Zhou's mother suddenly loosened her grip and looked at Zhou Dan and said, "So... their family doesn't dislike our family?"

"Oh, mom..." Zhou Dan simply curled up in her mother's arms and rubbed her shoulders like she did when she was a child. "Your daughter is now the youngest section-level cadre in the unit and a capable member of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. So many people are lining up to praise her!"

As she spoke, her fingertips poked the soft flesh on her mother's waist. "Besides, you know what kind of personality I have. I would rather die than live in disgrace. Do you think with my personality, if Li Shiwen's family looks down on me, I will date him and get married with him? Definitely not."

"Besides, the last time I went to Beijing to meet his father, didn't I tell you when I came back that his father was very satisfied with me? At that time, his father also said that it was a blessing for Li Shiwen to find someone like me who is both smart and capable to be his girlfriend."

Then, she whispered to Zhou's mother, "Also, if I'm really not well-received, his father will never give me the ancestral jade bracelet, right?"

Zhou Dan's eyelashes cast a butterfly-like shadow under her eyes, but the corners of her lips were raised high, "So, you and Dad should keep your heart at ease. I'm not a love-brained person, so I won't joke about my lifelong event."

Zhou's mother thought of the jade bracelet that her daughter Zhou Dan brought back. The warm touch showed that it was not an ordinary item.

In order to store the jade bracelet, she and her husband bought a safe for the first time in their lives. Otherwise, she would not feel at ease no matter where the jade bracelet was placed, fearing that it would be stolen or bumped.

Now hearing her daughter say this, Zhou's mother felt a little relieved.

She wiped away the tears from her eyes, burst into laughter, patted Zhou Dan's shoulders angrily, and scolded: "You damn girl, you are so unreliable. You have done such a reckless thing in your life.

Do you know how many people are coming to their house this time? We haven’t even prepared any decent treats at home yet!"

Seeing her mother finally smile, Zhou Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Including Shiwen, there will be about eight people in total. His father, two uncles, and aunt will all come, as will his cousin and Jiawei. In addition, we will probably invite a matchmaker."

When Zhou's mother heard the number of people Zhou Dan said would come to their house, she was a little surprised and said, "So many people are coming!" Then she immediately stood up and paced back and forth between the dining room and the kitchen.

Their house has a dining and living room combined, which looked quite spacious before, but when she thought about the people who would be coming to their house tomorrow, the living room suddenly seemed cramped in her eyes.

However, the more people came from the man's side, the more they valued their daughter. Therefore, Zhou's mother was very satisfied with the Li family's arrangement.

After all, even if only Li Shiwen and his son came from the Li family, Zhou's mother would still feel proud.

After all, just with Li Hongxing's current status and position, as long as she stands in her living room, she will tell everyone how much their family values ​​Zhou Dan.

But when I think about it, with so many people coming from the Li family, there can't be too few people on their side. I wonder if so many people can sit down at home at that time.

The more Zhou's mother thought about it, the more she felt that there were too many things to arrange. She looked at her husband and said, "There are so many people from the man's family, so we can't neglect the etiquette here.

How about you call your cousin and ask them to come to your house tomorrow to show your support?"

Their family doesn't have many relatives in Xishi. Only a cousin of Zhou's father and a cousin live in Xishi. At this critical moment, it would be great if they could come home to support Zhou Dan and make the home more lively.

Father Zhou nodded and said, "I'll make the call right away."

When Zhou's father went into the bedroom to make a phone call, Zhou's mother had already started measuring the room back and forth, rubbing here and there with her fingertips, and her brows were getting more and more furrowed.

You really can't look closely at this house. It looks spotless on ordinary days, but now it's full of dust in Zhou's mother's eyes. She even feels that the placement of the vases doesn't seem neat enough.

She turned around and looked at Zhou Dan half complaining and half anxiously: "You two are too hasty! You didn't even inform each other in advance. The house is in such a mess. How are we going to entertain their family tomorrow?"

Mother Zhou frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly her eyes lit up: "I remember! The old lady upstairs hires a professional cleaner to clean her house every week, and the house is very clean.

I'll ask her for the cleaner's contact information and see if they can come over expeditiously tonight.

It doesn't matter if I spend more money, as long as I can keep my house tidy!" As she said this, Zhou's mother was about to walk out the door, her steps hurried, as if she couldn't wait even a moment.

Zhou Dan looked at her mother's frantic look, feeling both amused and distressed. She hurried forward and grabbed her arm, "Mom, please stop making such a fuss! It's not as exaggerated as you think. The house is quite tidy, there's no need to clean it up too much!"

But Zhou's mother would never listen to her. As she was about to leave, she said, "What do you know, kid? The man is here to propose marriage. It's such an important day. We can't be careless at all!"

Then Zhou's mother became angrier and angrier. She reached out and poked Zhou Dan on the forehead and said, "If you had been more thorough, would I be so upset now?"

As she spoke, a long sigh escaped from Zhou's mother's lips.

The Zhou family is not as wealthy and powerful as the Li family, but when it comes to their daughter's lifelong affairs, they cannot compete with them in terms of money and status, but they cannot fall behind in terms of etiquette.

That night, the lights in Zhou's house were on brightly. Two cleaning staff cleaned the house until it was shiny, and Zhou's mother swept the house with a duster, unable to rest for a moment.

Even the wrinkles on the curtains were ironed out. The family worked until four in the morning before finally cleaning the house to the satisfaction of Zhou's mother.

Zhou Dan collapsed on the sofa, she felt that the house was cleaner now than when they first moved in.

Liang Yusen's black car slowly drove into Li Garden. The driver, dressed in a navy blue suit, bent over to open the car door, then carried the gifts from the trunk into the living room.

The preparations included Longjing tea from before the Qingming Festival, pastries from a century-old brand, two bottles of specially supplied Maotai, and two sets of jewelry. The things were not many, but each gift showed the host's thoughtfulness.

Liang Yusen put the gift list on the coffee table, looked at Li Hongxing, and said, "Brother, everything you asked me to prepare is ready. Take a look, is there anything else that needs to be added?"

Li Ronghua sat in the position where Li Hongxing started, looking at the things the driver had just brought in, his face turning pale and blue.

He originally thought that Liang Yusen came so late because he was delayed by something, but when he looked at the gifts neatly stacked in the middle of the living room, his Adam's apple rolled uneasily a few times, and his hands gripping the armrest of the sofa tightened again and again.
