Chapter 270 Is the old man here to propose marriage?
He had thought it over. Rather than letting Fang Qing stay at home idly complaining every day, it would be better to let her go out and find a job as soon as possible.
This way, you'll earn an extra bit of income.
His parents are old and in poor health, so they probably won't be able to farm for much longer.
Old Wang said that if the tasks for the second half of the year can be completed before the end of next year, their group will be given priority in getting housing allocation quotas.
He has already taken his marriage certificate to the queue for housing allocation. Although the house is allocated to them, they will still have to pay some additional money.
Besides, he wanted to try to get a bigger one.
Once he gets the house, he'll bring his parents over to enjoy their retirement.
……
Fu Huaiyi's grandfather did indeed find his way here using an address.
As he asked his way here, Fu Huaiyi was washing clothes with Lin Yuyao.
He wasn't going to help, but he insisted on coming. After he arrived, he didn't wash many clothes, but instead, he was teased by the old and young wives who were also washing clothes, making them blush with embarrassment.
He finally understood why they weren't letting him come, but since he was already there, he couldn't very well leave, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay.
These scenes surprised the old man greatly. He rubbed his eyes several times before he could confirm that the person being teased by a group of women by the river was his grandson.
"Fu Huaiyi," the old man called him by his full name.
Fu Huaiyi was suddenly startled, and when he looked up, he saw the old man.
coming.
Lin Yuyao had one last piece of clothing left, and hurriedly said to Fu Huaiyi, "Go quickly, I'll be done soon."
Fu Huaiyi nodded, casually wiped away the water stains, and ran towards the old man.
"Yuyao, who is that?"
"My partner's grandfather."
"Oh, what's this all about your partner's grandfather showing up all of a sudden?"
Lin Yuyao didn't reply, and quickened her pace.
Fu Huaiyi: "Grandpa, what brings you here?"
The old man looked him up and down and said in surprise, "I didn't know you could do laundry."
"Of course I can. I've been washing my own clothes all these years."
Old man: “…”
"I didn't realize you could chat so well with a group of women doing laundry."
Fu Huaiyi said embarrassedly, "Actually, I didn't understand a lot of what they were saying, so I just nodded and responded randomly."
"Hmph, you unreliable brat, tell me, are you lying to me or are you serious?"
Fu Huaiyi: "What?"
The old man was so angry that he hit his leg with his cane.
"Of course, it's about marrying that girl."
Fu Huaiyi rubbed his forehead. "Grandpa, of course I'm serious. I've always told you I'm serious, why won't you believe me? I'm already here, why don't you believe me?"
Old man: “…”
He didn't believe it at first, but when he learned that he had really taken leave and gone home with the girl, he began to waver.
But since neither his son nor his daughter-in-law went, he started to have doubts.
Later, when he called to ask, he found out that he had taken a wedding leave and that the process of obtaining a military marriage certificate was underway. Only then did he realize that the brat was not joking.
The old man made a quick decision, asked Old Wang for the woman's address, and came straight there after getting it.
He got very angry when he heard his grandson say that.
"You unreliable thing, do you really think you can decide your own marriage?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..." His worst fears have come true.
“Grandpa, you’re a veteran comrade, you can’t make a mistake that violates principles. The higher-ups have said that young people have the freedom to love and marry, and as a veteran comrade, you can’t lead the way in going against the higher-ups and become a sinner against democracy. If someone reports you, be careful that you don’t ruin your reputation in your later years.”
The old man: "..." What did I say that ruined my reputation in my later years?
"Hmph, you bastard, do you think I'm someone like you? You don't know any manners at all."
After saying that, she pushed him aside and walked towards Lin Yuyao.
Because Lin Yuyao had already washed the clothes and come over.
"Hello grandpa."
The old man smiled broadly and pushed up his reading glasses.
"Hey, honey, doing laundry?"
"Yes, it's all washed. Grandpa must be tired from the journey. Come on, let's go inside and talk."
"Alright, lead the way."
He casually called out, "Hey kid, aren't you going to come and get the bucket?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..." How come this is not quite what I imagined?
He hurriedly came over and took the bucket from Lin Yuyao's hands.
Behind them was a tall man wearing sunglasses, who was the old man's driver and bodyguard.
Now that they had found Lin Yuyao's house, the old man told him to go back to the car and get his things.
Soon, the group gathered together, and after exchanging pleasantries, they got down to business.
"Well... in-laws, this kind of marriage proposal should be handled by the elders. The child is ignorant and came here on his own. Please forgive him."
Sea what?
"Please forgive me, please forgive me. Xiao Fu is very brave. I wouldn't have dared to do this when I was young."
“I’m glad you don’t mind his impetuousness and rudeness. I’m really ashamed that I’m a few days late.”
He dusted off his sleeves, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture before saying, "I, Fu Tianlei, hereby formally propose marriage. I wish to ask for the hand in marriage between my grandson, Fu Huaiyi, and your beloved daughter, Lin... Lin Yuyao." If I remember correctly, the girl's name is Lin Yuyao, isn't it?
This is so literary, it looks so high-end.
This left Lin Dawei and Ye Lian looking at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Yuyao glanced at Fu Huaiyi, asking him with her eyes what was going on.
The old man didn't seem to have come to stop them.
Fu Huaiyi winked back, saying he had no idea and was just as clueless.
Ye Lian nudged Lin Dawei, urging him to handle the situation.
But Lin Dawei is a rough man; how could he know these tricks?
He could only imitate the old man, patting the dust off his sleeves, then cupping his hands and saying in awkward Mandarin, "Okay, we agree."
Everyone: "..."
The old man's face stiffened; the answer was so abrupt that he hadn't even had time to react.
A moment later, he burst into laughter again, "Brother, you're a straightforward man."
"Ahem." Fu Huaiyi coughed twice and glared at him.
The old man then realized he had misunderstood the generational order and quickly changed the subject.
“Nephew, there’s something I need to explain. A-Yi’s parents didn’t come because they’re not happy with the marriage, but because they’re busy in Nancheng helping them prepare for the wedding. Please understand.”
In fact, Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao had already explained it to them.
Hearing the old man say this, Lin Dawei nodded repeatedly, "Uncle, we understand."
“That’s good. Although I’m getting old, I can still make decisions about my family. My coming to propose is the same as his parents coming.”
"Yes, yes, we are very happy that you could come."
The old man laughed and said, "I think my nephew is a straightforward and easy-going person. So the marriage is settled. Let's talk about the specific date for the banquet."
what?
How could he possibly make such a decision?
He turned his head to look at Ye Lian, wanting to ask her what to do.
Ye Lian gestured with her eyes, letting him decide for himself.
