An Qingsong and Hu Yuelan unconsciously walked into the grove, a place that held special significance for both of them.

"Yuelan, I'm so happy! You're finally my boyfriend, and you'll be my wife in the future!"

"Qingsong, I'm so happy too! I've finally waited for this!"

An Qingsong hugged Hu Yuelan tightly.

"Yuelan, I've been waiting for so long too!"

Hu Yuelan unconsciously reached out and hugged An Qingsong tightly.

"Qingsong, I think about you every day!"

An Qingsong called out affectionately.

"Moon Orchid!"

"Um!"

An Qingsong cupped Hu Yuelan's face in his hands and kissed her red lips.

"Hmm~"

While An Qingsong and Hu Yuelan were deeply in love, Shi Meiling also began to discuss things with Hu Ziqiang and Tao Yourong.

"You Rong, Zi Qiang, we're all acquaintances now. Qing Song and Yue Lan have already wasted so much time."

"Why don't we skip the engagement and just let them get married? What are your thoughts, you and your spouse?"

Hu Ziqiang asked.

"Meiling, tell me what kind of betrothal gifts you plan to give?"

Shi Meiling started counting on her fingers.

"First of all, my family has already separated. Yuelan married into the family and is now living her own life, only cooking for the two of them!"

Tao Yourong spoke up when this topic came up.

"They separated their family so early?"

Shi Meiling waved her hand.

"Well, it doesn't matter whether it's early or late. It's better to separate the family sooner rather than later, so that the brothers won't have any grudges against each other!"

Hu Ziqiang was quite happy.

"Yes, Meiling is right. It's good that the family is separated. We can talk about anything now. From this point of view, it's definitely easier for Yuelan to marry into the family!"

Shi Meiling nodded and continued speaking.

"Yes, Qingsong has a room at home. They don't want to move out, so they still live with us. They just eat separately, and Qingsong has his own kitchen!"

Hu Ziqiang and his wife both nodded.

"This is good!"

"As for the bride price, I plan to give Yuelan 166 yuan!"

"Okay, this amount is acceptable, it's not too little!"

"Then the bedding is the same as for the third brother, a total of six beds!"

"Can!"

Shi Meiling emphasized this point.

"Let me make it clear first, the third brother's bride price was paid with his own money, I didn't contribute any. As for Yuelan's bride price, it depends on Qingsong's opinion!"

Hu Ziqiang smiled.

“We know, but look, you even emphasized it. Do you think I would let you pay a thousand? I heard that Qingbai gave a thousand as a bride price.”

Shi Meiling smiled too.

"Heh, I have to explain this to you guys, otherwise you'll think I'm being unfair to those brothers, and that wouldn't be good!"

Hu Ziqiang and Tao Yourong, a married couple, both smiled and shook their heads.

"Who doesn't know that you, Shi Meiling, have a great reputation and treat all the children in your family equally?"

"Haha, then I'll take that as a compliment!"

Matchmaker Wang only spoke after everyone had finished speaking.

"Meiling has made her conditions clear. Ziqiang and Yourong, what are your thoughts?"

Tao Yourong nodded.

"Okay, it's pretty much the same anyway. I don't have any major objections. The key is that I know Meiling isn't the type to mistreat her daughter-in-law!"

Hu Ziqiang nodded as well.

"I don't really disagree with anything. I'm basically satisfied. Anyway, our two villages aren't far apart. What You Rong said is the main reason: Mei Ling doesn't mistreat her daughter-in-law!"

"Of course! I believe I've treated my daughter-in-law quite well!"

Matchmaker Wang looked at both sides.

"Alright, since no one has any objections, then give me Qingsong and Yuelan's birth dates and times, and I'll go back and calculate an auspicious date for them!"

Shi Meiling and Tao Yourong handed the child's birth date and time to Wang the matchmaker.

Shi Meiling muttered to herself.

Why aren't the second son and Yuelan back yet? I've already finished talking to them.

"By the way, Qingsong, I have to tell you, Wu Pandi and Wang Jidong are already married!"

Although they were married, the brigade leader made them carry manure for a year; they didn't have to do any other work, their only responsibility was carrying manure!

An Qingsong gave a mocking smile.

"Hehe, that's perfect! I think one year is too short, it should be at least five years!"

Hu Yuelan was amused.

"Haha, then they probably won't be able to sleep soundly because it smells so bad!"

An Qingsong waved his hand.

"Yuelan, let's not talk about them anymore, it's bad luck. I'll give you something!"

Hu Yuelan looked at him with anticipation.

"Qingsong, what are you going to give me?"

An Qingsong took out a small wooden carving from his pocket.

“This wood carving was carved by my father. Everyone in our family has one, so of course yours can’t be missing out. I had my father carve it for you!”

Hu Yuelan happily accepted the small snake-shaped wooden carving.

"Qingsong, this is so beautiful, I really like it!"

Hu Yuelan suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. Although she knew she shouldn't ask, she couldn't help but ask anyway.

"Does that mean Wu Pandi has one too?"

An Qingsong affectionately hooked the tip of Hu Yuelan's nose with his finger.

"Haha, I smell something sour, Yuelan, can you smell it too?"

Hu Yuelan blushed and glared at An Qingsong.

"Fine, don't tell me then!"

An Qingsong quickly hugged his partner to comfort her.

"Hehe, I'm just teasing you. I'll tell you, actually, she's the only one in our family who doesn't have it!"

It's funny, actually. My dad never even considered carving it for her, and I never even thought of telling her, so she has absolutely no idea!
