Chapter 2286 No way out
Just as Xia Jian's family was talking about Wang Youcai, Ma Yan suddenly walked in. She smiled and said to Sun Yuejuan: "Auntie! My dad invited Xia Jian to visit my house."
"Oh! Is this bastard still necessary to invite him? He will be there later." Sun Yuejuan was obviously a little surprised.
Ma Yan glanced at Xia Jian, lowered her voice and said, "Then hurry up! The food at home has been prepared for you." Ma Yan finished speaking and walked quickly.
Xia Zecheng laughed and said, "This etiquette is wrong. You should take the initiative to greet Ma Yan's parents, so someone invites you to come over."
"Is it interesting to say this nonsense? Get ready for it now. Alas! I will tell you that Ma Dongshan is a businessman. He does business outside all year round, so he is a person who has seen the world. When you see him later, you have to pay attention."
As Sun Yuejuan said to Xia Jian, she stood up and packed gifts for him. Ma Yan came to invite him to visit, and Xia Jian was really confused.
Did Ma Yan's parents know about what happened last night and wanted to settle the score with him? If you invite him to visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year, this may not be simple. He has to think about it, otherwise he might lose his adults in a while.
Two bottles of good wine, one good cigarette, and one box of fruit and one box of milk. This is the gift Sun Yuejuan prepared for Xia Jian to go to Ma Yan's house.
Xia Jian glanced at his parents and said, "What are you trying to do? Don't you find it strange to bring so many things over?"
"What's so strange? Just listen to us. Take us away quickly." Xia Zecheng's face changed suddenly, and he looked a little scary.
Xia Jian thought for a moment and didn't want to make his parents angry, so he brought these gifts to Ma Yan's house. On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year was strong. The young young people in the village carried the gifts and walked up with relatives.
When he was young, Xia Jian did not do much like this. However, in the past few years, he has either been away from home or was tight when he returned home, and the relatives in the village have left for his parents to leave.
Along the way, Xia Jian greeted everyone. Except for some children born in recent years, Xia Jian could basically recognize the rest of the people in the village. Anyway, it would be better to meet and say hello to everyone than not ask people. Even if you ask the wrong one, it would be fine.
Thinking of these interesting things, Xia Jian inadvertently walked into the gate of Ma Yan's house. As soon as Ma Yan's mother came out of the kitchen, she saw Xia Jian at a glance.
"Ma Yan! Come out quickly, Xia Jian is here." Ma Yan's mother shouted loudly.
Ma Yan rushed out of her room, grabbed the gift from Xia Jian, and said happily: "When I got to the house, my dad was worried that no one would drink with him."
"Oh! Xia Jian is here." With a loud voice, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked out of the upper room. This person was Ma Yan's father Ma Dongshan. Xia Jian had seen him for more than ten years, but he could still recognize him.
"Happy New Year Uncle Ma!" Xia Jian took the initiative to greet him and shook hands with Ma Dongshan.
Ma Dongshan laughed and pulled Xia Jian into the upper room. Then he pulled Xia Jian and sat on the sofa. The two looked very intimate.
"Uncle Ma! I haven't seen you for many years, but you haven't changed much. You are much younger than your peers in the village!" Xia Jianzhi picked him and said to Ma Dongshan.
Ma Dongshan sighed and said, "It's hard to be a farmer! I'm young because I don't work hard. But a businessman like me is far inferior to you. I heard Ma Yan say that you do big business worth tens of millions of dollars."
"Hi! I also crossed the river by feeling the stones. I don't have much money in the company, and most of it was invested by others." Xia Jian said, and introduced Ma Dongshan lightly to his company.
Xia Jian came, and Ma Yan was very happy. She made tea for Xia Jian and peeled apples for Xia Jian. She was so happy that she couldn't describe it.
Ma Dongshan was running outside and had a wide range of knowledge. People who do business can naturally speak. He sat with Xia Jian and was so happy to chat. It was a bit difficult for Ma Yan, who was sitting next to him to get in with a word.
After a while, Ma Yan's mother's hot and cold dishes were served on the table, so drinking was naturally indispensable. Xia Jian knew that he could not hide, so he did not refuse and took the initiative to pour the wine and drink with Ma Dongshan.
Ma Yan's mother didn't drink, and sat next to her and kept calling Xia Jian. Her eyes never left Xia Jian's body, and she looked very carefully. Of course, Xia Jian also understood what she meant, so he didn't care.
Apart from being talkative, Ma Dongshan's alcohol content was not ordinary. After a while, the three of them saw two bottles of white wine. Ma Yan drank less, and the rest went into Xia Jian and Ma Dongshan's stomachs.
"Xia Jian! You are a capable young man. In Xiping Village and even the entire Pingyang Town, you can be considered a person who is just right. Although I am running outside, I know everything at home. With the fact that I am not drunk yet, I have to say something to you with my heart."
Ma Dongshan was happy when he reached out and blocked Xia Jian's neck, as if he was talking between friends.
"Uncle Ma! What do you say, even if you say it." Xia Jian knew in his heart, and knew what the result would be if he drank it further, so he wanted to end it as soon as possible.
Ma Dongshan smiled and said, "I am just such a precious daughter, and I really can't bear to hand it over to others. I know that you are a person who does big things outside, and you know all beautiful and capable women. But uncle tells you that the one who suits you the most is Ma Yan."
"Dad! What are you talking nonsense? You say this as if I can't get married." Ma Yan, who was standing beside her, was anxious, and she said shyly.
Ma Dongshan laughed and said, "What's wrong? Are you embarrassed? You just suffer a loss because you don't take the initiative. If you like Xia Jian, be bold. I believe Xia Jian is not a fool."
Having said that at this point, Xia Jian really has no way out. His parents are so proactive. If he doesn't express his opinion, he may not be able to overcome this hurdle tonight.
Xia Jian let out a long sigh and said, "Uncle! You said it well. Ma Yan is a great girl. I am afraid that I will not be worthy of Ma Yan. If I let her down in the future, wouldn't I even be sorry for Uncle?"
"Okay. Let's talk too much, and the matter between you and Ma Yan is settled. From the moment you came back to drink last night, I have decided on you, because my Ma Yan has the final say." Ma Dongshan interrupted Xia Jian's words and said the key points in two sentences.
It was not until this moment that Xia Jian learned how powerful Ma Dongshan was. He spoke without revealing his words, and it sounded like he was joking, but at a critical moment, a word could hit your vital points and leave you speechless.
What does it mean when you came back to drink last night? This is clearly a warning to Xia Jian that you have fallen asleep with my girl, do you still want to refuse?
In fact, Xia Jian had already thought about this on the way to come, because the moment he opened his eyes this morning, he realized that his affairs with Ma Yan must have come down. Because Ma Yan is different from any woman he had been with before, he has to take responsibility.
Ma Yan's mother, who had never spoken, coughed dryly at this time and said, "Xia Jian! They all said you are very capable, but I don't think so. Can people without ability stop eating? You are several years older than my Ma Yan? In my case, you are not worthy of my Ma Yan."
Ma Yan's mother's words not only surprised Xia Jian, but even Ma Yan and her father were shocked by Ma Yan's mother's words.
However, Xia Jian's reaction was very fast. Ma Yan's mother spoke like this because he had not made any statement for a long time. Someone who drove a woman to get married, let alone Ma Yan is so outstanding. He is talented in terms of talent and looks good. The reason why Ma Yan's mother said this was that she was looking for a way out for Ma Dongshan.
Xia Jianma, who understood, smiled and said, "Auntie said it very correctly. I'm a little sorry that Ma Yan treats me well. Let's do it! I want to have a good conversation with Ma Yan again. If there is no objection between us, I will let my parents come to your house to propose marriage."
"Okay! I agree with your statement. If you want to talk, go to the West House to discuss now. We will wait for your results." Ma Dongshan said, and patted Xia Jian's shoulder twice.
When he arrived at Ma Yan's room, Xia Jian lay on the sofa and wanted to sleep. He felt sleepy and his eyelids could hardly be able to stretch out.
"Don't sleep, what are you talking about? Tell me!" Ma Yan pushed Xia Jian and said seriously.
Xia Jian smiled and said, "I'm making a cup of tea, and I'm so angry, how can I talk?" Before speaking, Xia Jian wanted to revitalize the atmosphere first, otherwise it would be too depressing.
"You have the most things to do," Ma Yan said, then went to make a cup of tea for Xia Jian and brought it over.
Xia Jian sat upright, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ma Yan! We must make some of the things we both have to explain clearly tonight. I don't think there is anything to talk about before, just turn it all over. But you don't know me, Xia Jian. Do you know my circle? Can you accept it?"
"Yes! I, Ma Yan, married you, Xia Jian. As long as you are kind to me, I will be satisfied. It is said that you, Xia Jian, are romantic, and there are women around you. I have thought about it, I will not interfere with your **. But I believe you know what to do."
Ma Yan's answers were neat and without any delay. What she said seemed to have thought about it in advance, so that Xia Jian could not find any fault.
Xia Jian let out a long sigh, stood up and said, "Let's go! Let's tell your parents that our affairs have been settled."
Ma Dongshan seemed confident. Xia Jiangang said their decision, and he laughed and said, "Since you have agreed, we are parents, and we have no objection. Let your parents come over and sit down, so we will be spared from the engagement. We will talk about the time of marriage directly."
Xia Jian glanced at Ma Yan, and Ma Yan nodded silently. Xia Jian smiled and said to Ma Dongshan: "Are you sorry for your family?"
"Okay, why do you do these messy things? I know your family has money, but I, Ma Dongshan, are not short of money. We are just this daughter, and all of them are yours in the future. Is it interesting to use them all?" Ma Dongshan said very readily.
