When Liang Guifen brought up the matter of marriage, Yan Chu naturally would not object.
Received an affirmative answer from her son, Liang Guifen was both happy and sad.
The happy thing is that his son is finally getting married, and the sad thing is that after his son gets married, the closest person to him will become his wife and future children, but generally speaking, he is more happy than sad.
The old lady is a sensible person. She is already at this age. If she lives longer, she will be with her son for another 20 or 30 years. The daughter-in-law will be with her son for the rest of her life. She will not learn from those mother-in-laws in order to win over her son. There is no need to provoke the feelings of the son and daughter-in-law. What good is it to break up the hearts of the family? Can it be done
Liang Guifen firmly believes that sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, knowing that the child seems to be well-behaved and caring, as long as she treats the child as her own daughter, the other party will treat her no worse, both of them have Yan Chu in their hearts, these days You can live a prosperous life.
"Our house is a bit old. Since we plan to get married, we have to buy this house again."
Although it is a small county town on the 180th line, the housing prices here have grown as fast as a monkey in the past few years. There are better new buildings opened, and the price per square meter is also 7,000 to 8,000. For a per capita income of 2,000 For many small counties, it is already ridiculously high.
Fortunately, the Yan family has other side income besides the fixed salary income. Over the past few decades, they have saved a small 600,000 yuan. It is still possible to buy a house of 180 square meters. Pay more, and the young couple will not need to repay the loan by themselves in the future.
"Mom went to see the newly released houses a few days ago, and the layouts are not bad. If you think a house of 100 square meters is too small, there are elevator rooms of more than 140 square meters, four-bedroom households, and hardcover houses. , don’t worry, just add some furniture and appliances. If Zhizhi doesn’t mind, Mom will live with you and help you with laundry and cooking. When you have children, she can help you take care of them. If Zhizhi doesn’t like it If I live with the elderly, I will live in our old house, and when the time comes, I will sell the other one and raise money to buy you a bigger one.”
Liang Guifen made a good plan. In the future, her daughter-in-law will come back from a big city, so she may not be happy to live with her, and she also doesn't want to be annoying. If she lives farther away, she might be closer to her.
Of course, that's the way it is said, the old lady has lived with her son all her life, and she will definitely feel bad about living separately when the time comes.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Didn't the purpose of marrying a daughter-in-law be to have one more person to be filial to you with me? How can someone get married and leave you out instead? Don't say that again, I don't want to hear it."
Yan Chu is a filial person, Ting Ma intends to live separately from him after marriage, so she refuted Liang Guifen's proposal without thinking.
"We don't need to buy a house either. Our old house is in a good location, but the neighborhood is a bit older. If we want to get married, we can open up the apartment next door and renovate it. This will add up to almost 200 square meters, and we will have a few more. Children can live there."
When Liang Guifen bought a house, he specially bought two suites on the same floor, separated by a wall. Now he lives in one and rents out the other. The last tenant is a foreigner. By the end of September, it will be more than a month from now, and it will take more than two months to open up and redecorate the two suites.
The son is filial to himself, and Liang Guifen is very happy to hear that. Mothers all over the world have the same psychology. Rao Liang Guifen understands the general reasoning. He is also happy to hear that his son prefers her as a mother between his wife and his mother.
"Don't say that in front of Zhizhi." She nodded her son's head, telling him to be careful in front of his future wife, so that he wouldn't run away in anger.
"Mom, Zhizhi also agrees. I said it when we were on a blind date. Living with you is the basic premise. I think Zhizhi is quite filial. He agreed without objecting at all, so don't worry, don't say it again." Why live separately." Yan Chu comforted the old lady.
"Really?" She was such a good girl, Liang Guifen was a little moved, and immediately stopped talking about living separately.
"But this house really doesn't buy a new one?"
Now that young people get married and live in a new house, they can't be inferior to others just because their children don't have a father. Married in an old house, the old lady always feels a little bit unmotivated.
"There is no need to buy a new house. Isn't our house very good? The neighbors in the neighborhood are all acquaintances. The kindergarten is a few steps away from the community. It is also close to our school, so everything is convenient."
Yan Chu didn't want to waste the whole morning installing a pinhole camera. Besides, Liang Zhizhi's strategy in the previous life could be so successful, and it was also inseparable from the fact that after the move, the neighbors didn't move around very much. What Liang Zhizhi said Everyone listened to what they believed, and they never gave Yan Chu a chance to refute.
But here is different, Yan Chu moved here with Liang Guifen when he was four years old, and more than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, the old neighbors are very familiar, saying that they watched Yan Chu grow up It is not an exaggeration, in this kind of family situation, what Liang Zhizhi said, and what he said to himself, others must listen to him more.
A better public opinion environment is very important to his future plans, so Yan Chu never planned to sell the house and buy a new one from the beginning.
"If you don't want to buy a new house, you have to talk to Zhizhizhi, but what you just said is right. It's much better to open up the two houses and renovate them than to buy a new house. And we Apart from the fact that this neighborhood is a bit older, there is nothing to say about the location, and there are all kinds of shopping malls and vegetable markets nearby, if you change to another real estate, you won’t be able to find such a good house.”
Liang Guifen's vision is still good. The two houses she bought at the beginning are now considered to be in the center of the small county town. Although it is an old community, the price per square meter is higher than that of some newly opened buildings.
At first, Liang Guifen just thought that the woman's family might mind if she didn't have a new house. Now, after listening to her son's analysis, she feels that the old community also has its benefits.
The mother and son discussed the details of their marriage, and under the arrangement of the matchmaker Aunt Yan, the two families sat together to discuss the matter of the young couple Yan Chu and Liang Zhizhi in a down-to-earth manner.
"Brother-in-law Yan"
Yan Chu met Liang Zhizhi's parents, but this was the first time he saw Liang Zhizhi's younger brother Liang Qiuzhi.
Liang Qiuzhi is thirteen years younger than Liang Zhizhi. Liang's mother was in the ring at the beginning, and she was pregnant by accident. Because of the ring, she didn't think at first that she was pregnant when she didn't have her period. When her period was not allowed, when she felt something was wrong and went to the hospital, she was almost five months pregnant.
After examination, Liang's mother's physical condition at that time was not suitable for abortion. If she had to abort the baby, it might be harmful to the mother's body. Therefore, even though the couple are both civil servants, the second child was born legally, and the job was not lost. It was a large fine.
The couple were very happy to have an extra son, and they gave him the best in almost everything. Now Liang Qiuzhi is studying in a private high school in the city, and he doesn’t go home even during holidays. Therefore, Yan Chu went to Liang’s house several times. But he has never seen this future brother-in-law.
Looking at my brother-in-law's expression now, it seems that he doesn't like his future brother-in-law very much.
Liang Qiuzhi really doesn't like this unattractive and even rustic brother-in-law in front of him. In his opinion, his sister looks good and has a good job. If it wasn't because of his father's illness that he came back from Shanghai, he wouldn't be looking for this brother-in-law in front of him now.
In fact, he also couldn't understand why the elder sister was satisfied with the man in front of him. Even in this small county, there are many outstanding young people. An ordinary primary school teacher with a frustrating appearance, how can he introduce this to others in the future? brother-in-law.
Liang Qiuzhi, who has a strong temperament in the second grade, puts his hands in his trouser pockets, and wants to express his position on Yan Chu's fondness for answering.
"This child is rude."
Liang's mother patted her son and asked him to settle down. The older generation didn't have so many requirements for picking a son-in-law. Liang Zhizhi and Liang Qiuzhi didn't think Yan Chu's appearance was good, but in the eyes of the older generation, this kind of appearance was down-to-earth. It's not easy to do seven twists and threes outside, that's what you should look for when looking for a son-in-law.
Besides, they have also inquired about the behavior of the Yan family's mother and son, and they all said that they are usually friendly and have hardly ever seen them blushing with anyone. Their daughter knows it herself. She looks quiet and well-behaved on the outside. She is weird and has a big temper. Finding an honest man who can tolerate her is the highest request of the couple.
Anyway, the meeting this time came to a successful conclusion due to the enthusiasm of the elders, the hypocrisy of Liang Zhizhi and Yan Chu, and Liang Qiuzhi's low heart.
On the fifteenth day of their blind date, Yan Chu and Liang Zhizhi went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate, and there was only one wedding short.
This kind of speed is considered fast in relatively backward small counties. After all, free love is emphasized now, even if it is a blind date, at least two or three months have to be together, and Yan Chu and Liang Zhizhi seem to have each other. Just skipped that stage and went straight to the post-marriage.
Now that he has obtained the certificate, some of Liang Zhizhi's belongings have also begun to be moved to Yan's house.
The other party seemed to be in a hurry. Even though the Yan family didn't buy a new house, they still planned to live with Liang Guifen. Liang Zhizhi had no objection at all, suppressed some objections from her parents, and nodded in agreement directly. It wasn't that she didn't want to live in a new house, but that she The child in her belly couldn't be delayed, and now she could only hold on to Yan Chu and not let her plan change in any way.
The wedding of the two is scheduled to be on Sunday, two weeks later, and both parties have already started notifying their relatives and friends. On this day, Liang Guifen cooked a large table of dishes, because her daughter-in-law plans to move here before the wedding, and she will start to adapt to the future. life.
"We will be a family in the future, and we must work together to make our life prosperous."
Liang Guifen sat at the main seat, looking at her son and daughter-in-law who were sitting on her left and right respectively, she felt extremely happy in her heart.
"Mom, don't worry, Yan Chu and I will be filial to you and give you a big fat grandson as soon as possible." Liang Zhizhi smiled and poured the bottle of red wine she brought for the three of them, coaxing Liang Guifen and Yan Chu Chu drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
"Isn't Mom the kind of old lady who favors boys over girls? Mom is also happy when you give birth to a granddaughter." Liang Guifen's alcohol capacity is average, and she drank two or three times the red wine, and her tongue became a little bit loud when she spoke.
Liang Zhizhi gave the old lady a hard look in his heart, what kind of granddaughter, she is going to give birth to a son, a dead old woman, will she still talk, if she gives birth to a girl this time, let's see how she will deal with her.
Liang Zhizhi kept trying to persuade him to drink, but he drank very little. Liang Guifen fell down first, and Yan Chu and her helped the old lady back to the room, and then she continued to persuade Yan Chu to drink.
The bottle of red wine she brought was completely drunk by Yan Chu, and the other party also drank the two bottles of wine that were placed as decorations in the wine cabinet at home, but his face was not red and his heart was beating, as if he was okay.
Liang Zhizhi's heart was about to get angry, even if the wine didn't have the strength, the medicine should have.
Yan Chu teased her for more than an hour, seeing that her anxious face was turning blue, he put on a dazed look and lay down on the table.
