When he returned to the city, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, Fang Chaoyang drove the car downstairs to Peng Jiang's house, and then went upstairs together.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of the food, and there were already eight dishes on the table, meat and vegetarian combinations, as well as the braised pork ribs he liked to eat.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Fang Chaoyang said apologetically.

"Rest tomorrow, it's okay to eat a little late. Peng Youming waved his hand and was watching a treasure appreciation program on TV, while Zhuang Yanlai asked Fang Chaoyang to sit down, turned around and went to the kitchen to serve soup.

The future son-in-law has not come to the door often recently, and he has become a distinguished guest, and he has become polite to each other. Thinking of being like a family before, Zhuang Yanlai in the kitchen couldn't help but feel sour and almost cried.

"Chaoyang, I've been very busy lately!" Peng Youming put down the remote control and sat down at the table.

"A few days ago, I went to a foreign place to assist the police in completing a task, and the specific content should be kept secret, so understand more!" Fang Chaoyang said.

"It is understandable that not everything can be made public, and this is also a kind of protection. Peng Youming nodded.

"Hmph, I've been worried for days. Peng Jiang said.

"Not anymore, fortunately I'm a judge, not a policeman, otherwise, you'll have to live a life of fear all day long. Fang Chaoyang said.

"I won't look for the police!" Peng Jiang pouted.

"If Xiao Jiang finds a policeman, I won't agree. Peng Youming half-jokingly.

After Zhuang Yan came to the table, he first served Fang Chaoyang a bowl of egg drop soup, the road was hard, first drink the soup to nourish his stomach, Fang Chaoyang's heart rose warm, this is the life he wants, the family is happy together.

Peng Youming chatted about some things in the unit, and the topic was quickly switched by Zhuang Yanlai to the marriage of the two young people, which is not small, and it is necessary to hurry up.

"Chaoyang, it stands to reason that this matter has to be urged by the man. Zhuang Yanlai said with a smile, but there was a hint of displeasure in his expression, Peng Youming glared at her, only pretended not to see, and sneered: "This is Xiao Jiang's dead heart, if you just met at that time, this attitude, you can't even enter the door!"

"Mom!" Peng Jiang's face changed sharply, but Fang Chaoyang said seriously: "Auntie, if you can say this, it means that you don't treat me as an outsider." My parents didn't know much about the rules in the city, but they were more anxious than the second elder, so they almost beat me. I plan to get engaged to Xiao Jiang first at the end of the month, my hometown has this rule, and I take this matter very seriously, just like getting married. ”

The relaxed and humorous words made Zhuang Yanlai turn his anger into joy, and he suddenly became excited, and hurriedly said: "Okay, Auntie is waiting for this day! Chaoyang, you have been together for so long, you also know that Auntie has always treated you as her own child!"

"Well, in the future, Xiao Jiang and I will also honor the second elder. ”

Fang Chaoyang's words made Zhuang Yanlai smile, but he was a little embarrassed to say the cruel words just now. Peng Jiang was also very happy and asked, "When you get engaged, are you going to change your name to your parents?"

"Yes!" Fang Chaoyang nodded.

In many places, engagement is the same as marriage, which has a very important significance, as a young man in the new era, Fang Chaoyang actually does not advocate it, and it is too much. The rules of his hometown are just excuses, and he also wants to give Peng Jiang a real promise, and no longer make trouble because of misunderstandings.

"Then take a good look at it, book a bigger hotel, and invite relatives and friends. Zhuang Yan said.

"It's not a marriage. Peng Youming disagreed.

"I used to hear Chaoyang say that I wanted to travel and get married, but over the years, I have taken a lot of courtesies. Zhuang Yanlai didn't want to lose this opportunity to recycle the gift money.

"Auntie, my identity is not suitable for big deals. Fang Chaoyang said tactfully.

Hearing Fang Chaoyang say this, Zhuang Yanlai was very insistent and said: "Chaoyang, if you want to travel, just go on your honeymoon." I'm just such a daughter, I can't get married quietly, right?"

"Mom, is the form that important?" Peng Jiang spoke to Fang Chaoyang.

"Of course it's important! What's wrong, other people are beautiful when they marry their daughters, but my daughter is going to be unsightly. Zhuang Yan said, tears couldn't help but flow.

"Mom, Chaoyang came to discuss with you, what are you crying about!" Peng Jiang said.

"Yanlai, I think Chaoyang is right, Chaoyang's identity is very sensitive, everyone wants to have a relationship with him, and it is not suitable to attend crowded occasions. Peng Youming persuaded.

"This has nothing to do with corruption, didn't Lao Zhang of your unit also set up thirty tables for his son to get married?" Zhuang Yanlai said stubbornly.

"Lao Zhang has been mixed all his life, he is an ordinary clerk, he has given up on himself, whether it is his position or future, he can't compare with Chaoyang. Peng Youming was also a little angry.

This kind of scene was also what Fang Chaoyang didn't expect, he originally thought that taking the initiative to get engaged would get the strong support of his future mother-in-law, but the result was that he was very dissatisfied with this form of operation.

After thinking about it, Fang Chaoyang said: "Auntie, don't be angry, it's impossible to do it on a big scale, I have a compromise method." ”

Zhuang Yanlai was angry and didn't speak, Peng Youming said: "Chaoyang, there is nothing wrong with your insistence, marrying a daughter is not selling a daughter, the form is not so important." ”

"I plan to set up two tables at the Haichao Hotel, when my parents and sister will come over, and a few trustworthy friends, each table is planned to be 20,000 yuan, and the money will be paid by me. Fang Chaoyang said.

Haichao Hotel is undoubtedly the most luxurious hotel in Dong'an, and no one has ever dared to hold a wedding banquet there, the cost is too high to afford.

Two tables is 40,000, which is enough to set up forty tables in an ordinary hotel, which is enough to reflect Fang Chaoyang's sincerity.

Zhuang Yan came to see Fang Chaoyang's insistent attitude, sighed slightly, and nodded: "Then listen to Chaoyang's arrangement!"

"Mom, you are engaged at the Haichao Hotel, you have enough face. Peng Jiang said.

"Mom is not for you, as long as you are in harmony in the future, what else can parents want. Zhuang Yanlai changed his tone.

Next, while eating, everyone discussed the details of the engagement, that day, Fang Chaoyang must wear a straight suit, and although Peng Jiang can't wear a wedding dress, he should also wear a dress.

To get married in that kind of place, the car can't be too shabby, Fang Chaoyang said that he will borrow two good cars, and he must make Peng Jiang very face-saving.

When it comes to cars, the next thing is the dowry, Zhuang Yanlai said that after her daughter gets married, it is time for them to change the car.

When he drove back home, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, Fang Chaoyang found out the bank card and transferred 60,000 yuan to Peng Jiang, which was counted as a gift money for the engagement, which was really a little less, and he would make up for it later.

Peng Jiang was very happy and took the money, the family is not short of this money, and it will be two people in the future, Fang Chaoyang's performance made her very satisfied, the form is greater than the content, and it can also block her mother's mouth.

On Monday, as soon as Fang Chaoyang entered the office, Xiao Zhao hurriedly ran in, his face was not very good-looking.

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong?" Fang Chaoyang felt faintly uneasy.
