"You think too much." Yang Huazhong said angrily. He knocked the edge of the table with the dry tobacco pole in his hand: "If you really get married and live together, the affection will naturally come after you have children. Young people The momentary impulse is no match for the long-term polishing of vegetables, rice, oil and salt!"
"Our family is just an open-minded family. With our children, look at other families in our village. Which one of them didn't have their parents find a matchmaker to marry them? Aren't they living a smooth life then?"
"There are some things that you have to think about, but some things can't stand the thought. Listen to me. Let's bite the bullet and be strong this time. Isn't it good to marry a wife and bring children into the family? It has to be If you send a son out to marry someone, he will be laughed at and treated as if our old Yang family cannot afford a wife and raise grandchildren!"
"Dad, I haven't spoken much before. There are some things I want to say, and it's not convenient for me to say them in front of Xiao An. But now that he's not here, I want to talk to you carefully."
Yang Ruoqing got her script and started to appear.
"Qing'er, dad knows that you have an idea, but you can't persuade dad on this matter. It's impossible to get married!" Yang Huazhong waved his hand. At this moment, his tone and momentum of speaking were a bit like those of the family back then. The leader is Lao Yangtou.
Back then, Lao Yangtou was not as fatuous as he is now. Back then, Lao Yangtou was an upright old man who cared about face, took the overall situation into consideration, and was responsible.
It is precisely because old Yangtou has had so many shining points that he can teach brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou such upright conduct.
"Dad, don't worry, I haven't thought about pushing my younger brother out to get married," Yang Ruoqing said.
Hearing this statement of position, Yang Huazhong was obviously relieved.
Yang Ruoqing, as his sister, loves Xiao An, and Yang Huazhong sees it right in his eyes. He is really worried that his daughter will help persuade him, which will be really difficult.
Fortunately, my daughter is not confused. She and our old Yang family are on the same page.
"However, I watched Xiao An grow up. Da An, Hua Duo'er and I are all happily married. If Xiao An is depressed here, we, as sisters and brothers, will feel uncomfortable."
Yang Huazhong frowned again.
"Nothing is perfect in the world. You are you and he is he. There are so many girls in the world, how can he have to fall in love with that little girl from the He family? Oh! A bad fate!"
"Dad, it's fate, it's fate, God has arranged it the best!"
Yang Huazhong suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Ruoqing warily: "Daughter, what do you mean? You said before that you didn't persuade me?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and waved her hands hurriedly, "Dad, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"I'm thinking, if we can find a way to get the best of both worlds, which can satisfy Xiao An's long-cherished wish without getting married, wouldn't it be perfect?"
"What can we do? Qing'er, tell me quickly." Sun was extremely anxious.
As a mother, what she fears most is seeing her son unhappy.
If he gets ruthless and really doesn't want anyone's girl, what can he do if he bites the bullet and becomes a bachelor?
"When I was in the south many years ago, I encountered a marriage between two local children. The situation was the same, but because the methods of handling the problem were different, the results were completely different."
When Yang Ruoqing was talking, she walked around between Yang Huazhong and Sun, put one hand on the shoulder of an elder, and spoke affectionately.
"The situations of both men and women are similar. Both families are only children. Their families are very well off, so they can be said to be well-matched."
"The couple in front were very stubborn. The man insisted on marrying and the woman insisted on recruiting a son-in-law. They talked several times and broke up. The woman's parents got angry and hired a man from a poor family to be their daughter's son-in-law. The man’s parents on the other side also made an engagement for their son. As a result, on the girl’s wedding night, her childhood sweetheart jumped into the wedding room from the window. The two hugged each other and cried and were about to elope. The groom happened to come in and bump into him. The lover was afraid of making a noise and ran away. If you don’t drop it, you kill the groom by mistake..."
"ah?"
Mrs. Sun was so shocked that she covered her mouth, as if the young man who killed someone was Xiao An.
Yang Huazhong was also upset and looked solemn.
"What happens next? You must pay with your life for killing someone, and the bridegroom is also the life and heart of his parents..." asked Sun in a trembling voice.
Yang Ruoqing sighed regretfully, "Hey, the lover was punished and had his head chopped off. The girl was so sad that she went crazy. I heard that she died half a year later..."
Mrs. Sun took a breath, shook her head slightly, and sighed.
"What about the other couple?" Yang Huazhong asked in a muffled voice.
"You won't die too crazy, right?" Mrs. Sun also asked.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Another pair of male and female parents took a different approach. They sat together to discuss a solution that would satisfy both parties."
The three people in front of them raised their six ears at the same time.
"The woman will not marry, the man will not marry, new things will be done, the two families will form one family, the daughter will be the daughter-in-law, the son-in-law will be the son, both families are homes, both sides will have wedding rooms, and the children born will be discussed in advance, regardless of gender. Only in order of birth, the first child will take the man’s surname, the second child will take the woman’s surname, and so on to avoid any disputes.”
"What? Can we get married like this?" Yang Huazhong was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the table.
Sun's face was also full of confusion. After living for most of his life, this was the first time he heard that it could be like this.
Da'an immediately understood what Yang Ruoqing meant, and he clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea. New things, new things to do, the best of both worlds. Both sides are home, and the parents of both sides can support each other and be filial to each other!"
Seeing that Yang Ruoqing and Da'an both said yes, Sun felt it was good instinctively.
"Dad, this method is feasible, how about... let's try it too?" She gently tugged on Yang Huazhong's sleeve and asked tentatively.
Yang Huazhong was silent.
"His father..." Mrs. Sun called again.
Yang Huazhong still didn't respond, but it could be seen from the knotted eyebrows that Yang Ruoqing said so much and gave two examples for comparison, but it did not completely convince him as expected.
"Dad..." Yang Ruoqing just called, and Yang Huazhong suddenly stood up.
"This method won't work, I won't agree to it!"
Yang Ruoqing was a little stunned by these categorical words.
According to previous guesses, even if you can't convince him once, you can at least loosen his attitude, right?
But this tone didn't seem to loosen him at all, and it even strengthened his determination.
"What doesn't work? Dad, tell us and we can discuss it later?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
She also risked her life for her brother's happiness.
"It won't work anywhere. In short, I won't agree to do this. Not to mention that we have to spend a lot of effort to convince the villagers, relatives and friends to accept this matter. Even we can't convince ourselves. What does it mean that both sides are home? It’s completely a cover-up!"
"Also, the ones named Yang are our grandchildren. What about the ones named He? Are they our grandsons?"
"Nonsense, absolutely nonsense!"
Yang Huazhong was so angry that he also left the house with his hands behind his back, leaving Sun and Yang Ruoqing's sister and brother Da'an staring at each other.
