"It turns out Xichuan and Xiaobei have been in love for a long time. They hid it so well that I didn't even notice it!"
"Me too!"
"Grandpa Beihai, Grandma Beihai, Jiaxing, what do you think, should we hold this engagement ceremony?"
"Of course!"
Hearing Wang Zhaodi's words, Grandpa Duan Xichuan and his father responded in unison.
Grandpa Duan Xichuan then said seriously: "I believe that Xichuan, since he has chosen a girl, she must be a good girl. From what I have seen, I also think that this girl Shen is not bad. The two of them are also a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they are a perfect match."
"Just follow Xichuan's instructions and start arranging this matter tomorrow. You must arrange it in a decent manner, so that people don't think that our family has wronged Shen Yatou because Xichuan didn't come back."
"Grandpa, before we do anything, shouldn't we ask Xiaobei's opinion first?"
"Okay, let's go ask Miss Shen what she thinks first. Hongmian, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Hey, don't worry, Grandpa. I'll ask Xiaobei tomorrow morning when I go to the commune to set up my stall. I think she and Xichuan must be in love, otherwise Xichuan wouldn't ask us to help them with the engagement ceremony."
"Oh, for the past few years, I've been worried that Xichuan wasn't serious about his marriage, and that he wouldn't find a partner until he was 30. I never expected that he would suddenly give us such a big surprise!"
"This kid is really good at hiding his thoughts. He won't tell us until they're engaged!"
"Xichuan has been like this since he was a kid. When he joined the army that year, he didn't tell us anything beforehand, and who knew he would be enlisted right away!"
"Xichuan is able to keep things to himself. This is one of his strengths. It shows that he has a calm temperament."
The elders of the Duan family were all smiling and happy because Duan Xichuan and Shen Xiaobei were about to get engaged.
Although Gao Hongmian was quite surprised, she was also very happy.
Rather than asking Tang Weiwei to be her sister-in-law, she naturally hoped that her good sister could be her sister-in-law.
Shen Xiaobei also received a reply from Duan Xichuan on the same day.
Duan Xichuan told her in the letter that he asked his family to arrange their engagement ceremony as soon as possible, and said that he believed she would definitely agree, right?
This man is really confident!
However, Shen Xiaobei really likes his confidence, as well as his attentiveness and understanding in understanding her and giving her a sense of security in a timely manner.
She believed that Duan Donglin must have felt it from his letter, and she felt that it was time for them to make their relationship public.
Therefore, he cooperated with her promptly and proactively with great tacit understanding.
The next day, when Shen Xiaobei went to the commune to set up a stall, he saw Duan Donglin and Gao Hongmian coming, and a hint of shyness suddenly passed across his face. He unconsciously felt a little embarrassed to face them.
The two of them teased her, their future sister-in-law, without any hesitation before they let her go.
After getting Shen Xiaobei's confirmation and agreeing to hold the engagement ceremony, everyone in the Duan family became busy.
Duan Jiaxing and Duan Donglin started to work together to paint the room where Duan Xichuan lived.
Then add some new furniture to the room, especially a dressing table with a mirror for women's use.
In the future, when Shen Xiaobei comes to his house for dinner and lets her stay for a while, it will also be convenient for her to use.
Wang Zhaodi and Gao Hongmian also carefully bought Shen Xiaobei the slippers he would need to live in their home in the future, as well as daily necessities such as a toothbrush, a mouthwash cup, a towel, and a spittoon.
Anyway, they both bought her everything they could think of, or replaced the old ones with new ones.
In addition to adding things to Duan Xichuan's room, he naturally had to give some engagement gifts to Shen Xiaobei.
Grandma Duan Xichuan took out a stack of private money and gave it to Wang Zhaodi, asking her to go to the county town with Gao Hongmian to pick out a gold bracelet to give to Shen Xiaobei.
Someone had given the gold bracelet, so Wang Zhaodi and Duan Jiaxing, the future parents-in-law, decided to give Shen Xiaobei a more expensive jade bracelet.
In addition to giving jewelry, Wang Zhaodi also decided to go to the county town to buy some festive and colorful fabrics and asked Gao Hongmian to make three sets of clothes for Shen Xiaobei.
Three days later, early in the morning, Gao Hongmian did not set up her stall that day. After having breakfast at home, she accompanied Wang Zhaodi to the commune and took a bus to the county town to buy these things.
After buying the jewelry, the two went to a supply and marketing cooperative to choose fabrics.
"Godmother, Sister Hongmian!"
Wang Zhaodi and Gao Hongmian were standing in front of the counter, looking at the bright red cloth that the salesperson handed to them, when they suddenly heard Tang Weiwei's voice.
The two of them quickly turned around. Wang Zhaodi's face was full of affection and joy at first, but she immediately showed a hint of embarrassment.
When she met Tang Weiwei at this critical moment, she really didn't know how to deal with her!
"Oh, it's you guys! Godmother, Sister Hongmian, are you here to buy fabric too?"
"Haha, yes!"
When Gao Hongmian saw Tang Weiwei, she immediately looked bored and was completely uninterested in her.
"Weiwei, what a coincidence, are you here to buy fabric too?"
"Yes, Godmother, I want to make two skirts to wear during dance performances!"
"Oh! Another performance?"
"Yes, May Day is coming soon, and our troupe will be performing in some places."
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
"Godmother, why do you seem unhappy to see me? Is it because I came to your house for dinner during the New Year and I wanted you to agree to marry Xichuan brother's wife, and you are not happy about it?"
"No, no, Weiwei, you're overthinking it. Godmother just didn't expect to meet you here today."
