After this matter was settled, Tian quickly found a matchmaker and went to Yan Fusheng's house to propose marriage. Yan Fusheng's family was naturally very happy. When they went, Haitang was so embarrassed that she hid in the house and refused to come out. Her mother Fang had to invite her several times before she came out with a blushing face.
"You kid, you didn't even see your Aunt Tian. That's outrageous," Fang said jokingly, looking at Tian with a smile. "When I told her about it yesterday, she was so happy. I didn't see her feel embarrassed at all."
"Oh, Mom, please stop talking. It's so embarrassing." Haitang's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out when she heard what her mother said.
Tian also smiled. "I like her personality. She's similar to our Shufeng." Tian took Haitang's hand and said, "Our Shuwen is so old. When I asked him to get married before, he always gave me excuses. But this time, I asked you, and he agreed without even thinking. So, our two families are destined to be together. If you agree, I will set a date with your mother."
Haitang looked at her parents and the matchmaker in the room, smiled and nodded to Tian.
Everyone in the room laughed happily, and they agreed to make a decision three days later and discuss the big day then.
When the people in the village learned about this, they all said that Yan Fusheng's family was very lucky to have a good daughter who would marry into a wealthy family.
The next day, after all the family members gathered, they began to discuss the engagement.
"Dashan, this is a big deal for the child. You and Shuwen should come with me the day after tomorrow. I'll go to town tomorrow to buy some cloth and jewelry. We have the means now, so we should give her enough face and pay more attention to her."
"Okay, we won't go out for the next two days. You can decide. We'll go together then."
"Sister-in-law, Shuwen said that as her aunt, I also want to join in the fun. I will go to see her the day after tomorrow. I haven't had much contact with that girl, but I have to see this niece-in-law."
Tian smiled and said, "If you can go, I will be more than happy. Don't you know that the villagers now regard you as a bodhisattva? If you go, our Shuwen will be more honored."
"Aunt, can Pan'er and I go and take a look?" Shuduo asked in a low voice.
"If you want to go, then come along. It's more lively with more people and the woman will be more proud and happy."
Zhou looked at everyone present and said, "We're all in the village anyway, so why not just go and sit down and have a chat? I'll help you decide on a date later."
Yan Bingfa nodded, "That's right, then let's all go."
"Sister-in-law, why are you still buying cloth? Didn't Fu Zongming give you a lot of cloth last time? Now is the time to use it."
"Yes, yes, those are all top-quality cloths. We still have several pieces left after giving them to Duo'er and the others. You reminded me, little sister. But I still have to go to the jewelry store tomorrow to buy two pieces of jewelry."
"I'm going with you. I have to buy some gifts too."
"Chunxiao, you can spend money, but you can't exceed your sister-in-law's gift tomorrow." Zhou reminded.
"Mom, do you think I'm stupid? I don't even know this. I'll wait for my sister-in-law to pick one tomorrow and then I'll choose one. Don't worry."
Shuwen listened to them discussing their own affairs and grinned with pride.
On the third day, Shuwen brought two big white geese bought from the town, and Yan Dashan led the whole family to Yan Fusheng's house.
A number of people were already seated at Yan Fusheng's house, likely relatives who had come to show their support after learning of the engagement. Also following along were a number of young women and wives from the village who had come to watch the fun.
Fang invited them to sit in the yard, where two large red tables had already been set up. Although Haitang was not in a happy mood today, she was dressed very neatly. When she saw people coming, she consciously served them tea and then stood aside obediently.
Yan Fusheng and his son chatted with Yan Bangfa and the others. They had not expected such a big scene at Tian’s house, with the whole family coming. They couldn’t help but feel happy.
This was also Chunxiao's first time to attend such a wedding ceremony. Before, Shufeng was considered her in-laws, so she had never made such preparations. This was a very new thing for her.
She looked at Haitang who was standing beside her. Haitang noticed her gaze and looked at her, revealing a faint dimple. She was indeed a girl who made people happy. Seeing Tian take out the gift, she also took out the gift and handed it over.
"This is my gift to Haitang. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
Tian gave a silver hairpin with a pendant, and she gave a pair of silver earrings. It is said that the gift of a meeting should not be too expensive, and she didn't know what principle this was. Fortunately, although the things she chose were not expensive, the styles were acceptable, and it could be considered a token of her thoughtfulness.
At Fang's suggestion, Haitang accepted the gift with a smile on her face. Then they discussed the date. Shuduo and Haitang were one year apart in age and got along very well. While the adults were discussing the date, they gathered together to talk.
"It's already the beginning of May, and I think it's better to set the date earlier." Yan Bingfa sat among the elders. "Both sides still need time to prepare. What do you think about setting it for the eighth day of the eighth month?"
Yan Fusheng and his family agreed without hesitation.
We agreed to discuss the date together. Chunxiao looked at Tian with some amusement. Tian was particularly happy today and she was smiling no matter what was said.
Everyone agreed on a date and had lunch at Yan Fusheng's house before returning home.
"Dad, the date has been set. Should we inform my second brother and the others?" As the eldest son and grandson in the family, getting married is a very important event for Shuwen.
"Of course I have to inform you." Yan Bingfa looked at Chunxiao, "Chunxiao, Dongsheng's car dealership has already started running, right? Could you help deliver the letter?"
