Chapter 113 Apply for an engagement
Cheng Yi’s eyes lit up slightly, but then dimmed again: “I know, but I still worry occasionally.”
An Yan immediately asked, “How about so that you won’t be worried?”
Finally waiting for this question, Cheng Yi pretended to hesitate for a while, and then asked: “Yanyan, do you know why humans want to get married?”
An Yan doesn’t know much about human marriage, but when he was looking for what to do when he liked someone, he saw a post saying that if you like someone, be bold Propose him to marry him and build a happy family with him.
He said a little uncertainly: “Because marriage is a way of expressing love?”
Cheng Yi replied: “Not only that, marriage is actually a responsibility. Only those who are ready to spend a lifetime together will join hands to enter the palace of marriage.”
An Yan nodded, “So that’s how it is.”
Cheng also added: “In addition to responsibility, marriage is actually a ceremony, so that the two people who enter the wedding can get more recognition and blessings.”
Hearing this, An Yan almost knew what Cheng Yi meant.
He immediately said: “Does the senior want to marry me? Yes!”
Although An Yan almost understood what Cheng Yi said, he didn’t really feel anything.
He doesn’t quite understand what the so-called sense of ritual means, nor does he feel that he needs to be recognized and blessed by others.
But since Cheng Yi is very concerned about these, of course he chooses to get married.
Cheng Yi was warm-hearted to the little guy’s attitude, but also a little dumbfounded: “I really want to marry Yanyan immediately, but we are not old enough to get married yet.”
An Yan couldn’t help frowning: “Then what should I do?”
“Although we can’t get married now, we can get engaged first,” Cheng also said step by step, “Although engagement is not as grand as marriage, most people approve of the engagement ceremony. ”
Especially a big family with a high reputation like the Cheng family attaches great importance to engagement. The engagement ceremony will only be held if it is confirmed that the two will get married in the future.
An Yan is also not sensitive to the difference between engagement and marriage, but since Cheng Yi said so, of course he will not refuse: “Then let’s get engaged!”
Cheng also asked confirmingly, “Will Yanyan really want to get engaged to me?”
An Yan nodded immediately: “Of course!”
With satisfactory results, Cheng Yi finally stopped trying to hide the light in his eyes, and his dark eyes seemed to be lit with stars: “Thank you, Yanyan.”
Seeing Cheng also happy, An Yan also became happy, stretched out his arms to hug him and said, “This is what I should do.”
Being hugged by An Yan, Cheng Yi almost caught fire again, and it took a while to calm down before finally stabilizing.
The next morning, Cheng Yi got up early and went downstairs, sitting on the sofa in the living room and waiting for others.
Mother Cheng was the first to go downstairs. Seeing that Cheng Yi was sitting in the living room, wearing a serious suit, she couldn’t help but wonder: “Ayi, you Where are you going out?”
Cheng Yi looked back at his mother: “I confessed to Yan Yan last night, and he accepted.”
Mother Cheng sincerely commented: “Yanyan is really a kind child.”
Cheng Yi: “…” Mother’s hurt always comes so naturally.
Mother Cheng asked again: “So you are going to look for him today in this way?”
Cheng Yi directly replied with a heavy bullet: “I want to get engaged with Yanyan.”
Cheng Yi repeated it again: “I want to get engaged to Yanyan as soon as possible. Today I plan to visit the door in person and tell Yanyan’s mother about this.”
Mother Cheng walked up to her son with eyes wide open: “An Yan is only eighteen years old this year. Is it too early to be engaged to you now?”
When Cheng Yi opened his mouth to mention this matter, Cheng’s mother saw through his insidious scheme at a glance.
So after hearing this, Mother Cheng’s first reaction was to think about An Yan.
An Yan has just come of age this year, plus she is simple-minded, and it is the first time she is being pursued by others, so she will easily agree, maybe she will not look down on her son in the future?
Cheng Yi glanced at her mother and said in a very serious tone, “I won’t let Yan Yan regret it.”
Mother Cheng sat down opposite Cheng Yi and sighed: “An Yan is such a good child, of course I don’t object to you being with him, but the problem is that An Yan’s mother may not be the same. Do you think so?”
Cheng Yi had been in contact with An Yan’s mother several times before, and probably knew the other party’s thoughts.
He believed that as long as he showed enough sincerity and done enough, she would agree to this matter.
But in the face of her mother’s worries, Cheng Yi just said lightly: “If Yanyan’s mother doesn’t agree, I won’t force it.”
The son’s attitude is so firm, of course Mother Cheng did not continue to attack him: “If An Yan’s mother does not agree, I can come forward and ask for an engagement, but you have to promise that you will be fine in the future. Treating An Yan, we cannot let him be wronged.”
Cheng Yi’s heart warmed, and he seriously assured: “I will.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Grandpa Cheng’s strong and powerful voice from the stairs: “Of course, it’s best for me to bring up such an important matter as engagement. When I go back to change clothes, we will Set off.”
Home.
An Yan, who had just woken up from a sweet dream, didn’t know what happened to the Cheng family, because there was no plan to go out today, so he went straight out in a pajamas with cartoon patterns on it. off the floor.
“Good morning, Mom.” An Yan yawned and greeted An Mu who was sitting in the living room.
An mother seemed to be thinking about something, and she came back to her senses when she heard the voice, with an unnatural smile on her face: “Yanyan good morning.”
Compared to last night, Mother An’s mental state seems to have gotten worse.
An Yan was worried and couldn’t help asking: “Mom, why does your face look so bad? Did something happen?”
“No, maybe I didn’t sleep well last night,” An Mu stood up evasively, “I haven’t made breakfast yet, you wait a while, I’ll…”
An Yan stopped her before she could finish her words: “I’ll make breakfast, mom, rest for a while.”
After An Yan finished speaking, she walked straight to the kitchen. Mother An stared at his back for a while, thinking of something, and sighed heavily.
Although there were only two people eating breakfast, An Yan still prepared very carefully, cooking noodles, porridge, and a few side dishes.
But An Mu’s appetite seems to be very bad, she only ate a few mouthfuls of noodles, drank half a bowl of porridge, and put down the tableware.
“Mom, is the food I cook unpalatable?” An Yan was a little worried, last night An mother didn’t eat much.
An mother smiled and shook her head: “I’m not too hungry.”
An Yan did not intend to ask more questions, after all, everyone has their own secrets, which is normal.
But now seeing An’s mother who couldn’t eat well and couldn’t sleep, An Yan finally couldn’t help it.
“Mom, I’m not a child anymore, even if I can’t help you, Mom doesn’t need to hide it from me,” An Yan looked at Mother An seriously, and said in a sincere tone, “So mother Can’t you tell me what’s bothering you recently?”
When she heard her son’s words, An Yan’s eyes instantly turned red. She was moved, but also because the things that had been suppressed in her heart had reached a certain critical point, and finally broke out in An Yan’s words. come out.
An Yan hurriedly took a tissue and handed it to Mother An, with a flustered tone: “Did I say something wrong? If it’s really inconvenient to tell me, it doesn’t matter, I just hope my mother can be happy a little.”
An mother pressed the corner of her eye with a tissue. Although her eyes were still red, her face was a little more relieved.
She shook her head and said softly, “Mom is happy, my words have really grown up.”
An Yan straightened her back and said proudly, “I’m already an adult, you see I’m taller than my mother now!”
An mother was really amused, and she finally relaxed after a night of repression. She sighed lightly: “Actually, this matter… I should really tell you.”
Speaking of this, Mother An stopped.
An Yan did not rush, but waited patiently.
After a while, Mother An finally adjusted her state and slowly said, “Yanyan, do you still want to know who your father is?”
An Yan was stunned when he asked this question, and for a while he couldn’t even understand the meaning of this sentence.
After careful recall, he found some fragments from the original owner’s memory.
The little human An Yan was scolded by others as a wild child without a father. When he returned home, he cried and asked An Yan: “Mom, who is my father? Why do I never Haven’t seen him? Did he not want us?”
The mother at that time looked very sad, but she did not answer these questions directly, but only comforted Xiao Anyan: “Yanyan don’t cry, is someone bullying you? Don’t be afraid, mother will protect you of.”
When human An Yan was still young, this scene happened many times, sometimes he cried and asked An Yan, sometimes with anger, and sometimes A quarrel that stretches out when an argument occurs.
But in either case, Mother An has never answered these questions directly.
Later, I probably realized that I couldn’t get the answer, so An Yan stopped asking, and these questions were slowly forgotten in the corner.
Perhaps these issues are not forgotten, but carefully hidden from touch.
