The time finally came for the engagement ceremony. Yanbei and his wife Xinru brought their gifts and went to Old Master Lin's house.
The whole family, including all the relatives, came, partly out of curiosity and partly out of respect.
They all knew how much the Lin family valued Zhiyu.
Yanbei also gave 3,000 yuan and a lot of other things, which was quite a sum of money at that time.
However, what is more valuable than this is the identities of Yanbei and Old Master Lin. Chengcai and Zhiyu's engagement can also be considered a marriage alliance between the two families.
Now that the outside world has heard about this, they're not just thinking about a simple engagement, but about the meaning behind it.
Seeing so many people around, Tingting and Jianjun decided that they shouldn't exchange things anymore, because many people would have to pay attention to them in the future.
The attention from the Joseon Dynasty back then made them uneasy, let alone these people.
Don't cause trouble for yourself, and don't cause trouble for others, especially since the secret between the two of them is too big, it's no small matter.
Tingting received a fair amount, neither too much nor too little, which was in line with their situation: 500 yuan.
This is definitely no match for Yanbei and his group, but they have no intention of overtaking them.
Zhiyu's mother remained calm upon seeing all this. Xingzhou had already explained the crux of the matter, so she was no longer so concerned and instead treated Tingting and Jianjun with even greater hospitality.
Looking at this scene, Cheng Cai never imagined that everything in his life would unfold so smoothly.
Looking at everyone on the scene, he felt as if he were reading a book; everything seemed so distant, yet so close to him.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling, but he was very happy and satisfied that such a good girl like Zhiyu could marry him.
Back then, no matter who introduced him to someone, his aunt and uncle refused to let him get married. That scene seemed so vivid in his mind. He didn't know why, but he started thinking about those days.
Perhaps it was a spontaneous expression of feeling, but it also came from immense gratitude and thanks to my aunt and uncle.
It turns out they had thought of all this back then. They were always so insightful and always thinking of him. His aunt treated him even better than her own son. Even his biological parents couldn't have done better than them.
Zhiyu also greeted Tingting and Jianjun warmly. Although she didn't understand many things, she knew that Jianjun and his wife were very important to Chengcai.
So no matter what, she had to respect them, even though she didn't know what kind of people they were, but her grandfather and father had both praised them, and she had heard it a lot.
After the engagement was finalized, many of Yu's mother's friends went to say unpleasant things, but Pei Rong didn't care. After all, compared to her child's happiness, nothing else mattered.
The next day, Cheng Cai and Zhi Yu went to see Ting Ting and Jian Jun, since Jian Jun and the others were like parents to Cheng Cai.
"Auntie, Uncle, Zhiyu and I are here. Are you busy?"
"Chengcai and Zhiyu are here, come in quickly."
"Auntie, Uncle," Zhiyu greeted them as she entered the house, and then greeted Chengcai's younger brother.
“Good child, Zhiyu, we are extremely pleased that Chengcai is engaged to you. When we heard that you agreed, your Uncle Jianjun and I were so happy that we couldn’t sleep all night.”
"From now on, Chengcai is in your hands. If he treats you badly and keeps coming to us, we'll definitely deal with him."
"He's a good guy, and I'll definitely get along well with Cheng Cai from now on," Zhi Yu said shyly.
“Neither your Uncle Jianjun nor I are from Xia City, so we don’t have a house here and can’t cook. We’ll all go out to eat later.”
"Your uncle and I have saved up quite a few industrial vouchers, and we'd like to pick out two watches and a bicycle for you two."
“Don’t look down on the child,” Tingting said to Zhiyu.
"Thank you, Aunt and Uncle. I know how hard it is to buy this watch and bicycle," Zhiyu said, she must be said, she was quite good at talking.
After all, everyone knows that she wouldn't lack these things, but her temper and upbringing are clearly quite good.
Tingting and Jianjun were also very satisfied with Zhiyu, feeling that the child was indeed good, and they were also happy for Chengcai.
"You two hurry up and choose. Don't look at just a few options, just see if they're suitable," Tingting said to them.
“These two are good, let’s take these two,” Zhiyu said.
"Okay, these two it is. And pick two more bicycles, take a look."
After selecting these items, the group went to a restaurant, since they had nothing else to offer and couldn't cook.
"Chengcai loves this hot pot. By the way, Chengcai, you can't always think about studying. You should also pay attention to Zhiyu."
"I understand, Auntie, don't worry."
Hearing Cheng Cai say that, Zhi Yu smiled shyly, feeling secretly pleased.
After finishing their meal, Zhiyu originally intended to go straight home, but Tingting called her back.
"Zhiyu, come here, I have something for you."
"Okay, Auntie, but we've already had quite a lot of food today."
“Let’s go. Chengcai is like my own child to me.”
Cheng Cai was just curious; he already had quite a few of these things.
