Chapter 81 Mother Wen's Attitude
Chapter 82 Mother Wen's Attitude
That morning, Fang's mother ran into Wen's mother while shopping for groceries. The two of them exchanged polite greetings. Seeing that the time was right, Fang's mother pulled Wen's mother aside and said, "Sister Wen, look, my Qingqing has also been admitted to university, and is in the same school as your Wen Ning. These two children have always been doing well. How about we..."
But before Fang's mother finished speaking, Wen's mother suddenly pulled back her hand, "Oh, Miss Fang, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there are some urgent matters at home, I have to go back quickly, let's talk about it another day..."
After saying this, without waiting for Fang's mother to say anything else, he turned around and ran away with the vegetable basket.
Fang's mother swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and looked at Sister Wen who was running fast with a puzzled look on her face, "This person, I haven't finished talking yet, and he's running so fast..."
When she got home, Fang's mother felt that the Wen family's attitude was problematic, so she told her husband, "Do you think the Wen family is dragging their feet because they don't agree with the relationship between the two families?"
Mr. and Mrs. Fang didn't know about what Mrs. Wen said in the hospital before, so they had no idea what injustice their daughter had suffered. They were only thinking about getting their two children engaged so that they could put their minds at ease.
"What could it be? Can't he just have an urgent matter? Why should he be in such a hurry? Our child is also a college student. After graduation, he will be a leader anyway, no worse than his child. What are you afraid of? At worst, we can find a better one for our daughter!"
The old couple had a good idea, but Grandma Fang, who was sitting next to them, snorted, "In my opinion, you guys should forget about it! I've never heard of a woman chasing after a man. The Wen family has figured out your attitude and is just playing with you, but you two took it seriously!"
Although Fang's mother felt that her mother's words were unpleasant, she still felt that the old lady's words made sense. She made up her mind that at most she could prepare more dowry for her daughter and find a better one when the time came. She just didn't believe that there was no other good guy in the world except Wen Ning!
The two parents were competing secretly, but the parties involved were completely unaware.
Wen Ning did not go for a summer internship, so he came back early to help Fang Qing celebrate as soon as the summer vacation started.
Over the past year, the two have been writing letters to each other, and Wen Ning has given Fang Qing great encouragement and support spiritually. Now that the college entrance examination is over, Fang Qing finally agreed to him that the two can be together openly.
Wen Ning has lived on the university campus for a year. He has become less naive than before and has gradually become more mature. His temperament has become more outstanding and he always attracts the girls around him to turn around when he walks in the crowd.
Fang Qing looked at the two people holding hands, his face felt hot, and he kept his head down all the way, embarrassed to look at other people's gazes.
Wen Ning saw that her face was slightly red and thought it was because of the hot weather, so he pulled Fang Qing to a fried ice cream stand and bought her a portion of fried ice cream.
Watching his girlfriend lowering her head to eat, Wen Ning felt relieved. After thinking about her for so many days, they finally met again.
The two sat on a park bench by the river, looking at the stars in the distance and talking about their respective gains in the past year.
Wen Ning talked about how he joined the school broadcasting station, joined several clubs, and became the student union president. His daily life was busy but fulfilling, which made Fang Qing more and more envious.
Wen Ning patted her head and said, "Don't be envious. In a little over a month, you will be my freshman junior. If there is any club you want to join, I can help you apply."
Fang Qing thought about it and shook his head, "I don't know what I can do. I only know how to draw."
Wen Ning nodded, "I'll go back and think about it, and I'll tell you when I find a suitable location."
As the night deepened, Wen Ning sent Fang Qing back home. When they reached the door, Wen Ning couldn't help but want to hug her, but before he could reach out his hand, the door was opened and the young couple quickly separated. Wen Ning's outstretched hand turned to touch his head and scratched his hair to hide his embarrassment.
Father Fang stood at the door and stared at the two of them in a daze. "You're back. I said I'd go out to greet you. Why don't you come in when you get home?"
Fang Qing gave Wen Ning a look and quickly slipped into the door. Wen Ning greeted Fang's father and then turned around and went home.
Father Fang had no idea what the two meant. He entered the house and talked to his daughter, saying that he would discuss the marriage between the two families with the Wen family in the near future. Fang Qing was so scared that she hurriedly stopped him, "Dad, isn't this too early? He and I...we have only been together for a short time, no, no, let's wait..."
Father Fang glared at her and said, "Look, you're talking nonsense again, aren't you? Can this kind of thing wait? What if you two have been together for several years and she doesn't want you anymore? You won't have anywhere to cry then. Dad is doing this for your own good!"
Fang Qing couldn't convince her father and finally compromised, but when she thought of what Aunt Wen said in the hospital that year, she felt that this matter would not be so easy.
Things turned out just as she expected. A few days later, her mother came home angrily and sat on the sofa sulking as soon as she entered the house. Fang Qing saw that she looked unhappy and hurriedly sat over to her.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? You have a bad heart, and the doctor told you not to get angry..."
Fang's mother leaned on the sofa irritably, with the back of her hand on her forehead and sighed, "What do you know? I went to see Wen Ning's mother today to discuss your engagement, but when I asked, I found out that she had gone to visit relatives in the province. I told her two days ago to find a time to discuss it, but she ran away! What does their family mean by this!"
At this point, Fang's mother suddenly sat up straight and looked at her daughter seriously, "Qingqing, tell me the truth, what is Wen Ning's attitude towards you? Is he serious?"
Fang Qing nodded quickly, "We are both serious, and I believe he won't lie to me."
Fang's mother then sighed, "Forget it, let's wait a little longer. You are still young anyway, and it is indeed a bit hasty to get engaged so early. But you have to promise me that you two will never do anything out of line..."
Fang Qingteng blushed, "Mom, what are you talking about? Are we two such ignorant people? I won't say anymore. I'm going to pack my things." Then he stood up and went back to his room.
Fang's mother sighed as she looked at her daughter's back. It is true that girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up.
Thinking that her daughter might stay in a big city to work, Fang's mother returned to her room, took out the passbook from under the kang, and decided to buy a house in a big city based on her daughter's suggestion...
Fang Qing's notice has arrived.
On the day when she received the admission notice, Teacher Zhang and the county leaders came to congratulate Fang Qing. Although Fang Qing was not the top scorer in this session, she was also among the top five in the county. The county specially rewarded her with 1,000 yuan as an encouragement.
Facing the camera, the Fang family was excited and nervous. After all, Fang's father was a cadre, so he was not at all stage fright. He shook hands with the county leader with a smile and accepted the certificate of honor issued by the county. The family took a group photo and saw off the relatives and friends who came to celebrate. Then Fang's father and mother began to think about going to the capital.
