After entering the house, there was another round of greetings. Ye Jiaying helped Ye's mother pour tea for the guests and served snacks and fruits before getting down to business.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you today. I want to thank Jiaying for taking care of our An Yao. An Yao has her own ideas and insisted on coming to Beijing to study. We are far away and can't take care of her. If it weren't for Jiaying, An Yao's next life might be ruined..."
Ye Jiaying didn't dare tell her parents the truth, for fear that they would worry and that her identity would arouse suspicion.
Therefore, Deng Guangyan concealed the truth of the matter when he spoke, and only said that Ye Jiaying's help was very important to Zheng Anyao and their family.
Ye's father and mother only knew that Ye Jiaying said that if she hadn't held Zheng Anyao back, the child would have fallen off the cliff and been disfigured.
Looking at Zheng Anyao's pretty face, Ye's mother understood very well that if this face was ruined, wouldn't it be a ruined life for the girl?
Although I think what Deng Guangyan said is a bit exaggerated, some families may just value appearance.
Ye's father and mother did not doubt the truth that Ye Jiaying told.
Deng Guangyan expressed his gratitude and stated the purpose of his trip.
"Our family is very grateful to Jiaying. An Yao's mother also likes Jiaying very much. Our idea is to recognize him as a godparent and visit him more often during the New Year and other holidays. What do you think, brother and sister-in-law?"
Ye's father and mother looked at each other.
Ye Jiaying had hinted to them before, saying that he might want to adopt a godparent.
In Beijing, not everyone is willing to be recognized as a godchild.
Generally speaking, the idea of adopting a godparent is when the relationship between the two families is very good, or the child is too weak to be raised.
In their eyes, adopting someone as a godparent would take away her family's luck. If the relationship was not good, who would want an outsider to take away their luck?
"The two children have a good relationship. It's no problem for them to visit each other more often. Why not consider recognizing them as godparents?" Thinking that the other party might be being polite, Ye's father advised.
"Yes, sister, the two children have a good relationship. We welcome you to visit our village more often. You should seriously consider the matter of becoming godparents."
Ye's mother also said.
"Brother, sister-in-law, we have thought about it seriously and discussed it with the child's grandmother. In fact, we should have come to visit you a long time ago, but you were busy at that time, so we didn't come to disturb you. We are not impulsive. We have chosen a date. If brother and sister-in-law feel that there is anything wrong, we will discuss it again."
Mother Zheng understood what Mr. and Mrs. Ye meant. They were afraid that they were just acting on a whim and would regret it later, which would end badly.
She felt that both Ye's father and mother were rare sincere people. Although they lived in the countryside, neither of them was superficial.
"We need to discuss this matter with her grandparents." Seeing that they were determined, Ye's father did not try to persuade them anymore, otherwise they would think that their family was arrogant.
"Of course, of course. This is the day we favor. We have been in Beijing recently, so there is no need to rush." Deng Guangyan took out a piece of paper with an auspicious date written on it and handed it to Ye's father.
"Okay, you guys have worked hard all the way here, take a break."
Now that things have come to this, Father Ye decided to talk to his parents and give them a definite answer.
Leaving Ye's mother at home to accompany him, Ye's father went to Uncle Ye's house.
Zheng Anyao's family arrived early and talked for a while at home until around ten o'clock.
Ye Jiaying took a few people for a stroll in Yejia Village so that Ye's mother would have time to make lunch.
Nowadays, the best way to entertain guests is to cook a sumptuous meal at home.
The main reason is that there are no restaurants in Yejia Village where you can eat out.
During lunch, Ye’s grandparents came.
Although the Ye family has split up, the opinions of grandparents are still very important in such major matters.
At the dinner table, Ye Jiaying's grandmother implicitly conveyed the importance of adopting a godparent.
In the past, only when a child was dying or too weak would people consider adopting a person with a compatible horoscope or a noble destiny as a godparent.
This kind of thing is usually initiated by the godparents. As it is now, it is rare for the other party to take the initiative.
Of course, Mother Zheng understood what Grandma Ye meant, but she proposed to adopt Ye Jiaying as her godparent because she wanted to protect her.
Although their Zheng family's roots are in Hai City and Ye Jiaying's is in Jing City, this is not a big problem. They can just move the family's center of gravity to Jing City in the future.
Her family member An Yao is also in Beijing, so this is not a big deal.
"Aunt, An Yao is the only one in my family. I like Jia Ying, and he can be a companion for An Yao."
This means that Mother Zheng has no regrets, and Grandma Ye has nothing to say.
She asked for the birth dates of the Zheng family members and said she wanted to find someone to calculate them. The Ye family also wanted to set up a few tables and inform relatives and friends.
Naturally, Mother Zheng had no objection.
Ye Jiaying didn’t know who Grandma Ye asked. The old lady ate her meal and left in a hurry.
He came back more than an hour later with a very happy expression on his face. After talking to Mr. and Mrs. Ye privately, he told Mother Zheng that he agreed.
The auspicious day is calculated according to their method, which is the 20th day of the lunar year.
That is three days later.
The two families agreed on a formal date, and the Zheng family left a pile of gifts and said goodbye.
Just wait three days before officially recognizing each other as relatives.
Time quickly came to three days later.
The Ye family has also changed.
In the Ye family's yard, a temporary tent was set up with two large tables inside. Today's godparents' banquet would be held here.
The kitchen was filled with prepared chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetables, and several aunts from the village were busy in the kitchen.
Deng Guangyan and his family also arrived early and are now talking in the main room.
The auspicious time is 11:48 am. According to previous customs, people are required to kneel down and kowtow.
