When it comes to getting married, it gets complicated when it comes to engagement. Involving two adults, the customs and habits of both places must be taken into account.
The Huaidong family's first task was to obtain the consent of Wang Qian's parents. The next day was Sunday, and Huaidong's soldiers divided into three routes: Huaidong and Wang Qian went to the city to sell gold, diamonds, and clothes; Huai Xiangchun called Huai Xiangli to go home for dinner at noon to discuss the matter of going to Wang Qian's house to propose marriage; Liang Haiyan hurriedly went out after breakfast to inquire about Wang Yiyuan's engagement from another unit.
Wang Qian was very excited to buy gold in the city, the last time she went to Yunjiang, she found that those classmates were wearing gold bracelets or bracelets around their hands and necks, only her hands and necks were empty.
For the first time, she got up early in the morning, freshened up and dressed up, and urged Huaidong to drive away quickly.
Huai Shang said: The mall can only open at 10 o'clock, and it is useless to go early.
Wang Qian said: It's almost 9 o'clock now, and it should be almost time when we get there.
After waiting for 20 minutes at the entrance of the mall, the mall finally opened. Wang Qian went straight to the gold and silver jewelry area, and quickly picked out the bracelet of Sansheng III, the price was more than 15,000. She wore it on her hand and admired it repeatedly, and she liked it very much. The young lady in the counter wasted no time in praising her for wearing it, looking noble and white-skinned, and urged Huaidong to buy it for her beloved, and the meaning of this bracelet is also good: three lives and three lives.
Under the attack from both sides, Huaidong gradually lost his ability to think, and without much hesitation, he paid for this bracelet that symbolized three lives and three lives.
Then there is a diamond ring, Wang Qian took a fancy to a ring called: Airuo first sighted, the price is more than four thousand, the waiter strongly recommended that the diamond ring should be a pair, a man and a woman, a couple, and took it out for Huaidong to try, Wang Qian also hoped to buy one, but Huaidong thought of the problem of the waist bag, or only bought one.
After buying the two large pieces, more than 20,000 yuan has been spent, and the next necklaces, earrings, and anklets cost a total of more than 40,000 yuan.
Huaidong's savings were emptied in the blink of an eye, and his credit card limit was depleted. But Wang Qian had to buy clothes and shoes next, and Huaidong really had no choice, so he had to call Huai Xiangchun and ask him to transfer another 20,000 yuan.
Huai Xiangchun asked casually: Is the gold bought?
Huaidong said: I bought it.
Huai Xiangchun asked again: How much money was spent in total?
Huaidong said: Almost 70,000.
70,000 yuan! Huai Xiangchun couldn't help but exclaim, with so much money, their family can't save it for a year. But for the sake of his son, he had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and transfer 20,000 yuan to Huaidong.
Just after the operation, Liang Haiyan came back, she said: I just asked Lingzi, when her Wang Yiyuan was engaged, she gave them 30,000 yuan, regardless of how much gold and silver they bought, or if they didn't buy it, they were casual. 10,000 gifts for the engagement, prepare a table of dishes at the man's house, and the woman's parents and close relatives come to have a meal together. Let's also give them 30,000 yuan to buy things, just like Reiko's family, what do you think?
Huai Xiangchun said: You said it too late, they have already bought gold jewelry.
Liang Haiyan was surprised: It's not 12 o'clock now, don't they always get up at 12 o'clock?
Huai Xiangchun said: Huaidong didn't have enough money to call just now, so I asked me to transfer 20,000 yuan to him.
Liang Haiyan said: How much did they spend on gold jewelry?
Huai Xiangchun said: Huai Dong said that he spent almost 70,000 yuan, and now he doesn't have enough money to buy clothes, so let me transfer some for him.
Liang Haiyan sat down on the sofa all of a sudden: 70,000 yuan has already been spent, and if you buy clothes again, you can't buy 5,000 yuan? If you buy gifts for others, you can get 10,000 yuan, right? If you take a deposit of 10,000 yuan, you can't beat the 100,000 yuan.
Huai Xiangchun said: Then what are you going to do?
The two were discussing, Huai Xiangli and Wang Lung came, Huai Xiangli looked at the empty dining table and said: Not a single vegetable hair has been prepared, call me to come back for dinner?
Liang Haiyan said: Eat! You just know how to eat, and you can call to get you back to solve the problem.
Wang Lung said: Sister-in-law, what's the problem? Say it and I'll solve it for you.
Liang Haiyan sighed and said: Isn't it still our marriage, your brother and I are about to die.
Huai Xiangli said: What's the worry? People are in our house every day, isn't it the same as getting married?
Wang Lung said: What you said is not right, people have two legs, they can leave in our house today and tomorrow, and it is different to get married.
Huai Xiangchun said to Liang Haiyan: You go to cook, and I will tell them about the situation.
Liang Haiyan said: Can you speak clearly with a clumsy mouth?
Huai Xiangli saw the situation, took out her mobile phone and said: Don't cook, I'll order fried chicken, call our mother a rice noodle, she likes to eat. Discuss this matter and don't let our mother participate?
Huai Xiangchun said: Don't let her participate, or be in a hurry.
The meal was arranged, the four of them sat down, Liang Haiyan said: I don't know where to start with this complicated situation, you said that other people's families marry a daughter-in-law smoothly, and our family doesn't know what's going on, nothing goes well!
Huai Xiangli said: Good things are grinding, good things are grinding.
Liang Haiyan continued: You don't know, a few days ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Qian was going home, Huaidong bought two good cigarettes and wine and went together, her mother didn't let Huaidong enter the door, she didn't agree to this matter, she had to let an old man in the village introduce Wang Qian to the object.
Huai Xiangli said: Isn't this nonsense?
Liang Haiyan said: The main task of calling you here is to be a middleman, to tell Wang Qian and her mother about this, you are a teacher in the university, Wang Qian and her brother are just going to take the college entrance examination next year, your mouth can also speak, just to fool her.
Huai Xiangli was a little hesitant: I don't know Wang Qian's mother, I should find someone who knows her family.
Liang Haiyan said: Where can she find her so far away from us? Don't shirk it, this matter is up to you.
It's not that Huai Xiangli doesn't want to be this middleman, she is worried about Liang Haiyan's personality, and she can't make her own thankless efforts, so she is angry at both ends.
Huai Xiangchun also said: You can't find someone else, you can go! Huaidong also wants you to go.
Huai Xiangli can't shirk anymore, this is her mother's business, her mother still has to be served by her sister-in-law every day, when her mother's family uses herself, how can she stand by and watch?
So she said cheerfully, "Okay, do you need to go to her house and say it?" Or do you say it on the phone?
Liang Haiyan said: It's best to go to her house and say, this time, directly tell all the things you need on the day of the engagement, we are far away, and we can't run back and forth.
Huai Xiangli said: When is the date of engagement?
Liang Haiyan said: We can't get engaged in June and Layue, your brother and I want to do their business in the second half of the year, then the engagement is this month, today is May 13, May 26 engagement.
Wang Lung said: Then we have to determine the gift money for the engagement.
said that the gift money, Huai Xiangchun said "hi". Liang Haiyan said: I just asked my neighbor this morning that she gave her children 30,000 yuan to buy gold jewelry when they got engaged, and 10,000 yuan as a gift to the woman's parents, as well as other cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks. We've got it now!
Huai Xiangli said: What's the matter? Wang Qian wants a lot?
Liang Haiyan said: At dinner last night, I said that they should go to the city today to have a look and buy three gold, Wang Qian said that now they are all hardware and one diamond, and this morning they got up early in the morning to go to the city, and they bought it before 12 o'clock.
Wang Lung said: Just buy it, you have to let people buy it!
Liang Haiyan said: You don't know how much money they spent!
Huai Xiangli said: How much?
Liang Haiyan said: I heard your brother say just now that the jewelry alone costs 70,000 yuan, and you have to buy clothes, not a few thousand yuan.
Huai Xiangli said: 70,000 is a lot.
Liang Haiyan said: You and Wang Long both earn high wages, how much do you spend to buy these things when you get married?
Wang Lung said: How many years have we been married?
Huai Xiangli said: Sister-in-law, I think you have to figure it out, she spent 70,000 yuan to buy these things, and in the end she brought them to our house, besides, the gold does not depreciate, you have the right to save your money for Huaidong.
Liang Haiyan's eyes rolled around a few times and said: It makes sense for you to say this, it's still our money, but we just took it out of this pocket and put it in another pocket. So when are you going to Wang Qian's house?
Huai Xiangli said: As long as it's not Wednesday, I can do it any day.
Liang Haiyan said: If that's the case, I'll talk to Wang Qian tonight to see if she wants to say hello to her mother, and then call you after confirming the time.
In the afternoon, Huaidong and Wang Qian returned with a full load, and before Wang Qian came back, Huai Xiangli repeatedly told Liang Haiyan: Don't give a face when the children come back, you have already bought it, and you give a face again, which intensified the contradiction again.
Liang Haiyan said: Remember! I won't say anything.
After all, Wang Qian is not deeply involved in the world, and she does not know how to observe words and feelings, she thinks that Huaidong's parents, whom she likes, will definitely like it, and will spare no effort to satisfy her liking.
Therefore, as soon as she entered the door, she showed Liang Haiyan the results of her shopping day, putting gold bracelets and gold necklaces ...... They were taken out one by one and gestured in front of Liang Haiyan: Look, how beautiful this is! I have long wanted a bracelet like this. There should be two diamond rings, one for Huaidong and me, but he was too stingy to buy one.
The smile on Liang Haiyan's face was extremely unnatural, she felt sorry for her money. But he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to echo and say: It's good-looking, you clean it up, and you lose it.
Wang Qian said: Auntie, you should clean it up now, and I should clean it up when I get to my house on the day of the engagement.
Liang Haiyan thinks about it. She remembered the engagement, so she said to Wang Qian: Your aunt came here in the morning, we discussed and discussed, and prepared to come to your house on May 26 and get engaged. Let's see if you say hello to your parents in advance.
Wang Qian counted with her fingers: May 26, there are still more than ten days, too nervous, right? I still want to hold an engagement ceremony.
Isn't that just your aunt going to your house and sending these things along with the deposit, even if it's an engagement ceremony? Liang Haiyan said.
Huaidong said: Mom, you are really outdated! The ceremony you two said is not the same thing at all, what she wants is to have a master of ceremonies to preside, and then our family and her family will participate in the engagement ceremony held in the hotel.
As he spoke, Huaidong searched for an engagement banquet on his mobile phone and showed it to Liang Haiyan.
Liang Haiyan said: If you like it, do what you like. The date was set on May 26, and it could not be any longer.
Wang Qian said: I'll call my mother tonight.
After dinner, after Wang Qian and Huaidong left, Liang Haiyan immediately searched the engagement banquet on her mobile phone, and saw a variety of offers, at least more than 10,000 yuan, she was very distressed, and kept complaining: What are you doing with all these bells and whistles?
Huai Xiangchun said: Now that Duxing is here, what's wrong with him, let's save these two money, what can be left is theirs, and there is no way to leave it.
After Wang Qian took a bath, dialed Qin Yuhuan's phone, and said a few polite words, Wang Qian said: I went to the city today to buy gold jewelry and am ready to get engaged.
Qin Yuhuan said: Are you really going to become with this child?
Wang Qian said: I'm 27 years old, when will I pick again?
Qin Yuhuan said: How much did you spend on jewelry?
Wang Qian said: Jewelry, clothes, and shoes cost almost 80,000 yuan.
When Qin Yuhuan heard this figure, she was quite satisfied, indicating that the Huaidong family was willing to spend money on their daughter. She said: Engagement is a big deal, and there are a lot of reasons among her, but it can't be said in a word.
Wang Qian said: We are going to hold an engagement ceremony here, and you and my dad will come over at that time.
Qin Yuhuan said: That's not how you did it, right? I have to talk to you Cheng Guiye, let him say what to do.
Wang Qian said: Why do I have to ask him what to do when I am engaged?
Qin Yuhuan said: "Follow the local customs, our village has the customs and habits of our village, and your mother-in-law doesn't have a matchmaker?"
Wang Qian said: We are ready to get engaged on May 26, and there are still 12 days in between.
Qin Yuhuan said: The matchmaker can come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and let you become a noble master when the time comes......
Cheng Guiye Cheng Guiye is annoyed! Wang Qian shouted impatiently, Okay, I'll discuss it with this side, and I'll call you back later.
Wang Qian called her mother, Huaidong couldn't understand a word, he felt similar to listening to a foreign language, he saw Wang Qian hang up the phone, so he asked her: What did your mother say?
Wang Qian said: My mother said that she would let the matchmaker go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Huaidong hurriedly called Liang Haiyan and said, Liang Haiyan said: Okay, I'll talk to your aunt and see which day it is convenient for your aunt to go.
Huai Xiangli received a notice and said, "I'll go tomorrow, aren't you in a hurry?"
Liang Haiyan said worriedly: What do you want to get from her house?
Huai Xiangli said: The first time I went to her house, I just took some fruit.
Liang Haiyan said: We take less, I am afraid that she will think that we despise her, and we take more, we don't want to spend more. It's really difficult.
After thinking about it, Liang Haiyan decided to spend two more good cigarettes, and then buy some good fruits, as for the people who traveled with her, she said that she would let Huaidong Wang Qian go with Huai Xiangli and Wang Long.
Wang Qian felt that she had to go together, because if she didn't go to be a translator, her parents and the "master" Wang Chenggui and Aunt Huaidong would not be able to communicate.
After the matter was decided, Wang Qian told her mother: Tomorrow they are going to go home to talk about the engagement, a total of 4 people, let her mother get ready.
