Chapter 330 Did you ask me?
"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 and said, "You said you didn't agree then, but now you agree. I don't know what you're talking about!"
The words were said by Shen Pengfei to her, 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 a bachelor, just say so."
"Then how can Ting Ci not get married?" Chen Ying was unconvinced.
Shen Pengfei nodded, "Marry, why not marry."
"Yes, your son is almost 28 and still not married?"
Chen Ying stuttered, "...Then, then didn't you find a suitable one?"
"You knew there was no suitable one, now that you have 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 words?"
"Tingci is better than Tingyu, but he ended up finding her from the countryside. Her parents are ordinary people."
"Can you 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 got a little angry when she talked about this. "It's all because of him. There was obviously a suitable one, but he chose to hang himself on that tree."
"Just shut up!"
"In short, don't say these words anymore in the future."
"They agreed to set the date so close, but they only asked for one thing: that my daughter not be bullied after she gets married."
Chen Ying straightened her chest and asked, "The girl from his family married into our family and still suffers?"
"Why don't you feel angry?"
"She is 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 doesn't need you."
"Isn't he the battalion commander?" Chen Ying was surprised.
"It's 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 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 is a gold ring.
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 to Gu Shuhe about this matter.
When Gu Shuhe heard Wen Tang say, "Dad and Mom agree to your marriage with Shen Tingci," her face flushed.
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 confused, "The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month?"
"The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month this year?"
Wen Tang nodded.
Gu Shuhe has always been a gentle person, but now he is a little annoyed. "Why choose such a close date?"
Wen Tang said directly, "Shen Tingqi chose it. He said his brother is waiting to get married."
Gu Shuhe was so angry that he stamped his feet and his cheeks were puffed up.
Wen Tang watched with secret joy in his heart.
Wen Tang could see that although the 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 this cost?
Although Gu Shuhe is not her 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 will be delivered in a little while."
Gu Shuhe nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I understand. You and my brother can go and get busy!"
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 easy to talk to.
Wen Tang's goods hadn't been delivered yet, but 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 wants to ask if you have time these few days to go and buy the things you need."
"Also, what are the rules here? The secretary said that the six new sets of clothes, pillowcases, quilt covers, and bed sheets should all be the number six, for good luck."
"After that, for things like brown sugar and soap, we'll use the number 10, for the auspicious meaning of perfection."
"I wonder if you think this is appropriate?"
"If there is anything else, you can also mention it."
When Gu Juyuan and Zhong Meixian heard this, they had nothing else to say. Gu Juyuan said, "That's too much!"
Generally, when villagers do this, they would consider it good enough if they were willing to give two new pillowcases, two quilt covers, and two feet of cloth to make new clothes.
They will give you some brown sugar, but don't think about anything else.
There are indeed a lot of numbers with six or ten.
Gu Juyuan is an honest farmer, so he doesn't want to take advantage of anyone.
Wei Hongtao said, "Not many. This is the rule in the county."
Gu Juyuan had never been involved in any wedding events in the county, so he could only look to his wife.
He has never come into contact with it, and neither has Zhong Meixian!
Zhong Meixian went to call Gu Yanli.
Gu Yanli said, "If you are willing to give it, then give it to him. You don't want it, so Shuhe will take it away anyway."
"What about brown sugar?"
"Why not just return half of the gift to their family?"
Zhong Meixian nodded.
He went into the house and told Gu Juyuan, "Yan Li said that this is the rule in the county, so we should follow their rules."
Gu Juyuan thought that his son was the head of the regiment and must be more knowledgeable than himself.
I just nodded and said, "Then let's follow their lead!"
"I'll ask Yan Li to talk to Shu He later."
Wei Hongtao nodded happily, "Then I'll go back and tell them that we'll go buy something in the next two days."
"Um!"
Wei Hongtao had already discussed the time, and Shen Tingci went to find Gu Shuhe and asked him, "Have your family members come over?"
Gu Shuhe said nothing, just looked at him in confusion.
Shen Tingci rubbed his fingers lightly on the counter twice, "Your parents agree to my marriage with you."
"The marriage has been arranged!"
Gu Shuhe asked, "Did you ask me?"
Shen Tingci "..."
"...Didn't you say you would listen to your parents?"
"So I'm going to get married this year?"
Shen Tingci "..."
"My situation is urgent..."
"And then?" Gu Shuhe interrupted directly.
