Chapter 687: Tying the Knot
Qiao Hongliang went home and told his parents about the time to meet Professor Yan tomorrow, and then he was left by his parents to ask about the situation of the Yan family.
When they learned that the Yan family's population was simple, but the family was well-off, they began to worry, and they still had to think about tomorrow's meeting gift.
"Abba and Auntie, I have prepared a meeting gift for the teacher, it is a calligraphy and painting that I have restored, and a "Night Banquet Picture" that I copied"
"That's it?" Father Qiao frowned, feeling that the salute was a little lighter.
"The teacher likes calligraphy and painting, and if he has other hobbies, he likes to eat sweets, especially wine-stuffed balls. ”
When Qiao's mother heard this, she glanced at Qiao Hongliang, and it seemed that he knew his teacher quite well.
"Xiaoliang, then according to what you said, two pairs of calligraphy and paintings, let's add four more to make six, this is a list, you see. ”
Mother Qiao said and handed over a piece of paper, which she had just modified.
Qiao Hongliang glanced at it and nodded: "A-Niang, that's okay." ”
"Okay, let's all go and rest, and we'll leave early tomorrow. Qiao's mother made a decision, and the family washed up and prepared to sleep.
Qiao Jiayue helped Qiao's mother burn the kang in the wing room, spread the mattress, and then went back to her house.
She couldn't sleep, so she clicked on the entrance to the basement, and the third brother said that he had bought all the medicinal herbs back and stacked them in the basement.
It takes time to concoct medicinal materials, so it will take ten days and half a month for the pills to be made at the earliest, and as Yan Danfeng's belly grows bigger day by day, this matter cannot be delayed any longer.
Qiao Hongzhi had already been lying on the kang for a long time, reading a book casually, and when he saw that Qiao Hongliang was also on the kang, he immediately came over.
"Xiaoliang, I really can't see it, your speed. Qiao Hongzhi gave a thumbs up.
Qiao Hongliang glanced at Qiao Hongzhi lightly, "Big brother, you're happy early." He could more or less guess the psychology of his eldest brother, but he felt that his marriage had reduced his pressure.
But in reality, how is this possible?
Qiao Hongzhi glanced at Qiao Hongliang suspiciously, how could he think the third brother's words were weird.
"Xiaoliang, Xiaoyuan is in the Soviet Union now, and he is not too young, shouldn't he find a foreigner over there?"
Qiao Hongzhi put his hands behind his head, he seemed to have not seen this second brother for several years.
Qiao Hongliang saw that Qiao Hongzhi didn't want to sleep, so he couldn't help sighing and said, "Second brother knows in his heart, as long as he wants to get married, he can get married immediately." ”
"If he marries a foreign daughter-in-law, will he be able to adapt to our living habits?" Qiao Hongzhi wanted to discuss this issue with Qiao Hongliang again.
However, Qiao Hongliang didn't have the heart to gossip with him, so he rolled himself up with the quilt when he lay down.
Seeing this, Qiao Hongzhi had no choice but to hold back the gossip, thinking that he couldn't go in vain when he came to Beijing this time, and he would walk around in a few days when he was free.
The next day, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother took Qiao Hongliang to Yan's house with the prepared meeting gift.
Professor Yan was actually very nervous, he got up early in the morning, changed a few sets of clothes, found someone to buy some vegetables, and invited someone he knew to cook, so he must greet this meal at noon.
The two families came to talk about family affairs with sincerity, and the Yan family had almost no requirements, but in an hour, they not only finalized the contents of the dowry, but also the wedding date.
The idea of the two families is the same, the sooner they get married, the better.
Professor Yan has a wide range of knowledge, and it is no problem for him to pick a good day and an auspicious day.
So, the time was set for January 6, 81.
In addition, Professor Yan didn't want to make a big deal about a series of issues such as banquets, they didn't have any relatives, and Yan Danfeng's grandmother's house didn't have much to do with it, at most, just invite a few close friends to have a meal.
If it was in the Gaoshan Brigade, Qiao Jiayue and their family would have a happy event, and they would not be able to hold twenty tables, but Qiao Hongliang's current situation is special, and it is impossible to go back to his hometown to do it.
So at most, it is enough to invite relatives and friends to have a meal when the child is full moon or one year old.
The two sides reached an agreement, counted the number of people, and decided to set the banquet at Lao Mo's restaurant.
Eating Western food is still something to boast about this year, and it is still very suitable for banqueting guests.
After the two families discussed, lunch was also prepared, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After lunch, Qiao's mother asked Yan Danfeng's opinion and took her to the hospital for examination.
Nowadays people are not used to going to the hospital, and even more so when they are pregnant, and there is rarely the concept of prenatal check-ups.
Qiao Jiayue remembered Qiao Hongliang's affairs in her heart, and she was a little absent-minded in class, and as soon as school was out in the evening, she rushed to the small courtyard.
Then she and Qiao's father and Qiao's mother met at the door, she was very surprised, didn't the marriage go well?
"A-Niang, what's wrong?" After entering the house, Qiao Jiayue took a hot water bottle and poured a bowl of water for Qiao's father and Qiao's mother.
"Your third sister-in-law's appearance is not very good. Qiao's mother said with a frown.
Qiao Jiayue was shocked, "What should I do then?" She must be too late to make medicine now, so she can only buy ready-made ones in the mall, which is expensive.
"The doctor said to put her on bed rest, and I asked your third brother to stay and take care of her and come back later. ”
In fact, according to custom, the two newlyweds should not meet again before marriage, but now that the situation is special, there is nothing to mention.
Qiao Jiayue nodded, "A-Niang, it'll be fine, I'll prepare some fetal pills for the third brother to take for the third sister-in-law to eat." ”
She changed her mind very smoothly.
"Then it's troublesome. Qiao's mother touched Qiao Jiayue's head, "I'll cook." ”
"Auntie, I'll help you. Qiao Jiayue immediately went to help.
Professor Yan didn't think that his daughter would be bad in pregnancy, he couldn't help but think of his wife, who had a difficult birth when he gave birth to his daughter, and died within two years, and he didn't want his daughter to be like this at all.
He wanted to stay and take care of his daughter, but he couldn't stop classes at the school, so he had to go back to school.
Qiao Hongliang has been on leave for a long time, so he can only trouble him to continue to ask for leave, but he can't get a scholarship this semester, and his attendance is not enough.
As for Yan Danfeng's school, he can only suspend his studies first, and then consider resuming school after the confinement.
It's just that what Professor Yan didn't expect was that in the next two days, several old friends passed away one after another, and when he received the obituary, he was still a little confused.
In fact, there are not many old guys who have passed away in the past few years, and they are all people who have achieved in some aspects, but those who have been too bitter in the past for them to survive.
Professor Yan himself had to go to class again, and he was condoling his old friend, and he was tired all of a sudden.
Qiao Hongliang naturally lived in Yan's house and took care of the father and daughter.
Qiao Jiayue bought half a month's worth of medicine from the mall and gave it to Qiao Hongliang, and she was also busy rushing the pills.
For this reason, she specially took a few days off from school.
When Qiao's mother pulled her out of the basement to wash, Qiao Jiayue was still a little confused, and she was just a few medicinal herbs.
"A-Niang, are we going out?" Qiao Jiayue looked at the clothes that Qiao's mother matched for herself, and asked suspiciously.
"Yes, I'll take you to visit an old friend. Qiao's mother nodded and said.
Qiao Jiayue nodded without thinking much.
When she got out of the car with Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, and walked to the iron gate of a bungalow, she saw Deng Ying waiting inside.
Her somewhat sluggish brain reacted, oh, it's from Deng's house, and her heart instantly became nervous.
