June is the hottest month of summer.
The midday sun makes people dizzy.
At noon, after a short rest, Fu Xiao walked out of the room.
The ceiling fan in the living room was whirring.
Under the ceiling fan, Shen Xingzhou and Grandpa Mu were discussing something.
"How about this day in August?"
Mr. Mu put on his reading glasses and began to look at the date that Shen Xingzhou mentioned, “It’s a good date, but isn’t it a little too early… It’s less than two months, will it be in time?”
Shen Xingzhou smiled and said, “Grandpa, I have prepared everything, so I won’t be too late.”
The two heard footsteps and turned around to see her, "Come here, and see if you are satisfied with the date chosen by Shen Xingzhou."
Fu Xiao sat between the two of them, his voice still a little lazy as he had just woken up, "Whatever, just choose."
Shen Xingzhou handed her a glass of water and looked at Mr. Mu again, signaling him to make the decision.
Grandpa Mu opened the calendar and looked through the auspicious days he had brought. "It's auspicious for offering sacrifices, praying for offspring, opening the eyes of a master, traveling, felling trees, building beams, catching fire, dismantling, recruiting people, building, breaking ground, laying the foundations, planting, and raising livestock... Yeah, not bad, this is a good day!"
Chen Xingzhou picked up the palm-leaf fan beside him with his left hand and fanned it gently, then leaned close to her ear and said, "August 13th is a good day for everything..."
The most important thing is that the three Feng Shui masters all chose this date.
"Then this one,"
It’s the end of summer and it’s still a bit hot, but it’s acceptable.
And just like that, their engagement date was set.
August 13, 1979, June 21st of the lunar calendar, 1979.
There should be no taboos in everything.
After the date was set, she called Mu Lianshen. He was silent for a few seconds before smiling and saying to her, "Okay, Dad got it."
"Remember to tell your mother..."
Fu Xiao smiled lightly: "Well, we will go to Dashan Village tomorrow."
...
Anyang County.
Fu Xiao, who was lying in the back seat, asked in confusion: "Why did you stop?"
"I'm going to get something. I can't come empty-handed."
"Back home, we don't care about these things."
Shen Xingzhou smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair, “This is etiquette…”
"Oh, go ahead,"
The two of them walked into the house carrying their things. Grandpa Fu stood up from the recliner in surprise when he saw them, "Why are you back at this time..."
"The date for our engagement has been set, so I came here to tell you."
"Just give them a phone call, why bother making a special trip..."
That being said, when Grandpa Fu saw them, he still smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
While Fu Xiao was chatting and acting coquettishly with Grandpa Fu, Shen Xingzhou approached Li Xiufen and said, “Aunt, tell me again, what should we do on the day of engagement?”
This kid, I’ve asked this before, why is he asking this again?
Li Xiufen smiled and patted his hands. "Xingzhou, there aren't many rules. Engagement means proposing marriage. Find a matchmaker, bring a gift, and ask for the horoscope. When you go back, you can match the horoscopes and set a wedding date. As long as you follow all the rules, everything will be fine..."
Shen Xingzhou nodded.
"But now it's different from before. Before, we were engaged and it wouldn't be long before we got married."
She looked at Fu Xiao who was acting like a spoiled child to Grandpa Fu, and tenderness flashed in her eyes, "Now, after the engagement, even if the two families have an engagement, as for the wedding date, this is to be discussed later..."
Fu Xiao raised his eyes and looked over. "Chen Xingzhou, please accompany me to the back mountain."
"good,"
Back mountain cemetery.
After arriving here, Fu Xiaogang said something, and Shen Xingzhou next to him knelt on his knees in front of the tomb.
Bang bang bang!
Three kowtows,
Shen Xingzhou knocked without any ambiguity.
Fu Xiao looked at this silly scene in a daze.
Then he began to introduce himself to the grave.
"I have been here before, you should have seen me, but my identity is different this time. I will officially become your son-in-law in a while, don't worry,"
"I will definitely take good care of Xiaoxiao and protect her like a treasure, just like the name you gave her..."
"A lifetime of peace..."
Fu Xiao looked at Fu Jingshu's dusk, his eyes felt a little sore, but the corners of his eyes were still slightly curved into crescents.
She is 20 years old.
She chose the man she would spend her future with.
"Mom, he may not be perfect, but he loves me. I can feel his love for her, very deeply... That's enough. With him by my side, I am very happy and relaxed..."
"If you were here... you would definitely like him. He is really good at coaxing people..."
"It would be nice if you were here..."
...
A man in a light grey Tang suit stood in front of the desk...
Hold the brush in your hand and lightly dip it in ink.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and a man quietly entered, stood in front of him and whispered, "There is news..."
The man holding the pen raised his eyes and looked over, his brows were gentle and his eyes were clear.
He raised the corners of his lips into an extremely warm smile and asked in a calm voice: "What news?"
The visitor read the news to him one by one.
However, when he heard the first, second and third news.
Especially when it comes to the news of "engagement".
The smile in the man's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a layer of dark color like thick ink.
She's getting engaged...
"How old is she..."
