Chapter Seventy-Two: Marriage
Relying on Hong Yanwu's good mouth, Hong Lucheng finally turned the bend in his heart. no longer obstructs the marriage of Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya.
When Hong Yanwu told Hong Yanwen the news the next day, Hong Yanwen, who had been stranded in the capital for two days, was overjoyed. It was completely a state of mind that met with rain after a long drought and a desperate place.
In order to express his gratitude, he called Xu Chongya out, and the two of them gratefully invited Hong Yanwu to a meal.
Following that night, Hong Yanwen listened to Hong Yanwu's words again, went to the hospital to replace Hong Yanzheng's class, and took care of Hong Lucheng for a night. So the father and son were in harmony.
And this not only made the mood of the Hong family completely settle down. Xu Chongya also felt like she had taken a reassuring pill and told her parents the good news.
To say that Xu Bingquan has been trained in the officialdom, this "Captain of the Tigers" who started by relying on the "left" has now mastered the trick of the "right". He immediately realized that Hong Lucheng's hospitalization was the best chance to reconcile.
With a turn of his mind, he simply asked Hong Yanwen to take two more days off. I made careful preparations, and soon took my wife and daughter to visit Hong Lucheng in the hospital.
He's done a good job. Not to mention the rich gifts, Hong Yanwen led them in, and asked the hospital to change a single ward for Hong Lucheng in person.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand, and in public, their family is so courteous and courteous. No matter how temperamental a person is, it is not good to lose his face in front of him, and it is not interesting to give him.
Sure enough, Hong Lucheng cared so much about decent people, and he couldn't say a word ugly, so he could only thank him lightly.
In this way, as soon as they move into the single ward, the two families will have a private space and discuss the marriage of their children by the way.
First of all, you have to set a date.
Winter is not suitable, the weather is cold, and the main Hong Lu is injured. It's been a hundred days since you hurt your muscles and bones, so how can you heal your injuries before you do it. Then the bright spring "May Day" has become the best choice.
The second is the house.
Xu Bingquan is very active in this regard, not only saying that he will solve the matter of the small two-person unit. Hong Yanwen's transfer back to Beijing is also a big deal.
So logically, the wearing, furniture, and electrical appliances of the young couple are all covered by the Hong family.
As for the last one, what should be done about the wedding banquet? The Hong family still has to ask the Xu family's opinion.
Unexpectedly, Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen were also very good at talking at this point, so they just said that if they went back and counted the list of relatives and friends here, they would all be left to the Hong family, and there was no need to be too extravagant.
In this way, this trouble, which caused both families a headache and was entangled for more than half a year, was finally properly resolved in this way. It's really like the movie "Lushan Love", with a relatively happy ending.
It's just one thing, there is still a gap between the performance content of the movie and real life. Although the marriage between Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya has been decided, it can't be like the ending of a fairy tale, just saying "they will live happily together forever" is over.
How to prepare for the wedding, how to handle it, there are still many troublesome things in the future, and they have to be implemented one by one.
Moreover, although the two families seem to be harmonious and negotiable on the surface, they are not necessarily the same on the outside. After all, they are two families with diametrically opposite values and lifestyles. Who doesn't have to have their own ideas behind it?
For example, the Xu family has a lot of hidden edges in private.
When Yu Wanfen found something to do, she explained everything she felt was important to Xu Chongya one by one. I'm afraid that this girl will be stupid and suffer.
To say this, these two of them are really going to plan for themselves.
Let's talk about the time first, the reason why they readily agreed to the "May Day". In fact, it is also to set aside more time to prepare things for the Hong family, so that the man will not have the excuse of "too late" to be perfunctory.
The only thing that is worrying is that the Hong family may want to spend less money under the excuse that they can't find a ticket.
But that's okay. The Xu family will get tickets for all household appliances and furniture, and will "help" the Hong family with good intentions, and will definitely not make the Hong family "embarrassed".
Secondly, the Hong family has money and no power, and there is definitely no way to deal with the house and the transfer. Since the Xu family is destined to help, it is better to be generous.
The most important thing is that with a house, the daughter does not have to live with her parents-in-law, which can avoid the constraints and fatigue of daily life. And the house should be made bigger, not to mention the decency of the house, the Hong family will buy a lot of things in order to fill it.
As for the wedding banquet, although the Xu family did not mention any conditions on the surface, they would never let the Hong family save it, and they were really thrifty.
Because at that time, the list of the Xu family will have at least seven or eight tables. Just rush this, it is impossible for the Hong family to hold a flowing water banquet at home. Then you have to move to a big restaurant to spread out.
After listening to her mother's calculations for herself, Xu Chongya was stunned. It took a long time for the old man to exclaim. "Ouch, you and my dad are really calculating. ”
Yu Wanfen said with a smug face, "Hmph, what do you know, although the Hong family is rich, there are younger brothers and sisters under Yanwen, don't you want it at this time? I think even the little daughter-in-law in the countryside has more eyes than you. ”
Of course, Xu Chongya was not convinced. Pouted, "Come on." I'm also quite discerning. ”
Facts have proved that Xu Chongya's "heart eyes" are indeed a lot. At least in terms of emotional intelligence, she is much higher than her parents and thinks more long-term.
For example, although she is grateful to her parents for thinking about her, and she does like good things, she loves Hong Yanwen more.
She knew in her heart that it was not easy for her and Hong Yanwen to get to this point, if she really made her in-laws unhappy because of these material requirements, wouldn't it be a stupid thing to put the cart before the horse?
What will I do in the future? Anyway, it is Hong Yanwen's parents. What's more, the Xu family is sorry for others. She didn't want to face the Hong family for the rest of her life and never be able to raise her head.
Therefore, after the family found various bills, Xu Chongya handed them over to Hong Yanwen. In fact, it was not played according to the mother's wishes.
She directly said that she didn't have to do it all, saying that although her parents wanted her to live a decent life, she had to do what she could. Don't embarrass the old man of the Hong family. She even gave her savings of 300 yuan to Hong Yanwen.
Of course, Hong Yanwen was moved, but he didn't accept the money, but said, "Let's go together." But to tell you the truth, I don't usually spend much money except for books, and I have more than 2,000 yuan in my hand. In fact, we can do it ourselves, there is no need to embarrass the family, and I will not wronged you. ”
This was a surprise that Xu Chongya hadn't expected, and she was immediately excited.
"Then let's buy a color TV. It's not easy for my dad to get a color TV ticket. It's a bit more expensive, but if you want to buy black and white, don't you have to change to a color TV sooner or later? On the contrary, you have spent money in vain. ”
Hong Yanwen was a little hesitant about this. It's not that he's afraid of anything else.,It's that he thinks his parents haven't seen color TV yet.,It's a little inappropriate for them to enjoy it first.。
I want to refuse, but I can't open my mouth. Because this is not only the first material requirement that Xu Chongya made to him. And she later added. "I just can't live without the TV, and I don't need other electrical appliances, okay?"
No way, in Xu Chongya's extremely expectant eyes. Hong Yanwen really couldn't say a word "no", so he could only agree first. I slowly figured out how to mention this to my parents.
But in fact, he is also blind and careless, which is purely superfluous. Because this so-called problem does not exist at all.
The second group has been opened, group number: 6086400
