Chapter 363: She can't lack what others have
The branch secretary and the village chief were all officials, and they quickly started chatting with Mr. Fu, the deputy factory director.
Only then did they realize that Chuxue did not marry into an ordinary family: "Oh, Chuxue did not leak any information. We are lucky today. We can even sit and drink with you, the big factory director."
Father Fu said modestly: "Deputy, deputy."
"Whether he's the director or the deputy director, he's the factory director, right? Besides, without the deputy director, there won't be a director. It's only a matter of time before you decide whether this is right or not."
These words made Mr. Fu continue to laugh.
Father and Mother Liu were very nervous at first, but they did not expect the Fu couple to be so casual, and now they are not so restrained.
When the branch secretary and the village chief were chatting with Father Fu, Father Liu would occasionally interject, and Mother Liu would also greet Mother Fu warmly.
Kong Yizhang would occasionally reveal some of Fu Yancheng's scandals to Chuxue, and laughter could be heard from the room from time to time.
When everyone started eating, they were all amazed at once. Mother Fu's eyes lit up: "Chuxue, your cooking skills are really good. My Yancheng is in for a treat."
For a moment, everyone fell silent. The dish was so delicious, it was no worse than the one cooked by the chef in a state-owned restaurant.
After dinner, the branch secretary and the village chief knew that the highlight was about to begin, so they stood up and said goodbye.
Fu Yancheng and Chu Xue escorted the people out of the gate, and when they reached the gate, they each stuffed a box of Daqianmen into their hands: "Please help take care of my father-in-law in the future."
The branch secretary and the village chief had no chance to refuse and had to accept it.
Seeing that they were giving it sincerely, he also accepted it: "Shanliang is a good person. We will definitely take care of it even if you don't tell us."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, I watched them leave.
Unexpectedly, when they turned around, they saw Kong Yizhang standing behind them: "Why did you come out?"
Kong Yizhang smiled and said, "My sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious. I have to go out and exercise."
Fu Yancheng glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Don't go too far."
Kong Yizhang waved his hand: "Got it."
As soon as Chuxue and the others entered the house, they heard Fu's mother say, "The betrothal gift is six hundred and sixty-six."
Before she finished speaking, Liu's mother waved her hand and said, "Isn't it a bit high? There is no such high betrothal gift in the village. We are not selling our daughter."
Mother Fu patted Mother Liu's hand and said, "Mother-in-law, listen to me. In my family, no matter which son gets married, the betrothal gift is 200 yuan, plus a bicycle. Oh, no, the third son's wife got a sewing machine, and her family gave her a bicycle as a gift."
Hearing this, Liu's mother was a little confused: "Then, you, this?"
Mother Fu glanced at Fu Yancheng who had just walked in and said, "The extra 466 was Yancheng's idea. He added it himself. If the family has another bicycle, the other sewing machines, watches, and radios, Yancheng will also make up for it."
When Father and Mother Liu heard this, they were stunned. In the village, marrying off a daughter was not easy if there was one big item. They didn't expect that not only was the betrothal gift for their second daughter high, but also the three turns and a ring were not missing.
Father Liu looked at his daughter, while Chu Xue turned to look at Fu Yancheng.
Fu Yancheng first explained why his grandfather didn't come today, and then said solemnly: "I am sincerely asking to marry Chuxue, so naturally she should have what others have, and all these things will be delivered on the day of the engagement."
Since Fu Yancheng said so, Liu's father and mother did not say no or anything like that. After all, this was a sign of the importance and respect that the in-laws showed to Chuxue.
After the matter was discussed, Fu's father and mother did not stay any longer and agreed to get engaged on the ninth day of next month, and to send the betrothal gifts and the three turns and one ring together at that time.
