The family all had new clothes and three bicycles were filled with gifts. Originally, the old lady thought of giving Sun Juan a separate gift, but later He Xiaotian felt that this was not good, so he bought several more gifts from the supply and marketing cooperative at the door, and gave them to Sun Juan's two younger brothers respectively.
Yan Fugui looked really greedy, these gifts alone cost a lot of money. After the He family left, Yan Fugui also urged Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li. Today was the day for them to return home.
"Dad! Don't be in a hurry. You have to wait for the marriage to be finalized, right?"
"Yes, yes! Then you can leave later."
When the family arrived at Director Sun's house, Director Sun was already ready. I saw that the entire He family was out in force, and there were a lot of gifts prepared. "It seems that the He family attaches great importance to Juanzi! From now on, Juanzi will have someone to rely on!"
The Sun family also invited Qian Changyou, the steward of their courtyard, today.
"Brothers and sisters of the Sun family, what do your family think? How much is the bride price? When are you going to get married? How can I talk to them?" Qian Changyou is a very upright person. When he came, he heard that it was for Sun Juan's marriage. Without saying anything, he started to worry about the Sun family.
"Uncle Qian, my family is not buying a daughter. The bride price can be given by others. As for the time of marriage, it depends on what others say."
"How is this okay? No matter what happens in our family, we must have an explanation. Juanzi, tell us."
"Uncle Qian, we don't need to think about these things. You also know my request. They have agreed to my request, so we can't ask for anything more."
Qian Changyou thought for a while and said, "Although I say this, we can't be underestimated, right? You are a good boy. Whoever you marry will be the blessing of that family! I will take care of the bride price and wedding date." .”
The arrival of the He family shocked Qian Changyou. Whose family had so many people come to propose marriage? Who brings so many gifts to their marriage proposal?
Director Sun and Qian Changyou are also old acquaintances. They introduced each other to the Sun family, Qian Changyou and the He family, "Brother Qian, younger brother and sister. This is Sha Zhu's godmother, the deaf old lady, and this is Sha Zhu's brother-in-law, He Xiaotian. This is Shazhu's aunt Liu Xia, this is Shazhu's sister He Yuzhu, this is Shazhu He Yuzhu. This is Sun Juan's mother, and this is Qian Changyou, the steward of their courtyard. This is Sun Juan His eldest brother Sun Youcai and his younger brother Sun Kangmei."
The old lady smiled and handed the gift to her grandson's mother, "Eldest niece, my Zhuzhu has fallen in love with your daughter. Our family has asked our grandson to propose marriage. Please accept some gifts."
Grandma also knew that the whole family was here, so she must have valued her daughter, and she felt even happier. "Old lady, please sit at home!"
Everyone entered Sun's house. Because it was an inverted house, there was little sunlight and it looked much darker. "The house is simple and neglected."
Silly Zhu handed the gift in his hand to Sun Juan, "Juanzi, I don't know what you like, so I bought some at random."
"Thank you!" Since they had already discussed marriage, Sun Juan accepted the gift.
"These are for you two." Shazhu took the gifts from Liu Xia and Yuyu and handed them to Sun Youcai and Sun Kangmei.
"Thank you!" Today, Sun Youcai lost his temper when he saw that the Shazhu family valued his sister so much.
"Okay, okay! Everyone, please sit down!" Director Sun asked everyone to sit down and chat.
He Xiaotian basically didn't speak today. He didn't understand the rules of marriage proposal very well and was afraid of saying the wrong thing. I made an agreement with the old lady at home and left everything to the old lady. Of course, some things had been discussed, and He Xiaotian also told Director Sun on the way.
After chatting for a while, Qian Changyou asked He Xiaotian. "Xiao He, look how much do you plan to pay for this gift?"
"Brother Qian, don't ask, let me tell you. Shazhu is going to give you 60 yuan as a gift. As for the wedding date, how about New Year's Day?"
Qian Changyou felt useless today. How should I put it? Everything he thought of had already been considered by others. To be honest, if every family was like the He family, this marriage would be too easy to talk about.
Nowadays, the common betrothal gift is about thirty yuan, but people took the initiative to double it. This wedding date is also well thought out. Everyone has a holiday for New Year's Day, and there are still two months until New Year's Day, so both families can make good preparations.
It was almost time for dinner, so Sun Juan went to the kitchen to cook. He Xiaotian kicked He Yuzhu and motioned for him to help too.
"How can guests cook? This is inappropriate."
"Brother Qian, Shazhu is the cook. Now we are considered a family, so there is no need to say that."
Silly Zhu and Sun Juan were chatting and cooking outside.
It's lively here, but the Yu family is deserted. "Why haven't you come yet?" Yu's mother was a little anxious, and Yu's father also frowned.
Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li came. They saw Yan Jiecheng's deserted home and asked, "Where are the people from the He family?"
It's okay not to ask, but this question will stir up a hornet's nest.
"Yan Jiecheng, did you see Si Zhu come out?"
"Yes, a big family came out with a lot of gifts. We even waited for a while before coming. Why didn't we see them? Where are they?" Yan Jiecheng waited until almost dinner time before coming with Yu Li.
"You asked us, why should we ask you? You said Shazhu came to propose marriage? Where is the person?" Mother Yu asked Yan Jiecheng.
"This..." Yan Jiecheng was also confused. "I saw all the He family members in action this morning, even the deaf old lady was following. Why didn't you come to Yu's house now? Didn't you come to Yu's house to propose marriage?" Yan Jiecheng's face turned bad when he thought of this.
"Jie Cheng, have you figured out whose house Sha Zhu is going to propose marriage to?" Yu Li also had a bad guess.
"My dad told me yesterday that Silly Zhu was coming to propose marriage today." Yan Jiecheng directly blamed it, but in fact it was Yan Fugui who said it.
"Yes! It's probably a misunderstanding! Yesterday at the banquet, Haitang told Shazhu's sister that she wanted to marry Shazhu. I guess my father-in-law misunderstood!" Yu Li guessed.
"It should be like this." After Yu Li's explanation, Yan Jie immediately agreed.
This made everyone in the Yu family very angry. You just made a fuss and got over it? There was news in the Yu family yesterday. Someone came to propose marriage today, and he was a third-level cook, and his salary was more than sixty yuan a month! Now that no one has come, the Yu family has lost all face!
Yan Jiecheng was scolded like crazy, but Yu Li was his own daughter, so it was not easy to scold him, but Yan Jiecheng, the new uncle, had no problems.
Yu Haitang was so angry that she cried, and even hated the rain in her heart.
Today is the day when Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li return home. Although Yan Jiecheng couldn't hold his head up due to the scolding, he still treated them to dinner. Of course, the dishes on this table are much different.
