Chapter Seventy-Six: The First Visit
Ouyang Lamei didn't mind whether she bought a gift or not, but Yang Qianfeng said in her heart, as Lan Mei said, she couldn't bring a gift when she came to the door for the first time, which was a respect for the old man.
After buying a gift, Yang Qianfeng came out of the department store and said: Why did your mother suddenly agree to our matter.
Ouyang Lamei leaned her head on Yang Qianfeng's shoulder and said as she walked: When her daughter is older, she is also anxious! Besides, we have frequent dates, and everyone outside knows that we are in love, but we haven't had an engagement ceremony yet, and the elders of the two families have never even met. Besides, my dad often talks about you at home, saying that your ability is very good, and your Director Chen has a good impression of you, especially this time the urban area is intensively renovated, and how the county leaders praise you at the conference, etc., my mother was good to you, and my dad said so, and besides, we really love each other, and you don't have any principle problems, so she figured it out!
That's really good news, I'm so happy. Your mother has this idea, it seems that we should get engaged as soon as possible, which day do you think is good?
I don't care, you have the final say, it's just a formality, in fact, I don't want to do anything, as long as we love each other, why do we care so much?
Our custom here is like this, it's normal for your mother to have this consideration, although it is a form, but in their eyes, this form is greater than the content, so it's not a question of whether you want to or not, but we have to think about it, it's too late a year ago, and we'll get engaged to it after the year!
Okay, you can do it whenever you want. Although Ouyang Lamei said this in her mouth, she was very happy in her heart, looked up at Yang Qianfeng and said: It's really complicated, the form of engagement will have to be removed sooner or later, do you believe it or not? I think it is important for two people who are in love to form a family in the end, one is to get a certificate. This is the guarantee of marriage by law; The second is the marriage ceremony. After all, getting married is a major event in life, and it is also appropriate to have a lively time and get the blessings of relatives and friends.
You're right, the country is also advocating changing customs, some places have started to hold group weddings, and some people have traveled to get married, but it is still difficult to work in a small place like ours. You are traveling and getting married, and you have to do it the same when you come back, otherwise people will gossip, the parties may not care, and the elders may not be able to accept it.
O man! A lot of times it's really for someone else.
Mom and Dad, the striker is here. Ouyang Lamei shouted as she entered the door.
Ouyang Lamei's mother He Fenfang was washing vegetables in the kitchen with an apron, and walked out of the kitchen when she heard the scream, Yang Qianfeng found that she was not only not old, but felt much younger than when she was in Baiguo Village, and called Auntie loudly!
In He Fenfang's impression, Yang Qianfeng has always been the same as when he was in high school, and he didn't expect to grow into a burly and handsome young man in a few years, standing with his daughter is really a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: Okay, what are you doing when you come to play? You sit, I'll prepare the meal.
At this time, Ouyang Lamei's father, Ouyang Panwang, walked out of the study, and Yang Qianfeng hurriedly shouted: Hello, uncle!
Ouyang Pan said with a smile: Xiao Yang is here, sit down, and make a cup of tea.
Although Ouyang Lamei's home is a bungalow, it is a large set, the entrance is the living room, the back of the living room is the bathroom, the right is two rooms, and the left is the study, kitchen and dining room. The living room has a three-seat sofa, marble coffee table and two single sofas.
Ouyang Pan had no impression of Yang Qianfeng, he had worked in Baiguo Township for many years, and Yang Qianfeng was young at that time, although he knew him, he had never spoken to him, and he was still a little restrained when he saw him at this time, and said: Uncle, please take a seat.
After Ouyang Pan sat down on the single-person sofa, Yang Qianfeng sat down on the three-person sofa.
Ouyang Pan is tall, more than one meter seven or eight, with a straight waist, a Chinese face, fair skin, and a high nose bridge with old glasses on both sides of the imprint is particularly conspicuous, looking like a Confucian general, he took a sip of tea and said: Xiao Yang, you and Lamei are classmates, they know each other very well, I listened to her mother about you, as long as you are really good, I have no opinion with her mother, but the time you have been going back and forth is not short, I and her mother think that the necessary form is still necessary, I think you should get married as soon as possible, So we can have an explanation outside.
Uncle, Lamei and I discussed this matter on the way here, and my uncle and aunt will do this on a day after the Chinese New Year.
Ouyang Lamei put the brewed tea on the coffee table and said: Dad, how do you see the eighth day of the first lunar month?
It's okay on the eighth day of the new year, don't do it if you look at other people's affairs, run around, and invite the main relatives of both sides to the city at that time, and everyone can get together for a get-together. By the way, who are you going to ask to be a matchmaker?
Yang Qianfeng thought for a while and said: I want to ask Mr. Hong Xiaoshui, can you see it?
Xiaohong can, he is your teacher, and he knows you very well, so it's decided.
Ouyang Pan took a sip of tea and said: After you get engaged, you must care about each other in work and life, don't affect your work because of love, you have only been in the public security for a short time, as far as I know, you are doing a very good job, you must keep it, but you must pay attention to your own safety, safety is the most worrying thing for me and Lamei's mother.
Yang Qianfeng was very happy with their worries, indicating that they already regarded themselves as half of their future from the bottom of their hearts. Thankfully, I said: Thank you uncle and aunt for your concern, I will pay attention.
I have heard that you participated in the war in the south, which is the need of the country, and I respect you people from the bottom of my heart. But now that you are back, in a peaceful environment, in a peaceful environment, in your work, especially in the face of murderers, you must pay attention to strategy, and eliminate or reduce unnecessary sacrifices, because in the future, in addition to your responsibilities and responsibilities at work, you will also have to take responsibility for your family, do you know what I mean?
Uncle I know, don't worry, I will pay attention to my working methods, and I will never act recklessly and make unnecessary sacrifices.
It's good to understand. Ouyang Pan changed the topic again and said: Are you a junior college or a secondary school?
It can only be regarded as a high school college!
That's not okay, you have to take correspondence or self-study exams, and according to the development of the situation, you must have at least a college diploma, and without a diploma will affect your growth.
I learned that according to the situation of my work, I can only take self-study exams, and I don't have time to listen to lectures in correspondence courses.
Correspondence courses are faster than self-study graduation, it's up to you. In addition, the current social atmosphere is not too good, this is not good you say that you can change, after all, people do not live in a vacuum, since they can not change, they can only adapt to this environment, such as employment, interpersonal relationships, etc., subtle very, once it is not handled well, it will affect their own future, I know that you are very upright when you come back from the army, this is not good, you will suffer as soon as possible, I am an example, last year a leader came to my county to inspect the work, after the work he can go back, but he does not go, I wanted us to play mahjong with him, but I didn't know at the time, and I didn't have a hobby in this area, and I was scolded in a hurry, and I ran back home in a fit of anger, and when the meeting was held to determine the county leader of our county in the second month after he left, I was not promoted because of his opposition. This was a big blow to people of my age, and then I quickly learned to play mahjong, and soon he came again, in order to improve the relationship, I took the initiative to ask him to stay and play mahjong with him after work, and he was happy. Alas! Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, I don't talk about this matter to ask you to learn to play mahjong, but I want you to slowly learn to deal with these aspects of the relationship.
How so? Playing mahjong requires a lot of money, isn't this taking the lead in promoting the gambling atmosphere! You should be praised, but how did it rise to a political issue that cannot be reused?
That being said, in reality, there are those who have the power to think otherwise. However, our circle of playing mahjong is very small, and the leaders of several units play together, and the game is also very small.
Is it better not to fight?
Is that right? What I mean is also not to fight, just become the director, it's not worth it to cater to these villains with a smile in order to be a county leader. Ouyang Lamei said angrily.
Your dad doesn't have a bad hobby, just play a little mahjong and let him play! At this time, He Fenfang came over and said.
It's all what you're used to, and my dad lets him do whatever he does.
He Fenfang smiled and diverted the topic and said: Xiao Yang, I heard what you said just now, the engagement will be done in the city, and I will decide when the hotel arrives, there are two tables of people in my house, and there are at least two tables in your house, and the money for the four tables will be paid by my family, but you must buy a decent thing for Lamei as a souvenir, and the bride price, clothes, etc. are all free.
Yang Qianfeng stood up and said: How can this be done, you can decide the hotel, I will settle the account, I will buy what jewelry Lamei likes with her, and I still have to make two sets of clothes, and the bride price can only mean it.
He Fenfang said happily: You can just think like this, although I said that I would raise my head to marry a girl and bow my head to marry a daughter-in-law, I don't want to do that, so I'll help you save some! No matter how much the hotel money is, I'll settle it.
Auntie, I know that you are thinking about me, but I must pay for this money, so don't fight with me, otherwise people will laugh at me.
All right! Just listen to you, anyway, I will save all the money you gave me, and it will be yours when you get married. It's set at noon on the eighth day of the new year, and you have to say it to Mr. Hong, don't make a mistake.
Okay, you won't miss anything.
He Fenfang said to Ouyang Lamei: Help serve the food, let's eat, after dinner, your father will play mahjong with a few bureau chiefs for a while.
After eating, Ouyang Pan left in a hurry, and He Fenfang didn't know what to do.
Ouyang Lamei pulled Yang Qianfeng into her boudoir, and hugged him tightly in her arms without closing the door and said: Say so much, don't give us any time.
Isn't it for us now! Yang Qianfeng said holding her face with both hands, pressing his angular lips against her soft lips, the two tongues were entangled, Yang Qianfeng's hand reached into Ouyang Lamei's chest and said in her ear: I want to eat meat buns.
Ouyang Lamei giggled and fell on the bed, a pair of lovers were happily together and were about to linger, when they suddenly heard He Fenfang's cough, and the two sat nervously on the edge of the bed......
