Chapter 1943

Zhang Zhiqiang said apologetically, "Sorry, Mom. I forgot to tell you."

His mother glared at him angrily, "You two really are something; you came back without even saying hello."

Zhang Zhiqiang smiled, "I was afraid you wouldn't let us get married."

His mother said with a stern face, "Who dares meddle in your business? I'm actually happy that you're getting married." As she spoke, her expression changed to a smile, and she took Wang Huiling's hand, saying, "This beautiful Miss must be your wife, right?"

Wang Huiling shyly lowered her head and said nothing.

His mother pulled Wang Huiling toward the living room, "Come chat with me. How old are you both this year? When do you plan to hold the wedding?"

Wang Huiling smiled and said, "My name is Wang Huiling, I'm 21 this year, and we are still studying for our master's degrees."

"21 years old? Then when will you get married?"

"In another half year."

"Another half year? That long? Zhiqiang, you really don't know how to cherish a Miss. Look, that girl has been busy earning money to support your studies for you all day long. Where can you find such a good girl? You must cherish her well and never let her down."

Zhang Zhiqiang said awkwardly, "Mom, you don't need to say these things; anyway, I won't treat her badly."

"Isn't this because I care about you? Let me tell you, when marrying a wife, you must be clear-headed and find a virtuous and gentle woman. If you marry a fierce woman, then family life will be quite lively!"

Wang Huiling covered her mouth and chuckled on the side, knowing her mother-in-law was talking about her.

Zhang Zhiqiang did not reply; a graceful and moving figure appeared in his mind.

Wang Huiling seemed to notice Zhang Zhiqiang's strange expression; she deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Zhiqiang, you wouldn't be despising me, would you?"

Zhang Zhiqiang shook his head, "Huiling, how could I despise you?"

"Hmph, that's more like it," Wang Huiling said softly, "Zhiqiang, I think you should consider an important matter."

"What important matter?"

Wang Huiling said, "Mom is right; since we have decided to get married, we should prepare for the wedding properly. Mom said that while the weather is still cool, we should hurry up and hold the wedding. I think we should schedule it after the Spring Festival, holding the ceremony after you graduate."

"That might not be appropriate. We are still studying; isn't getting married too early?"

"We are from a farming background; your grandparents didn't object, so what right do we have to object? Besides, you are 25 now, which is the age to get married."

Zhang Zhiqiang hesitated and said, "I am still studying; let's hold the wedding banquet after graduation. Holding it now would be too extravagant and wasteful, and it would affect my studies."

"I know what you are Gu Ji about. Rest assured, your dad is not that kind of old-fashioned feudal person. He also agrees that we should keep a low profile and not make it known all over the city. I think we should just rent a two-bedroom apartment; that way, it saves money and is trouble-free."

"Alright then. I'll listen to you."

Zhang Zhiqiang's father, Zhang Dafu, walked in, "Have you two discussed it?" Zhang Zhiqiang nodded, "Mm, I agreed."

Zhang Dafu smiled, "Zhiqiang, you finally confirmed the marriage. Your mother has been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Zhang Dafu's wife, Liu Fen, also smiled and said, "This is great; I can finally hold my Sun Zi."

"Dad, Mom, Huiling and I came back today mainly to report this happy news to you. We will get married at the end of January this year. Do you have any problems?"

"Of course there are no problems. Your father and I have been looking forward to this day for several years."

Liu Fen said with a grin, "Zhiqiang, since you and Huiling are getting married, I will soon be a grandmother; do you have any special wishes?"

Zhang Zhiqiang scratched his head, "I want to buy a car."

Liu Fen scolded, "I knew you had no good intentions. You are only 19 now and still studying; if you had money, would you still study?"

Zhang Zhiqiang helplessly smiled bitterly, "How about this? After I get my driver's license, we will go take the car test."

Liu Fen said, "You must study hard! Otherwise, if you fail the car test in the future, you will suffer."

Mother and Mother continued discussing what car to buy, while Wang Huiling sat on the sofa chatting with Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Brother Zhiqiang, did you gain anything from your studies in the capital this time?"

"The study content was very complicated; I only remember four courses now, and I have forgotten everything else. Fortunately, our teacher explained in detail, otherwise it would really be hard to remember."

Wang Huiling said worriedly, "How can you get into university like this?"

"So, I must also seize the opportunity to study hard."

As the two were talking, the sound of a car horn suddenly came from outside, and then someone shouted, "Father-in-law, open the door!"

"Oh my, isn't this Zhao Er Lao? What are you running over here for?"

Zhao Guodong opened the door and walked in, "Father-in-law, I came over to see you."

Zhang Dafu rolled his eyes at Zhao Guodong, "See what? What is there to see? Hurry home and see the child."

Zhao Guodong said, "The child is at home; I just came by on the way to see you."

Wang Huiling stood up and said, "Uncle, this is my boyfriend, Zhang Zhiqiang. He is a military doctor who just returned from the capital this year and is preparing to work here."

"So you are Huiling's boyfriend! You look so handsome!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhiqiang's father did not reject him as he had imagined, Zhao Guodong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle, Huiling and I have discussed it. We have decided to hold the wedding in June next year."

Zhang Dafu frowned and said, "It is still too early until June now."
