Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

Marriage process:

Step one: sound out the situation, complete, and tick.

Step 2: Ask someone to act as a matchmaker, complete it, and tick it.

Step 7: Make a decision, tentatively scheduled for July 18, to be carried out.

Step 11: The wedding ceremony is tentatively scheduled for early November.

The fifth step: getting the marriage certificate and consummating the marriage is scheduled for the tenth day of the first lunar month in 72.

After finalizing the matchmaking, they walked out of the village chief's house with brisk steps. Under the moonlight, the guerrilla settlement in the valley seemed particularly quiet and peaceful.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan picked up a hollow bamboo basket and swung it back and forth.

I felt so relaxed and happy.

Then, as he walked, he sorted out the marriage process of his adopted son and asked System 003 to help record it.

After all, it was the first time in his life that, as a stepfather, he personally arranged his son's marriage.

For such a major event, the data must be retained.

Perhaps, the plot of the novel has not yet unfolded, and nothing happened along the way. Lieutenant General Jing Yuan returned home very smoothly.

Insects chirped and I had a dreamless night.

Early the next morning, as soon as the rooster crowed, Deng Yumei, who was worried about something, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she got up quickly.

After a simple wash, he said something to his eldest daughter-in-law who was cooking, and hurried out of the yard.

The matchmaker has to go early so as not to delay the morning work and miss the farm work.

Since both families are interested, the matter will be handled very easily.

Deng Yumei rushed to Aunt Guo's house, first grabbed Guo Caihe's hand and praised her.

Then he praised Jing Ping'an who was standing outside the courtyard gate.

Then he repeated Lieutenant General Jing Yuan's promise last night about smashing pots, crying at the grave, and wearing mourning clothes.

He kept giving thumbs up and praising the Jing family, saying that the Jing family was sincere and that Aunt Guo had found a good in-law.

His mouth opened and closed, and nice words came out as if they were free.

After drinking a bowl of brown sugar water to moisten her throat, she said goodbye with a smile on her face after receiving Aunt Guo's affirmative reply that she agreed to the marriage.

In the 1970s, food was very expensive, but there was no custom of inviting others to dinner.

Just get down to business and leave, focusing on simplicity and efficiency.

Ji Chunyu brought his granddaughter and politely sent Deng Yumei to the gate of the courtyard.

"Okay, Aunt Guo, just send it here. I'm not a stranger.

Go back and cook, you have to go to work after breakfast.

I have to leave quickly, or I’ll be in the eyes of the fans.”

Deng Yumei waved her hand, turned around and strode out of the courtyard.

"Hello, Auntie Village Chief!"

When Ping An saw someone coming out, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Hey, Ping An, you're so handsome.

I, your aunt, am waiting to attend your wedding banquet."

"Excuse me, Auntie. I will definitely invite you to sit at the main table then."

"That's great, okay, you guys chat. It's getting late, I have to go back for breakfast."

"Take care, auntie."

Jing Ping'an watched them walk away, then smiled and invited Grandma Guo and Caihe to his home for breakfast.

Ji Chunyu thought about it and decided not to refuse. She also wanted to have a good talk with Jing Yuan about the matter of Eighteen.

Smoke curls from the kitchen.

When the three men entered the room, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was chopping bamboo strips in the yard.

"Yuanzi, are you chopping bamboo strips?" Ji Chunyu was the first to speak and greet.

"Aunt Guo is here, Ping An, go in and bring out some stools.

Caihe, don't be polite, this is your home from now on. In my uncle's heart, you and Panpan are both my own daughters."

"Thank you, uncle. You and grandma go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the kitchen to help Panpan."

"Okay, go quickly, Panpan has been waiting for you."

Ping'an brought two stools, handed one to Grandma Guo and placed one near his father, then he happily slipped into the kitchen and went to receive the instructions.

"Yuanzi, don't be busy yet, let's talk about the things we have decided."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan quickly put down the work in his hands, moved a stool and sat near Aunt Guo.

"Aunt, this is what I planned. We should follow the trend in terms of betrothal gifts. If others have them, we have them too. We must not let anyone look down on Caihe.

Two pieces of red cloth, two chickens, two ducks, two pieces of pork, two baskets of coarse grains, plus 16 yuan.

On the 15th, the day of the Sandawan Commune gathering, Ping'an was asked to take Caihe and buy two pieces of cloth to make clothes.

Do you think it's okay?

"Oh, no, this is too much.

How can you just follow the crowd? For a girl in the village, the heaviest betrothal gift is this.

Pork is not needed. Meat coupons are hard to exchange. Save them for the autumn harvest.

Reduce the deposit a bit, just give 9 yuan and it will be fine."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan naturally would not agree. He was also thinking about emptying his pockets to avoid being targeted by the reborn heroine.

"Auntie, you are behind the times, aren't you? This is just the beginning.

I heard that the accountant's daughter in Xiao Mengzhuang next door is engaged.

Not only did they give me a deposit of 100 yuan, but they also gave me a fashionable ladies' watch.

"Hey, I know what you're talking about. Which girl would be willing to marry into the city and become a stepmother if the salary is too little?

These are two different things and cannot be compared together.

People in the city have wages and it is easy to make money, but it is not something that we farmers can compare to.

All right, Yuanzi. Just listen to me. No more pork, and I'll reduce the deposit. That's it."

"Aunt, how about this, we both take a step back, I will shamelessly not buy the pork, but the deposit cannot be reduced.

Besides, Caihe will be the head of the family after she gets married, so the money should be given to her sooner or later.

In the end, it will all be Caihe who will take care of it.”

"Hey, I can't argue with you. I'll just do as you say."

In the end, Ji Chunyu still accepted it with a smile. After all, it was a good thing that Jing Yuan was willing to give his granddaughter face. It was enough to just refuse it and express his attitude.

But she didn't dare to refuse outright. If Jing Yuan really changed his mind and gave less money, she would be the one who would be anxious and regretful.

"Oh, right, Yuanzi. I still have a few cloth coupons. I'll give them to you later. You can use them to buy red cloth!"

"Thank you, Auntie. I am indeed short of cloth coupons."

……

Ping'an poked his head out from the kitchen and saw that his father and Grandma Guo had almost finished their discussion. He immediately ran to the main room, moved the dining table and stools under the old locust tree, and prepared to eat.

Breakfast is always simple, with sweet potato leaf pancakes, sweet potato porridge, and garlic-mashed cucumbers and tomatoes.

The five of them enjoyed the meal very much.

At the dinner table, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan suddenly had an idea and took the initiative to propose:

"Aunt Guo, how about we just have dinner together?

From now on, you just stay at home and do some light work with Panpan.

Caihe, just follow Ping'an and me to work together.

With Ping'an and I looking after her, Caihe can feel a lot more relaxed.

Anyway, the matter of the two children has been settled.

Others won't gossip about it.

What do you think? "

Ji Chunyu naturally happily accepted such a great offer.

After all, I'm old now, I have to admit that I'm old, and I really can't do some farm work anymore.

Jing Yuan is a capable person. Ji Chunyu feels most at ease knowing that he is taking care of the two children.
