Xiao Hongyan opened the door, and all three of the family

looked at her. She just remembered why she went out.

"Dad; second sister; third brother. Brother Licheng has

just been here."

Second sister Xiao Hongxia got up and gave Xiao Hongyan the

stool to sit on, and poured her a cup of herbal tea. Xiao Hongyan took a sip of

water and sat down, thinking about it, without speaking.

"Little sister, you are talking, this marriage is still

not married." One is a little sister and the other is a brother. Although

his heart is biased towards his own sister, he is a really good brother. The

little sister married Wang Li Cheng, he was relieved.

"Dad, do you want me to get married now?"

"Yes."

"I don't want to." The second sister didn't say

anything, saying that what she was thinking about was the third brother Xiao

Jiandang, and what she didn't want was Dad.

After Xiao Jiandang finished speaking, he regretted it,

lowered his head and moved to the corner again.

"Why?"

"Young girl, what did you think, and what did the kid

say?" The young girl wanted to marry, and he couldn't stop her. The

reaction from the founding party just now showed that Wang Licheng was not bad.

Although his son is sometimes unreliable, he loves his sister a lot, and will

not push his youngest daughter into the fire pit.

"Dad, Brother Licheng wants to get married now and have

a drink next year."

"What do you mean?"

"Just get the license now, and get a drink next

year."

"No, the wedding and the drink must be done together."

Who knows if they don't get married? Or that kid's family is so poor that they

don't even have money for wine.

"Why do we have to do it together?"

"Who knows that you are married if you don't have a drink?

The purpose of the drink is to tell others that you are married. Youngest

daughter, tell Dad, whether that kid has no money or is unwilling to pay for

it." When he was looking for Wang Licheng today, he visited their store,

and he didn't look like he had no money.

"Dad, what do you think?" Brother Licheng is not

such a stingy person.

"Then he always has a reason! Why does he do it this

year and next year?" It's not that he is pessimistic, no one will know

that they are married if they don't do alcohol, and even if they divorce next

year, no one will know that Wang Licheng has no burden at all.

"Brother Licheng wants to build a house next

month." In fact, she can live where Brother Licheng can live, and she

feels that there is no need to hold drinks because the house is delayed until

the end of the year.

"Build a house?"

"Well, Brother Licheng means that the house is built

and then you can do the wine."

"Okay, let's not talk about it in advance, Hongxia and

the founding party will also go back!" Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, both

sons and daughters are married, Go home early for a family reunion.

He also has to think about the matter of the youngest

daughter. Building a house is always a good thing.

Xiao Hongxia and Xiao Jiandang went back with a box of moon

cakes each. Xiao Daxing has been a mechanic for decades and brought many

apprentices. Many people give gifts every year during the festival.

Wang Licheng returned to the store and let Mazi watch the

store by himself, and dragged Liu Fengzhen to the upstairs room.

"Mom, I'll bring Hongyan here tonight, so you can

meet."

"Son, what happened to you last night?" She never

had a chance to ask her son, and now she heard that his son was going to bring

someone home, what might have happened to them last night.

"The hotel ran out of rooms last night. We lived in one

room with two beds, and we all slept in one, and nothing happened." What

should be made clear should be made clear, lest Mom misunderstand.

Even if nothing happened between the son and the girl, they

always slept in the same room for one night. "What are your plans, do you

recognize that girl?"

"Mom, I want to marry her."

"What about the girl's family? Have you met?" She

hasn't even seen the girl and her son is about to get married, very suddenly.

"Hongyan's father and brother came to the store at noon

and knew what happened to us in Jiangcheng last night."

"Did they do anything to you?" Liu Fengzhen

nervously looked at her son up and down, left and right, back and forth. It is

always the woman who suffers from this kind of thing, and she has seen the woman's

family trouble the man.

"Mom, I'm fine. I want to wait until Mom sees Hong Yan

tonight, so that we can settle our marriage as soon as possible." He had

to finish his mother's work first, and then he could communicate with Hong

Yan's family about the marriage.

"Will the house be built yet?" She asked her

daughters and sons-in-law to contact the building materials, and she will wait

until next month to start construction. If her son is married now, building a

house will not be a matter of a while, and you can't do without wine or marriage

room.

"Yes." The brothers-in-law have helped him get in

touch with the mason, and he wants to make wine in the new house. "Mom, I

want to get a marriage certificate first, and then I'll do the wine after the

house is built."

"Will the other girl agree?"

Wang Licheng had a headache, even Liu Fengzhen thought so,

can Xiao Hongyan's family agree with his idea?

Wang Licheng waited for Xiao Hongyan at the intersection

ahead of time after dinner.

Xiao Hongyan deliberately put on the dress she bought in

Jiangcheng yesterday, sat on the back seat of Wang Licheng's bicycle, and put

her arms around Wang Licheng's waist.

"Don't be nervous, it's just like seeing your elders.

Your mother is very good, and you will get along well."

Xiao Hongyan secretly rested her head on Wang Licheng's back

and didn't speak. She must fight this battle well and make a good impression on

Brother Licheng's mother.

Wang Licheng took Xiao Hongyan to the store, and Liu

Fengzhen had been waiting at the door.

Mother took Hong Yan upstairs, leaving Wang Licheng alone to

watch the store downstairs.

Half an hour later, the two came downstairs talking and

laughing. After they got down, Liu Fengzhen kept holding Xiao Hongyan's hand.

"Licheng, you send Hongyan home, and treat the girl

well, you know?" This girl has an appetite for her, is easy to get along

with, and can talk, mainly because her son likes her. What the son likes, even

if she doesn't like it, she will slowly accept it. Fortunately, this girl is

good, and she will come with her.

When she went back, Xiao Hongyan was still sitting on the

back seat of Wang Licheng's bicycle. This time, she hugged her tighter and got

closer. Just upstairs, Li Cheng's mother asked her to call her mother instead,

and gave her a red envelope, which she accepted.

Regardless of whether Dad agrees or not, she will marry and

became a relative. Mom is really like what Licheng said. She is nice and easy

to get along with. She didn't embarrass her, and told her something about

Licheng. She also promised Brother Licheng's mother to get married this year.

"Brother Licheng, Dad asked me to take you home."

When she came out of the house, Dad specially asked her to take Brother Licheng

home.

"Okay, I see that you and your mom get along pretty

well, so don't worry about it now. When you get married, I will treat you well,

and so will my mom." So you don't have to worry, just marry me at ease. .

"Well, I'll go back to school tomorrow to get the

certificate." She stole the household registration book and asked Licheng

to get the certificate first.

Wang Licheng locked the bicycle downstairs and followed Xiao

Hongyan upstairs. This was the first time he came to Xiao Hongyan's house, and

he should have brought something. He was about to buy some tobacco, alcohol and

non-staple food on the way, but was stopped by Xiao Hongyan.

Xiao Hongyan's house is in the courtyard of the boiler

factory, a small building built in the early 1980s, four stories high, and

Hongyan's house is on the second floor.

Xiao Hongyan opened the door, her father Xiao Daxing was

sitting in the living room drinking tea, the TV was off, and he should be

waiting for them.

"Youngest daughter, go back to your room first, and

I'll have a chat with Wang Licheng."

"Hello, Uncle Xiao." Wang Licheng stood beside

Xiao Daxing and waited for Xiao Daxing's words.

"Let's sit down and talk."

"Thank you, uncle."

Why did he feel that this kid has changed into a gentleman?

He doesn't look like a mechanic, but he is literate and can come with a young

girl.

He gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Except for the

youngest daughter, the others did not like to study. They were rough people

like him and liked to be rough.

The youngest daughter and the eldest daughter-in-law have

the highest educational level in the family. The two of them have been very

close over the years, and they have a lot to say every time they meet. The

eldest son said that they are all literate people, and the things they talk

about are different from their rough people.

Xiao Daxing was also worried that Wang Licheng was a

mechanic like him, and he was a rough man. He was afraid that he would not come

with the youngest daughter. Now he is relieved.

"I heard from the youngest daughter that you plan to

build a house and then get married?" In his old thinking, having a drink

is considered marriage.

"No, I want to get married first, and the house will be

built before drinking." He wanted to confirm Hong Yan as soon as possible,

and didn't want to waste time falling in love. Now he has to make money

quickly. The 14th National Congress will be held next year. He wants to make a

fortune when the wave of layoffs comes, and then find a way out. When he has a

good life, he will compensate Hong Yan well.

What kind of marriage can you settle without drinking

alcohol?

"No, I have to serve wine."

Xiao Daxing's attitude was very tough. When Xiao Hongyan in

the room heard her father's loud objection, she was as anxious as an ant on a

hot pan.

The two people in the living room did not speak after Xiao

Daxing protested. It was Xiao Daxing who took a sip of the tea cup first, and

Wang Licheng watched him put the cup down before opening his mouth.

"Uncle Xiao, I want to marry Hong Yan, and I want to

give her a comfortable living environment." The house must be built. He is

used to living in a shop now. There is no water heater or toilet at home, so he

will not be used to it. Besides, after the house is built, they will live

comfortably.

He also wanted his daughter to marry and live in a big

house, with everything in the house and a good life.

He is very contradictory. He is married now, and the house

is old and small. After the house is built, he will marry again, not to mention

that the youngest daughters disagree with him, he is also afraid that there

will be many dreams at night.

As for Wang Licheng's idea of getting a license first and

then serving a drink, he didn't think about it. In his eyes, it was

hooliganism.

"Then wait for the house to be built next year."

He really couldn't see the youngest daughter being wronged, and if the youngest

daughter was to blame, it was him!

Xiao Hongyan kept her ear against the door to eavesdrop.

Hearing his father's words, he opened the door and rushed out, "Not

good."

"Hongyan, you go in first, I'll talk to my dad, and dad

will agree." He smiled and winked at Xiao Hongyan.

Xiao Hongyan blushed and closed the door and entered the

room.

Looking at the two people who were still flirting in front

of him, and the "Dad" in the boy's mouth, he was so hot that he had

nowhere to go, so he took a sip of tea, and it was good for a long time without

burning his mouth.

"Uncle Xiao, calm down. I don't know why you are so

opposed to getting the license first. The marriage certificate is issued by the

state and has legal effect. The real proof of the relationship between husband

and wife is the marriage certificate. If it's not a drink, it's a legal husband

and wife, and it's not necessary to get a certificate."

He knew about this, but others didn't. No one would know

that his youngest daughter was married without drinking.

"Anyway, if you have to do wine, Hongyan will be

considered to marry you, not if you don't."

"Uncle, do you think this will work? I and Hongyan will

get the certificate first. She still lives at home before the wine, and I will

take the wine on the day. Marry her back. Do you think this will work?" It

doesn't seem very good to let Hong Yan live with him in the store after getting

married, so he will take a step back, anyway, he wants a marriage certificate

with legal effect.

This idea is not bad, not only let them get married first,

but also don't have to marry the youngest daughter immediately.

"Okay, let's do it like this."

They chatted a few more words, and agreed that the next

Saturday, September 28, the two families would meet to discuss marriage, and

Wang Licheng left.

Hearing the door closing, Xiao Hongyan came out of the room

with red eyes.

"Dad, thank you."

"What's the matter? Do you want to get married? I'll

chase that kid back right away." After speaking, he really got up and went

to open the door.

"Dad." Xiao Hongyan came from behind Xiao Daxing

with a shy and dissatisfied voice.
