But the villagers all knew that today was a meeting between two elders, so they didn't want to join in the fun.

"Okay, we've eaten and drunk, let's go home and cook, we have to go back to work in the afternoon!" Wang Cuihua said with a smile, and prepared to leave with everyone.

Zhu Shizhen said politely: "Okay, I won't keep you for dinner today. I'll treat everyone to wedding wine and meat after we set the date."

"Okay, okay, we'll wait." The villagers all agreed happily.

After all the villagers left, Zhu Shizhen finally had time to greet Grandma Jiang politely.

"Yun Chen, didn't you say you would only buy a bicycle? Why did you buy a sewing machine and an electric fan as well? Isn't this a waste of money?"

"The most important thing is that you two take this money and live a good life in the future. You have to know that after you get married and have children, raising a child in the city is not the same as in the countryside."

"Listen to me, Yunchen. When you go back, take these two big items back and return them. Don't waste money like this. As long as you two live a good life, we elders will be happier than anything else."

Jiang Yunchen smiled and said, "That was originally agreed upon, but my grandmother said that Xia Zhi cannot be wronged. We can't arrange for the three turns and one ring, but the three major items must be arranged. Instead of buying a watch, it's better to replace it with an electric fan so that the whole family can use it."

"Especially when the whole family is resting under the jujube tree, the yard is stuffy and hot. Once the electric fan is turned on, whether it is to enjoy the cool air, eat, or play chess, it will be much more comfortable."

Qiao Qiping: "No need, no need. We country folk don't need such expensive things. This palm leaf fan is fine. It can still keep us cool."

"There's also this sewing machine. No one in our family knows how to use it. If there's a hole in a piece of clothing, you can just thread some thread and sew it up yourself. Listen to your grandma Zhu, and return these two big items when you go back, so that you'll have money to support your children in the future."

Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, future grandpa. When Yunchen and Xiazhi have a child, Yunchen is still young and can work hard to make money. The child won't suffer any loss. It's not reasonable to return these things after buying them with great difficulty."

"You have worked so hard to raise Xia Zhi so well, so we have to show our appreciation. Xia Zhi is so outstanding, it is Yun Chen's blessing to marry her. We, the Jiang family, should thank you for raising Xia Zhi to be so outstanding."

"These things are like this, we can't push them back and forth anymore. And this is a little gift from our Jiang family. I also wanted to bring good luck, so I prepared 268 yuan. I hope you don't mind it."

Grandma Jiang said this, took out an envelope from her pocket and handed it to Qiao Dashan.

Qiao Dashan was very nervous at the time, and waved his hands quickly, saying, "No, no. If we had followed Yun Chen's advice, we would have accepted the betrothal money. But now look at all the bags you bought, we can't accept the betrothal money anymore."

Jiang Yunchen took the envelope and forced it to Qiao Dashan, saying, "The betrothal money is a gift, Uncle Qiao must accept it."

Qiao Dashan's hands were shaking as he held the envelope.

He has grown up and is almost a grandfather, but he has never had more than a hundred dollars in his hand.

Even though he sold ginseng last time during the summer solstice, he didn't dare take the money and just took a look at it.

Now that he has these two hundred yuan in his hand, he doesn't know how nervous he is.

“This…this…you…”

Qiao Xiazhi, who was standing by, was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry when watching this pushing and shoving scene.

If she doesn't show up again, the issue of the bride price will have to be postponed.

"Alright, Dad, since this betrothal money is a gift, just accept it. The fan is Yun Chen's gift to our family. Take it, and everyone will be more comfortable when they rest in this yard in the future."

"As for sewing machines, grandma, my mom, and my sister-in-law can all learn how to sew. Once they learn how, it will be convenient for us to make clothes as a family in the future."

"As for the children, it's still too early. We will work hard to make money in the future. Isn't making money for the family to live a better life? If you don't want this and that, how can you live a better life?"

Grandma Jiang likes to listen to Xia Zhi talk. When Xia Zhi said this, Grandma Jiang smiled so hard that her teeth showed and her eyes were not visible. "See, our Xia Zhi is still the one who thinks."

Seeing that Xia Zhi said so, Grandma Zhu Shizhen had no choice but to stop refusing, and Qiao Dashan had no choice but to accept the betrothal money.

Naturally, it will be handed over to my mother for temporary safekeeping later.

Anyway, it’s no matter how much it is, they will add some more to Xia Zhi’s dowry later.

The two grandmothers were chatting in the yard, and when the family gathered together for dinner, they started talking about some things about the wedding banquet.

Any customs on both sides should be discussed in advance to avoid confusion.

But they are in the city and the countryside, not far from each other, so there is not much difference.

As for the banquet, Grandma Jiang specially explained her family situation.

This will save you from having to find out you were misunderstood on the wedding banquet day.

Grandma Jiang only has one son, Jiang Yunchen's father. Jiang Yunchen's mother was sold to the Jiang family by her family, so she is naturally no longer related to her grandparents.

Originally, Jiang Yunchen's grandfather also had brothers, but they died in the war in their early years, and in the end only Jiang Yunchen's grandfather was left.

Grandma Jiang was rescued by Grandpa Jiang, and they got married after she promised herself to him, so it can be said that the Jiang family has no relatives outside the family.

If this banquet is held, there might only be some neighbors of the Jiang family and some of Jiang Yunchen's classmates and friends.
