Chapter 3885 Eight Characters
The men who were taking a weekend off at the park were still upset because they hadn't caught any fish on Saturday. To save face, they went fishing by the lake again on Sunday morning, right after breakfast, carrying their fishing gear.

The ladies didn't join in the fun; they played by themselves.

The little girl only spent half a day relaxing with her elders on Saturday afternoon, then went to the pharmacy in the evening, and didn't even have time to go to the kitchen for breakfast on Sunday morning.

She was also very busy on Sunday. In the morning, she had several batches of medicine to be processed or condensed into pills. In the afternoon, she was scheduled to go to the job market for her last interview. She couldn't spare any time to spend with her elders on vacation.

Weekends are a much-anticipated rest time for office workers. Those who don't have to work overtime enjoy their weekends, either going out shopping, sightseeing, visiting friends and relatives, or staying at home.

Zhou Tianhao and his girlfriend had the weekend off and didn't have much energy to go out, so they stayed in their rented apartment.

On Sunday, Zhou Tianhao didn't sleep in. He got up early, went out to buy breakfast, ate with Yan Xun, and waited to calculate when his grandparents should have eaten breakfast before calling them.

After Zhou Bapi and his wife had finished breakfast and all the housework, they were about to go to the field to help the sweet potato vines when they received a call from their eldest grandson.

Seeing that the caller ID showed it was their eldest grandson, Zhou Bapi and Auntie Bapi pretty much knew why Zhou Tianhao was calling—he definitely wanted to talk about marriage!

Perhaps because they were dealt with during the Lunar New Year, their eldest grandson may have some psychological trauma, as he has only called during holidays in the past six months.

Moreover, he never mentioned marrying Yan Xun when he called.

The eldest grandson didn't tell his parents he wanted to get married, but he mentioned it to them several times to test their attitude.

Zhou Bapi and his wife had already warned their son, so their eldest daughter-in-law naturally didn't dare to agree immediately and had Zhou Tianhao speak to his grandparents.

Yesterday evening, their eldest son, Zhou Dahu, called home and told them that Zhou Tianhao had again expressed his desire to get married during the National Day or New Year's Day holidays this year, and that he had asked his son to personally talk to his grandparents about it.

With their eldest son having given them advance notice, Zhou Bapi and his wife guessed that their eldest grandson would call in the next few days to talk about his wedding.

I just didn't expect it to come so soon.

The fact that the eldest grandson is so enthusiastic suggests that the woman is probably getting restless and urging him to get married.

Auntie Ba, who was mentally prepared, saw the caller ID and hurriedly urged the man, "Hurry up, get ready."

"Understood." Zhou Bapi took out his phone, checked the battery level, and, seeing it was full, gestured to his wife, "OK."

Aunt Ba answered the phone.

Zhou Tianhao dialed his grandmother's number, but she didn't answer for a long time. He was getting a little anxious. Just as the call was about to automatically disconnect, his grandmother finally answered.

He didn't dare to be glib or talkative. He honestly greeted his grandparents first, made sure they had eaten breakfast and were getting ready to go out to work in the fields, and then quickly brought up the important matter of his and Yan Xun's desire to get married.

Aunt Ba heard her eldest grandson stammering about serious matters and pressed him for an answer: "You said you want to get married before the new year?"

Zhou Tianhao dared not have any ulterior motives and honestly replied, "Yes, Yan Xun and I have been together for so long and we know each other well enough. We are not young anymore, and Yan Xun's parents also think so."

"You said you wanted to get married, hang up first, then make a video call. Oh, and bring your girlfriend too, I have some questions for you later."

Aunt Ba didn't disagree; she followed the steps she and her husband had agreed upon before.

Zhou Tianhao almost thought his grandmother wouldn't accept it, but when he heard her ask him to make a video call instead, his tense nerves relaxed. He quickly agreed, hung up the phone, and made a video call instead.

Yan Xun sat next to him, her heart pounding with anxiety, wondering what Zhou Tianhao's grandmother was going to ask.

Zhou Bapi, who had been preparing for this all along, turned on his phone's camera after his wife hung up the phone to record the important conversation that his wife and grandson were about to have.

After hanging up the phone, Aunt Ba sat down on the sofa and waited for her grandson to make a video call, which she then answered.

After the video call was established, Yan Xun saw Zhou Tianhao's grandmother appear in the video. There was someone next to her, but only her arms and a part of her body could be seen. She guessed that it was Zhou Tianhao's grandfather.

Having gotten ready in the morning, Yan Xun was confident in her appearance. She smiled and gently called out, "Grandpa and Grandma."

"It's not appropriate to call us grandpa and grandma now. Before you get married, it's more appropriate for you to call us Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou."

Auntie Ba didn't care for the title of "grandpa and grandma," and refused indifferently without giving anyone time to think. She bluntly asked, "Zhou Tianhao, you just said that you and Yan Xun want to get married, right?"

"Yes, Grandma." Zhou Tianhao didn't have time to worry about Yan Xun being embarrassed by his grandmother; he had to brace himself to face his grandparents first.

“Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. Your grandfather and I do not object to your marriage, but let me make this clear beforehand: if you go to the woman’s family to become a live-in son-in-law, we will naturally not interfere in anything. You and the Yan family can do whatever you want.”

Of course, once you become a live-in son-in-law, don't even think about taking a piece of our family property. We won't give you a single penny. As for how much of the money your parents earned, we can give you, that's none of our business.

If you're not going to be a live-in son-in-law, but instead marrying a wife as a descendant of the Zhou family, and you want to hold a banquet back in your hometown, then you have to follow the rules. You need to have your birth dates matched and consult a master to choose an auspicious date.

"If you can accept this, let Yan Xun give me her birth date and time. I'll write it down and then find a master to match your birth dates and times." Yan Xun's expression changed drastically when she was refused because of the issue of how she was addressed. She almost couldn't help but jump up and leave, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and managed to hold back.

She listened patiently as Grandma Zhou Tianhao continued, and when she heard that she didn't object, a smile returned to her face.

When I heard that we needed to match birth dates and times, I had only one thought in my mind—old ginger is spicier!
Her parents are really clever; they actually guessed that the Zhou family elders might use the Eight Characters (a Chinese astrological system) to make a fuss!
"Grandma Zhou, I really want to live with Tianhao. I'll follow him wherever he goes, and I respect the customs of Tianhao's hometown." The Zhou family elders openly proposed to match their birth dates, and Yan Xun readily agreed.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get some paper and pen." Aunt Ba didn't waste any more words, put down her phone, and ran to the TV cabinet.

The drawers of the TV cabinet contain pencils and students' notebooks, which are usually used for shopping and keeping track of numbers, or for use when villagers come to visit or when playing cards outside.

Aunt Ba found the paper and notebook, returned to the sofa and sat down, then picked up the phone on the coffee table, turned on the black screen, and faced the screen again.

Be prepared before asking the woman's birth date and time.

Yan Xun, who was prepared in advance, reported her birth date and time.

Aunt Ba wrote it down, then picked up the paper and showed it to the person opposite her, reading it aloud as she did so, and asked, "Take a look for yourself, is this the time? Did I write it wrong?"

“That’s right. It’s this time.” Yan Xun checked the birth date and time period on the paper to confirm.

Aunt Ba isn't highly educated, but she used to run a shop and often had to keep accounts, so her handwriting is quite neat, with no messy strokes or misspellings.

Once Yan Xun personally confirmed that the birth date and time were correct, Aunt Ba simply said, "If you're sure this is your birth date and time, then that's settled. I'll have someone analyze your birth chart and then I'll let you know."

She felt she had nothing more to say to her eldest grandson, so she ended the video call.

After his wife hung up the phone, Zhou Bapi also finished recording, his face sour: "Tianhao is like he's blind, he hasn't seen through his girlfriend's true colors after all this time."

I saw it clearly just now. When you said calling them grandpa and grandma wasn't appropriate, their face immediately changed, and they looked extremely fierce.

"Don't talk about that kid, just mentioning him makes me angry." Aunt Ba was also in a bad mood, staring at the paper with a dark face: "It's not even June yet, there are still more than half a year left, I just hope we can get through this."

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let me ask if Xiaofeng and Yueqing are still at home. If they are, we'll go find Xiaofeng. If they aren't, we'll go at noon."

Zhou Bapi originally intended to put the phone in a case, but then unlocked it and found his niece's phone number.

Aunt Ba didn't object.

Zhou Qiufeng and her husband had already left for the fields with their tools and supplies, and were about twenty meters away from home when they received a call from their uncle and turned back.

After making the phone call, Zhou Bapi and his wife packed their tools, locked the door, and set off in their electric tricycle.

The couple arrived at the north building of the Le family's house, parked their electric tricycle by the roadside, and then went to the main room of the Le family's house.

Old Man Yi Yan wasn't in the main room; only Zhou Qiufeng and her husband from Yueqing were there. Zhou Bapi and Auntie weren't under much pressure and told them about Zhou Tianhao's phone call to discuss wanting to get married.

Le's father didn't express his opinion. Zhou Tianhao was Xiaofeng's cousin, and even though Xiaofeng was an elder, she didn't have much right to interfere. As a cousin-in-law, he had even less right to speak.

Xiao Lele had told her about Zhou Tianhao, and Zhou Qiufeng knew what to do. She asked her uncle and aunt to take a picture of the paper with Yan Xun's birth date and time written on it and save it.

She also took the photos and then sent a copy to Xiao Lele.

She explained to her elders, "Lele called the day before yesterday and said she was brewing medicine and had been very busy these past few days. I sent her a photo, and she'll contact me when she has some free time. I'll tell you then."

“Tianhao’s matter isn’t urgent. If Lele calls back, tell her to take care of her business first, and then find a master to help her calculate her birth chart after she’s finished with her business.”

Qiu Feng is always reliable, and Lele is even more reliable. Zhou Bapi and Auntie can rest assured when things are entrusted to Lele.

Zhou Qiufeng knew that although her eighth uncle and aunt hadn't said anything, they were still worried about Zhou Tianhao. So she gave them a long talk to comfort them, telling them to relax and that the Zhou family ancestors would definitely make their wishes come true.

After being given a few bowls of inspirational platitudes, Aunt Zhou's mood improved somewhat.

The uncle and nephew chatted for a while before heading off to work.

Since they were all going to the fields behind the village and heading in the same direction, they traveled together.

When her phone beeped with a message notification, Le Yun was indeed busy and didn't have time to check her phone. She only took it out to look at it when she sat down to rest after finishing her work.

She saw that the message was from Aunt Feng, clicked on it, and saw a piece of paper with Yan Xun's name and date written on it. She immediately burst out laughing.

Xuan Shao brewed tea and handed it to the little girl. Seeing her smile, he felt a chill run down his spine and asked in fear, "Little beauty, who upset you? Your smile looks so dangerous."
