My niece had planned to go to the station after dinner, but suddenly a beautiful daughter-in-law appeared out of nowhere. She couldn't bear to leave, so she stayed to ask her son what the situation was, what the girl's family wanted, and she needed to go back and prepare for the wedding with her husband!
"You all didn't know Junjie has a girlfriend?" my niece asked.
Shi Junjie hadn't returned yet; she was chatting with Fang Yanming and his wife.
Fang Yanming shook his head with a smile, "I only found out today. This kid kept it a secret pretty well. Cousin, what do you think of Miss Gao?"
"She's perfect. She's beautiful, capable, and a graduate of a prestigious university. My son is lucky to have her." My niece beamed, but then added with some concern, "I've heard that it's fashionable for city girls to only date and not get married. Will Miss Gao be able to do that?"
She and her husband drive cars all over the country, so they know a lot of fellow car enthusiasts and have a broader perspective. She often hears her fellow car enthusiasts say that nowadays, city girls are learning from foreigners, only dating but not getting married, saying that they want to enjoy their time together, and if things don't work out, they can break up at any time and find the next one.
"No, Junjie just said at the door that he and Miss Gao have discussed it and are planning to get married next year. Don't worry about it," Mao Fangfei reassured her niece.
My niece's eyes crinkled with laughter. "That's great! I'll go back tomorrow and talk to Junjie's dad about selling the house in the county town. I reckon it'll fetch two or three hundred thousand. I'll need your help to find a nicer house then. With our savings and a little more money, we should be able to scrape together a million or so. That should be enough for the down payment, right?"
“You don’t need to buy one. Miss Gao already has a house in a good location and it’s big enough. You don’t need to prepare a wedding house,” Fang Yanming said.
“No way, there are plenty of girls out there. We can’t take advantage of them. If Junjie lives with a girl, people will look down on him.” My niece kept shaking her head. Buying a house is a must, and she has already prepared the money.
Mao Fangfei smiled and said, "You should discuss this with Junjie. He has his own ideas."
"Okay, I'll talk to him about it later. Ah, I can finally relax. As long as Junjie gets married and has a baby, boy or girl, I won't have to worry about him anymore. I can focus on taking care of the two little ones."
My niece breathed a sigh of relief. Now that her eldest son has settled down and started a family, her and her husband's burden can be lighter. They can then focus on taking care of their two younger children. Isn't that how life is? Focusing on raising children. That's how the older generation got through it, and that's how she and her husband will get through it too.
One generation governs the next!
Mao Fangfei was a little uneasy. Her cousin didn't know Gao Shengnan's age yet and thought she was the same age as Shi Junjie. If she knew that Gao Shengnan was six years older, would she agree to the marriage?
My niece wasn't very nice when she talked about Master Shi Junjie!
Shi Junjie didn't waste much time and returned quickly. As soon as he entered the house, his niece started questioning him repeatedly.
"Your aunt said you and your boyfriend are planning to get married next year. When? Should Mom go and find an auspicious date? Summer is definitely not a good time. It would be best to get married in the second half of the year so we have more time to prepare."
“Don’t worry about the house. Your dad and I have prepared the down payment. You’ll have to pay the mortgage yourself. We’ll buy a big one, at least 120 square meters. If it’s too small, it won’t be comfortable for us, and my grandson won’t have a place to live.”
My niece was excitedly planning for the future, her eyes shining.
Shi Junjie interrupted and asked, "A down payment of one million for a 120-square-meter apartment is already a million. Where did you and Dad get so much money?"
