After confirming that she was about to have a great-grandson, Grandma Qu was ecstatic.
That's right, in the old lady's subconscious mind, she had already determined that she was pregnant with a boy, and she had been clamoring to go back to her hometown and visit the graves of Qu Lianjie's grandfather and great-great-grandfather.
Qu Lianjie stepped forward to persuade with a bitter look on his face: "Grandma, we have just come back, we should wait a few days before going back~"
Zheng Fen echoed: "Mom, Lian Jie is right. Besides, Guan Guan cannot live without people~"
After being persuaded by her daughter-in-law and grandson, the old lady stopped mentioning the matter of returning to her hometown. She was just in a rather excited mood and said it casually.
Seeing that the old lady was still standing, Qu Lianjie quickly helped her to the sofa, "Grandma, sit down first~"
After the excitement was over, Zheng Fen got down to business and said to her son: "Lianjie, when do you and Guan Guan plan to get married?"
"It should be as soon as possible. Guan Guan is probably notifying her parents~" Qu Lianjie rested his head on his grandma's lap and let the old lady touch his hair.
Zheng Fen warned: "You have to hurry up on this matter, otherwise you will become pregnant in a few months~"
Qu Lianjie nodded, then raised his head and asked, "Grandma, do you think the wedding banquet will be held in Shanghai or back home?"
"It's the same everywhere~" Grandma Qu smiled and stroked her grandson's forehead.
Although she said so, she still hoped to return to her hometown, where the Qu family was rooted. However, the old lady was more sensible and would not trouble her children and grandchildren because of her own likes and dislikes.
At the same time, Guan Ju'er was also confessing on the phone to his parents, but I don't know if it was because of fear in his heart. The awkward conversation lasted almost half an hour and he still didn't get to the point.
Guan's mother on the other end of the phone was helpless, and finally asked directly: "Guan Guan, do you have something to tell your parents?"
"Uh, how do you know~" Guan Ju'er felt a little embarrassed when his mother said this.
"Just tell me if you have anything to do. What are you afraid of?"
Guan Mu, who knows her daughter well, has already made a lot of guesses in her mind about what her daughter will say.
Guan Juer decided to get a vaccination first: "Mom, I told you, don't be angry!"
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you get into trouble. We are so far away and I can't hit you!" Guan's mother joked.
In fact, she is impatient and can't stand such hesitation. At this moment, she wants to ask her daughter directly, are you pregnant?
Guan Ju'er was silent for a few seconds, and finally gritted his teeth and whispered: "Mom, I have it!"
"I know, you should contact Lian Jie and see when his mother is free. Our two families can meet!" Guan's mother said in a calm tone.
But after saying this, I sighed in my heart. After all, I know I know, but it still feels a bit unpleasant to hear it from my daughter’s mouth. The precious daughter I have raised for 23 years is now going to be a mother.
At the same time, he nodded to his husband, which meant that his previous guess was correct.
Guan's father was not too sad because he was mentally prepared, but he was itching with hatred in his heart. He planned to see that brat again and couldn't let him go easily.
On the other hand, Guan Ju'er on the other end of the phone was a little confused. How could his mother be so calm? According to previous assumptions, the least she could do was scold herself severely?
Driven by curiosity, she cautiously asked the phone: "Mom, why are you so calm? Don't you blame me?"
Guan's mother heard the words and said earnestly: "What can you do to blame? Everything that should have happened has happened. Lian Jie's kid is not bad. I feel relieved to leave you to him!"
In fact, if it had been anyone else, Guan's mother would have been furious about her daughter's pregnancy out of wedlock, but after all, Qu Lianjie introduced it himself, so she was more accepting of it.
"Min Tao~" Guan's father kept gesturing to his wife to turn on the speakerphone. He wanted to say a few words to his daughter.
Guan's mother glared at her husband at first, but she still put the phone on the coffee table and turned on the speakerphone.
"Guan Guan, why don't you go home directly? After all, you are very heavy now. If you rent a house to live there, the food you eat is not nutritious~" Guan's father said with a distressed look on his face.
"Your dad is right, it's better to resign and go home~" Guan's mother agreed.
She had been thinking about this before, but she forgot to mention it.
Although Guan Ju'er was touched by his parents' concern, he still said indifferently:
"Mom, aren't you making a fuss out of a molehill? Besides, I just passed the exam. It would be a pity to resign now~"
"You child, you are pregnant now, and your parents are still so far away from you. Why don't you listen to my advice? Resign your job and come back!" Guan's mother habitually raised her voice.
"Mintao, pay attention to your attitude~" Guan's father reminded his wife in a low voice.
Guan's mother pursed her lips and her tone slowed down a bit: "Mom and dad are going to Shanghai tomorrow, let's talk over there~"
"Ah, what are you doing here?" Guan Ju'er asked in surprise.
Guan's mother was helpless when asking this question:
"Everything I just said is in vain. Of course, we are discussing marriage with Lianjie's parents. Otherwise, your belly is getting bigger and bigger. Your dad and I can't afford to embarrass this person~"
"Oh~" Guan Ju'er was a little embarrassed. She was a little nervous just now and really forgot what her mother said.
After Guan Ju'er chatted with his parents for a few more words, he hung up the phone and then lay on the bed with relief.
It's strange to say that his mother never hit him since he was a child, but Guan Ju'er couldn't explain why, he was just afraid.
…
The next day, Qu Lianjie learned from Guan Ju'er last night that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were coming. Although he did not go there in person because he was at work, he asked the driver to drive to Wuxi to pick him up.
At noon, Qu Lianjie was eating when he received a WeChat message from the driver on his phone:
"Mr. Qu, my sister-in-law's parents have been sent to your home. I will go back to the company right away~"
"No need, just stay there, I'll take a taxi back~" After Qu Lianjie replied to WeChat, he speeded up his meal.
It was said to be a taxi, but there were hundreds of people working in the company. How could the boss ask the boss to take a taxi? Why didn't Secretary Chen Tao drive his Ma 6 and personally take Qu Lianjie home.
As soon as Qu Lianjie entered the house, he changed into his slippers and went straight to the living room, but he saw something that surprised him.
He couldn't help but ask: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come?" It was Qu Datou who spoke. His face was covered with black lines at the moment, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with what his son had just said.
"I remember not calling you?" Qu Lianjie touched his head.
Just as Qu Datou was about to reply, Zheng Fen answered the question: "It was me who called your dad~"
Qu Lianjie didn't say anything after hearing this. He turned around and greeted Guan's father and mother with a smile: "Uncle, aunt~"
"You kid, why did you send someone to pick up your uncle and me? In fact, we can just take the high-speed rail~"
Guan's mother also heard from her daughter about the complicated relationship in the prospective son-in-law's family, so she was not surprised by what just happened.
Finally, the two families started talking about business.
At this time, Zheng Fen first glanced at her mother-in-law, then at Qu Datou, then suddenly stood up and bowed.
Upon seeing this, Guan's father and Guan's mother quickly stood up.
Guan's mother stepped forward and helped Zheng Fen up: "Sister Zheng, what are you doing~"
Zheng Fen also straightened her waist:
"What Lian Jie did was inappropriate. As a mother, I apologize to you on his behalf. But since it has already happened, let's discuss the marriage of our two children~"
