Not long after, Yang Chen followed the shy Xu Huizhen all the way to the Xu residence.
There were many people gathered in the courtyard, men and women, old and young.
When his gaze swept past one of the women, Yang Chen immediately recognized her.
That's right, the woman was Xu Huizhen's cousin, Xu Huizhi.
After entering the house, Xu Huizhen didn't greet anyone. Instead, she tried to enter the house immediately.
After seeing Xu Huizhen's actions, Xu Huizhi suddenly reached out and pulled her back.
"Sis, aren't you going to introduce my future brother-in-law?”
"What nonsense are you talking about?”
Seeing her daughter's shyness, yet her eyes were shining brightly, Mother Xu, who was holding her walking stick, immediately realized."This marriage is almost certain.”
If the daughter was satisfied, the mother would naturally be happy too.
Therefore, Mother Xu also took the initiative to tease her." Huizhen, your 9th master taught you how to read and write since you were young. Now that there are guests in the house, can't you talk to us properly?”
"Mommy…"
"Be good and don't embarrass the young man. Quickly introduce him to Mommy.”
Because of Mother Xu's words, Xu Huizhen said generously,"Yang Chen, let me introduce you. These two are my parents…"
Before Xu Huizhen could finish her sentence, Yang Chen had already said politely,"Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I'm Yang Chen.”
"Good, good. Chen Zi, right? Don't just stand there, take a seat."
"Auntie, don't get up. I'll do it myself.”
Mother Xu's face was pale, and there was almost no trace of flesh color. She was also holding a walking stick, and it was obvious that it was very inconvenient for her to move.
In her memory, Xu Huizhen gave birth to her eldest daughter and returned home. In the end, her parents were no longer around.
From this, it could be seen that Father Xu and Mother Xu were already beyond cure.
"Chen 'zi, do you smoke?"
"Uncle, don't be busy. I don't smoke.”
Father Xu was probably a man of few words.
However, ever since Yang Chen entered, his gaze had never left. It was obvious that as his father-in-law, he had been secretly observing and considering Yang Chen.
"Yang Chen, this is Ninth Master. Not only is he the Village Chief of our Xu Family Village, but he is also the Patriarch of our Xu Family.”
In contrast to Father Xu and Mother Xu, although they were old and had white hair, the old man was still hale and hearty.
As soon as Xu Huizhen finished speaking, Yang Chen took the initiative to greet her and said,"9th master, this junior greets you.”
"Haha, you're quite slick. This is very commendable.”
Ninth Master laughed as he waved his hand to signal Yang Chen to sit beside him.
After Yang Chen sat down, 9th master said to Father Xu and Mother Xu,""As the old saying goes, too hard is easy to break, too soft is weak. It is also said that the best way to live is to be as good as water. This young man was not bad. He had the ability and capability. He was also tactful in dealing with people. If Huizhen followed him, she would definitely be blessed in the future.”
Sure enough, the older the wiser. Combined with the relevant information mentioned by Aunt Wang, it was the first time they met Yang Chen today. In the end, 9th master was 80 - 90% right.
Seeing this, Yang Chen also looked at Ninth Master in a new light.
"Sis, you haven't introduced us yet.”
"What are you guys in a hurry for? I can't do it according to seniority."
It was true that Xu Huizhen grew up in the countryside, but just as Mother Xu had said, she had been educated by Ninth Master since she was young, so she knew etiquette and the big picture.
The reason why Xu Huizhen introduced her parents first was because it was the first time Yang Chen, her future son-in-law, had visited her home.
"Yang Chen, the rest of the people are my second uncle and second aunt's family. It's just that their family has a large population, so Huizhi has been living in my house since she was young.”
Although Yang Chen did not have a good impression of Xu Huizhen's second uncle and aunt, he did not embarrass them.
At least on the surface, he was enthusiastic.
After some pleasantries and getting to know each other, Yang Chen took the initiative to speak,"Uncle, Auntie, is there anything else you need to know about my situation?”
"Chen, according to what Aunt Wang said, since your personal conditions are so good, why don't you find a girl from the city?”
Just like Xu Huizhen, Mother Xu was still puzzled by this question.
"Auntie, as the old saying goes, when you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous one. Huizhen is the virtuous wife in my heart. Also, I was carrying out a secret mission in 49 City and happened to meet Huizhen, so I fell in love with her at first sight.”
At this point, Yang Chen said with a serious expression,"Uncle, Aunty, in front of Ninth Master and Aunt Wang today, I promise you that as long as Huizhen follows me, if she suffers any grievances in the future, you two will slap my ears in public.”
With Yang Chen's promise, Father Xu and Mother Xu, including Ninth Master, felt much more at ease.
"Ahem…Chen, since you've put it this way, I'll make a public statement today…You've seen what our family is like. As long as you don't mind that we're not of the right family, I'll accept you as my son-in-law! How about this? We just have to wait for the good days. When the time comes, you and Huizhen can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate.”
Although Father Xu was sick all year round, there was no doubt that as long as he was alive, he would be the master of the house.
When she heard that her father had decided on this marriage in public, Xu Huizhen's gaze towards Yang Chen had also changed. There was less shyness and more affection, as well as a yearning for a better life in the future.
Seeing that the marriage was confirmed, Aunt Wang immediately smiled and said,"Huizhen's parents, Ninth Master, and your Third Master? When it's done, leave all the matters of the wedding to me. When the time comes, I guarantee that Huizhen will get married in a grand manner.”
Aunt Wang took the initiative to take on this matter. In the end, it was better to sell Yang Min.
However, it was undeniable that during this process, Aunt Wang not only spent a lot of time and energy, but she also sincerely thought for Yang Chen.
After having lunch at the Xu family's residence, Aunt Wang went to find Yang Chen in private. She told him that her work could not be delayed any longer and that she had to return to 49 City today.
However, Yang Chen did not want to leave for the time being. This was a rare opportunity, so Yang Chen wanted to take this opportunity to interact more with Xu Huizhen. It would be best if they could further improve their understanding of each other.
Fortunately, Aunt Wang knew how to ride a bicycle, so Yang Chen let Aunt Wang ride his bicycle and leave.
