Zhao Yilu, who was chewing a pig's trotter, couldn't stand it anymore when he heard what He Zhengxiang said, and said, "Grandpa, if I wasn't such a jerk, would I have been able to bring you such a good granddaughter-in-law? So, don't worry about big brother's affairs, we have to trust big brother!"
He Siyan gave Zhao Yilu a grateful look.
Then, he turned to look at He Zhengxiang, his tone was serious and firm: "Grandpa, I understand your concerns, and I know my identity and responsibilities. I will act cautiously and will not let any rumors affect Yuting's reputation. I will never do anything that will damage the reputation of our two families. Don't worry!"
Seeing this, Zhao Xubai also interrupted at the right time, with a gentle and soothing tone: "Yes, let's not worry too much about the affairs of young people. Si Yan has always been a worry-free child since he was a child. I believe he knows his limits. Moreover, I think the girl from the Xie family is also a good and sensible girl. They will know how to handle their relationship well.
We should arrange marriages for the two children as soon as possible and let them interact with each other as an engaged couple, so that we don’t have to worry about outsiders gossiping about them.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Didn't we tell the eldest grandson of the Xie family today? In a couple of days we will ask their family what they think and see if we can arrange the marriages of the two children in the first month of the year. Si Yan and Yi Lu both have good taste in choosing wives. Once Si Yan gets married, we will be completely relieved!" Sun Simin said in a gentle and calm tone.
Fan Hua listened with great interest and was secretly happy about the warm atmosphere of this family meeting.
He Zhengxiang listened to what everyone said, and his expression gradually eased. He sighed and said, "I am also anxious. If they were not still in school, I would have discussed with Old Xie to let the two children get married. In this way, maybe we can have another baby next year.
No, I'm going to call the Xie family and have a good chat with Old Xie's eldest son. We need to get the two kids engaged as soon as possible and get married right after graduation. We can't delay it any longer, otherwise the kids along the way will just be left out, and he, as the eldest brother, will be left too far behind!"
After He Zhengxiang finished speaking, he couldn't help but eat faster.
No one said anything else and just let Mr. He do it. After all, they were all very happy to see it and hoped that He Siyan and Xie Yuting could get engaged soon.
He Siyan secretly wiped the sweat from his palms. He had originally planned to get engaged to Xie Yuting as soon as he graduated, but he didn't expect the old man to be more anxious than him. So he just let him be. After all, the guy named Wu had not given up on Xie Yuting, and he had always felt uneasy.
After dinner, He Zhengxiang couldn't wait to call the Xie family and had a lively conversation with Xie Yuting's father Xie Minghui on the phone.
Xie Minghui also served in the army. He admired and respected He Zhengxiang, the commander-in-chief, and he always responded to He Zhengxiang's words enthusiastically.
After understanding the purpose of He Zhengxiang's call, Xie Minghui fell silent. He thought that this old man came to give him advice on his career, but it turned out that he came to help his eldest grandson to get his own cabbage!
But after a moment of silence, Xie Minghui nodded in agreement. After all, his father and daughter were willing, and even if he, as a father, was reluctant to marry his daughter off, he couldn't keep her. He might as well agree to it immediately. However, he would still have to be careful when He Siyan came to propose marriage in the future!
The two chatted on the phone for a while, and finally Mr. He made the final decision to hold an engagement banquet on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Since both children have not graduated yet, the engagement banquet will not be a big one. The two families can just have a meal together, and then hold a grand wedding ceremony and invite friends from all walks of life in Beijing to attend.
The matter was happily decided. In order not to miss the engagement party of He Siyan and Xie Yuting, Fan Hua decided to go to Ji City in advance, so that she could catch up with their engagement party after returning from Ji City.
…
After staying with the old man at home for a few more days, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the couple set off for Ji City, using the excuse that they wanted to go to Ji City to meet the comrades Zhao Yi Lu had met in Guicheng.
Fan Hua remembered that his father once told him that their hometown was Yuanshan Village, An County, Ji City. Later, he was admitted to a university in Wu City in the south and met his mother from the same province. The two of them fell in love and settled in Wu City and found a job after graduation.
Later, they brought the elderly from both sides to Wu City, and Fan Hua grew up in Wu City.
When Fan Hua was a child, she went back to her hometown in Ji City twice with her parents. When she was older, her grandparents moved to Wu City, and Fan Hua never came again. She didn't know if she could find someone successfully this time.
Fan Hua pushed Zhao Yilu onto the train with a nervous heart. No matter what, they would go and take a look first.
