Chapter 242: Confirming the Engagement Process]
Qin Jiaguo looked at Qin Yian and said worriedly: "My dear, you are still injured. Can you heal in 10 days?"
Lu Jinghe slapped his head in frustration. He was too anxious. "It's my fault
for being too excited. An An, let's change it to the next auspicious day. There's no rush. Your health is more important. We'll get engaged after you get better. We still have plenty of time."
"Don't worry, it will heal. You're fine. This wound will only look minor. It will heal in 10 days, and I don't need to be busy. It's just an engagement. It's not as busy and tedious as a wedding. You can take care of it, and I'll be there when the time comes. Just sit there and don't move. Is that right? It's certain."
Qin Yian touched her waist. Zhao Yuxin had already been shot. Her wound had completed its mission. She would recover slowly in the future.
She decided to wash the wound with spring water, drink more spiritual spring water, eat more fruits in the space, and go to the mall to buy some good medicine to cooperate with it. Smuggling out a little bit, she and her father can get better quickly
. Xia Xiulan saw that her daughter's attitude was firm and what she said made sense. At worst, she would not move and just sit there. After all, the engagement was just a witness between relatives and it was enough to show up. There was no need to rush for other things, so she made a thorough decision.
"Okay, then this time, it's settled. The engagement is not as busy as the marriage. It's between our own family. The girl just needs to put on new clothes and sit there. Ten days is enough. I'll make a note of it first." "
Okay, then this time."
The others also agreed.
Lu Jinghe secretly decided to take charge of everything, think carefully, and was determined not to let Yi'an get tired.
Xia Xiulan wrote down the time in her notebook, and the family meeting continued. As she wrote, she said,
"According to our custom, the two of you should prepare a token exchange that day to confirm it. Let me remind you that some things are not suitable to be taken out when there are so many people. We can just prepare a common exchange, such as a purse, etc., or something that impressed each other and is of great significance to both of you."
Of great significance? Qin Yian immediately thought of the things they had when they first met in Beijing.
Qin Yian had an idea and raised his hand and said, "I've thought about it. Let's keep it secret for now and reveal it on the day of the engagement."
"I've thought about it too." Lu Jinghe and Qin Yian smiled at each other, "Keep it secret for now."
Xia Xiulan, who was presiding over the meeting, continued,
"Okay, this agenda is confirmed. Then the next item is clothes. Everyone in the family will have to wear new clothes, and they must be suitable for the festive day of engagement. Especially the clothes for you two newlyweds are especially important."
Grandma Zhao Lijuan said, "I will go to the department store with you tomorrow, Xiulan, to have a look."
"I don't need to buy anything. I'll just wear the tweed coat that Jinghe bought for me before. It's still new and I haven't worn it before, and it happens to be bright red."
Qin Yian finished speaking, and Lu Jinghe immediately said, "I don't need to either. The navy blue tweed coat that Anan bought for me before is very suitable. I haven't worn it either. On the day of our engagement, we wore the clothes that each other bought, and it felt great."
"Okay, we can put the clothes issue aside. The next item is where the engagement takes place. Should it be held at our house, in the old house, or somewhere else? What do you think?" Xia Xiulan looked at the two children and asked.
Qin Yian looked at Mr. Lu, who was very nervous about this question and hesitated to speak. He wanted to say the old house, but after thinking for
a while, he said, "Then we can hold it in our two-story courtyard house in Shichahai. Jinghe and I plan to use it as our wedding room, so it's most suitable to hold it there." Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. He smiled on his tense face and slowly ate the hot beer in front of him.
When this place was mentioned, not only Mr. Lu was happy, but others also had no objections.
Qin Jiaguo nodded happily:
"Okay, then we will go and clean up and arrange it in the next few days to see what is missing and make up for it as soon as possible. Pots, bowls, pans, tables, chairs and benches must be prepared. Whether they are ready or not, this matter will be left to our grandfathers."
Xia Xiulan put down her pen and clapped her hands, saying: "Okay, the general direction is basically like this, so now things are almost done, let's discuss the menu, and after this is confirmed, we can further refine the division of labor and basically start the action."
Next, one person ate a bowl of hot beer, and after one person gave a suggestion for a dish, the dishes were also finalized, and twelve dishes were confirmed.
Xia Xiulan sorted out all the things from beginning to end, arranged a time sequence, and formed a process.
After getting everyone's unanimous approval, Xia Xiulan took the notebook and began to divide the work. Everyone else had work to do, even Old Man Qin had work to do, and he had to make phone calls to inform his family.
Only Qin Yian had no work to do, oh no, she was given a task, to sit and recuperate, and worry less.
Okay, no work, no work, she can play alone.
So, Qin Yian spent the next ten days like this. After
returning to Lu's house with Lu Jinghe, Old Man Lu learned Qin Zhengyi's routines completely, and added a little more on this basis.
That's right, Grandpa Lu gave them a property and a passbook, the same as her grandfather's, except this time the house was a courtyard house, and there was 10,000 yuan in the passbook, 1,000 more than her grandfather gave her, and it was handed directly to her.
Grandpa Lu also said that he would give her other treasures after the marriage.
Qin Yian smiled knowingly and understood that this was Grandpa Lu comparing with her grandfather. People can't escape comparison when they get old! Qin Yian did
as Lu Jinghe said, opened her purse, and accepted everything.
The first day ended with going to the bank to withdraw money and deposit money, and going to the housing management office to transfer the ownership.
The last four days of the first five days were much more boring. Everyone else was busy, but Lu Jinghe was too busy to rest. He had to work and take care of the engagement banquet. He refused to take a break when asked to do so. He was happy to do so and immersed in the joy of work.
Qin Yian could only read a book and eat something. Occasionally, when he couldn't sit still, he would watch them work, do some work within his ability, make tea for them to calm their nerves and relieve fatigue, get some herbs for foot soaking activities at night, and play some storytelling on the radio to relieve fatigue.
In the next five days, the wound gradually healed under the nourishment of medicine and space. Qin Yian was bored at home, so he went to work. Work was easy, he just needed to sit there and do some work, and there were people to chat with at work. His family also agreed, and he finally got rid of the boring days.
At the same time, during the five days at work, there was nothing to do at home, and his family was busy. Since there was nothing to do, Qin Yian found some work for himself privately, and simply stayed in his room, went to the system mall to exchange some pigs, cattle, sheep and rabbits, exchanged some grass seeds and herb seeds, and began to take care of the mountain in the space.
This can be done by just her speaking and letting Lu Bao do it, or by using her consciousness and brain, and treating it as a farm game.
A mountain became her new toy, and the mountain forest ranch began to take shape. Under the nourishment of space and the supply of spiritual energy, the animals on the mountain grew wildly in a few days, becoming fat, thick, and fit.
She caught a rabbit and roasted it, it was so delicious that it made your tongue fall off.
