Yang's mother urged on the phone, and Yang Ke went back to the villa after work. When she was wondering if something was going on at home, she opened the door and saw that in addition to Yang's father and Yang's mother, Zhao Xuan and Zhao's parents, as well as an old man who didn't know each other, waited and greeted her.

Looking at the circle of people in the living room, Yang Ke stood at the door and hesitated, and before the people in the room could find her, she quietly retreated, ready to turn her legs and go back to the unit. But within a few seconds, Mother Yang, who knew her thoughts, chased her out and stopped her at the gate of the courtyard: "Xiao Ke... Don't be willful, everyone is here today, let's get in. ”

"Why are the people of the Zhao family here again today? What do you want to do? You called me back and didn't tell me they were there, you were deliberately tricking me to come back, right? ”

"They... They came today to discuss the marriage of the two of you, and they also invited the most prestigious matchmaker in the county, and you will definitely come back. ”

"What? Tie the knot? Who promised to get married now? Even if you want to get married... At the very least, it will be a few more years. The last time hasn't passed yet, how can I marry him? ”

"Wait a few more years? You are crazy? Engaged... It is customary to get married in a year at most. You have to delay for so long and refuse to get married, the Zhao family still thinks that we are going to regret the marriage, when the time comes... What about our family? What about your dad? ”

"Mom..."Yang Ke was furious, "I'm also human!" What do you want from me? I also have thoughts, I also have emotions, you can't treat me as... Be at the mercy of a three-year-old. Don't you see what that person looks like? You guys... You've got to give me some time to come to terms with this reality. ”

Mother Yang was worried that the people in the house would hear it, so she pulled Yang Ke aside: "... Be quiet, and don't let them hear it. Xiao Ke, your marriage with Zhao Xuan is already a certainty, and the Zhao family has already asked someone to choose an auspicious day for marriage. According to custom, they are here today to deliver the 'day'. ”

"What? Have you chosen all the days? Then why did you call me back? Whether I want to or not, I have to tie this marriage according to the Zhao family's wishes, right? ”

Mother Yang nodded: "This is the meaning of the Zhao family, and it is also our custom here." ”

"What custom? Aren't they all set by people? They... When did you choose? ”

"October 2nd... National. ”

Yang Ke's whole body resisted, squatted down, and covered his face with both hands: "... It's mid-May, so to speak... In less than five months, I will marry into the Zhao family......"

One sentence brought out Yang's mother's emotions, squatted down, looked at Yang Ke, her eyes were red, and two tears flowed down the corners of her eyes. Yang Ke relented again, helped Yang's mother to stand up, and hesitated: "... Anyway... Regardless of whether I get in or not, the Zhao family has chosen the date, none of us is powerless to refute, and no one can change it. In that case, I'm not going in, what's the matter, you can call me. ”

"Xiao Ke..." Before Yang Ke walked out of the yard, Zhao's mother came out of the house, trotted forward all the way, grabbed Yang Ke's hand, and dragged her into the house: "Why don't you go in when you come back?" Everyone is waiting for you. ”

Yang Ke wanted to break free, but Zhao's mother pulled her tighter until she was pulled into the living room.

When Zhao Xuan saw Yang Ke, he immediately got up and stepped forward, wanting to talk to her. Yang Ke broke free of Zhao's mother's hand, turned around and went upstairs.

The laughter downstairs was heard from time to time to the third floor, in addition to talking about the news and major events of the small county, the main thing was to discuss marriage.

The Zhao family has already prepared two sets of wedding houses, one in Xuncheng and one in the county seat, and the house in Xuncheng is still a single-family villa. After getting married, Yang Ke and Zhao Xuan wanted to live over there, whatever they wanted.

The wedding wine must be held twice, the National Day will be held in the city, and the New Year will be held in the countryside to worship the ancestors. Zhao's father asked Yang's father and Yang's mother for their opinions on the hotel where the wedding wine was held: "How was the hotel where we got engaged last time?" If you're not satisfied, we'll change it. ”

Zhao's mother hopes that the two will have children as soon as possible: "Getting married early is also early for our family's wishes." When they give birth to their children, we will take them, and they will live their own little lives......"

Zhao Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, but Yang Ke frowned. She opened the door to the second floor, where the cat was at the corner of the stairs, catching a glimpse of everyone eating and chatting in the dining room. She turned upstairs, grabbed her pouch, and tiptoed downstairs to slip away. But the sound of opening the door still attracted everyone's attention, and Zhao Xuan was the first to run forward.

"Xiao Ke, you... Are you leaving? You haven't eaten dinner yet, so let's eat first. ”

Yang Ke responded with two words: he was not hungry, so he opened the door and wanted to go out. Unbeknownst to her, she was dragged from behind again. was about to get angry, but when she looked back, the person who grabbed her was actually Zhao's father. Father Zhao asked her to eat dinner with concern, and at the same time pulled her to the restaurant and pressed her to the position next to Zhao Xuan.

Mother Zhao stepped forward and took Yang Ke's hand intimately: "Xiao Ke, did you take your wedding photos earlier?" It's about to be summer, and it's not so convenient when the weather is hot. We decided to go to Sioux City to customize the wedding dress we wore on our wedding day, what kind do you like? Why don't we take some time to go to Sioux City for a few days and set the style of the wedding dress by the way? ”

Yang Ke picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dish in front of him and sent it to his mouth. The matchmaker on the table stared at her for a long time, and said with a smile: "Willow eyebrows and apricot eyes and round face, it is really blessed." Lao Yang, your girl is really loved, and Lao Zhao's family is blessed! ”

Father Yang, Mother Yang, Father Zhao, Mother Zhao, including Zhao Xuan, instantly smiled. Zhao's father's interest immediately rose: "It seems that our old Zhao family has picked up a treasure, thank you very much!" ”

Zhao's mother couldn't close her mouth: "I didn't expect the old gentleman to look at the face, if you want to say that our family Zhao Xuan has a vision, he has always told us that if we are not small, we should not marry." I hope that the two of them can be happy after they get married, and let us hold our grandson as soon as possible. ”

The matchmaker looked at Zhao Xuan again, with the expression of a fortune teller: "The son of the Zhao family... Ordinary appearance, but being born in the rich and powerful Zhao family is his greatest blessing......"

Everyone, you and I said it one by one, only Zhao Xuan kept looking at Yang Ke who was only looking down and eating. Several times when she picked up chopsticks and wanted to pick up vegetables for her, Yang Ke ruthlessly blocked them.

It may be that the matchmaker's words made the two elders happy, and when Yang Ke wanted to return to the unit after the meal, he didn't stop him too much.

As soon as he arrived at the unit, Yang Ke, who had been silent all night, chattered: "... Take wedding photos, get married, have children, I bah! I don't want to have children, I'm fed up with that painful experience. ”

Mi Yang looked incredulous: "The wedding date is set so soon? ”

Yang Ke nodded weakly.

"You don't choose a wedding dress, you don't take wedding photos, you run away when you're full, the Zhao family won't embarrass your parents, right?"

"At first, I wasn't very happy, but the matchmaker they invited said something that made them so happy."

"Got a matchmaker? What did he say? ”

"He said... I am 'willow-eyed and almond-eyed round face plate', and I am blessed. Miyang, look, am I blessed? ”

Mi Yang put down the book in his hand, stared at Yang Ke's face for a few seconds, and laughed: "I don't know how to look at the face, how do I know, maybe... The matchmaker was right. So, don't drill the horns of the bull in the future, maybe there are countless blessings waiting for you. ”

"Really? I don't see it at all, I'm like a puppet now, at their mercy... Mi Yang, I discovered a strange thing today, although Zhao Xuan's parents are almost the age of sixties, they are not ugly. That Zhao Xuan didn't look like them at all, it was a world of difference, not like his own child. ”

"Perhaps... He looks like a relative, aunt or uncle," Mi Yang said again, "I don't look like my parents." ”

"Really? Do you look like your aunt or uncle or aunt? ”

Mi Yang hesitated for a moment, thinking about the appearance of his relatives in his mind, and shook his head: "I can't see it myself, I just know that it doesn't look like my brother at all, my brother looks like my father." ”

"That's weird," Yang Ke muttered to himself, staring at Mi Yang's face, "... Miyang, you can't be born to your parents, right? ”

Mi Yang said without hesitation: "How is it possible, if I am not born to them, even if they hide it and don't say it, it has been twenty-one years, and relatives and neighbors will always gossip out." ”

"Hmm... That's just as well. ”
