Lin Ye and Qin Tianhua were not very familiar with each other, and Lin Ye was a man of her word. Since she had promised Meng Yiming not to ask him about his past, even though she was curious about his past, she never asked a single question.
Similarly, Qin Tianhua was worried that he would say too much and ruin the relationship between Meng Yiming and Lin Ye, so he didn't talk about Meng Yiming either.
Along the way, the two only occasionally chatted about work.
Most of the time, Lin was recalling every detail of his past with Meng Yiming.
After Meng Yiming saw the two off, he went to buy some local specialties and then found a guesthouse to stay in.
The next day after he returned to Beijing, he brought some local specialties to visit the Song family.
The Song family is quite deserted now. Sometimes when Song Huaiqian is on a business trip, only Lin Yunyi and the nanny Xiao Jiang are left at home.
In the past six months, Meng Yiming has come to the Song family more frequently, mainly to accompany them.
Meng Yiming talked about what happened in the exploration team.
Lin Yunyi looked worried. "Is your classmate reliable?"
Meng Yiming replied, "I don't know him very well, and I haven't seen him in so many years, so I have no idea what kind of person he is now. But based on what happened that day, I think he should keep his word."
Lin Yunyi said: "I still have to find Xiaoye's leader privately and arrange for Xiaoye to go somewhere else next time."
Having said that, the three of them were still vaguely worried. This kind of thing is really hard to guard against. What if they run into acquaintances somewhere else?
Meng Yiming said, "Uncle and aunt, the house has been renovated. Xiaoye and I have discussed it and are planning to pick a date to get married around the New Year."
Song Huaiqian said, "Maybe after the New Year. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it before the New Year."
"Okay." Meng Yiming said, "Xiaoye will be back in mid-to-late December. When she comes back, my parents and I will come visit our home."
Song Huaiqian said, "We don't have any rules in our family. Just follow your family's customs."
The marriage was preliminarily agreed upon.
Beijing got even colder in November, and it was time for Wen Qiuning to have a follow-up checkup.
The follow-up examination results showed that everything was normal, and the couple were very happy. The next step was to perform surgery on the other side.
Meng Yiming said to Xiangyang, "Since you are planning to have a child, I suggest you get a comprehensive checkup."
Yu Xiangyang was astonished, "I want to do it too?"
"Just have one. If anything happens, you can get timely treatment. If nothing happens, you can prepare for pregnancy without any worries."
Not to mention that Yu Xiangyang had never done this kind of examination, no one around Yu Xiangyang had done this kind of examination either. Naturally, he had never heard of the steps for this kind of examination.
He was dumbfounded when the nurse took him into a room filled with what he thought were pornographic pictures.
The nurse's next words refreshed his understanding.
He even suspected that Meng Yiming wanted to laugh at him?!
He took the test sample with gritted teeth, and when he sent it to the nurses for examination, he was too embarrassed to look at them.
Wen Qiuning didn't know how Yu Xiangyang did the examination, and asked curiously, "How did you do your examination?"
Yu Xiangyang: “...hand.”
Wen Qiuning understood a little, and then comforted him, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
Yu Xiangyang's test results were all normal.
"I told you I have no problem!" Yu Xiangyang said confidently.
Wen Qiuning underwent a second operation, which was also successful, and is now waiting for a second follow-up examination.
In mid-December, Lin also came back.
Song Huaiqian and the others got information from her and learned that everything was fine over there, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Yiming's parents and his brother's family came to Beijing from Wencheng to discuss their marriage.
Meng Yiming chose Sunday to visit, and Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie were both at home today.
The Meng family is well-off and has prepared a lot of things.
A large box of Wencheng specialties, including high-end cigarettes, tea, and alcohol in even numbers, as well as pork, peanut candy, eggs, and other essential items for proposing marriage.
Of course, the Meng family also prepared a betrothal gift of three thousand yuan.
It’s one thing for the Song family not to want it, but since they have the ability, they naturally have to prepare for it and not let the girl down.
This money was originally intended for them to buy a wedding house, but since the house was bought by the Song family, the Meng family had to give the betrothal gift.
Meng Yiming's family started getting busy early, preparing for the proposal.
The Song family was very calm. They didn't have any demands on the Meng family. They just regarded today as a chance for the two families to sit down and chat and get to know each other.
Lin Ye has a carefree personality and is still wearing his usual clothes.
Lin Yunyi said, "Xiaoye, someone is here to propose marriage today. You should dress up nicely. This will show your respect to them."
Lin Ye: "...How should I dress?"
Lin Yunyi: "...I'll help you."
Lin Yunyi helped Lin Ye match an outfit: a red sweater inside, a beige plaid coat outside, and black pants underneath.
Lin Yunyi also put on some light makeup for her.
Lin Yunyi originally wanted Lin Ye to wear a skirt, but Lin Ye didn't have a skirt at all.
She has been chasing and fighting with a group of boys since she was a child. It is easy for her to expose herself when wearing a skirt, so Lin Yunyi always makes her wear pants.
Over time, Lin Ye could no longer wear skirts. No matter how hot the weather was, she always wore long pants.
Lin Yunyi said, "After today, I'll go pick out some dresses with you."
Lin Ye: "It's inconvenient for me to wear a skirt. Not to mention working, I can't even ride a bike."
"It's for a wedding." Lin Yunyi said, "How can you be like this? Someone came to propose marriage, and you're dressed like you're going to go mining."
The Meng family came after lunch.
Xiaojie was keeping watch at the gate of the compound. When he saw Meng Yiming and the others coming, he hurried home to inform his family.
The five members of the Song family from three generations came to the door to greet them. After some greetings and introductions, everyone went into the house.
Lin also served them tea and water. Although Meng Yiming's parents had seen Erni when she was a child, they had no impression of her after so many years.
At this time, when they saw Lin Ye, they didn't think of her as Erni at all.
The Song family accepted the things brought by the Meng family, but when it came to the betrothal gift, Song Huaiqian and others politely declined.
Song Huaiqian and the others politely declined.
They thought that if the Meng family insisted on giving it to them, they would accept it and then give it to Lin Ye.
Who knew that this silly girl Lin Ye didn't understand what her parents meant and refused firmly.
Song Huaiqian and the others could only grit their teeth and help Lin Ye refuse.
Meng Yiming's father was very good at speaking. "From now on, we are all family. There is no distinction between yours and mine. As a family, we just want to be happy. You and Yiming's happiness is more important than anything else."
Meng Yiming also helped speak up, "Uncle and aunt, this is a gift from my parents. They just hope that our future lives will be easier. And Xiaoye, you should help keep it for now. If my parents need money, you can give it to them."
Lin Ye still wanted to insist, but Lin Yunyi secretly pinched her.
Lin didn't dare to speak again.
The Song family reluctantly accepted the betrothal gift.
