Chapter 393 A TV + 600 yuan gift

The fall semester in West Germany starts in October, and those who go there as exchange students or study abroad have to leave in early September.

After it was decided, Su Mo wrote a letter to inform Lu Xiaolan and Lu Boming about it.

To Lu Xiaolan, Su Mo is not only a sister-in-law, but also a close friend. She naturally hopes that Su Mo will be present when she remarries.

Ding Zhicheng had previously agreed with Lu Xiaolan that he would go to Lujia Village to propose marriage at the end of August, and then set up a wine party there. Now that they had to save Su Mo's time, the two moved the time forward to early August, so that Su Mo could go back after drinking and rest before going abroad.

After hiring enough staff, Su Tingqian and his wife no longer had to do everything themselves.

With time, they thought about their daughter and how she had been married to Lu Changzheng for so long, but they had not met his in-laws yet. In early August, the couple followed Zhang Zhen and Su Mo to Lujia Village.

Of course, they took a plane. Although the air ticket was not cheap, they had the money and it was good to save time.

When they arrived in Harbin, the group first went to the guesthouse where Ding Zhicheng was staying. He was already waiting there to meet up with them.

When they went to Ding Zhicheng's room, Su Mo saw a large box inside, with many wooden strips nailed to the edges to prevent bumps.

"Zhicheng, what are you carrying?" Su Tingqian asked.

"I asked someone to buy the TV set as a betrothal gift for Xiaolan. Her family had no shortage of money, so I bought a TV set so that the old man could watch TV to relieve his boredom."

"My in-laws are very happy for such thoughtfulness." Xiao Ding is an honest person, and Xiaolan can marry him.

Ding Zhicheng smiled sheepishly, "As long as they like it."

To be honest, Ding Zhicheng was really nervous, fearing that Xiaolan's parents would not like him.

After all, his parents are gone, and he has no brothers or sisters. Although he has recognized his godfather, some elderly people think that he is a loner and they don't like it, thinking that if anything happens, there will be no one to help him.

Su Tingqian patted Xiao Ding on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, relax." An ugly son-in-law will have to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Su Tingqian recalled that when Lu Changzheng first met them, he threatened them.

Humph! This kid!

Mo Yurong saw Su Tingqian's look and laughed at him, "You are also very nervous, otherwise why would you dye your hair?"

Su Tingqian's hair had turned mostly gray because of his previous demotion. This time, thinking about meeting his in-laws, he went to the Friendship Store to buy hair dye and dyed his hair black.

Ding Zhicheng was nervous and only then did he notice that Su Tingqian's hair had turned black, "Brother Qian, I was wondering why you suddenly became so young, it turns out that your hair turned black."

Su Tingqian didn't like what he heard, "Why? Am I old?" He was not even fifty yet, and was in his prime.

Over the years, Su Tingqian's health has long been restored. Even with his gray hair, he is still a refined and elegant uncle. Now that his hair is dyed black, he looks even younger. People would believe he is in his thirties or forties.

"Look at me, I'm dumb and can't speak. Brother Qian, you are always strong and healthy." Ding Zhicheng quickly made up for it.

Su Tingqian: ...If you can't speak, don't speak.

Mo Yurong smiled secretly, but she still helped to change the subject.

"Zhicheng, when you propose marriage, what are your plans? Tell us first, so Uncle Zhang can have a good idea."

Speaking of business, Ding Zhicheng immediately sat up straight and said,

"Xiaolan has been subject to a lot of gossip in their village because of her previous divorce. I want to give her as much respect as possible."

"Here's my plan. The betrothal gift is a TV and 600 yuan. In addition, we will set up a banquet there and try to invite everyone in the whole brigade." He had to let those people know that Xiaolan was his treasure even if it was her second marriage.

Although Ding Zhicheng had been in the cowshed for two years, he had worked for so many years and did not have to support his family, so he had saved some money. Apart from anything else, he could still give Lu Xiaolan a respectable wedding.

After listening to this, Zhang Zhen said, "Okay, let's do as you say."

After Su Tingqian and his family left, Ding Zhicheng took out 600 yuan from his luggage bag and gave it to Zhang Zhen, "Godfather, this is the betrothal money, take it and give it to Xiaolan's parents."

Zhang Zhen glared at him, "Whose son has to pay for the betrothal money when he gets married?"

"Godfather, I..."

Zhang Zhen interrupted, "Don't worry, I, your godfather, can afford this little betrothal money."

"Why? You don't want me to pay for it, and you don't plan to support me in my old age?" Zhang Zhen deliberately said something sarcastic.

Ding Zhicheng waved his hands quickly, "How could that be, even if..." Even if he called him godfather, in Ding Zhicheng's heart, he still respected Zhang Zhen as a leader who had done him a favor.

"Zhicheng, I really treat you as my son. There's no need to be so polite between you and me. As a parent, we still have to bear what we should bear." Zhang Zhen said.

Arranging a wedding for your child is also a kind of family happiness.

"Once you get married, you are no longer alone. There are many places to spend money. You still have to study in college for another two years before you can graduate. Keep the money in your hand for your family in the future. I, your father, am not short of money!"

Zhang Zhen has been an official for so long and worked in the library for several years, so naturally he has saved a lot of money.

Even last year, when he came out to help Su Tingqian manage the studio, Su Tingqian also gave him a monthly salary of 80 yuan, and also provided food and accommodation, so there was no place to spend money.

Zhang Zhen said this, Ding Zhicheng was deeply moved. His parents died early, and he had not felt this kind of love for many years.

"Godfather, don't worry, I will respect you well in the future." Ding Zhicheng's eyes were wet.

"Okay! Then I will arrange this matter, and I guarantee that it will be done in a decent way for you." He brought 2,000 yuan this time, so things will definitely be done in a decent way.

In the evening, the group went to the department store in Harbin again and bought a lot of things. The next morning, they took the train to Shuangshan City.

When they arrived in Shuangshan City, they still took the army's transport vehicle back to Lujia Village.

Lujia Village Lu's family.

Knowing that the new aunt and in-laws were coming, Li Yue'e and Lu Qing'an started to get busy two days ago, and directly asked for leave, and did not even go to work.

First, I cleaned my home and the room on Lu Changzheng's side inside and out. I wiped the windows clean with water and even washed the floor.

The bedding was also washed and unpacked. Li Yue'e even wanted to starch it, but Lu Xiaolan stopped her, saying that it was not done that way in the south and they were not used to it.

Lu Qing'an ordered a sheep from the brigade first, and when the two relatives arrived, he would kill the sheep and chicken to entertain them.

In the couple's expectation, Su Mo and her group finally returned to Lujia Village.
