Chapter 698: 482 Meticulously Crafted Plans
Su Peng listened to He Ximei’s words and burst into laughter, “Mom, Xiaofeng’s big wedding is approaching, and as an elder, you should say more auspicious things.”
He Ximei quickly spat on the ground: “Ancestors of the Su Family, please don’t take offense, I’m just speaking without thinking. Please bless Xiaofeng’s wedding to go smoothly and also bless her and her two children to have a peaceful life in the Gu Family.”
“It hasn’t been easy for Xiaofeng and Acheng to come this far, and the days ahead will definitely be harmonious and beautiful.” Guaizi, not adept at words, also harbored great hopes for his daughter’s future life.
“Dad, Mom, don’t worry. Everyone has seen the journey Xiaofeng and Acheng have gone through. They have suffered so much before, but after this, things will definitely turn from bitterness to sweetness, and it won’t be long before they might welcome their third and fourth kids.” Their first pregnancy were boy and girl twins, so it’s not impossible that the second one could be twins too.”
“That’s true.” After thinking through Xiaofeng’s wedding, He Ximei started worrying about Su Peng’s lifelong matter: “Pengzi, look at your sister’s kids, already able to ‘soy sauce,’ and your situation with Wenli, when will that be settled? We think if you get that settled, us old folks can rest assured too. If it’s not settled, I always feel like Wenli might get snatched away by someone else, becoming someone else’s girlfriend.”
Pengzi was no longer young either.
In the past, she worried about his marriage because of his poor mind.
Now that his mind was fine, she still worried.
Being parents is always about worrying, a lifetime of endless worries.
“Mom, do you ever tire? Before when my illness wasn’t cured, you worried day and night about finding me a wife, and no one wanted to marry me, that worried you too. Now that I’m cured, busy studying, busy making money, you start worrying again, worried that I can’t find a wife. Mom, can’t you and dad enjoy some peaceful days? Besides, I’m only in my early twenties, what’s the rush?”
Su Peng was truly amazed at how much his mom worried all day long.
“Who made me your mom? If I were someone else, whether you got married or not, I’d be happy just to watch the drama. I gave birth to you, raised you, naturally I start thinking about holding grandchildren.” That’s just how parents are; after worrying about their children, they worry about their grandchildren, endlessly.
“Your mom means well for you.” Guaizi sided with He Ximei, then turned to her and said, “Pengzi is decisive now, don’t keep bringing this up in front of him. Marriage is a big deal for two people, something that should be considered carefully. Young people today aren’t like us back in the day; they don’t just look at someone and decide to get married. Nowadays, they speak of free love, then get married.”
Su Peng laughed at Guaizi’s words, “Dad, your awareness is really high, where did you learn this from?”
“From the TV, heard it on the radio, they talk about this every day, I’ve caught some of it.” The home now had a television set and a radio, it was nice to listen to them while resting from work, still could hear a lot of things I’ve never heard before.
Throughout the journey, the three of them chatted nonstop, and laughter could be heard occasionally.
This scene was precisely what Su Peng wanted to see, and he knew that only because Xiaofeng had brought money into the family, could his parents afford such peaceful, leisurely days.
If it weren’t for that, his illness hadn’t been cured, and his mom would’ve had to endure much more for his marriage, shedding countless tears.
Xiaofeng truly was the family’s lucky star, no doubt about that.
At the airport, the three of them came out to find Xiaofeng waiting at the reception area with the boy and girl twins.
Chu Qing was there too.
“He Ximei, brother-in-law.” Chu Qing spotted He Ximei and the others coming out, walked up to give He Ximei a big hug: “Welcome.”
The last time they came over, because Acheng had an incident, it was not very pleasant.
“Grandpa and Grandma.” Xiaobao had already run over to hug He Ximei’s legs: “Did you miss me?”
The little guy had a good memory and still remembered He Ximei and Guaizi.
“You little one, of course, I missed you. Did you miss me?” He Ximei couldn’t get enough just hugging one, so she hugged both.
“Yes, I did.” Xiaobao said maturely: “Are you here to attend Mom and Dad’s wedding?”
“That’s really great.” Xiaobao’s skin was very smooth and pink, and wearing a pink little dress, she looked just like a Fairy Child.
He Ximei and Guaizi stayed temporarily at Quan Family’s residence in the Imperial Capital.
“Master, the wedding of Gu Family’s young master and Su Xiaofeng is the day after tomorrow, the butler asked what gift we should send.” A wedding of the Gu Family’s young master certainly deserved a substantial gift.
