Today Su Man is wearing a classic black and white suit with a small fragrance style, with sheepskin short boots. Her palm-sized face looks too young, but the clothes neutralize the sense of age, adding a bit of mature charm to her. The hair shawl looks extraordinarily gentle and elegant.
After getting out of the car, Han Zheng led Su Man into the community with his things in his hands. In a short distance of more than 200 meters, he met several groups of neighbors, all of whom were family members of Songda faculty and staff. I found a partner, but no one has seen it face to face, I didn't expect to meet today.
Everyone was talking to Han Zheng on the surface, but their eyes were all on Su Man, and they brought the topic to Su Man within a few words.
"Xiao Zheng, is this your partner?"
Han Zheng nodded and introduced a few words. At this time, Su Man only needs to smile and show a bit of shyness. Han Zheng can handle the rest.
"That's great. This girl is so pretty. No wonder you don't want to look at so many girls that Auntie introduces to you. It turns out that you have such high eyesight."
Han Zheng retreated steadily under the teasing eyes of everyone, Su Man not only did not sympathize, but also took the opportunity to appreciate his helpless expression, which was more interesting than TV shows.
After Chen Shuyu looked at the wall clock for the seventeenth time, there was finally a knock on the door, and it was Han Zheng who came with Su Man.
At first, Chen Shuyu was a little nervous, afraid of being embarrassed because of what happened last time, but after opening the door, Su Man greeted her with a smile, as if nothing had happened, and Chen Shuyu's heart immediately relaxed.
"Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I'm Su Man. I'm sorry for my first visit."
Chen Shuyu greeted with a smile, "Why are you polite, come in and sit quickly."
It was the first time for Han Yiming to see Su Man, and his overall impression was good, he nodded secretly in his heart, sure enough, his son was looking for a good match.
Chen Shuyu put the brewed tea in front of Su Man, saw the diamond ring Su Man was wearing on her index finger, and asked with a smile, "Is this the ring that Han Zheng proposed? It looks good, and you look good on it."
Su Man smiled a little embarrassedly, nodded and said, "He gave it to me. I was afraid of losing it and wanted to put it away. Han Zheng insisted that I wear it. If I don't wear it, it will lose its value."
These words can fool others but not Su Man. What he cares about is not the value, he just wants to put a stamp on Su Man and let others know that she has a marriage partner.
"Knowledge is better than mother", Chen Shuyu also guessed a little bit, looked at her son with a smile, didn't say anything to disrupt the situation, but talked about the ring along the topic.
"If he had asked for marriage earlier, I would have given him the family's ancestral emerald ring. It is an old object that has been passed down for generations, and it is more meaningful than the ring I bought."
After finishing speaking, Chen Shuyu stood up with a smile, and said to Su Man, "Wait, I'll go and get it out right away. I'm worried that you don't know what to give when you come to the door for the first time. This ring is just right for the occasion."
It turned out that she wanted to give the ring to Su Man, which made Su Man slightly flattered, and once again praised Han Zheng's execution.
Before, he said that he had talked seriously with his parents, and there would be no more embarrassing situations for her. Seeing that Han Mu's attitude changed obviously today, it seemed like a different person. Su Man almost died of admiration.
The ring was old-fashioned, but the huge emerald gemstone set was bright and dazzling, with a green light.
As a professional in the Department of Archeology, Su Man naturally saw that this gem was worth a lot and could be exchanged for a villa in the city center.
So when Chen Shuyu asked her to accept it, Su Man repeatedly refused.
"Auntie, this ring is too expensive, I can't take it."
Chen Shuyu smiled and took her hand, and slipped it into her middle finger involuntarily, the size turned out to be very suitable.
"Look, this means that the ring should belong to you."
Su Man hurriedly wanted to take it off, not because she was trying to put on a show, but because the ring was indeed too precious, and she felt that it was inappropriate to just accept it.
Chen Shuyu pressed her hand to prevent her from taking it off, and persuaded her softly, "Be obedient and accept it. Since you have agreed to Han Zheng's marriage, it is the daughter-in-law of the Han family. This ring is originally for the daughter-in-law of the Han family. Today If you don’t accept it, it will still be passed on to you.”
At this moment, Su Man was moved from the bottom of her heart, and chose to forget the previous unpleasantness. If the other party could accept her and treat her kindly in front of Han Zheng, then she should also respect him in front of Han Zheng.
Chen Shuyu was not good at cooking, so she ordered lunch from an outside restaurant. There were four cold dishes, five hot dishes and one rib soup, which filled the entire dining table.
During the meal, Chen Shuyu praised Su Man's thesis and suggested that she take the postgraduate entrance examination after graduation.
"I have a graduate class in my hand. I have read your thesis. It is very well written. It is enough to get a master's degree if you polish it."
Su Man nodded, "Actually, I also have this plan, but now I'm still thinking about getting a bachelor's degree."
Chen Shuyu nodded in relief. No matter what, it's good to be self-motivated. She didn't ask why Su Man didn't get into a good university before. She guessed that she was rebellious when she was a child and didn't know the importance of studying.
In the afternoon, when Su Man came home, she saw a guest at home. It was her aunt Zhu Aizhen, who was also the mother of the original heroine of the novel, Su Xiangting.
In the novel, Zhu Aizhen has strict requirements on her daughter. Since Su Xiangting went to school, she has attached great importance to her grades, and she is not allowed to be lower than the top three in her class.
During college, Su Xiangting actively participated in clubs. She is beautiful, cheerful, and a native of the city. She has made many friends. Naturally, there are many suitors, but Su Xiangting didn't talk about any of them, because her mother said a long time ago that a woman's marriage is better than reincarnation. What's more important, the first love is more precious, if you want to find it, you have to find good conditions in all aspects.
The school organized an internship in the second semester of her junior year. Su Xiangting met Qin Feng, the heroine of the novel. He is five years older than Su Xiangting. Later, I found that Qin Feng was not only capable of work, but also a righteous man who hated evil and hated evil. Such a contrast made Su Xiangting gradually develop a good impression, and finally fell in love with Qin Feng and got married. Their married life was very happy.
As the heroine of the novel, Su Xiangting’s life is good, but as a cousin, the original owner didn’t get much credit, and Zhu Aizhen even said a lot of bad things about the original owner behind her back, such as not studying hard, wanting to climb high branches just because she looks good, etc. Although it's true, it's still chilling to have a close relative like this, not to mention that the original owner married a non-person who came back from abroad after divorce. She has no money, no job, and no place to live. Su Xiangting proposed to lend an idle old house to her cousin She was dissuaded by Zhu Aizhen, who was worried that the original owner would occupy the house and would not be able to evict her if she wanted to.
The original owner is just an insignificant cannon fodder in the novel. No readers will care about her life and death. They will only say that the original owner is to blame. This world is no longer just a novel, Su Xiangting is not the heroine, everyone is the absolute protagonist of their own world.
Su Man judged that Zhu Aizhen's visit was more than simply chatting with Ren Liqin. Sure enough, after seeing her, Zhu Aizhen held her hand affectionately and praised her inside and out.
"I said that Manman must be promising in this life, so I should be looking for a partner. I just read the newspaper today, and I thought why the girl who was proposed to marry is so similar to our Manman, so I quickly called to ask, is she still married?" Really."
Su Man remembered that Su Xiangting was two years younger than Su Man. She was eighteen this year and was still a freshman.
It's been almost four months since she came here, and she hasn't seen Su Xiangting's mother and daughter. If the marriage proposal hadn't been published in the newspaper, she might not be able to see each other until the Chinese New Year.
Su Man didn't like to deal with such purposeful and duplicity people, so she just smiled and said nothing. Ren Liqin was embarrassed to be a daughter, so she smiled and chatted along with her sister-in-law.
"Don't talk about you, I was dumbfounded. I came back the other day and told me that Xiao Han proposed to her, and she agreed. I thought it was too fast at that time. The main reason was that Manman was only twenty, so I was not in a hurry to get married."
These words had already been said before Su Man came back. Zhu Aizhen responded a few words and then turned the topic to her niece, pointing to the diamond ring on Su Man's hand and asking, "Is this the ring? The diamond is quite big, more than one carat, right? Hurry up." Show aunt, aunt has never worn a diamond ring in her life."
Su Man smiled and stretched out her hand. Naturally, she would not show it to Zhu Aizhen in a foolish way. She only shook it a few times to let her take a look.
Ren Liqin beside her couldn't suppress her joy and said, "Three carats are too expensive. If you want me to say one carat, it's fine, and it's better to save the money for decoration."
Zhu Aizhen caught the key message in Ren Liqin's words, "Renovation?"
"Yeah, the house I just bought is Yulong Tianfeng next to the People's Square. Xiao Han is too honest. The house has Man Man's name written on it before they are married. I really don't know what to say. It's a loss." It's our Manman, who doesn't want money or a house, if he meets a girl with impure thoughts, he will definitely suffer."
Zhu Aizhen laughed a few times, then praised Su Man's life, and sat for another ten minutes before going home.
Su Man knew that although she was smiling, she was not necessarily happy in her heart. After all, she had been the leader in children's issues for more than 20 years, and now Ren Liqin was allowed to take the lead. It was unbearable for her who wanted to be strong. .
After Zhu Aizhen left, Su Man took out the emerald ring from her bag, and kindly reminded her of the price of the ring. Ren Liqin was so shocked that she almost couldn't even speak.
"It's so valuable, so I'll give it to you!"
"Well, I was surprised too."
Her "surprise" had two meanings, but Ren Liqin only understood one, because before Chen Shuyu went to the dance troupe to find her, she didn't come back and tell her family.
Ren Liqin returned the ring to Su Man after carefully looking at it, and told her to put it away and never lose it.
"I used to think that I was a textile worker all my life and had no future, and I was not able to provide you with a good life. Now your brother has opened a company. Although it is just a cleaning company, it is better than working for others. You have found a good partner, father-in-law. The mother-in-law is also very good, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out that it is bitter before sweet."
Su Man understood her thoughts, hugged her and comforted her, "Mom, it will be fine, our life will get better and better."
After all, her mission is to live a happy life.
After Zhu Aizhen got home, she called her daughter and asked her to come back to stay at night.
Su Xiangting on the other end of the phone obviously hesitated, and asked worriedly, "Mom, what's the matter? I have class in the evening, and it doesn't end until nine o'clock."
The bus and subway didn't stop at nine o'clock, but she was a little girl, so she was quite scared to go home so late.
Zhu Aizhen didn't insist on hearing her daughter said that there were classes, mainly because the fire in her heart had already dissipated half, knowing that even if her daughter came back, it would be of no use, she couldn't let her daughter not go to school and get married now.
She also thought that since her niece found a good family, she would be able to introduce a good partner to Xiang Ting in the future, so thinking about Zhu Aizhen would not be so unpleasant. , please keep in mind:,.
