This sister-in-law is prettier than her sister Dongmei by quite a bit, wearing a down jacket and with her hair tied in a ponytail, and a faint smile on her face, her beauty was different from that of her sister.
Matchmaker Wang was the matchmaker, taking the lead.
With her taking the lead, the two families began to talk.
Soon, the waiter started serving dishes one by one, and everyone ate together.
The date was then set.
A good day one week later was officially chosen.
They also discussed some of the proceedings for the wedding day.
The Wang Family didn’t say much today, as they had already received the betrothal gifts.
Having met the prospective wife, of course, they couldn’t miss out on the prospective son-in-law.
Xinxin was asked to call him over to their house.
Wang Jianguo, upon learning he was going to meet his future father-in-law, was quite excited.
He left work early, picked up Zhao Xinxin, and rode his bicycle toward the Courtyard House, even hanging things on the bicycle.
"Are you here?" When Zhao Tianhe heard them knocking, he came to open the door and gave Wang Jianguo a brief glance.
Wang Jianguo not only called out to him but also pushed his bicycle inside, parked it properly, and carried his stuff toward the living room.
He would soon meet some unfamiliar elders in this Courtyard House, who must be his in-laws.
Indeed, as Wang Jianguo had expected, he encountered three unfamiliar elders.
Having met Mrs. Zhao, the other elderly lady there must be his mother-in-law.
Little Aunt Zhao didn’t do much fieldwork, so her skin was whiter than Mrs. Zhao’s, who had been using the face cream Yun Xiaoxiao gave her, making her skin a lot whiter.
"Hello, aunt, hello uncles."
Mrs. Zhao knew Wang Jianguo, though they had only met once before, it was a formal meeting. Upon seeing Wang Jianguo, she warmly greeted him, "Xiao Wang, you are too polite, bringing so many gifts, come sit here."
Mrs. Zhao also helped with the introductions, "This is your aunt, this is your uncle, and this is my husband, who is also Xinxin’s grand-uncle."
With Mrs. Zhao helping with the introductions, Wang Jianguo called out again and then came over to sit.
"Grand-uncle, I heard from Xinxin that you are a team leader of a large team, and you have been contributing to the team for years..."
Wang Jianguo had inquired about these individuals from Zhao Xinxin before meeting them to avoid any awkwardness in the conversation.
Little Aunt Zhao and Little Uncle Zhao kept sizing up Wang Jianguo.
Wang Jianguo, just off work and still in uniform, tall and robust, and also good-looking, was much better than that Chen fellow.
The most important thing was, he hadn’t been married before.
This was his first marriage.
The dishes gradually arrived at the table and everyone gathered to eat together.
During dinner, Wang Jianguo also mentioned, "aunt, uncle, when do you have time? I’d like to arrange a meeting for you with my parents."
Little Aunt Zhao and Little Uncle Zhao exchanged glances.
"We have no objections, but the sooner the better."
Of course, that was no problem.
This time, Wang Jianguo wasn’t nervous.
He had been forced to drink previously, but this time there was no such thing.
They let Wang Jianguo eat, and then he bid them farewell and left.
"Mom, dad, when are you free? Xinxin’s parents and grand-uncle have come to the Capital City."
Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang were shocked; they hadn’t expected that the in-laws and the mother-in-law would come all the way from their hometown, a long train ride away to the Capital City.
It seemed they were taking this meeting seriously.
"I remember your grand-uncle was getting married, when is the wedding, shall we also attend?"
