"What are the rules for this engagement party?"
In the hotel, the uncle, who was a little depressed about having to drink less alcohol from now on, started scratching his head again.
"Didn't I say that they follow their rules here, and we follow our rules over there." The aunt turned over and was too lazy to talk to her husband.
It was just one night without drinking, and I was so noisy that I felt like ants were crawling all over my body. I couldn't sleep well, and I was tossing and turning.
"Trouble, it's better to just get married." The uncle couldn't help scratching his mouth with his hand. He drank a little every night and fell asleep slowly. He didn't drink today and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he turned over.
"Just get married and not get engaged?" The aunt snorted. She probably didn't want to talk to her husband, but she was also concerned about what the other party said, so she couldn't help but reply.
"Hey...it's all about something."
"Why don't you be allowed to drink? It won't be a good thing for your son to get married?" The aunt suddenly stood up and stared at her husband.
"Did I mean that? I just think it's too much trouble to go back and forth."
"Are you afraid of trouble? You just want to drink. As long as you are allowed to drink, you will run faster than anyone else and will not mind trouble at all."
"Didn't I drink today?" The uncle turned over and covered his head with the quilt.
"It's nothing if you don't drink for a day. Don't drink anymore if you can! Also... sleep if you want to. If you don't want to sleep on the sofa outside, I still want to sleep if you don't."
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, who said I won't sleep anymore." The uncle responded angrily.
In the hotel, the uncle and aunt were talking about the engagement. After Dong Yao's family sent away the neighbor across the street, Dong Yao's parents were also considering this issue.
"What is the engagement process in their hometown?" Dong Yao's mother couldn't help but ask her daughter.
"How many times have you asked? Their weddings are solemn, and there is no big deal like engagement. Basically, it means that they are getting engaged, and the man starts to bow.
Then the girl's parents can have a meal with them, or they can invite a few relatives and friends to accompany them. The man's side does not invite guests to dinner when they are engaged.
It won't be a big event until you get married. Giving a gift is actually an engagement, and it's already considered a wedding. Because the ceremony is to agree on the wedding time, the ceremony will take place three days before, and then the wedding will take place.
Or, like Ajie and I, there are people who get engaged first and then get married after nothing happens. But they don't treat guests to dinner for such an engagement.
The daughter is given a gift, and then the wedding date is agreed upon. The man then comes and gives a big gift, and then the wedding is completed.
Just like on TV, an engagement party is held when you get engaged, and a wedding banquet is held when you get married. There is nothing like this in Ajie's hometown. In short, everything is kept simple during the engagement, and the wedding will be a grand event! "
"It's similar to ours." Dong Yao's mother said.
In fact, it’s not just Anhui and Yunnan provinces. Looking at ordinary families across the country, there is no mention of holding a banquet to receive gifts once they get engaged, and then having another banquet and receiving gifts from relatives and friends after the wedding.
Most of the time, it is simple when getting engaged and grand when getting married. Many people even get married without even a formal proposal ceremony.
"Then what kind of gift did they give when they got engaged?" Dong Yao's father asked, "What kind of gift do we give back here?"
"We don't need to return gifts, and they don't give any gifts. They just want to buy some gifts for you two. Buy me some clothes and a red box, or we can just buy wedding rings. Nothing else."
"Then let's keep it simple like this, and wait until the wedding to make it more lively and lively." Dong Yao's mother said.
In fact, after knowing the identity of Yang Dongjie's cousin, she felt a little nervous, and felt that such an engagement without much noise would be good.
What if there were some twists and turns before the wedding and you didn't get married? It wouldn't be too embarrassing if the news of the engagement is small, right?
If you really want to get married by then, it won't be too late no matter how exciting it is.
"What are the rules for getting married here? When we were eating, didn't we say that they follow their rules over there and we follow our rules here?"
"One Sword Dominates"
"Our family doesn't pay much attention to it, so just follow this. As long as they don't pay attention to it, it will be fine." Dong Yao's father said. He also thought that such a simple engagement was quite good. .
The only reason why I had to double-check with my wife was because I was worried about whether a family as wealthy as the Yang family was particular about something.
"You will know after getting along with him more. Although Ajie's family is rich and his cousin is so capable, in fact, their family still retains the simplicity of the countryside and does not have the ostentation you want from the rich.
So in the future, if you treat their family as an ordinary family, they will actually get along more harmoniously. What I said is true, their family really is not that particular. Basically, how ordinary people hold weddings, their families also hold weddings.
There is nothing like getting married abroad, getting married in a big hotel, or having a high-end wedding on an island. In short, it is how the people in their village get married, and how their family gets married.
At most, the more guests you have, the more money you can spend on gifts. As for the honeymoon after marriage, that is what happens between Ajie and I after we get married and does not involve anything else. "Dong Yao still has the confidence to say these words.
After all, I have been traveling with him for so long, and I can feel what kind of family tradition the Yang family is like from the relatives and elders of the Yang family.
To be honest, if you remove the luxury hotels and the round-trip chartered flights. When you meet the Yang family on the street, you feel no different from meeting other ordinary people.
The Yang family also bargains when shopping, eats discounted and soon-to-expiry food, and likes cheap and useful things.
There are no harsh requirements like those imagined by rich people who wear gold and silver, and even toilets are made of gold.
So as long as you get along with the Yang family with a normal attitude, you will get along very comfortably.
The identity of Yang Dongjie's cousin is displayed here. It is estimated that it will be difficult for his parents to adapt to getting along with the Yang family with a normal attitude for a while.
"Then that's fine. Don't call out to relatives and friends. Aren't they going to spend a few days in Kunming? You can accompany them around for the next two days.
Just watch the purchase of rings and other things, and find time to sit down and have a meal together. Even if the marriage is decided in advance. Then discuss the wedding date. "Dong Yao's father agreed.
"Then let's have dinner together tomorrow. Ajie's cousin is very busy. Let's discuss the wedding date at dinner tomorrow. Ajie and I can buy things anytime.
If that doesn't work, I can buy it after I go back to Yanjing. Anyway, even if I set a wedding date, I guess it will be until the end of the year or early next year. I have plenty of time and I will take my time to buy whatever I want. Dong Yao said.
"That's okay." Dong Yao's parents nodded.
Then rich people must have many things to do, and it is indeed not suitable to waste other people's time.
