After the date was set, the parents of both families often got together to discuss the wedding process. First, the Liu family gave 66,000 yuan, a very auspicious number, and Chen Sipeng doubled it as a dowry for his daughter. Then, as for the three golds, because Liu Qiao was too short to accompany Chen Yun to choose, Feng Yu asked Liu Qiao's sister to accompany her to choose.

They agreed to meet at the entrance of the shopping mall. It was already late autumn, and Chen Yun wore a green cotton jacket, a pair of leggings, and a pair of black leather boots. It was very consistent with her style, and she always looked sweet.

Liu Lu was wearing a camel-colored tweed coat. She was tall and thin, and Chen Yun thought she could be a model.

"Sister Lu."

Liu Lu saw her and smiled faintly: "Yunyun is here, let's go in and see what style you like."

In fact, Chen Yun felt quite inferior to someone like Liu Lu. Liu Lu was a college graduate and worked as a fashion editor in the city. I heard that she would go abroad and her experience and knowledge were much better than hers. Her family conditions were also good. Despite her good family conditions, she worked very hard and taught herself Soviet Russian and French.

Compared to her, Chen Yun is totally useless except for working and reading novels.

There are not many stores selling gold jewelry now. Liu Lu took Chen Yun for a walk and she seemed not very satisfied. Chen Yun knew that she had high standards and she had no say in this matter, so she followed her silently. It was not until Liu Lu approached a counter that she spoke: "Yunyun, you look at the ring first, the ring is the most important."

Chen Yun was very simple in her selection of things. She would decide if she liked something and the price was right. She had her eyes on a gold ring inlaid with purple crystals. "Big sister, can I try this one?"

Liu Lu pointed to another model inlaid with emeralds and asked her: "Would you like to see this one?"

Chen Yun shook her head. That one was nice-looking but too expensive. Liu Qiao's parents were also paid a small salary and they had already given so much as a betrothal gift. She was not someone who would make a fortune from marriage. They had already given her what they should have given and she should not be too greedy.

Liu Lu shrugged and said it was up to her, obviously thinking that her taste was not very good.

Chen Yun chose a fan-shaped necklace, which looks very nice when worn around the neck. She also chose a solid and wide bracelet with a butterfly on the front and a chain at the back.

It was almost dark when we came out of the department store. Chen Yun pointed to the small stir-fry restaurant in front and said, "Sister Lu, why don't we eat here before going back? I'll treat you today."

Liu Lu also felt a little hungry, so she agreed. She calculated that she had some money left over from the money her mother gave her today. Originally, she thought that if it was not enough, she would give a little more, just for her brother. Unexpectedly, the things Chen Yun chose were not expensive, but medium-priced.

She understood a little bit why her mother liked Chen Yun. At least she knew the sufferings of the world. Liu Qiao was so warm to her now, but she didn't ask for a higher price. If she really chose too expensive jewelry today, they wouldn't say anything for the sake of face, but they would inevitably think she was too spendthrift.

"Sister Lu, I ordered three dishes and a soup. Can you please add anything else?" Chen Yun handed her the menu.

Liu Lu looked at the dishes they ordered, including meat, vegetables and a soup, but it was a bit too much for two people, "We can't finish it, right?"

"It's okay, I can finish it. The portions of dishes served in restaurants outside are not too big, not too big." Chen Yun ordered an onion fried egg, a portion of shredded beef with green pepper, another portion of stir-fried bean curd sheets with Chinese cabbage, and a winter melon meatball soup. She felt that Liu Lu had accompanied her for so long to choose, so she should at least treat her to a meal.

"Sister Lu, is An An home alone today? Who will cook?" Chen Yun asked.

Liu Lu shook her head: "Our aunt went back to her hometown recently, so his father should cook today." This is how it is for their dual-working family. They don't have time to take care of the children themselves, so they ask an aunt in the countryside to take care of them and give her some money a month. If the aunt is busy, they have to take care of the children themselves.

"How about we pack up some food and bring it back for An An? We can't finish it anyway. Do you want them to add a chicken leg?" Chen Yun asked.

Liu Lu felt a little embarrassed. Who would pack up the food after eating?

Chen Yun didn't think it was a big deal. Seeing that Liu Lu didn't object, she waited for the dishes to be served and asked the boss to get some take-away boxes. She also bought a box of rice and added two halved chicken legs. Liu Lu was relieved after seeing this. At least she could bring something home for her children to eat, so that her husband and children could have a midnight snack.

The two of them became much closer because of this.

When they left, Chen Yun helped Liu Lu buy a truck and paid for it. Liu Lu felt very relieved. Her future sister-in-law might not be as refined as Lin Jing, who would wipe the table several times with a towel after eating a small dish, but she was very comfortable to be with.

When Liu Lu returned home, Liao Ping had already cooked. His cooking skills were pretty good, but when An An saw the salinated chicken legs her mother brought back, she clamored for some and kept circling around Liu Lu.

Liao Ping put down the newspaper in his hand: "Why did you pack up the food today?" In the past, no matter if the couple went out to eat or do anything else, they would never pack up the food, as they would feel it was embarrassing and shameful.

"It wasn't me who packed the food. It was my brother's girlfriend who packed it. She said she was worried that you and your son would have no food to eat at home." Liu Lu said.

"Looks like she knows how to live." Liao Ping could only judge like this. After all, he also knew the person Liu Qiao was looking for. To be honest, her qualifications seemed average to him. Especially her education level, she was only a technical secondary school graduate. Although technical secondary school graduates are still very popular when it comes to job assignments, Liu Qiao's position was high. After joining the army, he went to military school, so he was considered a college graduate. With these conditions, he should be able to find someone better.

Liu Lu rolled her eyes at him, knowing exactly what her husband meant. "Alright, this is Liu Qiao's choice. You know that he has dated several girls since he broke up with Lin Jing, but he didn't think they were good. He chose Chen Yun at first sight and wanted to marry her right away. Besides, you know the relationship between the Chen family and ours, we know each other well. Her family is considered wealthy in Jiangcheng, so there won't be any family burden when the two of them get married in the future, which is not bad. You have to think about it, she is eight years younger than Liu Qiao."

Liao Ping still believes that it is better to be well-matched. Only when they have similar education and background can they have something to talk about. Otherwise, there will be many conflicts when they are together.

Of course, he didn't need to say such things. After all, the Liu family had agreed to it. What else could he say? Besides, even if he really said it, his father-in-law, mother-in-law and Liu Qiao might not listen to him.
