Chapter 73: Mother-in-law Meets Son-in-law
"Let's go up and sit down for a while, Mom is here."
Zhao Hong held Qin Wafan's hand and didn't let go.
"Let's go."
Qin Wafan smiled and was led upstairs by her.
Zhao Hong's family lives on the third floor, and the six-story tower has no elevator, and the location on the third floor is just right. When she entered the door, Zhao's mother got up and made tea to greet her son-in-law as soon as she saw her prospective son-in-law coming. Qin Wafan hurried over to help.
Zhao Hong's father died early, leaving behind his daughter and wife, who were only ten years old at the time. Zhao's mother didn't look for anyone else, she took her daughter to live wholeheartedly, she started doing odd jobs in some restaurants, and then her daughter was admitted to Qinfang No. 1 Middle School for a high school, she just saved money for a few years, and opened a commissary at the door of Qinfang No. 1 Middle School, the business is good, and she is alone for her daughter to finish college.
Now that her daughter has a stable job, she is looking for this prospective son-in-law, on the one hand, she listens to her daughter, it is the local old Qin family, she has also heard of it, and she graduated from the same university as her daughter, and now teaches in the same school, and people don't mind her daughter's age of one year older, she has seen this young man a few times later, with a gentle personality, generous-hearted, and self-motivated, and does things in a disciplined and principled manner, not impatient, and can see that she really likes her daughter, cares for her, and listens to her daughter's ideas in everything, it seems that he is a good guy who can be trusted, naturally, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she loves it.
But to what extent her daughter and her prospective son-in-law get along, she doesn't know. No matter where her daughter and Qin Wafan go out to play, they will be sent back, and they will never spend the night outside, she is quite relieved, of course, she doesn't know that her daughter is pregnant.
"Xiao Qin, come, drink tea."
Zhao's mother poured a cup of tea for her son-in-law-to-be, looked at him with a smile and smiled. Zhao's mother is not a person who talks a lot, compared to her daughter, she can probably be regarded as a quiet mother.
"Thank you, Auntie."
After meeting Zhao's mother several times, Qin Wafan knew that he needed to talk more. But he is not a person who talks a lot, so he slowed down his tone, said something, cared about the business of the old man's store when he had nothing to do, and then asked if there was anything he needed help, and then he cared more about the diet and daily life of the old man, or listened to the old man talk about some things when Zhao Hong was a child and when he was studying.
"Auntie, I discussed it with Ah Hong, do you see if you have time the day after tomorrow, we will get together as a family and have a meal together, which can be regarded as a formal acquaintance?"
Qin Wafan asked. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Hong is the same as a good girl, she doesn't speak, just listens with a smile, and interjects two more sentences when it is necessary to listen in the middle.
"There is time and time, and the time on my side is easy to arrange, you just need to look at the arrangement. We know your parents, and we used to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and we were very satisfied with you and Honghong. I guess I've met your parents before, this county is so big, I didn't expect that the two families will become a family, ah, we are so happy that we shed tears! ”
Zhao's mother is an emotional person, and she wiped her tears with her fingers as she spoke.
Qin Wafan also became sad, took a tissue and handed it to Zhao's mother.
He knows Zhao's mother's thoughts, her daughter is older, with many years of hard work, watching from a little girl to a beautiful girl, and she wants to leave her side and go to someone else's house to be a daughter-in-law, although it is the same city, but after all, it is different, it is inevitable to sigh, and then think of Zhao Hong's father, and finally be able to give him an explanation, but unfortunately he can't see it, and he can't help but be sad.
"Auntie, don't be sad, no matter when, you are my and Zhao Hong's mother, and the grandmother of our children in the future. We come to see you at any time, you see, it's just east and west of the city, it's five minutes away by motorcycle, and you can eat together every day. Besides, you are in the commissary every day, we will bring you after work, noon or between classes, you can see you at any time, there is nothing different from before, to say different, that is, we are two into one, more can chat with you and talk to the partner, but also more people to love you, of course, in the future there will be more little nephews you love. “
Qin Wafan comforted the old man's heart. He glanced back at Zhao Hong, and was looking at Zhao Hong affectionately, so he pulled Zhao Hong's hand with his hand, and then pulled Zhao's mother's hand, and the hands of the three of them were together:
"Auntie, Honghong, in the future, our family will love each other, and the days will definitely become more and more prosperous."
"Well, Auntie listens to you young people, and I believe in you, together, we will definitely be able to live a better life!"
Mother Zhao also nodded with tears in her eyes, and said with a smile:
"Hey, I'm old, I can't stop crying at every turn, if in the past, no matter how bad or good, I didn't shed tears, what's the use of shedding tears, and it can't solve the problem, right? However, now it's time to relax, and you don't have to tighten the strings as before, either worrying about the life of the mother and son, or worrying about your daughter being bullied......"
Probably remembering how difficult it was to raise her daughter alone in the past, Zhao's mother involuntarily fell a big tear on her arm.
"Mom-"
Zhao Hong saw that her mother was sad, and she couldn't help but open her mouth with red circles and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't want to be speechless.
Qin Wafan looked at it and felt even more sore in his heart, thinking that he must take care of the mother and daughter so that they would not be wronged in the future.
"Auntie, come, since it's a happy event, let's be happier, and discuss the next engagement and wedding date with you."
Qin Wafan had no other way, so he hurriedly led the topic to the matter in front of him, so as to divert the attention of the two of them.
"Hey, yes, Auntie is actually happy to be like this, is the date of your engagement and marriage waiting for tomorrow to meet your parents, let's give it together?"
Mother Zhao wiped her eyes and regained her smile.
"Well, I've discussed it with Ah Hong, so I'll discuss it with you, if you don't have an opinion here, my parents can talk about it."
Qin Wafan said with a smile.
"Oh? Okay, you two, you've discussed it, and then you came to tell me, okay, okay, you say. ”
Mother Zhao smiled.
"Well, what we want is to take wedding photos next week, set up an engagement banquet in August, and hold a wedding on October 1st, how do you see the time arrangement, will you be too nervous?"
Qin Wafan looked at his mother-in-law inquiringly and smiled. In fact, he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, this day was a little urgent, and he had already minimized the things that needed to be prepared at home, but the wedding was a big event after all, and there must be many things that he and Zhao Hong couldn't think of, but had to prepare in advance, for fear that Zhao's mother would be tired, and also worried that Zhao's mother would feel too hasty and unwilling.
However, fortunately, Zhao Hong had already told his mother that Qin Wafan would get married as soon as he graduated, but he didn't expect these two to be really positive, so it's okay, it's faster, and I'm at ease.
