Lazy people also have spring

Chapter 18 Engagement

The trip to the Zhao family ended more smoothly than expected. Zhao Xueyan's crispness and generosity without losing etiquette, and the sincerity and enthusiasm of Zhao's father and son all left a good impression on the An family.And the An family's satisfaction and respect for Zhao Xueyan, and An Da's steadiness and reliability also made the Zhao family very satisfied.

Therefore, when the An family left, they already had the gifts prepared by the Zhao family.

After completing the gift exchange, it is time to discuss the bride price and bride price, and then discuss the wedding date.

Anda is only [-] years old. Although it is not considered early marriage in the village, it is not considered late marriage, but Zhao Xueyan has been delayed for a few years because of her father and younger brother, and she can no longer delay.Therefore, under the wish of both parents to hold the wedding as soon as possible, the wedding date was set early, just three months later.

As for the most difficult issue of the dowry, Zhao's father is frank, because his family can't afford to give much dowry to his son, so as long as he treats his girl well, the dowry only needs to be similar to that of the people in the village, if there is more Their family will also let the girl dowry over.

Although there is a suspicion of selling the girl, since Father Zhao can tell the truth without opening his mouth like a lion, compared to the greedy Cheng family before, the An family feels very comforted.

Mrs. Zhou even patted her chest and promised that Zhao Xueyan would be a member of the An family in the future, and she would definitely treat her like her own daughter!As for the dowry issue, their family will also make up for the dowry, so that her future daughter-in-law will not be underestimated.

Just like that, An's family started to get busy with the wedding again, but instead of working comfortably, they were assigned to write invitations, write shopping lists, and all other tasks related to writing.

At this time, Wang Meng is facing the dilemma of being forced to marry at Yu's family in Poshang Village.

"Uncle, I've just arrived here, and my family hasn't been settled yet, so I'm really in no hurry to get married." Wang Meng said with a sad face.

He has been in Poshang Village for more than a month.At first, his uncle Yu Qingheng thought he was just visiting relatives, and the whole family was very warm to him and cared for him.However, after he had a thorough understanding of Poshang Village and expressed to his uncle's family that he wanted to buy land and a house and settle here, he began to care about his marriage.

"Nonsense!" Yu Qingheng gave him a disapproving look, "How can you not be in a hurry? You are already 21. I didn't urge you at first because I thought you would go back. It would not be appropriate to marry a village girl, but now you have Now that you have settled here, how can you not be in a hurry to marry a wife? And they say that you start a family first, and then you start a business, and when you get married, there is no time to find a suitable house and land!"

In this way, before Wang Meng could find a suitable homestead to build a house, Yu Qingheng was chasing and intercepting him every day with the information of many girls of the right age to marry who had been collected by his aunt Da Zhou.

"How about this one? The girl from the Xu family, I heard that she looks average, but has a gentle personality. She is from IKEA..." Yu Qingheng asked him while holding a stack of small portraits of girls, pointing to one of them.

"..." Wang Meng was silent and shook his head.

"Don't just shake your head, take a look before you talk."

"..." Wang Meng sighed helplessly, raised his head for a quick glance, and still shook his head.

"I don't like it, what about this one?" Yu Qingheng took back the small portrait and replaced it with another one.

"..." Still shaking his head.

"This?" Another one.

"..." Shaking his head.

"........."

"........."

Yu Qingheng changed one after another, changing the portrait of the girl in his hand over and over again, Wang Meng shook his head in addition to shaking his head.Yu Qingheng was anxious, "Why do you keep shaking your head, you don't like any of these girls?"

Wang Meng took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, "Uncle, you really don't need to waste your time, I really don't plan to get married now."

"If you don't plan, plan quickly. You are already 21, you are no longer a young man, and if you don't get married now, all the good girls will be picked up by others. Or do you not like girls at all?"

Wang Meng: "..." He held the ax tightly in his hand, completely forgot to chop firewood, and kept his head down for a long time without making a sound.

Yu Qingheng was taken aback by his reaction, his eyes widened in surprise: "You really don't like girls! Then, do you like Brother Qilin? Wait, Brother Qilin, according to your worth, It's not impossible..."

Wang Meng didn't hear the imaginary reprimand and discrimination, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.However, before he came out of the tense state, his uncle asked, "Since you know that you like Qilin, you should also have someone you like? Which one is it? Do I know Uncle?" ?”

Wang Meng: "..." He was completely dumbfounded.My mind just went blank...

Yu Qingheng understood: "...So that's how it is. No wonder you turn a blind eye to the little portrait I gave you. Which family does that person belong to? As long as the uncle can speak, I will ask you. Uncle Don't ask for anything else, as long as you can live a good life and have a companion to accompany you, so that you won't be lonely and sad, even if uncle goes underground, he can still have a face to see your mother..."

"Uncle..." The corners of Wang Meng's eyes were moist, "You don't have to do this. In fact, my mother has always missed you. She never complained about you, and she always said that she made you worry, and she was always thinking about you before she died. You, let me come back anyway to see how you are doing..."

"Well... I know she won't blame me, but I can't forgive myself. If it wasn't for saving me, she is still alive and can marry an honest and responsible person to live with peace of mind, instead of being like this, with I'm separated from yin and yang, and I can't even see the last face..." Yu Qingheng thought of his sister who died young, and tears filled his eyes.

"Uncle, my mother told me that she didn't blame you for that incident at all. She dragged you down. When she decided to marry into the palace, she knew that you were designed because of her. How can you avoid it even if you are plotting against you?" Wang Meng remembered the secret his mother told him, clenched his fists tightly, and looked at him firmly, "Besides, the debt my mother owed back then , Her life has already been repaid, and I have repaid my kindness of birth and support these years. In the future, although I, Wang Meng, cannot change my surname, I have nothing to do with the Wang family anymore!"
