658: It is better to get married early
“Yo!!!”
There was an uproar in the pavilion.
The group of old men who were originally playing chess seriously all raised their heads and looked at Yu Xiaoye next to Zhuang Huaijian.
Even the women looked at Yu Xiaoye curiously.
"Hey, when did Hengzi get a girlfriend?"
"Did you bring all this back?"
"Is Hengzi back too?"
…
Everyone was gossiping and talking at the same time, and no one cared about playing chess.
Zhuang Huaijian stopped and said with a smile:
"The Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation is holding a meeting these days. Hengzi came to attend the meeting and brought his girlfriend along. Xiaoye, this is your Uncle Wang, Uncle Sun, Uncle Liu, Uncle Li, and Aunt Zhang—"
Yu Xiaoye looked at a group of old men and women, none of whom he knew, and called out dizzily:
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Sun, Uncle Liu, Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang—"
Everyone kept staring at Yu Xiaoye:
"Lao Zhuang, I'm serious. Is this really your daughter-in-law?!"
Zhuang Huaijian said proudly:
"You can joke about other things, but how can you joke about this?"
Everyone was a little hesitant to believe it at first, but after hearing Zhuang Huaijian's statement so confidently, they all believed it. They put down their work and gathered around to see what was happening.
——The curiosity of these old men and women in the compound is almost no different in essence from that of the old men and women living by the wall at the village entrance.
Who in the hospital doesn't know about the relationship between Zhou Ziheng, You Wenyue and Jia Zan?
Not only did they know about the relationship between the three of them, some of them had also heard that Zhou Ziheng was seriously injured. However, this matter was never discussed publicly and was only discussed privately by three or two people as a secret.
After a while, it became an open secret.
Now I heard that Zhou Ziheng brought home a girlfriend who is so young and beautiful. Judging from her age, she can be the granddaughter of the Zhou family old couple - if the eldest son of the Zhou family had not passed away and successfully married and had children, the old couple's granddaughter would probably be about this age.
A group of men, women, young and old surrounded Zhuang Huaijian and Yu Xiaoye, staring at Yu Xiaoye as if they saw a big monkey on the street.
Yu Xiaoye gave an awkward yet polite smile.
"This girl doesn't look very old, is she twenty years old?"
"Where are you from, girl? Are you an educated youth sent to the countryside in the Great Northern Wilderness? Where is your family?"
"I guess she's quite a bit younger than Hengzi. Is it popular these days for old men to marry young women?"
A group of people asked questions at once, and Yu Xiaoye didn't know which one to answer. He simply didn't answer and just kept smiling.
Zhuang Huaijian finished showing off his daughter-in-law and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll sit down and chat with you some other time. It's getting late, and I have to take the girl out. See you later!"
"See you later!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left arm in arm again.
Everyone gathered together and looked at the backs of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as they left, and began to murmur again. They were nothing but surprised and couldn't believe it. It was a little sudden, but it didn't look fake.
Many children in the compound are serving in military units in other places, and many of them do not return home for years. It is not uncommon for them to suddenly bring back a partner when they come back to visit their relatives.
However, Zhou Ziheng's case was somewhat unusual. Firstly, it was because of Zhou Ziheng's injury. Secondly, the Zhou family was of high status, and everyone subconsciously felt that the only family that could be worthy of the Zhou family was probably the You family.
Because the two families are close and their children are about the same age, everyone has always regarded Zhou Ziheng and You Wenyue as a perfect match.
Before You Wenyue married Jia Zan, people in the compound felt sorry for her.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, Zhou Ziheng suddenly brought back a girlfriend from another country, so everyone began to speculate about the background of this girl.
Judging from Zhuang Huaijian's smiling face, he was obviously very satisfied with this girl. Maybe this girl had some background.
Otherwise, how could Hengzi like her?
Everyone was talking about it, and within a day, the whole compound knew that Zhou Ziheng had brought a young and beautiful girlfriend from the Great Northern Wilderness.
-----
Zhuang Huaijian introduced his future daughter-in-law to the people in the compound in a very high-profile manner. He did not intend to show off, but he felt that since there was a happy event in the family, he could not help but share it with others and let the men and women in the compound know that our Zhou family has a daughter-in-law, and that the daughter-in-law is a smart and beautiful girl.
Anyway, the people in the You family already knew that Zhou Ziheng brought his girlfriend back, so there was nothing to hide. It was better to make it public.
After Yu Xiaoye appeared in the compound for the first time, he followed Zhuang Huaijian to the bus stop, got on the bus, and headed towards the Construction Bureau.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted all the way and got along better and better.
Zhuang Huaijian naturally asked the question of when they would get married.
Speaking of this, Yu Xiaoye was a little speechless:
"My parents don't want me to get married so early, and I'm not mentally prepared."
"But since you two are already together, it's better to get married sooner rather than later. Otherwise, if you get pregnant accidentally, it will be bad for your reputation."
"We are very careful, no, we won't get pregnant."
Zhuang Huaijian said meaningfully:
"That's hard to say."
Yu Xiaoye was so frightened that he dared not open his mouth again.
I’m afraid that my future mother-in-law will take the opportunity to urge me to get married and have children.
She can accept being urged to get married - what the hell is this about being urged to have children?
Although the old lady is an intellectual, sensible and cultured, when she takes off this outer shell, she is still an elderly lady, and her traditional desire to have grandchildren is unlikely to change.
Yu Xiaoye suddenly felt stressed when he thought about someone staring at his belly.
I was so scared that I dared not say a word.
Seeing that Yu Xiaoye was deliberately avoiding the topic and was obviously not in a hurry to get married and have children, Zhuang Huaijian did not continue talking. Instead, she changed to a lighter topic and told her about the interesting things that happened when her son was a child. The atmosphere then became lively again.
The two were talking
After getting off the bus and walking for a while, I finally arrived at the Construction Bureau.
The yard of the Construction Bureau looks very grand. There is a three-story building in front and a family compound behind the building.
Zhuang Huaijian accompanied Yu Xiaoye into the courtyard, where there was a flower bed.
Zhuang Huaijian walked to the flower bed and stopped:
"Okay, I won't go in. I'll sit here and rest for a while. You go find your colleague."
Yu Xiaoye knew that her future mother-in-law was unwilling to interfere with her meeting friends and had great trust in her. On the one hand, she was grateful for her future mother-in-law's open-mindedness, but on the other hand, she couldn't bear to leave the old lady here alone, so she said:
"Aunt, it's okay, please come in with me."
Zhuang Huaijian had already sat down by the flower bed and waved his hand:
"You kids are meeting each other, and I, an old lady, am not going to be around. It's okay, I'll wait for you. If you can ask your friend to come out, we can go out and sit together. Go ahead."
Yu Xiaoye did not force it and said with a smile:
"Auntie, I'm going to go now. Please don't run around. I won't be able to find you when I come out later."
"Don't worry, you won't lose me in the capital."
Yu Xiaoye bent down and hugged the old lady, then turned and entered the Construction Bureau office building.
Zhuang Huaijian sat alone by the flower bed, waiting willingly.
