Chapter 324 The Scenery
An Zhixia and An Zhiqiu both stood beside Fang Hongye and whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to their nonsense. City people and country people just have different household registrations. You are a high school student now. You have learned a lot and don't have to worry about others making things difficult for you. Just scold them back with confidence."
An Zhiqiu also said: "Wife, our whole family recognizes you, don't let these outsiders make you feel wronged and uncomfortable. We live our own lives, and we have to experience the ups and downs ourselves.
After you give birth to the child and take care of yourself, you can continue your studies or come out to work with us at the TV station. If we work together without relying on our family, we will definitely be able to fight for a good life. "
Fang Hongye smiled and said, "I'm not as fragile as you think. Since I've decided to marry you, I'm ready to be criticized from head to toe. The difference is that I can go to high school and work with you after graduation. Except for my poor background, I won't embarrass you in other ways.
So I am very confident and not afraid at all."
The brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief, just as Fang Yuan arrived with three children and three elderly people.
"Brother Yang, Brother Qi, Sister Qi, welcome, welcome," Grandpa Jiang stood up and hurried forward to greet them.
Old Lady Jiang also smiled and took Old Lady Qi's arm, "What a rare guest! I wonder what brought you here?"
Old Madam Qi smiled and pointed at Fang Yuan and said, "Of course it was this spring breeze that invited us old guys to come here to act as matchmakers."
The two old men both wore their military uniforms, which were covered with dazzling medals. Even though their hair was gray, they stood straight, still with the spirit of fighting for the country when they were young. They said in a loud voice: "Yuanzi's family has no elders, and we don't want to wrong Xia girl, so we let a few of us come to support the occasion. How about it, I didn't let you down, did I?"
"No, no," Mrs. Jiang nodded happily, and squinted at her sister-in-law and said, "You are the great contributors to the founding of Xiahua. Even the big leaders are very willing to ask you to be the matchmaker."
The relatives were all envious and jealous, but then they thought, the man’s family has no elderly people to support them, so how could asking for help from outside be as capable as their own elderly people?
Besides, no matter how capable An Zhixia is, if she finds a man who is not as good as herself, she will definitely not be happy in the future with the daughter being stronger than the son.
Aunt Jiang couldn't help but straighten her back slightly, and looked at the three children like other relatives. She saw that they looked like Fang Yuan, with gossip in their eyes, and they were so excited that they trembled all over when they looked at each other.
But when they looked at the tall and strong young man carrying something behind them, it was hard to say that he was big and strong. He was tall and handsome, with cold eyebrows, a hanging nose and thin lips. He was wearing a thin Zhongshan suit. Even with the scar on his brow, people were shocked by his aura. He actually had a kind of heroic spirit of the warlords of the past.
He walked forward respectfully, bowed and greeted Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, then handed the things in his hand to An Zhiqiu.
The little ones followed suit and called out to everyone they knew one by one.
"Boss, is Zhixia going to be someone's stepmother?" Old Lady Niu couldn't help but ask with a gloating look, "Comrade Fang Yuan is really capable."
Without waiting for the adults to speak, Fang Gexin raised her little head and said solemnly, "Hello, grandma. My brother, sister and I are not my father's children. To be precise, my father is our uncle. When Aunt Zhixia marries my father in the future, we will call her mother.
We have all grown up, are very obedient and sensible, and don't need mother to worry too much about taking care of us. We can also help her with work and looking after the children. Mother has three caring and sensible children with great futures. Isn't this a change in happiness?"
"That's right, Aunt Niu. These three kids are so smart and well-behaved that we can't take enough of their love." Old Mrs. Jiang stepped forward to protect the kids. "I asked you to come here today just to recognize them, not to express your opinions. Otherwise, you should go home and watch TV. The TV shows my good kids are participating in are pretty good."
Mother Jiang kept pulling An Zhixia and the others, whispering, "Although they are distant relatives, you are the younger generation, and Xia Xia is a new bride, so it is not appropriate to quarrel with them. Don't worry, your grandmother will not let the children suffer."
Old Master Jiang glanced at his relatives with a slightly gloomy expression, and everyone closed their mouths unwillingly.
Old Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "Yuanzi went on a business trip to the Northeast a few days ago and brought back a lot of good things. They are just right as a betrothal gift." She directly unpacked the things that An Zhiqiu had placed on the coffee table one by one.
"These are two 500-year-old ginsengs. Look at how plump they are and how their roots are particularly stretched out. They are a very rare tonic. I have lived to this age, but this is the first time I have seen ginsengs of this age. Even if you give me 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, I would not be willing to sell them.
Look at how sincere the child is!"
The Jiang family smiled and nodded with satisfaction. Although they didn't mind how much Fang Yuan's betrothal gift was, they could see how much he cared about An Zhixia from the preparation of the betrothal gift.
The relatives of the Jiang family completely gave up. They had never seen such a thick ginseng before. Even if they sold it, it would not be worth two ginsengs. Ten thousand yuan, when did it become so worthless?
They looked at Fang Yuan. Wasn't he a member of the transport team? How come the matchmakers were two founding generals and the betrothal gift was two 500-year-old ginsengs? Who was he?
"These are also the precious medicinal herbs that Yuanzi brought from the Northeast. They are very good for the body whether they are used to make wine or soup," Old Lady Qi unfolded the other betrothal gifts and took out a bulging bag from the basket: "The betrothal money will be 5,200 yuan."
Mrs. Jiang took it with a smile, turned around and stuffed the money into An Zhixia's arms: "We will keep the herbs for now, and the young couple should use this money to live on."
The two families were particularly quick to help the couple get engaged and started talking about marriage.
"It's more important for them to live a good life. We don't want a penny from them. We will give as much dowry as Fang Yuan gives us." Old Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, "She is the only daughter in our family. She deserves to marry in a grand manner."
"Yuanzi has also told us everything," Old Madam Qi is a shrewd person and knows the situation of the Jiang family. The Jiang family is not short of money and they are low-key, so they make the relatives jump up and down. So she simply said it all in one breath: "Yuanzi's family has a courtyard house in the city center, and they can live in it when they retire." To increase the persuasiveness, she also took out the house deeds to prove this. "But Yuanzi goes to work and the children go to school, so they have to live in the unit for the time being. Yuanzi renovated the house very well, I went to see it, it's very comfortable to live in. The neighbors are all family members of the same team, so there won't be any major conflicts."
