Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"The head constable of the police station is quite promising for his age!" Yang Jianguo neither exaggerated nor belittled him.

At his age, he was able to become a head constable in the capital.

That's certainly a remarkable achievement for someone so young; with someone to mentor him, he could rise very quickly.

"Wow, what a lucky son-in-law! How come you get all the good things?" Sha Zhu said with envy.

Look at Zhiyuan and Zhiyi, they're a perfect match when they don't act.

Then look at my own two...

Sha Zhu felt an itch in his palms and wanted to touch his belt.

Damn it, I feel like I didn't smoke enough when I was a kid!

If I smoked a few more times, maybe I could become as ambitious as Zhiyuan and Zhiyi.

"Alright, stop whining. The family is waiting for me to cook dinner!" Yang Jianguo punched him in the chest, and Sha Zhu covered his chest and laughed.

"Alright, I won't delay your meeting with your future son-in-law. When you get married, the banquet must be paid for by me. I'll be furious if you give it to someone else!"

“It’s all yours, it’s all yours,” Yang Jianguo laughed. “Just wait and see, I’ll bring my men and eat your entire village out of house and home.”

"Hey, if you can eat me out of house and home, I might actually accept it." Silly Zhu waved his hand without turning his head and replied.

Chapter 595 A daughter grows up and leaves home, should I agree or not?

As Tongwei stepped through the curtain, his smile vanished as he busied himself setting the table for Zhiyi. He said stiffly, "Uncle."

Yang Jianguo's stern face relaxed, and he nodded with a slight smile: "Okay."

"Everyone's here, the food's ready, please sit down."

"Zhiyi, go get the wine, let your dad and Tongwei have a couple of drinks."

"Okay." Zhiyi happily went to the cabinet to get the wine; she was also tempted by the old bottle of Moutai that her father had kept.

Yang Jianguo sat down and saw Tongwei standing awkwardly to the side. He beckoned and said, "Tongwei, come and sit down."

“Hey!” Tongwei sat down next to him.

Seeing his cautious and careful demeanor, Yang Jianguo couldn't help but frown.

Is this a case of having already suffered setbacks and coming to terms with reality?

Was he holding back something in what he said earlier?

"Dad, is this okay?" Zhiyi held up the old bottle of Moutai with both hands, a sly smile on her face.

Yang Jianguo nodded indulgently and said, "Okay, I'm happy today."

"Let me pour it for you." Zhiyi smiled happily to herself.

First pour some for Dad, then pour some for Tongwei too.

Zhiyi looked at her mother ingratiatingly and shook the wine bottle: "Mom, shall we have a drink too?"

Yingzi glanced at her and said with amusement, "I think you're the one who wants to drink it, aren't you?"

"Hehe~" Zhiyi nodded with her lips pursed.

"Okay, we're in a good mood today, so let's drink, but just a little."

With her mother's permission, Zhiyi quickly poured drinks for the two of them as well.

Then, all eyes turned to Yang Jianguo at the head of the table, waiting for him to speak.

Yang Jianguo had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it in front of everyone.

More than anything, it stems from questions about Qi Tongwei: what kind of person is he now?

When it comes to his own daughter, Yang Jianguo couldn't remain calm.

"I won't say anything else. Welcome Tongwei to my home. And then... let's drink."

Yang Jianguo tilted his head back and downed the wine in his glass.

Qi Tongwei also drank it, while Yingzi and Zhiyi took small sips.

After putting down her glass, Zhiyi picked up the wine bottle and filled her father's glass, then sat down again and poured one for Qi Tongwei as well.

Looking at his eyes, Yang Jianguo just wanted to scratch his head.

"Tongwei, eat your vegetables... Zhiyi, change the beef so your dad and Tongwei can eat it."

"Auntie, I can reach it, I can reach it."

After another round of polite refusals, Yingzi found this prospective son-in-law quite agreeable.

Not only is he pleasing to the eye, but I'm also quite satisfied with his work.

The young man was handsome and had a respectable job, and at a young age he had risen to the position of head constable.

I'm satisfied no matter how I look at it!

Compared to her father, Yingzi's thoughts were much simpler.

The requirements for a future son-in-law are that he treats his daughter well, has a decent job, and is a good person.

As for anything else, I really don't have any random thoughts.

"Tongwei, what are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing Yang Jianguo's question, Qi Tongwei put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Uncle, I plan to stay in the capital in the future."

"What specific ideas do you have?" Yang Jianguo didn't want to hear 'intentions,' he wanted to hear a plan.

What are your plans? How do you intend to stay in Beijing? What about housing and jobs?

Whether it's good or bad, there has to be some explanation, right?

Actually, none of these are problems. Yang Jianguo just wants to hear about his plans for the future.

To be honest, things like houses, cars, and money are all external things.

Whether it's him, Yingzi, or Zhiyi herself.

Actually, they didn't really care. If they really needed it, Yang Jianguo would have given it to them, which wouldn't have been a big deal.

The key question is, what kind of person is he?

Yang Jianguo wasn't worried about Qi Tongwei's ambition. Regardless of whether Qi Tongwei's ambition materialized or not, he was still ambitious.

But which direction he chooses to advance is very important to Yang Jianguo.

"Since I met Zhiyi and decided to stay, I have already applied for housing with my employer."

"In addition, I also save my own salary to prepare for future business, house furnishing and buying furniture."

"My job is stable now, and if there are no changes, I will stay here."

"As for my household registration... my employer said they are helping me coordinate it."

Looking at Zhiyi beside him, Qi Tongwei grasped her hand and said earnestly, "Uncle, Aunt, Zhiyi and I are serious."

"Please believe me, I will definitely treat her well and make her happy."

After taking a deep look at Qi Tongwei, who was making a promise at that moment, Yang Jianguo turned his gaze to his daughter.

That affectionate expression made Yang Jianguo sigh silently.

Alright, daughters grow up and leave home.

Right now, she probably has nothing but this man in her heart and eyes.

Yang Jianguo was unwilling to break up the couple, and even less willing to impose his own standards on others.

Whether the couple's life is good or bad.

Ultimately, it's not something outsiders can decide, not even one's own parents.

The only thing Yang Jianguo could do was give his daughter enough confidence.

No matter what happens, or when.

She should know that there is a home behind her that is always open to her.

"Zhiyi, what about you?"

Qi Tongwei has already made his stance clear; now it's up to Yang Zhiyi.

What are her thoughts, and what are her plans for the future?

Yang Jianguo believed that his daughter would never say something like, "I'll do whatever you say."

Complete dependence is fine, but once you choose this path...

The harm suffered from entrusting one's affairs to the wrong person is unimaginable.

Yang Jianguo hopes that she can be independent to a certain extent and is willing to make contributions and share responsibilities for the family with him.

Living life is not about being petty or calculating.

We both put our efforts into the same goal; you think of me, and I think of you.

Everything revolves around life and family.

Only then can one live a life that others envy, a life that is prosperous and thriving.

"Dad, Mom, this is what I think."

Zhiyi was a little nervous; she didn't know if her parents would approve of her idea.

She wanted to wait a while longer before pooling her money with Tongwei.

Get things done first, then move out to your own company's apartment.

As for Qi Tongwei, they waited until his house was ready.

If you need it, move it there; if you don't, leave it empty for now. Who knows, it might be useful for your children in the future.

As for the rest, it all depends on what they want.

This is right!

Bringing someone home to meet your elders means you're planning to get married.

Do you really think you can just casually bring any boyfriend or girlfriend home?

After listening to their plans, Yingzi glanced at them and then turned her gaze to her own man.

No matter what happens on ordinary days, the head of the household still has the final say on such important matters.

Yang Jianguo didn't rush to speak, but instead mentally reviewed what the two had just said.

"Are you two really sure you want to be together?"

Their eyes met, and they nodded firmly, Qi Tongwei's eyes filled with burning love.

Regardless, he did indeed like Zhiyi.

Yang Jianguo could see this clearly.

So, should I agree, or...?

Chapter 596 Conversation, A Wise Person

Yang Jianguo always felt that he was an enlightened parent.

Such as interfering in their children's marriages, preferences, etc...

This kind of thing won't happen to me.

But at this moment, he was still extremely unwilling to make the decision to 'agree'.

However, this reluctance was not expressed.

"Since you've come up with a plan, I won't say anything more."

"Regarding the wedding... Zhiyi, discuss it with your mother."

In this magical age, getting married isn't that complicated.

If two people like each other, they can get married.
