Although Hu Peizhen's voice was very soft, the space was small and Zhenye and the others had strong senses, so they were able to hear the couple's conversation.
All four men developed feelings for the girl.
Zhang Zhenye gestured for everyone to sit down. The manager entered and stood respectfully behind Zhenye.
"Ping An, what would this lady like to eat? Could you please order for her?"
Ping An nodded with a smile. He ordered several dishes that they both liked.
"Big brother, when will Xiao Wu and the other two arrive?"
"It should be soon; they went to headquarters today."
The manager noted down the menu and waited for the other young masters to order.
At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and Xiao Wu and the other two entered.
Hu Peizhen's eyes lit up when she saw the handsome young man enter.
"We three are late, sorry Brother Ping An."
"Being late shows that you've been working hard."
Xiao Wu and his two friends greeted their older brother and sister-in-law again. Now everyone was present.
What would you three like to eat?
"Bring all our signature dishes."
Life is good now, so the three of them really don't know what they want to eat.
Xiao Liu called out to the manager, "One cup of yogurt for everyone."
The manager left, and Ping An introduced Xiao Wu and his friends to his girlfriend.
Xiao Qi found it quite interesting to look at the woman staring at them.
The food was served very quickly; they have a dedicated chef assigned to them.
While waiting for the food, Yang Lijun and the other three chatted with Hu Peizhen. They knew a lot about her, but they wanted to judge her character based on her usual words.
Everyone was secretly observing her. Although it was now a certainty that Ping An and the others would become a family, they still needed to be observed carefully.
After the meal, everyone felt that Ping An's future wife was acceptable.
After the meal, the waiter quickly cleaned up the mess, and everyone sat down to drink tea.
The men talked about work, while the women talked about Hu Peizhen's school.
They didn't go home until nine o'clock.
Hu Peizhen sat in the passenger seat and said, "Ping An, Xiao Wu is really outstanding. I think he's prettier than Third Brother."
Ping An just laughed on the side; there really was no way the two brothers could compare to each other.
I escorted Hu Peizhen to her doorstep, but didn't go inside. It was too late.
When Zhenye and the others arrived home, their families went to rest, and the seven of them went into the study.
What do you guys think of Ping An's girlfriend?
"I think it's alright, not pretentious," Zhang Ruifeng said first.
Gu Yaozu nodded, "She's a decent girl."
"It's alright. Watching their interactions, I feel that Ping An is serious and has fallen for him."
Xiao Wu and the other two brothers also agreed with their older brothers' point of view.
What do your wives think?
"Everyone has a good impression of her."
"That's good. Ping An is our brother. We can't let women cause any rifts between us in the future."
This means that they have all accepted Hu Peizhen. Ping An already knew this; they grew up together and understand each other. Ping An was quite happy that his four older brothers had accepted Hu Peizhen.
The next day, Sunday, Ping An picked up Hu Peizhen. The two went to the new house and looked around. "Mom's idea is to clean up the house so that we can come back and stay for a few days from time to time."
“Ping An, I don’t think it’s necessary. I won’t be home during the day because I have to go to school and can only come home after school. On weekends, I also want to go home to visit my great-grandfather, so we simply don’t have time to live separately.”
Ping An shook her head. "Let's listen to Mom. We can just put the appliances here."
The two went to the compound for lunch. Now that he had a wife, he had to let the elders see her.
At noon today, only the women, elderly people, and children were left at home.
Last time, Hu Peizhen didn't see Ruiyang and the others, but this time she saw nine children, and she was so happy that she just kept circling around them.
"Ping An, this girl is good. Her great-grandfather and I have worked together before, and he's a good person." Zhang Xingguo still had a high opinion of Hu Jinlong.
Gu Chuanming nodded as well. "I read Hu Jinlong's report. He showed leniency outside the law. That old guy is quite shrewd. He was afraid you would have trouble handling it, so the report ended up with me."
"I know that. The old man wants to have a second child, and he wants one with the surname Hu. We'll have to wait for my dad to come back and make the decision."
“That’s normal, I understand Hu Jinlong.” Zhang Xingguo nodded.
After lunch, Ping An didn't stay and drove away with his reluctant girlfriend.
"Ping An, these nine children are so cute and beautiful! I love them so much, I wish I could take them home with me."
"Hehe, there are plenty of people who think that way, but you're not bad either, at least nine of them are willing to play with you."
Ping An drove straight home; he was going to have dinner at home tonight.
Grandma is all ready, and my third aunt's family is coming too.
It's Friday night. Ping An left work early today to pick up Cheng Guangxu from get off work.
After getting into the car, Cheng Guangxu smiled and looked at his son, saying, "You've grown up, it's time for you to settle down and start your own family."
Ping An looked at her father helplessly and said, "I'm already twenty-three."
"Yes, you're already twenty-three. Time flies."
"Dad, where are Uncle Cai and the others?"
"They haven't finished get off work yet, let's wait for them for a while. Your Aunt Wang Ying must be worried."
"Hehe, that's right. She and Aunt Lu just came back from Shanghai yesterday. They went to the school to intercept Zhiyu and Qingyang."
After waiting for about ten minutes, Cai Peilin and Zeng Zhongkang also came out.
Both of them smiled and congratulated Ping An as they got into the car.
It was almost eight o'clock when they got home, and their family was waiting for them to have dinner.
After exercising in the evening, Cheng Guangxu put his arm around his wife.
"Cheng Guangxu, the Hu family means that one of their children will have the surname Hu in the future."
"This request isn't too unreasonable. Let's not get involved and let the young couple discuss it themselves."
"But it was suggested by the elders of the Hu family. The two of us are going to the Hu family's house tomorrow."
“Okay, then let’s choose one with the surname Hu.” Cheng Guangxu really didn’t care too much about this.
"The elderly members of the Hu family submitted a report to higher authorities themselves, applying for a quota for Hu Peizhen to have a second child. Of course, the higher authorities approved it."
"Okay, let's go take a look tomorrow." Cheng Guangxu was very satisfied to finally have his wife in his arms.
The next morning, the three of them finished breakfast, prepared gifts, and then set off.
Upon arriving at the Hu family home, Guan Qiumei was very satisfied with Ping An's father, who exuded a scholarly air and had a clear and upright gaze.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, we went directly to the old man's house.
Hu Jinlong finally met his future in-laws.
Cheng Guangxu greeted him respectfully, showing utmost respect to such an old hero.
Hu Jinlong was even more satisfied. Only a family like this could raise a child like Ping An.
