Chapter 28 Chapter 28

Gu Zhao opened his mouth and looked at Ye Jianguo, but he couldn't call him father-in-law for a long time, and his face turned red for a long time.

Ye Tan laughed in his heart. He secretly cheered his father-in-law and mother-in-law for happiness. Only then did he realize that his embarrassment was over.

It’s not that Gu Zhao didn’t want to, but the words were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn’t utter them. They had obviously communicated with each other many times in private, but why did he fail to meet his expectations when the time came? The word “father-in-law” was stuck in his throat and he couldn’t utter it. Gu Zhao was so anxious that his neck turned red.

Ye Jianguo patted Gu Zhao on the shoulder and told him not to worry.

They were all men, and everyone had come through this together. He took Gu Zhao's hand and patted it, "Little Gu, my daughter has been spoiled by my husband and me since she was little. She has a bit of a temper. I hope you'll be more tolerant of her in the future. If she does anything wrong, bring her back to me and I'll tell her off."

Ye Jianguo's words meant that he agreed, so today's proposal became a ninety-nine-step process.

Gu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, the joy in his heart showing on his face. He was so excited that he couldn't hold back the words on his lips. He nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, father-in-law. Xiao Tan is very good. I don't think she has a bad temper. I think she is good in every way."

Lin Qiuyun almost rolled her eyes at her son's lack of self-control, but she managed to hold it back in front of her in-laws.

Thinking that his father was the same way back then, so silly, she sighed in her heart.

Mingzhi, our son is getting married soon. Please bless him from heaven with a happy marriage and a smooth life.

Zhao Xiumei said happily, "That's great! A golden boy and a beautiful girl have become a perfect match. No one could be more compatible than them. Anyone who sees this would say it's a match made in heaven."

The marriage was settled and both parties had no objections, so Zhao Xiumei and Xu Huiling discussed good days for the next few days.

Zhao Xiumei: "Xu Meizi, you know that the child is a bit pressed for time and will have to return to the army in two days. We thought it would be better to let the two children take advantage of these two days to get the matter done. What do you think, Xu Meizi?"

Xu Huiling and Ye Jianguo naturally had nothing to say.

Lin Qiuyun took out the list of betrothal gifts she had prepared and gave it to Xu Huiling to review. "Sister Xu, take a look. If there's anything you'd like to add, just let me know. You only have one daughter, Xiaotan, and I only have one child, Xiaozhao. Even though this wedding is urgent, we can't be careless. We have to do it well and with great fanfare."

When Lin Qiuyun said this, Xu Huiling felt happy regardless of whether she was sincere or not.

There is always a lot of bargaining between the two parties when getting engaged, but it is rare to see someone like Lin Qiuyun directly asking for additional things.

Just this point made Xu Huiling feel happy. She gave her in-laws a score of nine in her heart. As for the remaining one point, it depended on how well her daughter lived after marriage.

No matter how good it looks at first, you will only know whether it is good or not after living together.

The in-laws were kind and generous, and Xu Huiling was not a stingy person, so she just glanced at the gift list. Other fruits, cakes and meats took up most of the page, and below that she saw that the four major items of three turns and one ring were all available.

There is also a refrigerator, which is a rare item. Gu Zhao mentioned it before, but I didn’t expect that he really remembered it and even wrote it down in the gift list.

In addition to these gifts, at the bottom was written a betrothal gift of 666.66 yuan.

Xu Huiling was amazed: "This, this is much bigger."

She thought the Gu family was generous, but she didn't expect them to be so generous. The total betrothal gift and the money spent on it would be close to two thousand yuan.

Lin Qiuyun waved her hand, not looking distressed at all: "What's the big deal? It's all for the two children to use in their future. As long as they can use it, it won't be much."

Xu Huiling still felt that it was too much: "How can this be good?" She was a little undecided and turned to show Ye Jianguo the gift list.

Ye Jianguo looked carefully and felt that this relative was really generous and really liked his daughter. The betrothal gift is a gift for marrying someone's daughter. The larger the betrothal gift, the more it represents the man's regard for the woman.

This was the Gu family's sincerity, but they couldn't just accept it. Ye Jianguo closed the gift list and said, "I think we should buy the bicycle here as a dowry for Xiao Tan."

Ye Tan looked at his father: "Dad, do we have bicycle tickets?"

Ye Yanlin also looked at him with shining eyes. He had always wanted a bicycle.

Ye Jianguo ignored his son's expectant look and nodded, saying, "I got this as a bonus from my superiors some time ago." He had originally planned to buy a big item for the family, but now that his daughter is getting married, he decided to give it to her as a dowry.

Anyway, their house is not far from the factory, and it doesn’t take much time to walk back and forth. They can buy a bicycle later when they have tickets.

As for my son, he doesn’t even have a wife to come back, so what does he need a bicycle for?

Lin Qiuyun declined at first, but seeing that the couple insisted, she agreed.

Talking about furniture, he said, "When Gu Zhao returns to the army, Xiao Tan will definitely have to accompany him and won't be able to stay at home for a few days, so I decided not to prepare furniture for now and just change the bed at home.

When the time comes, prepare some extra money for them to take with them. After they go to the military housing assigned to them by the army, let them buy furniture for them. Is this okay, in-laws? "

Since the other party was generous with the betrothal gift, the Ye family naturally would not be too fussy about such a small matter.

While Ye Jianguo was looking at the gift list, Ye Tan took a peek and saw a sewing machine, and suddenly he felt itchy.

In her previous life, her family made their fortune in the clothing industry, and later on most of the industries involved were also in this field. She was influenced by her family since she was a child and was very interested in clothing design.

He even won the first prize in a fashion design competition when he was in school, so Ye Tan has certain hands-on skills.

She didn't even know if the old-fashioned sewing machine was easy to use.

If I were to accompany the army, how would I take the sewing machine with me after buying it now?

Are they letting me get on the train?

Or is it better not to buy it yet?

"Xiao Tan, Xiao Tan?"

Ye Tan came back to his senses: "Ah, what?"

Xu Huiling knew her daughter had been distracted the moment she saw her expression. "Why are you distracted, kid? Your Aunt Lin is asking you a question."

Ye Tan looked at Lin Qiuyun: "Aunt Lin, I'm sorry I was lost in thought just now. What did you want to ask me?"

Lin Qiuyun didn't mind at all and repeated, "Look, Xiao Zhao's vacation is almost over, and we're thinking of sending the engagement the day after tomorrow. Then you can go get the marriage certificate and hold the wedding banquet the next day. What do you think?"

Ye Tan was stunned: "The day after tomorrow?"

Lin Qiuyun thought she felt rushed. "Don't worry, child. Time is a little tight, but I will definitely make your wedding a grand one, no worse than others."

Ye Tan was certainly not worried about this. In fact, she thought that they could just get the marriage certificate directly and there was no need for any wedding banquets or anything like that.

But then I thought about the social interactions at that time and it would seem awkward not to hold a wedding banquet, so I didn't say anything.

Ye Tan looked at Gu Zhao, who had a calm expression but actually a pair of happy eyes, and couldn't help but smile, "What do you think?"

Of course, Gu Zhao didn't hesitate at all: "I think it's great." He could also get the marriage certificate now.

Ye Tan's eyes curved slightly, "Then I have no objection, this is good."

Finish your work quickly, and you can live a quiet life from now on.

If both parties agree, no one else will have any objections. Then the matter is settled and we can start eating.

Ye Jianguo drank too much this time.

Feng Xian's face also turned red from drinking. He usually doesn't talk much, but he becomes very talkative when he drinks too much.

He first pulled Ye Jianguo to talk about the days when he and Gu Zhao's father fought in the war together, and then talked about how naughty Gu Zhao was when he was a child.

At the end, Ye Jianguo also started to grumble, saying things like it was a pity that his elder brother was not around and he was reluctant to leave his daughter. His words were incoherent and the two of them were talking at cross purposes.

In the end, Ye Jianguo fell down first.

Feng Xian only calmed down after Zhao Xiumei gave him a cup of sugar water.

As the driver, Gu Zhao didn't drink a drop of alcohol today. He kept talking to Ye Tan secretly, and occasionally touched her little finger when no one was paying attention.

Seeing him having fun excitedly, Ye Tan thought that this childish side of men was a bit cute.

Just play with him.

You hooked me and I tickled you, and in the end I didn't know who broke the rules first, and our hands were tightly clasped together.
