Chapter 614: Fiancé and Fiancée  

Mother Weng understood why Lin Qing He would mention this matter. This was because she was worried that her son would go back and felt that his prospective in-law family wasn't up to standard.

But how could it not be up to standard? They weren't one family. And had separated long time ago. What does second branch had to do with first branch?

Lin Qing He smiled and responded, "I told my eldest sister-in-law the same thing."

"But when we have the banquet next year, in-laws should bring their children." Mother Weng said.

"They'll definitely come." Lin Qing He replied: "Guo Liang didn't come back this year."

"Found a match over there. Her conditions at home are quite good. So, he went to his match's house for the New Year." Mother Weng indifferently answered.

As long as they marry, they will go their separate ways. Mother Weng never worried about this second son. Just the eldest son.

But now, he finally found a match. This it was also considered wish fulfilled.

Lin Qing He chatted with her for a while before returning home.

Zhou Kai took Weng Mei Jia to eat with Father Zhou and Mother Zhou at noon. Old Wang was present.

They had a lively lunch together.

After eating, Zhou Kai sent Weng Mei Jia to old Weng's house. While Father Zhou and Mother Zhou started a discussion.

"Da Wa's match is great. She's beautiful. At first glance, she looks gentle. Plainly speaking, it's no wonder she's a nurse." Mother Zhou sang.

"How can Da Wa's eyes be bad?" Father Zhou was also satisfied with this eldest granddaughter-in-law.

Although old Wang didn't speak, he found no flaw with Weng Mei Jia. If he wasn't satisfied with this, then what would?

"Both of them got salary. It'll be a dual-income family. There is no need to worry about them in the future. There's also insurance. They'll get pensions when they are old." Zhou Xiao Mei commented.

Mother Zhou was happier when she heard it and smiled: "If it weren't for Guo Dong and Si Ni marrying next year, I want them to get married next year."

The earlier they get married, the earlier she can hold her great-grandson.

"How old is he now? Only twenty-two after the new year." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"They can get married long before twenty-two. Didn't Xia Xia married this year?" Mother Zhou refuted.

Zhou Xiao Mei internally remarked that Xia Xia hadn't married a wife. It was clearly an ancestor. Don't know what trouble she was stirring now.

Zhou Xiao Mei had heard from her fourth sister-in-law, but all these things were kept secret. What was there to say? Better not add more stress to her parents.

"If it's not too far, I want to go back and take a look." Mother Zhou sighed with happiness.

Life was so smooth now. It was that good. Fourth's family owned two cars. Eldest Grandson was going to marry a wife. Good news was piling high and there was no chance to go back to the village to tell the other little old ladies. It was a pity.

"Mother, don't toss around. It's such a long journey to go back and forth. You were a few years younger before. When you came over, people had to carry you. If you go back now, can you stand it?" Zhou Xiao Mei disgruntledly said.

"I'm only saying." Mother Zhou responded.

"I heard that the highway has been repaired. The traffic will definitely get better and better in the future. There will be opportunities to go back," Wang Yuan mentioned.

"What's the highway?" Mother Zhou puzzledly asked.

"It's similar to the road in the city. It's very convenient and easy to drive." Wang Yuan said.

"Then I don't know if we can wait for it." Mother Zhou heard this and responded.

"It's the New Year's Day. Save your thoughts!" Father Zhou uttered in displeasure.

Mother Zhou jollily said, "I'm just saying. I think I can live for another 30 years."

Now this life was so good. She can't bear for it to pass so soon. Back when the famine happen, how could she dare to dream of this lifestyle?

The biggest wish was to be able to eat half full. That was an enormous wish, because everyone lived by tightening the belt.

Nowadays, one can eat enough during every meal. They didn't need to go to the field. Meat can be eaten every day. Who could have imagined?

Anyway, Mother Zhou didn't dare to dream about it before. The life of the gods was almost like this.

Otherwise, why else would Mother Zhou desire to go back to her hometown for a trip? Shouldn't she chat with her old friends in her hometown about such good life?

They have never experienced it before, so she have to tell them and let them see how beautiful life was.

For example, this time when her granddaughter went back, Mother Zhou had prepared several roast ducks. There were also several photos. All of which were taken from her early trips to the Great Wall and traveling to other places. She specially had it taken back for her old friends to see.

Mother Zhou remark of living another thirty years made everyone laugh.

Now there was needless to say about this life. Only after experiencing the previous lifestyle will one know how good this life was now.

Of course, the young ones, who emerged from 1980 onward, can be said that they won at the starting line.

Lin Qing He came over in the afternoon and talked about the engagement.

"That's wonderful. Should get engaged. In my opinion, this girl is great. If she was in the village, the entrance door will be flattened by the matchmakers within the ten miles and eight villages." Mother Zhou remarked.

"Then it'll be the same if your grandson stays in the village." Lin Qing He merrily responded.

Mother Zhou was overjoyed and beamed: "Your father and I had always grumbled that you spend too much money and what to do when it's time to marry a wife? Now Da Wa is like this, even if he doesn't have a job, those young ladies can't wait to marry him."

"That's too exaggerated." Zhou Xiao Mei spoke: "Marry a man for food and clothes. If he got nothing, how can any girl be willing."

"There are. As long as the guy looks reliable enough to hold up the family and don't mess around with flowers and grass outside. In fact, a woman can also support the family. Finding such a guy to mind the house and raise children is actually quite good." Lin Qing He said.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, did you just raise my fourth brother like this?" Zhou Xiao Mei teased.

"Yes, but your fourth brother isn't willing to enter this role. He wanted to open a dumpling shop by himself." Lin Qing He grinned.

"It's better that a man support his family. What does it look like to put all the on a woman." Mother Zhou smilingly commented.

"As long as you don't blame me for being strong-willed." Lin Qing He grinned.

Like this, the engagement banquet was decided. When the time comes, just over this side to eat. Let the elder and relatives witness it.

The engagement banquet happened on the 28th day of December.

Everyone came over and drank a glass of wedding wine. Even little Mi Mi joined everyone in the engagement banquet's photo. This considered as participating her eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law's engagement banquet.

Buzzing, Zhou Kai and Weng Mei Jia became fiancé and fiancée.

However, after the wedding banquet, Lin Qing He was busy. Because the dry good shop was particularly prosperous.

Third's dumpling shop was closed. Early in the morning, he and his second brother went over to help sell dry goods.
