Zhang Weiyu smiled, "Okay, let's give it a try first. I'll give you six months to think it over and try to accept it. After I come back, we'll have a chance to spend some time together."
"Yes, I should have been admitted to university by then."
"Yes, I advise you to study hard. I hope you can get into a university you like, so you won't be bored in the future."
"My grandfather set my sights on the Capital University."
"Hehe, that's to be expected. If you really can't pass the exam because you're not smart enough, then it's not a bad thing. But if you can't pass because you're lazy, then it's really hard to say, don't you think?"
Qin Shuang pouted helplessly. "I understand, I will try my best."
Zhang Weiyu, you're so beautiful, don't any girls pursue you?
"Qin Shuang, don't say boys are handsome, especially don't describe me like that. I think it's an insult to me."
"Why? You're just as pretty as Zhang Hongmei!"
Zhang Weiyu squinted. This girl was doing it on purpose, she thought to herself, secretly amused. Was she making fun of her?
Their conversation that followed was much more interesting, with Qin Shuang asking questions and Zhang Weiyu answering.
Comparatively speaking, Zhang Ruifeng and Tang Feiyan are much better off. They both have feelings for each other, and compared to Zhang Weiyu and Qin Shuang, they are just normal people.
"Tang Feiyan, you don't need to be nervous."
"I'm not nervous, really not nervous." Tang Feiyan blushed and sat down opposite Zhang Ruifeng.
"Well, I think you know that this is a blind date. I like you. What about you? What do you think of me?"
"I also have feelings for you; I think you're so beautiful."
"In that case, let's try to get along."
"Okay, let me introduce myself first."
My name is Tang Feiyan, and I'm sixteen years old. My birthday is the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. I'm currently a senior in high school, and my grades are pretty good. My goal is to get into a university in the capital, but I don't know if I'll be able to.
I like everything, but I'm not very good at anything. My best skill is probably cooking. I have two younger brothers, one in eighth grade and the other in fifth grade. My family also includes my grandparents, parents, my second uncle's family, and two aunts.
As the young girl poured out her story like beans from a bamboo tube, Zhang Ruifeng felt that he should do the same.
"My name is Zhang Ruifeng. I am eighteen years old this year. My birthday is September 3rd. You have met all my family members. I also have a godfather's family in the United States, as well as my grandparents, older sister, and older brother."
There are also many brothers, all children of our mother's relatives. There are twenty-three of us in total.
We're a big family. You'll see that in the future.
Wow! You have so many brothers! Did you all grow up together?
"More or less. After we turned five, we only saw each other a few times a year. But we all had a very good relationship. Only our eldest brother didn't grow up in my house. The rest of us studied at my house."
"That's great, you have so many playmates, I'm so envious of you guys."
"Yes, our house is very lively."
The two then began to talk about their hobbies. They got more and more into the conversation, as if they had endless things to say.
It wasn't until the nanny came to call them for lunch that the two realized more than two hours had passed. Both of them felt that the meal was still not finished.
Let's just have the eight young people sit at one table for lunch, that way they can understand each other better.
After that, the remaining men and women sat at separate tables. Since it was all women, there was a lot more to talk about. And both sides wanted to leave a good impression on each other, so they tried their best to please each other, making the atmosphere at the dinner table particularly pleasant.
Hu Aifen was the happiest, and Wei Yu did not object.
How could she not know Weiyu's personality? The couple was worried about this just yesterday, afraid Weiyu wouldn't agree or wouldn't like it. Unexpectedly, nothing like that happened. Perhaps Grandma was protecting him from heaven?
The men were much more direct at the dinner table. None of them were heavy drinkers; they just shared a small glass with the elders, about half an ounce of liquor. But the atmosphere was great.
Liu Jingze just sat there smiling, always managing to ask the girl questions without her even realizing it.
Zhang Shouyi was dissatisfied, but he felt uncomfortable talking to others, so he didn't say anything more.
After dinner, the women left the living room to the men and went to Zhang Hong's study. There was a living room there, and everyone felt comfortable there.
"Gentlemen, since the children have no objections, how about we arrange their engagements together with the eldest and fourth sons?"
Both of them were willing. If they got engaged, there would be even more guarantees, which would be the biggest guarantee for the woman.
"Madam, of course we are willing. We are not afraid of you laughing at us. This is the greatest guarantee for my Qin Shuang. To put it bluntly, even if the boys want to back out in the future, it won't be easy for them to say it."
"Hehe, Madam Qin, I hope we can continue like this in the future, speaking our minds directly about anything that comes up."
Sister-in-law Qin, an engagement is a constraint on the children, letting them know from the bottom of their hearts that they have a partner, and instilling in them a sense of responsibility.
"Thank you so much, Madam. If we were to become husband and wife, we would be honored. If we were to become engaged, we would be of the same blood and spirit."
"Yes, Sister-in-law Tang is right. That's it, we're family from now on."
"In that case, let the children come again tomorrow. I'm not a picky person, but before the children get engaged, I still need to have someone check the girl's health. We can address any problems in advance, and I hope you can understand."
"Of course, there are physical examinations for marriage nowadays. The doctor you found must be an expert, it would be good for my Qin Shuang to take a look."
Although we have a physical exam every year, we still feel more at ease having a specialist take a look.
“Madam, our family has no objection. We are confident that we can get it checked out. Just like you said, if there are any minor problems, we can take care of them in advance. If there are any major problems, we won’t be unhappy after we get married.”
Zhang Hongmei smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, ladies. This is exactly what I just thought of. You are both open-minded people."
At 3 PM, both families said goodbye and went home. They needed to make preparations; the engagement was in a few days, and everything had been agreed upon. There wouldn't be a big celebration; it would just be a small gathering for both families.
Qin Yanqing, the patriarch of the Qin family, couldn't stop smiling. He went home and told his wife, "The Zhang family's sincerity is truly remarkable."
Grandma Qin was quite satisfied. "It's good that we're engaged. After the engagement, Qin Shuang will call the boss and his wife 'Mom and Dad' directly. That way, we won't have to worry about our daughter being dumped."
