"We'll go out at eight o'clock to catch the bus. I asked around yesterday, and there are no buses there, but it's only one stop away."
After finishing her meal, Zou Haiyin helped her mother clean up before leisurely returning to her study. She took out the unfinished portrait of Xiao Qi and finished it, planning to take it to the two of them today.
Yang Yongjian, who was restless and couldn't stand still, said, "Grandpa, please sit down for a while. Your swaying is making me dizzy."
"It's still early, can't we arrive at nine o'clock?"
"Yeah, I'm just anxious. Why is time passing so slowly?"
Yang Lijun: She really wants to get married!
Helplessly, she stood up and sat down with her grandfather's hand.
"Grandpa, I feel like you're disgusted with me, like you're in a hurry to marry me off."
“Lijun, you have to seize opportunities in life. Think about it, you will eventually get married. If you marry into a good family, I will have less to worry about.”
"Grandpa, you're overthinking it. We don't even know if Zhang Zhenye would be interested in me."
Also, Grandpa, if we really get together, I'm afraid Dad will start having ulterior motives again.
"Lijun, this is also why I want you to marry into the Zhang family."
If it really happens, your dad won't dare.
If it were just an ordinary family, and he really caused trouble later, you really wouldn't be able to do anything about it. But the Zhang family is different.
"Grandpa, my father may not have the guts, but his family might."
Grandpa, have you ever thought about what my dad's daughter, who's a year younger than me, will think after you found me such a wonderful husband's family?
"Hmph! A bunch of disgusting people. Anyone who takes a liking to her is unlucky." Yang Yongjian really loathed the mother and daughter; they were both frivolous.
"Alright, Grandpa, don't be angry. I was just afraid they would come looking for you if they found out."
“If they really dare to come, I’m not afraid. I happen to have some things on hand, so I’ll let others see them.” Yang Yongjian learned about the events of so many years after reuniting with his eldest granddaughter, which is why he had someone investigate.
Seeing that the old man was no longer anxious, Yang Lijun felt relieved. It's best to take it easy. Even if the Zhang family is good, it's all for naught if the two people aren't meant to be.
"Lijun, I have prepared a house for you. Although it is just a two-courtyard house, I have already had it renovated and will leave it for you as your dowry."
“Grandpa, we don’t need to do this. Our family isn’t wealthy, and they know our situation. There’s no need for this. You should save your retirement money.”
"You don't need to worry about retirement. I've been able to buy a house all these years. Why are you worrying about this at such a young age?"
The father and son sat in the living room, and Yang Yongjian gave many more instructions, all about the Zhang family.
Although he didn't know much, living in the same compound and spending a lot of time with Zhang Xingguo, he knew quite a bit about their family affairs.
It was already 8:30, and the father and son set off in the car.
The kitchen is the busiest place in Fuzeyuan, while the other masters go about their business.
The three younger children were summoned to the study by Zhang Zhenye and his three friends to be tested on their studies.
They weren't intimidated by these questions at all, as they all possessed photographic memories. Therefore, this test posed no challenge for them.
“The three of you will be nine years old soon. After we leave, I hope you can help your mother. Every Saturday and Sunday, you will start working on the company's accounts.”
"Big brother, no problem. The three of us have divided the work. Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Xiao Wu patted his chest and assured him.
"Hehe, you've really grown up." Zhang Zhenye was quite pleased.
Liu Jingze arrived with Liu Aimin and his wife, and the seven of them went over immediately.
Zhenye and the other three had genuine feelings for Hu Aifen; they had watched her grow up since she was a child.
"Grandma, why didn't you come yesterday?"
"Isn't that why we came over today? We just wanted to see what your two future wives are like?"
Zhang Zhenye smiled politely, "Grandma, if you don't like the girl, then forget it, we'll listen to you."
Hu Aifen was overjoyed by the flattery. Zhang Hongmei laughed to herself, thinking how these young men had become so eager to find wives for themselves.
Liu Jingze sat to one side and pulled Zhang Weiyu to sit next to him.
"Weiyu, I specifically asked around about Qin Shuang."
"Godfather, what do you think? This girl was chosen by you."
"They come from a family of scholars, and this girl is exceptionally intelligent. She's always gentle and kind. I found someone who used to work for the Qin family and asked them about her."
This girl learns almost anything quickly, is talented in various arts, and most importantly, she takes great care of her younger siblings.
"Hehe, is this a good idea? Sure, we'll be able to see it tomorrow or the day after anyway."
"However, Godfather, Qin Shuang is two years younger than me. She's not in university yet, is she? Won't this affect her studies?"
Liu Jingze smiled and patted Zhang Weiyu on the shoulder, "You're overthinking it."
Ruifeng and Tang Feiyan have a particularly good reputation; the girl is quite lively. Their former neighbor was my colleague, and he spoke highly of her.
"Uncle, I have no objections. If you all say it's good, then it really is good." Zhang Ruifeng genuinely didn't have any concept of his future wife. He just agreed because his family agreed.
"Hehe, that won't do. Let me tell you, you're going to be together for a lifetime, supporting each other for the rest of your lives. So you must find someone who is right for you."
"Uncle, how can you know if we're compatible after only a few meetings?"
"We can analyze it. Do you think we should choose from daughters of aristocratic families?"
Your family doesn't need any further embellishment now.
We believe that families like this are capable of raising outstanding girls. If we were to find you a girl from an ordinary family, you wouldn't have anything in common.
“Uncle, we know you mean well. But it doesn’t mean that all ordinary people are bad, or that all daughters of noble families are excellent. I hate spoiled girls the most. In the past, I would have preferred to find a country girl who couldn’t read a single word.”
"Hehe, Ruifeng, your idea is also correct. Of course, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather finding girls from ordinary families might make them infatuated. We will respect your opinion."
Zhang Ruifeng recalled being surrounded by a group of women and girls in Liujiatun the day before yesterday. Yes, their thinking was really not commendable. There would really be no common language between them in the future. He was afraid that no matter what he said to them, they would not understand.
My uncle is right, but we can't generalize.
