Chapter 99 Sulan and Chen Xiaowei are engaged

Uncle Wu is very satisfied with Chen Xiaowei. Xiaojun, Xiaohai and Xiaomei are secretly looking at Chen Xiaowei.

Everyone in Sulan's family knows Chen Xiaowei and knows that Chen Xiaowei is now in the same place with Aunt Ma.

Aunt Ma made them cotton coats and trousers, which are thick and good-looking, which made them very happy.

Chen Xiaowei asked Xiaojun, Xiaohai and Xiaomei about their studies. When he asked them questions, they could answer them fluently, which shows that they are good children who study hard.

After sitting for another hour, Chen Xiaowei wanted Sulan to rest. After all, she just came back from the night shift and must be sleepy.

Uncle Wu was even more satisfied with Chen Xiaowei when he saw how considerate he was to Sulan.

Xiaojun, Xiaohai, and Xiaomei also felt sorry for their sister. When their sister worked the night shift, the three of them would take care of the housework at home and would not let Sulan do anything.

The family supported each other, moved forward together, and overcame difficulties. This was the family atmosphere that Chen Xiaowei liked.

When asked about their plans, the three of them said in unison: "Study hard and go to college

in the future." Chen Xiaowei was surprised. How could they go to college when they could only recommend going to college nowadays?

Xiaojun said, "Aunt Ma said that in a few years, everyone can take the college entrance exam, so we will prepare to take the exam then. I will go to work in the factory after I graduate from high school this year, save money, and go to college in the future."

Chen Xiaowei looked at the three children and saw that they were all people with plans, so he didn't have to worry about them.

When Sulan went to rest, Chen Xiaowei mentioned the engagement to Uncle Wu.

He said that there were no elders in his family and his uncle was in the army, so he could only come to the engagement himself, hoping that Uncle Wu would marry Sulan to him.

There was no rush to get married, he just wanted to be able to walk out with Sulan in a legitimate way.

Today he brought 500 yuan and asked Uncle Wu to take it. This was just the money he gave to Uncle Wu when they got engaged. When they got married, he would also buy three big items for Sulan.

Uncle Wu did not take the money, but agreed to their engagement.

He just said that Chen Xiaowei had given a lot before, and this time the 500 yuan could not be taken. He was marrying his daughter, not selling her.

He just asked Chen Xiaowei to find a matchmaker to come to his house to propose the marriage, let the neighbors know about it, and then exchange gifts, and it would be considered an engagement, and the proposal and engagement could be completed on the same day.

Since Chen Xiaowei's family did not have both parents, he could just come by himself.

Chen Xiaowei wrote down everything, said goodbye to Uncle Wu, and hurried home.

There was a matchmaker in the village who was a relative of Chen Xiaowei's family. He gave her some money and asked her to help him find a partner.

After inviting the matchmaker, Chen Xiaowei went to Yishi to buy gifts.

After Sulan had a good rest, Uncle Wu discussed with Sulan what kind of gift to prepare for Chen Xiaowei that would be considered decent.

Sulan said that she had already made a few sets of clothes for Chen Xiaowei, two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers, and knitted two thick sweaters.

These were enough.

Chen Xiaowei went to Yishi and bought Sulan some jewelry and two sets of ready-made clothes.

The next day, Chen Xiaowei arrived in Danjiang, went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy five pounds of meat, four loaves of bread, and a bag of candy.

Afterwards. Chen Xiaowei brought the matchmaker to Sulan's house to propose marriage and get engaged.

Chen Xiaowei arrived at Sulan's house with great fanfare. The neighbors ran out to see, only to see a 1.8-meter-tall soldier in military uniform standing at the door of Sulan's house.

Then Sulan's sickly father came out to greet him.

The neighbors ran into Xiaomei who was coming back from school. Xiaomei said that was her sister's marriage partner, and today she came to propose marriage and get engaged.

Two neighbors were curious about who Sulan was engaged to, so they came to the house to take a look.

They were dumbfounded when they saw the gifts Chen Xiaowei brought.

Isn't this too much?

There are even jewelry, a gold ring, and a pair of gold earrings.

Sulan's return gift was not bad either, with clothes and shoes for all seasons, and two beautifully woven sweaters.

Afterwards, the news that Sulan got married and married a soldier spread like wildfire in Danjiang City.

Fang Shiming laughed at her when he heard it. After choosing and choosing, she chose a soldier. They would be separated and widowed in the future.

But when Fang Shiming heard that the soldier Sulan married was already the deputy political commissar of the regiment, he was furious and said that he rejected her because she had been hooking up with someone.

Seeing that Fang Shiming was obsessed with Sulan, Lin Chunhua became crazy and almost scratched Fang Shiming's face. Now all the neighbors knew that Sulan had married well. In the past, the neighbors looked down on Sulan. She was a grown-up girl with a sick father, two younger brothers and a younger sister. Even in such a situation, she rejected Fang Shiming. She didn't

know what was good for her. But then Sulan married Chen Xiaowei, who had better conditions. Neighbors were sighing about how lucky Sulan was. They were really a group of people who changed their minds according to the situation. When the matchmaker came to propose marriage, the news leaked out that the marriage between Sulan and Chen Xiaowei was facilitated by Ma Siqing, and Ma Siqing is now married to a military officer. If Sulan follows the army in the future, she can live in the same place with Ma Siqing. The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. This word reached Zhang Xiaoe's ears. Zhang Xiaoe was furious when she learned that Ma Siqing actually married a military officer. She cursed at home: "You loser, you little bitch, you married yourself off for the second time, you married so well, but you didn't even bother to bring some benefits to the family." "You ungrateful bastard, I raised her for nothing, for so many years." "No, I have to go find her, ask her for money, benefits, and a job." "Chunyu is twelve years old, and she will have to work in a few years, so I have to ask Ma Siqing to arrange a job for her brother." Zhang Xiao'e, who had made up her mind, went to Sulan's house. Lin Chunhua was jealous when she learned that Ma Siqing had married a military officer. How could Ma Siqing, who married for the second time, marry so well? But she, a virgin, could only find a worker in a steel factory? Since her dream of being a rich girl was shattered, Lin Chunhua would become a little neurotic when she was stimulated.

Fang Shiming didn't realize it yet, he just thought Lin Chunhua was beautiful and he would be proud to take her out.

Besides, Lin Chunhua was a decent person, and she was already engaged, but she didn't let him kiss her, only hold hands.

When Zhang Xiao'e arrived at Sulan's house, no one was there.

Chen Xiaowei said that since they were already engaged, they should go to his house to sit and get to know each other.

The five people in the family followed Chen Xiaowei to Chen Xiaowei's house.

Zhang Xiao'e got nothing.

She was about to go home with a lot of curses, and happened to meet Sulan's neighbor, who exaggerated and repeated what he saw at Sulan's house today.

Zhang Xiao'e thought that if soldiers were so rich, Ma Siqing must be rich too.

This time, she had to ask Ma Siqing to give her more money.

She was reluctant to spend the money given by the Yao family. She just wanted to save it for Lin Chunyu.

Lin Chunhua's marriage would also cost a lot of money.

Money was needed everywhere. She had raised Ma Siqing for so long, Ma Siqing must repay her.

Sulan's family did not come back until the next day, and Sulan hurried to work the night shift. Zhang Xiao'e knocked on the door loudly.

But Uncle Wu found out it was Zhang Xiao'e and refused to open the door.

Zhang Xiao'e cursed, saying that the Wu family had climbed up the social ladder and even ignored their former neighbors who came to visit. They did not open the door, let alone drink a cup of hot tea.

The neighbors knew what kind of person Zhang Xiao'e was, but no one spoke up for her.

After a while, seeing that the Wu family did not respond, Zhang Xiao'e had to go home to eat and rest.
