Thanks to Hong Yanwu's good mouth, Hong Lucheng finally turned the corner in his heart. No more blocking the marriage of Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya.
When Hong Yanwu told Hong Yanwen the news the next day, Hong Yanwen, who had been stranded in the capital for two days, was overjoyed. It is completely a state of mind where a long drought is met by gentle rain, and a desperate situation is met with hope.
To express his gratitude, he called Xu Chongya out, and the two gratefully treated Hong Yanwu to a meal.
The following night, Hong Yanwen obeyed Hong Yanwu again and ran to the hospital to take Hong Yan's place and took care of Hong Lucheng for the whole night. Thus, the harmony between father and son remained as before.
And this completely calmed down the mood of the Hong family. Xu Chongya also felt reassured and told her parents the good news.
It can be said that Xu Bingquan has gained experience in the officialdom. This "tiger fighting captain" who started his career by relying on the "left" has now also mastered the tricks of the "right". He immediately realized that Hong Lucheng's hospitalization was the best opportunity for reconciliation.
As soon as his mind changed, he simply asked Hong Yanwen to take two more days off. I prepared carefully and soon took my wife and daughter to the hospital to visit Hong Lucheng.
His plan was good. Not only did they bring generous gifts, Hong Yanwen led them in, but also asked the hospital to change Hong Lu into a single ward in person.
As the saying goes, you can't hit someone with a smiling face. In public, this family showed their kindness so diligently. No matter how bad-tempered a person is, it is not easy to humiliate him in front of him and make him feel boring.
As expected, Hong Lucheng cared so much about decent people that he couldn't say an unpleasant word, so he could only say a few words of thanks.
Once they moved into the singles ward, the two families used the private space to discuss their children's marriage.
First we have to set a date.
Winter is not suitable, the weather is cold, mainly because Hong Lucheng injured his hand. It's been a hundred days since my muscles and bones were injured. How can I heal my injuries before doing anything else? Then the bright spring "May Day" has become the best choice.
The second is the house.
Xu Bingquan was very proactive in this regard, not only saying that he would solve the apartment issue for the young couple. Hong Yanwen's transfer back to Beijing was also taken care of.
It is logical that the Hong family will take care of all the clothing, furniture, and electrical appliances for the young couple.
As for the last item, what should I do at the wedding banquet? The Hong family still needs to seek the Xu family's opinion.
Unexpectedly, Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen were very easy to talk to on this point. They just said that they would go back and count up the list of relatives and friends here, and leave it all to the Hong family, so there is no need to be too extravagant.
In this way, this troublesome matter that caused both families a headache and had been entangled for more than half a year was finally resolved properly in this way. It's really just like in the movie "Romance in Lushan", with a relatively happy ending.
The only thing is that there is still a gap between the content of the movie and real life. Although the marriage of Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya has been settled, it cannot be like the ending of a fairy tale. Just say "they will live happily together forever" and it will be over.
How to prepare for the wedding and how to handle it? There are still many troublesome things to do later, so you have to implement them one by one.
Besides, although the two families appear to be harmonious and thoughtful on the surface, they are not necessarily the same on the surface. After all, they are two families with completely opposite value orientations and lifestyles. Everyone has to have their own ideas behind the scenes, right?
For example, the Xu family has a lot of hidden secrets.
When Yu Wanfen had nothing to do, she explained everything she felt was important to Xu Chongya. I'm just afraid that this girl will be stupid and suffer a loss.
To be honest, these two people really know how to plan for their own family.
Let’s talk about time first, the reason why they readily agreed to "May Day". In fact, it is also to leave more time to prepare things for the Hong family, so that the man will not have the excuse of "too late" to make perfunctory decisions.
The only thing to worry about is that the Hong family may use the excuse of not being able to find tickets to spend less money.
But that's okay. The Xu family will get the tickets for all the home appliances and furniture, and will "help" the Hong family with good intentions, and will never cause the Hong family to be "embarrassed."
Secondly, the Hong family has money but no power, so there is definitely nothing they can do about the house and transfer. Since the Xu family is destined to help, it's better to be generous.
The most important thing is that with a house, my daughter does not have to live with her parents-in-law, and she is freed from the constraints and fatigue of daily life. Moreover, the house needs to be made bigger. Not to mention their own dignity, the Hong family will buy a lot of things in order to fill it up.
As for the wedding banquet, although the Xu family did not put any conditions on the surface, they would never let the Hong family save it. They were really frugal.
Because by then the Xu family’s list will be at least seven or eight people. Just for this reason, it would be impossible for the Hong family to hold a running banquet at home. Then we have to move to a big restaurant to be able to spread out.
After hearing what her mother had planned for her, Xu Chongya was stunned. It took him a long time to scream in surprise. "Oh, you and my dad are really calculating."
Yu Wanfen said with a smile on her face, "Huh, what do you know? Although the Hong family is rich, Yanwen still has younger brothers and sisters. When will you not want them now? Why don't we think about it for you? Okay? You're a silly girl who doesn't think about anything. I think even the little daughter-in-law from the countryside is more thoughtful than you."
Of course Xu Chongya was not convinced. He curled his lips and said, "Come on. I'm quite thoughtful, too."
Facts have proved that Xu Chongya does have a lot of "intentions". At least in terms of emotional intelligence, she is much higher than her parents and thinks further.
For example, although she is grateful to her parents for thinking about her, and she does like good things, she loves Hong Yanwen more.
She knew in her heart that it was not easy to get to this point with Hong Yanwen. If she really made her husband's family unhappy because of these material requirements, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse and putting the cart before the horse?
After the wedding, you still can’t get through life? What to do next? After all, those are Hong Yanwen's parents. What's more, the Xu family feels sorry for others. She didn't want to face the Hong family all her life and never be able to hold her head high.
So, after the family found various bills, Xu Chongya handed them over to Hong Yanwen. In fact, she didn't play her cards according to her mother's wishes.
She directly said that she didn’t need to do everything, saying that although her parents wanted her to live a decent life, they had to do what they could. Don't embarrass the Hong family elders. She even gave Hong Yanwen 300 yuan of her savings.
Of course Hong Yanwen was moved, but he did not accept the money. Instead, he said, "We want to go together. But to tell you the truth, I usually don't spend much money except buying books. I have two thousand in my hand." It’s a lot. In fact, we can do it ourselves. There is no need to embarrass the family, and I won’t wrong you.”
This was a surprise that Xu Chongya had not expected, and she was immediately excited.
"Then let's buy a color TV. It's not easy for my dad to get color TV tickets. It's a bit expensive, but if you want to buy a black and white one, don't you have to replace it with a color TV sooner or later? It's a waste of money."
Hong Yan is a little hesitant about this article. It's not that he's afraid of anything else, it's that he feels that his parents haven't picked up color TVs yet, so it's a bit inappropriate for them to enjoy them first.
I want to refuse, but I can’t. Because this was not only the first material request Xu Chongya made to him. And she added later. "I just can't live without the TV. I don't need any other electrical appliances, okay?"
Nothing, in the eyes of Xu Chongya with great expectation. Hong Yanwen really couldn't say "no", so he could only bite the bullet and agree first. I slowly thought about how to mention this to my parents.
But in fact, he has a guilty conscience and worries blindly, which is completely unnecessary. Because this so-called problem does not exist at all.
