He's mother finally came to her senses at this time, shook her head and sighed, "No wonder the Yang family's sister-in-law told me so much, and went around for a long time to convince me not to recruit a son-in-law and let the two children get married at both ends, haha, To put it bluntly, it worries me to death."
Father He said, "I just said that you women don't speak openly enough. It's not like me and the third child, who talk straight to the point."
He's mother smiled, "Okay, okay, if you guys can just be straightforward and cheerful, then we can agree to this?"
Father He took a puff of cigarette.
I smoke a few puffs when I'm in a bad mood, and I smoke a few puffs when I'm in a good mood, but not much at ordinary times.
When Mother He saw Father He blow out a few puffs of smoke rings, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed a bit.
Father He said calmly: "We will definitely agree to this. Xiao An is such a good child. We know very well that the Yang family is easy to get along with. We Lian'er, I didn't expect to be blessed." but,"
"But what?"
"As for my daughter, you'd better find out what she wants. Maybe we think it's good, but she doesn't think so. If she doesn't like it, then no matter how good the thing is, we can only give up!"
"Haha..." Mother He smiled, waved her hands and said, "Don't worry, there is no way your daughter will be unhappy. You can't tell what she is thinking, but I know it all."
"oh?"
"Well, it's true."
"Ha, my daughter is older, okay, okay. However, you should find an opportunity to mention this to her. After letting her know, we can go and reply. She has been waiting for us at the restaurant these days. Where’s the news.”
"Okay, you take a nap first, and I'll go check on the kitchen."
"good."
After He's mother left, He's father did not lie down. Instead, he came to the corner of the room with a cane. There was a wooden shelf next to the wall, and there was a spiritual tablet on the shelf.
Father He took three incense sticks and lit them in the incense burner placed in front of the spiritual tablet.
"Qingsong, have you heard everything? Our family will soon get married to the old Yang family. Dad likes Lian'er and Xiao An. You should be very satisfied with Xiao An, right? After all, he is your good brother."
"Son, if only you were alive..."
"You have a spirit in heaven to bless their marriage to go smoothly and everyone to be well, ah!"
In the kitchen.
He Lian'er not only washed the pots and bowls, but also wiped the pots and lids until they were almost spotless.
When He's mother came in, He Lian'er was squatting on the ground, scraping the soot from the bottom of the iron pot with a stiff loofah bag.
In order to make it easier to work, she wore two long black braids today. The two braids hung down to her chest and swayed gently with the movements of her hands.
He has an oval face, a fair and clean face with delicate and clear features, and he is full of energy when he hums a song.
Mother He walked over with a smile in her eyes.
"Lian'er, everything is packed?"
"Mom, I've packed everything. Just scrape the remaining pot and it's all over, haha."
When He Lian'er smiled, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and little stars seemed to be twinkling in her eyes.
My daughter is so handsome!
He's mother smiled and knelt down in front of He Lian'er, "Lian'er, mother wants to wish you a happy birthday."
He Lian'er paused and looked up at Mother He, confused.
"Mom, what do you mean?"
Mother He looked at her with a smile: "My parents have found a good marriage for you, and it will be settled soon."
"Marriage?" He Lian'er's expression changed immediately. She put down the pot in her hand with a bang and stood up. She said anxiously, "No, I don't want to get married."
Seeing her daughter's anxious and somewhat flustered look, He's mother was stunned.
Then he stood up and said, "Silly girl, you haven't even asked who you want to marry, yet you just refuse? Let me finish what I have to say first!"
"There's no need to ask. He's either the nephew of the chief security officer or the nephew of Mrs. Song, the neighbor next door. During the twelfth lunar month, you often chatted with them, and even praised them like me. I won't marry you if I don't. , I am still young and I will stay at home for a few more years..."
At this moment, He Lian'er was upset and her good mood disappeared.
What came to mind was Xiao An's smiling face, and what he had told her before getting on his horse: My mother and sister-in-law are going to burn incense at a temple in the suburbs in the next two days. I will pick you up and go with your aunt. !
If she was engaged to someone, why would she go out with them to burn incense? Brother Xiao An would definitely keep a distance from her, a married woman. No, no, she didn't want to be engaged or get married!
"Mom, I'm still young, and I can't let go of you and my father. Let me stay with you and take care of you for a few more years. By the way, don't you want me to recruit a son-in-law? Then there's no need to wait a few more years. Year, right? Okay?"
If Mother He didn't have time to speak clearly before, then she deliberately paused a few times later, which was to test her daughter's mind.
This result was entirely within He's mother's guess. But her daughter's irritable look was quite interesting, and Mother He wanted to tease her again.
"Hey, I didn't expect my Lian'er to be so filial. Okay, let's wait a few more years and then I'll go back to your uncle Yang's place..."
"Wait a minute." He Lian'er opened her eyes slightly. Did she hear something wrong?
"Mom, what are you talking about? Whose family?"
Mother He said with a serious face: "The Yang family, haven't they all come to our house to pay New Year's greetings today? Your uncle Yang has proposed marriage to your father..."
"Mom, what's going on? Tell me clearly. Don't tease me!"
He Lian'er tried not to laugh, but the flowers in her heart were blooming uncontrollably.
Not caring that her hands were still stained with ashes from the bottom of the pot, she subconsciously took He's mother's arm, blushed and coquettishly said: "Mom..."
Mother He smiled and pinched He Lian'er's nose gently.
"My mother understands what you're worried about, and that's it."
"Mom, please tell me more, what's going on!"
Whether it was marriage or a son-in-law, did the uncle of the Yang family arrange the marriage for brother Xiaoan, or did he do it for other marriageable men of the Yang family? Mom, it’s true, I’m so anxious just by saying it.
He's mother was almost done teasing her, and then she took He Lian'er and talked about this matter in detail.
He Lian'er's heart finally settled in her stomach.
The secret joy in my heart has already overflowed onto my face.
Two marriages?
Both sides are home, she likes it.
What she was even more happy about was that she could finally marry brother Xiao An.
And brother Xiao An... is also willing to marry her, which is great, great, great.
"You girl, you can do this in front of your mother. You have to be reserved in front of outsiders, otherwise you will be looked down upon." Mother He warned with a look of helplessness.
He Lian'er nodded shyly.
"Then... how about settling this matter?" He's mother asked again.
He Lian'er lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Everything is decided by my parents."
After saying that, he covered his face and ran back to his house.
