Chapter 47
In the countryside in the 1970s, the purpose of engagement was to discuss the bride price, dowry, marriage and other procedures!
If both parties are sincere, it is actually very simple. The man's family prepares four gifts and goes to the woman's family to propose marriage accompanied by a matchmaker. If the woman's family leaves the gifts, it means they agree to the marriage!
For a more formal one, an engagement letter must be signed in the presence of witnesses. In rural areas where marriage certificates are not yet popular, this engagement letter is still very binding!
It was as if she had no relatives. Although the engagement was made in a hurry, he didn't want to let her down. He would give her what other girls had, and he would also give her what other girls didn't have!
Early in the morning, he called Yu Zhen and asked Yu's father to be Wanru's in-laws!
Yu Zhen's father, Yu Qingsong, is the director of Qingshan County Forest Farm. He was in the same trench with his father. Because of his father's relationship, he is considered half-elder to him. His cousin, Zheng Xiufen, is the women's director of the textile factory and is a very kind person!
Since his father passed away that year, the couple has always taken good care of him over the years!
A dual-career family. Now Yu Zhen is the secretary of the county leader, so it's just right for him to be Wanru's godparent!
And the brigade secretary Li Jiubao was the person he had chosen to mediate, and also the witness!
When Li Jiubao learned that he would be a witness for Lu Yao's marriage, he slapped his thigh and immediately agreed!
Lu Yao grew up under his care and he saw all the difficulties he had gone through over the years. Now that Ruo finally wanted to start a family, how could he not be happy!
It was decided that Grandma Lu had to appear on stage, and Qiao Xiaobei came along specially to give her courage! A group of five people, led by Lu Yao, boarded the village's ox cart, took the prepared engagement dress, and drove all the way to the county town!

"How do you think of my clothes?"
"My wife looks good in whatever she wears!" Yu Qingsong agreed without even raising his eyes!
"Hey, can you please stop reading that crappy newspaper? A-Yao might get a date soon!"
Ever since my son told me this morning that Lu Yao has a girlfriend and all his family members have died, and now he’s engaged and has no family from his mother’s side, he wants someone to be their godparents!
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that I heard from my son that the little girl was extremely well-behaved, soft and tender, pretty and gullible... Bah, bah, she is so naive!
It is said to be fun!
She hasn't even met the person yet, but her heart feels like it's being scratched by a cat!
In her life, she only gave birth to one son, Yu Zhen, and always wanted to have a good daughter. Unfortunately, due to her hard work in her early years, her health was not good, and the birth of Yu Zhen, the debt collector, was an accident. Her wish for a daughter was never fulfilled!
Yu Qingsong put down the newspaper and looked at his lover with a headache. He had almost emptied the closet in the whole morning. He said with certainty: "This is it! It suits your temperament very well. It's perfect!"
Zheng Xiufen asked suspiciously: "Really?"
"Well! If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Zhen!" Even if it's not, it must be!
Hearing this, Yu Zhen, who was fiddling with the radio, looked up and nodded in agreement!
Well, if both men in the family say yes, then it’s really good!
"Okay then, this is it! Come, take another look, I'll give you... Wanru, that girl is Wanru, right?" Zheng Xiufen asked for confirmation!
Yu Zhen nodded again!
"Wanru Wanru, Wanranru like water, what a good name! You two stop fiddling with your things and come and take a look at the gift I prepared for Wanru. Is it suitable?"
