Zhang Jiuchang was successfully buried in the ancestral tomb. Several younger relatives of the family came one after another. They kowtowed to him respectfully and burned incense to express their respect and remembrance for this elder.
With the completion of these rituals, the matter came to a successful conclusion.
It was a clear and cool autumn day. Hu Zi and An An both moved into their new homes. Zhang Weifang stayed at each house for one night and then came back. She always felt uncomfortable staying at someone else's house.
In September, Zhang Weiren's two children started their internships. He arranged for his daughter Zhang Nailin to work at the provincial TV station, but his son Zhang Shijie did not follow his arrangement to pursue a career in politics, but went directly to a game design company.
Zhang Weiren was a little heartbroken about his son's choice. He had left all his lifelong connections and experience to his son, and the future had been paved for him, but his son was unwilling to follow his arrangements.
Zhang Weiren had no choice but to respect his choice while feeling sorry for him.
My daughter is even more capable. She quit her job at a TV station after just one month. When asked the reason, she simply said that the people there were not well educated, were all good-for-nothings, and were not worthy of her talent.
By the time Zhang Weiren found out, Zhang Nailin had already gone alone to the coastal city of Yantai to work as a tour guide.
Unfortunately, when she first started her internship, her salary was only 350 yuan, which was not enough to even cover her food. After experiencing the ups and downs of society, she returned to school and prepared to apply to study abroad.
Zhang Nailin studies English. She has always been very hardworking and ambitious, so she feels that going abroad is the best choice for her now.
When Jin Wen heard that his daughter was going abroad, he couldn't sit still. Her health was not good and she might die one day. If the child went abroad, not to mention other difficulties, what if he couldn't see her for the last time?
Zhang Nailin is a filial child. When she saw that her mother did not agree, she had no choice but to give up.
Just at this time, one of her classmates introduced her to a boy. This boy was also from the city, but his parents were both workers, so their family conditions were not a match.
The boy's name is Zhao Zhi, two years older than Zhang Nailin. He is a master's graduate from Tianjin University. He has an ordinary appearance, an ordinary family, and ordinary emotional intelligence. However, he has a high IQ and has been a top student since childhood.
On the day Zhao Zhi came to visit, Zhang Weifang, as his aunt, also went. Jin Wen asked her to help investigate this son-in-law.
For some reason, this boy gave her a bad first impression. He spoke too directly, and there was a sense of arrogance in his directness.
With a big round face, small eyes, and a pair of black-framed glasses, he looks like an old scholar.
Both Zhang Weifang and Zhang Weiren dislike him, thinking that he is not worthy of their beautiful daughters, but Jin Wen likes him.
As soon as Zhao Zhi left, she expressed her opinion:
"I think Xiao Zhao is good. He's honest and has no ulterior motives. Nailin is very capable, and the two of them complement each other perfectly. Besides, Xiao Zhao is a good student, so his future children will definitely be good too."
Of course Zhang Weifang couldn't just say she looked down on him, so she said in a roundabout way:
"Jin Wen, look at his family. They are so different from ours. I'm afraid there will be conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Zhang Weiren was extremely dissatisfied, and he particularly agreed with his eldest sister's opinion:
"Yeah, this Xiao Zhao doesn't speak well either. His emotional intelligence is so low. How is he going to interact with others in the future?"
However, no matter how Zhang Weifang and Zhang Weiren tried to persuade him, Jin Wen was determined to make Zhao Zhi his son-in-law.
Zhang Nailin had a normal impression of Zhao Zhi, but she was very envious of his high education, so with Jin Wen's strong support, the two young people soon got together.
During the Chinese New Year of the Millennium, the family gathered together again, and Zhao Zhi also went back to his hometown with them.
Zhang Weishuang only glanced at Zhao Zhi, then immediately pulled Zhang Weifang to the next room:
"Sister, is this Xiao Zhao... really Nailin's boyfriend?"
"Well, Jin Wen is satisfied."
Zhang Weishuang curled his lips, his words full of dissatisfaction:
"Big sister, I'm not saying this, but this Xiao Zhao is too ugly. How can he be worthy of our daughter?"
Zhang Weifang quickly covered her mouth:
"Stop talking, it's not our child, leave him alone."
In June, Zhang Nailin received her diploma, and in October, she got married.
As the first grandchild of the Zhang family to get married, Zhang Nailin made the whole family feel extremely excited and thrilled.
As for Jin Wen, she was very satisfied with her new son-in-law, so she decided to hold a grand wedding in a luxurious hotel to celebrate this important moment.
The wedding was grand in scale and many relatives and friends were invited to witness it.
The hotel's banquet hall is carefully decorated into a romantic sea of flowers, with flowers, ribbons and candlelight intertwined to create a warm and dreamy atmosphere.
The guests, dressed in their best clothes and with big smiles on their faces, walked into the venue, their laughter echoing throughout the space.
At the beginning of the wedding, Zhang Nailin was wearing a white wedding dress and holding flowers in her hands. She was as beautiful as a fairy. Her face was filled with a happy smile and her eyes were shining with determination.
The groom was wearing a well-tailored suit, looking handsome and elegant. The two walked onto the stage hand in hand, accepting the blessings and applause of their relatives and friends.
Jin Wen stood aside, looking at her daughter and son-in-law, her heart filled with joy and emotion. She knew that from this moment on, Zhang Nailin would start a new chapter in her life and spend every day of the future with her lover.
Jin Wen hopes that they can support each other, cherish each other and create a better life together.
After the wedding ceremony, guests gave their blessings and gifts one after another. The atmosphere was warm and everyone shared the joy together.
Finally, the newlyweds cut the huge cake and enjoyed the sweet taste with the guests.
This wedding is not only a testimony to the love between Zhang Nailin and her husband, it has become a beautiful memory that will remain in everyone's heart forever.
In order to allow relatives and friends from his hometown to come to the city to attend the wedding, Gou Xiao, as the organizer, also rented a bus.
At five in the morning, before daybreak, a bus full of passengers set off. This bus, which was originally designed to accommodate only 36 people, was now packed with people.
The reason is simple. The ride was free, so it attracted a large number of people who came to attend the wedding, as well as some children who came to watch the fun.
Gou Xiao was also troubled by this phenomenon. The fare was originally agreed to be 800 yuan, but when the driver saw that there were so many people, he raised the fare to 1,800 yuan before leaving.
There was no other way. Everyone was already on the bus, and Gou Xiao was embarrassed to let them get off, so he had no choice but to pay for the fare out of his own pocket.
