The two chatted for a while, and then Hu Xiaoman went home first.
I just came back and ran here. I haven’t gone back to rest yet.
Although there is space, the journey is very tiring.
In the afternoon, Lu Jianghe went to see her after work. They had dinner at Hu Xiaoman's house, and Shen Yulan was also called over.
"Aunt, I don't know what you like to eat, so I just made something casually." Hu Xiaoman arranged the dishes and served her rice.
Lu Jianghe took the rice spoon and served rice to Hu Xiaoman.
Shen Yulan smiled and said, "I can eat anything. You just came back and cooked so many dishes. Why didn't you tell me? I have nothing to do at home, so I can cook a meal."
She knew that Hu Xiaoman was on a long business trip and must be very tired after traveling back and forth on the train for so many days.
But this child still cooks for them, which is really heartbreaking.
If she hadn't known Hu Xiaoman was coming back, she would have made preparations.
Thinking of this, she continued, "Xiao Man, next time you come back from your business trip, please say hello to your aunt. I feel bad for always asking you to cook. Can you let your aunt help out too?"
Hearing this, Hu Xiaoman smiled and said, "Oh, Auntie, please don't be polite! I don't have a fixed time when I'm on a business trip. I might be back any day."
"How about this, next time I go home I'll take the initiative to go to your place for dinner, okay?"
She knew what kind of person Shen Yulan was. Although they had not known each other for a long time, she could tell that she always did a good job.
This time Shen Yulan was satisfied, nodded and said, "That's great!"
The three of them didn't talk much while eating. After the meal, Lu Jianghe helped to clean up the dishes.
Seeing her son working for the little girl, Shen Yulan was not unhappy, but rather very happy.
When her husband was alive, they did housework together.
This kind of life is actually better, and the relationship between the two people will be better.
"Xiaoman, what do you think of Jianghe?" she asked with a smile.
Hu Xiaoman nodded, "It's pretty good."
If it wasn't good, she wouldn't be dating Lu Jianghe, right?
Shen Yulan asked again: "When do you plan to get married?"
"Marriage?" Hu Xiaoman was stunned for a moment. "Marriage...why did you suddenly mention marriage?"
Does she think it's a bit too early to get married now?
Hearing this, Shen Yulan was a little confused and asked, "Don't you want to get married?"
"I saw that you two have been together for quite some time, so I asked."
"After all, our family is not irresponsible. Jiang He is sincere to you, and you are old enough. If you don't want to..."
She paused and continued, "If you don't want to, you can get married first or live separately."
In fact, what she wanted to say was that if they didn’t want to share a room, they could just stay like this.
But Shen Yulan was also quite embarrassed. The other party was a little girl, and it would be inappropriate to say such things.
So, she spoke in a roundabout way.
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoman hesitated. She naturally didn't want to be a mother at such a young age.
Although women could get married at the age of 18, they still had to have children after getting married.
Just a teenager.
She was not a conservative person, but this body was too young, and there was no benefit in getting married too early.
At least you have to wait until you are twenty years old, right?
"Aunt, I really like Lu Jianghe, and he's a very nice person, and he treats me very well."
"But I don't really want to get married so early. I want to wait until I'm twenty."
Hu Xiaoman spoke her true feelings because she was afraid that they would misunderstand and think that she was unwilling to get married.
Hearing this, Shen Yulan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's not too late to get married at 20. I'm just worried that you'll feel that our family isn't being responsible for you by not mentioning it."
"But if you think so, we respect your decision."
She watched Lu Jianghe running towards this side every day and was really worried.
I was afraid that Hu Xiaoman would think too much, and the woman’s reputation was very important at this time.
Hu Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief. They agreed with his idea, which was the best.
Shen Yulan continued, "But we have to get married. Otherwise, if we keep going back and forth like this, I'm afraid the neighbors will gossip about us."
She is a woman and understands the importance of reputation best.
Arranging the marriage in this way is also a way to be responsible to Hu Xiaoman and show recognition of her.
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoman nodded in agreement. Since she had already kissed and hugged this man, she might as well give him a name.
"Okay, Auntie, that's fine."
Seeing that she agreed, Shen Yulan smiled and said, "Okay, go back and tell your family. If they agree, we can make an appointment to talk."
Family members?
Hu Xiaoman didn't say anything, thinking that if Zhang Chunxia and the others came, the engagement would probably be turned upside down.
Seeing that she was silent, Shen Yulan guessed what she was thinking and said, "Xiaoman, this is not a trivial matter. Although you have conflicts with your family, you still have to tell them."
"Marriage is a major event in life, and I can't not tell my family."
Hu Xiaoman had conflicts with her family, and she had known this for a long time.
Judging from Hu Xiaoman’s mother’s attitude, it’s probably not the child’s fault.
Even if it is a child's problem, parents should be more understanding and not handle it like this.
Hu Xiaoman sighed and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I will tell my family."
Never mind. Whatever.
Anyway, they knew what the Hu family was like, so even if they broke up in the end, they could understand it.
After the two finished talking, Lu Jianghe also came into the house.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Yulan was about to go home.
The two men sent the person out, and Lu Jianghe went back and sat down.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Hu Xiaoman asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Jianghe looked up and said, "Xiaoman, I respect your idea. If you want to get married at the age of 20, I will wait for you."
"As for your family, don't worry. I will agree to anything they want."
Although he didn't know what the Hu family was like, he had heard about them from his neighbors.
The greedy family favors boys over girls. They don’t care and just want more money and things.
He can give anything as long as Hu Xiaoman can be with him.
Hu Xiaoman sighed, "Don't worry, I won't agree even if they go too far."
As long as it's within a reasonable range, she will not refuse to give it.
Besides, judging from Hu Qinghai’s previous attitude, Zhang Chunxia probably wouldn’t dare to go too far.
The two of them chatted for a while and then parted ways.
Hu Xiaoman took a hot bath and went to bed early.
The next morning, she changed into clean clothes and this time she could wear short sleeves.
The weather in Northeast China has also warmed up, unlike before when it was extremely cold in the morning.
Hu Xiaoman wore a goose yellow and brown plaid short-sleeved shirt, and his pants were still black.
I also put on little leather shoes, three centimeter heels, which are very comfortable to wear.
Small cadres naturally have to wear leather shoes. Isn't it a matter of face?
Of course, she just thought that wearing leather shoes looked good and made her look like a leader.
