I wanted to cook four plates at noon, but Chu Wensong stopped me. If I don’t drink, two would be enough.

Chu Wensong was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, is there any more fish sauce? If so, let's plate that one."

"Yes, yes, Yi'an, go get a plate and bring it over."

I still have a jar of fish sauce at home.

"If you like to eat, ask Yi'an to bring two bottles before you leave."

"No, how can we even eat and take food with us?"

"It's okay, I still have it at home."

The atmosphere at lunch was very harmonious, and some details were discussed. The matchmaker will be here tomorrow, and there will be five people from the Chu family, the parents of the Chu family, Sister Chu, and the second daughter-in-law of the Chu family.

After dinner, Su Dahai went to invite Su Dajiang. There were people coming over there, and the elders here were also coming. Jianjun's wife would help cook tomorrow, and she had to make arrangements today.

Aunt Su was happy, but it didn't stop her from gossiping, "What does my niece-in-law do?"

There was pride in Su Dahai's tone, "He is a company commander in the army."

"That's not bad." Aunt Su thought about the company commander of the unit. Most likely he was an older man, or his wife died with a baby, and Yi'an went to be a stepmother for someone else.

No wonder Aunt Su thinks so, after all, Su Yian's own conditions are there.

"How old are you? Who else is at home?"

Su Dajiang's eyes widened and he shouted: "Hurry up and make your shoes. People who don't know better would think that you are eating from the government, so they are checking your household registration."

"Can't you even ask?"

"It's okay, brother and sister-in-law, there's nothing I can't ask, and there's nothing I can't tell. Xiao Chu is 27 this year, a little older than Yi'an, and has never been married before. This is his first marriage."

Su Dahai knew his sister-in-law's temperament very well. He even knew what she was thinking. It was better to ask him now than to ask the Chu family tomorrow.

Aunt Su looked shocked. It seemed that the man must be poor and short, otherwise there was no way to explain it.

Captain Chu, the "poor little guy", was waiting in the west room. Su Yian was ordered by Bai Hongmei to fill him with fish paste.

"No need to bring it today."

Su Yian stopped and asked, "When will you bring it?"

"We have decided that you have to go to your in-laws' house, and we will take you with you then."

Su Yian's cheeks turned slightly red, "They were all caught in the river. I'm afraid your family won't look down on us in formal occasions. Someone might say we are poor and use this to fool us."

Chu Wensong thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I won't take it with me then. I will take some with me when I return to the army for Commander He and my comrades."

Su Yian closed the jar and said, "Okay, I will make more when the time comes and bring you a few more bottles."

No matter how kind a family is, there are weird things. No family has the same steps. Su Yian has a clear understanding from the day he agreed to Chu Wensong. He will neither disrespect nor praise the Chu family. He will be polite but will not rush him.

.

Chu Wensong refused to accept the last gift in return, while Bai Hongmei was panting as she gave in, "You kid, go back empty-handed and show your parents how rude we have to be?"

Chu Wensong said: "Except for the fungus and winter bamboo shoots, which were given by my comrades, and the fish, which were given by Chu Lian, I bought them in the commune to nourish the body of the second elder. They don't know my intentions."

In the end, Chu Wensong left empty-handed.

In the evening, Bai Hongmei was busy again for most of the night, and Su Yian was "enslaved" for most of the night. It felt like she just squinted for a while, and Su Yian was woken up again.

It's daybreak.

Bai Hongmei made breakfast. After eating, she had to prepare lunch.

There was no room for the five members of the Chu family, the matchmaker, three members of the family, and the Su family's big room to sit at one table, so Bai Hongmei instructed Su Dahai to go out and borrow another table.

"Okay, let's go after dinner."

The original plan was to have six dishes, but with so many people, six dishes would not be enough? Bai Hongmei planned to add two more.

Stir-fried fungus with meat and make fish. I didn’t eat the carp yesterday.

Eight should be enough.

Su Dahai went out to borrow tables, stools, plates, and chopsticks. Bai Hongmei and his wife cut meat, washed vegetables, served dishes in sequence, and waited for everyone to come and start stir-frying. This would save them a lot of confusion.

After a while, Mr. Su Dajiang, Li Qiao and Cheng Chunhua also came over on leave. It was her sisters-in-law who helped with the cooking today.

Before ten o'clock, I heard someone shouting: "Second brother and sister, the guest is here."

It turned out that the Chu family had arrived, and the person calling was the matchmaker, the second aunt from Nanshantou.

Su Dahai, Bai Hongmei, let people into the house and introduced the others to each other.

Chu Wensong handed the gifts he brought to Su Yian and took out the fish and meat so they could be used for cooking at noon.

"Have your pockets been empty in the past two days?" Su Yian asked casually. In fact, he had already planned it. The man couldn't let him have financial control. It was too lavish.

"My parents prepared this."

Next, Chu Wensong got to know the woman’s family, and Su Yian got to know the Chu family.

Su Yian knows everyone from the Chu family, but is not familiar with them.

Aunt Su also saw "Poor Dwarf" with her own eyes, and she really couldn't figure out how she could fall in love with Su Yian with such a good condition?

As for the three-ring and one-ring gift money, it is usually decided by the parents of both parties, and the parties concerned only need to attend and listen.

Chu's father said: "The second brother had two jobs at that time, a bicycle and a sewing machine, and the gift was 180. It has been five years, and the fashion is different now. The boss earns his own money, which is different from the second brother. Yesterday the boss and

We discussed that three turns and one beep are enough, we will pay for the bicycle and watch, and the gift of 260, and the boss will pay for the other two items."

The Chu family was full of sincerity, and Bai Hongmei also expressed her position, "There is a sewing machine and a tricycle at home. Yi'an bought them. When the time comes, they will be used as dowry, so there is no need to buy these two."

Su Yian disagreed. Her parents were young and could use a tricycle and sewing machine, so she had no intention of bringing these two things with her when she got married.

Just when Chu's mother was about to agree, she got a thousand yuan plus gift money. This was not a small amount of money. In her words, no one would need so much money to get married.

Chu Wensong spoke first, "I leave the tricycle at home for my uncle and aunt to ride, and the sewing machine can be left for sewing and mending. I am marrying a wife, but I am not picking one up for free. I will buy what I should buy. This is my sincerity."

Who can refute this.

The general policy has been agreed upon, and the rest is the details, which will be slowly agreed upon later.

Su Yian went out to help the two sisters-in-law, and Sister Chu Chu Wenqiu also came over. She understood that this was a test for the man to test the woman's cooking skills. The wife he married did not just need to be able to give birth to children, she also had to take care of her son.

The grandson (brother) is serving me fat and white.

In this case, cooking skills are particularly important.

Li Qiao came here as a new daughter-in-law, and she knew it best. She put the shovel into Su Yian's hand and said, "Second sister, please teach me and your second sister-in-law how to make this bamboo shoot."
