Chapter 134 Engagement

This time, the Meng family sent six large items and also paid a betrothal gift of 1,888 to the Tian family.

The current market price of dowry is generally 288 yuan. If you are well-off, you may add 100 yuan, but it has never been increased several times.

The Tian couple were shocked again. They didn’t know whether to accept so much money or not.

Mr. Meng sighed, "Xiangxiang has suffered a lot during my absence. Money is only a part of one's body, and this little compensation is not worth mentioning at all."

Hu Honglian felt embarrassed when she brought it up. Her daughter had a very hard time at that time. Not only did she have to endure the contempt of others, but she also received a lot of pressure from her family.

Thinking of this, Hu Honglian began to blame herself. At that time, she only cared about herself and ignored her daughter's feelings.

Thinking that they would give back as much as the Meng family gave, Hu Honglian accepted the money after being persuaded.

At the door of the room, Tian Xiang stood and looked for a while, then asked Meng Chengan, "Do you want to come to my room and sit down?"

There are too many people today, and the small hall is full.

Meng Chengan: "Okay."

Tian Xiang turned around and went back to her room, and Meng Chengan followed her.

There were people at Tian Xiang's place before, but now everyone is outside chatting with the old man.

Tian Xiang's room is not big. It is filled with a bunk bed, a small desk, a box and a wardrobe.

Although it is very cramped, it is good to have an independent room. After all, housing is tight nowadays. During family reunion festivals like the Chinese New Year, children who have worked in the countryside return with their families, and many of them sleep in one room with several people.

Tian Xiang pulled out the only chair in the room for Meng Chengan to sit on, and she sat on the bed herself.

The door of the room was not closed, and the two of them were talking inside.

After Meng Cheng'an came in, he was obviously a little uncomfortable. He sat very properly and was even afraid to look at Tian Xiang.

Tian Xiang asked him, "What are you doing?"

Yesterday, when the two were rehearsing the program in the factory, they secretly kissed each other while no one was in the dressing room. When we met again today, how come he has become like the young man who was just beginning to fall in love?

Meng Cheng'an didn't know what was going on. When he came to this room, her scent was all around his nose, and he suddenly became nervous.

The two of them were silent for a while, and Meng Chengan took out a blue box from his pocket and handed it to her.

Tian Xiang: "What is this?"

"surface."

Tian Xiang: "Why did you give me two watches?" A watch is also one of the big items, and there is another one placed outside.

Meng Chengan: "This is what my grandmother gave to my granddaughter-in-law."

Well, the deceased grandmother Meng also left something for her granddaughter-in-law.

Tian Xiang took it and found that it was the pocket watch she saw last time, but this time it was in a box.

Last time, Tian Xiang said she would not accept it no matter what, because the thing looked too valuable.

But there is nothing we can do this time, after all, it was something grandma gave specially to her grandson’s wife.

Tian Xiang accepted it, thinking that she would pass it on to her daughter-in-law in the future.

She stuffed the box under her pillow, then went to the closet, opened it and took out two paper bags.

There were two paper bags, one contained two scarves, and the other contained two belts, a watch and a pair of leather shoes.

These are the gifts the woman prepared for the man today.

Originally, a watch was not necessary, all one needed was two sets of nice clothes. However, Tian Xiang felt that the clothes Meng Cheng'an wore on a daily basis were very good, and she couldn't buy such good ones, so she might as well change to something else.

Tian Xiang: "I know you have a watch, but this is a gift from me. You can wear it alternately from now on."

Meng Cheng'an's eyes sparkled. He took off the watch from his wrist and put it in his pocket, then asked Tian Xiang to put the new watch on him.

Tsk, this guy is quite capable!

Tian Xiang helped him put it on, and he said, "It looks good."

What she bought must be good-looking.

With the watch gift, Meng Chengan felt more at ease. He also looked at the books that Tian Xiang had placed on the table. Seeing that she had placed quite a few picture books, he asked with a smile, "Are these books good to read?"

Tian Xiang: "They are very interesting. Do you want to pick one and read it?"

Tian Xiang likes reading picture books.

Meng Cheng'an smiled and flipped through it, then pulled out Tian Xiang's book on physical fitness.

“Is this also a comic book?”

He felt something strange and was about to turn it over when Tian Xiang rushed over and snatched it away.

"This one isn't it, pick something else."

Meng Chengan: "Ah? I want to read this one."

"It's not a comic book anymore."

Tian Xiang was hidden behind his back so that he could not see her.

That was the training book she had bought from the old warehouse of the library in order to deal with Lu Feng.

I didn’t think it was a big deal before, but now I feel so stupid!

And she is not practicing now, she will go to the drama troupe later.

The more she hid, the more Meng Cheng'an wanted to see it.

The two of them started fighting over the book, and Tian Xiang was forced into a corner.

But at this point, Meng Cheng'an's focus was no longer on the book.

Seeing her smiling face and blushing cheeks, he wanted to kiss her.

As soon as Tian Xiang saw the man's dark eyes, she knew what he wanted to do and reminded him, "This is my home, the door is open."

Meng Cheng'an felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head and he quietly stepped aside.

Just then, someone called out for dinner, so Meng Cheng'an went out.

Today, the Tian family opened three tables and placed two small tables side by side in the living room. Ten people sat at them, all grown men who wanted to drink.

Then we put food on the desks in two rooms and borrowed some stools so that everyone could squeeze together to eat.

The two tables in the room were mostly occupied by women and children. They didn't drink and finished their meal quickly.

The table outside ate from after noon until around three in the afternoon, and the dishes had to be reheated twice.

Tian Xiang went out to check on him several times and whispered to Hu Honglian that the old man was old and she should not urge him to drink.

Hu Honglian nodded, she knew that.

Besides, given the old man’s status, no one dared to drink with him.

And Meng Chengan, he doesn’t eat much meat, so don’t serve him any food.

ah? Is there anyone who doesn’t like eating meat?

Although I was a little surprised, since my daughter said it, it must be true.

When the party was over, both the grandparents and grandchildren of the Meng family were drunk.

Fortunately, the old man was clear-headed. He told Tian Weibing that it was their family's fault that Meng Cheng'an's father could not come to the ceremony, and he would come and apologize as soon as he was free.

Guard Tian kept nodding.

They are scientific researchers, busy with national affairs, they all understand.

After the meal, the gift exchange was completed, and the two would become fiancé and fiancée from then on.

Old Master Meng was getting ready to go back, and asked the two guards who had been with him to hold his precious grandson.

Meng Cheng'an was so drunk that he could hardly walk, but he was still reluctant to leave. Seeing Tian Xiang standing at the door of the room, he staggered over, held his fiancée's shoulders, grinned at her, then shook his head and fell on her shoulder.

Tian Xiang quickly supported the man and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, she thought this man was going to kiss her in public, and she was almost scared to death.

In the end, Meng Cheng'an was carried away by two guards.
