My village can't be like this

Chapter 211
After the two of them bought clothes on the street, Zhang An was not in a hurry to go back to Changqing.

Zhang An didn't plan to go home tonight, he would go back with Su Ying later.

Although there were no lively scenes, he has successfully proposed to Su Ying.

So for such a big matter, you must first talk to your future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

When the time comes, the family will find someone to come to propose marriage, but the two of them are still in the dark.

Zhang An and Su Ying returned home, while Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen had already returned from get off work.

"Xiao An is here, when did you come?"

Wu Qiuping saw Su Ying coming back with Zhang An, with a bunch of things in her hand.

One could tell at a glance that the two had gone to the street, and Zhang An was definitely not new here.

"Auntie, I came over in the morning, but you and uncle had already gone to work by then."

"You kid should come here often, otherwise auntie will talk about you."

Every time Zhang An came over, Wu Qiuping was very happy, as if Zhang An was her son.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely come to see you and uncle often in the future, so don't think I am coming too often."

I don't have to come here often in the future, especially after Su Ying starts school, she basically stays in Changqing.

At that time, Zhang An will definitely send Su Ying back to live for a few days from time to time.

"You child, auntie is happy that you live here every day, come and eat some fruit."

After Zhang An and Su Ying came in, Wu Qiuping washed a plate of fruit and brought it over.

And it's not a common thing, it's a plate of lychees.

This thing is produced in several provinces next to Guizhou Province, but there are few local varieties, and it is not easy to get it.

"Then Auntie, I will stay here tonight and I won't leave."

Zhang An peeled a lychee and handed it to Su Ying who was next to him, and said to his future mother-in-law with a smile.

"You still want to leave at this point, and I won't let you go if you want to go back."

Knowing that Zhang An would not go back at night, the smile on Wu Qiuping's face became even brighter.

Wu Qiuping looked at the happy family, which was much more lively than usual.

Because usually Su Ying and Zhang An are not around, they are the only couple at home, very deserted.

Then Su Shaowen chatted with Zhang An, talking about current affairs and politics from time to time.

And Wu Qiuping took Su Ying to the guest room next to her to start tidying up.

Usually no one lives here, and the beds are particularly prone to dust, so the bedding and quilts are put away.

Every time Zhang An came over, Wu Qiuping would re-pave it.

"Yingying, did Xiaoan buy this bracelet for you?"

When making the bed, Wu Qiuping saw the bracelet protruding from her daughter's hand at a glance.

"Mom, Zhang An said that Aunt Wang asked him to give it to me. It seems to have been passed down from their family."

Su Ying stretched out her hand and passed it to her mother next to her to have a look.

After all, Wu Qiuping was in her dozens of years old, so she could tell at a glance that this bracelet was unusual.

Looking at the expression on her daughter's face, she heard about the origin of the bracelet.

How can it be unclear what this means.

"Then what are you and Xiao An planning?"

Seeing her daughter's shy look, Wu Qiuping asked, fearing that it wasn't what she thought.

"Mom, Zhang An discussed with me today and said that he wants to get married this year."

Su Ying didn't hide anything from her mother's questioning.

He told Wu Qiuping everything that Zhang An told her in the morning.

It's just that because of shyness, the more I said it, the lower my voice became.

Wu Qiuping was very happy to hear that, and it was good that Zhang An mentioned this matter first.

In her heart, she had long hoped that the matter between her daughter and Zhang An would come to an end.

Except for those who are in college these days, everyone has been together for a few months.

If you get to know each other on a blind date, as long as you have the right eyes, the process may be completed in a month or two, and there are many people who get married directly.

And her daughter has been with Zhang An's family for more than half a year, and the relationship between the young couple is usually good, so she also wants to put this matter on the agenda as soon as possible.

But as women, it's not so convenient for them to speak.

Otherwise, if others listen to it, they will say that their daughter hates marrying.

Moreover, Zhang An's age was such that they wanted to urge them in their hearts, but they couldn't open the mouth first.

"Then what did you tell Xiao An?"

Wu Qiuping was really worried that her daughter would directly reject him because of her shyness, and let this matter drag on.

It might not be possible for others to do this, but she knew that it was really possible for her silly girl.

"I told him to discuss it with you and my dad. I listened to you, so he stayed tonight and will talk about it later."

Wu Qiuping nodded after hearing this, thinking about finding time to talk to Su Ying's father later.

The room was quickly tidied up, and Wu Qiuping saw that it was getting late, so she started to tidy up dinner.

It can be seen that she is very happy today. When she was busy in the kitchen, she couldn't help humming a ditty.

Zhang An wanted to go in to help several times, but she drove him out, saying that she would not let Zhang An do anything.

After the family of four had finished their dinner, the whole family sat on the sofa.

Wu Qiuping watched TV from time to time, and glanced at Zhang An from time to time.

Su Ying felt very embarrassed seeing her mother like this.

The family just hoped that she would get married as soon as possible.

As for Zhang An, although he had made an agreement with Su Ying in the morning, he had already decided to ventilate the two elders at night.

But when it was time to speak, Zhang An was still a little nervous.

Although he also knew that Su Ying's parents were very kind to him, but when he was about to speak, Zhang An was still a little apprehensive.

"Uncle, Auntie, Yingying and I have been together for a long time, so I think this matter should have a result."

"My parents are also very satisfied with Yingying, and told me that her daughter-in-law must be her, so if you two have no objections, I will ask my parents to pick a date to come to propose marriage when I go back."

Zhang An thought about his words in his heart for a long time, and finally said it.

Anyway, extending the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife.

After Su Shaowen heard this, he didn't speak immediately, but took a sip from his teacup.

Wu Qiuping, who was next to him, saw his unhurried appearance, and abducted him with her hands.

"Xiao'an, Xiaoying and I are not old feudal mothers. In fact, we are also very satisfied with you, and you can usually tell."

"So we don't have any opinions here. As long as you two discuss it, we will support you."

Su Shaowen thought about it before speaking to Zhang An.

"After all, you will still have to live together as a young couple in the future. The most we adults can do is give us some advice."

In Su Shaowen's place, he has never had any demands on Zhang An.

This was true even when he had never met Zhang An before.

He has always felt that as long as his daughter likes and is satisfied with his future son-in-law, he is a normal person and can treat his daughter well in the future, so he has no requirements.

As for other things, they are not too important in his opinion.

Later, after he also met Zhang An and Zhang An's family members, he was even more satisfied with this young man in his heart.

So he naturally wouldn't ask Zhang An any problems now.

"Yes, Xiaoan, as long as you and Yingying are well, we will be satisfied. You go back and tell your parents that there is no request from your aunt and your uncle, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Before Wu Qiuping met Zhang An, she was still thinking about what she wanted from the other party's family and what conditions she wanted.

But in the past six months, they have figured out the general idea of ​​Zhang An's family.

And they can feel how Zhang An usually treats her.

Especially the jar of old ginseng wine in their house, and the stick in it must have been more than 20 years old.

Zhang An didn't say anything at the time, and just brought it over. I'm afraid his own son can't do this.

In the following period, she has always been an enlightened mother-in-law in front of Zhang An.

So now, she will only continue to be a good person to the end, and stick to this role forever.

As for other dowry gifts, houses, and other requirements, she didn't mention them.

Because she knew that according to the current conditions of Zhang An's family, her daughter would definitely be able to live happily ever after marrying.

"Yes, Xiao An, go back and tell your dad that we don't have any requirements here. If there are any customs in your house, we will try our best to cooperate."

Because Zhang An and the others are from the mountains, Su Shaowen thought there might be some rules.

So I told Zhang An about this matter in advance, and let him go back without any scruples.

With just a few words like this, the matter of the two young people has been settled here.

Zhang An is really grateful to the future father-in-law and mother-in-law for being so open-minded.

Whenever you change a family, they will definitely put various conditions on you at this time.

But Su Ying's parents didn't, and they treated her like their own son from the beginning.

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, Yingying and I will be fine in the future."

In front of the two elders, Zhang An solemnly squeezed Su Ying's hand tightly, and assured them.

Both Su Shaowen and Wu Qiuping nodded in satisfaction with Zhang An's assurance to them.

After talking about things, the atmosphere became more relaxed.

"Xiao An, do you plan to buy a suite in the county?"

Su Shaowen is quite clear about Zhang An's economic strength.

"This is not a request from your uncle. I just want to ask you what you want. It doesn't matter if you buy it or not."

In Su Shaowen's heart, even after Zhang An and his daughter get married, it doesn't matter if they don't buy a house.

This house of my own will definitely be left to my two daughters in the future.

And the eldest son-in-law's family is not ordinary people, so the house will probably be in the hands of the younger daughter in the end.

"Uncle, I haven't actually planned to buy a house in our county."

If it was in the provincial capital, Zhang An would buy a set first even if he was selling everything.

Even if you don't live in it, you can sell it later.

But in this small county, Zhang An has no plans yet.

Because the development of the county is still too backward, the future prime location has not yet been developed.

Although in the next few decades, housing prices have risen very scary.

But in this small county, it is only about three or four thousand when it reaches the sky.

So now Zhang An has no plans to buy another set when the time is right.

It's not for investment, it's just for future use when needed.

When she woke up the next day, Su Ying's parents had already left for work.

After Zhang An stayed with Su Ying for a long time, he got up and went back under Su Ying's reluctant eyes.

This time Zhang An did not take Su Ying back with him, but asked her to stay at home for a few more days.

After all, Su Ying will report to Changqing next semester, so there will be less time to go home.

When Zhang An came, he didn't bring anything with him, but when he left, he left large and small bags in the car.

Some were clothes and shoes that Su Ying bought for Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo, and some were things that Wu Qiuping asked Zhang An to bring back.

Along the way, Zhang An drove the car, opened the window, and blew the cool wind from outside, and unconsciously sang a ditty.

Although it was a two-hour drive, Zhang An didn't pay attention and arrived home. Maybe that's why he was in such a good mood.

"Yo, Xiao An is back."

Zhang An returned home and found his mother and two aunts discussing something in the yard.

"Yes, auntie, what are you discussing?"

Zhang An watched as his old mother and two aunts were picking up these boxes.

"We got some silkworm eggs back and are going to raise some summer silkworms."

It turns out that these are silkworm eggs, no wonder they look dark.

"Why do you suddenly think of raising summer silkworms? Raising them in summer is like serving your ancestors."

Zhang An is no stranger to sericulture, on the contrary, he is somewhat familiar with it.

Because when I was a child, Grandma Zhang An was still there, and the family often raised silkworms.

And Zhang An's grandma is definitely good at raising silkworms.

Second Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "It's not our decision, it's Xiao An, you're urging me so hard."

"I won't rush our aunt, it's best for you to rest more when you have time."

Hearing what the second aunt said, Zhang An was a little dazed, what does this have to do with me.

"You silly child, your second and third aunts are raising summer silkworms this time to make quilts for you when you get married."

Seeing Zhang An confused, Wang Fang said with a smile.

"When you called back last night, your second aunt and third aunt were there. They all know about you and Xiaoying, so don't worry."

There is a local custom in Changqing, which is when the blood relatives and nephews of the family get married.

These close relatives and uncles in the family need to prepare quilts.

Most of the families in the village usually go to the town to spend money to buy some cotton, and throw on a few quilts.

But this quilt can't be made too poorly, or it will be laughed at by others.

In many places, after the bride's family received the bride price, more than a dozen quilts were used as dowry.

This kind of thing is unreasonable in Changqing's place, because the quilt's intentions have already been resolved by the family's close relatives and uncles.

The woman's side can't continue to marry the quilt, it adds up to dozens of quilts.

Even in a lifetime, the young couple may not be able to use up so many quilts.

It is precisely because of such rules that many families in later generations are unwilling to marry their daughters here.

It's just that Aunt Zhang's two sisters-in-law didn't want to follow the crowd, and they were very close to Zhang An, his nephew.

So ever since they found out about Zhang An and Su Ying, they had already discussed it.

The family prepared a silk quilt for Zhang An, which not only reflects their love for their nephew, but also saves face when they say it.
