In Lijia Village, when marrying a wife, the man has to give the woman six kinds of gifts. When announcing the good news before the wedding, the man will carry a shoulder pole and walk dozens of miles along the mountain road to deliver them to the woman's home. This is a local tradition and also the rule of marriage.

Now that Li Xiangnan wants to marry Qin Ruobai, he will definitely do the same!

Although we are in Yanjing, we cannot forget the rules of the Li family.

The same is true in Yanjing and in the city.

This is not only a continuation of tradition, but also shows the man's sincerity.

At the same time, the man must have a respected relative to act as a "matchmaker" to fully demonstrate the man's respect for the woman.

Now the relatives and friends of the Li family have not arrived yet, and the patriarch Li Dewen has not arrived yet, so they can only let the factory director Liu Zhiyuan do it for the time being.

As the most important person after Xiao Li came to Beijing, Liu Zhiyuan naturally had no choice but to do the job. He came early in the morning, distributed cigarettes in the yard, mingled with the neighbors, picked up a few baskets, and immediately rushed to the backyard. He happened to meet Li Xiangnan who was carrying a shoulder pole, so he stuffed a pack of wedding cigarettes in his briefcase to Cui Xingjian, Sun Jie, Wu Shulin, Wu Mao, and Wang Defa, and quickly greeted them:

"Sister-in-law, I'll take the children with me then!"

"Director Liu, I'm counting on you this time!" Zhu Qiuju said, and then she walked over quickly, stuffed the red envelope into Li Xiangnan's pocket, and reminded him, "This is for Ruobai! It's not much, 101 yuan!"

What matters is the meaning of picking one out of a hundred, which is very beautiful!

"I know, Mom! You just go and do your work! I'll go over with Uncle Liu right away!" Li Xiangnan stood up, picked up the shoulder pole and prepared to go out.

"Oh, just in time!"

At this time, Ma Ying and Yang Weidong arrived at the backyard gate, each riding a bicycle, and were politely trying to make way for Zhang Jingyang to come in.

"Hey, everyone's here!" Wang Defa grinned, "So Xiao Li and I are the only ones who know what we're going to do today! We're the only ones who are kept in the dark!"

Zhang Jingyang smiled and said, "Yesterday, Xiao Li called and said he was going back to Beijing, so I arranged it! You are so busy, I can't let you worry about anything!"

"What a bad character!" Wang Defa glared at him.

The crowd laughed.

Li Xiangnan waved his hand, led everyone out, and asked, "Weidong, why are you here? Erya..."

"It's okay. Director Ding will help take care of it! I went back home this morning and arranged everything!" Yang Weidong grinned and said, "Your matter is the top priority now!"

Nodding slightly, Li Xiangnan walked out of the yard amid the gazes and congratulations of his neighbors.

Li Xiangnan, Cui Xingjian, Sun Jie and Wu Shulin carried eight baskets, followed by Wang Defa, Zhang Jingyang, Yang Weidong, Ma Ying and Wu Mao as backups, helping to take care of the things along the way, taking turns to carry them after walking a distance, all the way to the Qin family compound.

The procession was grand and majestic, with big red wedding characters pasted on the baskets, which looked very festive and attracted many people to look at them curiously.

Yanjing is a northern city, and the way of getting married there is somewhat different from that in the south. Many procedures have been simplified, so naturally people are very interested in such a grand ceremony of giving a bride price.

When they were resting on the street, many shop owners and passers-by asked Li Xiangnan what he was doing. When they found out that he was getting married and giving a gift, they all gave him a thumbs up and praised Li Xiangnan for being a man of integrity.

As they walked along, they were getting closer and closer to the Qin family, and everyone's hearts became excited.

……

At this moment.

Several people were already standing at the gate of the Qin family’s compound.

Qin Zongheng, Jiang Guiying.

The eldest brother Qin Anling’s wife Xiao Jing, and his sons Qin Yunyu and Qin Qiushan.

The second son is Qin Kunlun, and his son is Qin Jingchuan.

The third son, Qin Taihang, has a wife named Wen Fang and a son named Qin Yuchao.

The fourth child is Qin Anlan, her husband is Bai Jinsong, and her son is Zao Zao.

Some of Qin'anling, Qin Taihang, Qin Songhua, Qin Huaihe, and Qin Haiyang cannot come back, while others are on the way and have not arrived yet!

Of course, there is also the most important heroine Qin Ruobai!

The entire Qin family came out in full dress to attend the event.

There were many neighbors from the same courtyard around, chatting with Qin Zongheng and others while watching the fun.

The matter of the Qin family marrying off their daughter has really concerned many people.

"Sister, can you please stop shaking? My eyes are almost blurry!" Qin Jingchuan squatted on the ground, polishing tactical boots with a few brothers, laughing and teasing his sister.

"You little brat! You're making fun of your sister! Let's see how nervous you will be when you get married!" Wen Fang glared at him, causing the people around them to laugh.

Qin Ruobai's face was so red that it was almost wet. How could she dare to look her family in the eye? She was so embarrassed that she was unrecognizable!

Being teased by her second brother, she didn't dare to refute at this moment. She just hoped to see her big pig's hoof as soon as possible so that she could disappear from the eager gaze of the crowd and neighbors.

A woman's blush is better than a long confession of love!

What's more, she and Li Xiangnan are going to get married in a few days!

That kind of expectation and shyness in one's bones is the most moving beauty in the world.

"Hey, here it comes!"

Qin Jingchuan suddenly cried out, then stood up and looked at his sister.

"Ah?" Qin Ruobai screamed and quickly hid behind her father, not daring to look at Li Xiangnan!

"Grandma's!"

Grandfather's angry scolding came from the side. Qin Ruobai secretly stretched her head to take a look. Her face instantly turned red again. She said coquettishly: "Stinky second brother! You are playing tricks on me again!"

"Hahaha!" Qin Jingchuan succeeded in playing his prank and couldn't stop laughing.

A group of people grinned.

Qin Kunlun stood behind his father, one body length behind him, with his hands behind his back. Seeing his children playing funny games with each other, he felt happy but also a little sad.

Oh my god, the kids are all grown up!

Ruobai is also getting married. How happy you would be if you could see it with your own eyes!

"Oh, it's really coming!"

The teasing voice of his son rang out again, interrupting Qin Kunlun's thoughts.

"You little brat, you're making fun of your sister again!"

Qin Anlan, who was standing aside, didn't even look ahead. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Qin Jingchuan's ear, and shouted, "See if you get married again, Ruobai and Xiangnan won't give you a hard time! You better behave yourself and stop picking on your sister..."

"Auntie, it hurts, it's really coming, it's really coming!" Qin Jingchuan suddenly screamed and rubbed his ears.

"An Lan, here we come!"

The deep voice of the second brother came from the side. Qin Anlan turned his head and looked. He was shocked and immediately let go of his hand. His eyes suddenly turned red. He called Ruobai softly and reached out to hold her hand.

Then, a group of people were seen walking towards them from afar on the long, straight and wide driveway of the Qin Family Compound.

Li Xiangnan was carrying two large baskets and walking towards this side with big strides and high spirits.

"Ruobai, Xiangnan is coming!"

Jiang Guiying called out from the front.

Qin Anlan came over with her niece.

Qin Ruobai's hands were tightly held by her grandmother and aunt, and tears were streaming down her face.

Li Xiangnan walked closer and shouted, "Ruobai, here I come!"

With a loud noise, the crowd immediately surrounded them.

Liu Zhiyuan hurried forward to shake hands with Qin Zongheng, and said with great emotion: "Old Factory Director, I brought Xiangnan to marry your granddaughter! I have a book and a word to say, please listen!"

"Please speak!" Qin Zongheng smiled casually. Knowing that this was the rule of the Li family, he nodded generously.

Liu Zhiyuan took a step back and devoutly took out a piece of red paper from the chest pocket of his Zhongshan suit. After unfolding it, there were small words on it. He looked at all the people in the Qin family, cleared his throat and said:

"The two families are united in marriage, and the contract is signed in one hall. The marriage is eternal and the couple is well matched. Look at the peach blossoms on this day, which are bright and suitable for the family. I predict that in the future, your offspring will continue to grow and you will be prosperous. I hereby write down the promise of growing old together on a red paper; I will record the covenant of red leaves in the love genealogy. This certificate will be brought to the Qin family, and it means that my Li family and the Qin family will be happily married for a hundred years, and for a long time!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, tears welling up in their eyes and their gazes burning.

"Get ink!" Qin Zongheng waved with a smile.

Zao Zao, who was standing by, immediately came out from the guard room holding a wooden tray with dissolved ink and a few ready-made brushes on it.

Liu Zhiyuan shouted, "Miss Qin, please!"

Qin Ruobai wiped her tears, walked forward, picked up the brush, and signed her name on the red paper.

"Xiangnan, please!" Liu Zhiyuan shouted again.

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan smiled slightly, stepped forward to take Qin Ruobai's brush, and wrote his name on the red paper generously.

When the ceremony was over, Liu Zhiyuan blew on the ink, waited for three seconds for the wind to dry it, then quietly closed it, solemnly handed it to Qin Zongheng, and said with a smile: "Old Factory Director, congratulations!"

Wow, wow, wow! The whole audience burst into applause.

Qin Zongheng solemnly handed it to his wife Jiang Guiying, grabbed Li Xiangnan and Qin Ruobai's hands, and said loudly: "Please!"
