Dai Shu Fang already had a premonition in her heart when Zhong Kang De uttered those words to her.
Seeing him kneeling in front of her at this moment, she was so stimulated that her hands trembled. Her throat felt like something was blocking it. She couldn't speak a word.
The others were obviously stunned by this scene too.
Most people in this era got married through the introduction of relatives and friends. Then they meet each other on a blind date. After the blind date, they date for a period of time. Once it feels right, they will get married soon.
There was basically no marriage proposal ceremony in the middle. When it was time to get married, they told the parents of both sides. Everyone would confirm the bride price. The marriage happened once the negotiation was settled.
The people present had never seen such a way of proposing marriage!
Everyone found it extremely novel. Their eyes were locked on the two people right now.
For Dai Shu Fang, this wasn't the first time she had been proposed in this way. Still, she was very excited.
Her cheeks were flushed. She subconsciously turned her head to look at her son.
Huo Chi stood beside Da Qiao and nodded to her.
Seeing that she didn't make a sound and looked at Huo Chi instead, he continued: "After we get married, Huo Chi doesn't need to change his way of addressing me. Keep calling me Professor works. You can keep doing your career. If you don't want to move out, I can move to Huo's house with old Mister Huo. Your life won't change except for having the addition of me!"
Hearing this, everyone present felt his fiery sincerity.
Zhong Kang De's family conditions weren't inferior to Huo Family's. If he didn't truly like Dai Shu Fang, ordinary men wouldn't be willing to move to the woman's ex-husband and father-in-law's house. It would be very awkward.
With her hands on both sides of her mouth, little Dong Yun called out in a sweet voice, "Auntie Fang, promise him!"
As soon as these words came out, it seemed that some switch had been turned on. The other children in the yard also shouted.
"Auntie Fang, promise him!"
"Hurry up and promise him. The suspense is killing me!"
Little Mi Bao didn't even know what a marriage proposal was, let alone what to promise. Still, she joined in the fun with everyone.
Everyone laughed when they heard her words.
Dai Shu Fang was also amused.
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and directed at Zhong Kang De: "I am willing to be your wife and accompany you until the end of life!"
Zhong Kang De blushed with joy, stood up, took out the ring from the box, and solemnly put it on the ring finger of Dai Shu Fang's left hand.
Excited, the two looked at each other and grinned. But because there were other people beside them, they restrained themselves from embracing each other.
Da Qiao took the lead in applauding. Everyone applauded along, creating a happy atmosphere in the yard.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Huo Chi turned his head to look at Da Qiao, who was smiling with curved eyebrows. His eyes showed his pondering.
Wan Chun Ju watched on as her heart turned into a lemon.
When Qiao Zhen Guo got engaged to her back then, he only brought five catties of pork and five yuan to her home. Like that, he married her home. She looked at the ring in Dai Shu Fang's hand and felt that she had lost out a lot.
She looked towards her man. Qiao Zhen Guo was talking with Gu Gu and Pi Pi. Not giving her a single glance.
Sometimes she felt that her man was seriously ill. Why did he pay attention to the chicken and dog every day? With that time, couldn't he care about her?
Simply pissing her off!
This new year was even more joyful because of the engagement of Dai Shu Fang and Zhong Kang De.
After the New Year, Dai Shu Fang and Zhong Kang De went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their certificates.
Because they were both married twice, they didn't plan to make it big. They invited everyone to dinner at home. Afterward, Zhong Kang De moved into Huo's house.
It went without saying Huo Hua Qing wouldn't object to him moving in. After so many years of getting along, he had already regarded Dai Shu Fang as his own daughter. If Dai Shu Fang moved out after getting married, he wouldn't be used to it.
Besides, Huo Family's house was very big. It wasn't a problem for one more person to live in.
When the teachers at Jinghua College found out about Zhong Kang De's remarriage, they all congratulated him. Some female teachers who were divorced and wanted to remarry were saddened when they found out.
At the end of February, Da Qiao and the others started school again.
As for Huo Chi, he decided to skip a grade. He wanted to graduate early and start his own company to provide Da Qiao with the best living conditions.
Although Huo Family was very rich now, he didn't earn the money himself. He wanted to use the money he earned to support his wife.
Da Qiao supported his approach. In fact, let alone Huo Chi, she also wanted to skip a grade. She planned to skip a grade after her sophomore year.
After returning to school, everyone also knew the results of the final exam from last semester. Without any surprise, Da Qiao got the first place in the whole year and won the first prize scholarship of their department.
Everyone congratulated her.
Because Class Monitor's departure, the class needed to vote for a new class monitor. Someone recommended Da Qiao, but Da Qiao declined.
Her personality wasn't the kind of person who likes to be in management. She didn't like to deal with all kinds of miscellaneous things. She preferred to spend her time doing things she likes.
Seeing this, they didn't force her. Being a class monitor meant one could exercise their abilities. Since she didn't like to, there were always people who liked to do this kind of work. Everyone voted for another boy to do it.
Because of the election of the monitor class, everyone couldn't help but think about the former class monitor's matter and felt infinitely sad.
Once it reached sunny March, Qiao Dong He's belly finally started to move.
Once it was the eighth month, Wan Chun Ju was driven over by her mother-in-law to take care of her daughter.
Despite grumbling a bit, Wan Chun Ju came over.
Although Wan Chun Ju favored sons over daughters, Qiao Dong He was her first child. So she was different. What's more, her daughter was now married. In her eyes, she was someone else's family, not someone she can casually beat and scold.
So the two mother and daughter got along fairly well.
According to the trajectory of the previous life, Wan Chun Ju's split personality had already become serious now. However, Wan Chun Ju's life in this life was obviously better than the previous life.
Except for Qiao Zhen Guo's occasional reproach, she had nothing to worry about at home. Although Qiao Zhen Guo has a sharp mouth, he didn't beat his wife or get entangled with other women. Wan Chun Ju was very assured about him.
And An Ping, her only son, was now very capable. Wherever she went, she would show off her son. Youngest Daughter will soon be popular all over the country.
So she really had nothing to worry about. Her life was going smoothly. In addition, over the years, she had been consuming the jade beads given by Da Qiao on and off. So the crybaby personality disappeared just like that.
Because Luo Jun Liang had rehearsed with Wan Chun Ju several times before, Wan Chun Ju didn't panic when Qiao Dong He went into labor. She immediately ran out to find Elder Sister Lan. Together they helped Qiao Dong He catch a ride to the hospital.
The last time Elder Sister Lan saved Qiao Dong He's life, Luo Jun Liang wrapped Elder Sister Lan a big red envelope later and sent many gifts to her family.
Elder Sister Lan refused but wasn't successful. In the end, she had to accept. The relationship between the two families had gotten closer since then.
Qiao Dong He was sent to the hospital. Because the cervix dilated quickly, she was immediately sent to the delivery room.
When Luo Jun Liang came over, their son had already been born. A plump boy weighing seven jins.
When the nurse handed him the recently washed and wrapped in swaddling clothes baby, Luo Jun Liang's eyes slightly reddened.
Of course, it wasn't due to Qiao Dong He giving birth to a son. He didn't care whether he had a son or a daughter. Anyway, it was their child. Whether it was a boy or a girl, they would still dote on the child.
He was just very emotional. He almost couldn't see this little chubby guy!
Qiao Dong He still had some energy in her. Although she almost experienced a miscarriage before, she nourished up afterward.
In addition, when Mother Luo left, her body recovered as soon as she was in a good mood. That's why she nourished out such a little chubby guy.
In the afternoon, everyone in Qiao Family except for the children who were in school came to the hospital to see Qiao Dong He and the baby.
An Ping made two baskets of red eggs for his elder sister, as well as a jar of ginger vinegar eggs and old hen soup.
Last time when Qiao Dong He got pushed down by Mother Luo, An Ping didn't know until later. After knowing it, he was very hurt and felt that Qiao Dong He didn't treat him as family.
Qiao Dong He quickly apologized to him, saying that it wasn't that she didn't regard him as family, but mainly because she was afraid that Mom would nag.
An Ping responded that even if he found out, he would help hide it. He stated that he was the only boy in first branch. He could support them three sisters!
After that conversation, the relationship between the two siblings became closer than before.
At this time, An Ping held his little nephew. Frowning, he remarked, "Elder Sister, why does little Qi Jin look like a little old man? Will he be so ugly when he grows up?"
Luo Jun Liang, who became a father for the first time, couldn't stand hearing this and immediately snatched his son back with care: "My son is very handsome. If you keep talking nonsense, be careful of him pissing on you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, little Qi Jin shot up to the sky and pissed on his dad's face.
Everyone was stunned. After a pause, laughter burst out.
Luo Jun Liang looked at his son and helplessly grinned.
When Da Qiao came back on the weekend and saw her little nephew, Little Qi Jin had grown fair and plump. No longer wrinkled like an old man when he was born.
Da Qiao held her soft little nephew as her heart softened.
She reached out and tapped his little nose, "Little Qi Jin, I am your second aunt. You gotta grow up healthy and happy."
Little Qi Jin stared at her black grape-like eyes. He gave her a toothless smile and a burst of giggles.
Hearing her son's laughter, Qiao Dong He found it both novel and slightly jealous: "This brat. No matter how much we teased him before, he won't laugh. But as soon as you come over, he laughs!"
Da Qiao pursed her lips into a smile: "That's because little Qi Jin likes Second Aunt very much. Right?"
Little Qi Jin giggled again, as if echoing what she said.
Luo Jun Liang who came home from class felt very sad when he saw this scene.
Only after Qiao Dong He got out of postnatal confinement, Luo Qing told Mother Luo that Qiao Dong He had given birth to a grandson for Luo Family.
Mother Luo was so shocked that her eyes widened: "You're lying, aren't you? Her belly was so round. At first glance, one can tell she was carrying a girl. How could she give birth to a son?"
Luo Qing frowned: "Is this kind of thing something to lie about? You are also strange. You did such vicious things in order to have a grandson. Now Grandson is here, you don't believe it. Don't know what your brain is thinking every day!"
It wasn't that Mother Luo didn't want a grandson. But if Qiao Dong He gave birth to a grandson, then what she did back then would be laughable.
What's more, she almost killed precious golden grandson. She suddenly felt terrified when she thought about it.
But wanting her to admit her mistake, it was impossible in this life.
So she threw what she had done before to the back of her mind. She slapped her thigh and grinned: "Wonderful! My golden grandson, Grandmother is coming to the capital to see you!"
With that said, she ran to the room to pack her things, preparing to go to the capital to see her grandson. She completely forgot about the ban.
How could Luo Qing possibly let her go? He followed in and threw the things she packed aside: "No. You're staying at home. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"
Mother Luo was so angry that she was gnashing her teeth. She was about to pounce on him and go all out.
However, she suddenly collapsed to the ground and convulsed. Then foam appeared in her mouth. A very scary sight.
At first Luo Qing thought she was faking it. Soon he realized something was wrong. He immediately picked her up and sent her to the hospital.
Once she was sent to the hospital, Mother Luo was close to dying. In less than half an hour, she passed away.
When Luo Qing sent her to the hospital, he thought she had a stroke. In fact, Mother Luo had a rabies attack.
The incubation period of rabies was as long as 20 years. Even when one has been vaccinated against rabies, they may not be 100% safe.
Generally speaking, if one had been vaccinated, they would be fine. However, there were exceptions to everything. Mother Luo was that exception.
Back then, Mother Luo was sent to the hospital too late and the wound was too large. This resulted in not completely wiping out the virus in her body. It was just that the attack didn't happen at that time. Only now, it did.
When Luo Jun Liang and Qiao Dong He received a call from home, they were both stunned.
How can a perfectly fine person pass out of the blue?
