Chapter 1749: Chapter 1749: Why Not Just Cut to the Chase

"I think so. Today, my partner’s father talked to me alone for a few minutes. I’m pretty sure we’re close to sealing the deal. The rest depends on how you discuss it when you come."

"Alright then, since the girl’s family agreed, we’ll pack up tomorrow and buy tickets to go the day after. The sooner it’s settled, the better; you should all feel at ease. You’re not that young anymore; when your big brother and second brother were your age, their kids were already running all over the place."

"Dad, nowadays a family can only have one child, whether sooner or later, it’s the same."

"True, but getting married sooner is better. Son, well done. The girl is a local from the Capital City; you’re marrying up. You need to treat her well in the future, okay?"

"Mm, I will. Ran Ran is great."

"Alright, this phone call costs quite a bit; we understand the matter now. We’ll call you once the tickets are booked."

After hanging up the phone, all the villagers sitting at the village head’s house knew the third son of the Zhou Family has found himself a partner from the Capital City, and the Zhou Family will visit their future in-laws in the Capital City. Whether sincere or not, everyone congratulated them.

Zhou Family parents got home and urgently held a family meeting. Eventually, accompanying them would be Zhou’s dad, Zhou Zhaoyuan; Zhou’s mom, Wang Xiaoqin; and Zhou Family’s big brother, Zhou Qin.

Zhou Family members were a bit excited and planned to take the train to Baoji tomorrow afternoon, then transfer to Capital City. They started packing their stuff overnight because the excitement made it hard for them to sleep.

Wang Xiaoqin said, "I don’t know if the things we’re bringing will be disliked by the in-laws. But we don’t have anything better we can present."

Zhou Zhaoyuan watched his wife pacing around, "Alright then, pack up and rest early. Since the family agreed to meet, they’ve accepted our terms. It’s just a sign of our sincerity."

Wang Xiaoqin nodded, "Yes, last time Leizi came back and said when he first learned about that girl’s family background, he considered backing out. But he really likes her and couldn’t let go.

"The girl is beautiful and kind, but her family conditions are just too good. Leizi was afraid she’d look down on him, look down on our place, but the girl said she liked him for who he is. Our conditions have indeed made it hard for Leizi."

Zhou Zhaoyuan coughed lightly, "Compared to the Capital City, we may not be great, but in our area, our conditions aren’t really bad."

Wang Xiaoqin glared at her husband, "You’re such a talker."

When Luo Qiao and the others arrived home, it was quite late. Rong Daniang saw them come back, "I was just thinking you should be home by now."

Xiao Ye held up the apples in his hands and said, "Grandma Rong, these apples come from afar, and I brought them back for you. You must eat them."

Rong Daniang laughed, "Oh dear, I must really taste these carefully. This is my dear Xiao Ye’s thoughtful gesture."

It was getting late, so everyone said a few words and went to their rooms.

Luo Qiao came out after taking a shower, not seeing Lu Yichen, but instead saw her two daughters in her room, "It’s so late, aren’t you two going to sleep? Don’t you need to go back to school tomorrow?"

Yanyan giggled and pulled her to sit down, helping her with her hair, drying it, then she wrapped her arms around Luo Qiao’s neck and said, "Mom, if we find a partner in the future, do you have any requirements?"

Luo Qiao looked up at Yanyan, "Are you in a relationship?"

Yanyan released Luo Qiao and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I’m still young. Just seeing that Sister Ranran’s situation is settled, I wanted to ask if you had any requirements, to use as a future reference."

Luo Qiao laughed, "Why don’t you ask your dad?"

Yueyue also approached, "Dad still has to listen to Mom, might as well go straight to the source."
