Fang Chaoyang felt his heart soften, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, you haven’t yet seen me get married and have children, nor have you seen Xiao Yun get married. How can you talk about going to meet my parents? You are supposed to live a long, long life. You can’t say such things ever again."
After his parents had passed away, Grandma struggled to raise them on her own. Now that they could provide a better life for Grandma, he truly hoped Grandma would live to be a hundred years old.
"If you don’t let me talk, then hurry up and bring a granddaughter-in-law home for me," Grandma Fang grunted.
Finding a wife was not an easy task.
He wanted to find a woman with whom he could share a deep and understanding relationship.
Du Ruo was only nineteen years old and was still a student at Capital City University.
And he was already twenty-five this year, although he was attending night school, which made him six years older than her.
Third Brother and his sister-in-law were just over a year apart.
Sister-in-law Lanhua and Da Li were nearly five years apart.
Xiao He and his partner also differed by almost five years.
Fang Chaoyang agreed quickly with his mouth, but he felt somewhat panicked inside.
Where was he supposed to find a partner?
The garment factory had quite a few female colleagues, but he hadn’t met a girl who moved his heart yet.
It wasn’t just him making things difficult for himself.
"My second brother is going to meet the parents tomorrow."
Wang Jianguo paused, aware that his older cousin had a partner, but they had not been dating long, and now they were already going to meet the parents.
Things were moving too quickly.
Faster than his own progress.
"Xinxin, when you’re free, we should also meet your parents," he said.
He had met Xinxin’s elders, but Xinxin hadn’t formally met his parents yet.
This needed to be arranged soon.
He had finished stocking up on autumn vegetables and was relatively free now.
It was time to get ready.
How could there be no rush? He wanted to get married.
The courtyard apartment had a simple renovation done by Wang Jianguo, who had taken over. He bought some furniture and was also in charge of some of the renovation work.
"Xinxin, your courtyard apartment has already been simply renovated."
Zhao Xinxin was startled for a moment. When Wang Jianguo had asked for her keys, she had given them, not expecting him to finish the renovation so quickly.
"Let’s wait a bit more," she said.
Wang Jianguo didn’t press her further.
He knew Zhao Xinxin had been quite busy lately.
Her two winter clothing designs were selling well, naturally earning her a decent bonus. She was also busy with assignments from her teacher, barely keeping her feet on the ground.
"Third Brother, how do I look today?"
Yun Xiaoxiao’s gaze landed on the down jacket Zhao Tianhe was wearing. "You go back and change into a cotton garment."
Change into a cotton garment?
Today was a holiday at the factory.
The electronics store was managing without him, so Zhao Tianhe didn’t go to the electronics store which was also managing to cope.
Others were either at work or had classes to attend.
Zhao Tianhe was quite obedient, knowing he wasn’t the smartest. All he needed was to follow Third Brother and his sister-in-law.
After checking everything again, Zhao Tianhe rode his bicycle towards the Wang Family, carrying his belongings.
Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and asked, "If you’re worried, why not go and have a look?"
Why should he go along?
"Xiao Yang, what are you doing standing around here? Go out and find your partner."
At that, Zhao Tianlei turned to look at Fang Chaoyang, "Xiao Yang, when did you get a partner?"
This was big news, and he was only hearing about it now.
He had a partner already?
He had been hoping to see how things would develop between Fang Chaoyang and Du Ruo.
It seemed now he had to let go of that idea.
"Grandma, I don’t have a partner yet. I am planning to find one."
"You had me worried there. I was going to say, I’m with you all day and didn’t even know you had a partner."
