"Wei Hongtao?"
"Yes, that's him!"
"This time the matchmaker is looking for him as a guarantor."
Shen Pengfei nodded, “Okay, I have an idea.”
When Chen Ying heard that the Gu family had agreed to the marriage and had agreed to marry their daughter off on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year, she couldn't help but curl her lips. "They said they didn't agree then, but now they agree. I don't know what they're up to!"
The words were said by Shen Pengfei, and after hearing her reaction, Shen Pengfei immediately frowned and scolded her, "Shut your mouth!"
Chen Ying was not convinced and kept grumbling.
Shen Pengfei continued to say to her, "If you want your son to continue to be single, just say so."
"Then Tingci still can't get married?" Chen Ying was not convinced.
Shen Pengfei nodded, "Marry, why not marry."
"Yes, your son is almost 28 and still not married?"
Chen Ying stuttered, "...Then, doesn't that mean we didn't pick the right one?"
"You knew there was no one suitable, but now that you've found the right one, just shut up."
Chen Ying still refused to accept it.
Shen Pengfei said, “Why don’t you go to the Jiang family and grumble?”
Chen Ying continued to mutter, "How can it be the same?"
Shen Pengfei asked, “Why is it different?”
Chen Ying spread her hands and prepared to analyze it for Shen Pengfei, “Don’t say that I have high standards, but the facts are different!”
"Ruoruo's father is the director of the Health Bureau, and Ruoruo herself is also a section chief."
"How are we worse at listening to words than listening to Yu?"
"Tingci is supposed to be even better than Tingyu, but she's from the same countryside as him, and her parents are just ordinary people."
"Tell me how it's the same?"
"It's hard to find someone like Ruoruo, but it's easy to find someone like her."
Shen Pengfei said, “It’s so easy to find, I haven’t seen you find it in these years!”
Chen Ying was a little angry when she talked about this. "It's all because of Ci himself. There was obviously a suitable one, but he chose to hang himself on that tree."
"Just shut up!"
"In short, you should say less of these words in the future, or don't say them at all."
"They agreed to move the date so close, but they only had one request: that my daughter not be bullied after she gets married."
Chen Ying puffed out her chest and asked, "The girl from his family married into our family and she's being bullied?"
"Why aren't you angry?"
"I'm the leader's sister."
"Besides, his brother is about the same age as your son. No one knows what he will be like in the future, so he is no different from you."
"Isn't he the battalion commander?" Chen Ying was surprised.
"It's been promoted!"
Chen Ying pursed her lips and stopped talking.
The girl's family doesn't need to prepare anything for the engagement.
All prepared by the man.
That is to say, prepare some new fabrics to make two sets of clothes for the woman. Other things include popular shampoo, soap, facial cream, etc., as well as brown sugar, fruit candy, canned food and the like that may be needed.
Those with better conditions have cigarettes and alcohol.
Even better are gold rings.
The woman only needs to go with him to choose things in advance.
Just bring the things back on the engagement day.
You still have to take these things with you when you get married.
Everything was settled, and the next day Gu Yanli took Wen Tang to the county town to talk about this matter with Gu Shuhe.
When Gu Shuhe heard Wen Tang say, "Dad and Mom agree to your marriage with Chen Tingci," her face flushed red.
But when Wen Tang said, "You two will get engaged next month and get married on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month..."
Gu Shuhe was stunned. "The 26th of the twelfth lunar month?"
"The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month this year?"
Wen Tang nodded.
Gu Shuhe, who had always been gentle and kind, was a little annoyed at this moment. "Why choose such a close date?"
Wen Tang said directly, "Shen Tingci chose it. He said his brother is waiting to get married."
Gu Shuhe was so angry that he stamped his feet and his cheeks puffed up.
Wen Tang watched and felt secretly happy.
Wen Tang could see that although his sister-in-law didn't say anything, she definitely remembered Shen Tingci in her heart.
Remember this well, how can you let him take away your good cabbage at such a great price!
Although Gu Shuhe is not Wen Tang's biological sister, she is well-behaved, pretty and lovable. Wen Tang really treats her as his sister!
Gu Shuhe was still angry for a while, then asked, "Sister-in-law, are you here with my brother for something?"
Wen Tang nodded and said, "Come out and find a car. The order for 100,000 bars of soap is almost due."
Gu Shuhe nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I understand. You can go and get busy with my brother!"
Wen Tang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you to have lunch at noon!"
"Then I'll tell someone."
Gu Shuhe usually works with two people, and the other person is often not there.
That person is here today, so Gu Shuhe doesn’t have to close the door and can go out to eat.
"Well, go ahead!" The other party was also very easy to talk to.
Before Wen Tang's goods were delivered, Wei Hongtao, the new matchmaker, came to the Gu family again and said to Zhong Meixian and Gu Juyuan, "Uncle, aunt, the secretary's family wanted to ask if you have time these days to go and buy the things we need."
"Also, what are the rules here? The secretary said that six new sets of clothes, pillowcases, quilt covers, and bed sheets all have the number six, for good luck."
"After that, for things like brown sugar and soap, I'll pick the number ten, to symbolize perfection."
"I wonder if you think this is appropriate?"
"If there's anything else, you can bring it up."
When Gu Juyuan and Zhong Meixian heard this, they were speechless. Gu Juyuan said, "That's too much!"
Generally, when villagers do this, they would consider it a good thing if they were willing to give two new pillowcases, two quilt covers, and two feet of cloth to make new clothes.
