They said that they couldn't even support their mother and had to send her to beg for money from their younger brother. In order to save face, the Su family had no choice but to come and apologize. After this lesson, the old lady of the Su family never dared to do that again.
…
As early as the fifth day after returning to the city, Sun Jianhua brought his family to visit Su Tao's home. They were very satisfied with each other during this meeting.
In addition, the family was not too far away, so after discussing it, the two families decided to get engaged first.
The wedding banquet will be held in the countryside. After all, they are still educated youth and their household registration is still in the countryside.
Holding an engagement party in the city is just to tell relatives and friends about the relationship between the two, and it is also a respect for the woman.
Sun Jianhua had no objection to his parents' decision and even discussed it with Su Tao. The two of them decided to leave the matter to his parents, as they didn't understand anything about it anyway.
…
Xu Qi stayed in the Red Star Brigade for a week this time. During the day, he came to study with Song Tanglan. At night, he either went back to his elder sister's place to rest or went to the valley to take a look.
Because he came early in the morning every day and stayed all day, Cheng Fangyuan was worried and came to check on him from time to time, fearing that Xu Qi would bully Song Tanglan.
Every time it was a certain time, he would come to remind Xu Qi, but when he refused to leave, he would drive him away.
"Lanlan, Brother Yuan is like a ghost, coming over every hour to check on me. I've known him for such a long time, am I such an unreliable person?"
Xu Qi felt very aggrieved as he spoke. It was because his brother Yuan did not believe him. Was he the kind of person who would do something extraordinary without any status?
Besides, they are just dating now. As long as they are not engaged and I am not married, he dare not take any other action, otherwise his path to finding a wife will be even more difficult.
"It's okay, maybe my brother-in-law is just looking for an opportunity to be lazy. Maybe he will be fine in a few days."
Song Tanglan was a little amused by her second brother-in-law's behavior. Even if her second sister told him, he would not listen and insisted on doing it. Maybe this was the son-in-law who had been brainwashed by Song's father.
Otherwise, why have his actions been so strange recently?
"But it's already the 7th day, and I have to go back to the commune tomorrow. I was thinking of spending some quality time with you these days, but I didn't expect Brother Yuan to keep interrupting me."
Xu Qi was very angry when he talked about this. During this period of time, he showed up from time to time, not only interrupting their private time, but also giving various reasons to urge him to leave quickly.
Sometimes, she would chase him away before dinner time.
"Don't feel wronged. We still have a lot of time to spend together in the future. Didn't my father specifically tell my brother-in-law about this? How dare I disobey him?"
Song Tanglan knew how much her father disliked her dating, but later, because they were already together and Su He was there to suppress it, she didn't dare to reveal too much.
Since there was no chance to cause trouble, he could only turn his attention to his second brother-in-law and ask him to do it.
Seeing that the little girl felt sorry for him, Xu Qi didn't dwell on the matter anymore, but instead talked about another matter.
"I'm going to another province to do some shopping tomorrow. I'll be gone for three months and won't be back until the spring. You have to take good care of yourself. I'll come back with a gift for you."
"You'll be gone for such a long time, so you have to take good care of yourself. Remember to rest well in the car and don't drive while tired, okay?"
After hearing what he said, Song Tanglan felt a little reluctant. After all, they hadn't seen each other for three months, and they were in the honeymoon period and had been together for less than a year.
"It's a bit long, but this time we're going to do some major shopping. Lanlan, when I get back, I'll take you to meet my mother. How about we get engaged after the spring planting?"
Song Tanglan looked at Xu Qi eagerly, and was stunned for a moment after hearing his words. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Isn't this a little too fast? We've only been together for a short time."
"No, we've known each other for so long. We're not like other people who need that much time to get to know each other. I can't wait to get married with you and spend every day together."
What Xu Qi said was indeed the truth. He had waited long enough for the little girl to come to her senses. Now that she had finally come to his senses, he just wanted to quickly take her back to the wolf's den.
He was afraid that if he was not around, the little girl would be taken away by someone else. Moreover, he felt a little uncomfortable as he could only look at the little girl he loved so much but could not touch her.
Song Tanglan was speechless seeing how eager he was. She felt that it was too quick for her to agree, but she couldn't refuse when she met his eyes. She could only sigh helplessly.
"Let's talk about it later. It's still early now. How about we discuss it after you finish shopping and come back safely?"
"Okay, this is what you said, Lanlan can't regret it."
Xu Qi was very happy after he finished speaking. Although the girl did not agree directly, at least she gave in. As long as he tried harder, he believed that the girl would agree. Then he would have a wife in his arms and a warm bed to sleep on.
Seeing how excited he was, Song Tanglan didn't have the heart to expose his little thoughts, so she let him hug her and rub her neck.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't hug for long before Xu Qi let go. It was really because of the noise Cheng Fangyuan deliberately made outside.
