Chapter 411
"We're talking about someone." Su Xing nodded, "Did you go to Fourth Uncle's house just now?"
"I went over and took a look. Your fourth uncle bought a van." Wang Chunlan nodded, "It's good. Now we have a partner. Just now he said that he would find a matchmaker to propose marriage."
"I took his car back, and met Ran Ran and Su Jin on the way. He told me about this while we were in the car. The parents of both parties would meet, set a date for the wedding, and go to the city to have a wedding ceremony."
Su Xing said, "At that time, relatives and friends will charter a car to go to a hotel in the city to have dinner."
Su Xing didn't specifically emphasize that he was going to his own restaurant. There are some things that don't need to be emphasized. Talking too much would be troublesome and would make Wang Chunlan worry. Su Changlong didn't say much about business matters when he came back. Until now, no one in the family has said anything.
It was clear that Su Changlong had so much business outside, and only Su Changlong knew some of it, but in fact, what Su Changlong knew was not very detailed.
"How is this person your fourth uncle is talking about? When I went there just now, my fourth uncle said that it was all thanks to you that I was able to talk to the person I am now talking to." Wang Chunlan asked Su Xing.
"She is a very nice person." Su Xing said, "Her name is Zhang Haiyan. I bought a house in Taoyuanju in the town. She sold it to me at that time. She is very polite and polite in dealing with people."
"That's good. The main thing is to look at people. Your fourth uncle is not young anymore. Now that he has a partner, once they get married and have children for a lifetime, the two old people can rest assured." Wang Chunlan also breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, Su Liejun called Su Xing's family, and then the third brother's family. The three brothers from the Su family gathered around a big table to eat.
"The fourth child has a partner now. What I mean is to go to the woman's house as soon as possible to propose marriage and discuss the date." Su Liejun called everyone to come over for dinner. One was to discuss Su Changlong's marriage, and the other was a celebration. "You guys
Among the brothers, the fourth is the youngest, but now that he is almost 30, I have been worried about him.
Marriage. In the past, my family was poor, and when people heard that there were four brothers in the family, they were reluctant to marry their daughter over. They disliked having too many brothers, and were afraid that their daughter would not have a good life if she got married. Now that things are better, family life is better, and the fourth child can talk about it himself
The day after tomorrow, I will take some things with him to the woman’s house to have a look and discuss the marriage.”
There was a big table, more than ten people, more than a dozen kinds of dishes, it was very sumptuous, and everyone chatted while eating.
"What are the conditions in the woman's family?" Li Xiaoyun asked.
"Her family is also in a rural area. The conditions are not good or bad. She also has an older brother who went to university and works in a research institute. He gets a national salary and is an iron rice bowl." Luo Wenjuan had long known about Zhang Haiyan from Su Changlong.
Regarding the situation at home, "This marriage cannot be ambiguous. There is a college student in the family. The fourth child did not continue to go to school after finishing junior high school. It is inevitable that others will look down upon him. When you go to his house the day after tomorrow, bring more things with you, so as not to be looked down upon.
Already."
"What's wrong with college students? College students may not make as much money as the fourth child." Li Xiaoyun said, "The fourth child has bought a car. Does he have a car at home?"
"This is not a car? This is a van." Su Changsheng corrected him, "Whether there is a car or not, my brother has gone to school and is knowledgeable. This is true. I need to bring more things with me during the Chinese New Year.
I have cured a few legs of lamb, and I still have one at home. I will take it with me when the time comes. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy this thing."
"The fourth child visited her partner's home before, and his parents did not object and approved of it. Now do we have to prepare to see which relatives we want to invite?" Wang Chunlan said.
"So soon?" Li Xiaoyun asked, "I'll go to her house and propose marriage in two days. It won't be too late to discuss it again, right?"
"Let's add it all up now." Luo Wenjuan agreed with what Wang Chunlan said, "There is no need to wait so long for something that is inseparable. I have to write the letter one month in advance. What I mean is that at the beginning of next month, it happens to be May Day, and the wedding will be held.
It’s done.”
It's been a long time since the whole family gathered around a table to eat like this. After the brothers got married and separated their families, even during the Chinese New Year, they would always set up a table in their own small home with their wives, children, or two.
Old people eat New Year's dinner together.
When you are poor, you tend to worry about everything. There are many problems when eating together. The difference between oil, rice, firewood and salt is very clear. If a family has to pay more, they will not be willing to do it. If the family has to pay less, it is difficult to classify this kind of thing.
Only when the family has money and becomes richer, these problems will not become a problem, and they can have meals and discuss things together like this.
Together they totaled up the people to be invited, and Su Liejun specially found a small notebook to write them down one by one.
"Brother doesn't know if he will have time to come back." Li Xiaoyun said.
"His brother got married, why didn't he come back?" Su Liejun said, "I have to come back even if I take leave."
Su Liejun wrote down Su Changguo's name on the paper, and then calculated: "My old Su family still has some relatives. Counting them one by one, there are nearly seventy or eighty people."
"That would require about ten tables. I'm afraid there won't be enough space at home," Li Xiaoyun said.
"Instead of having wine at home, go to the city to have wine." Su Xing said.
Ten tables can actually be made at home, with three tables in the yard and a few more tables downstairs and upstairs.
"Going to the city?" Li Xiaoyun glanced at Su Xing, "Then it will be more respectable. The woman's family probably won't say anything more."
After Su Changlong's marriage was almost settled, Su Liejun said: "Let's get up early tomorrow, go to the grave, and fire off a few cannons. The life of the old Su family will become better and better. Please spend more money on them.
Let them be happy too."
After going back after dinner, Su Hao found Su Xing's home: "Do you still have your notes from junior high school? Can you lend them to me?"
"My notes were borrowed by Yu Lu." Su Xing said, "Go and ask her directly when you get to school. She should have almost used up all of them by now. The high school entrance examination will be in more than two months. I'm afraid it's too late, right?"
"I still have to study even if I don't have time." Su Hao had a strong desire to study. "If I can't pass the high school entrance examination this time, I will repeat it for a year. I don't want to work anymore, so I'd better study."
Su Xing smiled: "Now you finally know how to study?"
"You don't know how good studying is until you have worked." Su Hao nodded, with lingering fear, "Carrying ash buckets and cement doesn't seem too tiring, but it is more tiring than doing farm work. I can't be lazy. My hands are sore and swollen after only one day.
Even though the weather is cold, it’s still comfortable to be in the classroom.”
Su Hao didn't work with Su Changlong for a full month. He only did four and a half days of work and then ran home to go back to school.
I became more serious about my studies later on. When I came back from the Qingming Festival holiday, I even asked Su Xing to borrow my notes, which was rare.
