Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World
Chapter 717 Come to the door
"But after all, he is a high-ranking official now, and we are from a small family. Even if something really happens, there is nothing we can do, right?" It is normal for Xu Hui to be worried.
"Then what do you want to do? Jingping has already been to the Zhao family. It seems that Zhao Cheng's wife does not object to this matter. We can't be so arrogant, right?" Cai Quanwu said.
"It can't be that simple, right? Let's go to the Zhao family tomorrow!" Xu Huizhen suddenly seemed to have made up her mind and spoke directly.
"Mom, which Zhao family are you talking about?" Xu Jingli asked curiously.
"It's the house of Director Zhao whom you met when you were a child!" Cai Quanwu always responded to Xu Jingli's requests, so he quickly said.
"Is this the home of Director Zhao from the Xizhimen Police Station? They're not a wealthy family, are they? They're just a police station director, right?" Xu Jingli asked curiously.
"He is now a high-ranking official in the committee and is no longer the chief of a small police station!" said Xu Huizhen.
"Ah? Is that so? Jingping is in love with someone else's child? But how could the police station chief be promoted to the committee? Isn't the gap too big?" Xu Jingli still couldn't understand what had happened in the past ten years?
Although she didn't have a particularly deep impression of Zhao Cheng, she also knew that Director Zhao was forced to go home and rest for many years!
That period was also the most chaotic period in the entire Xizhimen Police Station's jurisdiction. Old soldiers in the compound fought with each other, and children in the alleys fought with each other. People were injured almost every day.
"Alas, they have the ability to get to where they are today, but now Jingping is dating their child, which is closely related to the Xu family.
"Are you really going? That's not good, right? You come to their house before anything happens? Doesn't this make our family seem a bit stingy?" Cai Quanwu said guiltily.
"You have to go, otherwise if the kid from the Zhao family abandons our Jingping, you won't even have a place to cry!" Xu Huizhen seemed to have made up her mind and said it with finality.
Seeing Xu Huizhen like this, Cai Quanwu had no choice but to obey. He had always been obedient to Xu Huizhen and never went against her wishes.
Xu Jingli looked at her mother and father. She wanted to laugh, but she was also very curious about how Jingping knew the Zhao family. She would have to ask when she had time.
The next morning, Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu set out for Meichang Hutong. Zhengyangmen was quite far from Meichang Hutong, so they took the bus. By the time they arrived at the Zhao family's house, it was already past nine in the morning.
After knocking on the door for a long time, it was finally opened from the inside. It was a young woman Xu Huizhen didn't recognize.
"Hello, is this the Zhao family?" Xu Huizhen asked directly.
"Hello, who are you?" Xiuzhi asked curiously after opening the door.
"My name is Xu Huizhen, and this is my husband Cai Quanwu! We are Xu Jingping's parents!" said Xu Huizhen.
"Oh, it's you? Please come in!" Xiuzhi knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, so she quickly opened the door to let Xu Huizhen and the others in.
Xu Huizhen didn't hesitate, but pulled Cai Quanwu, who was smiling awkwardly, into the yard. Xiuzhi saw the state of the couple and knew what was going on. She also smiled softly, closed the door, and led the two into the main house.
"Sister Dan, Wei Nong's girlfriend's parents are here!" Xiuzhi shouted towards the main house.
"Here it comes!" Tian Dan's voice came.
"Please sit down first, I'll make you a pot of tea!" Xiuzhi smiled, asked the two to sit in the main hall, and went to the kitchen to get hot water to make tea.
Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu were also shocked when they looked at the room full of antique paintings, calligraphy and furniture. They had seen many of these things before.
"It seems that the antiques that Pian Ye collected were meant for Zhao Cheng!" Xu Huizhen whispered to Cai Quanwu.
Cai Quanwu didn't say anything, but nodded silently. At this time, the door curtain was lifted and Tian Dan walked out from the inner room.
"Haha, Huizhen is such a rare visitor!" Tian Dan said to Xu Huizhen with a smile, and nodded to Cai Quanwu. Cai Quanwu also understood the meaning of this kind of thing, but he didn't care. He was used to it.
"Director Tian, I wouldn't come here for no reason! I believe you know why I'm here, right?" Xu Huizhen didn't show much fear in front of Tian Dan.
After all, she knew the news when Tian Dan married Zhao Cheng, and she was also one of the guests when Weidong got married, and she followed Pian Ye to the Zhao family to drink.
"I know. Isn't it just a matter of two children? Our family doesn't object to the two children continuing to live together. If you two don't object, we can hold a wedding for the children after they graduate!" Tian Dan said with a smile.
Tian Dan may be a little indifferent to Zhao Weinong. After all, not long after giving birth to Zhao Weinong, Tian Dan continued to work, and Zhao Weinong was raised by Pingping.
But Tian Dan is still very satisfied with Xu Jingping. Zhao Weinong has an eccentric personality, so he needs a quiet and peaceful partner, otherwise the relationship won't last long.
"Really? Your family doesn't object?" Xu Huizhen asked curiously.
"Why should we object?" Tian Dan asked.
"Director Zhao is now a high-ranking official. Don't you all care about marrying someone of equal social status? We are just an ordinary family." Xu Huizhen said in a worried tone.
Tian Dan also understood at this time. Xu Huizhen was worried that her son was with Xu Jingping just for fun and would abandon Xu Jingping in the future?
"Huizhen, actually you don't have to worry about these. Although our Wei Nong is a little naughty, he still knows his limits when it comes to relationships, especially those between men and women! And I can also assure you that if the two really decide to be together, our family will never let Xu Jingping suffer any grievances!" Tian Dan said.
Although Tian Dan's words were so solemn, Xu Huizhen was still a little worried. But there was no need to write a letter of guarantee. Besides, if the Zhao family really wrote this to you, would you believe it?
Xu Huizhen didn't know what to do for a moment and could only look at Cai Quanwu with a look for help.
Cai Quanwu looked at Xu Huizhen who looked embarrassed, and then looked at Tian Dan who looked serious but smiling.
"Director Tian, you know that our family is small and cannot be compared with yours, but can we set some rules first regarding the two children? This will also make us feel at ease, and we won't have a quarrel between our two families if something happens, right?" Cai Quanwu said.
"What do you think?" Tian Dan asked.
"You see, they are not allowed to get married in college now. Can they get engaged first? And then let them register for marriage after they graduate? What do you think?" Cai Quanwu said.
Hearing him say this, Tian Dan also started to think. Originally, as long as the two young people were willing, it would be fine. It was normal for college students to be in a relationship, and these two people were from the same university.
But isn't it a bit too early to get them engaged now? Wei Nong is only nineteen years old this year, and Xu Jingping is only eighteen.
After graduating from college, they are at the age where they can get married, which is just right.
"I really can't give you an answer to this matter right now!" Tian Dan said after thinking for a while.
"Don't be anxious, just listen to me." Tian Dan saw that Xu Huizhen was a little anxious, so she spoke directly.
"We will not stop the two children from doing this. I have already said this when Jingping came here. And his father also means this. But if we want to arrange their engagement now, we need the consent of the two children. After all, whether they succeed or not in the future is the choice of the two children themselves. What do you think?" Tian Dan said.
"Director Tian, do you mean to let the two children decide for themselves?" Xu Huizhen asked.
"Yes, let the two children decide this matter themselves. I can tell Zhao Cheng when he comes back in the evening. I'm sure he means the same thing. Let the children decide for themselves! After all, if Wei Nong has this idea, Jingping may have other ideas too, right?" Tian Dan said.
Xu Huizhen thought about it and decided her daughter wouldn't have any other ideas. After all, who would give up the son of a high-ranking official for a poor boy? Wouldn't that be completely foolish?
"That's fine. When the children come back this weekend, we'll ask them for their opinions!" Cai Quanwu said. Xu Huizhen wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Cai Quanwu.
They had already agreed to ask the child's opinion, which was a concession. Coming here today was actually like forcing a palace abdication. Tian Dan had already given face to their family by not getting angry and refusing. If she continued talking, it would have damaged the relationship.
Tian Dan wanted to keep the couple for lunch, but Xu Huizhen refused on the pretext that she had to go back to take care of the tavern.
After they left, Tian Dan shook her head helplessly. She could only silently endure the trouble her son had caused her.
"Sister Dan, this couple is quite interesting. I heard from Brother Cheng that Cai Quanwu was originally just a rickshaw driver. I didn't expect that he seems to be a very polite person?" Xiuzhi asked curiously.
"Haha, this Cai Quanwu is no ordinary person. He must have some means and brains to be able to marry Xu Huizhen! Xu Huizhen is such a smart person, it is impossible for her to marry a fool, right? Let's wait and see, this matter will not end here, there will be a lot of things later! Alas, when the children were young, I was looking forward to them growing up, but I didn't expect that I would still have to worry about these things for them when they grow up!" Tian Dan said helplessly.
"This is how we are as parents. There is no good way!" Xiuzhi said with a smile.
"Why are you pulling me together? Is it shameful to get children engaged?" Xu Huizhen said a little angrily.
