Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

After spending a huge amount of effort and finally getting this communication done, I noticed that the situation outside seemed to have changed.

Dad Pan frowned, not knowing what was happening outside. His youngest daughter and Gong Shaoping were still chatting, but his son and Gong Shaomei were staring at the two of them.

Inexplicably, a strange style of painting was formed. Is this a blind date? If you don't know, you might think it's a live version of a love triangle!

He let out a long sigh, and thought to himself that he hoped one couple would end up being the other and the other not.

Then he would be at a greater loss, because the man could not give the bride price for his younger daughter, and his eldest son would need money to get married in the future.

By this calculation, their family suffers the most.

Now, if we talk about the marriage exchange, his son does not have to pay the betrothal gift and his daughter does not have to accept the bride price. Apart from the fact that the other family is really not that good, considering other factors, this is the best deal for his family.

Shao Mei's daughter is good-looking and virtuous, and is a perfect match for his son. Maybe after they get married and raise him, they will have a grandson next year.

He was just a little unhappy about his younger daughter's marriage. He had agreed to the marriage exchange, and looking at the way the young man had been chatting with his daughter since he came home, it can be seen that he was quite satisfied.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the man to regret the marriage, and if Pan's father said he did not want to change the marriage, he would not be able to do so. The eldest daughter did not like this family, so even if he chose someone else, he would not be able to choose another one.

Besides, the other person saved him and he agreed to the marriage exchange, and this can never be changed.

Feeling quite unhappy, Mr. Pan couldn't stand it any longer and walked over to ask his son to play chess with Gong Shaomei.

Originally, they couldn't talk to each other when they sat together, so if the conditions didn't exist, we created them and separated the four people to get along with each other, and the effect was indeed a little better.

After finishing this task, Dad Pan did not stay to get in the way, but strode back to the kitchen.

At this time, Pan's mother and Gong's mother had almost finished cooking the meal, with only the last two dishes left.

Dad Pan brought the food they had prepared earlier to the dining table, covered it, and went back to continue helping.

Seeing Mother Gong here, Mother Pan did not directly ask her eldest daughter why she came back. The last time her eldest daughter got so angry with them, she was afraid that Mother Gong would hear it and make some associations.

In fact, the sudden change in the candidate for the marriage was already very suspicious, but the Gong family never asked why the person changed, so the Pan family naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Now that the four children have met each other and have considered it carefully, marriage will not be far away.

By then we'll all be a family, and it would be bad if we create a rift or quarrel over this matter.

"I think you've cooked enough. We don't eat much, so there's no need to prepare so many dishes." Mother Gong wanted to stop him from cooking more. She could see that the meal this time was very rich, and she was afraid that if she cooked too much, it would be wasted.

She saw that there was a fish that had not been put into the pot yet, and she was afraid that the Pan family would have to cook so many dishes to entertain them, which would leave her family with no money and they would not be able to eat for a while.

Just these staple dishes, side dishes and meat alone amount to a considerable expense, which is even more sumptuous than what they eat during the Chinese New Year.

The Pan family truly treated them as guests, so she wanted to stop them. She was also considering whether the Pan family would keep such precious ingredients for themselves, rather than treating them to eat together. They were not distinguished guests.

"Now that you're home, you have to eat well. Big sister, you see, I've prepared all this. If you don't cook it, it will go bad if you leave it here. My eldest daughter is back, and with her, there will be eight people eating together. Don't worry about not being able to finish it. I'm afraid these won't be enough." Pan's mother said this to comfort Gong's mother. She could see that Gong's mother was a frugal person when she was cooking just now.

How could Gong Ma not hear that? In the middle of winter, even leftovers wouldn't spoil that quickly if they were left in the kitchen, let alone fish.

She didn't say anything else. After all, if the guest said more, the tone would change. It would make people feel that they were meddling in other people's business and making the host unhappy, which would be troublesome.

……

"The meal is ready. Children, come and wash your hands and serve the meal." Pan's father's shout was quickly responded to.

Pan Yuexing was the first one to come out of the room. As soon as she came back, her father dragged her into the room and wouldn't let her out. As long as the person to be exchanged for marriage was not her, she would be happy to cooperate and wait. She thought that everything that needed to be discussed outside had been discussed almost completely by now.

Her stomach had been growling with anticipation for a long time, and now it was finally time for dinner.

I washed my hands and went to get my meal before others, while those behind me had to wait in line.

Pan Yueting asked the two girls to wash their hands first, and he and Gong Shaoping followed behind.

After everyone had their meals, the scene at the table changed again.

Originally, the Pan family’s dining table could easily seat five people, but now it’s a bit crowded with eight people.

The children of the two families who were in exchange for marriage sat side by side in pairs. In the eyes of Pan's father and others, it was as if they could see what they would look like after their wedding. From this perspective, the two children seemed to be a good match.

While eating, Chengcheng did not forget to curry favor with Gong Shaoping, who was standing beside her, and gently poked him with the back of her chopsticks.

Seeing the other person looking at her with a puzzled look, she blinked at him and softened her voice to tell him what she wanted to eat.

It just so happened that she couldn't reach the dish, so she could take a look at how Gong Shaoping cooked it.

In full view of everyone, he still stood up and took the bowl from her hand several times.

Only when she heard her say "enough" again and grabbed the hem of his clothes did she stop.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, and the Gong family members' eyes lit up.

In their eyes, Gong Shaoping's actions were tantamount to sending a signal that he was interested in her, otherwise he would not do such a thing in front of others.

But Pan's father was in a difficult situation. He was relieved that the young man liked his daughter, but he still couldn't help feeling sad.

Everything he ate tasted sour, causing his teeth to ache and his appetite to decrease.

Pan's mother looked at the children and started talking to Gong's mother about business again. "After dinner, our two families will discuss the marriage exchange."

The two have already met, and the children know whether they are satisfied or not. It's time to ask about this matter.

Mother Gong had no reason to respond. She felt relieved when she noticed that there were people sitting next to her son and daughter who were eating at the table.

The biggest and most worrying stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she felt relieved when her children got married.

After dinner, the two families cleaned up the dishes and sat back at the table to discuss.

For parents, the attitude of their children is the first factor in their decision.

After being questioned, the four children publicly expressed their willingness to exchange marriages, and the matter was finalized.

The two families also began to discuss a suitable day. The Pan family took out the calendar and looked through it, and finally came up with the unanimous opinion of everyone present. In order to make it more convenient to set the same day, they chose December 12th.

It just so happens that the New Year is approaching, and the identities of the two families will officially change then.
