"My dear in-laws, isn't this a bit too early?"
My eldest son and Haitang have just gotten engaged, but their wedding ceremony hasn't been held yet!
Besides, haven't you spent far too little time with this vanilla and your ocean?
"In-laws, it's not short at all; good things should be done as soon as possible."
Of course, your eldest child made the decision first, so we can just hold the wedding for them first.
Ocean and Vanilla, the two children, have already settled their plans and can get married next May.
My dear in-laws, what do you say?
Look how destined our two families are, and how destined our children are! We're not meant to be family, we'd all be in the same boat.
With the marriage arranged beforehand, the son felt at ease, and the couple felt at ease as well.
"That's fine, let's decide on it first."
Do as you say.
That's what I was thinking too, let's make a decision first.
"It's fate that the two children came together, and it's also fate that brings our two families together."
If we get engaged first, my daughter and the Jiang family's children will have more time to get to know each other.
There are still more than six months until next May Day, which should be enough time.
"Alright, alright, Lao Jiang, you talk to your in-laws about the bride price."
Listen to their thoughts.
Jiang's mother said to her husband.
Jiang's father cleared his throat and said, "Brother Yu, sister-in-law, according to our local custom, we have prepared a bride price of 666 yuan, which symbolizes good fortune and we hope that the children will have a smooth and successful life in the future."
"Take a look, is this okay?"
As he spoke, he handed over the betrothal gifts wrapped in red paper.
Yu Dazhu accepted the betrothal gifts and said with a smile, "Our in-laws' manners are impeccable; we have nothing to say."
I was wondering if it was too much?
But since they've already prepared everything, I can't just turn it back. I'll have to add more dowry later.
Of course, this money will be kept at the bottom of her trunk and given to her when she gets married.
"Mother-in-law, this is the gift list. It's prepared according to the standards of our county. Take it and check it against the list when the time comes."
Then you can check if there's anything you've forgotten. If there is, be sure to tell us and we'll make sure to get it.
We've also prepared the "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three round watches and a radio), which will be delivered this afternoon.
Jiang's mother smiled and took a form, handing it to her daughter-in-law's mother.
"No need to count them, we can trust you."
"Since you've prepared it to the standards of a county town, there's definitely more than enough, so there's no need to replenish it."
Yu Dazhu was surprised that the Jiang family did not dislike their daughter at all; on the contrary, they valued her quite a bit.
You don't even need to look at the gift list; just by looking at the things displayed in the yard, you can tell that the in-laws have put a lot of thought into it.
There aren't that many daughters getting married in rural areas.
At this moment, Yu Xiangcao, who had just returned from outside, had a rosy face like a ripe apple. Under her sister-in-law's half-pushing and half-shoving, she slowly walked out.
Jiang Haiyang's eyes lit up the moment he saw her, and he couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Haitang then moved closer to Yu Xiangcao and said with a grin, "Sister Xiangcao, you're back! From now on, you're my sister-in-law!"
I'm so happy!
Yu Xiangcao lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Uncle, Aunt, Sister Haitang, Brother Jiang, hello."
Liu Sulan also greeted, "Uncle, Aunt, Brother Jiang, Sister-in-law, hello."
She then sat down next to her husband, Yu Chengyuan.
"Xiangcao is back. Come sit down next to your aunt."
Jiang's mother waved to Xiangcao.
Yu Xiangcao was a little reserved, but she still sat down next to Jiang's mother as instructed.
She stole a glance at Jiang Haiyang sitting opposite her and saw him looking at her tenderly.
At this moment, Yu Xiangcao felt a sense of disorientation, as if everything was unreal, like a dream.
He was in such a hurry to propose marriage to me.
She had just agreed to officially date him, and his parents had only just reluctantly accepted him.
She still doesn't understand why Jiang Haiyang, a man of exceptional talent, would choose to fall for her.
However, she didn't dare to look for long and quickly looked away, then poured a cup of tea for Jiang's parents.
"Uncle, Aunt, these are wild chrysanthemums picked from the mountain. They can clear heat and detoxify, and remove liver fire. Please try them; they have a refreshing fragrance bestowed by nature."
Looking at the shy Yu Xiangcao, Jiang's mother became more and more satisfied. She took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and said, "My daughter, this is a gift for you. From now on, when you come to our family, you will be one of us. We will treat you as a daughter of the Jiang family."
Yu Xiangcao quickly declined, "Auntie, this is too precious."
I can't accept it.
She glanced at Jiang Haitang; Jiang Haitang didn't have any either, so how could she accept that?
Although she didn't know much about jade, she could tell from its color that it wasn't bad.
"Silly child, just take it. This is something the Jiang family has passed down to daughters-in-law for generations."
Since you are my Jiang family's future daughter-in-law, this jade bracelet is for you.
If you don't want it, it means you're not satisfied with this marriage and don't like my Haiyang.
"No, Auntie, I didn't mean that, I..."
Yu Xiangcao paused for a moment, then said softly, "I...I like Brother Jiang."
Pan Cuiping smiled and said, "Xiangcao, accept it. This is your mother-in-law's thoughtful gift."
Gifts given by elders cannot be taken back.
Yu Xiangcao blushed and said, "Then I'll accept it!"
“That’s a good child. Now, I’ll put it on for you myself.”
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Jiang's mother slipped the bracelet onto Yu Xiangcao's wrist, thinking to herself that her daughter-in-law was now secure.
