Integrity Pension System

In Zhang Xiaoran's yard, in the main room, the eldest sister Zhang Shufang and several uncles and uncles of Zhang Xiaoran were sitting, discussing the exact time of marriage with the woman's parents and elders.

The fifth wife, as a matchmaker, was on the sidelines, communicating the conversation between the two adults.

In Yunshui County, a betrothal gift is given at the time of engagement. Of course, the betrothal gift is negotiated at the time of the engagement. During the engagement banquet, the parents of both men and women sit together to discuss the date of their marriage.

"Xiaodong, what do you think is the best time for Xiaoran and Qianqian to get married? These are the few days I asked the master to help choose. They are all more suitable for talking about marriage. Let's see which day More appropriate?"

As the eldest sister, Zhang Shufang was Zhang Xiaoran's closest relative, and her parents were gone. As the man's representative, she discussed with Zhang Xiaodong and his wife about the marriage of Zhang Xiaoran and Zhang Qianqian.

Zhang Shufang was wearing a red cheongsam today, looking very elegant and dignified. After she handed the red paper suitable for the wedding day that she asked the master to write to Zhang Xiaodong and his wife, she said with a smile.

My own brother couldn't allow such a good girl to fall in love with him and was willing to marry him, so Zhang Shufang naturally wanted to arrange the marriage as soon as possible.

According to Zhang Shufang's thinking, it is best for Zhang Xiaoran and Zhang Qianqian to get married within this year, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

It was just that Zhang Xiaoran objected.

What Zhang Xiaoran meant was that Zhang Qianqian was only this year, and even if the marriage was arranged this year, she would still not be able to get a marriage certificate, and it was already the end of October, so she was in a hurry.

It's better to set the wedding date for next year. If you get married next year, you don't have to wait long to get a marriage certificate.

Anyway, after the engagement, Zhang Qianqian will be his wife, and she won't be able to run away.

Of course, this is what Zhang Xiaoran meant clearly, but in fact, Zhang Xiaoran has no money on him.

This engagement, the dowry, and the money for the banquet totaled nearly 40 yuan, and almost half of the money was paid by the elder sister.

Although his brother-in-law didn't say anything, Zhang Xiaoran kept this money in his heart, and when he got rich, he would definitely pay back the 30 yuan to his elder sister as soon as possible.

If the marriage is included in this year, it will cost another 10,000+. Zhang Xiaoran is under pressure to take it out for the time being, and then the elder sister will have to pay for it.

This is not what Zhang Xiaoran wants. Zhang Xiaoran doesn't want to rely on others, not even his own sister. He wants to use his own money to marry Zhang Qianqian.

But also to give her a beautiful wedding.

In order to chase a young girl, the factory boss Zhang Xiaoran used to work for spent 50 yuan to hire a professional planning company to use hundreds of drones to form various words and patterns of courtship in the night sky. The shocking scene, Zhang Xiaoran It's still fresh in my memory!

From the first time he saw Zhang Qianqian, Zhang Xiaoran admitted that he fell in love with this cute and beautiful girl.

She is a young girl in her prime, and she is willing to marry a half-loess man like herself. Zhang Xiaoran always feels that she owes her too much.

Zhang Xiaoran is willing to spend the rest of his life loving her so that she can live a happy, happy and carefree life...

Every woman dreams of having a marriage proposal that she will never forget.

Zhang Xiaoran didn't want Zhang Qianqian to watch other people's marriage proposals in the future, and it was a pity that her husband didn't give her a marriage proposal that touched her heart.

So Zhang Xiaoran decided to go fishing in the reservoir after the engagement banquet, earn more money, and strive to earn millions at the beginning of next year. At that time, he would also invite a professional planning team to plan a shocking marriage proposal ceremony for himself.

Give Zhang Qianqian a good memory that she will never forget for the rest of her life.

When you get married, invite a professional team to hold a Chinese-style wedding.

"Three letters and six ceremonies, Fengguanxiapei with ten miles of red makeup, the Ming matchmaker is marrying you with your surname, and I will be named Fengguanxiapei in my name. I promise you that you will never change in this life!"

Wu Guifang took the red paper with the happy wedding day written on it, glanced at it roughly, and after discussing a few words with Zhang Xiaodong symbolically, handed the red paper back to Zhang Shufang, saying: "Eldest sister, I will tell you to Qianqian." From Dad's point of view, the past few days have been pretty good, it's up to you to decide!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Shufang did not refuse. After taking back the red paper, she pointed to the first day and said, "Since this is the case, then this day will be fine. Let's set it on the ninth day of May after the Chinese New Year. This day is the best day." On a nice day, the weather is just right."

After discussing the days of Zhang Xiaoran and Zhang Qianqian, the engagement matter is actually over, and the rest is to entertain the guests and celebrate.

Because in addition to the banquet guests, the whole village, men, women and children were also entertained. There were nearly [-] people. Naturally, they took chartered cars to the hotel in batches.

These were all arranged by Zhang Xiaoran's uncles and cousins. Most of the villagers and some guests had already taken a chartered car to the Mengyao Hotel in the county.

Now there are only the close relatives and elders of both men and women in the yard.

"Look, this engagement banquet is very luxurious. It's the first time I've come to such a luxurious hotel. There are such big boxes, which can hold more than [-] tables of banquets. It's also the first time I've seen Yes." A villager looked at the exquisite decoration of the hotel curiously and said with emotion.

"That's because you don't know much about it. I've seen it on TV. The box for the state banquet is only this big, and it can hold dozens of tables. It costs a lot of money to book this box." The villagers nearby laughed said.

"I asked, and the village chief said that the minimum consumption for this box is 20 yuan!" A villager who knew the story excitedly said.

"How much?"

The villagers at the same table were frightened. The minimum consumption for this box is 20 yuan. Doesn’t it cost 1 yuan for each table of wine and food?What kind of delicacies are you eating? It costs so much money!

"That's right, but the village chief said that the average person has to spend 20 yuan to go to this big box. Zhang Xiaoran doesn't need it for the engagement banquet. Zhang Xiaoran knows the owner of the hotel, so he doesn't have to be restricted. fold it!"

"It's still Zhang Xiaoran who has the ability. Zhang Qianqian is really lucky to marry him."

"If you want me to tell you, Zhang Xiaodong and his wife are lucky to let his family catch up with such a good son-in-law!"

"Oh, if I knew Zhang Xiaoran was so capable, I should have let my little girl marry him back then. It was all because of those rumors in the village."

A village woman said regretfully.

It turned out that more than ten years ago, when Zhang Xiaoran's parents were still alive, they approached many families in the village to discuss their marriage, hoping that the other party would marry their daughter to Zhang Xiaoran.

It's just that at that time, the villagers didn't believe that Zhang Xiaoran was doing well in the big city and earning a lot of money. Many people even said that Zhang Xiaoran was just a wage earner in the big city, and he couldn't afford a house in the big city even if he earned a year. of a toilet.

What's more, those people in the village said everything well, and some people said that he had been to the factory where Zhang Xiaoran worked. It was a small factory, and he did all the tiring work and swear words, so he couldn't make much money.

Most importantly, Zhang Xiaoran's parents said that Zhang Xiaoran was doing well outside and earning a lot of money, but everyone didn't see it. It was rare to see Zhang Xiaoran return to the village a few times, and everyone asked him how he was doing outside and whether he made a lot of money. He's all hesitant...

That way, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who is doing well outside.

So naturally no one was willing to promise their daughter to Zhang Xiaoran, they all found various reasons to shirk it.

But looking back now, Zhang Xiaoran is really capable, and many people have regretted it.

Even the chef of the country can invite him to the village to cook noodles for him. The owner of the most luxurious hotel in the county knows him, and the bride price is more than 20...

When someone in the village got engaged, it wasn't the seven aunts and eight aunts who borrowed money to make up the gift money!

If there is no money and no ability, what does it mean to have money and ability! ? ? ?

"Regret it!"

"That's right, I really regret it. If I had agreed to this marriage back then, I would already be enjoying happiness now."

"Yeah, who doesn't want a rich and capable son-in-law!"

Before the banquet started, the villagers sat down and chatted, feeling that Zhang Xiaoran is capable, Zhang Xiaodong and his wife are blessed...

It didn't make everyone wait for too long. The engagement banquet started a quarter past eleven o'clock at noon, and the dishes were served by the waiters.

As today's protagonist, when Zhang Xiaoran and Zhang Qianqian were toasting table by table, some guests insisted on pulling Zhang Xiaoran's arm and refused to let him go.

Fortunately, I told the hotel waiter in advance that Zhang Xiaoran was poured that kind of low-alcohol liquor.

But this time around, Zhang Xiaoran also drank a catty of white wine, because Zhang Xiaoran's physical fitness has improved recently, and in the dormitory before, when he was bored alone, he would drink some white wine to relieve his worries, so the amount of alcohol was not bad.

Otherwise, if the catty of baijiu went down, he would have already fallen down.

Today is happy, even if Zhang Xiaoran is drunk, he is also happy.

"As expected of Moutai, it tastes mellow and has no stamina; it's not like other wines, which taste mellow but extremely spicy. Unlike this Moutai, it tastes like a drink!"

Zhang Tianfu sat on the table, sipping a small glass of Moutai that he was given, narrowed his comfortable eyes, and replied shaking his head.

As long as there are weddings and weddings in the village, it is necessary to ask him to be the village head, but even if the villagers are rich, they are reluctant to buy the 3000 yuan bottle of Moutai wine for weddings and weddings.

It was the first time for Zhang Tianfu to drink Moutai, and the feeling was really indescribable. Compared with this Moutai, what he drank before was like fake wine.

Unfortunately, there is only one bottle of Moutai and one bottle of Wuliangye for each table...

The others on the table naturally nodded vigorously.

This is not the fake Moutai and Wuliangye that cost more than ten yuan in the roadside shop, but the real Moutai and Wuliangye!

For these old villagers who have drank baijiu all their lives, they can taste whether the wine is good or not.

"Drink it well, this Moutai is good, Xiaodong, your daughter has promised a good family!" Zhang Xiaodong's uncle drank the most wine, and said drunkenly, holding Zhang Xiaodong's hand.

The more you drink, the more you talk...

"The man's party spent a lot of money on this engagement banquet. Your uncle is rich, rich. Xiaodong and your husband and wife are blessed..."

"You...your family owes me 5 yuan...is...is it...when should I pay it back..."

The uncle who has been talking drunk all the time, when he talked about Zhang Xiaodong owed his family money, he was very clear and fluent, which made Zhang Xiaodong smile wryly, and he didn't know if his uncle was really drunk, or if he pretended to be drunk and took the opportunity to say Speak from the heart.

Zhang Xiaodong couldn't argue with a drunk, so he could only say helplessly, "Repay, tomorrow I will pay back the money owed to uncle."

Sake celebrity noodles, money and silk touch people's hearts!

The gift money of 18 yuan from my uncle made many people tempted.

That's right, my family owes more than 30 yuan in foreign debt, and the bride price is only 18 yuan, which is really not enough to repay the debt. Some people are afraid that if they ask for money late, they will not be able to collect the owed money, and they can understand it.

When I go back, I will discuss it with Guifang, and use all the 18 dowry money to pay off the debt first!

In the past two years of economic downturn, everyone's life has been difficult, otherwise the uncle would not have asked for debts from himself while drunk on Qianqian's happy day.

And my second sister, Qianqian is more concerned about her engagement than his wife. In fact, Zhang Xiaodong can see that the second sister's family is also in urgent need of money, and they are also counting on this gift!

"Old man, what are you talking nonsense about? It doesn't matter what day it is today." Zhang Xiaodong's aunt said dissatisfiedly about her old man.

"Auntie, it's okay. Isn't this uncle drunk? It's been more than two years since I owed your family money. Before, there was nothing I could do if I had no money. Now that I have money, I will definitely return it to you first." Although Wu Guifang felt a little uncomfortable , still said with a smile.

Repaying debts is a matter of course, she has nothing to say.

But as Qianqian's uncle, can't he talk about this in private?Leng is deliberately pretending to be drunk and saying this at the engagement wedding banquet table, is it interesting?

Didn't you see the man's relatives and friends sitting at the banquet next to him?

"Today is Qianqian's big day, let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this..." Aunt Zhang Xiaodong said awkwardly.

Naturally, Zhang Xiaoran didn't know about this little episode, he was bringing Zhang Qianqian to toast at the table now!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the engagement banquet was over, and all the drunk people on the wine table arranged for someone to send them back.When leaving, everyone has a big bag of wedding candy and a box of lactic acid bacteria.

For those who return to Taoyuan Village, there will be a special car arranged by the hotel to send them back.

After all the guests left, Zhang Xiaoran's family and Zhang Qianqian's family took a breath of relief.

According to the rules, Zhang Xiaoran finally sent Zhang Qianqian's family back. On the way, Zhang Xiaoran and Zhang Qianqian flirted with each other, but Zhang Xiaodong and his wife noticed it, but they didn't say anything.

According to rural customs, after getting engaged, the daughter is almost regarded as the wife of the family.

To be honest, Zhang Xiaodong and his wife were very satisfied with the betrothal gifts given by Zhang Xiaoran's family today and the engagement banquet they arranged, making them look good in front of the villagers and relatives.

For Zhang Xiaoran, the son-in-law, Zhang Xiaodong and his wife are also very satisfied.

It's just that occasionally thinking about his age, and his seniority, made the couple a little guilty...

At the very least, I am too embarrassed to introduce Zhang Xiaoran as my uncle to others.
