68. Who Makes Me an Honest Person?

When Liang Guifen mentioned marriage, Yan Chu would naturally not object.

After receiving a positive reply from her son, Liang Guifen felt happy and sad at the same time.

He is happy that his son is finally getting married, but sad that the people closest to him will become his wife and future children. But overall, he is more happy than sad.

The old lady is a sensible person. At her age, she can only spend another twenty or thirty years with her son. The daughter-in-law is the one who will accompany her son for the rest of his life. She will not imitate those mothers-in-law in order to win over their sons. There is no need to stir up feelings between son and daughter-in-law. What good is it to disturb the whole family? If you really dislike your daughter-in-law so much, you shouldn't actively find a partner for your son in the first place. This is not a bad talent. Is it something you can do?

Liang Guifen firmly believed that sincerity should be exchanged for sincerity. She knew that the child seemed to be well-behaved and considerate. As long as she treated the child as her own daughter, the other party would not treat her any worse. Both of their hearts were with Yan Chu. These days You can live a prosperous life.

"Our house is a bit old. Since we are planning to get married, we have to buy a new house."

Although it is a small county on the 180th line, the housing prices here have been growing as fast as the Sky Monkey in recent years. Some of the newly opened properties are priced at 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per square meter. For a per capita income of 2,000 yuan, For many small counties, it is already ridiculously high.

Fortunately, the Yan family has other income besides fixed salary income. Over the past few decades, they have saved a small 600,000 yuan. It is still possible to buy a house of 180 square meters. As a teacher, Yan Chu has provident fund and the down payment ratio is If you pay more, the couple will not need to repay the loan themselves later.

"Mom went to look at the newly released houses a few days ago. The layouts are pretty good. If you think a house of 100 square meters is too small, there are also elevator rooms with more than 140 square meters, four-bedroom apartments, and finely decorated rooms. , don’t bother, just add some furniture and appliances when the time comes. If Zhizhi doesn’t mind, mom will live with you. She can help you wash and cook. When the time comes, she can help you take care of your children. If Zhizhi doesn’t mind, mom will live with you. If you live with the elderly, I will live in our old house. When the time comes, I will sell the other one and raise the money to buy you a bigger one. "

Liang Guifen made a good calculation. If her future daughter-in-law comes back from a big city, she may not be willing to live with her. She also doesn't want to be annoying. If she lives farther away, she may be closer to her.

Of course, that's what it is said. The old lady has lived with her son all her life. When the time comes to live separately, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I didn't marry a wife just to have one more person to be filial to you with me. How could I abandon you after getting married? Don't say that again, I don't want to hear it."

Yan Chu was a filial man. Hearing that his mother wanted to live separately from him after marriage, he refuted Liang Guifen's suggestion without thinking.

"We don't need to buy a house. Our old house is in a good location, but the community is a bit older. If we want to get married, we can open up the house next door and renovate it. This will add up to almost 200 square meters, and we can have a few more children. The children can live there.”

When Liang Guifen bought a house, she specifically bought two apartments on the same floor, separated by a wall. Now she lives in one and rents out the other. The last tenant was a foreigner. She plans to return to her hometown this year, so she rents By the end of September, it will be just over a month away. By then, it will take more than two months to open up the two apartments and renovate them.

Liang Guifen was very happy to hear that her son was filial to her. Mothers all over the world have the same mentality. Although Liang Guifen knew the truth, she was happy to hear that her son preferred her as a mother between his wife and mother.

"Don't say this in front of Zhizhi." She nodded her son's head, asking him to be careful in front of his future wife, so as not to make his kind daughter angry.

"Mom, Zhizhi also agrees. I told you during the blind date that living with you is the basic premise. I think Zhizhi is quite filial and agreed without any objection at all. So don't worry, don't say it again. Why live separately?" Yan Chu comforted the old lady.

"Really?" She was such a good girl. Liang Guifen was a little touched and immediately stopped mentioning living separately.

"But do you really want to buy a new house for this house?"

Nowadays, when young people get married, they don’t live in a new house. Just because their children don’t have a father doesn’t mean they are inferior to others. Old ladies always feel a little unmotivated when they get married in an old house.

"We don't need to buy a new house. Our house is pretty good. We all know our neighbors. There is a kindergarten within a few steps of the community. It's also close to our school. It's convenient for everything."

Yan Chu didn't want to waste the whole morning of installing the pinhole camera. Besides, the reason why Liang Zhizhi's plan was so successful in his previous life was also because after moving, his neighbors didn't move around much. What did Liang Zhizhi say? What did everyone believe? They didn't give Yan Chu a chance to refute.

But it's different here. Yan Chu moved here with Liang Guifen when he was four years old. More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. The old neighbors are all very familiar with him. It's fair to say that they watched Yan Chu grow up. It is not an exaggeration to say that in this kind of family situation, others will definitely listen to what Liang Zhizhi says and what he says more.

A better public opinion environment was very important for his future plans, so Yan Chu had no intention of selling the house and buying a new one from the beginning.

"If you don't want to buy a new house, you have to talk to Zhizhijia. But what you just said is right. When the time comes, it will be much better to connect the two houses and renovate them than to buy a new house. And we Apart from the fact that this community is a bit older, the location is nothing to say. There are shopping malls and food markets nearby. If you change to another property, you won’t be able to find such a good house.”

Liang Guifen still has a good eye. The two houses she bought are now in the center of the small county. Although they are in old communities, the price per square meter is higher than the unit price per square meter of some newly opened buildings.

At first, Liang Guifen just thought that the woman's family might mind if they didn't have a new house. Now after listening to her son's analysis, she felt that the old community also had its benefits.

The mother and son discussed the details of their marriage, and under the arrangement of the matchmaker Aunt Yan, the two families sat together to discuss the matter of Yan Chu and Liang Zhizhi.

"Yan...eldest brother-in-law..."

Yan Chu had met Liang Zhizhi’s parents, but this was the first time he met Liang Zhizhi’s younger brother Liang Qiuzhi.

Liang Qiuzhi was thirteen years younger than Liang Zhizhi. Liang's mother had received an IUD at first, but she got pregnant by accident. Because of the IUD, she never thought at first that she would be pregnant before her period. When I missed my period and realized something was wrong and went to the hospital, I was almost five months pregnant.

After examination, it was found that Liang's mother's physical condition was not suitable for abortion. If the abortion had to be carried out, it might be harmful to the mother's body. Therefore, even though the couple were both civil servants, the second child was still legally born and her job was not lost. It was a large fine.

The couple were very happy to have a son and gave him the best in almost everything. Now Liang Qiuzhi was attending a private high school in the city and would not go home without holidays. Therefore, Yan Chu went to Liang's house several times. But he never met his future brother-in-law once.

Judging from his brother-in-law's current expression, he doesn't seem to like his future brother-in-law very much.

Liang Qiuzhi really didn't like this brother-in-law who was unattractive and even a bit rustic. In his opinion, his sister was good-looking and had a good job. If his father hadn't come back from the Demon City because of his illness, he wouldn't be looking for this brother-in-law now.

In fact, he couldn't understand why the eldest sister was satisfied with the man in front of him. Even in this small county, there were many outstanding young people. How could he introduce an ordinary and frustrated elementary school teacher to others in the future? brother-in-law.

Liang Qiuzhi, who has a strong middle school temperament, put his hands in his trouser pockets and wanted to express his position by ignoring Yan Chu's indifference.

"This kid is rude."

Mother Liang patted her son and asked him to calm down. The older generation did not have so many requirements for choosing a son-in-law. Yan Chu's appearance seemed not good to Liang Zhizhi and Liang Qiuzhi, but in the eyes of the older generation, this appearance was solid. It's not easy to have sex outside. That's why you should look for someone like this when looking for a son-in-law.

Besides, they also asked about the Yan family's mother and son. They all said that they were usually friendly and rarely saw anyone blushing with them. Their own daughter knew that she looked quiet and well-behaved on the outside, but in fact she had a heart of a cow. She is eccentric and has a bad temper. Finding a man who is honest and can tolerate her is the couple's highest requirement.

Anyway, this meeting ended successfully with the enthusiasm of the elders, the hypocrisy of Liang Zhizhi and Yan Chu, and the dissatisfaction of Liang Qiuzhi.

On the fifteenth day of the blind date, Yan Chu and Liang Zhizhi went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their certificates, and they were just short of a wedding.

This speed is considered fast in a relatively backward small county. After all, free love is now emphasized. Even if you fall in love on a blind date, it will take at least two or three months. However, Yan Chu and Liang Zhizhi seem to be destined for each other. I skipped that stage and went straight to marriage.

Now that he has received the certificate, some of Liang Zhizhi's things have also begun to move to Yan's house.

The other party seemed to be in a hurry. Even if the Yan family did not buy a new house, they still planned to live with Liang Guifen. Liang Zhizhi had no objection at all. He suppressed some objections from her parents and nodded directly. It was not that she did not want to live in the new house, but that she The child in her belly can't hold back, and now she can only hold Yan Chu back and prevent any changes to her plan.

The wedding of the two was scheduled for Sunday two weeks later. Both parties had already begun to notify relatives and friends. On this day, Liang Guifen cooked a large table of dishes because her daughter-in-law planned to move here before the wedding and start adapting early. life.

"We are all a family from now on. We must work together to live a prosperous life."

Liang Guifen sat in the main seat, looking at her son and daughter-in-law sitting on her left and right respectively, feeling extremely happy in her heart.

"Mom, don't worry, Yan Chu and I will be filial to you and give you a fat grandson as soon as possible." Liang Zhizhi smiled, poured the bottle of red wine she brought for all three of them, and coaxed Liang Guifen and Yan Chu drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

"Mom is not...not that kind of old lady who values ​​boys over girls. If you give me a grandson...granddaughter, mom...she will also be happy." Liang Guifen's drinking capacity Generally speaking, after drinking two or three times red wine, you will have a loose tongue.

Liang Zhizhi gave the old lady a hard look in his heart. What kind of granddaughter? What she wants to give birth to is a son. The old lady can't speak. If she gives birth to a daughter this time, let's see how she deals with her.

Liang Zhizhi kept urging him to drink, but he drank very little. Liang Guifen fell down first. Yan Chu helped the old lady back to the room with her, and then she started to persuade Yan Chu to drink again.

Yan Chu drank all the red wine she brought with her. He also drank two bottles of wine placed in the wine cabinet at home as decoration, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating, as if nothing had happened.

Liang Zhizhi was almost getting angry. Even if the wine didn't take effect, the medicine should have taken effect.

Yan Chu teased her for more than an hour. Seeing that her face was blue with anxiety, he pretended to be dizzy and lay on the table.
