Chapter 678 Chapter 679: The clouds have cleared and the moon is bright, a handsome man and a beautiful woman

Huang Jianshan's mother attached great importance to this blind date. She was worried about her son going alone, and she also wanted to see Zeng Xianggui in person. She wanted to know what kind of person her future daughter-in-law was. She would only feel at ease after seeing her with her own eyes.

The mother and son, along with the matchmaker Sister Cao, each rode a bicycle to the grain compound.

Yue Wenxuan also attached great importance to this blind date. He specially asked someone to send a message to his elder sister who lived dozens of miles away. Yue Wenfeng hurried over the day before yesterday afternoon.

After Yue Wenfeng learned about Huang Jianshan's basic situation, she felt very satisfied. She had never thought that there would be such a day after her daughter became a widow.

When she first brought her daughter home, she felt like the sky had fallen. Her daughter had suffered all her life because of her. In the future, she would probably have to marry an old man who had been married for a while, and was destined to be a stepmother.

Who would have thought that this child was so lucky that her uncle was willing to use his connections to find her a temporary job and even supported her to go to a technical secondary school, which changed her fate in an instant.

Originally, her daughter was just a miserable widow who was pointed at by everyone in the countryside. However, with the support and help of her uncle, she suddenly became a female cadre who had graduated from a technical secondary school and was envied by everyone in the city.

Human destiny is so fickle!
After her daughter became a female cadre, Yue Wenfeng's expectations for her daughter's future naturally increased a lot, thinking that she should be able to find a good family to marry. But she still didn't dare to think of such good conditions as Huang Jianshan.

Huang Jianshan was a company-level cadre who was transferred to a police station after graduation. He is now a deputy director at the administrative level 20, with a monthly salary of 70 yuan. In Yue Wenfeng's opinion, Huang Jianshan is already a senior cadre. Compared with such conditions, Huang Jianshan is eight years older than her daughter, so there is nothing to complain about.

What made Yue Wenfeng most satisfied was that Huang Jianshan's ex-wife did not leave him any children, so her daughter would not have to become a stepmother after she got married. In her opinion, this was the most precious thing.

People like her who have lived for most of their lives attach great importance to this point. It is not easy to be a stepmother. No matter whether you are good to the previous children or not, in real life, there will inevitably be many contradictions and various storms. How can there be a peaceful time in such a life?
Even though her daughter had studied at a technical secondary school and was now a female cadre, she originally thought that her daughter would most likely still be a stepmother. After all, her daughter was already 23 years old, so she could only look for a partner who was older than her, and he had to be married. How could a man of such an old age not have children?

As a result, the child's uncle really found a good marriage for her with a wife who was married but had no children. In Yue Wenfeng's opinion, this marriage was so suitable that it would be hard to find even with a lantern.

She had made up her mind to do her best to leave a good impression on her future son-in-law, even if her role was not significant.

In addition, when she was staying with her daughter last night, she had already told her many things in detail. She believed that as long as her daughter did what she said, this marriage would be successful.

Zeng Xianggui's situation is a bit special after all. It is not easy to find a suitable and good match. Now that there is such a good choice, the whole family is very concerned. Compared with Yue Hongying's mentality during the blind date, everyone should pay more attention.

After all, Yue Hongying's personal conditions are so good that she won't have trouble finding a suitable partner. If the first blind date didn't work out, maybe the next blind date will be better. Everyone has this confidence.

When it was Zeng Xianggui's turn to go on a blind date, the whole family no longer had the confidence.

In a situation like Huang Jianshan, it was only by chance that he came across it. If he went looking for it specifically, he might not be able to find it. Even if he was found, it was still unclear whether the other party was willing or not.

After all, with Huang Jianshan's conditions, if he is determined to find a young girl, as long as he lowers his conditions a little in other aspects, there should be no problem.

But Zeng Xianggui, whose conditions are not worse than Huang Jianshan, cannot choose a partner with the same standards. This society is always more demanding to women, and everyone is powerless to change and can only adapt.

When Huang Jianshan and his party arrived at the grain compound, the sun was just rising. The golden sunlight sprinkled on the red brick building, and everything was bright and sunny.

The door of Yue's house was wide open, waiting for guests to arrive.

Sister Cao led the guests to the door, with a smile on her face, and shouted to Yue Wenfeng who had been waiting at the door: "Sister Wenfeng, we are here!"

Yue Wenfeng had been paying attention to the movements in the corridor. When she heard the sound, she hurried out.

She wore a new dress today and combed her hair neatly, looking refreshed.

Yue Yunfeng's old face was filled with a bright smile, and she greeted enthusiastically:

"Hey, Sister Cao, you're here. Please come in!"

Having said that, he led them into the house.

Zeng Xianggui was sitting in the house at this moment, rubbing her hands nervously and looking out the door from time to time.

Seeing her mother and Huang Jianshan coming in, she quickly stood up and greeted them awkwardly, "Aunt Cao, you're here."

When Huang's mother saw Zeng Xianggui, her eyes lit up. Zeng Xianggui was very beautiful in the photo, but she realized that she was even prettier in person. What made her even more satisfied was Zeng Xianggui's temperament. She was a gentle girl who looked virtuous and capable.

She nodded secretly in her heart and thought this marriage was a great one.

Huang Jianshan followed closely in, carrying a heavy basket in his hand, which was obviously a gift for the Yue family. After entering the room, he casually placed it against the wall.

Sister Cao was the matchmaker between the two parties, and she introduced the man and woman to each other enthusiastically. There were many people present today, and they were announced for a long time before everyone took their seats.

Yue Hongying was the waiter today. She skillfully brewed a pot of tea and served it to the guests and the elders at home.

Huang's mother and Yue Wenfeng were serving tea and complimenting each other.

Huang's mother praised Zeng Xianggui for not only being beautiful, but also being a well-educated and elegant girl, who would definitely become a good wife and mother in the future. Yue Wenfeng modestly said that although her daughter had studied at a technical secondary school, she still had a lot to learn.

During their conversation, Sister Cao would occasionally interrupt and praise the match as a match made in heaven. Her words were filled with joy and excitement, as if she had foreseen their happy and fulfilling future.

Seeing Huang's mother's attitude and the smile on Huang Jianshan's face, Yue Wenxuan felt relieved and sat aside calmly.

Amidst the laughter and joy of the crowd, Huang Jianshan and Zeng Xianggui were arranged into a separate room so that they could get to know each other more deeply.

This is Yue Hongying and Zeng Xianggui's room. The room is simply and warmly decorated with a small table, two chairs, and a steaming teapot.

Huang Jianshan sat on the chair and looked at Zeng Xianggui tenderly. He found that Zeng Xianggui was even more beautiful than in the photo, with bright eyes that seemed to speak, and people could never forget them after seeing them.

Zeng Xianggui was also attracted by Huang Jianshan's temperament. His tall and straight figure and calm and introverted personality made her feel safe and secure.

Huang Jianshan is older and married, so he is not as shy as young people.

He had already thought of the topic of conversation. He first asked about Zeng Xianggui's work and life, and then shared his own work experience and plans for the future.

His words were full of confidence and determination, which made people involuntarily feel trust, which was exactly what Zeng Xianggui needed.

Zeng Xianggui also told Huang Jianshan about her growth experience and views on life. Huang Jianshan also admired her sincerity and honesty.

As time went on, the atmosphere between the two became more and more relaxed and pleasant. They began to chat about hobbies, family backgrounds and other topics, and their understanding of each other became deeper and deeper.

During the conversation, they found that they had many common points and similarities, such as ambition and views on family, which made their relationship closer and more harmonious.

Huang Jianshan's admiration for Zeng Xianggui is beyond words. No man would not want to find a beautiful wife, and if the two have a lot in common, it would be icing on the cake.

He felt that Zeng Xianggui was not only beautiful in appearance, but also kind-hearted, smart and capable, and was exactly his ideal revolutionary partner.

He believed that if the two could get together, they would be able to create a happy family together.

Zeng Xianggui's impression of Huang Jianshan also became better and better. She felt that although Huang Jianshan's appearance was a bit ordinary, it was not important for a man. She valued Huang Jianshan's sense of responsibility and calm personality, which she felt were the most important.

The two chatted in the room for about an hour and were then asked to leave by everyone.

After walking out of the room, both of them felt a little regretful. Time seemed too short, as if they had just chatted for a few words and it ended just like that.

Huang's mother and Yue Wenfeng were very satisfied to see the two people's faces were filled with happy smiles. They knew that this blind date was more than half successful, and the rest was the communication and negotiation between the two families.

Huang's mother couldn't help but feel deeply moved when she saw how well-matched her son and Zeng Xianggui were. Her son's marriage was finally settled, and she, as a mother, had accomplished an important task.

It was all his fault as a mother for being so blind that he found such an unfaithful woman for his son. In order not to embarrass his son, his son suffered a great injustice, but he could not tell others the reason, so he had to divorce.

In order to help her son get out of the pain as soon as possible and to fight for the whole family, she has been asking people for help everywhere since her son's divorce, hoping to find a better wife for her son.

But my son is old after all, and this is his second marriage. It is not as easy as I imagined to choose a daughter-in-law who is excellent in all aspects.

Their family was lucky. An old cadre like Director Cao took the initiative to introduce a girl like Zeng Xianggui. The relatives and friends around her were ordinary people, and most of the blind dates introduced were girls without jobs. There was no female cadre like Zeng Xianggui, and she was so beautiful and young. She was really the perfect match.

As for Zeng Xianggui's status as a widow, her family did not mind it. After all, their son was also getting married for the second time, so no one had to look down on anyone else.

Yue Wenfeng was also very happy and satisfied. She knew that the result of this blind date was very important to her daughter, and now it seemed that this marriage would be successful.

According to the original process, Sister Cao, the matchmaker, should have sought the opinions of Huang Jianshan and Zeng Xianggui, but now there was no need to ask. Just by looking at the irrepressible smiles on their faces, I knew what they were thinking.

The marriage of Huang Jianshan and Zeng Xianggui is different from that of ordinary people. After all, they are both second marriages. After a successful blind date, the subsequent procedures usually go faster.

Huang's mother, as the man's mother, spoke first: "I like Xianggui very much. I wish I could marry her right away. I just wonder if our Jianshan is so lucky."

Yue Wenfeng held Huang's mother's hand and said, "Jianshan is steady and reliable, and I like him as well. Xianggui is my youngest daughter, and we treat her like the apple of our eye. If she marries someone else, I will definitely be reluctant, but if she can be your daughter-in-law, I will be 100% relieved."

Huang's mother was so happy after receiving the affirmative reply from her mother-in-law that she couldn't stop smiling. "These two children look like a perfect match. Since they have this idea, we, as elders, have to support them."

Let me first tell you my opinion. Our Jianshan is already 31 years old and it’s time for him to have his own little family. I can’t wait to marry Xianggui tomorrow.

We must not treat such a good daughter-in-law unfairly.

Nowadays, the marriage gift is generally between 80 and 100 yuan. I think it is too little and not worthy of such a good girl like Xianggui.

According to my own thinking, I have to give at least 200 yuan to be barely appropriate. After all, I like Xianggui so much that giving less will not be enough to express my feelings.

This is what I think, but I don’t know what my mother-in-law thinks. "

"It's too much. I think 80 yuan is not a small amount. That's the meaning of the betrothal gift. No matter how much you give, you have to take it back when you get married.

Our family loves our little daughter the most, and we will definitely not keep any betrothal gifts from her."

Yue Wenfeng said sincerely, "Xianggui is a rural child. As a mother, I want to give her the best of everything, but my ability is limited. There will definitely be a dowry, but it can't be as much as city girls.

Of course, although our family is not rich, we will not treat our daughter badly. As for the dowry, two quilts and two blankets are indispensable, which have been prepared in advance; kettles and wash basins will also be provided. In addition, a few more clothes will be added, all new.

After all, we are a peasant family, we are limited in our ability, and the dowry is not much, please don't despise it, mother-in-law."

Yue Wenxuan interrupted, "Xiang Gui has lived with me for so many years, and as her uncle, I will definitely prepare a dowry for her.

I won't bother to arrange the specific things, I have prepared 300 yuan for the child as a small token of my appreciation."

On the surface, Yue Wenxuan could only give this much. It was not that he was reluctant, but he had to consider the feelings of other relatives.

After all, his niece and the niece who is closer to him are not just Xianggui, so the gap cannot be too big.

Xianggui has lived with him for so many years, so it is only natural for him to prepare a dowry for her, and everyone can understand that. But if he gives too much, his other nieces and nephews will definitely have some ideas.

Three hundred yuan is a relatively appropriate amount, a little too much, but considering his status, it is not good to be too stingy, and everyone can understand that.

Huang Jianshan's mother was already surprised that Zeng Xianggui's mother was willing to prepare so much dowry for her daughter's second marriage. Now she was even more excited to hear that Yue Wenxuan, her uncle, was also going to prepare 300 yuan as a dowry.

Mother Huang has never worked in her life and has always been very frugal in her life, so it is inevitable that she attaches more importance to money.

She already thought that her daughter-in-law Zeng Xianggui was perfect in every way, and now that she could bring such a large and generous dowry, she was even more satisfied.

Since the girl's side is willing to prepare so much dowry, she, as the boy's mother, cannot be stingy and must give a lot of betrothal gifts.

Besides, her mother-in-law has already said that no matter how much the betrothal gift is, she will take it back to her husband's family, so what does she have to worry about?
Seeing that the two families had almost reached an agreement, Sister Cao said, "I think the marriage is settled. Both mothers are so satisfied, and the two children are so attracted to each other. It's simply a match made in heaven.

As for the betrothal gifts and dowry, we will follow the opinions of the two mothers. This way, we can show the sincerity of the man's family and the intentions of the woman's family, and have the best of both worlds."

Huang's mother nodded repeatedly when she heard this: "Sister Cao is right, let's do this. Our man's family will definitely make good preparations, give a betrothal gift of 200 yuan, and give Xianggui a grand wedding, so that she can marry into our family with honor."

Yue Wenfeng was delighted when she heard this: "My mother-in-law is a kind person. It is a blessing for Xianggui to marry into your family. I am relieved now."

After the marriage was settled, Huang's mother wanted to marry her daughter-in-law as soon as possible. She took Yue Wenfeng's hand and continued:
"Then let's discuss the wedding date. Jianshan is already thirty-one, and I really want to see him get married and start a family sooner. Do you guys see if there's a good date?"

For Yue Wenfeng, it didn't matter whether her daughter got married one day earlier or later. But she could see that Huang's mother seemed very anxious, so she said:
"It's up to you, the man, to decide the wedding date. We have no objection."

Mother Huang thought for a moment and said, "The eighth day of next month is a good day for marriage. Let's set the date on that day. What do you think?"

It is less than a month away from the eighth day of next month, so this date is really a bit rushed.

But if you miss this auspicious day to get married, it may take months to find another time.

Yue Wenfeng did not add any more trouble and said cheerfully: "I will listen to my mother-in-law. Although the time is a little short, we should be able to make it in time if we hurry up."

After discussing the wedding date, Mother Huang discussed the wedding process with Yue Wenfeng.

She suggested: "Although the situation of our two children is a little special, we can't be careless when getting married this time.

I thought that when the time comes, we can each invite some relatives and friends, set up a few tables of banquets, and have a lively time. Of course, the specific details still need to be discussed by our two families together."

For the bride, the more lively the wedding is, the better. The more lively the wedding is, the more it shows that he values ​​the bride. After all, the wedding banquet is paid for by the groom, which is a huge expense.

Yue Wenfeng was even happier after hearing this. "My mother-in-law is right. Although this is our second marriage, we can't let our child suffer. Let's discuss the specific details together."

Today’s blind date went smoothly. We had everything discussed by just half past ten.

The time ended early, and Mother Huang felt it was not appropriate to stay for dinner, so she got up and said goodbye.

Yue Wenxuan and Yue Wenfeng tried to keep them, but Huang's mother was very determined, so the Yue family had no choice but to get up and see them off.

When Huang Jianshan stood up to leave, Zeng Xianggui followed him closely, and their eyes met, full of reluctance. They knew that from today on, their lives would be closely connected, and they would face the ups and downs of the future together.

After seeing off the guests, Yue Wenfeng returned to the room and looked at Zeng Xianggui who was packing up her things with a relieved smile on her face:
"Xianggui, it's great that this blind date went so smoothly. I think Huang Jianshan is a good man, steady and down-to-earth, a man you can entrust your life to. After you marry him, you must live a good life, be filial to your parents-in-law, and respect your husband, understand?"

Zeng Xianggui stopped what she was doing, turned around, and looked at her mother, tears glistening in her eyes:

"Mom, don't worry. I will live a good life. I know you have been worried about me a lot, and now I can finally let you rest assured."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Yue Wenxuan stopped at the door of the room and did not come in to disturb them.

After dinner, Yue Hongying held Zeng Xianggui's hand and said reluctantly, "You are too fast. You have already set the wedding date after the blind date, and it is the eighth day of next month. It is not even a month away, and it is here in the blink of an eye.

I really can't bear to let you go. If you get married, I won't know who to talk to when I want to. "

Zeng Xianggui had the same idea, but she had been married before, so she was more rational than Yue Hongying. "Don't be reluctant. Even if I won't get married so soon, you will definitely get married in two or three months at most.

Just hold on a little longer, and after two or three months, you will get married, and if you have anything on your mind, you can naturally talk to Li Shuguang.

Don't worry, he is definitely more understanding than me, and you will definitely like to hear his sweet words more.

By that time, even if I want to talk to you again, I'm afraid you won't want to talk to me."

"How can you be so shameless and say anything!"

Yue Hongying's face turned red with shame, and the two sisters started playing with each other.
