"Give me the 㱕?"

"Um."

Zhou Yuheng's ears turned red. Xu Qingluo looked down at the things in the bag. When he saw what it was, his face was filled with surprise and delight.

"Where did you buy it from?"

"I asked a friend to bring it from abroad. It happened that he went to Shanghai to visit relatives yesterday."

Zhou Yuheng has many friends, from all walks of life, including children of high-ranking officials, some of whom are friends he met on his own or former comrades-in-arms.

It's just that Xu Qingluo, as a girl, didn't have much contact with these children of wealthy families and high-ranking officials, so her parents deliberately prevented her from having any contact with them.

However, as long as she wanted something, she could just tell Xu's mother, and Xu's mother would ask her colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to bring it for her, so she didn't need to worry about it.

"Thank you. I like it."

This gift touched Xu Qingluo's heart, and Zhou Yuheng was also happy to see that she liked it.

The two of them were very affectionate, and it was obvious that they were willing to do this. After seeing this, the four elders looked at each other, and then their eyes were filled with smiles and relief.

The matchmaker smiled even more happily when she saw this scene. She knew at a glance that she would receive a lot of red envelopes from the employer for her work today.

"Comrade Xu Qingluo and Comrade Zhou Yuheng are a perfect match, and their free love is a match made in heaven."

The matchmaker promoted the progress of the conversation between the two families at a critical moment, and Xu's mother asked the two children to sit down and listen together.

"Xiao Heng, Xiao Luo, come and sit down."

Xu Qingluo went to sit next to Xu's father and mother, Zhou Yuheng also sat next to his parents, and the matchmaker saw that it was almost time, so she started to get down to business.

Everyone sat down, and the matchmaker began to play her role. In a few words, she guided Zhou's father and mother and Xu's father and mother into the matter of dowry and gift.

"Lao Xu, Wen Yun, we plan to give 1,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, a watch, a bicycle, a sewing machine, a radio, and thirty-two legs."

"After we get married, we will give the two children 2,000 yuan as a settlement allowance. What do you think?"

Zhou's father and mother expressed their own thoughts. The betrothal gift given by the Zhou family was similar to what Xu's father and mother had guessed.

After all, Mr. Zhou is in a high position of power, and the marriage between the two families this time has already involved the interests of certain people, so we should keep a low profile where we should.

Father Xu nodded, then looked at Mother Xu, who also expressed her own thoughts.

"Of course it's a good thing. A marriage between two families will inevitably make people wary. We should keep a low profile where we should."

Zhou's father and mother knew in their hearts that Xu's father and mother would definitely agree. They were all good friends who knew each other well and were all reasonable people, so there was no need to make many things too clear.

"Our family gave 888 yuan as dowry, plus a watch, two new quilts, two new pillows, and new clothes for the two children. Our family paid for everything."

"If there are any additional pieces of furniture that need to be filled in, our Xu family will also pay for it."

Zhou's father and mother were also satisfied. This money would be given to the two children anyway, so it was enough as long as they could save face.

After discussing the dowry and gift, the two families also began to discuss the time and arrangements for the wedding ceremony.

"This is what Lao Zhou and I thought. We will have a banquet in Haishi first and invite our neighbors, colleagues, relatives and friends to come and have some fun."

"Then let's go to Kyoto together and have a big party. What do you think?"
