Everyone nodded after hearing the captain's words.
"Congratulations!! Kim Jong-un."
"Yes, yes, congratulations!"
"Sanpang, we're waiting to drink your wedding wine!"
Amidst the congratulations from the group, Li San said to them...
"Thank you, thank you! You absolutely must come to the wedding banquet; I promise there will be plenty of food."
"Don't worry, I will definitely go."
Several other women, who liked to join in the fun, followed behind. Originally, there were only the eldest brother, his wife, and Sanpang himself, but the group expanded to more than a dozen people as they walked towards Wei Mo's house.
Other villagers saw this and came to check, resulting in a large and large crowd gathering.
When they arrived at Wei Mo's courtyard, it was already surrounded by people.
Li Dazhuang and Xu Meijuan were both carrying gifts, while Li Sanpao also gave a red envelope as a betrothal gift.
The three people walked into the courtyard. Although the villagers were curious about this, they didn't want to disturb them.
They could only wait for news outside the courtyard, chatting as they awaited the final result.
Wei Mo, peering out the window, saw a large number of people approaching and quickly called out.
"They're here! They're here! Uncle Dazhuang, Uncle Sanpang, and Aunt Meijuan are all here!"
With Wei Mo's startled cry, everyone looked out the window at the three people walking toward the door.
Everyone was very happy, while Wang Ling felt a mix of joy and nervousness.
As the three knocked on the door, Wang Zhenhua opened it.
"Dazhuang, Sanpang is here! Come in, come in! Hey, Meijuan, you're here too! Come in, come in!"
The three of them went inside and quickly greeted the old man and Grandma Yu.
"Uncle Yu, Aunt Yu. Hello!"
Seeing his younger brother's nervous expression, Li Dazhuang patted him on the back.
"Hey, what are you saying? Call them godfather and godmother."
Li Dazhuang's meaning was clear, and even the old man and Grandma Yu were amused by Li Sanpang's appearance.
"Hey, we're all family now, come in, come in and let's talk,"
Then the three were ushered into Wang Zhenhua's main house.
As everyone sat down in the main room, Li Dazhuang was momentarily at a loss for words. Wei Mo, standing beside him, spoke up.
"Uncle Sanpang, are you here to marry my Aunt Wang Ling? Why aren't you wearing new clothes or a sedan chair?"
Hearing Wei Mo's words, everyone laughed. Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu said to Wei Mo,
"Grandson, you've only just gone on a blind date, how can it have gotten to that point yet? But thinking about it, it should be soon, right, Dazhuang? What do you think?"
As Wei Mo started the conversation, the others chimed in.
Li Dazhuang also spoke to Grandma Yu and Grandpa Yu,
"Aunt Yu, Uncle Yu, we'll listen to you. Whatever your requests, we'll try our best to fulfill them. You can also decide the date. Is that alright?"
"We don't need to say anything more about our relationship, Dazhuang. I understand what you mean. Let's just figure it out ourselves. As long as the two children are doing well in the future, that's all that matters."
After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Li Sanpang and Wang Ling beside him. Wang Ling had already lowered her head shyly and didn't dare to look up at all, while Li Sanpang also blushed and sat awkwardly to the side.
He scratched his head awkwardly, without saying a word, and handed the red envelope he was holding to Grandma Yu.
It seems the two of them are really interested in each other, and even Li Sanpang is the same way, otherwise he wouldn't have come to propose marriage.
Since that's the case, the old man continued to speak.
"Then let's try to get married after the New Year. Consider today our engagement. What do you say? Dazhuang, you're the eldest brother, like a father to me. Sanpang, do you agree to let your brother make the decision?"
After the old man finished asking the question, Li Sanpao nodded.
"I'll listen to my brother and make the decisions."
His meaning was clear, and Li Dazhuang was especially happy, feeling that he had finally given an explanation to his deceased parents. He then spoke up,
"Then let's listen to the old man. How about the eighth day of the first lunar month? It's an auspicious date. If we count the days, there's still more than half a month left, which is enough time for us to prepare."
That's how it is in the countryside. Back then, people would get married very quickly after a blind date. There was no time to cultivate feelings or anything like that.
Fortunately, both of them seemed quite satisfied. The old man, standing to the side, thought for a moment, looked at his daughter, and said...
"Wang Ling, do you agree?"
Wang Ling's head was almost touching the ground. However, she still raised her head and nodded, completely concealing her shy face from everyone.
Since Wang Ling agreed, the old man spoke up directly.
"Alright, Dazhuang, you guys prepare these next few days, and we'll prepare too. We'll officially get married on the eighth day of the new year. What are your requirements? Just be good to my goddaughter, that's all. Sanpang, can you do that?"
Seeing the old man's question, the somewhat serious and shy Li Sanpang raised his head. Hearing that the old man hadn't asked at all, he felt he had married a good man and quickly nodded.
"Uncle Yu, don't worry, I will definitely treat her well."
Upon hearing Li Sanpang's words, Wang Ling was completely unable to lift her head.
Li Dazhuang quickly greeted the old man and said.
"Alright, Uncle Yu, then it's settled."
The old man nodded.
"Okay, it's settled then. Let's all get ready."
Although the old man didn't want anything, Li Sanpang and Li Dazhuang wouldn't remain completely uninvolved, otherwise it would be tantamount to looking down on each other.
Now that the matter was settled, Li Dazhuang stood up after chatting with the old man's family for a long time.
"Uncle Yu, we'll take our leave now. We'll go home and prepare for his wedding, fix the house, and get some new bedding. After all, it's a wedding. Just let us know what you need."
"I've also managed to collect some tickets for Kim Jong-un."
Hearing Li Dapang's words, the old man nodded in satisfaction and said,
"You can arrange it as you see fit."
The family saw Li Dazhuang, Li Sanpang, and Aunt Meijuan to the outside of the courtyard. Li Dazhuang quickly spoke to the old man,
"Uncle Yu, you should go back now. We'll wait until after the New Year to let them get married."
The old man nodded.
"Okay."
The villagers who had been watching the spectacle hadn't left yet, and seeing that the two families had reached an agreement, they quickly offered their congratulations.
"Oh, Mr. Yu, that's wonderful."
"Congratulations, old village chief."
"Congratulations, Li Sanpang."
Amidst the congratulations, the old man and the captain also offered their congratulations.
"Thank you, thank you. You must come to our wedding banquet!"
The old man chatted with the villagers for a while, while the others turned and went back into the house. Wang Ling gradually raised her head, her face now flushed with embarrassment.
Wang Zhenhua and Qian Manman were still teasing her from the side.
"Sister Meiling is going to be a bride."
"Yes, Wang Ling, just tell me what you want, and I'll prepare things for your dowry."
As if he had just thought of something, Wang Zhenhua quickly ran to his cabinet, rummaged through the drawers and found the fake diamond headdress that Wei Mo had given him before, and handed it to Wang Ling.
"Wang Ling, this is your wedding gift from your older sister."
Wang Ling looked at the butterfly fluttering its wings, the diamonds on it particularly eye-catching. Although they were fake diamonds, who in this era could recognize their value?
