The chat was nothing more than some trivial family matters. After all, the two families had known each other for many years, especially Nanbo, who often represented Director Nan to participate in the activities of the Ministry of Commerce. Father Shen liked Nanbo to begin with, so he naturally wouldn't bother him at this moment.
"I heard that your eldest brother is also engaged to Mayor Ying's daughter, right?" Father Shen asked
"Yes, it's settled, but we didn't have an engagement ceremony. My brother has just been transferred to a nearby base and doesn't have much vacation time, so we plan to hold the wedding this year."
"Can your brother be transferred back?" Shen's father asked. Isn't it difficult to apply for such a transfer in the army? Shen's father thought in his heart
"I got promoted, so I got special approval."
"You are quite capable, but your brother should really settle down. Otherwise, he will be on missions all the time." Father Shen was very surprised about Nanzhou's promotion. He remembered that Nanzhou's military rank was not low before, and it has not been long since he was promoted. It should be said that the genes of this Nan family are all excellent. Even Nanqiao, who went to the countryside, can become the town's translator with his own ability.
"It's more stable now. Now that I'm married, I won't be on long missions." The whole Nan family was glad that Nanzhou was transferred back. Although Nanzhou was promoted quickly, no one knew how worried they, his relatives, lived every day, fearing that a phone call or a knock on the door would bring some bad news about him.
Work is great, but people are selfish. They would rather Nanzhou live in mediocrity than sacrifice himself in a foreign country.
Nanbo had lunch at Shen's house. During this time, Shen's father and mother did not mention Nanbo and Shen Nian's affairs until after lunch in the afternoon, when Nanbo was playing chess with Shen's father. Shen's father then said, "Now it's just the two of us. As for your relationship with Nian Nian, your aunt and I have no objection. We have known each other for so many years, and I am relieved to leave Nian Nian to you. You two can discuss it yourselves. If you also plan to get married this year, then go back to Lao Nan and tell him when our two families can have a meal to decide. As for the engagement, I think it's fine to do the same as your eldest brother's. Nian Nian is now in the countryside, and it may not be easy for her to travel back and forth during this period."
"Okay, Uncle Shen, don't worry, I will take good care of Nian Nian. As for getting married, I want to get married earlier. If nothing else, I want Nian Nian to come back earlier." Nan Bo heard what Father Shen said, and the heart that had been in his heart for the whole morning was finally put back into his stomach.
"I'm worried about this too. She probably has a lot of paperwork to go through in the countryside."
Nan Bo said this, and then he calmed down and thought for a while, "Uncle Chen, I will go to your house with my parents and family members to arrange the marriage in the next few days. Qiaoqiao is pregnant, and I will go with her when I return to Qing City after the New Year. At that time, I will accompany Nian Nian to the village to get the certificate, and then return to Shanghai to get the marriage certificate first, and then arrange the wedding. This way, Nian Nian can come back earlier. What do you think?"
Father Shen lowered his brows in thought, and after a while he said, "I have no opinion. Does Nian Nian know about this?"
"I've talked to Nian Nian before, she listens to you two elders." Thinking of Shen Nian's shy look at that time, Nan Bo smiled gently.
"Then let's do it this way." Father Shen made the decision and settled the matter.
Therefore, in the days before the New Year, the Nan family not only posted couplets at home, but also cleaned up the house.
I was still busy buying gifts, giving gifts, visiting homes, and getting engaged. I didn't even realize my plan to take Taohua to the department store the next day. I just followed them around these days.
However, Taohua had no complaints about these. After all, no matter whose family it was, it was new to Taohua. She had met people in high positions, which also allowed her to see a lot of the world.
Taohua didn't mind, but Nanqiao felt a little uncomfortable.
She lay on the sofa and waved to Taohua who was walking towards her after taking off her coat. When Taohua took her hand and sat beside her, Nanqiao said, "I'm sorry, little Taohua. I've been busy at home lately and haven't been able to take you out to play. How about we go to the department store or the park together tomorrow?"
"It's okay, second sister-in-law, I had a lot of fun these days. I saw a lot of things I had never seen before, and I ate so many delicious foods. Sister Chen Nian and Sister Ying Xue also gave me gifts. Taohua is very happy." Taohua is very sensible, but what she said is not false. Although she is a little tired from running around these days, she is really happy.
"Then we should go out and have some fun tomorrow. After all, we are already in Shanghai, so why not go out and have some fun?"
"Let's wait until my second sister-in-law has had a good rest, then we'll go out. She's pregnant now, so she can't be too tired."
"Okay, let's wait until my second sister-in-law has had a good rest, and then we can go out and play together." Nanqiao did not insist. He had been running around for the past few days and had not been able to have a good rest. He was indeed a little tired.
"Go back to your room and rest for a while, there's nothing to prepare."
The Nan family is large and efficient, so although there are many things to prepare in the past few days, the New Year's goods have not been delayed. Nanqiao is guarding here now, which is of no use.
Nanqiao looked around and saw that there was nothing he could do, so he just listened to Sheng Yanchuan, said goodbye to everyone and went back to his room to rest.
This sleep lasted until the evening. When Nanqiao woke up, he was awakened by the smell of food.
In the dark room, the girl sniffed her delicate nose, smelling the aroma of rice in the air, and the next moment Nanqiao burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" A hoarse voice came from the room. Nanqiao then realized that Sheng Yanchuan was also resting in the room.
After lying in bed for a long time, Nanqiao crawled into Sheng Yanchuan's arms and said, "I suddenly feel like a little pig. I eat and sleep every day. Will I become a fat man by the time I give birth to a baby?"
