Chapter 435 The Stubborn and Clingy Big Guy

Fang Meng and Zhu Kaixuan entered the house together. One of them learned that their daughter was back, and the other learned that their girlfriend was back. After finishing their work for the day, they didn't linger for half a minute and rushed home.

Halfway there, Fang Meng picked up Hua Hua and Fu Gui'er. As soon as the father-in-law and son-in-law arrived at their doorstep, they saw white smoke rising from the direction of the kitchen, and their eyes lit up immediately.

"Daughter, Dad's home!"

"Niu Niu, why didn't you wait for me to come back before you cooked?"

Zhu Kaixuan paused, glancing disdainfully at the brat. He really was showing off, more capable than his father.

Fang Meng glanced at his future father-in-law with amusement and quickly said, "Dad, I just don't want to tire Niu Niu out. She's been busy outside for almost half a month because of that case. How can I ask her to cook when she gets home?"

Zhu Kaixuan immediately stopped complaining and patted her son-in-law on the shoulder with satisfaction: "You're right, you go to the kitchen first, I'll go hang up my coat."

“Okay, there’s mine too, Dad!” Fang Meng took off his military overcoat and handed it to Zhu Kaixuan, not feeling that there was anything wrong with letting his elders help hang up the clothes. Then he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhu Kaixuan was also wearing a military overcoat, but their overcoats were not the heavy cotton ones; they were made of cashmere and were double-breasted, peaked-collar winter overcoats specially issued to officers by the military. Wearing them made him look even more upright and spirited.

Both father-in-law and son-in-law are tall and strong, and each is taller than the other. They both look particularly good in these military overcoats.

However, one is her own father, and the other is her childhood sweetheart. Her appearance really doesn't attract Bai Nuo. She is now puzzled by one thing.

Bai Nuo poked her little head out from the kitchen, looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"When did you change your tune? Did he give you money?"

Fang Meng smiled and walked over, squatted down, and looked at the little girl's cute appearance. He affectionately rubbed her little head, but the little girl raised her hand and pushed it away in dissatisfaction.

Fang Meng wasn't angry at all. On the contrary, he thought his little girlfriend was even cuter. If he wasn't afraid of being beaten by his father-in-law, he really wanted to hold that little face and give her a big kiss.

“I came back last night. Dad wasn’t busy, so we had a few drinks at home. Dad got a little tipsy and kept pulling me to call him ‘Dad.’ I said no, I haven’t earned the ‘change of address fee’ for my wife yet, so I can’t call him that. But Dad turned around and went into the house and took out 1,100 yuan. He figured he was going to change the address sooner or later anyway, and since the change of address fee was paid, what could I do but accept it? I changed the address right there and then. I’ll put the money in the drawer of your dressing table in your room. Remember to put it away later.”

Bai Nuo looked at the smug man with amusement: "Why didn't you keep the change of address fee for yourself?"

I don't know if it's because the two of them got used to living in Northeast China, but even though they've been back for several months, they speak Mandarin without accents when talking to others, and occasionally they'll unconsciously add a bit of Beijing accent. But when the two of them talk, their Northeast accents are so strong that anyone who hears them can't help but say that these two Northeast kids are really interesting.

Fang Meng quickly pursed his lips, looking pitiful and innocent, and shook his head: "I wouldn't dare. The New Year is almost here. If you let it slip to Grandma when we go back to the Fang family to pay our respects, she'll beat me up. You know how it is. From childhood to adulthood, whenever we're together in front of Grandma, you're considered the Fang family's biological daughter. Grandma would love to hold you in her arms and wouldn't let you leave her side. I'm just a worthless child bride, no... a child groom. I've never gotten the better end of the deal."

The little girl's smile grew even brighter. She raised her hand and ruffled the man's hair vigorously, her tone full of smugness: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Who told me to be so good-looking and cute since I was little? You, my older brother, and Brother Fang can't compare."

"Yes, yes, my girl is the prettiest and cutest, the best in the world." Fang Meng smiled and scratched the little girl's chin. Then he stood up and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "What have you prepared? I'll do it. You can just rest on the side. By the way, Dad said he plans to arrange a marriage between us during the New Year. An arranged marriage is more secure than dating. Even if I come every day, no one will gossip."

Also, you don't need to worry about Grandma Wei. Grandpa can contact her occasionally. Dad has already asked Grandpa to consult with Grandma Wei beforehand, and she and Grandpa have no objections, hehe!

Fang Meng originally wanted to maintain his composure, but he became more and more excited as he talked, and finally couldn't help but grin and chuckle.

The girl has already turned seventeen. In another year, they can get their marriage certificate. The two have always had a good relationship. Getting engaged first will put the elders at ease and also prevent unnecessary gossip from the outside world. That's why they came up with this idea.

However, Fang Meng didn't think that complicatedly. He just wanted to settle things officially as soon as possible, so that those outsiders wouldn't have any chance to fantasize.

His little girl will be his in this life, the next life, and the life after that.

Bai Nuo had no objection to this matter. She had never thought about changing partners. Between her and Fang Meng, there was only one outcome in this life: widowhood. Even if an accident occurred, the result would only be either her murder or natural death.

"Since Grandma has agreed, let's wait until everyone is less busy during the Lunar New Year and choose a day for the two families to meet and finalize the arrangements. However, for the wedding, we must wait for Grandma and Grandpa to come back first."

She is the heir of the Wei family. According to the Wei family rules, the heir's marriage must be approved by the head of the family, and the marriage should be presided over by the head of the family. If her maternal grandmother is not alive, she cannot get married. However, obtaining a marriage certificate does not require so many rules.

Fang Meng knew a little about the Wei family rules. Like the Zhu family, the old Fang family's patriarch came from the countryside and earned his current status by fighting on the battlefield. The family didn't even have a proper genealogy book, let alone many rules.

But his maternal grandmother's side also came from a prominent family with many rules, so he understood all of that. However, he would absolutely not give up the benefits that were due to him.

So, he didn't even bother cooking. He turned around, took a long stride, and squatted down in front of the little girl. He reached out and took her little hand in his, pouting and looking at her pitifully. The hand holding her little hand even shook its head slightly.

“Baby, our wedding definitely has to wait until Grandma Wei and Grandpa Bai come back before we can hold it. Otherwise, my grandma won’t even agree to it. But… can we talk about it? When you turn eighteen, can we get our marriage certificate first? It’s torture for me to wait even one more day.”

In the end, he drooped his head, snuggled into the little girl's arms, stretched out his long arms, and hugged the little girl sitting on the small stool, making "woo woo woo" sounds while swaying her.

Zhu Kaixuan hung up his clothes and went to wash his face. He had just reached the kitchen door when he saw this scene, and immediately... his toothache throbbed.
