[144] Engagement

With Nuannuan's unremitting efforts and Chen Lieyang's statement, Yu followed Nuannuan's proposal and came to the door to propose marriage to Jiang Xiaoyu.

Yu went to find someone to be a matchmaker. The matchmaker she was looking for was also a very prestigious woman in the village. She was the daughter-in-law of Chen Sanye Chen's family. Logically, Yu should have called her aunt.

"You want me to propose marriage to Alie to Xiaoyu, a caring family?" Chen Sanye's eldest daughter-in-law is also in her sixties or seventies this year. She has a good relationship with Yu and is very considerate of Yu.

Mr. Chen San chose the virtuous candidates who could be the mistress of the Chen family when he first chose the eldest daughter-in-law. This aunt was also the mistress of the Chen family for decades. The world has been chaotic for more than ten years. In recent years, she has only been working like an ordinary peasant woman.

But even so, the aunt was very kind and she was respected by the people in the village, because her men were gone when they were fighting, and a few of her sons went to fight and didn't come back. Not many could come back.

This aunt relied on him to stabilize her family, serves Mr. Chen San, the older father-in-law, and takes care of her younger children and grandchildren. She is kind and capable, and everyone in the village respects her.

Yu asked this aunt to be a matchmaker and hoped to give Jiang Xiaoyu enough face to make people see clearly what their Chen family values ​​Jiang Xiaoyu, instead of treating Jiang Xiaoyu as an orphan who has no father or mother to be under someone else's roof.

"Em, you should have heard that our boss has taken a fancy to Xiaoyu from Uncle Seventeen's house. Some time ago, I often went to show my kindness to Xiaoyu. Looking at Xiaoyu, I should also like our boss." Yu said to the Chen aunt in a low voice.

"You also know that Xiaoyu's mother has remarried now and has not brought her and her brother. Now she is living outside with her grandparents. It's not that she has suffered for a long time, but her reputation will also be bad. What if people say that she has caused her grandparents to live with her for the sake of her?"

"I just feel sorry for this girl, and my boss also feel sorry for me." Yu said to the Chen family with a smile, "I just think about it. Let's decide the marriage between Xiaoyu and our boss, and then they can handle their wedding, so they will take the person and her brother to our house. She can follow our children to continue to go to school, so her brother will be handed over to me."

"Oh? That's what you plan?" The Chen family's aunt was surprised.

Whose daughter-in-law doesn’t let her work after she gets married, doesn’t let her work, doesn’t let her make money for her family, and can still pay for her to go to school? She also has to help her daughter-in-law bring her in with her younger brother? Is the Tiezi family so considerate?

"You also know that Xiaoyu came from the Jiang family. It is said that the Jiang family is a scholarly family and has been scholars for generations. Xiaoyu is very smart. She has been very good at studying since she was a child." Yu explained, "If such a girl is sent to school, no matter how she is, our family will have a college student. By then, she will still have a good job after graduating from college. It is better than staying in the village for a lifetime to farm, right?"

"You also know that our boss is a capable person now and is very good at studying. Our boss plans to take the military academy and will join the army in the future. In this case, he has a wife who studies very well and has a very decent job, which is more decent than a wife who has a farming family, right?"

The Chen aunt nodded, thinking that what Yu said made sense.

"According to what you said, I was a little moved and wanted to tell my Tiejun about this marriage." The old lady of the Chen family said jokingly. Her nephew Chen Tiejun is eighteen years old and has not been engaged or got married, so she joked about her nephew.

"Em, you are not kind. I like this girl first." Yu also complained like a joke.

"Haha..." The old lady of the Chen family said with a smile, "Okay, since you said that, I will help you and tell them all the conditions for your family. As for their cheerfulness, I will come back to tell you after they hear them."

"Okay, then please Em." Yu said gratefully.

"It should be, after all, I watched that boy Alie grow up. I'm very happy that he can marry a wife." The old lady of the Chen family smiled and patted Yu's hand.

The matter of kissing was settled when I asked the matchmaker to come to the door to tell me that the kiss was settled. When Yu went to find the Chen family's aunt, Nuannuan was carried out by Su Qiao, who looked unhappy, and even carried it to the beach to look at the sea.

However, the atmosphere was not very good, because Su Qiao, whose vinegar bucket was knocked over, looked very bad now. When she hugged Nuannuan, she couldn't help but bit her white and tender face, leaving a few gums on her delicate face before she said unwillingly.

Su Qiao: "You want to help your future sister-in-law take care of your younger brother? Well? Have you forgotten that your future sister-in-law's younger brother is a man?"

Nuannuan said innocently: "I haven't forgotten, what's wrong with him being a boy?"

Su Qiao became even more upset: "What's wrong? You asked what's wrong? You have to look at the body of other men, and you asked me what's wrong?"

Nuannuan, who was confused, couldn't help but squirt: "Puff... other men's bodies?"

Su Qiao refused to give in and said, "Isn't it? Even a baby who is less than two months old is still a man. He doesn't have to look at his body? Do you know how to avoid suspicion? You can only look at my body, but others can't."

Nuannuan: "…"

"Are you thinking too much? He is just a baby who is not two months old. And I am only two and a half years old. I must not be the one who bathes and changes clothes for the baby?" Nuannuan comforted her and said with a kiss.

"Even if this is the case, it won't work." Su Qiao certainly knew that his wife would definitely not be able to take a bath, change diapers and change clothes for the child, and even if his wife was willing to be in the future, her father-in-law and mother-in-law would definitely not let her do it.

But he was still very unhappy. He had been spoiled by his wife since he was a child, but he had not spoiled her yet. His wife had to take care of other men. How could he be young and consolidated and not jealous?

Even if he was just a baby less than two months old, he would be jealous.

Nuannuan said funnyly, "I'm also accumulating experience to take care of our children in the future."

"What?" Su Qiao was stunned and looked down at his wife.

"We had never had children in our previous life, so we had no experience in taking care of children. In our previous life, our elder sister was not married or had children, and we couldn't take care of them. As for the captain and their children, we couldn't get in touch with them, which led to us having no experience in taking care of children."

"We are planning to have children in this life, right? I have been practicing from Sister Xiaoyu's younger brother from now on, and then to my brothers' children. When we give birth, I will not be in a hurry." Nuannuan explained with a smile on Su Qiao's arms.

Su Qiao: "..." He still felt uncomfortable when he looked at Bai Teng Tuanzi, who was only two and a half years old, nestled in his arms and said that he would give birth to a child in the future. He really had no pedophiles, really no.

"Okay, I believe in you, but you can't look at their bodies." Su Qiao ordered.

"Okay, okay, I just learn to hug the child, feed the child, and coax the child, and I will definitely not bathe the child and change the diapers. After all, I am still young now." Nuannuan promised with a smile.

Su Qiao was satisfied and stuffed the cute little girl in her arms into her arms, then looked at the sea. They are having a good life now. Without the many crises in the end of the world, nor with the troubles of adults, they can grow up carefree, which is great.

You and I are at peace, and the years are peaceful.

After the Chen family's aunt agreed to Yu's proposal, she came to the door the next day. She called Grandpa Chen and Chen Tiexin back and talked about the marriage directly at Chen Tiexin's house.

Of course, she also knew that Grandma Chen didn't like Jiang Xiaoyu, so she wouldn't say in front of Grandma Chen when she was talking about Jiang Xiaoyu's marriage that she just needed to talk to her relatives who really care about Jiang Xiaoyu.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here today?"

Grandpa Chen was really surprised when he saw the Chen family aunt. Although the Chen family aunt was not of the highest seniority in the village, she was also very status. After all, she was the head of the Chen family's direct descendant, and her status was really not low.

Although the Chen clan has weakened a lot of power after dividing the land back then, the clan's power is still there. As the mistress of the Chen clan, the Chen family's aunt still has a strong prestige.

The current patriarch of the Chen family is the eldest son of the Chen family's aunt, so everyone in the Chen family respects the Chen family very much. This is a matter of politeness for generations of the Chen family. It is not because of the feudal poison, but because of the Chen family's politeness, respect for the elders, and direct descendants.

During the war, the Chen family's aunt organized the Chen family and even the entire Qianwan Village women to help fight the enemy and protect the rear, so that the men in the front could fight against the enemy without any worries. Therefore, the Chen family's aunt's prestige became stronger and her unique personality charm.

After liberation, most of the Chen family aunts spent their days at home and enjoyed their grandchildren. Of course, Mr. Chen San, the former patriarch, would occasionally take charge of major affairs in the village. After all, the Chen family aunt was a woman's family and had very few of them.

But Grandpa Chen didn't expect that the Chen family's aunt would come to their house. His first reaction was - was his bad wife apart from something wrong, so the Chen family's sister-in-law came out to be fair?

"Don't worry, I'm here today for a happy event." The Chen family's aunt smiled and said to the nervous people, "I'm here today to tell you about the marriage of your foreign girl, Miss Jiang Xiaoyu."

"Little Fish?" Grandpa Chen and Chen Tiexin looked at the Chen family aunt in surprise.

They were all surprised. They really didn't expect that Jiang Xiaoyu would alarm the Chen family's aunt. Although it was useless to put the Chen family's aunt outside, it was very useful in Qianwan Village, especially the Chen family members.

So they really didn't expect that Jiang Xiaoyu's incident could alarm the Chen family's aunt, and they came for Jiang Xiaoyu's marriage.

"Sister-in-law, who are you here to propose marriage?" Grandpa Chen asked.

"Who else? Of course, it's the boss of the Tiezi family and Lieyang boy." The old lady of the Chen family said with a smile.

"To be honest, Miss Xiaoyu and Lieyang boy are considered to be related. Your lineage has indeed been in the fifth match with our third lineage, but after all, they are still the same surname as Chen? Miss Xiaoyu is your cousin, and she is also the cousin of our entire Chen family."

"There is nothing wrong with Miss Xiaoyu and Lieyang kids getting married, right? What's more, they are very good at being a handsome man and a beautiful woman." The aunt of the Chen family said seriously and sincerely.

There is nothing wrong with being a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Everyone in the Chen family nodded in their hearts. All of them agreed with the saying that Jiang Xiaoyu was outstanding. The younger generation in the village, or except Yu and Chen Yayue, were no better-looking than Jiang Xiaoyu.

"So, there is nothing wrong with Lieyang boy joining your cousin with your cousin, right?" said the old lady of the Chen family with a smile. "And Tiezi Woman told me that if Xiaoyu girl married into the Chen family, she could take her brother to marry, and the Chen family would help raise the child. Even Xiaoyu girl could go to school with Lieyang boy and others."

"You have to admit that although you are kind to Miss Xiaoyu, you can't take care of Miss Xiaoyu's younger brother, right? If you can't take care of Miss Xiaoyu, then you can only take care of Miss Xiaoyu. She still has to work on weekdays and has no time to go to school."

"If Miss Xiaoyu married into Tiezi's family, she could hand over the child to Tiezi and the others with confidence, and she could go to school with Lieyang boy. At that time, she could still get into college, find a good job after graduating from college, and raise her younger brother with peace of mind, so that he could marry and have children." The Chen family aunt said loudly.

When the Chen family's aunt said this, Chen Xiaoyun and Chen Xiaoxue had already pulled Jiang Xiaoyu outside the house to eavesdrop. Jiang Xiaoyu's younger brother was already asleep and was carried by Jiang Xiaoyu on his back. The adults could not see them eavesdropping.

When he heard what the aunt of the Chen family said that if she married Chen Lieyang, she could continue studying and her younger brother could also let Yu take care of her, Jiang Xiaoyu's cheeks were red but her eyes were also red.

That outstanding, silent and steady boy actually did this to make her so far. How could she not fall in love with her?

Chen Tiexin and his wife Chen Tiexin couldn't help but look at each other. They really didn't expect that the conditions given by the Chen family were so good.

"And Tiezi Woman said that she could give a betrothal of 166 yuan plus three major betrothal gifts. They did not ask Xiaoyu to use all the things left by her father to their siblings as dowry. Even if she wanted to leave everything her father left to their siblings for her brother, she just needed to let Xiaoyu marry her as soon as possible." The Chen family's aunt felt that such conditions were unprecedented, so she didn't think Grandpa Chen and the others would refuse, but she still had to ask, "What do you think?"

Grandpa Chen and Chen Tiexin and his son looked at each other and saw the approval in each other's eyes.

"...Okay, we agree."

Where can I find such conditions? Xiaoyu was originally the cousin at home, but in fact they could not handle her marriage with full authority, let alone such a generous condition? If such conditions are not agreed, what else can they find for Xiaoyu?

They were not greedy for Jiang Xiaoyu's things, and they really felt sorry for Jiang Xiaoyu. Since the conditions offered by Chen Tiezheng's family are so generous, is there anything they can't agree to?

Chen Tiexin's family agreed to the marriage, but they did not put forward any conditions. They just needed Chen Lieyang to be kind to Jiang Xiaoyu.

The Chen family brought the good news back, and Yu and Chen Tiezheng got busy. They were busy first, asking someone to come to propose marriage, and first held an engagement banquet for the children, preparing to hold a banquet and a wedding during Chen Lieyang's summer vacation.

It was also at this time that Qianwan Village was in trouble. Chen Lieyang, the best young man in the village, got engaged to Jiang Xiaoyu, the bitter girl. Chen Lieyang will have to hold a wedding after the holiday.

Everyone was talking about it because they were so hurrying, but Chen Tiezheng's family said that such an excellent girl would certainly go in early. When the time comes, she would become even better.

No matter what everyone thinks, how jealous the countless girls are of Jiang Xiaoyu, or how many young men are of Chen Lieyang, the marriage between Chen Lieyang and Jiang Xiaoyu was officially settled a week later, and several banquets were held for an engagement banquet.

The engagement banquet was simple, which means that several respected elderly people in the village and respected elders of Chen's family were invited to attend and witness the marriage between two newcomers in the family.

When Chen Lieyang and Jiang Xiaoyu hold their wedding, they will hold a big meeting. Although they can’t get a marriage certificate and can’t have sex at this moment, the wedding will still be held lively. After all, this is a big happy event, right?

The engagement banquet is still the day when Chen Lieyang and his friends were on holiday. Chen Lieyang was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, Jiang Xiaoyu was wearing a pink Republican student dress, and had a very beautiful girl bun on his head, so he attended today's engagement banquet.

Today's banquet was made by Zhou and her grandson Chef Su Qiao. Of course, Chen Tiexin's wife and others were fighting. Chen Lieyang's brothers and Yu were greeting guests. As the prospective groom, Chen Lieyang would of course have to drink with Jiang Xiaoyu to the elders.

Today's banquet is very important, so Su Qiao and Zhou made dishes with very good meanings and the name of the dishes is also very nice.

The fruit plate is a perfect dish of Yongjie Tongxin fruit plate, sweet eight-treasure rice, knot-knot (spicy mutton roasted onion), phoenix and pine (seafood roasted noodles), steamed tulip fish, abalone ginseng wing soup, Meijiji shrimp, silver shredded scallops, seafood chowder soup, and desserts (lotus seeds and red bean paste).

Today's engagement banquet was very sumptuous. Chen Tiezheng and his family were all happy, while Chen Lieyang and Jiang Xiaoyu were both very happy. The unmarried couple were really handsome and beautiful, and they looked very good.

After the engagement banquet, Chen Lieyang and Jiang Xiaoyu officially became unmarried couples and were waiting for the wedding in July. The wedding time was set on the Qixi Festival on the seventh day of the seventh day of the lunar calendar, which had a very good meaning.
