Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

When the Li family arrived, everyone in the Su family warmly welcomed them. The in-laws met with each other, exchanged pleasantries, and then sat down.

As a matchmaker, Li Yuexiu had to speak first.

Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and me, entrusted by Lao Li and his wife, to be a matchmaker for the two children.

These two children are engaged today, so we don't need to talk about those foolish things.

This is the engagement wedding prepared by the Li family. Let's take a look. If you think there is something missing, feel free to mention it. We can talk about it.

Li Yuexiu was an open-minded person, straight to the point, and put all the things prepared by the Li family on the table.

Four bottles of wine, a loin with four ribs, four sticks of vermicelli tied with red strings, and four boxes of dim sum.

This is an engagement wedding that has recently become popular in Songjianghe. These four ceremonies alone cost a lot of money.

After the engagement, the woman keeps half of the four gifts, and the man has to bring the other half back.

There are also some people who are reluctant to spend so much money, so they simply prepare half of it, so that they don't have to bring it back when the time comes.

The Li family is not short of money, and it's also for the sake of looking good. They all make up for double shares, and just wait to take one back home.

In addition to the four essential gifts for engagement, the Li family also prepared a set of clothes, a pair of leather shoes, a watch, and two catties of wool for Su Anfang, and also gave Su Anfang a bride price of 160 yuan.

These days, it is definitely a high standard. For ordinary people, it would be good if they can make a set of clothes for them and buy them a pair of shoes.

If the conditions are better, adding a watch will be enough.

How can I hear that there are betrothal gifts? Anyway, there has never been one in Daying Village.

When Su Anying and Su Anzhen got engaged, there was no mention of a bride price.

These things plus the dowry were placed on the table, inside and outside of Su's house, even those people lying outside the window and looking in at the door, were all stunned and dumbfounded.

My God, with so many things and money, how much do you get in total? Not three or four hundred?

No wonder people say that it is good to be a worker, and that the workers who participate in the factory are rich, which is really amazing.

You just say, there is a family in our village, which young man is engaged and can come up with these things?

No wonder the old Su's family wanted to send their daughter to Donggang instead of looking for it in our village. Look, let them scoop it up, right?

Some people were too envious, so they discussed in a low voice at the door of Su's house.

That's right, who is as smart as the old Su family couple?

At that time, the second girl married pretty well, but now you see, they all follow suit, right?

Whoops, why don't we have such a good son-in-law in our house?

This talk is even more sour, there is no way, it is too greedy, who would not be jealous after seeing it?

What is said outside, in fact, can be heard inside the house.

Su Weizhong was happy, and he didn't want to argue with those people outside, so he could say whatever he liked.

In the past, these people secretly laughed at him for not having a son, and no one will take care of him in the future, but now everyone is envious?

Su Weizhong doesn't care, Su Weicheng is not happy, what is this for? All these outs one by one are not shameful enough.

Let the Li family see it, and they can't say that the people in the small village just don't know much? No fuss about anything. It's so embarrassing.

Well, our family has a happy event today, so we won't keep the big guy.

Another day, when the fifth child goes out, he must prepare a banquet and invite everyone to come and have a wedding wine.

Don't suffer from freezing outside in this cold weather, let's all go home, let's go home. Su Weicheng turned cold and went out to chase those people away.

They are all neighbors in the neighborhood, and they can't be too shameless no matter how they look down.

The Su family all came out, and they couldn't stay here any longer, so they all smiled and said a few words to Su Weicheng, then turned and left.

Su Weicheng watched those people leave, then snorted, and told his third child to watch outside and not let those irrelevant people come over.

Su Weicheng chased away those onlookers, and turned back to the house.

The room is very lively at the moment, Su Weizhong and Li Zheng, who is the eldest brother Li, are chatting very warmly.

Han's and Feng's chatted with Zhao Meijuan and Li Yuexiu as well.

Engagement is always at the woman's home, and the woman should prepare a sumptuous feast to entertain the man's family.

It happened that in the first lunar month, every household has delicious food. Su Weizhong knew that he would be engaged to his daughter after the next year, so he specially saved a lot of meat.

At the moment, Qin Meiling and the others are busy in the kitchen, frying and frying for a meal, cooking up several delicious dishes.

So a table was set up in the east room and the west room, and Su Anhua and Su Anyu led the children in the family to Su Weicheng's next door for dinner.

At the beginning of the banquet, Li Zongliang and Su Anfang had to toast to the matchmaker first, then toast to the parents of both parties and change their words.

Su Weizhong and his wife, and Li Zheng and his wife, also took out the red envelopes prepared in advance and gave them the change money.

At this time, the engagement ceremony is over, and then there is nothing else to do, it is time to eat and drink.

The Su family entertained them warmly and kept urging the Li family to drink and eat food. Su Weizhong and Su Weicheng accompanied Li Zheng to drink.

Li Zongliang was accompanied by Xu Shiyan and his brothers-in-law, Su Anbang and Su Anmin.

Everyone promoted cups, drank and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

There were several trains leaving for Songjiang River passing Xianren Bridge, and there was still a slow train in the afternoon, so the Li family was not in a hurry to leave.

The meal started at twelve o'clock and lasted until two o'clock. It was mainly men who drank, and women actually ate fast.

The men didn't drink less, and they were all a little confused in the end.

Li Zongliang looked at his watch, it was getting late, they had to go to the station quickly.

Eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, I really can't drink anymore, we inquired when we came, there is still a slow train at three o'clock in the afternoon.

It's getting late, we have to go back quickly, or we won't catch the train.

Hey, if you can't make it, then you can't make it. If you can't make it, you can stay and live here. What are you afraid of? Sui Hongzhi's tongue was a little hard when he drank.

No, no, the two younger sisters are the housekeepers at home. If they don't go back at night, the two of them will cry in fright?

Li Zongliang hurriedly waved his hands, there is no such rule that he would live in his father-in-law's house on the day of engagement.

Over there, Da Lao Li also told Su Weizhong and Su Weicheng about the family situation, and they had to catch the train back.

Su Weizhong had to keep it for a while, but in the end he had no choice but to ask Mrs. Han to separate the four gifts and take half of them back to the Li family.

Su Anmin was young and hadn't had a few sips of wine, so he sent him to drive.

Sui Hongzhi and Xu Shiyan followed, and took the Li family to Xianrenqiao Station in a carriage.

Xu Shiyan had a better drinker and was quite sober. He went directly to the ticket window and bought four tickets for Da Lao Li.

Uncle Li, I have to stay here for a few more days, so I can't go back with you, so be careful on the way back.

When I go back, find time to invite Uncle Li to drink at home.

Oh, look at you, how can you buy a ticket for this? No, no. Big Old Li hurriedly refused.

Look, I've bought all the tickets, so why don't you let me refund them? There's not much money in total, so Uncle Li is being polite to me?

Xu Shiyan smiled, gave the ticket to Da Lao Li, and stayed with them for a while, until they called out to check the ticket, and then watched the four people check the ticket and enter the station.
