Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: The Decision
Judging by the situation here, the two of them should be about the same. After all, Xiaoqin agreed to come, and Zhiqiang is really quite good.
After a short while, the two came out. Neither of them were embarrassed like young people. So when Yang Zhiqiang came out, he smiled with Da Liang and his wife, "Uncle Liang, Auntie, Xiaoqin and I have discussed it. We’ve decided to form a family. Thank you, Auntie."
Da Liang’s wife laughed, "Great, that’s wonderful. My niece will be in the same village as me.
If neither of you have any objections, then we’ll head back. Tomorrow I’ll go talk to your mom. We’ll handle everything as it should be, okay?"
Of course, Yang Zhiqiang had no objections. Even though he was getting married for the second time, he didn’t want to make the woman with him feel wronged.
They politely saw the Yu Family off, and immediately locked the door and headed back to the village by cart.
Tomorrow is a day off. It’s just right to go home, and mom and dad must be quite anxious to find out the results, right?
On the way, father and son didn’t say a word. It’s still quite cold now. Shubao was sitting in the back, sheltered from the wind by his father, but it was still quite chilly.
Today, Hu Chunhua was thinking that her son would definitely come back. So when she heard the knock on the door, she quickly went downstairs to open it.
"Mom."
"Grandma."
"Hurry and come inside, have you eaten yet? There are sweet potatoes on the stove, they’re roasted and ready now."
Once inside, father and son sat down to drink water, ridding themselves of the cold wind in their bellies.
"Mom, you should hurry and get on the warm bed, it’s too cold down here."
"How did it go? Is the girl from the Yu Family all right?"
Yang Zhiqiang nodded, "She’s fine. We talked it over, and we both agreed."
This made Hu Chunhua feel relieved. "Since that’s the case, tomorrow you should stay here. We’ll go to the Yu Family to propose. We’ll do whatever needs to be done."
"Mom, I appreciate all the trouble you’re taking."
"Well, it’s because you’re my son, isn’t it? Dad, you should go ask Aunt Liu about dates early tomorrow. If we can get married before the new year, that would be great.
Whether we have money or not, getting a wife is good for the new year. This way, the family will be complete."
"Alright, I’ll go ask early in the morning. But you don’t know the auspicious dates for the bride. We should discuss and choose the date with the Yu Family."
Hu Chunhua thought for a moment and didn’t say much else. Actually, she didn’t quite believe in those calculations either.
After drinking water, Shubao sat by the stove eating roasted sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes were fragrant and sweet, extremely delicious to eat. What child doesn’t like them? Plus, they were warm.
The family lay down to sleep, and in Yang Zhiqiang’s heart, there was only Yu Xiuqin, the neat, charming, and beautiful woman who was about to become his wife.
To be honest, right now in Yang Zhiqiang’s heart, any woman was better than Zhou Minli. Had it not been for her scheming, it wouldn’t have been Zhou Minli back then.
Mom didn’t approve of Zhou Minli at that time; I was just stubbornly bent on marrying her. And now my life has turned out this way.
If I had listened to Mom, probably things wouldn’t be like this. But it’s not too late now; I won’t be unreasonable anymore.
They are family, and parents do have my best interests at heart. I will have a wife again in the future, the warm, cozy life with a wife and kids will be mine too.
I didn’t sleep well throughout the night; it was mainly because I was really quite excited.
Early the next morning, Da Liang’s wife came over. Seeing Zhiqiang and his father at home, she smiled.
"Well, you already know, right?"
"Yes, I was even planning to find you. How about we go together to propose? They’re at that age where there’s no point in delaying. We should quickly set their engagement. Let’s discuss a date, get the two married, and let them celebrate the new year as a family. This way the kids won’t feel pathetic staying single."
"Chunhua, you’re always in a rush to do things."
"How can I not be anxious? I want my son to have a good life."
"Okay, they went home together with mom and daughter last night. It’s fine to propose today. When are we leaving?"
"Go back and put on your coat, I’ll come pick you up in a while."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you at home." She knew Hu Chunhua was a sensible person, and wouldn’t let anyone find fault with the way she handled things.
After seeing Da Liang’s family off, Hu Chunhua began to prepare the engagement gifts.
The fabric was good quality, sent over by Yuanyuan. There was also brown sugar and pastries. The only thing missing was meat, although there was a piece at home bought from the village over ten days ago. But since no one had slaughtered a pig today, that’s all we could manage.
Once everything was ready, Yang Minggang drove the cart back. This time it was the four of them going over, plus they had to pick up Da Liang’s family.
Seeing the engagement gifts on the cart, Da Liang’s family was quite pleased. The gifts were one aspect, but the main thing was the attitude, which showed just how much they valued Xiaoqin.
The two villages aren’t far apart, but it still takes an hour to get there.
The Yu Family had no clue about this. Yu Xiuqin was washing clothes at home, sitting directly in the yard scrubbing on a washboard.
She heard the commotion and saw the carriage outside the door, and at the same time saw Yang Zhiqiang.
She quickly stood up, called out as she turned her head, and brushed her hands on her apron, ready to go out and greet them.
The Yu Family couple heard the noise and came out too, seeing their sister-in-law come over, along with Yang Zhiqiang and his father.
Seeing them getting off the cart with gifts, it was clear they were here to propose.
Of course, the Yu Family was happy. This showed that they valued their daughter.
A few more people came out behind them, the two sons and their families from the Yu Family.
The Yu Family warmly greeted them. Honestly, no one was naive.
Yu Xiuqin was still in a daze—it was for a marriage proposal, but she was also secretly relieved.
The Yang Family was invited inside the house, where the old lady sat on the bed, smiling at them. The eldest granddaughter was definitely a good one. If she lived a lifetime, she would never want to part with her.
Hu Chunhua greeted the elderly woman warmly, and the Yu Family was equally hospitable.
"Auntie, I came over myself, mainly because we’ve taken a shine to Xiaoqin. Such a wonderful girl must be married into the family quickly."
Hu Chunhua’s words were beautifully phrased. The Yu Family loved to hear them.
"Zhiqiang is also a good one, and our family is fond of him too."
With both families agreeing, things were easily settled. They began discussing the wedding date.
"Auntie, Yu Family sister-in-law, I will speak frankly. Both of them are parents themselves, and fate brought them together. I think it would be wonderful if they could get married before the new year."
Honestly, whether it’s Zhiqiang or Xiaoqin, living a lone life with their kids does make us parents’ hearts ache.
Once they are married, they will have each other. They’ll consult on everything for their days ahead, and there’ll always be someone to lean on if needed."
Yu Xiuqin’s mom nodded in agreement. She hoped her daughter would marry soon, not wanting to wait another day.
