Through chatting with Sun Lili and observing the expressions and actions of Sun Lili and her daughter, Jiang Shushu can see that Sun Lili and her daughter have been well brought up, both of them are broad-minded and have positive outlooks.
Jiang Shushu likes Sun Lili very much, and with deliberate efforts, the atmosphere of the chat is getting better and better.
Jiang Shushu winked at Jiang He calmly, expressing his affirmation of Sun Lili and her daughter.
Jiang He saw that the dishes were almost ready, except for one green vegetable, so he called them to the kitchen and whispered, "Mingli, didn't Xiaosun's parents live nearby? Xiaosun is the only child they have, so why didn't they invite him to eat with them? He's in his thirties, how can he be so ignorant? Seeing that we are having such a good chat, anyone with a smart brain should know to strike while the iron is hot and invite Xiaosun's parents to chat and put both sides at ease." It would be better to meet the in-laws sooner rather than later. If all goes well, I will go back with Shushu tomorrow. I've only been out for one day, and I miss my wife and Huanhuan so much.
Jiang Mingli: "..." So everything I do is my fault? Blame me? Why am I so ignorant? I didn't call you because I was sensible. You guys are not familiar with each other. What if I call both parents over and you guys start to disagree and quarrel? How embarrassing it would be for everyone! I guess everyone is full at this time. Is it appropriate for me to call them?
"My plan is to let you meet Lili and her daughter first, and then meet my parents after you get to know them better. Dad is right. I'll go call Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun, and we'll chat together. Dad, can you help me stir-fry some vegetables?" Jiang Shushu handed the spatula to Jiang He.
Forget it, the atmosphere is so good, it’s okay to call him over to chat.
"Lili, I'm going to call Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun to come over and chat. Please come with me. I'm afraid they will feel embarrassed to come." I have to ask Lili what she thinks of her family first.
"Then little sister, I'll be back soon."
"Okay, Sister Lili, go ahead and we'll have dinner when you come back." Anyway, we had talked about what we needed to talk about.
After Jiang Mingli left the house, he asked quietly, "Lili, what do you think of my dad and my sister?"
Sun Lili smiled and began to praise him. "Very good, very good. Your uncle is gentle and humorous. Your younger sister is gentle, beautiful, and considerate. She's even more humorous. I really envy you for having such a younger sister. And your younger sister is so pretty, with great skin. Your uncle looks young too. If you hadn't told me your father was over 60, I wouldn't have recognized him. And your younger sister doesn't look like she's had a child at all..."
Jiang Mingli smiled but said nothing: "..." Jiang Shushu wasn't that polite or friendly to me. If I dared to jump on her head, she would probably give me a big beating without saying a word, so I would know why the flowers are so red. If Jiang Shushu hit me, my father might feel sorry for me, but that's all. As for Jiang Shushu, he would probably just say a few words to her for the sake of politeness. My family status is very worrying.
"My dad just said you're great. My dad and sister are so happy chatting with you, they must like you very much."
Sun Lili was delighted to hear her future father-in-law think so highly of her. "I like your family, too." The Jiang family is better off than me, and they don't mind at all. They don't look down on me for being a second marriage with a child. I'm lucky.
Jiang Mingli invited Sun's parents to dinner, but they didn't want to go at first. They thought it would be better to wait until Sun Lili got familiar with the Jiang family before going, because they didn't want to embarrass Sun Lili.
Sun Lili pulled her parents aside and told them what had just happened, and how friendly the Jiang father and daughter were, and how they treated their daughter Sun Hong equally, like their own child.
Sun's parents were very happy to hear this, and were full of gratitude to Jiang He and his daughter from the bottom of their hearts. Sun's parents did not refuse, changed into the cleanest and best clothes and went to Jiang Mingli's house together.
Here, after Jiang Mingli left, Jiang Shushu came to the kitchen and said, "Dad, it was you who asked my eldest brother to go to the Sun family and greet them."
"Yes, Xiao Sun is a good person, and I believe her parents are not bad either. Let's strike while the iron is hot and meet them all and get to know them better. I want to go back with you tomorrow. I miss your mother and Huanhuanle so much." It is still more comfortable to stay in Q City. Living in the city, there are new and old friends to chat with, play chess with, and practice Tai Chi with... I can also go back to Jiangjia Village for two or three days a month to chat with relatives, tidy up my own vegetable garden and fruit trees, and exercise. What wonderful days, what a wonderful life.
"Okay, then you will be responsible for chatting later, and I will help you. After all, you are the elders, and you have common topics to talk about." I am a married sister-in-law, so I should stay out of her business. I just want to chat quietly for a few minutes to liven up the atmosphere.
"OK."
After Jiang He brought the dishes to the table and set the table, Jiang Mingli brought the three people from the Sun family back.
Everyone got along in a friendly manner, and the meal was a great pleasure for all the guests. Of course, the ones who enjoyed the most conversation were Jiang He and the Sun family's parents. Either Jiang He praised Sun Lili and her daughter, or the Sun family's parents praised Jiang Mingli, his son, and Jiang Shushu.
Then the parents of both sides became happier and happier as they talked, their relationship became better and better, and they became more and more satisfied with each other. Finally, they talked directly about engagement. Sun's parents asked Jiang He to go back and choose a good day, and they would choose the one that was closest to them to get engaged.
Jiang Mingli: "..." How could this be so efficient? From the time I came back until now, it's been less than two hours, and it's already done. We're already engaged? I never thought in my life that talking about marriage could be so fast. Thinking back to the past... Forget it, forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore.
Sun Lili didn't expect it to happen so soon, but she felt sweet in her heart. Sun Lili also hoped to get married soon.
Jiang Shushu: "..." The man has feelings, and the woman is interested, so the speed is fast.
Jiang He happily sent the four members of the Sun family away before turning around and going back to the house.
Jiang Mingli didn't need anyone to tell him to; he automatically cleared the dishes and washed them, because he didn't dare to order either of the two giant Buddhas, Jiang He or Jiang Shushu, around. As for the two younger ones, they were chatting with their aunt and couldn't be ordered around either. After all the thinking and calculation, he was the most suitable person to do the dishes.
Jiang Mingli came back after washing the dishes, and Jiang He said, "This little Sun is good. He married someone else. Be nice to her. Just like Xiao Sun treats your child well, you should also treat her child well. We are a family, so we should treat each other's children with empathy."
"Dad, I understand. Don't worry, since I have decided to get married, I will definitely treat them as family." I married my wife to live a good life. Lili is sincere to us, and I will definitely treat them well. If there is chaos after marriage, I might as well not get married at all to save trouble.
"I'm relieved that you think this way. I'll go back with your sister tomorrow. Your sister still has to go to work. I'll ask someone to find a good day and then write to tell you. You can handle the engagement by yourself (engagement doesn't cost much, usually a few dollars, or more than ten dollars for a good one). We'll discuss the marriage later. You can decide on the engagement, but find a chance to discuss the wedding gift with Xiao Sun, and then notify me and your mother." I'll help as much as I can when the time comes.
