Zhang Qian: "Engagement? Are you sure you want to marry yourself like this?"
Nursery Rhyme: "It's an engagement, not a marriage. You don't consider yourself married until you get married."
Zhang Qian: "Is it interesting to keep using words at this time?"
Tong Yaya: "Isn't this too sudden for you?"
In the evening, in Dong Yaola's group of three best friends, she told two of her best friends that she was getting engaged. Since it's such a big event as my best friend's engagement, it's really outrageous to not say anything about it.
Dong Yao: "It's a bit sudden. But now that the relationship is here, let's get engaged and get married. After procrastinating, I don't know where my mind went. It's good to get married and settle down."
Zhang Qian: "This is a bit unlike you. What kind of ecstasy did that Yang Dongjie give you? To make you marry him so easily."
Dong Yao: "It's not easy, the relationship is established. The parents of both parties have also met. There are no other problems. Besides getting engaged and getting married, what are you waiting for?"
Zhang Qian: "Both parents have met?"
Dong Yao: "Nonsense, how can we get engaged if our parents don't meet? Secretly, we can just get married directly. How can we get engaged?"
Zhang Qian: "It seems so!"
Tong Yaya: "What are the rules for your engagement? When will the engagement banquet be held and where will it be held? Please tell me the time in advance so that I can take time off as a gift."
Zhang Qian: "Yes, yes, when will the engagement banquet be held? I will go with the gift and get my share of the money back."
Dong Yao: "There is no engagement party!"
Zhang Qian:? ? ?
Tong Yaya:? ? ?
Dong Yao: "No kidding, there really is no engagement party. According to the rules in Ajie's hometown, everything is kept simple before getting married. The rules in my hometown are similar, so there is no need to worry about getting engaged. Do you want to pay one share of the money when you get engaged, and two shares of the money when you get married?"
Tong Yaya: "Just once, you want to take advantage of me twice? (Vicious expression)"
Zhang Qian: "Isn't it too casual if there is no engagement party?"
Dong Yao: "It's okay, my parents also think this is good. For an ordinary family like mine, it's not good to make a big fuss and do things without getting married, and to attract criticism."
Zhang Qian: "Your family is an ordinary family, but the Yang family is not, right? Does Ajie's family agree to this? (surprised expression)"
Zhang Qian didn't know exactly how rich the Yang family was, but the other family could spend millions to start a business for Yang Dongjie, who was still in school. This was obviously not an ordinary family.
Dong Yao: "Ajie's family is also quite low-key. They still live in the countryside. If the family is rich, they are already very eye-catching. Even if they hold an engagement party, some people will criticize them, right?"
Zhang Qian: "No, you are...I don't even know what to say."
Tong Yaya: "What else are you talking about? Blessings are enough. Besides, Dong Yao's parents have agreed. Let's just take one share of the money with peace of mind. Why do you still want to take two shares? (Vicious expression)"
Zhang Qian: "If you don't have money, just give me blessings and that's it! (Rose)"
Zhang Qian also felt that she was too entangled in this and that. The person involved has no objection, and neither do the parents. Speaking as an outsider, he seemed to be deliberately stirring up trouble.
Dong Yao: "Thank you sisters, my blessings have been received! Although there is no engagement party, but when I get to Yanjing, I will treat you to a good meal, so don't follow suit.
If you have nothing to do by then, I will take you to Ajie's hometown to play. They have a B&B with a nice view. "
Zhang Qian: "Yang Dongjie's home is in a tourist attraction?"
Dong Yao: "It's not the kind of tourist attractions like famous mountains and rivers you imagine. It's just rural scenery. His home is a Chinese medicine planting base, and some Chinese medicines bloom quite beautifully in autumn."
Tong Yaya: "Rural tourism?"
Zhang Qian: "And rural tourism?"
Although Zhang Qian is from the city and not from the countryside, people born in the 1980s of her generation are really not interested in the countryside. Because no one in this era has one or two rural relatives.
Even grandparents live in rural areas. When I was a child, my parents were busy with work and had no time to look after their children during the winter and summer vacations, so they sent their children to their hometown to be taken care of by their parents, relatives, or friends.
So rural life is really not that strange, so Zhang Qian was quite surprised that this was used as a tourist attraction.
"The Ronin Begins with Douluo"
Dong Yao: "Yes, it seems to be quite popular. Especially the generation of our grandparents have suffered hardships in the countryside before, and many of them have not been to the countryside for decades after taking root in the city, so for the rural I am still very keen on traveling.
I heard Ajie say that although their B&B has not been open for a long time, there are basically not many vacant B&B rooms. Many tourists simply rent B&Bs with separate courtyards and rent half an acre of land for themselves. Get a vegetable garden and live in the countryside. "
Zhang Qian: "You really have a selling point when you say that. What you said makes me want to eat the fruits and vegetables grown by my grandparents in the countryside. I just pick the cucumbers without washing them. I just pick a few handfuls and eat them. They are crispy. Very! (drooling)"
Dong Yao: "Then come over and play. If you want to farm, I will give you two acres of land! (smiling in sunglasses)"
Zhang Qian: "The boss lady is very grand. She is clearly promoted to a rich man. I will give you two acres of land!"
Dong Yao: "It must be done!"
Tong Yaya: "Wouldn't it be nice for us to come to your house to eat and drink when you're not married?"
Dong Yao: "It's okay. They also accept tourists there anyway. Just treat yourself as a tourist and ask me to reimburse you for your travel expenses!"
Tong Yaya: "The boss lady is awesome!"
Dong Yao: "That's right! (Proud in sunglasses)"
Zhang Qian: "You are getting engaged, have you said when you will get married?"
Dong Yao: "Either at the end of this year or at the beginning of next year. The time should be during Ajie's winter vacation. The specific date has not yet been decided!"
Zhang Qian: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. That Yang Dongjie is still a student, right? His parents agreed that he would get married so early?"
Tong Yaya: "Zhang Qian has no brains today. If his parents don't agree, will they agree to the engagement?"
Zhang Qian: "That's right. I'm sorry. I was suddenly hit by the news of Dong Yao's engagement today and my mind is a little confused."
Dong Yao: "It's okay. I forgive you! By the way, don't be jealous. His parents like me and want to get married right away. (Proud in sunglasses)"
Zhang Qian: "(hit the head with a hammer)!"
Tong Yaya: "(hit the head with a hammer)!"
After chatting with two best friends in the group, Dong Yao turned off her phone and lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Are engaged and married people really as happy as they appear in the group?
There didn't seem to be anything too happy, nor did I feel very happy.
I just feel like I have done everything I need to do in this relationship, and I don’t know what to do if I don’t get engaged and get married.
At the same time, she was still a little disappointed that there was no romantic proposal or a grand engagement ceremony that would make other girls envious.
But thinking about getting married to Yang Dongjie at the end of this year or early next year, I couldn't help but feel a little more settled. Maybe love, proposal, engagement, and even wedding ceremony are all different from the fairy tales you imagined.
But Dong Yao was certain that this marriage, which was different from her imagination, was the outcome she wanted!
