Chapter 520
A courtyard house surprised He's mother so much. He Zhen thought about the money in his account and finally chose to slowly tell his parents later.
He is not an engineer for nothing. He got a lot of money from the dividends of the sewing machine factory at the end of the year.
Even if Meng Haisheng didn't reward him with a courtyard house, he could buy one himself.
"Mom and Dad, you are tired today. Let's not discuss Qianqian and I in a hurry. You should have a good rest first."
"I have booked a banquet at Zuixianju for noon today. I will take you there later."
He Zhen hasn't seen his parents and brother for a long time. Now he really wants to give them his best things.
"Don't worry about eating. Your marriage is the most important thing."
"You can meet your in-laws on that day."
He's father looked at He Zhen very seriously.
"The day after tomorrow, you can take another day off."
"We just took the train for a short time, we are not tired at all, you can arrange it for tomorrow at noon."
"Look, we have brought all the gifts for the in-laws."
He Dad opened the luggage and took out bacon, wine, and fish marinated with chili peppers.
These are their specialties, and the price is not cheap.
"Okay, then I will arrange it for tomorrow at noon."
Looking at so many gifts, He Zhen finally felt the anxiety from his parents.
They really hope that he will get married soon.
The subsequent topics are basically centered around Meng Qianqian and He Zhen.
If the two get engaged, what kind of betrothal gifts will the He family have to give, whether their wedding room needs to be renovated, and what customs there are for marriage in Meng Qianqian's family. He Mom asked all the details carefully.
There are things that He Zhen doesn't know, and he even wrote them down in a small notebook.
Later, he called Meng Qianqian to confirm.
"Brother He, I'm not very clear about the customs in my family."
Meng Qianqian was a little embarrassed on the other end of the phone.
Although she had been working in the garment factory for some time, she still blushed easily when facing He Zhen.
"Then I'll ask the boss. My parents mean that it's not easy for them to come to Beijing, so let's just book the marriage."
"Qianqian, your status as my fiancée will be different."
He Zhen on the other end of the phone meant something.
Although the two are now in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and often date, they have only progressed to the point of holding hands and have not taken the next step.
If Meng Qianqian can become his fiancée, the two can have further contact.
"Okay, then I'll tell my parents."
Meng Qianqian's voice was very gentle, and He Zhen felt itchy.
"Qianqian, I really want to marry you right away."
"I know, Brother He, my sister-in-law called me, I'll go and do my work first."
When Meng Qianqian heard that He Zhen was going to say something that would make her blush, she immediately found an excuse to run away.
He Zhen was left alone holding the phone full of dead sounds in a daze.
"You're already a sophomore, why are you still so shy?"
The parents of the Meng and He families finally agreed on a time to meet.
The young people didn't feel much, but the four parents were quite nervous, with a mess of thoughts and various worries.
Meng Haisheng chose his restaurant as the meeting place.
The two families just filled up a large elegant room.
After a brief introduction, Meng Haisheng livened up the atmosphere, starting with the Meng family's rabbit farm and talking about the lives of each family.
If it were in the past, the Meng family was a peasant family and the He family had two working families, so it was natural that the Meng family would marry into the He family.
Now Meng Haisheng is He Zhen's boss, and the Meng family has the rabbit farm as their golden hen, so the He family is not much behind in terms of economic strength.
But He Zhen's parents are open-minded, and they don't feel inferior to the girl just because their son married a rich girl.
The two families chatted about everything, and the topic turned to the marriage of He Zhen and Qianqian.
"My Xiaozhen is not young anymore, so I want them to settle the marriage quickly, so that I, as a mother, can put an end to my worries."
Mother He looked at everyone sitting there with a smile.
The Meng family had long known from Meng Qianqian that the He family wanted the two to get engaged.
Now that the topic was brought up, the Meng family naturally had to express their views.
"My Qianqian is still a little young, and we discussed it. If we get along well in the past two years, it won't be too late to get engaged as early as next summer vacation."
Qu Lan still had some concerns.
Meng Qianqian and He Zhen have only been together for half a year, which is too short. Even though they know each other well, Qu Lan feels that this matter is too hasty.
Two people have been together for only half a year, and I am afraid they don’t even understand each other’s personality.
She stillI hope Meng Qianqian and He Zhen can spend more time together and get familiar with each other's personalities.
After all, marriage is a lifelong thing, and you can't find out that the two people's personalities are incompatible after marriage.
The He family didn't say much after hearing what Qu Lan said. After all, what Qu Lan said was true. Meng Qianqian was not even old enough to get a marriage certificate, so it was reasonable for their family to be so cautious.
"Okay, then we will give the young people some time, but our two families can visit each other more."
He's mother smiled and was not unhappy because she was rejected for engagement first.
Since they didn't even get married, there was no need to talk about the rest.
The two families had lunch together happily.
After returning home from the restaurant, Qu Lan called Meng Qianqian into the house.
"Qianqian, do you think your future mother-in-law is easy to get along with?"
"Mom, this is my first time meeting her, how can I know if she is easy to get along with."
"You are just a dull person. She talked to you for such a long time, but you didn't feel anything at all."
"It's okay. The He family should be very satisfied with me. By the way, Aunt Liu also gave me a gift."
Meng Qianqian took out a red velvet bag from her pocket.
"When we came out of the restaurant, Aunt Liu stuffed it in my pocket and said it was a gift for our first meeting. She didn't let me open it in front of her, saying it was a little surprise and asked me to see it when I got home."
Meng Qianqian opened the velvet bag and found a gold bracelet inside.
The gold bracelet was a bit old and had beautiful patterns on it.
"Oh my God, He Zhen's mother spent a lot of money. Such a heavy gold bracelet is worth a lot of money."
Qu Lan was stunned. She really didn't expect that the He family would be so generous.
The two of them were not engaged, at best they were just boyfriend and girlfriend, but their family actually sent such an expensive gift.
"Tell your third brother to return the bracelet to the He family tomorrow. If you like a gold bracelet, Mom will buy it for you."
Qu Lan stuffed the gold bracelet directly into the bag without even letting Meng Qianqian take a look.
"Mom, I know that my third brother has bought me a lot of good things over the years. Can I be bribed by a gold bracelet?"
Meng Qianqian smiled and held Qu Lan's hand. She knew that everyone in her family was very nervous about her marriage, fearing that she would choose the wrong husband.
