Two TVs, a ceiling fan, and Li Chu simply bought a dual-card tape recorder. The money was spent like water, and Ding Qiunan's face turned green when he paid for it.
Fortunately, Wang Jiayuan took them directly to the warehouse behind to buy it. If it was inside a department store, their family would probably be surrounded by people to visit now.
Wang Jiayuan looked on in shock. She really didn't expect her uncle to buy so many things when he came here. When she first came here, she thought he would only buy a TV.
"Auntie, why did you buy so much? Are you having a hard time?"
"Go, what are you talking about!" Ding Qiunan was putting her wallet there and feeling distressed about it. She felt like her heart was bleeding.
"I bought one TV for your cousin's house and one for our house. The replaced TV and ceiling fan are both for Dazhuang's house."
"Dazhuang?"
Only then did Wang Jiayuan turn her attention to the young man who was loading the TV onto the tricycle.
"Auntie, is he the guard assigned to my uncle from above?"
"Yes, why do you have any unmarried girls of the right age to introduce you to?"
"Don't tell me, aunt. It's true. Our department has just assigned a college student. She is quite pretty. Her parents both work in the knitting factory, and her father is also the director of the factory's labor department."
Ding Qiunan nodded: "It sounds pretty good, but I heard Uncle You say that it's quite troublesome for Da Zhuang to find a partner. The review is very strict, so they basically digest it internally."
"Internal digestion?" Wang Jiayuan was stunned for a moment.
"Oh oh oh, aunt, you mean, they are looking for partners in the army?"
"That's pretty much it."
Ding Qiunan didn't explain too much. In fact, people like Liu Dazhuang and others who wanted to talk to someone were arranged by the organization in the end. If he took the initiative to find someone outside, the review procedures would be too troublesome and would scare away other girls.
Wang Jiayuan said with regret, "Oh, let's forget it."
Liu Dazhuang's name sounds rustic, he is very energetic, and he is 1.75 meters tall. He has received training since he was a child, not to mention his figure, and he is still a cadre.
Not to mention anything else, just as a cadre, in the eyes of those matchmakers, he is a high-quality man.
"Jiayuan, why are you still a matchmaker now?"
"Hey, why are you being a matchmaker? I just think that girl is pretty good."
"Don't think so much." Ding Qiunan took his niece's hand: "Let's go, everything is packed, Shen Yi will come over at noon."
"My son-in-law is coming at noon, why don't you prepare in advance, aunt?"
"Forget it, that damn girl Hui Hui, I didn't mention it last night. I just remembered this morning that your uncle booked a table at Xu Damao's before going out and they brought it over at noon."
"Let's go, stop talking." Li Chu waved to them.
"Come on, come on, go ahead." Ding Qiunan said loudly.
"Aunt, it seems that when Huihui got married, Yueyue should also be in confinement, right?"
"Yes, her due date is mid-September."
"Hey, last year when Wenxuan got married, I was in confinement, and this year when Huihui got married, Yueyue did the same thing. Our family has really caught up."
"This is great, a double happiness! It's a pity that Yueyue is not pregnant with two. There are too few people in our family."
Wang Jiayuan pursed her lips and smiled softly. She heard her mother say before that her aunt was almost obsessed with wanting a child in those years. Now seeing that there is no hope here, she started talking about her daughter-in-law again, hoping that her daughter-in-law could also be pregnant. twins.
Unfortunately, this only thought was shattered.
After returning home and moving the newly bought 18-inch color TV to the living room, Li Chu pointed to the small TV he had replaced and said, "Dazhuang, take this TV into your room."
"Ah? Director, I don't want it. I don't watch TV. If it's okay, I can just listen to the radio."
"Stop talking nonsense, you can hug me if you want. The ceiling fan will be moved to your room first. There will be guests at noon. I will install it for you when I get down."
Only then did Liu Dazhuang realize that the ceiling fan he had just brought back was specially bought for his house. He had originally thought that if nothing happened today, he planned to go to the flea market to buy a table fan.
"Thank you, director!"
"It's so pretentious over there, hurry up," Li Chu waved his hand.
…
Shen Yi had just finished packing things here and it was only ten o'clock when Shen Yi came to the door. When he saw the people who came with Shen Yi, Li Chu had the urge to beat his daughter for the first time.
He didn't believe that Shen Yi hadn't told his daughter clearly what he was doing at the house today, and now it seemed like he was being a little negligent.
The most important thing is that he has not prepared anything. How to return gifts to others later will be a big problem.
That's right, Shen Yi and his family came to pay a betrothal gift today. Not only did he come, but because there were no other relatives in the family, Shen Jun came in person, as well as Shen Jun, his daughter-in-law's brother, and several juniors. Each person held a gift in his hand, and finally, after Shen Jun was transferred to the General Administration, his direct leaders also came as witnesses today.
Li Wenhui didn't know whether it was because she was shy or because she knew she had made a mistake and was afraid of being punished, so she took Yueyue and hid in the house without daring to go out.
"Sister Hui, you're screwed. You didn't tell our parents clearly about such a big matter. You'll see how they deal with you then."
"I never thought they would have such a big battle. When Shen Yi told me to come over today, I thought it was just a simple matter." Li Wenhui sat beside the bed with a sad look on her face.
"Didn't Shen Yi say who would come to his family?"
"I told you, about his father and uncle, his children and witnesses."
"Then why didn't you make it clear? I heard it during dinner in the morning, and you just casually said that Shen Yi would be here at noon."
"I...I didn't care!"
"My sister Hui, you are putting our parents on the fire!"
Wang Yueyue clearly remembered that when her family knew that they were going to send betrothal gifts, her mother and grandmother had been preparing for several days. The most important thing was that the woman's family had to prepare a return gift for the man. You can't let her do it today. It would be really rude to go back empty-handed.
With a "clang", the door was pushed open and Li Wenxuan walked in.
"Sister, please wait for our parents to give you a good look. Yueyue, please be careful and call grandma and grandpa over. Oh, there are also aunt and uncle. I will go to Xu Yang's restaurant to ask for another table of dishes in the morning. Just booking a table is not enough.”
Isn't it not enough? The groom's family alone can't even serve a table.
"Go quickly, brother Xuan. Slow down on the road."
"It's okay, I'll drive there."
After speaking, Li Wenxuan turned around and walked out.
