behind her head and analyzed each point one by one.
"First, the little girl is thoughtful; second, she will focus on him after she likes Wuyi; third, the three girls get along well with each other, which is good for family harmony;
Fourth, she has no burden from her parents; fifth, she has endured hardship, which is exactly the experience Wuyi lacks; sixth, and most importantly, Wuyi has a good impression of her.
Zhang Guoqing nodded slowly after hearing this. Don't tell me, there are many more reasons!
"And you?"
"Only one line can wipe out all 123456, and my son has to be willing!"
"Okay, that's a valid reason."
Zhang Guoqing picked her up with one hand and laid her on the bed. "You won't take out the durian and make me kneel? Just now downstairs, I could see that you were boiling with anger."
“I can’t bear to leave!”
She really should meditate.
Sometimes, isn’t worrying too much about your son putting pressure on him?
