Chapter 337 Chen Runping Proposes Marriage

"Yes, Uncle, Zhao Zhaodi has agreed to marry me!"

Chen Runping could not hide his joy and answered excitedly.

His face, filled with happiness, looked especially radiant in the sunlight.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Yuan nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then asked:

"Well, what are your specific plans for the future?"

His tone was calm and composed, revealing the elders' concern for the younger generation's marriage.

Chen Runping quickly replied:

"Uncle, that's exactly why I wanted to discuss this with you and Auntie first. After all, this is a major life event, and I hope to arrange everything properly so that everyone is happy and satisfied."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with sincerity and expectation.

"We will definitely respect your and Auntie's opinions, and we will do everything exactly according to your and Zhao Zhaodi's requirements. In short, as long as you are satisfied, that is the most important thing!"

Chen Runping reiterated his attitude, his words filled with respect for his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After listening to Chen Runping's words, Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment and then said:

"Well, we need to think about this more carefully. But since you're so interested, let's wait until we've considered it before making a decision."

Seeing that Zhao Yuan did not give a clear answer immediately, Chen Runping was not in a hurry, but instead asked:

"Uncle, if possible, I will bring my parents tomorrow morning to formally propose marriage. I wonder if this will be of any trouble to you? Would it be convenient for you to receive us?"

He carefully observed Zhao Yuan's expression, afraid that his abruptness would displease the other party.

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded in response:

"Yes, that's fine. You can come over tomorrow morning."

After receiving Zhao Yuan's affirmative reply, Chen Runping finally felt relieved. He thanked Zhao Yuan repeatedly, then happily got on his bicycle and sped home like a gust of wind.

The wheels rolled forward, as if carrying his heart full of joy and anticipation.

Back home, Chen Runping happily shared the good news of his successful marriage proposal to Zhao Zhaodi with his parents.

His excitement was palpable, as if the whole world was filled with happiness.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, waking Chen Runping and his family from their slumber.

They carefully prepared gifts and, filled with anticipation, embarked on their journey to the Zhao family's home.

Along the way, Chen Runping was as happy as a bird, eager to see Zhao Zhaodi and her family.

When they finally arrived at the Zhao family's house, the two families greeted each other with warm smiles, creating a harmonious and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Chen Runping's parents made no attempt to hide their joy and excitement, sincerely expressing their deep affection for Zhao Zhaodi and demonstrating the Chen family's sincere desire to welcome their son's wife.

However, although Mr. and Mrs. Zhaoyuan approved of Chen Runping, they still had some concerns.

They inquired with concern about a series of practical issues concerning their marriage, the most prominent of which were housing and the possibility of living apart.

After all, these are all important factors that affect the quality of life of our children in the future.

Faced with the doubts of Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, Chen Runping's father quickly responded:

"Don't worry, in-laws, the house we currently live in is a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, which was allocated to us by my work unit."

Now that our children are getting married and starting their own families, we are willing to temporarily vacate this house as a cozy marital home for the young couple.

As for us, the two of us, we can move back to his grandmother's place for a while.

Moreover, they won't be returning to settle down permanently for the time being, because Zhao Zhaodi is still studying abroad.

Once Zhao Di graduates and returns to China, they will purchase a brand new property based on Chen Runping and Zhao Zhao Di's work locations.

This way, we can not only solve their immediate problem but also provide better security for their future lives.

Upon hearing this, Chen Runping added:

"Yes, uncles and aunts, please believe me that I will work hard and strive to make Zhaodi live a stable and comfortable life as soon as possible."

Even when we are separated by distance, our hearts will remain closely connected, and we will maintain close contact through phone calls and letters.

When the time is right, everything will get better and better!

"Uncle, Aunt, please allow me to share some thoughts on the important issue of long-distance separation that we have been paying close attention to."

While Zhaodi is studying abroad with peace of mind, I plan to stay in the military to further my studies and continuously improve my abilities and qualities.

When Zhaodi returns to China after completing her studies and starts working, if I am assigned to a military unit in Beijing so that we don't have to live apart, I will naturally choose to stay in the military without hesitation and contribute my strength to the country and the people.

But if things don't go as planned and we end up living apart, please rest assured that I will definitely apply for demobilization and return to my hometown. I will never let Zhaodi suffer the pain of longing alone, nor will I let our relationship be strained by distance.

In short, I will do everything in my power to ensure that we don't live apart for an extended period of time.

Chen Runping earnestly expressed his deepest thoughts and determination to Zhao Yuan and his wife. His firm gaze and sincere tone were truly moving.

Zhao Yuan and Lin Fangfang were very satisfied and gratified by Chen Runping's sincere and responsible attitude.

Next, both sets of parents seized the opportunity to further discuss the specifics of the wedding, including the date, scale, and other key aspects.

During this time, Mr. Chen spoke first and asked:

"My dear in-laws, I especially hope to hear your opinions on important matters such as the bride price and the entire wedding ceremony."

After all, this is one of the most important moments in the children's lives, so whatever reasonable requests or expectations you make, our whole family will do our best to meet them.

To be honest, my wife and I are absolutely delighted with Zhao Zhaodi, our wonderful daughter-in-law choice. We're completely satisfied and delighted with her!

Hearing Mr. Chen's heartfelt words, Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded in response, then said:

"Well, Xiao Chen, actually, I had already thought about this big issue of housing for Zhao Di a long time ago."

Not far from here, I specially prepared a courtyard house for her in advance.
