When the Zhao couple returned home at noon, they were relieved to see how much their daughter had bought that morning. They had thought their daughter really hadn't bought anything at all!

Seeing the dress and sandals Lin Yuan bought for Zhao Huanhuan, they praised Lin Yuan for her good taste, and Lin Yuan smiled shyly, a rare occurrence for her.

Zhao Huanhuan showed the receipt for the watch to her parents. They had just seen Lin Yuan's watch and said that the two of them had made a good choice. The watch was very beautiful, and they said that their section chief had also bought the same one as Lin Yuan's a few days ago and was very happy with it every day.

Lin Yuan smiled upon hearing this and once again sincerely thanked her uncle and aunt.

Their daughter is leaving tomorrow, so the couple took the afternoon off work and took her to visit Zhao Huanhuan's second uncle's house so that Lin Yuan could get to know a relative.

My second uncle had already told my second aunt that they would arrange a meal for them when they came over. So, that evening, the whole family had dinner at my second uncle's house, and Lin Yuan also had a drink with my second uncle and Zhao Fugui.

Zhang Jinhua also told Huanhuan and Lin Yuan about their wedding date and discussed with her second uncle about sending Huanhuan to the wedding.

There are some customs associated with weddings here. Generally, it's customary to marry three and give away four. Aunts don't get married, aunts don't get given away, and uncles can be given away from both sides.

The groom's family sends three people to the wedding; the aunt cannot be part of the wedding procession.

The bride's family sends four people to accompany her; the aunt cannot be part of the wedding procession.

They spent the entire evening discussing these matters during dinner. In the end, Zhang Jinhua and her second brother and sister decided on four people to accompany the bride: her second uncle, her eldest cousin from her eldest uncle's family, and an uncle and an older brother from the Zhao family. This way, they had four people.

Lin Yuan said he doesn't have many relatives, and he will go back to discuss the marriage proposal with his parents.

Zhang Jinhua agreed.

By the time they get home, everything here will be settled.

The wedding banquet was set for the 24th, and the next day, the Zhao couple planned to book the venue at their workplace cafeteria, which also had a chef and would include two meals.

Knowing that they would need money for their wedding, the second uncle secretly slipped five hundred yuan to his second sister before she and her husband left.

This was something my second uncle and his wife had agreed upon.
