Chapter 206 Engagement 05
"Let's not compare with others. Last time I heard from your third uncle that Qiming offered a betrothal gift of 688. Do you think Xiaojiang should take a look at it?" Aunt San thought for a while and said.
Although she didn't know how much money Jiang Chen had, she didn't want her niece to be worse off than others. "If you're short of money, tell us. We have some savings."
Bai Jing smiled, and her smile was very happy.
"No need. Jiang Chen is rich. He's worked for so many years, and he doesn't spend much on a daily basis. With bonuses and other things, he has saved quite a bit. 688 is no problem."
Not to mention 688, even 88,000 is not a problem.
"That's good, that's good." The two of them felt relieved.
It's not that they want to compete with others, it's just that they are afraid that their niece will be unhappy if she finds out.
"Then eat quickly and go buy something later."
The two left with a smile, and Bai Jing also ate her breakfast with a happy look on her face.
Jiang Chen had been paying attention to her. Seeing her smile happily, a smile also appeared on his face, which had never smiled for many years.
In fact, he called his good brothers early in the morning and told them that he was getting engaged today. He didn't care whether they were free to come, but they had to accept the gifts.
He must have as many wives as other people have.
"Jiang Chen, I'm done packing. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative." After Bai Jing finished packing and came out, she called out to Jiang Chen who was playing with his younger brothers.
"Here I come."
What the two of them didn't expect was that when they went out, there were so many people following them.
Bai Jing and Jiang Chen didn't stop him. He could follow if he wanted.
Clothes are just a style, Bai Jing doesn't care much about them, she really has no shortage of clothes.
But when I came back, I bought a lot of snacks, cigarettes and alcohol.
Naturally, he went to get the money, and Bai Jing also talked about the betrothal gift.
Jiang Chen originally wanted to pick the one in a million, but Bai Jing rejected it on the spot.
In the millennium, most rural areas only had this amount. She didn't dare to be extravagant during this critical period.
I chose the number 666, which means everything goes smoothly and harmoniously.
I also bought some ready-made red envelopes. After all, I only gave Bai Ling a meeting gift yesterday, and I haven’t given any to the others yet.
Each red envelope contained the same amount as Bai Ling's, twenty yuan each.
This is Bai Jingding.
Jiang Chen took out 1,500 yuan and kept it on him for emergencies.
noon.
Wang Fei and Zhong Qiming came over pushing a cart filled with the things Luo Chunhua ordered yesterday.
The house was bustling with activity. Naturally, the neighbors came to inquire about the situation. When they learned that the eldest daughter of the Bai family was getting engaged, they all congratulated her, took a handful of melon seeds, and joined in helping.
Luo Chunhua is a good person in her daily life and has good friends with a few families around her.
"Chunhua, where is your son-in-law from?"
"Yes, yes. Your son-in-law looks very handsome. What does he do?"
Finding out other people's secrets is every married woman's favorite thing to do.
Luo Chunhua picked up the words and said, "My son-in-law is a soldier and he's from City A."
Compared to the hustle and bustle here, Jiang Chen's surroundings were not so relaxing. He was surrounded by Bai Jing's uncles, who would not stop until they asked him about his entire family.
The engagement was a happy and blissful occasion. Bai Jing and Jiang Chen both changed into new clothes. At noon, Luo Chunhua invited several neighbors who had helped earlier to stay for lunch.
After eating a little casually, they waited for the formal dinner in the evening. After today, the relationship between the two was truly confirmed.
What Bai Jing didn't expect was that there would be guests coming to her house in the afternoon.
Or someone she knew.
"Sister Song, Sister Xiao, why are you here?" Bai Jing was really happy that they came.
Their arrival also represents the arrival of the man.
This made the Bai family very enthusiastic towards them, and they treated them very well.
"How could we not come to your engagement?" Song Dongling and Xiao Xue said jokingly, "You guys are so silly! You even hid us when we were in City A."
Bai Jing hadn't intentionally hidden this from them. "This was a bit rushed. My parents set the date. They knew about Jiang Chen's family situation, so they didn't think too much of it."
They naturally didn't blame Bai Jing, so they just said casually, "So that's how it is. It seems that the mother-in-law is satisfied with her son-in-law."
"Of course, you don't know Jiang Chen's character, but he's definitely someone who can satisfy his parents."
Bai Jing couldn't help blushing when the two of them teased her.
In the evening, the Bai family's yard was even more lively. Zhang Cuicui came over after work and gave a big gift to her good friend and niece.
Naturally, Bai Jing also introduced her to Song Dongling and Xiao Xue.
It is said that three women are equivalent to a hundred mouths. Now that there are four women, the laughter never stops.
Even Bai Ling and Bai Yumeng were attracted by their laughter and came over to listen to the gossip.
With the arrival of the little girl, those who already had partners no longer dared to speak in a rude manner, and the laughter slowly stopped.
As for the men, since Jiang Chen’s four good friends were here, a drinking contest was inevitable.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen drank little, and everyone knew that he was still injured, so they didn't dare let him drink more.
We are all family, so naturally we are more worried about his health.
On this day, everyone went to bed very late, and Bai Jing generously shared her beauty secrets with Song Dongling and Xiao Xue.
This made the two of them very happy, and they forced Bai Jing to hand over the inventory.
The next day, Nan Lichen and his friends had to rush back because they had work to do, so they drove away after breakfast.
That's right, they came by car. There were two cars in total, one from Nan Licheng and one from Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei's wife didn't come because she and Bai Jing didn't get along. In order to avoid enmity, Xiao Wei didn't let her come.
Before leaving, Luo Chunhua also prepared red envelopes for several people's children, with twenty yuan in each, even Xiao Wei's son got one.
The three of them had a favorable impression of the Bai family. It was not that they were thinking about the small amount of money, but they felt that the Bai family was a good person and treated Jiang Chen as their own family.
If they didn't value Jiang Chen, they wouldn't have received such courtesy.
My second and third uncles went back last night because there was no room for them here and they had to go to work the next morning.
The children wanted to stay, but there was no room, so they had to go back. However, not long after Nan Lichen and the others left, the children came back again.
As some people leave, others come, so it’s not too deserted.
After Jiang Chen sent his good brother away, he returned to his room and took out all the red envelopes he had received yesterday and gave them to Bai Jing.
I also told her who gave each red envelope one by one, and said, "Do you want to keep an account?" After all, you have to return the gifts you receive.
"You've thought it through. Tell me more later and I'll take note." Bai Jing nodded in approval, then stood up to find paper and pen.
What she didn't expect was that Jiang Chen actually received so much money. His second uncle and third uncle gave him 100 yuan each, while Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhong gave him 200 yuan each.
Second aunt and third aunt also gave one hundred each.
