The next day at breakfast, He Yuhan thought about her older brother's housing situation after his marriage and said, "Brother, where do you and Qingya plan to live after you get married? Wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient if you continued to live in the neighboring courtyard? Shouldn't you buy another house?"
Wen Jinyu said, "We should buy another house. After you get married, Haobo will definitely need his own room. Shouldn't we also consider your parents? The house you're living in now is a bit cramped."
He Zhenhua said, "I'm planning to buy a house. But I still prefer to buy one in this area. It would be great if there were any houses for sale in this alley. I want to live closer to Yuhan."
Gu Qishen said, "If we can't find a suitable house, we'll use the courtyard we're living in now as your wedding home. We'll rent a place somewhere else to live first."
He Zhenhua said, "How can that be? The house is yours, there's no reason for you to move elsewhere. I'll look for a place first."
He Yuhan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Big brother, the courtyard where Sister Qingya lives is inhabited by an elderly couple. Their children are all in other places. I think I once heard that they intended to sell the house and move to live with their son."
Go ask them later; if they really are selling the house, wouldn't it be perfect for you to buy it? That way, even if you and Qingya get married, we'll still live close by, which will be much more convenient.
Upon hearing this, He Zhenhua happily said, "Then I'll go ask about it today."
He Zhenhua took a day off; he needed to formally receive his future mother-in-law today. Of course, he still needed his sister's help.
After finishing breakfast, He Zhenhua went out and made a phone call to his parents. Yu Huiru answered the phone.
He Zhenhua said, "Mom, I'm dating someone and I want to get married."
Yu Huiru asked in disbelief, "Son, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again."
He Zhenhua laughed and said, "I told you I'm dating someone and I want to get married."
Yu Huiru asked with surprise, "Whose daughter is she? Do I know her?"
Hearing his wife's words, He Chenglin, who was reading the newspaper, looked up.
He Zhenhua said, "You know her? She's the Dr. Yan Qingya who Yuhan told you about, the one who just moved here recently. She's the niece of Liu** from Qianyuan County."
Yu Huiru was even happier when she heard this, "Is it the girl who became good friends with Yuhan?"
He Zhenhua replied, "Yes, it's her."
Yu Huiru said happily, "Oh my, that girl is really nice. Boss, this is really good news. Have you met her parents yet?"
He Zhenhua was also pleased to hear his mother's words and said, "Qingya's mother came to see Qingya yesterday, and I have already met her mother. Her mother is very supportive of my marriage to Qingya. I was thinking that you and Dad might come here to meet both sets of parents, and take the opportunity to propose marriage and discuss the wedding date. It would be a matter of respect for them."
Yu Huiru said, "Yes, yes, we should meet them. We need to go to their home to propose marriage. Your father and I will discuss it and go to Qianyuan County as soon as possible."
He Zhenhua said, "Yuhan said that you and my dad should come to your brother and sister-in-law's place here and ask Aunt Liang and Aunt Wang to help look after the child. You can go back to City C after Qingya and I finish our wedding."
Yu Huiru said, "Okay, you don't need to worry about that. Your dad and I will get to Qianyuan County as soon as possible."
Yu Huiru gave her son some more instructions on what to prepare for the marriage proposal before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she excitedly said, "Old He, our eldest son has a girlfriend and is getting married."
He Chenglin had overheard some of it, but not all of it, and asked, "Do you know that girl? What's her like?"
Yu Huiru said, "That girl is Liu**'s niece from Qianyuan County. I've met her; she's a very nice girl and works as a doctor at the county hospital. In any case, it's a wonderful thing that our eldest son is willing to remarry."
He Chenglin nodded happily and said, "Yes, a girl who can catch the eye of our boss must be quite good, especially since she is friends with Yuhan, and Yuhan's taste is beyond question."
When are we going to Qianyuan County?
Yu Huiru said, "The eldest brother said it would be best if both sets of parents met and then discussed the wedding date. He seemed to be in a hurry."
He Chenglin laughed and said, "This brat, he used to refuse to find a wife no matter what, saying he wanted to stay single for life, but now he's more anxious than anyone else."
Yu Huiru said, "If we go to Qianyuan County, we'll have to ask my in-laws to help take care of things here."
After discussing it, the couple quickly made arrangements. They hoped to travel to Qianyuan County as soon as possible to arrange their eldest son's wedding. They were overjoyed that their eldest son finally wanted to remarry. They also hoped that their eldest son could find happiness instead of spending his life alone.
After making the call, He Zhenhua went straight to Yan Qingya's place and told his future mother-in-law about the results of their discussion the day before. "Auntie, don't worry, my brother-in-law has already sent people to resolve this matter. I believe those people won't make any further moves easily."
Liu Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing He Zhenhua's words and said, "Thank you so much. I can rest assured now."
He Zhenhua said, "Auntie, please come to my house today. I'll introduce everyone to you."
Liu Jingzhi said, "Okay, then I'll also visit Yuhan's mother-in-law while I'm at it."
He Zhenhua turned to Yan Qingya and asked, "Qingya, are the two elderly people in this courtyard planning to sell the house?"
Yan Qingya said, "I overheard Aunt Wu mention it last time, it seems she's going to stay with her son. Why are you asking about this?"
He Zhenhua said, "If they want to sell the house, I'll buy it. We'll live in this house after we get married. The place I live now is full of single men, and it would be a bit inconvenient for us to live there after we get married."
This house is detached and has its own yard, which is convenient. It will also have a place to stay when the elderly from both sides of the family come to visit.
Liu Jingzhi was delighted to hear that He Zhenhua had considered things so thoroughly, and said, "It would be wonderful if we could live in our own courtyard. Zhenhua, you've thought of everything. Qingya, go and ask him."
Yan Qingya was also very happy that He Zhenhua had considered so much for her, and she said without being shy, "Then I'll go ask him now."
Yan Qingya returned quickly, beaming. "Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu are indeed planning to sell their house, but they're not in a hurry. If we want to buy, they can vacate the house for us."
However, they need to be given a side room to stay in; they won't be leaving for a while. It will have to wait until arrangements are made for their son.
He Zhenhua was even happier to hear this and said, "That's no problem, as long as we can sell the house to them, it's fine to let them live there for a while."
"Let's go talk to Grandpa Wu and the others."
