The richest man starts from a street stall

Chapter 309 Planned Engagement
"Xiao Chen, you two are still in school, it's really not suitable for marriage during school, and you're not of legal age.

However, it is possible to get engaged in advance, and it is also possible to finalize the marriage.Xiao Chen, what do you think? "

After dinner, they finally talked about their marriage. Mentioning this point, it can be regarded as the parents agreeing to the junior's marriage.

In fact, Yuran's mother, Luo Xiaofeng, wanted them to get married sooner. She was really worried that such an excellent son-in-law would be snatched away. You know, there are many girls who are more beautiful and better than her daughter.

Asking this question also tests Chen Shi's views on marriage.

Not being tough, of course, is to respect Chen Shi's opinion. According to the custom, it is best to hold the wedding at the parents' home of both parties.

Chen Shi is inexperienced in this kind of question about the future mother-in-law, but he probably understands it in his heart, so he replied without thinking: "Auntie, of course, Yuran and I think the same way."

"Well, if there is no problem, then let's settle down like this, Lao Yu, do you have any problems?" Luo Xiaofeng turned to her husband.

"No problem, as long as Xiao Chen and the girl feel good about it." Yu Fei smiled back, he thought it was very casual, as long as the girl likes it.

Yu Ran held Chen Shi's arm, smiled sweetly, looked at his parents, and said: "I listen to Chen Shi, as long as he doesn't delay his work."

Chen Shi patted her hand to reassure her: "No matter how important work is, it's not as important as our affairs."

Luo Xiaofeng saw that her daughter was so protective of her boyfriend, so she didn't want to say anything, she was most afraid that her daughter would suffer.

There are a lot of things to prepare for an engagement, so it is better to let the elderly decide on this day to show respect.

Moreover, the older generation attaches great importance to auspicious days.

As for the custom of engagement, there are no mandatory requirements, just invite brothers, sisters and neighbors to have a meal and let everyone know about these things.

The woman didn't mention it, so of course Chen Shi didn't think it was unimportant. He was not short of money, so of course he had to do it well.After a few days, after the company's employees go to work, ask the purchasing department to help them prepare.

The family chatted for about an hour, and the elders felt that it was almost done, so they left one after another, trying to leave space for the two young people.

Chen Shi watched the elders leave, leaving him and Yuran alone, thinking about the more troublesome things tonight, he asked his girlfriend beside him in a low voice:
"Daughter-in-law, where should I sleep at night?"

"Where can I sleep, of course it's my room."

Chen Shi asked with a sly smile, "My mother agrees?"

Yu Ran poked Chen Shi's forehead with his index finger: "Well, are you stupid? You already asked about the date of engagement. However, you can't do bad things at night."

"What a bad thing, I haven't done it, how can that kind of thing be a bad thing, good things come in pairs."

"Bad guy, no, I'm afraid of making noise."

"Okay, I'm just kidding."

Chen Shi came to Yuran's boudoir, the room was simply decorated, the floor was covered with relatively cheap tiles, and the roof had no ceiling.

The layout of the room is relatively simple, the bed is not too big, 1.5 meters wide and [-] meters long, a simple double-plywood desk, a relatively simple wardrobe, and some miscellaneous boxes in the corner.

Yu Ran looked at Chen Shi looking at his room, knowing that his home was not as good as the villas in Rongcheng, he was a little embarrassed: "The house is very simple, you won't dislike it, right?"

Chen Shi shook his head, sat on the edge of the bed, and patted the wooden board with his hands: "Fool, what are you talking about, I was worse than this before I had no money, and now I have money, why don't I sleep in the dormitory for a while."

"Ok."

Yu Ran tidied up the quilt, remembered the car downstairs, and said, "By the way, you should bring up any valuables in your car."

The two went back downstairs together and packed their luggage.

Two cars, one white and one black, were parked side by side at the door, like a couple's car, really dazzling.

Chen Shi opened the carriage, and put some fireworks directly in the store. He was afraid of accidental sparks, so he isolated and sealed them with something. Fireworks will be set off during the Chinese New Year, so they cannot be moved into the house. Ran's boudoir.

There are four rooms on the second floor, and the one in the front row serves as the living room. The family of five plus Chen Shi sit in the living room watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating fruits and vegetables.

And Yuran's mother was looking through the calendar to choose the date of her daughter's engagement.She chose a lot of good days. As a teacher, she is not as superstitious as a traditional woman, so she has to find a Taoist priest to watch the day.

"Xiao Chen, how about getting engaged on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? It just so happens that you haven't started school yet."

"Yes, this day is just right, and the full moon is perfect, which means a happy marriage."

"Haha, you can really talk, you deserve to be a great writer."

"Auntie, you're too much of a prize. You're just picking up people's teeth."

"If you say that, then other writers are stealing, just like word thieves."

"Auntie is a language teacher, a language spiritual mentor, who really guides the healthy development of young people, teaches and educates people. I write novels just to make a little money, and I am criticized for misleading young people. It would be nice not to be scolded face to face."

"You have exaggerated the aunt. Students still learn by themselves, and the teacher is only assisting and guiding."

The two bragged to each other for a while, Yu Ran felt a little fake, too speechless.Yu Fei couldn't talk about his daughter-in-law, so he just kept silent.

It was the first time for Chen Shi to celebrate the New Year at someone else's house, and he felt a little restrained, but he chatted and got acquainted with the characters of the elders, so he let go a little bit. Leave no trace like the top ones.

At this time, looking at things and thinking about feelings, Chen Shi somewhat missed his parents in his previous life, and now he was watching the Spring Festival Gala like the Spring Festival in previous years.

To be honest, Chen Shi really doesn't like to watch the Spring Festival Gala. What's more, he enjoys the process of relaxing and chatting with his family. The Spring Festival Gala is more like a medium for everyone to get together, and they can find a common topic to talk about.

Staying up until [-]:[-] in the evening, approaching the New Year, Yuran's parents went to the first floor to burn incense and worship Buddha.

From the window on the second floor, you can see that fireworks have been set off in the town and the distant countryside, and the sound of bang bang can be heard from afar.

In villages or towns, setting off fireworks is also competitive. Over the years, the comparison has not been as serious as before. Fireworks worth tens or hundreds of yuan are burned out in a short time. Everyone feels it is a pity, and burning money can't be done like that.

Now to set off fireworks, just buy a few hundred yuan for a symbolic display of fireworks.
When Chen Shi came, he still asked someone to buy six bundles of 36-round cannons, which were called golden ten thousand taels, and the stars were shining brightly, filling the entire rear compartment.

Yuran likes to watch fireworks, but he has no courage to set them off. He is really afraid that they will blow up, so Chen Shi will be responsible for setting off the fireworks.

It was Yu Ran's father who was responsible for setting off firecrackers. A bundle of firecrackers known as "Thirty Thousand Cannons" was unfolded and placed on the flat ground in front of the shop. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and was about to light it.

Some neighbors have already lit firecrackers and fireworks, the sky is full of lingering white smoke, and the sound of firecrackers is crackling non-stop, noisy and lively.

Luo Xiaofeng roared, and waved to her husband: "His father, set off the firecrackers farther away, be careful to blow up the car."

"Okay, okay, I get it. A luxury car worth several million dollars will cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair a car. I can't afford it."

Yu Fei heard the sound and heard it clearly, glanced at the two cars in front of the door, and pulled the firecrackers that had been unfurled just a few meters away.

"It's okay, it won't be damaged by blowing up, this car is very thick. If uncle is happy, he can blow up the car, haha." Chen Shi stood aside and said with a smile.

Yu Fei patted Chen Shi, and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you really can't take this joke. Look at those neighbors who set off fireworks far away, because they are afraid that the two cars will be blown up."

"Xiao Chen, you light the fireworks first, I set off the firecrackers to burn faster."

"Ok!"

Chen Shi placed two bundles of fireworks on the street not far from the door, took the lit Buddhist incense and lit two torches one after another, jumped up and down, and ran to the gate of the shop shouting.

Yu Ran's family looked at this young man and thought it was too funny. This is not the boss of the group company, he is clearly a child.

On Yu Fei's side, when he saw Chen Shi running back, he quickly lit the firecrackers. As soon as he lit them, he heard a "whoosh" sound and the fire sparks lit up, and he threw them away leisurely.

Suddenly, the fireworks soared high into the sky, colorful, as if the whole world was immersed in the sound of festive fireworks.

Light one, and another rings, and the twin dragons bloom.

The night sky is like a colorful garden, the colorful fireworks are as dazzling as crystal stones, and the colorful fireworks are as colorful as colorful silk.

The fireworks Chen Shi bought were really high-end, compared to those set off by other families in the town, it was really obvious.

The bunches of fireworks flew hundreds of meters into the sky, covered a radius of hundreds of meters, and lit up the entire town, which was really amazing.

Yuran's neighbors were really envious when they saw these fireworks.

"Our bundles cost tens of hundreds of dollars, and other people's fireworks cost hundreds of dollars a bundle. If you want to buy them, you may not find a way to buy them. It's really different if you have money."

"That's burning money. I heard it's Yu Ran's boyfriend. Those two cars, tsk tsk, are rich."

After Chen Shi finished putting down two bundles, he felt that it was quite interesting, so he took out the remaining four bundles and lit them all at once.

Fireworks are not allowed in the city, and I didn’t have the money to buy such good fireworks in my previous life. I spent at most a hundred yuan to buy fireworks during the Chinese New Year. Now that these fireworks are set off, I feel very happy, and I feel that I have made up for all my childhood regrets.

After the fireworks were set off, it was getting late at night, and everyone went back to their houses to get ready to rest.

That night, Chen Shi and Yu Ran slept in kimonos, and they didn't do anything small.

The next morning, facing a round of rising sun, the sky seemed to have been washed, a piece of blue, a pleasing color.

Chen Shi was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, and he really had enough sleep, so he got up to look at the scenery of the town.

In the early morning, the sky over the town was full of white smoke, which could not dissipate for a long time. This morning, I did not expect the sky to be so beautiful and free of smog.

No one asks about the poor and downtown, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

On the first day of the new year, this sentence came true.

The number of visitors to Yuran's house was several times higher than in previous years. Chen Shi didn't like socializing with these people very much. Besides, no relatives would come to visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Most of them were neighbors or people from the town, so they stayed at home. chat with the old man.

In the past two days, Chen Shi didn't plan to code words. He chatted with his elders, made dumplings, made some snacks, and played mahjong together.

When children come to visit, they will give red envelopes, and the money in the red envelopes is not much. For children who do not have a relationship with Yuran's family, that is, a red envelope of 100 yuan.

If the relationship is good, it is a red envelope of several hundred yuan per person.

If the uncle shouted well, he would give more red envelopes.

In some places, it is customary to give red envelopes to children who are not married; but in some places, as long as they are working, regardless of whether they are married or not, red envelopes are given as usual.

In some areas, red envelope money may be a lot of pressure on the family. The red envelope money that a family may send out during the New Year may range from a few thousand to over ten thousand.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Shi had originally planned to leave Yuran's house and return to Rongcheng. Four days was enough, and he was going back to Rongcheng to work.

Just as he was about to leave, he didn't know how the news spread. The leaders of the village and town came to the door in person, aiming at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi wouldn't even bother to step on someone of this level, but he lives at his girlfriend's house, and it's okay, and he's also at the door, so it's okay to see him, stop what he's doing, and go downstairs to meet him.
