The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 139 Engagement
Mother Yang looked at the scene in front of her, with a smile on her face.

It was a great pleasure for her to be able to poke a little bit of heat into the mother and daughter, otherwise she would always be arrogant and act superior.

Not only that, you can't really ask people to pay that much.

She was marrying off her daughter, not making an enemy.

"Take the money back quickly, it hasn't come to this yet!"

When Chen Huaiyang heard this, his face fell.

"Aunt, I really want to date Linlin. We are in the same brigade in the countryside. After we get engaged, I can take care of her openly without any scruples."

"I don't have any bad hobbies. I can make money by contributing to newspapers. I will definitely do my best to give Linlin a good living condition."

Mother Yang: “…” She didn’t say she didn’t want us to get engaged. Is she so eager now that she’s just married?
"Eat first, then talk after you finish eating."

"Xiao Lin, come over here and help me."

Having said that, he called the person away.

Although Chen Huaiyang was anxious, there was nothing he could do at the moment. He couldn't force her to do it!

At this time, Yang Xiaolin followed Yang's mother into the kitchen.

"Mom, do you have any problem with him?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to have him be your son-in-law?"

Mother Yang glared at her daughter with a look of disapproval, "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're so ungrateful?"

"Our daughter won't have trouble finding a husband, so why would we expect to get things done right away? If he's really sincere, he should let his parents come and talk."

"How can one make the decision on marriage alone?"

"Do you know what his parents are thinking? The one who comes first is the least valuable. If he really wants to be with you, let his parents discuss the marriage."

Yang Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are you panting so hard when you speak? Just say it straight!"

"I asked him to bring his parents."

Just as he was about to take action, Yang's mother quickly grabbed him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? At least let us check him out!"

Yang Xiaolin pouted and looked at her mother, "Mom, if he hadn't protected me, your daughter would have been abused by someone long ago."

"In that remote detachment, the quality of the team members is relatively low, and there are always some with dirty thoughts. I am very lucky to have met him."

"He is very good and can do anything with ease. He can also write blackboard newspapers, earning 8 yuan for each manuscript. He can also drive a tractor and is highly praised in the brigade."

"He has his own unique insights, and there are many people eyeing him. We both like each other, so why can't we settle it in advance?"

"I don't know if I will regret it in the future, but now, I want to get engaged to him."

When Mother Yang heard this, she was shocked and her relaxed expression suddenly became tense. "Girl, why didn't you tell me about such a dangerous thing when you came back?"

"I told you not to go there. It wasn't like there was no way to avoid it. You were just too stubborn."

Yang Xiaolin shook her head and held her hand against her shoulder. "I was afraid you would worry, and it's over now."

"My schedule is too tight. It takes time to arrange work. I don't want to marry someone casually. Who knows if that person will have evil intentions?"

"I'm telling you this now just to tell you my determination to be with him. He's also from the city. If we have a chance to come back, he's not far from home. This is the best option."

Mother Yang raised her hand and tapped her daughter's forehead. "You have always been a stubborn person since you were young. Once you make up your mind, even ten cows can't pull you back."

"It won't work today. We're not prepared. Let's set the time for tomorrow. If his parents don't show up, there will be no follow-up to your matter."

A relationship without the support of parents will not last long.

Yang Xiaolin nodded. "Your daughter is so outstanding, how could his parents not come?" "If he can't even handle his parents, then scold him."

"I believe in my own judgment. He will not let me make a wrong bet."

Yang's mother: "..." Looking at how the two get along, this man is very caring towards her daughter. Her daughter will not suffer any loss, so she can feel relieved for the time being.

"Okay, stop getting in the way and go prepare some food for the guests. Don't treat them badly or people will say we don't know how to entertain guests."

Yang Xiaolin washed some fruits and walked away on tiptoe.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

When they went out again, Father Yang was chatting with Chen Huaiyang very happily, and he had a vague feeling that they had met too late.

Chen Huaiyang was a knowledgeable man who could connect the conversation with anyone. He was also tactful and only talked about topics that his future father-in-law liked, so naturally the impression he had was improved.

Yang Xiaolin put the fruit plate aside. She trusted Chen Huaiyang's ability and there was nothing he couldn't solve.

After staying for a while, he found that he couldn't talk to her, so he slipped away to the kitchen.

Mother Yang watched her go and come back, and asked, "You care so much about her, why don't you stay with her?"

Yang Xiaolin spread her hands. "I did think so. My dad was chatting with him happily and there was no room for me to interrupt. My dad disliked me being in the way and chased me away."

Yang's mother: "..." This comrade is amazing. Her husband is a knowledgeable man and it is difficult for him to keep up with his topics. She didn't expect that they could have a chat.

"Look at your happy face, you are happy now!"

"After passing your father's test, there's still your brother's test!"

Yang Xiaolin shrugged, "This is not something I should worry about. He will definitely be able to handle the little brat easily."

"I picked this person, okay? It pissed off my aunt and cousin. They always think they are superior and want to show off."

"She must be so frustrated when she gets back. Do you think Yang Xiaoju will yell at her boyfriend and prepare a three-turn and one-ring for her?"

Mother Yang shook her head: "Three turns and one ring, it sounds simple, but how can it be so easy to prepare?"

"Each item costs hundreds of yuan. Even if you are a working-class family, you need to save for years to get it. Ordinary people can't afford it easily."

"Did you ask Xiao Chen for these three turns and one ring, or did he promise to give them to you?"

Yang Xiaolin said bluntly: "It must have been given by him. How could I possibly tell him this?"

"He said that if others have it, I should prepare it for me, so that I won't lose out. If I don't hold on to a man like this, won't it be given to others?"

"Anyway, I have chosen him, and he is willing to support me, that is enough."

Yang's mother sighed: "Fools have good fortune."

Yang Xiaolin snorted, "I'm not stupid!"

They had a very happy meal. Apart from Yang Xiaotian who looked unhappy and found fault with him, Chen Huaiyang did not feel embarrassed.

After dinner, Yang Xiaolin told Chen Huaiyang to ask his parents to come over to discuss the marriage.

Chen Huaiyang patted his forehead and had completely forgotten about this matter.

I forgot that in this period, marriages were still arranged by matchmakers and parents’ decisions.

"Wait for me at home. I'll bring them here tomorrow and we'll finalize the marriage."

After Chen Huaiyang left, the money was directly deposited in the Yang family.

The two elders of the Yang family naturally disagreed, so Chen Huaiyang directly put Yang Xiaolin in his arms and said, "From now on, the financial power of the family will be managed by Linlin."
