After all, Comrade Xiao Zhao’s cousin and the others, coming to Capital City for university and still being able to earn some property and developing it so well, they also have their capabilities.
Being able to get into university already shows intelligence.
Through interactions with Zhao Xinxin and Yun Xiaoxiao, some knowledge has definitely improved.
Talking with Mr. Wang and Brother-in-law Wang also poses no issue in catching up with the conversation.
Moreover, Zhao Xinxin’s Mandarin is quite good, unlike when she first arrived in Capital City, with an accent.
"Comrade Xiao Zhao, ask your cousins when they have time, we should meet up and discuss you two’s matter," he said.
It can’t just be dating all along, now that the parents have met, shouldn’t the wedding be discussed?
Mrs. Wang’s smile was somewhat forced, but she didn’t go as far as to wear an unfriendly face or ignore others.
"Normally, my Third Brother and they have classes, and they are also busy with the factory and the store, only available on weekends. Uncle, auntie, you probably are free on weekends too, right?"
That is indeed the case.
"How about next weekend?"
Mr. Wang glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "I think that’s fine."
After eating and chatting for a while, Wang Jianguo went to send the guests away.
Suddenly, only Mrs. Wang, Mr. Wang, Sister Wang, Brother-in-law Wang were left in the house, and the two younger ones went out to play.
"Mom, this Comrade Xiao Zhao doesn’t act timid like country girls usually do; she’s quite forthright. Moreover, her cousins also treat her well, considering her need, encouraging them to study night school, learning fashion design," said Sister Wang.
Sister Wang had heard of Comrade Xiao Zhao from her mother and her younger brother had mentioned her too.
Finally meeting her today, she seemed quite different.
Even more composed than city girls.
Brother-in-law Wang also agreed with this point, though as a son-in-law, he hesitated to comment on how his future sister-in-law would be.
"She’s indeed impressive."
Raising a city girl to be , who knows how much effort it would take.
"Then mom and dad, discuss how much the dowry should be, including the three turns and a sound, and some furniture," Sister Wang suggested.
The girl is not bad after all.
Even if the house was bought with borrowed money, it further shows she and her cousins are really close.
Otherwise, who would borrow a sum that takes over a decade to repay.
"Mom, dad, it’s getting late, we’ll head back now," Sister Wang said, as she had specifically come to visit her future sister-in-law today.
Having a day off per week, she also planned to buy a padded jacket for her two children, as well as some other items.
"Take half of these bananas back home," Mrs. Wang divided some bananas for her grandchildren.
After the daughter and son-in-law departed, only Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang were left at home.
"How much are you planning for the dowry?"
How much for the dowry?
"Eight hundred and eighty-eight, plus the three turns and a sound."
"As for the three turns and a sound, Xiao Zhao has a watch, a sewing machine could be bought, but a radio isn’t needed. As for the bicycle, get one in a female model. Discuss with Jianguo about these items for the three turns and a sound. Some don’t need to be bought," Mr. Wang said.
Mrs. Wang sighed deeply; the family seemed to approve of Zhao Xinxin.
Meanwhile, Wang Jianguo was sending Zhao Xinxin back to the Courtyard House and was reluctant to leave.
"I just don’t know if your sister is satisfied with me?" he wondered aloud.
Zhao Xinxin didn’t ask if Mrs. Wang was satisfied with her.
They had met several times privately by now, from initially being awkward to now only being receptive, Zhao Xinxin was very clear about it herself.
"Satisfied, my Xinxin is so good, how could she not be?" he reassured.
Zhao Xinxin simply smiled and looked at him, telling him something, "My parents are coming to Capital City to attend my second brother’s wedding. I wonder if they have set off yet?"
