Traveling through 70, reborn officers with various pets

After listening to his father's words, Ou Xuyao ​​thought calmly for a whole night. The next day, during his lunch break, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Zhao Ru.

"Xiao Ru, I have something to tell you. Let's go out for dinner together after get off work tonight and talk about it, okay?"

Zhao Ru nodded and agreed.

She could probably guess what was going on because Zhao's mother had talked to her and asked her to express her attitude towards whether she and Ou Xuyao ​​had been dating for two or three months and what their plans were for the future.

Zhao's mother's original words were, "Xiao Ru, you have been dating Xu Yao for such a long time, you should have a certain understanding of his character and all aspects, right? This is almost the same, do you think you can have a future with him, just lay it out and tell him, if it's not suitable, let's not drag him down."

"Mom knows what you're thinking, but you have to know that whether you get married or not, you're still the daughter of the Zhao family. Getting married only means you'll have the identity of a daughter-in-law of a different family, but our family will have half a son. You're worried that your in-laws won't let you take care of us in our old age after you get married. You can talk to Xuyao ​​about this. Your dad and I are not very old and can still do things and take care of ourselves. Don't let your dad and I delay your lifelong event, okay?"

"Besides, the Ou family is open-minded. As in-laws, it's only natural for them to interact more often. Look at Xuyao's sister. Even after she got married, she still often sends things to her parents' home. As for being filial to the elderly, you two just need to communicate and coordinate well. It won't affect anything."

Zhao Ru has been thinking about what her mother said these days. She thought that she couldn't just subconsciously assume that no one would be willing to support the girl's parents just because of the issue of her parents' retirement. This would be unfair to Ou Xuyao.

It's not a good idea to put a accusation on him without even asking him what he thought.

So when Ou Xuyao ​​came to ask her out at noon, she agreed without thinking too much.

She thought to herself that if they couldn't come to an agreement in the end, the worst that could happen would be a breakup, which wouldn't be a big deal.

"Ding ding" Shortly after the end of get off work, the sound of bicycle bells was rang outside the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhao Ru looked up and found that it was Ou Xuyao ​​who came to pick her up from get off work on his bicycle. The corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.

"Sorry, I got off work a little late today."

Ou Xuyao ​​looked at the person in front of him and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, I rode a little faster today. Are you done with your work?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Ru nodded, "Let's go!"

The two of them came to a state-owned restaurant not far away. It was crowded at this time, and they finally found a quiet place in the corner. "Xiao Ru, please sit down first. I'll go order the food. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Because she was preoccupied with things, Zhao Ru had no appetite and just ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodle soup.

Ou Xuyao ​​didn't say anything. He just parked his bicycle and paid ten cents to the old man who was in charge of looking after the bicycles nearby, asking him to help look after his bicycle.

Then I went to the service window and ordered a serving of cabbage and pork dumplings, a bowl of tomato and egg noodle soup, a potato stew and a cabbage and tofu soup.

"Take this sign and come and serve the dishes when you are called." After taking the money and receipt, the waiter directly handed him a card and asked him to wait to be called.

Ou Xuyao ​​saw that it would take some time for the food to be served, so he returned to the dining table and sat down.

"Xiao Ru, you must be hungry. How about some snacks first?" Ou Xuyao, who had just sat down, took out some snacks from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Ru.

The latter took it and put it aside. "I'm not very hungry yet, I'll be fine after a while. You specially asked me to come out for lunch today, don't you have something to talk about? Let's talk about what we want to talk about before the food is served."

Zhao Ru is not a person who likes to drag things out. Since some things need to be discussed, she should say them straightforwardly. If they can accept it, then continue; if not, then separate.

Ou Xuyao ​​cleared his throat after hearing this, stared at the girl opposite him and asked, "Xiao Ru, I want to ask you a question, have you thought about our future? Or have you thought about when we will get married?"

Hearing Ou Xuyao's words, Zhao Ru was stunned for a moment, "Xuyao, you know my family's situation. If you want to marry me, you must provide for my parents in their old age. Can you accept this? Or can your family accept it?"

"I have discussed this matter with my parents. After we get married, your parents will also be my parents, and their retirement care will be the same as my parents'. If you don't believe it, then after we get married and have children, one of them can have your surname Zhao. Would you feel more confident then?" Ou Xuyao ​​felt that his words were not sincere enough, and he even lost a child.

But he really wanted to do this, not just talk about it.

Zhao Ru was stunned when she heard Ou Xuyao’s words. The child will take the woman’s surname?

This is a really good suggestion!

But it seems that no husband's family would be happy for their grandchildren to take their daughter-in-law's surname, right?

"Are you serious?" Zhao Ru asked after a while, recovering from her shock.

"Yes! A real man's word is as good as his words!" Ou Xuyao ​​nodded firmly and promised.

After the two of them reached an agreement and finished their meal, Zhao Ru was sent home by Ou Xuyao.

When they got home, they both told their parents what they had discussed, and the reactions from both sets of parents were different.

"You are such a stubborn girl. Why didn't you stop Xuyao ​​from saying that? How can a child have the woman's surname? How will people view our family in the future?"

When they heard that one of their children would take the woman's surname, Zhao's parents disagreed, fearing that their daughter's in-laws would have objections after she got married.

It is incredible that the company only provides for the girl's parents in their old age, so how can the child be given the girl's surname?

Zhao Ru repeatedly assured that this was Ou Xuyao's initiative, not her request, but Zhao's parents still had doubts, "Okay, since you both want to get married, your father and I will find a time to sit down and talk with Xuyao's parents."

Seeing her parents' attitude, Zhao Ru didn't know what to say. She just sat there, feeling depressed and silent.

After Ou Xuyao ​​returned home, he told his father and mother the results of his communication with Zhao Ru, and asked them to help discuss the marriage with Zhao's parents.

"Ha! You little brat are really good! In order to win the beauty, you even give up your own child to give the child his surname!" Father Ou teased him directly.

But no matter what surname the child takes, aren’t they all your grandchildren? What does it matter?

"Okay! We got it! I will discuss with your father in the next few days to see how to arrange the betrothal gifts and other things. You should also think about what kind of betrothal gifts and wedding you want to give to Xiaoru. When the time comes, please ask your aunt Huang to go with you to propose marriage." Mother Ou was speechless when she saw her son with a conspicuous bag in front of her.

Since my son has promised to do it, I have to do it no matter what.

A man cannot go back on his word!
