Chapter 198 Engagement First
Even my eldest sister was excited that night.
Ask Shen Qingyue if good things are about to happen.
Shen Qingyue said: "No, people in our village like to joke around, you know that."
The eldest sister Shen Mei said: "I think Xiao He is really good."
He is gentle and capable, speaks very little, and most importantly, he is a decent person.
The eldest sister treated He Zhengchen like a son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the better he seemed to her.
She is much better than the men in the village.
In the village, no matter how capable a woman is, men don't care much.
He Zhengchen is different. He comes from the provincial capital, is well-educated, and does a good job of respecting women.
The eldest sister said, "There's no one else here, so why should you be shy?"
She looked at Shen Qingyue. Her sister was already pretty, and after exercising for a while, she gained a touch of elegance. She couldn't put it into words, but she was different from others.
The eldest sister said, "Our parents are gone now. I will take care of this matter for you."
The more Shen Qingyue listened, the more she felt it was nonsense. How did it become a matter of arrangement?
"Big sister..."
Chen Mei said, "Even if we don't get married first, we can hold an engagement party first."
It would be safer to finalize such a good candidate early on.
Chen Mei was afraid that Shen Qingyue would think too much, so she said, "Being engaged won't prevent you two from being together. Just listen to me."
Shen Qingyue looked at it for a long time and said, "Then I'll talk to He Zhengchen."
It's better to get engaged first than to get married immediately as the villagers say.
He Zhengchen was a little nervous when he saw Shen Qingyue coming to see him in the evening.
He suddenly remembered what the villagers said during the day.
When looking at Shen Qingyue, he was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva.
Shen Qingyue said: "My eldest sister hopes that we will get engaged before Qiushou. What do you think about this?"
He Zhengchen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was really afraid that Shen Qingyue didn't want to get married. Seeing her say this, he immediately said, "Okay." His parents were not around, and only his grandfather was in Hong Kong.
He Zhengchen said, "I'll write him a letter right now and ask him to come to our engagement party."
I wish I could go back and write right now!
Seeing how serious he was, Shen Qingyue couldn't help but chuckle, "Think carefully, being engaged isn't like breaking up with a boyfriend."
In the village, engagement is as important as marriage.
He Zhengchen looked at Shen Qingyue with an indescribable seriousness in his eyes and said, "I've thought it through."
Shen Qingyue was also moved by the seriousness in his eyes. She said, "Okay then."
…
Everyone in the compound heard about it the next day.
He Zhengchen and Shen Qingyue will get engaged after the autumn harvest.
The villagers were very happy: "It's a good engagement. This engagement only happens once in a lifetime, so we have to make a big fuss about it."
They also imagined setting up a buffet like Shen Xiu's graduation party last time, which would be so lively.
And everyone was happy because our family was not well off before and we couldn’t give good gifts.
Now everyone can find a job and have enough money in their pockets.
If I want to give Shen Qingyue a gift now, I will definitely be able to come up with something decent.
Everyone was very happy, and they were eager to help Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue said: "It's just an engagement. No need to do it, let's talk about it after the wedding."
The villagers wanted Shen Qingyue to have a grand wedding even more than she did. When they heard that she didn't plan to do it, they immediately said, "That won't work. A woman only gets married once in her life. An engagement is also witnessed by the elders. It's no different from getting married."
"And we'll help you with it when the time comes. You don't have to worry about anything. Just have a beautiful engagement."
"Really, when the time comes and I receive the blessings of the whole village, it will be hard not to be happy."
"Shen Qingyue, be good, it must be done. People didn't do it in the past because they didn't have the conditions. Now it's different from the past. When the time comes, my son's wedding will also have to be a big one, it's the same thing."
These people surrounded Shen Qingyue and talked at once.
Aunt Dahua wanted to laugh when she saw it.
Receiving Shen Qingyue's pleading gaze, he had no choice but to rescue the person and said, "Alright, alright. It's up to the young people to decide whether to do it or not. You still think it's not busy enough? I'll see the date. It's the autumn harvest time. Everyone is quite busy."
"What's there to worry about? We just need to harvest the crops early."
"That's right." Everyone made up their minds to do it in a big way.
Shen Qingyue fled in panic.
He Zhengchen went to the county and bought a lot of Oh-Oh milk candies and shrimp cakes, and even expensive wine-filled candies and soda candies.
There are also stories about engagement in the village.
In the past, everything was kept simple, but for He Zhengchen, he also wanted to follow the rules for fear of being laughed at.
The villagers were willing to tell him these things.
Engagement requires a four-legged ceremony. Sixteen legs are popular these days. Furniture like cabinets, sewing machines, bicycles, radios, and so on.
He Zhengchen went to Zhou Jinbao's senior brother to order a complete set of furniture. No matter the price, he wanted the best wood and the best craftsmanship.
The creation of fine furniture takes at least half a year. After the other party accepted the order, He Zhengchen ordered a 20-inch color TV from the provincial capital.
What’s the point of having a radio? Television not only has pictures and sounds, but you can also watch the Spring Festival Gala. That’s what’s great.
