Chapter 696: Engagement, Criticism

A courtyard house and four properties in Changshi, it was a big deal, which stunned Jiang Yue.

Later, she quietly told her husband Song Shi this news, and the latter was also silent for a long time.

Seeing her husband smoking silently, Jiang Yue said: "If Li Heng wasn't philandering, how good it would be, this son-in-law... sigh..."

Song Shi flicked the ash with his little finger: "Difficult. Just as Xiao Mei said, even if Li Heng stays at home and doesn't go out, there will always be women coming to the door automatically."

The two looked at each other and understood a fact: no matter which man it is, if he has Li Heng's status and wealth today, it is difficult to guarantee that he will only have one woman.

On the side of Xila Xila Xila Hutong, Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e were also here for the first time. After visiting the three-entry courtyard, Tian Run'e said to her son: "Manzai, did you find someone to renovate this courtyard?"

The furniture and decorations in this courtyard were better than the old Li family in the Drum Tower, which was why she asked this question.

Li Heng replied: "These courtyards were bought by me when I entrusted Yu Laoshi to buy them, and she also helped me decorate them."

Mentioning Yu Laoshi, the old couple immediately stopped talking. Song Yu's family of three was still in this house, so it was easy to leak the secret if they said too much, and it would be bad if someone heard it.

After simple washing and resting, after 5:00 PM, the two families started buying vegetables and preparing for dinner.

Originally Li Heng wanted to take everyone out to eat, but Song Yu said to do it at home, it had an atmosphere and could promote the feelings of the two families.

This suggestion was unanimously agreed by everyone, so they ran to the vegetable market and bought some vegetables back.

The sunset was slanting, shining golden in the courtyard.

The two families were all huddled on the stone benches under the grape trellis, chatting while picking and washing vegetables.

First, they chatted about family matters, such as the customs of Yueyang and Shao Yang, such as the fishing past of Dongtinghu, such as the interesting things about their children when they were young. Since both the Song and Li families were here to make friends with each other, the conversation was quite strong and the atmosphere was very good.

Dinner was made with 12 dishes, filling the table. It meant red every month, which was a great omen in the hometown customs.

Li Jianguo, as the head of the male family, took the initiative to stand up and pour wine for Song Shi and Jiang Yue, drinking Maotai.

Song Shi and Jiang Yue didn't refuse and watched Li Jianguo pour the wine with a smile.

After the wine was poured, Li Jianguo and his wife stood up, raised their glasses to toast Song Shi and Jiang Yue: "In-laws, this is the first glass of wine drunk at home, it's not a respect, thank you for coming over for Li Heng and Yu Bao's affairs in your busy schedule."

Song Shi and Jiang Yue also stood up, the four clinked glasses, and then drank a small sip.

After drinking, they sat down.

At this time, Jiang Yue took this opportunity to say: "Since we are talking about Xiao Heng and Yu Bao's affairs, Jianguo, Run'e, I have a word in my heart, I don't know if I should say it?"

Hearing this, Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e stopped their chopsticks, sat up straight, and looked at Jiang Yue. Tian Run'e said harmoniously: "Since we can sit at this table today, we are a family. If the in-laws have something to say, just say it. As long as we can do it and handle it well, there is absolutely no second word."

Seeing the other party's sincere attitude, Jiang Yue didn't be polite anymore, first asking Li Heng: "Xiao Heng, are you sincerely liking our Yu Bao?"

Li Heng reached out and caught Song Yu's hand: "Sincerely liking."

Jiang Yue smiled and nodded, then turned to Li Jianguo and his wife again, "Run'e, I won't hide it from you. Because Xiao Heng ran to Dongtinghu several times, now not only our hometown knows that he is Yu Bao's fiancé, but even the work units of several aunts are spreading this news. This was originally a great thing, and our family also recognizes it.

However, I have a request here."

At this point, everyone at the table was not a fool, and they all heard it. Jiang Yue's next words were the most important, directly related to the future of Li Heng and Song Yu's relationship.

Tian Run'e and Li Jianguo looked at each other, the former's attitude was as good as ever: "In-laws, you say."

Jiang Yue looked around at everyone, and finally her gaze fell on her daughter, saying seriously: "Song Shi and I have only one daughter, we have always treasured her, and she is also competitive, admitted to Peking University, and the object she found is also a rare talent in a century.

Just now Xiao Heng also said he sincerely likes our Yu Bao, and Song Shi and I came to Beijing this time for one thing: if the two are still together in the future, we hope Xiao Heng can marry Yu Bao into the door openly and get a marriage certificate."

Core meaning: to enter the Li family's door openly, to get a marriage certificate.

Knowing that it would be this matter, Tian Run'e and Li Jianguo looked at each other again, and then looked at Li Heng together.

Jiang Yue and Song Shi also looked at Li Heng.

Li Lan also looked at Li Heng.

Only Song Yu sat in her seat reservedly, her eyes falling into the wine glass, her eyes full of calmness. They say true gold is not afraid of fire, now is the time to test Li Heng, but she believes in Li Heng.

Sure enough, Li Heng didn't let her down.

Almost without letting everyone wait for a long time, Li Heng gripped Song Yu's palm hard again, looked at her affectionately and said: "I am naturally ten thousand willing to marry Song Yu into the door. Not only marry, but also use our ancestors' Chinese-style wedding to marry her, hold a grand wedding, and let everyone bless us."

Li Heng was not shooting arrows without a target, because in his previous life, Song Yu loved watching short videos of Chinese-style weddings the most. Although she never mentioned the two words "marriage" to Li Heng, she was infinitely yearning for it in her heart.

So he catered to her preferences.

In front of everyone, Song Yu, who received Li Heng's promise, lost the indifference in her eyes, replaced by emotional smiles. Her red lips opened slightly, and she said slowly: "Okay."

Seeing the two young people in love, Tian Run'e took the conversation and expressed her attitude to Song Shi and Jiang Yue: "With such a good girl, our old Li family will not be without rules. By then, we will definitely marry Yu Bao into the door with eight sedan chairs."

Jiang Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her husband, nodded with a smile, and then raised her glass to toast Tian Run'e and her husband.

After the elders finished drinking, Li Heng also poured wine and stood up, pulling Song Yu to say to Jiang Yue and her husband: "Dad, Mom, Song Yu and I toast you, thank you for your cultivation of Song Yu over the years, please rest assured, I will take good care of her in the future."

This change of address made Jiang Yue and Song Shi pleasantly surprised. After drinking with the two young ones, they stood up and ran to the bedroom, sealing two red envelopes on the spot.

Li Heng and Song Yu took the red envelopes and said: Thank you Mom.

Later, the two poured wine again, facing Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e, "Dad, Mom, Song Yu and I toast you, after drinking, hurry up and give the daughter-in-law a red envelope."

Everyone laughed.

Song Yu was shy for the first time, opening her mouth to call: "Dad, Mom, I toast you."

"Eh, thank you Yu Bao." Being toasted by such a beautiful daughter-in-law, Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e felt flattered, and quickly responded, the smile on the corners of their mouths almost stretching to their foreheads.

After the four finished drinking, Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e really took out two big red envelopes familiarly, the amount was 1200.

Song Yu took the two red envelopes: "Thank you Dad, thank you Mom."

Tian Run'e smiled and patted Song Yu's hand: "Wish you happiness and joy, life as you wish, and grow old together."

Song Yu smiled and said thank you again.

Li Lan looked at all this, thinking: Now you treat Song Yu as a treasure, and you will have a headache when those women come back.

This meal was equivalent to an engagement banquet, and the two families ate happily, drinking until the end, Li Jianguo and Song Shi were a bit tipsy.

Jiang Yue helped her husband to the bedroom, closed the door, and whispered: "Finally solved the thing I was most worried about in my heart, Li Heng didn't let me down."

Song Shi sat on the edge of the bed, smoked a cigarette, and smiled without making a sound.

Jiang Yue asked: "Why are you just laughing."

Song Shi said: "Yu Bao is happy, I am happy."

Can he not be happy? He is a daughter slave, doing everything for his wife and daughter. Tonight, his daughter was smiling all the time at the dinner table, which was a rare scene.
