Since everyone was at home today, Jiang Li personally went into the kitchen and cooked a table full of delicious dishes.
The whole family sat together and had a lively reunion dinner.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yi was about to go to school when Zhang Guocai called him.
"Your mother escaped death this time. As a son, don't you know how to stay home and accompany her?"
"Uncle, there's a saying that goes, 'There's a long way to go.' Mother will be home more often in the future, and we can see each other every day. There's no need to rush."
Jiang Yi explained patiently, but Zhang Guocai refused to listen.
It wasn't until Zhang Yufen spoke up herself that they gave up.
"Jiang Yi is right. Studying is the most important thing. We can meet often in the future. There is no need to rush."
Zhang Guocai reluctantly let go of his hand, and Jiang Yi stuck out his tongue at his uncle as he left.
Jiang Li smiled as he watched his mature and steady brother suddenly become lively and cheerful in front of their elders.
His uncle had always protected him, and now that his mother was back, he had finally regained his childlike nature.
On the second day after his mother came back, Shen Changan's grandmother and parents came to the door with gifts.
Compared with the previous casual meeting, this time the meeting between the two families seemed much more formal.
Although the wedding date has been set and the wedding arrangements are underway, the opportunity to meet the mother-in-law cannot be avoided.
My uncle sat next to my mother, his back straight, listening to their conversation quietly.
He would only say a few words when asked, otherwise he would remain silent the whole time and try his best to be a tool.
Shen Changan's parents were very satisfied with Jiang Li, and their visit this time was just a formality.
Meet the girl's relatives to get to know each other's situation and subsequent plans.
Shen Changan was the biggest contributor to rescuing his mother this time.
The mother was grateful for his kindness and valued him very much.
I was already satisfied with him, and I became even more satisfied after knowing his family situation.
Shen Changan's parents both hold high positions in the system, and he himself also works in the system. His family has a bright future.
Originally, it was never the turn of rural people like them to have such a family.
In other words, my daughter and Shen Changan got together by chance and later had a child.
The two gradually developed feelings for each other as they got along, and they recognized each other. It can be said that they were a match made in heaven.
Shen Changan's parents were very friendly and didn't look down on them at all.
Zhang Yufen was taken care of in every way while she was with them, and she felt like she was basking in the spring breeze.
Of course, she would be very willing for her daughter to marry into such a family.
After the parents of both sides had dinner, the marriage was completely discussed and the wedding date was set.
Wang Cuimei also gave a symbolic betrothal gift of 1,888 yuan.
Excluding the gold, silver and gifts given before, in this era, a betrothal gift of 1,888 yuan is already a huge amount.
Zhang Yufen was happy for Wang Cuimei from the bottom of her heart when she saw that she thought so highly of her daughter.
In other families, getting pregnant before marriage would be looked down upon by the in-laws.
Only Shen Changan's family did the opposite, giving enough face in all aspects.
The wedding was held three days later. Zhang Yufen accepted the betrothal money and handed it over to Jiang Li that evening.
"Jiang Li, you also know Mom's situation. She was just rescued and is now penniless. She depends on you for food and shelter."
"I really can't afford to buy you a dowry, so I can only return the betrothal money to you. When I have money in the future, I will buy you whatever you want!"
Zhang Yufen patted Jiang Li's hand and couldn't help sighing while speaking.
My daughter has found such a good husband and such a good in-law family. Her life will definitely get better and better in the future.
As a mother, she not only failed to help, but was actually holding her daughter back. It was really shameful to say that.
"Mom, these betrothal gifts are yours now that I've given them to you."
Jiang Li is not short of money at all. On the contrary, his mother has worked hard for so many years to raise them, so it would be better to give the money to her.
"How can it be justified to withhold the betrothal gift when marrying off a daughter? If I really did that, I would definitely be ridiculed when I return to the village."
In fact, there are quite a few parents in the village who do this kind of thing, using their daughter's betrothal gifts to support their sons, but Zhang Yufen is unwilling to be one of them.
"Then we won't go back to the village."
Jiang Li said with a smile, but Zhang Yufen still pushed the money back.
"I can't take this money. You can use it to buy whatever you want. Or I can use this money to buy you something you need."
“I have money now, and Shen Changan also has money. Just tell him if you want something. I really don’t lack anything.”
Jiang Li held his mother's hand and looked at her for a while. Seeing that she was wearing inappropriate clothes, he decided to take her for a walk on the street.
"Mom, let me take you and Xiaoyun to buy clothes."
Zhang Yufen still wanted to refuse, but Jiang Li said seriously.
"My daughter is dressed so beautifully, but I am wearing coarse clothes. If I tell others about this, people will think I have no conscience."
"If my mother doesn't want to go out on the street with me, then she wants me to be this heartless daughter."
Zhang Yufen couldn't persuade her and had to agree.
Jiang Li brought his mother and sister to the garment section of the department store.
She kept bringing out all the latest styles of clothes and pants for them to try on.
There were also new hats, scarves and bags. As long as they took a quick look at them, Jiang Li would happily pack them all up.
Not only that, Jiang Li also took them to buy various delicious foods.
I drove there and the trunk was full when I left.
Zhang Yufen saw her daughter spending money like water and kept saying no, no, but Jiang Li always smiled and laughed it off.
In the end, he bought a cart full of food and daily necessities and filled Zhang Yufen's room with them.
Jiang Li took out the jewelry box given by her mother-in-law and picked out a gold bracelet and a gold necklace for her mother.
Shen Changan personally delivered the newly made Chinese bridal makeup, which was specially made by Xiuniang. It was made of bright red material and the edges were wrapped with gold thread.
The bridal gown is brightly colored and delicately embroidered, with phoenixes spreading their wings as if ready to fly.
The entire wedding dress was designed exactly according to her ideas, even the details were handled very well. Jiang Li fell in love with it at first sight.
"Do you like it?"
Shen Changan looked at her with a smile. Jiang Li's skin was originally fair, and now it looked even more like cream under the bright red wedding dress.
Shen Changan originally liked her, and now he can't wait to marry her home.
Such a pretty and beautiful girl is about to become his wife.
Shen Changan felt like he was dreaming when he thought about it.
And this beautiful dream is about to come true. It’s only a few days away, but he wishes time would go faster and faster!
I really want to see his girl wearing an exquisite wedding dress and being his most beautiful bride!
