The virus was particularly serious in 2021, and everyone was restricted from traveling. Zhang Weifang also stayed at home completely.
Many people are stockpiling supplies, including her. She has stockpiled a lot of food, drinks, personal protective equipment, and disinfectant. She even thought the world was coming to an end!
Life is a bit boring. Except for occasionally visiting her two younger brothers' homes, Zhang Weifang usually stays at home all the time.
Life was too boring, so Zhang Weifang gradually became fond of playing games and played some simple single-player games on her mobile phone every day.
Lu Shi was more interested in cooking and made different kinds of food for her every day.
An An and his wife were also trapped at home. They stopped quarreling in recent years and their relationship seemed to have improved. At the same time, they were always worried about the safety of their daughter Lu Tingting.
An An called her daughter many times, wanting her to come home, but Lu Tingting refused every time.
Lu Tingting is 27 years old this year. She is a restless person. In the past few years, she has traveled all over the country, working, traveling, and gaining insights, living a free and easy life.
Lu Tingting has always dressed in a masculine style, and most of her friends are boys. Coupled with her unruly personality, it is difficult for her to stay in one place.
She has climbed snow-capped mountains, been to deserts, walked on grasslands, and dived into the seabed. She also loves extreme sports such as bungee jumping, skiing, and surfing.
Lu Tingting has never had a boyfriend. She has no interest in dating and all she does every day is work and play.
The virus slowed her down and made her very upset. Her parents kept urging her to go back to her hometown, so she boarded the train home.
She hasn't been back since she left home for college. After getting off the train, Lu Tingting felt both unfamiliar and familiar with the city. She first went home to take a shower and have a sleep, and then the family of three sat together.
The three of them hadn't sat together for more than ten years, so the situation was a bit awkward. An An felt very guilty and asked nervously:
"Are you doing well out there?"
Lu Tingting was not used to this kind of atmosphere. She raised her hand to push back her bangs and said in a very calm voice:
"fine."
When Zhang Hailian saw her daughter's unfamiliar attitude towards them, she wanted to cry. She only had this one daughter, but she didn't treat her well in the beginning. Now she regretted it so much.
In the following days, An An and his wife tried their best to please Lu Tingting, which made her feel very uncomfortable and depressed.
That day, Lu Tingting went to visit her uncle's house. When she saw her uncle and aunt busy in the kitchen, and her brother and sister-in-law playing with the children, her eyes suddenly became sore. This was the family life she had always longed for.
There are mom and dad, the smell of fireworks, laughter, and all those things that I thought I didn’t care about suddenly came to my mind at the same time.
Hu Zi and Wang Hui were very welcoming to her. They invited her to eat and asked her about her situation outside. Everyone was chatting lively and the room was warm.
After dinner, Hu Zi asked:
"Tingting, what are your plans next?"
"Uncle, I want to stay here. I'm tired of running around outside these past few years."
Hu Zi felt relieved when he heard this:
"Okay, it's time for you to find a partner. If you find someone suitable, you can try."
Lu Tingting originally just wanted to come back and visit, but when she saw how her uncle's family lived, she suddenly wanted to have a home too.
Lu Tingting had not found a suitable job in the past few days after returning home. One day, she saw many people delivering food on motorcycles on the road. She thought this job was very good, so she immediately picked up her mobile phone and started looking at recruitment information.
Three days later, Lu Tingting successfully put on the little yellow shirt and became a member of the takeaway team.
After working for a while, she found that she still liked this job very much. Running outside every day made her very happy.
During her work, she encountered many things and met many people, including hurried travelers, leisurely old people, and flirting young people. These are the kind of fireworks life she likes.
A month later, Lu Tingting met a boy who was two years younger than her. He was a very shy boy and his face even blushed when he pursued her.
Lu Tingting had never been in a relationship before, so she found it very strange to see this kind of boy, and the two of them soon started dating.
Being in love feels great, with someone caring for and loving you, which makes Lu Tingting want to start a family even more.
Three months later, Lu Tingting couldn't wait to bring the boy home to meet her parents. Although she was very enthusiastic, An An and Zhang Hailian were not satisfied with this future son-in-law.
However, due to their debt to their children, the two did not have enough confidence to oppose this relationship and could only accept it silently.
In fact, An An knew that even if he directly objected, Lu Tingting would not listen to him.
After meeting her parents, Lu Tingting took her boyfriend to meet her grandparents and uncle and aunt on a Sunday.
After meeting the boy, Hu Zi didn't say anything. Wang Hui kept looking at her parents-in-law, wanting them to talk, because the boy was really not worthy of her own child.
There was nothing particularly bad about the boy himself. He was shy, obedient, and quiet, all of which were what Lu Tingting needed.
However, the boy's family had big problems. His mother married his current father and they formed a reconstituted family. Most importantly, the boy's family was financially poor.
The first time Lu Tingting went to the boy's house, the boy's mother told her to ask for less betrothal gifts because the family had no money, and as for a house or a car, it was out of the question.
The boy's stepfather seemed very kind and spoke very nicely:
"Tingting, if you don't want to live at home after you get married, then you can rent a house first. I'll pay the rent for you. Our house is about to be demolished, and I'll give it to you when we divide the house."
Lu Tingting had no experience and couldn't tell the difference between empty talk and empty talk, but who among the elders like Zhang Weifang didn't understand the hidden meaning behind their words?
To put it bluntly, they are getting married without any property. As for the house they will own in the future? Who knows where it is?
Lu Tingting had a strong desire to get married. She knew her family opposed it, but she still insisted on going her own way. An An and Zhang Hailian's faces drooped.
Zhang Weifang understood her psychology. Lu Tingting now was like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood. That was her only chance of survival. How could she give up?
In fact, this situation is easy to solve. What Lu Tingting needs is someone who can save her, and she will hold on to this person tightly no matter who it is.
Zhang Weifang looked at her red line chart and quickly found the most suitable person for her. All she had to do next was to let the two of them meet.
