When Ning He heard that it was Jiang Huaizhi, she stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck.
Sure enough, at the back of the crowd, I saw Jiang Huaizhi and Yu Nianbai walking side by side.
There was no expression on either of their faces. Compared to the smiles on the faces of this group of people, the two of them really looked out of place in the crowd.
Ning He asked, "Are they here to propose marriage?"
He Shaochuan retracted his gaze: "Whether or not to propose marriage is none of our business."
Ning He nodded, it really didn’t matter.
Just as the two were about to turn around and go back to the house, Wang Juan, who was at the front of the crowd, saw Ning He and the others.
He quickly called her: "He family, my daughter and son-in-law are rarely home today, you can also come over for lunch!"
Yu Chao laughed at the side and said, "Mom, this is not good, right? Someone wanted to marry my sister but failed, and ended up marrying a tigress. If they were to come to the banquet, I wonder if they would regret it so much that they would not be able to eat."
The gangsters who were hanging out with Yu Chao also laughed and joked, "Haha, what a pity that he didn't get married. How can a mere regiment commander compare with a division commander?"
"That's right, Yu Chao. From now on, we will all call you our brother-in-law."
There was constant laughter and praise from the crowd.
They all praised the Yu family for this good marriage, and their eyes looked at the Yu family with approval and respect.
Wang Juan stopped, let the crowd disperse, and made a wide path, waiting for Jiang Huaizhi and Yu Nianbai to come forward.
Wang Juan looked at them with a smile on her face, and her tone was polite and respectful.
"Huaizhi, this is our home, come in and sit down."
Jiang Huaizhi did not come alone. Jiang Yuanzhao sent two drivers to drive them here. One car was for the passengers, and the other was for the betrothal gifts for the Yu family.
When they were at the entrance of the village, the villagers came spontaneously to help carry Yu home.
The sight of these things alone shocked the villagers.
Two live pigs, two big carps, two large bags of rice and flour, five chickens and ducks, ten baskets of eggs, ten large bags of wedding candies, five Red Double Happiness ribbons, five cans of fine tea, and several bottles of good wine that Jiang Yuanzhao had collected for several years, as well as the finest cloths of various fine materials.
The villagers were stunned by the betrothal gifts alone.
These things add up to tens of thousands of yuan, enough to last for several years. In this impoverished era, anyone who can own these things can be the first family in their village to escape poverty.
Jiang Huaizhi did not respond to Wang Juan's words, but walked over the fence and looked at He Shaochuan and Ning He.
"Captain He, it's rare to meet you, would you like to have a meal together?"
There is no reason to refuse Jiang Huai's invitation.
"Okay, congratulations to Commander Jiang as well." He Shaochuan replied.
Jiang Huaizhi smiled faintly: "Thank you."
Wang Juan saw this, her face turned pale and blue, and she didn't know what to say.
She asked Yu Chao to set up the tables and chairs. The enthusiastic villagers put down the betrothal gifts, and Wang Juan did not even invite anyone to have a cup of tea. She just sent the group of villagers away.
The villagers took Jiang Huaizhi's presence into consideration and suppressed their anger.
Only after all the villagers left did Wang Juan smile again and look at Jiang Huaizhi with a smile.
"Huaizhi, didn't your sister and brother-in-law come with you today?"
Jiang Huaizhi glanced at Wang Juan calmly and said, "It's me and Nianbai who are getting married. It has nothing to do with them."
Wang Juan was choked by him and quickly shut her mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Huaizhi, it's all right if you come."
"Aunt, are you satisfied with the betrothal gift?" Jiang Huaizhi asked directly.
The question was asked to Wang Juan, who was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied with a smile: "Satisfied, very satisfied!"
Jiang Huaizhi raised the corner of his lips slightly, and he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Wang Juan.
"Since Auntie is satisfied, you can all sign it."
Wang Juan looked at the paper Jiang Huaizhi handed her, with dense handwriting on it, and her mind went blank.
"What is this?" Wang Juan asked Jiang Huaizhi with a confused look on her face.
Jiang Huaizhi didn't say anything, but looked at Yu Chao who was standing next to Wang Juan: "Auntie can't read, but Yu Chao should be able to read a few characters, right? Let him see."
Yu Chao was stunned when he was called. When he met Jiang Huaizhi's cold eyes, Yu Chao didn't dare to say anything. He gritted his teeth and moved closer to look at the densely packed paper.
After reading it for a long time, Yu Chao didn't say a word. Wang Juan couldn't wait any longer and asked him, "Chao'er, what's written on it?"
Yu Chao scratched his hair and said with difficulty: "I wrote several twos, several tens, and several fives."
Wang Juan was confused and asked him anxiously: "Then tell me quickly, what does this mean?"
Yu Chao was pushed to the point of having no choice but to retort impatiently, "Mom, you keep asking me, I haven't had many years of education, you know that!"
Ning He saw that Jiang Huai had ulterior motives, and she was particularly looking forward to this good show, so she finally couldn't help but speak.
"Aunt Wang, Yu Chao can't understand it, but I can. Can I help you take a look?" Ning He said with a smile.
Wang Juan looked at Ning He with vigilance and asked Ning He to look at what her son-in-law gave her. How was this possible? ! She wouldn't be that stupid!
But before Wang Juan could speak, Jiang Huaizhi said, "Captain He is a soldier that my brother-in-law values. I heard that his wife is also very capable in the army. Since I can't understand it, I'd like to trouble Captain He's wife to help me take a look."
The capital of Jianghuai had spoken, so how could Wang Juan dare to resist? She could only put on a smile and pass the paper in her hand over the fence to Ning He.
The moment Wang Juan turned around, her face instantly darkened. She lowered her voice and warned Ning He with gritted teeth.
"Don't play any tricks on me!"
Ning He took it with a smile, and pretended to be dumbfounded, "Aunt Wang, I can't wait to curry your favor, so I dare not play any tricks."
Ning He took the paper and looked down at it.
After Wang Juan took the paper from Ning He, she stared at Ning He's expression closely. If she found any flaw, she would snatch the paper away.
But Ning He looked at it for a long time, and there was no change in his expression.
Ning He raised her head quickly, a look of joy on her face: "Aunt Wang, this is the betrothal gift confirmation form."
Wang Juan asked in bewilderment, "Dowry confirmation form? What is this?"
"It's how much betrothal gifts Master Jiang gave your family today. After you check and make sure there is no problem, just sign on it. It means that you are very satisfied with the betrothal gifts and have accepted them. Only if you accept the betrothal gifts, you have also accepted Master Jiang as your son-in-law."
As soon as Ning He finished speaking, Yu Chao beside Wang Juan suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly said, "Mom, I know! What should be written on this piece of paper is: two live pigs, two big carps, two bags of rice, two bags of noodles, five chickens, five ducks, ten baskets of eggs, ten bags of wedding candies, five Double Happiness ribbons, five cans of tea... These things are indeed confirming the betrothal gifts with us."
