Chapter 368: Tang Chengmin Is Under Marriage Pressure
After spending New Year in Jiacheng, the whole family got on the High-Speed Rail and headed to Zhannan City.
Little Qin Yiyi had just gotten down from the back row, and when she saw the elders waiting ahead, she looked extremely curious, but not afraid at all, forming a sharp contrast to her mother’s formerly shy personality.
Unlike the two elders who had still been quite hale in the past, Grandfather and Grandmother were now clearly much older, their hair graying, though their spirits were still relatively good.
As soon as they saw Qin Yiyi getting off the train so obediently and neatly, the two elders immediately went up to greet her.
“Oh, Xiao Yiyi has gotten taller again…”
“Does Xiao Yiyi still remember us?”
Coming to their great-granddaughter’s side, the two elders looked smilingly at Qin Yiyi, who resembled their granddaughter so much when she was little, and could not resist rubbing Qin Yiyi’s little head.
“Yi Yi remembers! Great-Grandmother, Great-Grandfather, Happy New Year!”
Little Qin Yiyi thought for a moment, then immediately found the images of these two kind elders in her memory and greeted them with a grin.
Qin Yiyi was not at all afraid of her fierce-looking great-grandfather, which made Grandfather very happy.
He remembered how, when his granddaughter had first been brought back and saw him for the First Time, she had been startled.
He had not expected that Qin Yiyi, who had still been nestled in his granddaughter’s arms last time, would already be so clever and unafraid of strangers…
“Xiao Yiyi is so clever, still remembering after so long!” Grandfather praised her, then took a Red Envelope out of his pocket with slightly trembling hands and handed it to Qin Yiyi with a kind smile, “Happy New Year. This is a Red Envelope from Great-Grandfather for Xiao Yiyi. Keep it safe and buy candy to eat.”
“Yes, buy candy.” Grandmother, seeing this, also nodded with a chuckle and pinched Qin Yiyi’s fair, cute little cheek.
“Thank you, Great-Grandmother, Great-Grandfather!” Qin Yiyi’s eyes lit up. After taking it, she thanked them very politely, making the elders laugh heartily.
Lin Xinyuan and Qin Nanfeng, who had just gotten off the train, could not help smiling at such a warm scene.
Next, Lin Xinyuan took her daughter and chatted with Eldest Uncle and the others for a while.
It was worth mentioning that this year Eldest Uncle’s family had not been able to come back, which made Grandfather and Grandmother feel somewhat regretful.
But after all, they also knew that their Son’s family was doing work for the Kingdom, so they certainly could not come back every New Year…
Thinking of it that way, they felt proud and honored again.
It was already near noon, and it happened to be almost lunchtime, so Lin Xinyuan wanted to follow her adoptive mother and Second Uncle’s Wife to the Kitchen, but she was quickly refused by the elders, who told her to stay in the Living Room and chat with the old folks.
Helpless, she could only return to the Living Room.
At her Cousin Sister’s wave, she sat down beside her and quietly watched her daughter being teased by Tang Yayun.
In the Living Room, although Eldest Uncle’s family had not come back and there was less liveliness, the atmosphere was still warm.
They brewed tea and sat around the tea table drinking and chatting, with most topics revolving around the younger generation’s marriages and children.
And among them, the two unmarried Tang Family siblings naturally could not avoid being “grilled” again by Grandmother and the others.
Tang Yayun was better off, at least she had brought her Boyfriend home, who seemed to be named Chen Liang…
He was from Yue Province Chancheng, rather handsome, tall, and very good with words.
He chatted with everyone very congenially, often making Second Uncle laugh heartily, and seemed to satisfy Second Uncle greatly.
Lin Xinyuan seemed to have heard this name before, but it had been too long, and she had almost forgotten when she had heard it…
After the couple received the two elders’ on-the-spot Marriage Pressure, Chen Liang immediately stood up and said that once his work stabilized next year, he would definitely marry.
Anyway, he had already brought Tang Yayun to meet his parents, and even both sets of parents had had a Video Call, and both sides were very satisfied.
Once he said this, Grandfather and Grandmother nodded in satisfaction, and then naturally immediately looked at Tang Chengmin, the only one still single.
“Chengmin! How old are you now? You’re over thirty. If you keep going, you’ll run out of sperm, you know?”
Grandfather looked at his second grandson with anger at his failure to meet expectations, full of dissatisfaction.
“Grandfather, a Man can probably still do it at sixty!” Tang Chengmin acted indifferent and spread his hands.
To be honest, this was not the first time the elders had urged him, but he always tended to not marry for the time being and put it off whenever possible.
It was not because he lacked money; after all, his family’s conditions were quite good, and even if he married a wife from Sui Province, it would be more than enough…
In fact, perhaps because he had dated too much in his early years and had too many romantic experiences, he had seen through many things and seemed to have entered sage mode.
If he had not met someone he liked, he did not want to settle at all.
In Tang Chengmin’s view, of course it would be best to find a girl like his Cousin Sister.
Cough…
Although his standards were not that high, at least she had to suit his taste; it would be good not to waste his time making money…
As soon as he said this, the elders all looked helpless.
“You child! Your Meimei has been married for years, and Xiao Yiyi is already four years old! Are you still going to drag it out?” Grandmother’s temper rose, and her momentum rose by more than a notch. “Look at your Brother, he already has two children!”
Even though Second Uncle was relatively open-minded about his own Son, seeing that Tang Chengmin was already over thirty and had never brought a Girlfriend home, he was still quite dissatisfied deep down.
He put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly. “Xiaomin, since your work is stable now, find a wife! Your mother and I are both anxious waiting.”
“If I wait any longer, I’ll be in the ground!” Grandfather shook his head.
Hearing her Grandfather’s words, Lin Xinyuan could not help frowning.
“Grandfather, what are you saying during New Year! Your health is very good! As for Cousin… um… he definitely has his own ideas…”
“Grandfather, Xiaoyuan is right. Something as important as marriage cannot be done casually; it should be found slowly.”
Qin Nanfeng said, then glanced at Tang Chengmin with a smile, his eyes shifting.
Seeing his Cousin Sister and her husband speak up for him, Tang Chengmin nearly burst into tears, his heart full of gratitude.
As expected of his good Meimei and good Brother-in-law! Unlike those two unscrupulous guys…
Thinking this, he glared discontentedly at Tang Yayun and Chen Liang, who were still covering their mouths and laughing.
Especially Chen Liang, that guy! He had actually set his sights on his Meimei so long ago! He was truly no brother!
Sensing Tang Chengmin’s gaze, Chen Liang smiled awkwardly, then turned his face away and looked again at his fiancee, who was teasing their niece, his face full of smugness.
There was no helping it; he had taken a fancy to her at first sight…
Hearing his granddaughter and granddaughter’s husband’s comforting words, Grandfather immediately fell silent.
He glanced at Lin Xinyuan’s face, full of disapproval toward him, and knew it was because his granddaughter was worried about him.
The old man’s heart warmed. He then looked at Qin Nanfeng, whose bearing was calm, and felt very satisfied and comforted.
Finally, he glanced at his second grandson, who was beaming with joy, and shook his head with a sigh.
“Fine, do as you please… It’s New Year… Let’s not think about this.”
Seeing that Grandfather had taken this attitude, Grandmother, even though very dissatisfied, only glared at her second grandson.
Stinky brat! If he still did not find her a Granddaughter-in-law in the next two years, she would chase him out!
Second Uncle also said no more.
He gave his Son a look, meaning he wanted Tang Chengmin to marry within the next two years if possible and not drag it out any longer.
Receiving the elders’ urging looks and then thinking of his Mother’s nagging, Tang Chengmin’s scalp tingled.
But although he was unwilling, he also knew that being over thirty and still single was indeed not a good look, so he thought he would first find a Girlfriend to deal with it and at least give an explanation…
Seeing this, Lin Xinyuan and someone silently exchanged a glance, both unable to hold back a soft laugh.
Then she looked at Qin Yiyi, who was playing around with her Cousin Sister, her face full of tenderness.
