Jiang Cheng shook his head repeatedly when he heard Shuisheng's words. The most important thing for him today was to entertain his in-laws well. This was the task assigned to him by his wife.
Although the men in the Jiang family all serve in the army and are truly tough guys, when they are at home, the men in the Jiang family are also notoriously afraid of their wives.
It can’t be said that he is afraid of his wife. The main reason is that the men in the Jiang family love their wives very much.
"I don't have anything to do today. If I do have something to do, it's to entertain you."
Du Shuisheng: You should go and take care of something. I can’t relax with you here!
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. Du Shuisheng forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Then I'll trouble my in-laws."
Here, Jiang Cheng was concentrating on greeting Du Shuisheng's family, while Du Wanying was still being taken by Luo Li to meet and greet Jiang's relatives and friends.
And to be honest, Huairen County does not attach much importance to engagement. The man just takes the woman to buy some clothes, jewelry and so on, and then gives some betrothal money.
There was nothing special about the other things, so Zhao Fangling had never seen anything as grand as the Jiang family's. After all, people of status were more particular.
In a blink of an eye, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived. Jiang did not invite many people, and most of the people who came today were Jiang's best relatives and friends.
There are only grandparents, parents, brother and sister-in-law from the Du family. Because the other relatives are all in their hometown, it is not convenient to call them over for the sudden engagement, so Zhao Fangling does not plan to invite them and will invite them when she gets married.
So there weren't many people present, and this long table was big enough to seat everyone.
Before dinner, Luo Li and Jiang Cheng first took Jiang Yufeng and Du Wanying to the front of the big sign.
Luo Li spoke first, "I'm Luo Li. Today, on behalf of Yu Feng and Ying Ying, I want to thank all the relatives and friends for attending their engagement ceremony.
Enjoy good times and get married on auspicious days.
My son Yufeng and Yingying have gone through a journey of meeting, understanding, and falling in love, and are now about to enter the palace of marriage. Thank you all for witnessing this precious and beautiful moment."
As Luo Li finished speaking, warm applause broke out at the scene, and then Luo Li winked at her son.
Jiang Yufeng instantly received the signal from his mother. He knelt on one knee, and a small box appeared in his hand.
He carefully opened the box, and inside lay an emerald green gemstone ring. Du Wanying was so moved that she covered her mouth with her hands.
Jiang Yufeng took out the emerald green gem ring from the small box and looked at Du Wanying affectionately.
"Yingying, will you marry me?"
Du Wanying's eyes were red, and she stretched out her fair and slender hand without hesitation, saying, "I do."
Hearing Du Wanying's words, Jiang Yufeng quickly and skillfully put the ring on Yingying's left middle finger.
Jiang Yufeng didn't know how many times he had practiced before he could put the ring on Yingying's hand so skillfully.
After putting the ring on, Jiang Yufeng stood up and handed the flowers on the table to Du Wanying.
At this moment, Du Wanying shed tears of excitement. You have to know that this was the 1970s. Even in later generations, many people got engaged by just having a simple meal between the two families and paying the betrothal gift.
This is enough to show Jiang Yufeng and the Jiang family's sincerity towards her. It would be strange if Du Wanying was not moved.
Jiang Yufeng wiped the tears from Du Wanying's face with his fingertips. He comforted her softly, "Yingying, don't cry, be good."
Zhao Fangling and Du Shuisheng in the audience were completely relieved about Jiang Yufeng. Seeing his eyes full of Yingying, Zhao Fangling felt a little envious.
When Jiang Cheng saw his son put on the ring, he quickly said, "Good afternoon, dear friends and relatives.
Today is a good day for my two children to get engaged. I am very happy and relieved.
They have also developed a deep relationship along the way, and as parents, we fully support and approve of their engagement today and their future marriage.
Through our contact with Yingying during this period, our whole family feels that Yingying is a good girl who is obedient, sensible, beautiful, gentle and generous.
I have to thank my future in-laws for raising such an outstanding daughter.
The marriage of their children is the common wish of all parents in the world and a major family event. As a parent, I sincerely wish that love will accompany you throughout your life. I hope that you can understand and tolerate each other on the road of life, stand together through thick and thin, and love each other for a lifetime.
Finally, I would like to thank all my relatives and friends for their witness and blessings. "
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, there was another round of enthusiastic applause. He waited for the applause to end and then continued, "Now let Yingying and Yufeng's parents serve tea to their parents."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, someone brought a pair of tea over. The two of them first served tea to Du Shuisheng and Zhao Fangling.
Jiang Yufeng carefully handed a cup of tea to Du Shuisheng: "Dad, please have some tea."
After Du Shuisheng finished his tea, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yufeng. The red envelope contained money for changing his statement.
After taking the red envelope, Jiang Yufeng handed a cup of tea to Zhao Fangling.
Zhao Fangling also drank the tea and handed Jiang Yufeng a red envelope.
Then Du Wanying served tea to her parents. Zhao Fangling looked at her graceful daughter and felt very emotional. In a blink of an eye, her daughter was engaged and was about to get married.
Then the two of them served tea to Luo Li and Jiang Cheng. Although Luo Li had given Du Wanying a red envelope at the door just now, she gave another one now.
This made Du Wanying very happy. Just looking at the thick red envelope, she knew there was a lot of money in it.
By the time the engagement ceremony is successfully concluded, all that remains is the feast.
Soon, people brought dishes to the table. Everyone ate and drank, and the scene was very lively.
After eating for a while, Luo Li took the couple to toast everyone. At this time, an aunt took Du Wanying's hand and said, "Yingying is so beautiful.
Yu Feng is so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife."
After hearing what her aunt said, Du Wanying said nothing, but lowered her head shyly.
After a round of toasts, Du Wanying felt that her skin had become thicker, after all, so many people took turns praising her.
After eating for more than two hours, everyone went back home, and only people from the Du family and the Jiang family were left at home.
Luo Li took Du Wanying, Zhao Fangling and others upstairs and soon arrived at the living room.
Luo Li went back to the house and took out a jewelry box, "Yingying, the ring that Yufeng brought you just now was left by your grandmother to her granddaughter-in-law.
This set of pink diamond jewelry is given to you by your mother, and this box contains 18,800 yuan, which is your betrothal gift."
