At the beginning of the meal, everyone was lively and cheerful, talking and laughing, but after Hongmei came over and made a fuss, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Shen Juan looked at the two children and said as if nothing had happened, "Don't just stand there. If you don't eat for a while, the food will get cold. Eat quickly."
Everyone then started to eat.
At the beginning, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. After a while, Bai Yaotian spoke first to break the strange atmosphere.
"Xiao Lu, right?"
Bai Yaotian was always serious when facing Lu Siting. He asked, "What do you do? I think my daughter told me that you are a soldier?"
Putting down his chopsticks, Lu Siting turned slightly and replied: "Yes, uncle, I joined the army after graduation, and my current position is battalion commander."
Lu Siting can become a battalion commander at the age of only twenty-something. He is young and promising, and his future is limitless. It is hard to say what position he will reach in the future.
As Bai Wei's father, Bai Yaotian also knows what kind of man his daughter likes. The man in front of him can be said to be completely in line with his daughter's aesthetic taste.
Moreover, although Lu Siting is a battalion commander, he will not order people around casually.
The two met through a blind date. It was Lu Shiting's first time visiting the house, but he was able to cook such a big table of food. He has no so-called male chauvinism. It's no wonder that girls nowadays like such men.
Bai Yaotian looked at him and nodded secretly.
Although they had only met for a short time, Bai Yaotian really couldn't find any fault with Lu Siting from the moment he came to his house to the time he cooked.
He performed very well.
Bai Yaotian was very satisfied with his son-in-law.
As long as he has good character and treats his daughter well in the future, Bai Yaotian has nothing much to say.
After finishing the meal, they sat down and started talking about getting married.
Although the two have already obtained their marriage certificate, there is no need to talk about the wedding gifts and engagement. Just keep it simple.
But you can't save on the necessary things, such as the bride price and dowry.
"Xiao Lu, since you have already obtained the marriage certificate, we are also a family, so we should make it clear what needs to be said. What is the situation on your side, and how much is the betrothal gift?"
In this era, the amount of money given for a bride price is generally not that much, but families with some money will prepare four or eight items.
The betrothal gifts in rural areas are usually 66, 88, or 188 yuan. If there is a cash register or a sewing machine, the whole village will come to watch.
The bride price in the county will be higher, as everyone seeks a more auspicious number, such as six hundred and sixty-six, or eight hundred and eighty-eight, which are already very high bride prices.
If you add four or eight items, it would be a perfect wedding.
However, a high bride price means a good family condition.
Lu Siting is a soldier and a battalion commander, so his monthly salary should be quite high.
But he and Bai Wei got married after only knowing each other for one day. Even if it was love at first sight, they don't have much affection for each other now. How much dowry can he give?
Bai Wei also glanced sideways and looked at Lu Siting.
Although she doesn't mind the amount of the bride price, it's not like she can't make money herself.
But there is a saying that goes.
If a man spends money on you, he may love you, but if he doesn’t even spend money on you, he definitely doesn’t love you.
Although they just met today and it's too early to say they love each other, at least this shows whether the other party values them.
So Bai Wei still cares about it very much.
Lu Siting didn't think for too long. He looked at Bai Wei, then turned to Bai Yaotian and said, "One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight. What do you think?"
