Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Since He Yuzhu and his wife had decided to get married on a whim, at Lou Xiaoe's suggestion, He Yuzhu had to get up and take a piece of paper and pen, and then wrote: "He Xiao, your mother and I have decided to go to Liu's house before the sixth day of the New Year to discuss your marriage. You can ask Ranran's opinion on the phone first."

He Xiao, who was talking on the phone for a long time, looked at the note handed to him by his father. He felt a little excited and could hardly speak clearly.

Liu Ranran on the other end also noticed that something was wrong with He Xiao, and asked anxiously: "Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

He Yuzhu also realized that he was affecting his son's performance, so he patted He Xiao on the shoulder, closed the door and left.

After watching his father leave, He Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ran Ran, I want to discuss something with you."

"Xiao, tell me, what's the matter?"

"My parents want to visit your house on the sixth day of the New Year. Is that okay?"

"Ah~"

"Xiao, wait a minute. I'm going to go tell my parents now."

At this time, in the living room, the whole family looked at He Yuzhu, and Lou Xiaoe asked anxiously: "Zhuzi, did the ninth brother and his wife agree?"

Everyone understood the importance of this meeting, and He Yuzhu also wanted to settle things as soon as possible.

"Xiao'e, what's going on while the two kids are on the phone and I'm waiting by their side? Wait a minute."

Only then did Lou Xiaoe realize that she had lost her composure, but isn't this what all parents are like?

In order to divert everyone's attention, He Yuzhu deliberately asked about the custom of visiting someone's home to discuss marriage. Although customs vary from place to place, it never hurts to be more prepared.

He Yuzhu carefully wrote down the old customs that the elders in the family said, especially Aunt Yi. It was the first time that everyone knew that her ancestral home was in Shandong Province, so her suggestions were even more crucial.

While the adults were busy, He Xiao, who was anxiously waiting in the study, finally heard the phone ring.

"Hey~ My dad isn't here."

In order to prevent the line from being occupied, He Xiao had to sacrifice his father.

He Yuzhu, who had excellent hearing, also exclaimed in his heart, Wow, his own son had such a sinister side?

Finally, after He Xiao "sold" He Yuzhu three times, he received a call from Liu Ranran.

"Hey~Xiao, my parents said that the journey is long, so if you have any questions, just contact me by phone."

He Xiaoqi didn't understand that this was a consent. The final decision on this matter still lay with the parents of both parties, and they were just messengers.

"Ran Ran, wait a moment, I'll ask my dad to call my uncle."

Liu Ranran on the other end of the phone also hung up immediately. The young couple was busy and happy, but they were also enjoying it.

"Dad, Mom, Ran Ran's family agreed, but they're worried that the journey is long and unsafe, so they said we can just contact them by phone if anything happens."

"Silly son, they are just being polite. You can't be so honest."

"Mom, I understand. I just want you and my dad to strike while the iron is hot and call Uncle Liu right now~"

He Xiao even blushed a little after he finished speaking.

He Yuzhu did not delay and stood up and said to Lou Xiaoe: "Wife, let's go and call Brother Liu."

As soon as the call was made, the Liu family picked up the phone immediately. The person who answered was Liu Yuntian. They all had a tacit understanding.

After some discussion, the two sides finally decided to meet on the sixth day of the New Year.

Everyone was happy about this matter, except Liu Ranran's brother Liu Ruilin, who was a little depressed. How could his sister be getting married before the New Year was even over?

The two siblings have had a good relationship since they were young, which makes Liu Yuntian and his wife very happy.

"Ran Ran, if anyone in our family is reluctant to let you get married, it's your brother. He feels worse than your father and I. Go and comfort him."

Liu Ranran then realized that she was so excited that she neglected the feelings of her brother who had been taking care of her since he was a child.

So she was very playful like she did when she was a child, hugged Liu Ruilin's neck from behind and started to act coquettishly.

Every time Liu Ruilin got angry, he would fall for Liu Ranran's tricks and would soften his heart within three seconds.

"Ran Ran, there are so many young talents in Lu Province, don't you have any that you like? Do you have to marry so far away?"

"Brother, you know, fate is a wonderful thing. Besides, the capital is not far away. I am counting on you and our father to work hard and go to the capital as soon as possible."

"Ran Ran, you really dare to think..."

"Pressure brings motivation. Our father is in his prime, and you, brother, are a rising star in the police force. Come on, keep going."

Liu Yuntian and Li Shuqin shook their heads as they watched their son being successfully led astray by their daughter. How could their son, who was so meticulous at work, be so easily led astray by their daughter?

In fact, Liu Ruilin knew that he had been led astray by his younger sister, but he told himself that even if he spoiled her, he wouldn’t be able to do so for many years.

Liu Yuntian was thinking about the possibility of his daughter's proposal.

When they heard that they were going to Shandong Province, He Jiaran, who had long been Liu Ranran's best friend, also clamored to go. Lou Xiaoe thought that it would be nice to let Ruyi liven up the atmosphere, so she nodded in agreement.

As for the little fourth daughter who was eager to try.

"Fourth Brother, you've only just started your thesis. You'd better catch up before your father and I come back. Otherwise, you know what's going on."

The girl who was hit in the waist had no choice but to pout and go to pet the dog.

The third child, Shunshun, is extremely filial, just as his name suggests.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'll take care of the grandparents."

"Third brother, you will have to work hard for a few days. Your brother is getting married soon, so don't fall behind too much. Protect your goals first."

He Shun looked at his father who was very active in carrying other people's flower pots, but did not mention a word about his own flower pots, and thought to himself that this was unique.

Since this trip to Shandong Province was for convenience, He Yuzhu discussed with Lou Xiaoe and decided to drive there, even though it would be a bit painful on the road.

Also traveling with them were Ma Hua and Ji Juan's family. Shi Tou originally wanted to go with them, but he had to give up because he had to be on duty in the army.

The three cars set out together and took care of each other on the road, so it was not so tiring and they arrived at Quancheng, the capital of Shandong Province.

The group first found a hotel not far from the Liu family and checked in. Then they used the hotel phone to call the Liu family to report their safety and made an appointment to visit them at 10 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

The next day, before seven in the morning, He Xiao woke up everyone in his family. It was obvious that the young man was anxious.

Originally, Ma Hua and Ji Juan were planning to take their children directly back to Jijia Village in the old district, but were stopped by He Yuzhu.

"Ma Hua, Ji Juan, you two are also He Xiao's elders, let's go together. When we are done with things here, we will go back to Jijia Village together. It will be safer that way."
