After the Lantern Festival, Cheng Qiao took his whole family back to the capital, not only to send Ye Jun back, but also to attend the engagement ceremony between Cheng Li and Wu Xiaolin.

It would be much more convenient for the two of them to have a legitimate relationship when they went out together, so both families unanimously decided to hold an engagement ceremony for them.

The engagement ceremony was very simple, only Cheng Qiao's family and Wu Hongxin's family were invited. Of course, Yao Peng and Ye's family also had to attend.

The engagement ceremony was very luxurious, because Cheng Qiao and Cheng Liguo came up carrying a huge mahogany box and opened it in front of everyone.

In an instant, everyone present was wide-eyed by the things in the box. Everyone knew that Cheng Qiao's biological mother, Zhao Min, was a famous capitalist lady back then, and she had countless good things.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case. The box is filled with rare and rare treasures. The first thing I took out was a painted gold-painted longevity clock for immortals.

Cheng Li held the birthday bell in both hands and walked towards Wu Hongxin, and respectfully presented the birthday gift:

"I wish Grandpa Wu Hongxin to live as long as the immortal pine trees in Nanshan Mountain and to be as blessed as the flowing water of the East China Sea."

It turns out that Wu Hongxin's eightieth birthday will be in a few days. Seeing such a beautiful gift, Wu Hongxin grinned happily and laughed.

Yao Peng beside him felt sour and rolled his eyes. He wanted to disgust Old Man Wu to see how proud he was:

"Oh my, your future grandson-in-law is really good. I even gave you a bell. Do you know this is for your end?"

Wu Hongxin's eyes flickered, a burst of anger burst out, and a pair of tiger eyes stared:

"You old guy, you don't know anything. Is this an ordinary clock? This is a birthday blessing bell from the immortals. It means that the immortals wish me immortality. Old guys who don't study only have some crazy ideas in their hearts."

Yao Peng rolled his eyes, but he felt really unhappy. His birthday was within a few days of Wu Hongxin's. The biggest difference was that he had no descendants.

Seeing Yao Peng's eyes dimming, Wu Hongxin suddenly felt uneasy and put the bell into Yao Peng's arms:

"This is my birthday gift to you."

"You give me."

"Yes, we two brothers have gone through so many years of ups and downs, and we can still play chess and drink tea every day. This is already a great blessing. There is no difference between you and me."

"But it's just an antique, given to you by your future grandson-in-law."

"I know. I believe Cheng Li won't blame me. Besides, I have several grandchildren. They won't miss me when the time comes. Don't worry."

Yao Peng turned blue, and he swore that if he were thirty years younger, he would marry a wife, raise ten or eight sons and daughters, and never have to be alone again.

Ye Chengying couldn't stand it any longer. He pulled Xiao Gui out, walked directly to Cheng Qiao, and said with a smile:

"Cheng Qiao, I have a wish that I hope you can help me realize. I want to marry my granddaughter to Li Ming."

Li Ming's eyes flashed with surprise. He liked Xiaogui's character, she was sunny and cheerful, and she didn't have the squeamishness of ordinary girls at all.

In his heart, Xiao Gui is more to his liking than his sister Xiao Nuan. Now Grandpa Ye actually marries Xiao Gui to him. What a great joy.

Cheng Qiao smiled slightly and turned to look at Li Ming: "What do you mean."

"Mom, I do."

Although Li Ming, who was only fifteen years old, still didn't understand what love was, he already knew what was suitable for him, so he agreed without hesitation.

Cheng Qiao looked at Xiaogui again: "Are you willing?"

"Auntie, I do."

Xiaogui is Xiaogui, there is no pretense at all, she agrees directly. He Fei blushes beside him. This silly girl can't even pretend to be shy. Hey, what should I do?

Looking at Ye Xiaolin, he saw that he was smiling so hard that his eyes could not see his teeth. It was his greatest wish in his life that his daughter could marry the Li family.

Li Ming walked to the mahogany box and took out a Yuan blue and white bowl tea set from it and handed it to Yao Peng:

"Grandpa, I know you regard Xiaogui's father as your son. As my future grandson-in-law, I also give you the same birthday gift. I wish Grandpa Yao to live as long as the evergreen pine trees in Nanshan Mountain and to be as blessed as the flowing water of the East China Sea."

Yao Peng was ecstatic, but he also had a brain. Li Ming just took things from Cheng Li's betrothal gift to honor himself, fearing that he would be scolded.

"You brat, how can you steal something from your brother's betrothal gift?"

"Grandpa, my mother gave each of our brothers a box. I've looked at it and found that I also have this exact tea set in my box. I'll return it to him when I get back."

"really."

"Second brother, tell Grandpa Yao if it's true."

Cheng Li nodded, and Yao Peng accepted the gift and handed the bell back to Wu Hongxin. Whoever wants your stinky bell will have his descendants to respect him.

Cheng Li watched the two old men competing, smiled slightly, and took out a pair of plum vases from the box. This was the most valuable antique in the betrothal gift he gave to Wu Xiaolin.

Wu Jiawei took it and looked at it, his eyes warmed, "Plum vase, such a precious antique, Cheng Li is really sincere."

"On behalf of the Wu family, I wish you, the young unmarried couple, to hold hands and grow old together. As for the pair of plum vases, I will find an opportunity to donate them to the country in the name of you, the young couple."

There was thunderous applause. Everyone applauded Wu Jiawei's selflessness, but Wu Xiaolin quietly closed the lid of the mahogany box and locked it.

There were also many gadgets that she and Cheng Li had carefully made over the years, as well as expensive jewelry and clothes given to her by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. If they were donated by her father, she would not be able to find a place to cry.

Wang Ling looked at her daughter's smooth movements and couldn't help but smile. The little girl finally knew what she had planned for her.

Wang Ling also walked out, holding a small wooden box in her hand and handed it to Cheng Li. This was her dowry for Wu Xiaolin. Cheng Li took it and opened it, and it turned out to be a bankbook.

Cheng Li directly handed the box to Wu Xiaolin. Since this girl was willing to stay with him for the rest of her life, she would be the one to make the decision in this family.

Cheng Li's action made everyone in the Wu family extremely satisfied. Wu Xiaolin's face turned red with embarrassment, but her heart felt very sweet. She understood that this was what Cheng Li meant by letting her take charge of the family.

After the engagement, the young couple went directly to the airport. Wu Jiawei and his wife reluctantly held the hands of their two children, telling them to be careful about their health and safety while abroad, and not to worry about finances.

Cheng Li smiled. He was studying abroad at his own expense, but he would definitely earn back the cost of studying abroad and living there, otherwise he would still be studying finance.

Wu Xiaolin shook her head repeatedly. Her parents gave her all their life savings as a dowry, and she still had two brothers.

"Mom and Dad, take care, don't worry about us, we are here to learn knowledge, and of course we must use the knowledge we have learned to create a future."

Cheng Li even hugged Mother Li and Cheng Qiao tightly, telling them to relax and wait for him and his father to come back, their whole family would definitely be reunited.
