Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Changgen's words were spoken with absolute finality.

Wang Xiaohua was stunned silly, then immediately turned from shock to joy.

A smile he couldn't help but wear appeared on his face!

Originally he was still worried his parents would forcibly break him and Li Jianjia apart!

He never expected his father would call him specifically to persuade him not to abandon Li Jianjia!

"Dad, you can rest assured, your son still has a basic conscience, I absolutely won't abandon Jianjia at a time like this!"

Wang Xiaohua spoke his guarantee with a smile.

Wang Changgen wasn't reassured, and further admonished:

"You must keep your word, don't go disliking that young lass just because someone says a couple of things! We don't care about outside gossip! We only need to know, whoever treats us well, we must treat well in return!"

Wang Erhai on the side, seeing Wang Changgen speak to Wang Xiaohua like this, secretly let out a breath of relief, the boulder in his heart finally settling down.

He had also thought his dad would beat the mandarin ducks apart.

So he had been anxious and fearful all along, constantly sweating for his Third Brother.

He never imagined his dad's reaction would completely exceed his expectations.

However, Wang Changgen's reaction, though unexpected, was also perfectly reasonable.

Rural people, with little education, why would they bother with those great rights and wrongs.

Whoever treats us well, we treat well in return!

This is the most simple, and also most common, value system of rural people.

As for right and wrong, much of the time they won't bother with it, and won't care!

You can say they lack a sense of right and wrong, lack a correct stance, but this is their way of survival!

Before, Li Zhongxian not only treated Wang Xiaohua very well, he treated Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan very well too.

When they went to the Li Family as guests, Li Zhongxian didn't look down on them for being rural people, but instead warmly hosted them.

Just based on this point, it made Wang Changgen feel he couldn't kick them while they were down!

"Dad, rest assured, I'll keep treating Jianjia well, I'm even planning to propose to her on National Day!"

After learning his father didn't oppose him being with Li Jianjia, Wang Xiaohua decided to no longer hide his plan, directly telling them he would propose to Li Jianjia on National Day.

"Mm, that's good, you're not young anymore, though studying is important, marriage is a major matter just the same, in our village, several people your age are already married, some even have kids who can walk, it's time you got married too!"

Rural people marry early, especially those who stopped after junior high or high school, they're even more likely to marry before legal age.

So Wang Changgen's words weren't an exaggeration, just stating a fact.

"Okay Dad, I'll get married as soon as possible!"

Wang Xiaohua answered like this, and he also said:

"After I propose on National Day, I'll go get the certificate with Jianjia, what do you think?"

"Up to you, as long as you get the marriage certificate quickly, the banquet can be discussed later!"

Wang Changgen answered like this.

Li Xiulan on the side also chimed in:

"Right, get the certificate first, the rest can be handled later!"

Wang Xiaohua was moved deep down.

From childhood to now, whether discussing any topic, he and his father basically always disagreed.

Even if they didn't shout at each other face to face, they'd secretly compete.

Never imagined, now on his life's major event, father and son, their opinions were surprisingly unanimous.

This road of love he thought would be rugged and bumpy, he thought his parents would again become a major obstacle in his life, never imagined they'd actually support his choice so much!

Can only say, in life, some things are just this wonderful.

Excessive assumptions and self-imposed limits only make you feel like you're facing a formidable enemy.

Once you truly go experience it, you'll discover, some things, perhaps aren't as difficult as imagined.

Wang Changgen felt deep gratification too.

After hanging up Wang Xiaohua's call, he revealed a long-lost smile.

He hadn't laughed from the bottom of his heart in a very, very long time.

"This kid, finally truly grown up, become sensible, no longer talks back to me!"

Wang Changgen spoke this line with a laugh.

Li Xiulan also said with a laugh:

"Yeah, university students marrying isn't easy either, Xiaohua marrying soon counts as fulfilling a wish of ours, later we won't have to worry so much!"

Wang Erhai also laughed out loud:

"Dad, Mom, Third Brother plans things well himself, even if you didn't say anything he'd marry his girlfriend!"

Wang Changgen looked at Wang Erhai at this moment, glaring:

"But you, not a shred of peace of mind, when are you getting married!"

Wang Erhai gave a dry hehe laugh, quite speechless:

"Aren't we discussing Third Brother's matter, how'd it suddenly turn to me?"

Li Xiulan said:

"Erhai, because you're the one who worries us the most, don't blame your dad for pressing you — he's doing it for your own good! Speaking of which, how's it going with that female teacher?"

Wang Erhai smiled helplessly:

"Stop pressing, you two. We've only known each other for a short while. We've been chatting on WeChat, just take it slow, no rush!"

Wang Zhanggen rebuked:

"How can we not rush? You've already been divorced once. It's hard for a divorced man to find a partner! If she doesn't dislike you for it, you'd better snag her quick, don't be picky!"

Wang Erhai didn't want to argue with Wang Zhanggen, so he chuckled and hurriedly nodded:

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right! Don't worry, I'll snag her as soon as possible! Stop fretting over my business! I have my own plans! By the way, Third Brother is proposing to his girlfriend on National Day — do you want to go watch?"

Wang Erhai didn't want his parents to keep the focus on him, so he hurriedly changed the subject.

He felt that since his Third Brother had already told their parents about the National Day proposal, they probably wouldn't refuse their parents coming to the scene to cheer them on, so he actively raised this question.

Wang Zhanggen thought for a moment:

"Going then wouldn't hurt. We can drop by and see your Eldest Sister-in-law while we're at it."

Li Xiulan said with a smile:

"We'll bring a few old hens down then, stew old hen soup for your Eldest Sister-in-law to drink. She's pregnant, she needs to supplement her body the most!"

Right now, there's still about half a month until National Day.

Still have to wait.

Yet Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan were both impatient.

Wang Erhai chatted with his parents in the Living Room for a while, then went back to his Room to lie down.

He took out his Mobile Phone and discovered Zhang Yueran had sent him a few messages:

"Exhausted me to death, finally finished grading today's homework!"

"Every time I grade homework I get angered to death, my students are too careless!"

"What are you doing? Asleep yet?"

Zhang Yueran obviously belonged to the type of girl who isn't good at chatting, but she still mustered the courage to share her daily trivial matters with Wang Erhai.

This showed that she had a certain degree of good impression toward Wang Erhai.

In a blind date relationship between a man and a woman, as long as one takes the initiative, it definitely means they want to develop things further.

"If I'd met a responsible teacher like you back then, maybe I could've tested into a good University."

Wang Erhai replied with a sentence.

The two began chatting back and forth.

Zhang Yueran talked about things she encountered in class.

Wang Erhai talked about his Third Brother's matters.

He told Zhang Yueran that his Third Brother's girlfriend's family had met with a mishap, but his parents still supported his Third Brother and his girlfriend being together.

"My Third Brother is proposing to his girlfriend on National Day."

Wang Erhai said this.

"Your parents are quite open-minded then, they didn't break them up over this!"

Zhang Yueran answered this.

Wang Erhai smiled and replied:

"They just hope we get married early. Aside from that, they have no other requirements!"

Wang Erhai chatting with Zhang Yueran about his Third Brother's matters wasn't just idle chat — he wanted to tell Zhang Yueran that if they really could get together, his parents absolutely would not become an obstacle.

"Then do you want to get married early?"

Zhang Yueran asked.

Wang Erhai said half-jokingly:

"I do. Just a pity I haven't found anyone willing to marry me yet."

"Then what do you think of me?"

Zhang Yueran sent such a message.

Wang Erhai saw this message and was a bit dazed.

For a moment he didn't know how to answer.

He wasn't sure.

Because he and Zhang Yueran had only been getting along for a short time.

His previous few relationships all established quickly, ending up a total mess in the end.

So this time, he'd become much more cautious.

"You're a pretty good person."

Wang Erhai hesitated for a good while before typing out these few characters.

Just about to send it.

But discovered Zhang Yueran had recalled that message just now.

"Be patient, you'll definitely find someone suitable."

Zhang Yueran sent another such message.

Wang Erhai deleted the text in the input box and retyped:

"Mm-hmm, you too."

Just sent it, and he already regretted it a bit.

Isn't this indirectly saying they're not suitable?

He hurriedly tried to salvage the situation:

"Are you free this weekend?"

Zhang Yueran, however, said:

"I'm afraid I'm not free; I still have some things to be busy with."

Wang Erhai looked at the message she sent, and immediately felt a bit panicked.

Feeling he had messed up.

Damn, could it be that Zhang Yueran mistakenly thought he had given her a 'good person card'?
