Chapter 294: A Life in Chang'an
After sending the children out, Jiang's mother pondered for a moment and said, "Those three children have pitiful lives, and anyone who sees them will feel heartbroken. But the more such children are, the more sensitive they are. Can they really accept Xia Xia from the bottom of their hearts?
And now you have to accommodate them and get married under the pressure of public opinion. You are the biological father of the children, and our Xia Xia is the stepmother. How will you discipline them in the future?
In the future, when your children are born, go to school, work, get married and have children, you will also face many conflicts. Have you two thought about these seriously?
Love is between two people, but marriage is the union of two families."
Fang Yuan looked at An Zhixia and said with a smile, "I talked to the children last night, asked for their opinions, and explained the family situation clearly.
When I left Kyoto, Li Xi was sensible enough, but the two little girls didn't remember. I didn't expect that Li Xi was afraid that I wouldn't want them, so she told the two sisters about their life story, so that they would be well-behaved and sensible, and also prevent them from being coaxed away by their biological mother.
They like Xia Xia very much and look forward to calling Xia Xia "mom".
I told Xia Xia before that she only needs to do what she likes and not to accommodate the four of us. I married her to give her happiness, not to put a heavy burden on her shoulders.
We treat them as our own children, but they are also different from our own children. Human nature cannot stand the test. Rather than letting the children have a gap for the sake of interests in the future, it is better to make a clear distinction between gold and silver from the beginning. "
"It seems that you have thought through all aspects and made arrangements," Old Master Jiang nodded with satisfaction, "I hope you can keep your word and stay awake and vigilant at all times in the future, and don't let others take advantage of you."
Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.
Everyone in the room turned their eyes to An Zhixia.
Fang Yuan walked over step by step, knelt on one knee, took her hand, and his eyes as dark and deep as the night were stained with deep friendship, "Xia Xia, my life has always been a passive choice, but you are my salvation in the long years of struggle. Thank you for coming, your company and allowing me to get close, although I don't like to make promises, because if you haven't done something, no matter how much you say, it's empty.
But at this moment, I want to promise you a lifetime of peace, a lifetime of deep affection, a lifetime of joy and happiness, even if I have to give you everything I have.
Xia Xia, marry me! "
Thousands of words filled his chest but could not escape. He could only look at her, hold her, and use the surging pulse to express his inability to restrain himself and his determination and eagerness to accompany her for the rest of her life.
An Zhixia's fair little face was flushed with a light pink, and her lowered eyes sparkled with the most beautiful spring light. She remained silent for a full half minute in his uneasiness and nervousness.
"Okay," she nodded with a smile, "I believe fate will treat me well and send you to me from afar. Please give me more guidance in the rest of my life, Mr. Fang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yuan held her hand tightly. If the occasion did not allow it, he really wanted to hold her in his arms and savor whether this was a dream or reality.
Having passed the first level, they then went straight to the point.
No matter how anxious Fang Yuan was, the engagement had to wait until he returned from the Northeast after completing his mission. The Jiang family had known about this for a long time, and had found someone to pick a date. April 21st of the lunar calendar, which was May 23rd of the solar calendar, was suitable for engagement.
The wedding was scheduled for the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, which is the tenth day of the sixth lunar month. The tenth day represents a perfect couple, and the lunar calendar shows that it is a good day for marriage. Such a good day is rare, otherwise they would not be willing to marry off their newly adopted granddaughter.
He gave her a box of priceless treasures, a custom sports car, and several large houses.
The dowry, which was the most important and most likely to cause conflict, became the second most important issue for other families. Considering that the couple lived in a transport brigade building after marriage, they each followed the highest standards of the working class at that time. The rest was converted into cash, jewelry, gold, etc.
After briefly explaining the matter, the young couple was sent out for a walk to strengthen their relationship and to pick up their children along the way.
After they went out, Fang Yuan kept looking at her with his head tilted to the side.
"We just met last night, and now you don't recognize me?" An Zhixia was not as shameless as him. She led people to Li's house with her eyes and nose watching their heart.
"I can't see enough, and I really don't recognize you anymore," he said with a smile, "We just met our parents. Although we are not engaged yet, we can be considered a formal engaged couple."
"So the me before and the me now are not the same person?" She gave him a coquettish look.
"Silly girl," his fingers felt itchy, but he was worried about being outside, so he could only smile dimly and said, "I'll let you know someday that people of different identities have different rights and obligations."
An Zhixia couldn't help but think of something wrong, and blurted out: "We haven't got the marriage certificate yet, how much more can you do?" After saying that, she stomped her foot and walked quickly forward.
Fang Yuan chuckled, took a step forward with his long legs and quickly caught up with him, following him at a leisurely pace: "It seems that I have to work harder to exercise so that I can give you a satisfactory answer on our wedding night."
"Bah," she glared at him. When they were almost at the Li family's yard, An Zhixia asked, "Did you tell the children yesterday? Are they really willing for you to marry me? Although these little guys are young, they are quite thoughtful. They know their identities but haven't shown it much. It's really heartbreaking to say."
Fang Yuan glanced at her dimly and said, "I thought so too. I was just about to comfort them, but the three children said that they were actually very happy. They had an uncle who loved them and a beautiful and kind new aunt. In fact, they were no different from children with parents.
I am the pitiful uncle. I have lost all my relatives, and I have to spend four years taking care of three children before I find a fairy who is willing to accept the four of us."
An Zhixia couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "So in their eyes, you are just a pitiful person?" She stood on tiptoe and patted his head, "Good boy, pitiful person, I will love you from now on!"
Fang Yuan lowered his head slightly and stared at her with eyes that were a little green: "Sister? Oh, they call you sister, so you have to call me uncle?"
She hummed: "I will always be eighteen years old, is that not okay?"
"Okay, I'll treat you like my own daughter," he glanced at her and nodded.
The children built friendship boats very quickly. In just one or two hours, they had already formed a pile.
Li Hanqian saw them coming and raised his eyebrows: "You are getting more and more daring, girl. You are very popular outside. Your original version of a foreign romance drama is replayed three times a day?"
An Zhixia pulled Fang Yuan to sit down and ate the bananas. The bananas at that time were not as delicious as the later high-quality varieties. They tasted light and a little astringent.
