It's rare for family members to reunite, so naturally there was laughter and joy all around. Zhou Mingyuan and his wife couldn't stop smiling as they looked at the large family in front of them.
“Our third son got married this summer, and with the New Year coming up, our family will have one more mouth to feed,” Zhou Mingyuan said with a smile.
Zhou Qingyue and Han Manxue's wedding date was set for late July, when Han Manxue would be on summer vacation and would have time to come back for the wedding.
"In two more years, we'll have one more bite to eat, Dad. Just wait to hold your grandchildren."
Sheng Xiping took the wine bottle, filled Zhou Mingyuan's glass with wine, and replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes, third brother, did you hear that? We need to hurry up. By the time the year after next is the latest, you have to bring me a grandson or granddaughter."
Zhou Mingyuan nodded upon hearing this and gave the order to his youngest son.
"Dad, I'm not even engaged yet, and you're already pressuring me to have a baby? Isn't that a bit too hasty?" Zhou Qingyue protested.
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.
The group spent the whole day at Zhou Mingyuan's place, and it wasn't until evening that Sheng Xiping and the others went home to rest.
The sixth day of the first lunar month was the day Zhou Qingyue and Han Manxue got engaged. After breakfast, Zhou Qingyang and his wife first took Zhou Xudong to Sheng Xiping's place.
Zhou Qingyue's engagement is a big deal. If it were just one or two children, it wouldn't be so bad.
But with five children from both families, they could practically lift the roof off the house if they all got together; it's really impossible to lead them all.
Originally, Zhou Qingyang and his wife intended to send their son to the Chen family so that Chen Jie's parents could take care of him.
Zhou Xudong hadn't had enough fun with his brothers and sisters yesterday, so he absolutely refused to go to the Chen family today and insisted on going to play with his brothers instead.
With no other option, Zhou Qingyang had to leave her son with the Sheng family, where Aunt Li and Wu Yucheng would help take care of him.
Afterwards, the two couples took a car to Zhou Mingyuan's place to meet up with the three of them.
After everyone checked the engagement items and confirmed that everything was correct, they set off by car.
There were seven people in the family, and one car wasn't enough for everyone, so Zhou Qingyang drove the bureau's jeep.
The Han family lives in Fusong. The road from Songjianghe to the county is a winding mountain road. In addition, the road is slippery in winter. Zhou Qingyang is not very familiar with the road conditions, so he did not dare to drive too fast.
An hour and a half later, the group finally arrived in the county and, following Zhou Qingyue's directions, went to the Han family's residence.
The Han family lived in a single-story house near the Shandong Guild Hall.
Sheng Xiping and the others parked the car at the entrance of the alley, and everyone got out of the car, carrying their things, and walked into the alley.
Many children were playing outside in the alley. A few boys recognized Zhou Qingyue as soon as they saw him and ran into one of the courtyards.
"Grandma, Grandpa, my aunt's boyfriend is here."
The Zhou family's grandson has changed his name. He was originally named Zhou Chenming, but it's now Zhou Xudong. The grandfather's name is Zhou Mingyuan, and the grandson's name is Zhou Chenming—this doesn't seem right.
