Under the control of Old Man Shen, the Shen family seemed peaceful to outsiders.

Just as everyone was craning their necks to watch the fun, Old Man Shen finally waited for his long-awaited grandson-in-law Zhao Changgui.

Accompanying Zhao Changgui was an uncle from his family. The purpose of their coming to the Shen family today was to give the first gift.

The so-called first gift is about one-third of the total betrothal gift. In fact, it can also be regarded as an engagement gift. In addition to giving gifts, the specific wedding date must also be agreed upon.

At the beginning, Zhao Changgui and Old Man Shen agreed on a dowry of 8 yuan, 2 kilograms of sugar, and 50 kilograms of corn kernels.

This betrothal gift is the first of its kind in Dongliang Village.

When other girls get married, the betrothal gift is usually 4 yuan and 2 kilograms of white or brown sugar.

The reason why Zhao Changgui was willing to pay a huge price of 8 yuan for the bride price, and also added 50 kilograms of corn kernels, was mainly because he was attracted by Shen Siyue's youth.

At the age of a flower bud, she looks so attractive!

If Zhao Changgui wants to eat young grass, won’t he have to bleed a little?

The east room of the Shen family.

Old man Shen sat on the kang, leaning against the windowsill.

Chen Chunshu and his wife sat near the head of the kang, Chen Xiashu and his wife sat on stools on the ground, and Chen Qiushu stood leaning against the door.

Zhao Yonggeng, who came with Zhao Changgui, glanced at Zhao Changgui behind him without leaving a trace. The seating positions of the Shen family members were quite intriguing.

However, he did not show any strange expression and continued to chat with Old Man Shen.

Zhao Yonggeng: "Brother, this yard is really big and tidy. I've heard that Brother Shen is good at managing the household. Today I see that it's true!"

"Farmers don't have much ability, this is all they have. I've told them since they were young that they have to do their work well. If they do it half-heartedly, it won't work! So any of our children, any one of them, is a good one."

Even though Old Man Shen was looking forward to Zhao Changgui's arrival, when the man really came, he still kept his status high and did not complain about showing his cowardice in front of others.

"Yes, it can be seen that the eldest brother is a good worker. The children and grandchildren at home are also well-educated. We all know your family from a distance. It's definitely this."

As Zhao Yonggeng spoke, he gave a thumbs up, and his words were full of praise for Old Man Shen. After all, as a relative of the male party who came to propose marriage, he had to be humble.

"Haha, Brother Zhao, you're too kind. As soon as I heard you speak, I knew you were an open-minded person. In my life, I'm willing to deal with people like you who understand."

Old man Shen was really happy with the other party's flattery, and he chatted with Zhao Yonggeng very enthusiastically.

Zhao Changgui sat aside, looking constantly towards the door.

Just after they came in, it was the third son of the Shen family who poured them some water.

According to common sense, it should be his young wife who came to serve them tea and water shyly.

Then the two of them looked at each other unexpectedly, and both blushed. This was the kind of courtesy he had imagined.

But since the two of them entered the house today, his young wife has not shown up.

After Zhao Yonggeng flattered Old Man Shen, he turned around and talked to Mr. Shen and his wife who were sitting on the stools.

After all, these two are the future father-in-law and mother-in-law of his nephew, and he cannot neglect them.

Looking at Chen Xiashu, who was younger than his nephew, Zhao Yonggeng felt a little embarrassed, but he had no choice but to speak.

"Brother Xia Shu has raised a good daughter. Our Changgui is also a down-to-earth man. Farm work is easy for him. He will definitely live a good life with Siyue in the future, right, Changgui?"

Zhao Yonggeng turned his head and looked at Zhao Changgui, wanting him to perform well in front of his father-in-law.

Zhao Changgui, whose face was full of vicissitudes, thought of Shen Siyue's tender little face, rubbed his hands unconsciously, and nodded frequently at Shen Xiashu and his wife.

"That's for sure, Dad and Mom, just don't worry." He was so good that he called Chen Xiashu and Li Xiang mom before they even got married.

"Okay, okay." Chen Xiashu felt a little uncomfortable being called dad and mom by someone two years older than him, and could only force a smile in response.

"puff......"

Just when everyone was feeling a little awkward, Wang Huilian suddenly laughed out loud.

It was so funny to see Zhao Changgui, with his wrinkled face, calling the second brother and his wife "dad and mom".

After she finished laughing, she saw that everyone was looking at her, her face froze, and she quickly tried to make amends: "Changgui and our April are a perfect match, really a perfect match, haha."

Chen Chunshu turned around and rolled his eyes at her. If she couldn't speak, she should shut up. If she ruined this marriage, he would not forgive her!

Wang Huilian was a little angry that her master was so disrespectful in front of outsiders. She glared at Chen Chunshu and turned away.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become dull, Zhao Yonggeng quickly told Old Man Shen the purpose of his visit.

"The last time Changgui met our April, he was very satisfied. We elders also agreed. This time, I came here just to discuss it with you and set a date to get the matter done. It's a good thing for both of us, right?"

This was exactly what Old Man Shen meant, but he still pretended to be reluctant to let go of his granddaughter: "Siyue is still young and honest. I was planning to keep her for a few more years."

Zhao Yonggeng knew exactly what was going on, but he still followed what Old Man Shen said and said, "Changgui is a few years older. After April, he will definitely love her more. Big brother, just put your mind at ease!"

Then the two of them talked back and forth, which made Zhao Changgui, who was standing next to them, very anxious.

We had agreed on this a long time ago, why are you taking so long?
