Chapter 129: Impatient
Tian Xiang's boyfriend, who came from a poor family, suddenly became unattainable.
Everyone was confused when they arrived.
It was the first time for everyone to sit at the same table and have a meal with such a high-ranking leader. Except for Hu Honglian who had already relaxed, the others inevitably felt restrained.
There's nothing we can do. There are guards standing outside, and they're armed with guns.
How can I not be nervous!
But when the dishes and wine were all served, the old man greeted everyone, "We are family, don't be polite! Eat, eat, eat, and add more if it's not enough."
Seeing that the old man's attitude was quite generous, everyone gradually relaxed.
During the meal, everyone was talking about the two children, after all, the old man's affairs were not allowed to be discussed.
The old man also mentioned Meng Chengan's father and his two aunts who were living outside.
In the past, when Tian Xiang heard Meng Cheng'an say that his father was in Beijing and couldn't come back, she thought he was locked up. But in fact, his father was unexpectedly a scientific researcher. Although he was restricted due to family reasons, he was still working and was not locked up.
Both of my aunts are very capable people abroad. One is a professor and the other is a great painter. They are currently going through the procedures to return to China and are preparing to come back to see grandpa.
Now that the old man is fine, the children can come back.
After talking about the basic family situation, the old man chuckled and said that the two children have been dating for three months and are now officially at the doorstep. They will discuss the gift and other things to get engaged. When will they get married next?
Old Master Meng was very anxious. He only had one precious grandson, Meng Chengan. He wanted all these important things to be done as soon as possible so that he could become a great-grandfather sooner.
When talking about this, Tian Xiang felt a little embarrassed and her face turned red.
Meng Cheng'an was sitting next to her. He was very happy and wanted to pull her with his hand under the table.
Tian Xiang shook off his claws and said, "There are so many people here, please behave yourself."
As for her daughter's marriage, Hu Honglian said: "Xiangxiang is only 19 years old and has only been working for half a year. The two children are still young, so let them enjoy their youth. It's not too late to talk about marriage later."
To be honest, today's dinner was a forced one.
The Meng family was fine, and she was very happy. After all, the two children could be together.
But suddenly the disparity in status between the two families became too exaggerated, one was as far away as the other, and she had other concerns. After comprehensive consideration, she decided to let the two of them spend more time together before talking about marriage.
Marriage is a union of two families, and all aspects need to be considered, not just about the two people being attracted to each other.
Old Master Meng understood what Hu Honglian meant. He wanted his grandson to get married sooner, but this also required the consent of the girl.
The old man responded with an "oh oh oh", but he glanced at his grandson to see his opinion.
Hearing that they would have to wait to get married, the smile on Meng Chengan's face dropped visibly.
This kid is so anxious, he's afraid that his wife will run away.
The old man laughed and said to put the marriage aside for now and talk about the betrothal gifts first. He would prepare to send them over first, and it would depend on the young people's wishes as to when to get married.
Once the gift is given, it is considered a done deal and cannot be refunded unless there are special circumstances.
Well...
Hu Honglian was still a little hesitant.
The old man coughed lightly and said that he would be returning to Beijing in about half a month. He had work to do and could not stay here for too long.
The old man will be staying there for a long time from now on.
So that's it.
Hu Honglian asked worriedly, "Will Cheng'an go back there with you in the future?"
Hu Honglian has only this one precious daughter, and she doesn't want her to be too far away from her parents' home.
The old man shook his head. "It doesn't matter. It's up to the young people themselves. I don't mind. Besides, I'm already past retirement age. I'll only be busy for a few years, and then I can retire."
So the old man really doesn’t care.
Well, Hu Honglian breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man laughed and asked Tian Xiang, "Do you want to go to college? Grandpa wants two places for you and Cheng An so that you can experience college life?"
After asking Tian Xiang, the old man turned his head and asked Tian Chenhui, "You are working in a barber shop. The work there is too boring. Why don't you change places? Where do you want to go? Just tell grandpa directly."
The old man then asked Tian Xiang’s two cousins why they were still temporary workers after working for so long, which was not normal. He needed to understand the matter.
And Tian Xiang’s older cousin has been working for such a long time but is still an ordinary worker and has not been promoted. The factory is really unfair to him.
The old man made a lot of noise, which scared everyone.
Finally, he turned to Tian the guard sitting next to him. The lumber mill where his in-laws worked was so far away that it would be inconvenient to commute, so he might as well take a job nearby and wait for retirement.
Oh, and Tian Xiang’s elder brother who went to the countryside has married and had children. He can’t stay in the countryside all the time. Don’t you want grandchildren?
The house issue doesn’t matter. Xiangxiang has been working for so long that she is eligible for a separate house.
Tian Xiang has only been working for half a year, so how can she be eligible for housing? People who have been working for five or six years still have to queue up.
But if the old man says it is possible, then it is possible.
Everyone was stunned. What was the old man doing?
Fortunately, Jiang Qin was gone when we came to eat, and everyone in the house was ours, so no one heard what happened, otherwise it would be abuse of public power for personal gain!
The old man asked everyone not to worry.
He has suffered so much over the years, who would dare to gossip about these small requests?
Everyone blinked and laughed. Then Tian Xiang's grandmother Xu Jiafeng advised Hu Honglian that it was not easy for the old man to come back, so they could take their time choosing the wedding date and have the gift first.
Tian Xiang’s three cousins-in-law also nodded, yes, yes, that’s right.
After all, everyone knows about the two of them now, and they will get married sooner or later, so they might as well just settle it and save those people from gossiping.
Finally, even Guard Tian nodded and said, why not pay your respects first.
Hu Honglian finally understood that the old man was trying to get people to speak well of him.
Hu Honglian looked at her daughter.
Tian Xiang's mouth twitched, "Why don't you go through first."
She was also feeling uncomfortable. Meng Cheng'an always looked at her pitifully. The wound on his face had not healed completely, and he had just been discharged from the hospital, looking thin and pale. He looked so pitiful.
Tian Xiang thought, the black label on this person is gone, but the word "villain" is still there, how can she not keep an eye on it.
Forget it, just settle it. She has never thought about being with anyone else anyway.
Everyone supported giving the gift first, and Hu Honglian also agreed.
As for the bride price, the four major items are definitely required, and then the bride price is 288.
Her requirement is neither high nor low, and most people around her have this requirement.
This is the woman’s requirement, nothing less will do. As for whether to add it or not, it depends on whether the man values the woman enough.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Okay," he would prepare immediately and the gift would be presented in three days.
Hu Honglian was speechless for a moment and quickly asked the old man to stop, saying that three days was not enough.
The gift-giving ceremony is such a big deal, so the woman's side needs time to prepare, and she will have to make two sets of clothes for Meng Cheng'an.
Ah, there is such a rule?
The old man didn't understand either and thought that the man just needed to carry the things over.
Okay, okay, I’ll follow the arrangements made by my in-laws.
