Everyone took their seats.
Xu Cheng didn't waste any time and handed the gift list directly to the Ming family.
Su Jianguo and Xu Wei watched Zhou Feng take the gift list and stared at him to open it, always observing his reaction and preparing to act according to the opportunity.
Zhou Feng took a look at the betrothal gift list, with a normal expression on his face, and handed it to Ming Huaiyuan, "Brother-in-law, can you take a look at it?"
Ming Huaiyuan looked at it seriously and nodded happily, "Okay, I respect the opinions of the in-laws. The bride price is 80,000 yuan, and the girl's clothing cost is 80,000 yuan, a total of 160,000 yuan. They will be prepared at the engagement ceremony. Don't worry, the in-laws. What is the in-laws' position? If a famous teacher doesn’t take the opportunity to ask for sky-high betrothal gifts, his consciousness will be high.”
After speaking, both parties exchanged a few polite words, and the Ming family left.
Less than half an hour before and after.
Su Jianguo and Xu Wei didn't react until they sent the person away.
No, the Ming family just agreed?
Is this the case with the bride price?
Will the Ming family stop resisting?
Zhou Fengke told Su Jianguo that he wanted the Xu family to be assured of the betrothal gift.
Things were progressing so fast that they had no chance at all.
Xu Cheng had some objections to them, but didn't say much. He settled on a few words about the engagement day and sent them away.
The two of them were dejected all the way.
Xu Wei suddenly realized something and said angrily:
"Second brother-in-law, the Ming family's reaction is wrong. It seems that they already know the amount of the gift that the eldest brother wants, and are mentally prepared for it. Oh, I know, there must be a traitor here, and the Ming family has been tipped off early. Second brother-in-law , do you think what I said is right?"
Su Jianguo rolled his eyes and laughed, "How is this possible? Impossible. The reaction of the Ming family is not surprising at all. If the woman wants less gifts, which man would be unhappy? They didn't say anything. It's normal, normal , normal. Haha, just now the elder brother said..."
He quickly changed the topic so that no one would know that it was him who reported the letter.
I also thought that I had told the Ming family long ago that the Ming family would want to recruit him. Who would have expected that the Ming family would enjoy the success.
Also, what man wouldn’t be happy if he spent less money to marry a wife?
There is only one and a half days left before the engagement day. Everything is ready, except for the two newlyweds to try on the wedding dresses.
Hua Yue and Hua Yun spent the entire afternoon choosing with them. They had three sets to order, but they were not particularly satisfied with any of them.
Octavia's dresses are similar and easy to choose, which is mainly Xu Zhiyi's trouble.
Women's dresses are mostly Western-style, mainly white, and mostly have large straps and backless styles. Xu Zhiyi looks good in them, but she is not used to it, and she doesn't like to wear white at engagement parties. She looks a little awkward when walking around. uneasy.
There were also Chinese-style ones, but she thought the styles were too formal, the decorations were too complicated, and they were all in different shades of red, making them more like wedding dresses.
After trying it all afternoon, I'm tired. I'll continue tomorrow.
Ming and Xu's family made an appointment to have dinner together today, and the four of them went directly to the Little Red Mansion.
Xu Cheng didn't call the rest of the Xu family, just his family of four.
He thought about barking all the time, or not barking at all. He had many sisters, so he simply stopped barking. Everyone's voice was loud and chattering, which was too noisy.
His parents just came to his house yesterday and had a scene, so let's forget it and don't bring trouble to ourselves.
Let’s meet on the engagement day.
Everyone from the Ming family came, plus Hua Yue, who was considered a matchmaker.
Feng Xiaoyu and Ming Liang met Xu Zhiyi for the first time. As soon as they saw her, Feng Xiaoyu took her hand and looked at her again and again. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. The wrinkles on his face were twisted into flowers when he smiled, and he asked her many questions. , and then put her back to Octavia.
Mingrui saw that her palms were sweaty, so he took her hand, wiped her sweat away, handed her a glass of warm water, looked at her, and said with a smile:
"Zhiyi, don't be nervous, my grandparents are very easy to get along with."
Xu Zhiyi instinctively leaned towards him, smiled and nodded.
How could you not be nervous?
She is about to leave the home where she has lived for nearly 26 years, without any transition or adaptation, to live in a strange family.
In this strange family, the only thing she can rely on is the man in front of her who wants to marry her.
This man is her only link with this strange family.
Will he be nice to her? When encountering family conflicts, will you turn to her and protect her?
She felt uneasy inside.
Xu Zhian was the last one to arrive, and he rushed over as soon as he got off work.
As soon as he entered the box door, everyone's eyes naturally focused on him.
When Feng Xiaoyu saw him, she also liked him. She waved her hand and asked him to sit next to her. She smiled kindly and praised him:
"Oh, look at this guy. He's really good-looking. He's tall, has big eyes, a high nose, and a strong body. He's a handsome guy. Come on, grandma will give you a big red envelope when she sees you for the first time."
With that said, she gave Xu Zhian a red envelope.
"Thank you grandma."
Xu Zhian looked surprised, took the red envelope and weighed it, oh, there are quite a few.
He didn't hesitate, he opened the red envelope generously in front of everyone, and when he saw the thick stack of hundred-dollar bills inside, which amounted to tens of thousands at least, he showed a cute little money-loving expression and shouted happily:
"Grandma, there are so many. I have made a fortune. Grandma, grandma, do you still lack a grandson in your family? I will be your grandson."
Feng Xiaoyu was amused, touched his head, and burst into laughter, "Hahaha, this kid is really cute. Okay, from today on, you are grandma's grandson. From now on, grandma will give you everything during the holidays." Big red envelope.”
"Thank you grandma, grandma, you are so kind, you will definitely live a long life."
"Look at this sweet little mouth, grandma is really rare."
Everyone also laughed, and the atmosphere in the box became warm.
Mingrui introduced him to everyone in his family one by one. When he introduced Hua Yun, Xu Zhian said, "Hello, sister." When he introduced Hua Yue, Xu Zhian said with a smile, "Hello, sister."
Hua Yun quit, "Huh? Brother, you are being unkind. I am the elder sister. When it comes to you, Sister Hua Yue, you will become the 'little sister'. If you treat her differently, everyone will mistakenly think that you are flirting." Where is your sister Hua Yue?"
Hua Yue took the opportunity to get angry, "Yes, brother, I think so too, are you teasing my sister?"
Xu Zhian said mischievously: "We, the post-00s generation, all call people like this. The younger ones are called elder sisters, and the older ones are called younger sisters. There is no distinction between them. Everyone is treated equally with a bowl of water. Maybe there is a generation gap between us, so you misunderstood ."
The two of them spat at the same time: "Hey, you little brat, you're pretty good at talking."
Everyone laughed at their bickering.
Hua Yun smiled casually and asked, "Brother, what do you do?"
Xu Zhian said generously: "I work in a funeral parlor."
Hua Yun was slightly stunned, "Oh..."
The elders of Ming Dynasty looked at each other with subtle expressions on their faces.
Xu Zhian pursed his lips, as if he was used to it.
Soon, someone changed the topic and everyone started chatting happily again.
The dinner was very enjoyable overall and everyone left happily.
Octavia sent Xu Zhiyi and his family home. In the car, Xu Zhian didn't say a word.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Zhiyi saw his mood change and thought to tease him, "Xiao An, come on, let me show you something exciting."
Xu Zhian pouted, lacking interest, "What can be more exciting than seeing dead people every day?"
"Oh, don't talk nonsense about dead people. Just be good and come with me."
Xu Zhiyi pulled him to his room. After a while, screams came from the room.
