Chapter 94 Preparation
Although Lin Ting told Lin Ping not to be too nervous and to treat it calmly, he still had to take it seriously and not be rude.
The general cleaning was done on New Year's Eve, so there was no major cleaning. I just mopped the floor, wiped the furniture in the living room lightly with a rag, and tidied up the furnishings in the house.
The lilies on the coffee table were a little wilted, so Wang Xiuren went to the flower market on the morning of the seventh day and bought a big bunch of pink lilies, saying they were scented lilies or something. The whole living room was filled with fragrance.
Not only was the house slightly decorated, but the people at home also made preparations for tomorrow's meeting.
Not only did they try on several sets of clothes for tomorrow's meeting, Lin Ting and Wang Xiuren also shaved their beards and even trimmed their nose hairs.
Not to mention the women in the family.
Encouraged by her two daughters, Zhou Qing went to the barber shop and not only had her hair permed with oil, but also had her hair permed into delicate little curls. With the clothes her daughter bought for her, she looked like a fashionable old city lady. Lin Ting was so surprised that she kept scolding her daughter for being unreliable.
But Zhou Qing was quite happy and even secretly looked at herself in the mirror in the bathroom at night.
Lin Qiu also had her hair permed into big waves, with it hanging down like seaweed. Although she was not tall, she looked very feminine.
As soon as she got home, Wang Shan saw her mother had changed her hairstyle and immediately stuck to her.
"Mom, you look so good!"
"Why is my mom so beautiful? Like a princess!"
Lin Qiu was satisfied with his daughter's continuous flattery and her behavior of secretly playing with her curly hair from time to time.
Of course, Wang Xiuren's stunned look and fiery eyes also greatly satisfied her vanity.
As for Lin Ping, tomorrow's heroine, there is no need to mention her.
She didn't perm her hair, but just trimmed her bangs and ends slightly. However, the newly cut bangs were fluffy and casual, making her oval face look pure and sweet.
I tried on several skirts, but finally decided to wear a white shirt with a black tweed high-waisted skirt, a burgundy tweed coat on the outside, and a pair of black thick-heeled leather shoes on my feet. It looked both fashionable and festive.
"Will I feel cold wearing a skirt?" Zhou Qing was worried that her legs would get frozen. If she didn't pay attention, it would be troublesome if she got chronic cold legs.
"The weather forecast says it will be 24 degrees tomorrow! Don't worry, Mom!" Lin Ping comforted Zhou Qing, "If the weather is cold, I can just wear a pair of ankle-length pants inside."
"Just consider the weather. You can wear whatever you want as long as you don't catch a cold!" Zhou Qing was not a spoilsport mother and did not force her daughter to change her mind.
"You are all ready, what about me?"
Wang Shan looked at her beautiful grandmother, mother and aunt, and pouted her lips unhappily.
Zhou Qing immediately coaxed: "How could we forget Shanshan? Our Shanshan must dress up beautifully!"
"That's right!" Lin Ping also coaxed.
Wang Shan is not so easy to coax now, "What should I wear to meet my uncle tomorrow?"
Although she is small, she knows who she is going to meet tomorrow.
Wang Shan's question left Zhou Qing and Lin Ping at a loss for words. The three women were busy doing their hair and buying clothes and had no time to prepare anything for her.
Seeing that her grandmother and aunt couldn't answer, Wang Shan pursed her lips and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't you want to show us your sets one by one? Then we can all vote together and choose the best one, okay?"
Lin Qiu still has a solution!
Lin Qiu's words made Wang Shan burst into laughter. She hurried back to the bedroom, opened the closet, and took out all her clothes one by one. ”
As you can imagine, the closet must be a mess.
But what can we do?
I had to resign myself to helping her put on each outfit, and then I had to rack my brains to comment on them.
In the end, everyone agreed that the little dress that Lin Ping brought back last Christmas was the most suitable.
The woman took this meeting very seriously, and the man was even more so.
Ever since Yang Zhefeng returned to his hometown and told his parents that he was dating Lin Ping, Yang Changshou and Liao Ailian have been overjoyed.
After all, the son will be 26 years old after the New Year. Others at this age have already become fathers, but he doesn’t even have a partner. How can the old couple not be anxious?
Yang Changshou and Liao Ailian don't like going out now, for fear of being asked when their son will get married.
Why do Yang Changshou and his wife care so much about their son’s marriage? There are also young men of the same age as Yang Zhefeng in the village now, right?
In fact, there is another reason behind this.
In fact, Yang Zhefeng is not the biological son of Yang Changshou and Liao Ailian, but the son of Yang Changshou's brother.
However, Yang Changshou and Liao Ailian only had three daughters, so they chose Yang Zhefeng, the youngest of Yang Changshou's brother's four sons, to adopt.
When Yang Zhefeng was adopted, he was already sensible, but he also knew that being the only son of his uncle and aunt would definitely give him a better life than living with his biological parents, so he changed his mind quickly. He became very close to Yang Changshou and Liao Ailian, and also got along well with his three sisters.
To those who did not know the truth, this family was a good one with loving fathers and filial sons, friendly sisters and respectful brothers. Those who knew the family well felt that Yang Changshou had not raised this son in vain and were happy for him.
So, when they learned that their son had a girlfriend, the Yang Changshou couple finally put their worries aside.
"Where is this girl from?"
Liao Ailian took her son's hand and inquired carefully. Although Yang Changshou was sitting nearby weaving baskets, he tilted his ear to the side, not intending to miss any news.
"She's from our area!" Yang Zhefeng answered generously, "By the way, Daddy and Mommy also know her family."
"Whose family is it?"
Liao Ailian held her son's hand tightly, eager to know the answer.
"It's Uncle Lin Guanlin Ting's youngest daughter, Lin Ping!"
Yang Zhefeng didn't keep his parents waiting for long, he just said it directly, and then added: "It's the one from two years ago!"
Liao Ailian was unable to react for a moment. Wasn’t that blown two years ago? Why are you together again now?
Yang Changshou was the quickest to react. He put down the basket and slapped his thigh. "Not bad! When the matchmaker introduced the daughter of this family to Zhefeng, I asked someone to find out about this family. It's a very good family and the girl is very capable. I felt sorry when it didn't work out before, but now it seems that this golden phoenix has finally landed on this phoenix tree in my family!"
When Liao Ailian heard this, she also thought it made sense and was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
Yang Zhefeng felt sad looking at such parents and could only tell them the good news to put their minds at ease.
"Dad, Mom, I have already formally met with my uncle and aunt. He wants our family to find a time to formally meet and settle the matter!"
Yang Changshou was so shocked by the good news that he took a while to recover. He gently patted his son's shoulder and said, "Good boy! You have accomplished something so quietly!"
Yang Zhefeng was not angry even after being hit, but grinned happily.
He started by talking about his reunion with Lin Ping on the train at the beginning of the year and briefly explained the process of their relationship.
"This is fate!" Liao Ailian's eyes lit up when she heard it. "She is my daughter-in-law and no one can take her away from me!"
"That's right!" Yang Changshou lit a cigarette with satisfaction, then thought about the meeting. Worried that the night would be too long, he quickly arranged for his son to notify his three sisters and three brothers-in-law to come for dinner.
After a hearty meal and a good drink, Yang Changshou discussed his son's marriage with his daughter and son-in-law, and finally reached a consensus: on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Yang Changshou and his wife, eldest sister Yang Hongyun and her husband, second sister Yang Hongxia, third sister Yang Hongyu and Yang Zhefeng would go to Pengcheng to meet the girl's parents to show their appreciation for the girl.
The Yang family celebrated the New Year in a sloppy manner, and all the family's attention was focused on Yang Zhefeng's important affairs.
Yang Changshou and his wife made sufficient preparations for this meeting with their in-laws. Just look at the Yang family members who each carried a large luggage bag when they boarded the train on the first day of the Chinese New Year.
After arriving in Pengcheng, Yang Zhefeng refused the hotel arranged by Wang Xiuren and instead paid for the family to settle down. He then took his parents, sister and brother-in-law to the mall overnight and bought two decent sets of clothes for each of them.
"Mom, you can rest assured now!" Yang Hongyun gently patted Liao Ailian's hand.
Yang Changshou took his son and son-in-law to the outer room to count the gifts to be brought tomorrow, while in the inner room were Liao Ailian and her three daughters.
Liu Ailian touched the clothes her son bought for her and said, "Why should I worry about that?"
"Only you know that!" The younger daughter Yang Hongyu was not afraid of her mother at all, "I've said it before, Zhefeng is not a heartless person, he will definitely take care of you when you are old!"
Liao Ailian looked at her outspoken little daughter, smiled and shook her head, "Alas, I don't distrust Zhefeng, but there are sons and daughters-in-law who are not filial, not to mention..."
"What's more?" Yang Changshou pushed the door open and came in. It was unknown how much he had heard.
"Zhefeng went out to buy something. We are the only ones in the house." Yang Changshou glanced at the women in the house one by one. "I'll say this one last time. Zhefeng is our biological son and your brother. Don't think of anything messy!"
Yang Changshou looked at his wife again, "I know you always feel sorry for me for not giving birth to a son, and you worry that no one will take care of you when you are old. Don't worry, the son I raised can't be an ungrateful person! Even if I am blind and can't judge people well, we still have three daughters. If you don't believe me, don't you believe in my daughters as well?"
"That's right!" Yang Hongxia agreed with her father's words, "We three sisters will never ignore you!"
"So, just prepare to marry your daughter-in-law and take care of your grandchildren in two years!" Yang Changshou patted Liao Ailian on the shoulder, "I'll take care of everything!"
Only then did Liao Ailian nod in agreement with tears in her eyes.
The ancients said: If you have given birth but no one to raise you, you can repay it by cutting off a finger; if you have given birth and are raised, you can repay it by cutting off your head; if you have not given birth but are raised, there is no way to repay you; if I have not given birth and raised you, it will be difficult to repay you even in a hundred lifetimes.
Regardless of whether they are biological children or not, parents always plan ahead for their children.
