Chapter 373 Fire prevention, theft prevention and best friend protection (27)
After getting off the bus, the family first found a secluded place and tidied each other's clothes. Lao Ding helped Xiao Zhuzi tidy up her frizzy hair, ensuring that the whole family was still in good condition after the torment of the long-distance bus. After some encouragement and reminder, I walked towards the agreed place.
Therefore, the Chen family members that Chen Bai and Xia Zhen met were all energetic.
Chen Bai had just finished introducing both parties, and Xia Zhen's parents, brother and sister-in-law arrived.
When parents from both sides meet, they first praise each other's children.
This is what Lao Chen said: "When Chen Bai came back, he told us that Xia Zhen is a hard-working girl with strong business ability, kind and sincere person, and enthusiastic and sunny. When we saw it today, he really didn't exaggerate at all. . And I have to say that Chen Bai doesn't know how to praise others. He is just like a piece of wood. He is very good, but he gave him an 8-point rating."
Lao Ding said: "I like this child at first sight. It suits my eyes. In my opinion, she is just like our little bamboo, even better than the little bamboo. It's a pity that she and Chen Bai work so far away." We are far away, otherwise, we would be together every day, and I suddenly have an extra daughter, I don’t know how happy I am."
Chen Xiaozhu: "..."
For the record, today is the first day I fell out of favor.
Dad Xia said: "I really told us that Chen Bai helped her a lot in work and life. If the two of them get together in the future, they will definitely be able to help and support each other. When I saw it today, this young man is upright and a good person." OK."
Xia Ma said: "This girl is really not even ashamed. She went home and told us that Chen Bai is a one-in-a-million good young man who is hard to find even with a lantern. When we saw him today, he was indeed a talented man. He's still energetic in the photo. Our family is really real. I'm not bragging. I dare not say anything else. He is a down-to-earth child and respects his elders, which is first-rate."
Chen Bai and Xia Zhen blushed after being praised.Especially Xia Zhen, her mother really praised Chen Bai when she praised Chen Bai, so why did she praise her?How embarrassing this would be in front of my future parents-in-law.A person who has always been cheerful rarely shows a bit of shyness, which makes him look particularly cute.Anyway, Lao Ding fell in love with it.
Xia Ma looked at her, "tsk, tsk, tsk" in her heart, sour water came out, and she gave Xia Zhen a vague look.
Xia Zhen was stared at in confusion. She was very good today and did not provoke her mother.
Next, Xia's father and Xia's mother praised Chen Xiaozhu again and again.
Xia's mother: "This child is really good-looking. He has a good personality and is always smiling. Everyone who sees him will like him."
Dad Xia: "The key is to strive for success. Study well, work well, and parents don't have to worry at all. How wonderful!"
Lao Chen and Lao Ding were not modest either, and responded: "No, our little Zhuzi is indeed a good boy. He is obedient and well-behaved. He has been an intern at our staff hospital for half a year, and there is nothing he cannot praise him for."
Chen Xiaozhu smiled and nodded occasionally.You are right, I am so good.
Lao Ding poked her forehead with his hand: "Look at this child, she is worse than Zhenzhen. She has no sense of humility at all."
As he said this, Old Ding smiled happily than anyone else.Obviously he also thinks that his children are so good.
Xia Ma: "Excessive modesty is pride. Xiaozhu is very good."
After this short exchange, Xia's father and Xia's mother smiled even more happily. The father-in-law and mother-in-law valued their daughter, which showed that they were not patriarchal people, and Zhenzhen would have much less pressure on having children in the future.
Lao Chen and Lao Ding also praised Brother Xia and Sister Xia.Praise brother Xia for being young and promising, and praise sister-in-law Xia for being knowledgeable and sensible.
This wave of commercial exchanges lasted for more than half an hour.When the atmosphere became heated, they began to discuss Chen Bai and Xia Zhen's marriage.
During the conversation, both parents concluded that the other party was an enlightened and charitable elder. On the premise that they had recognized each other, the overall meeting went very smoothly.
Xia Zhen is generous and her family is easy to talk to.Neither party made any requirements for betrothal gifts, dowry or anything like that. They just let the two young people make their own decisions. As long as their parents could do it, they would not refuse.
Xia Zhen said: "This is what Chen Bai and I think. We both have jobs and our wages are not low. We are completely self-sufficient and quite relaxed. We won't discuss betrothal gifts, dowries and so on. Just exchange gifts. With the new style of marriage and the new method, let’s not follow those old principles and keep everything simple.”
Chen Bai continued what she said: "After we get married, it means that when we really grow up, we should take on the responsibility of supporting our parents. We will be filial to both parents. My parents raised me. In order to cultivate I spent a lot of energy and effort. The same is true here. So, instead of discussing dowry and betrothal gifts, we can discuss how much alimony we should give to the elderly."
The two children spoke openly, and the elders on both sides were very satisfied.Especially Xia's father and Xia's mother were a little sad because they were going to marry their daughter. But when the two children said this, the sadness disappeared.
Dad Xia said: "You are all good children. We also have our own income and have enough to spend. We will ask you when we don't have enough. We don't need to pay alimony yet. Just come back and visit us more often when you have time."
Lao Chen also said: "That's it. We both have jobs, and we are both in good health now. You don't need to worry about your daily life. You are still young, so take care of your own family first. If you have any difficulties, you can still talk to us. Open your mouth, but don’t hold it on yourself.”
After this pleasant meeting, the marriage of Chen Bai and Xia Zhen was officially finalized.When spring comes after the new year, they pick the date and arrange the wedding process themselves. If they need anything done by their parents, they make a list and assign the tasks.
Lao Chen: "It's true that we are busy with work, but we can still find time to help our children prepare for their wedding."
Lao Xia: "Even so, we are not big shots on the outside, so we don't have to take care of everything every day, and can't spare a little time. Your life events only happen once in a lifetime, and we must be involved in it."
After the Spring Festival, Lao Chen and Lao Ding got busy and started preparing for Chen Bai's wedding.Children don’t have to give up, but parents can’t give up.They prepared money and various bills, such as bicycle tickets, sewing tickets, foreign exchange coupons, etc., and also prepared a lot of cotton and cloth.
Lao Ding said to Chen Xiaozhu: "When you get married in the future, my mother will also prepare more for you than your brother."
Lao Chen: "Why are you talking about this now? Xiaozhu is only so old, and she still has many years to go before she gets married."
The Xia family's parents prepared similar things.Their idea is also very simple. The old Chen family regards Zhenzhen as their daughter, and they regard Chen Bai as their son, exchanging sincerity for sincerity.
Chen Bai and Xia Zhen always receive double portions of everything.
Chen Xiaozhu learned to knit sweaters from Lao Ding and knitted a beautiful red cardigan for Xia Zhen, which was perfect for her wedding.
Their wedding was held in early April when spring was in bloom, and Chen Xiaozhu also traveled long distances to join in the fun.
It was a joy to attend the wedding, and she was cheered more than anyone else. But after returning to the machinery factory, she collapsed on the bed and swore to Lao Ding: "I will never leave the Jingxi mining area again until the road is repaired." .”
Unless I get a car and drive out on my own.
Lao Ding: "..."
I believe in you.
Who knows when the road will be repaired.If it can't be repaired in ten or twenty years, why don't you leave the factory?
