It was exactly the day to get their marriage certificate, and the old lady had thoughtfully chosen a good date for him.
Tomorrow morning, between nine and eleven o’clock, was the most suitable time slot.
Zhan Wei finished reading the list of dates that his grandmother had sent him. A smile appeared on his face. Grandma really understood him. She had picked the soonest possible date for him.
He called his grandmother.
The old lady answered the phone and asked him, “Old Seven, you have no objections to this date, right? These are the nearest ones, and they suit both of you perfectly.”
“Grandma, I am very satisfied. Thank you for the trouble.”
The old lady laughed and said, “Grandma knew you were in a hurry, so for the marriage certificate date, I picked the nearest one. We were lucky too. There just happened to be a good day available.”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
“Why be so polite with Grandma? As long as all of you settle down and start families, Grandma will feel at ease. All my wishes will have come true.”
Zhan Wei smiled and replied, “All of Grandma’s wishes will come true. I heard that Old Eight already has someone he likes. Grandma even gave him advice on how to pursue her.”
“Yes, the girl Old Eight likes is here in Guancheng. Not far away at all, very close. So Grandma gave him a few pointers. Old Eight is so slow. He is not anxious at all.”
“He is still young. No need to rush. Let him take his time dating first.”
“He is not that young anymore. In two more years he will be thirty. It is fine if Old Eight moves slowly. As long as he has someone he likes, Grandma will feel reassured.”
“I have told Grandma before not to worry about our affairs. Grandma should just eat well, drink well, sleep well, and enjoy herself. We are all adults now. We can handle our own matters.”
Zhan Wei had never been in a hurry about major life events.
It was only his family members who were anxious. Seeing him about to turn thirty-two, they were all getting extremely worried.
Now he had given them the fastest possible answer.
In just a few months, he had found someone he liked, met the parents, discussed marriage, and now they were getting married. The whole process would be completed in half a year.
“You are not off work yet? Grandma will eat first. When you and Ruoruo hold your wedding, Grandma will come over then. Grandma will not attend your engagement banquet.”
“With your parents there, and your eldest uncle and third uncle present, that will be enough.”
The old lady was getting on in years. She did not want to travel, and she could not manage it anymore.
Sometimes, no matter how much she refused to accept it, old age was unavoidable.
After ending the call, Zhan Wei forwarded the picture his grandmother had sent him to Lan Ruoruo.
Lan Ruoruo was either busy or had already finished work. She had not replied to him yet.
Zhan Wei was not in a hurry.
Anyway, his marriage with Ruoruo was certain and could not be escaped.
Over on the other side, after the old lady finished her meal, she was accompanied by Madam Shang for a walk in the courtyard to aid digestion. Then she returned to the guest room to rest.
Beibei had fallen asleep after eating her porridge and was still sleeping even now.
It was good that the little one was still asleep. That way the old lady could get some rest.
Otherwise, once Beibei woke up, the old lady would have to play with her.
For the old lady, every day was joyful and fulfilling.
So time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday.
Meanwhile, Zhan Wei, who was far away in Yangcheng, had already obtained the marriage certificate with Lan Ruoruo and held their engagement banquet. Now they were just waiting for the wedding day to arrive.
Tang Junye and her husband, along with Third Master and his wife, had already returned to Guancheng first.
Zhan Wei’s own parents were still staying in Yangcheng.
Zhan Wei was their youngest son, so they still needed to worry about him a bit more.
Now that their son and daughter-in-law had come back, and it was the weekend, their grandson and granddaughter-in-law did not need to return to the company. The old lady did not have to worry about her precious great-granddaughter being left without care. Last night, she had already asked the driver to take her to Zhan Yue’s home.
