Fan Xi was stunned for a moment. She almost forgot that she had parents in this world.
So he smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, I haven't informed my mother's family yet, so I don't plan to let them come over!"
"Well, they've taken good care of you, so they must be very polite. How could you not inform them about such a big event like the wedding banquet? I think, after you pick up Lao Zhao and the others tomorrow, go pick up your parents and ask them to come to Beijing and stay for a few days so they can keep you company!"
Zhao Yilu knew that his grandfather, who had been a secretary for many years, always had a bad temper. So when he asked his grandfather for help in transferring Fan Xi's household registration, he did not dare to directly say that he was being plotted against by Fan's parents. He was afraid that his grandfather would go to their house in a fit of rage and make things worse, and might even prevent him from marrying Fan Xi.
Instead, he lied to his grandfather and said that he and Fan Xi were in love when he was an educated youth in Fanjia Village, but because he was going to join the army, Fan Xi's parents were unwilling to let Fan Xi marry him and wanted Fan Xi to marry someone else. Later, Fan Xi followed him south to be with him.
When Mr. He heard what Zhao Yilu said, he just felt that it was his own trouble-making grandson who abducted the girl and bullied her before the marriage. He felt so guilty towards Fan's parents that he was too ashamed to meet his in-laws!
So when he helped Fan Xi transfer his household registration, he called Yuanshui County directly and asked them to transfer Fan Xi's household registration as soon as possible and pass the political review as soon as possible. He also told them not to make too much noise. He wanted to wait for Zhao Yilu to come back before letting this guy go to the Fan family in person to apologize. After all, the girl had given birth to their family's children, so the marriage must be completed and the household registration must be transferred as soon as possible!
Seeing that the old man was a little anxious, Zhao Yilu quickly found an excuse: "Grandpa, Li Xi has too many relatives over there, and they are all in the village, so transportation is not very convenient. We plan to hold it in Beijing first, and then I will go back with Li Xi to hold another one. This way, we can save the relatives from having to travel back and forth in the middle of winter!"
When Grandpa He heard his grandson's words, he nodded and said, "That's fine. After all, we can't treat Li Xi unfairly! Oh, by the way, you can ask your grandma for the three-turn and one-ring bills and money later. We've prepared them for you. You can decide whether to buy them in Beijing or in Guangzhou."
After saying that, he looked at Fan Xi and said, "Li Xi, the popular betrothal gift here in Beijing is 600, but we think it's too little. After discussing it with Yilu's grandma and grandpa over the phone, we decided to give you 2888. What do you think?"
Fan Xi quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and waved his hand to refuse, "Grandpa, Grandma, didn't you send a large sum of money along the way a while ago? Why do you still want to give me such a large betrothal gift? It's really not necessary. We have money!"
He Zhengxiang laughed and said, "The money I sent over before was for your daily needs. This is the betrothal gift. One thing for all, it's a must!"
He Zhengxiang looked at Zhao Yilu and continued with relief, "Although Yilu is only a platoon leader with a small allowance now, this kid is smart and has good physical fitness. He is a promising soldier and will definitely have a bright future! So you can live with him and don't worry about not having enough money. Old Zhao and his wife and I still have some family assets, which will belong to you and his eldest brother in the future. We will subsidize you first, and when we are old and have no money, you will definitely have to support us."
Just as Fan Yu was about to mention Zhao Yilu's promotion to company commander, He Zhengxiang spoke again...
"Girl, let me tell you, his grandparents are even richer. They used to be the sons and daughters of wealthy families. Although they donated their house and money a few years ago, they still kept some for themselves! You'll find out when you go there tomorrow. The betrothal gift is also contributed by both our families, and it's really not much. It's just that you came back so quickly this time, so I can only keep it simple and give it to you directly. I shouldn't have found a matchmaker to go to your house and deliver the betrothal gift."
