Chapter 114 The Second Engagement
We had a sumptuous reunion dinner.
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Lin Su'e dressed neatly and decently and rode her bicycle to Pu County.
today.
It was the day when Xue Guixian and Zhao Hehua got engaged.
She and three members of the Sun family made an appointment to meet at the gate of the county town at 9 o'clock.
Just ride a bike there.
8:55.
Lin Su'e arrived in Pu County, and before she reached the city gate, she found Zhao Hehua and two others.
The other side.
They also found Lin Su'e.
Wang Ping quickly raised her hand and waved: "He Sanpo Hua, here."
Lin Su'e answered loudly: "Coming."
Come closer.
She got out of the car.
"How long have you been waiting?"
Wang Ping smiled and said, "We just got here not long ago, so we didn't have to wait for long."
"Hehua, what are you standing there for? Help your third wife push the cart and jam it."
Zhao Hehua nodded: "Oh, okay."
Lin Su'e did not refuse and let go of the handlebars.
"He Sanpo Hua, should we go to Xue's house first? Or should we go to the place where we eat first?"
"Let's go to Xue's house first."
Lin Su'e: "I don't know which hotel they arranged it in. After all, there are several state-owned hotels in the city."
Wang Ping nodded: "That's right."
The group walked forward.
Lin Su'e saw Wang Ping and Wang Mingcai's tense faces out of the corner of her eye and prepared to ease their tension.
Looking at Zhao Hehua who was walking in the front, she suddenly had an idea: "Haha, Hehua, you have a good memory. You memorized the route after only coming here once~"
Hearing this.
Zhao Hehua was a little embarrassed: "I just remember the general idea."
"Good memory, quick learner."
Lin Su'e praised: "I think it won't be long before you can become a cart driver."
Wang Ping smiled happily and said modestly, "Hehua has had a good memory since he was young, but driving is a technical job. He is clumsy and it will take him a long time to learn."
Sun Mingcai also nodded in agreement.
Lin Su'e followed up with a conversation.
After chatting for a while, both of them looked visibly more relaxed.
Entered a small alley.
Zhao Hehua suddenly said, "It's almost time."
Wang Ping and Sun Mingcai immediately stopped smiling and tried to hold their heads high and their chests straight.
Wang Ping pulled Lin Su'e's arm and asked in a low voice, "Su'e, should we go in later? I heard that neighbors in the city live close together, so won't there be a lot of people watching me?"
"Maybe, maybe..." Lin Su'e was unsure and changed her mind halfway through her words: "Don't worry about it for now."
Pointing in a direction, he said, "Sister Ping, Guixian and the others are waiting at the door."
Wang Ping panicked: "Ah?!"
Lin Su'e has already greeted them warmly: "Master Xue, Mianmian, Guixian."
The three people looked over, their faces full of surprise, and hurried over to greet him.
Zhao Hehua took the initiative to call people: "Uncle Xue, Aunt He, Guixian."
"Hehua, here we come!"
He Mian smiled at him kindly, looked at the strange couple who looked reserved, guessed their identities, and took the initiative to greet them warmly: "In-laws, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and finally I get to meet you."
"You must have worked hard to come here from the village."
Hearing her friendly words, Wang Ping's nervousness eased a little and she smiled: "It's not hard, not hard at all."
"You're too polite, mother-in-law."
Sun Mingcai nodded.
He was not good at speaking to begin with, and in this kind of situation, his words were even worse.
So just don't say it.
Seeing his wife talking to her mother-in-law, Xue Zhixiong took it upon himself to entertain Sun Mingcai: "Father-in-law, I heard that you can drink a lot. Let's not go home until we are drunk at noon today."
Sun Mingcai smiled innocently and nodded.
Xue Zhixiong and He Mian took the initiative to talk to each other. Both sides were kind people, and their relationship quickly became closer.
Lin Su'e did not get involved.
The in-laws can only rely on themselves to get along with each other.
She only helped with matchmaking, and after marriage, it was still the two families that lived together for a long time.
Xue Guixian and Zhao Hehua walked at the end in tacit understanding.
With the presence of their elders, the two of them were separated by a distance of a shoulder, but they exchanged smiles from time to time, and the distance made the atmosphere even sweeter.
…
He Mian invited Wang Ping and others to sit inside.
After entering the compound, many people indeed came out to watch the fun, but no one was so tactless as to interrupt.
They started talking only after they went upstairs.
"I was wondering why Xue Zhixiong's family was dressed so formally, it turns out they were meeting their future in-laws!"
"What future in-laws?"
"You didn't see Guixian's boyfriend come to your house last time? He was that young man. I guess his parents were next to him, right?"
"It's not my parents, it's my uncle and aunt. They came today to get engaged."
“Is this true or false?”
"He Mian told me this himself, how could it be false?"
“It’s done pretty fast!”
"That's right~"
"Guixian is old enough now, so just get married if the right person is found. It won't be a big problem if it's quick."
"I think that young man is good-looking and a good match for Guixian."
"I see that they are engaged and will be getting married soon, so we should quickly prepare the red envelopes and gifts."
"I'm afraid not?"
"That's right, how fast can it be? We'll have to go at least next year."
"Yes~"
"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending? This year the factory is hiring a bunch of regular employees, and Master Xue has a spot, but it will expire in December. If he doesn't get his son-in-law in before it expires, he'd be crazy."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone suddenly realized.
"It seems to be the case."
"Hiss~"
"If I were Master Xue, I would definitely get married and get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. It's not easy to be a regular employee in a transportation factory."
"This guy is so lucky. He is a country boy who married a city girl and got a stable job in a transportation factory for free."
Some people had dirty thoughts: "Master Xue is not afraid of making a mistake! What if this young man treats Guixian badly in the future, or divorces her..."
She was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
"Li Aiqin, you can't spit out ivory from your mouth, right? Guixian hasn't even gotten married yet, and you're not expecting anything good. You're saying that your relationship is not good, so you're getting a divorce. If He Mian finds out, he'll fight you to death. Do you believe it?"
Everyone agreed.
"that is."
"Be more polite in your speech."
“…”
Li Aiqin didn't dare to anger the crowd, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously~"
Parted on bad terms.
Xue family.
The atmosphere is harmonious.
He Mian and Wang Ping were chatting animatedly, with Lin Su'e interjecting from time to time, and before they knew it, it was 11:30 in the morning.
Xue Zhixiong said: "It's time to eat."
He Mian stopped talking and stood up: "The state-owned restaurant is doing good business, let's go early and choose a good seat."
…
State-owned hotel.
The group was the first table of guests.
Xue Zhixiong ordered all the dishes.
As soon as the dishes were served, he poured wine for everyone one by one.
This wine was brought from home.
Lin Su'e also knows him, and it can be said that every Chinese person knows him.
Moutai.
This was the first time that Lin Su'e drank it in her past and present lives. She first looked at the color curiously, then smelled the flavor and took a sip.
"Hiss~"
Spicy and choking!
She really can't appreciate white wine.
After looking around, He Mian, Xue Guixian, Wang Ping and Zhao Hehua were not quite used to it. They touched their lips and put it down.
Wang Mingcai was delighted: "This wine is really delicious!"
Xue Zhixiong smiled and said, "If you like it, I have a few more bottles. You can take them back."
Wang Mingcai waved his hands: "How can this be so embarrassing? No, no..."
"Why are you being polite?"
Xue Zhixiong waved his hand: "This is a gift from the factory when I was on a business trip to Guizhou. I don't want any money."
Then, pretending to be displeased, "Are you disgusted?"
Wang Mingcai hurriedly shook his head: "How could that be? Then I will shamelessly accept it."
"That's how it should be."
"Come on, in-laws, let's do one."
"cheers."
“…”
Everyone enjoyed the meal and talked and laughed.
Finally, the atmosphere reached its climax when He Mian proposed to hold two weddings and not announce in the village that she was recruiting a son-in-law.
