To buy soda, one has to go to the Overseas Chinese Store. This is how Tang's father sends Tang Wan and the other three away.
All three of them left, leaving Father Tang and Grandma Bai alone to talk.
Even though they knew buying soda was an excuse, the three of them went anyway.
Even with a young man driving me, it still took more than an hour to go there and back.
When they came back, Tang's father and Grandma Bai had already discussed the marriage between Qin Zheng and Tang Wan, and were chatting in the living room.
Tang Wan and the others didn't know what the two of them were talking about.
However, when Tang Wan went to Tang's father's study to talk at night, she knew what Tang's father had said to Grandma Bai.
Tang's father called Tang Wan to the study alone, and Zheng Yi took out a small box.
Tang Wan watched her father stroking the box with some nostalgia.
"Grandma Bai is a very good person. Qin Zheng is also okay. You have good vision. You shouldn't be wronged if you marry him." This was the first time that Tang's father expressed his opinion of Qin Zheng in front of Tang Wan.
"I told Grandma Bai today. I also told Qin Zheng these words before. If there is a chance, I will let you come to Beijing." The reason why Tang's father did not ask Tang Wan was because he knew that Tang Wan would definitely want to come to Beijing if she had the chance.
"There will be a chance." Tang Wan nodded. She knew that this opportunity would come soon.
"Well, when I first told Qin Zheng about this, I wanted to test him. If he really wanted to go back to the village, I wouldn't force him. I was just afraid that he would act forced by his father-in-law's influence. Many people are like that. Qin Zheng was very honest. He didn't refuse and made it clear that he would go wherever you say from now on."
These words should have been said to Qin Zheng by Tang's father when he came last time.
"Grandma Bai is a very nice person..." Tang's father wanted to formally talk to Tang Wan about this matter, but he didn't want to say it halfway.
Tang Wan should also be aware that Grandma Bai is a very good person.
But suddenly faced with the matter of marrying his daughter, Tang's father felt a sense of melancholy for a moment.
He simply opened the box in his hand, and inside was a pair of lustrous jade bracelets that were obviously worth a fortune.
"This is a bracelet your mother left behind. She loved wearing it back then and said she'd leave one for each of you. Later, she couldn't wear it anymore, but she always said she'd keep it for you. Now that you're getting married, I'll give it to you on your mother's behalf."
Tang's father took out a bracelet from it, put the remaining one together with the box on the table, then took Tang Wan's hand and put the bracelet on her.
It fit perfectly on the white wrist, and a satisfied smile appeared on Tang's father's face.
"It fits very well. It looks as beautiful as when your mother wears it." Tang's father couldn't help but pull Tang Wan's arm and look at it carefully several times, as if he was recalling the past through this scene.
Tang's father looked at her for a long while, and finally let go of Tang Wan's arm: "You should keep this bracelet well. Although you can't wear it outside, it's a good souvenir for you to keep."
At first, Tang's father wanted to give Tang Wan some advice about getting married.
But from the moment he took out the bracelet, Tang's father's attention was diverted, and he couldn't even remember what to say.
"You won't be able to stay for a few days. Grandma Bai said that she will prepare to get married when she returns to Tang. If your brother and I can spare the time, we will go to Tang." Tang's father said the last word.
He couldn't let Tang Wan get married without the support of her family.
