Two days later, in the early morning.
Less than ten minutes after Gao Yan arrived at the courtyard where Gao Jiefang lived and relieved him, Song Qinxue arrived on her bicycle.
"Aunt Xue, you've gone to so much trouble!"
Looking at the items on Song Qinxue's bicycle that were used for the marriage proposal, Gao Yan expressed his gratitude.
"You brat, don't thank me. After you get married, the best way to repay your Uncle Xiao and me is to live a good life together. If you can have a healthy baby boy soon, that would be even better!"
"Don't worry, Aunt Xue, we'll definitely live a good life together. As for whether we can have a healthy baby boy, that depends on fate!"
Gao Yan said with a smile.
As they talked, the two of them each rode a bicycle straight to the Jiang family's house.
The Jiang family was also well prepared and invited many relatives to witness the event. Although it was called a marriage proposal, today was actually considered an engagement, since the wedding date had already been chosen!
After arriving at the Jiang family's house.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were both very enthusiastic.
Gao Yan also introduced Song Qinxue to them.
Song Qinxue is the deputy director of the subdistrict office, so she is definitely good at dealing with people and has high emotional intelligence. She won over Mr. and Mrs. Jiang with just a few words.
Moreover, the gifts she brought for the marriage proposal were also carefully chosen, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were very satisfied.
Finally, the issue of bride price was discussed.
Mr. Jiang waved his hand: "Whether we give a bride price or not doesn't matter. As long as the young couple lives happily after the wedding, we parents will be satisfied!"
Song Qinxue praised Jiang's father and then said, "Parents all hope for the best for their children, but a bride price still needs to be given. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, today I, as Jiefang's aunt, will decide on behalf of Jiefang to give a bride price of 88 yuan. What do you think?"
These days, the amount of betrothal gifts depends on the circumstances.
In rural areas, when a daughter gets married, the usual amount given is 5 yuan, sometimes up to 10 yuan, and sometimes just some grain.
But Jiang Ying is different.
Jiang Ying already has a job, and her salary is not low.
She used to have to give a portion of her salary to her family, but after she got married, she no longer had to give her salary to her parents.
Since Song Qinxue had agreed to help Gao Yan propose marriage, she naturally needed to find out about Jiang Ying's situation beforehand.
Therefore, the figure of 88 yuan was one she had considered many times.
Giving too much would be suspected of selling one's daughter.
Giving too little would be seen as disrespectful.
So, 88 yuan is just the right amount, and it sounds good too.
When they heard that Song Qinxue was going to give a bride price of 88 yuan, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were quite satisfied. After all, in their courtyard, when daughters got married, the bride price was usually 18 yuan, and at most 28 yuan.
The couple felt proud that someone was willing to pay 88 yuan to marry their daughter.
"Sister Song, 88 yuan is too much. How about this, in our courtyard, the maximum we give for a daughter's wedding is 28 yuan. Let Xiao Gao give 28 yuan as well!"
Ultimately, with the insistence of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, the bride price was settled at 28 yuan.
At the same time, Song Qinxue said that the wedding would include all the traditional Chinese wedding accessories, such as a turntable, a watch, a radio, and a telephone, which made Mr. and Mrs. Jiang even more satisfied.
The wedding arrangements are set for October 22nd.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to be alone with her, Jiang Ying whispered the secret code: "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger".
"Chicken stew with mushrooms!"
Upon hearing Gao Yan's reply, Jiang Ying immediately realized that the Gao Jiefang in front of her was actually Gao Yan in disguise, and she was willing to get closer to him.
We had lunch.
Song Qinxue then left with Gao Yan, and Jiang's parents and Jiang Ying saw them off outside the courtyard.
On the way back, Song Qinxue was also in a good mood: "Xiao Gao, you heard the conversation between me and your future in-laws. Do you have any tickets for the 'three turns and one ring'?"
Gao said, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Xue. I will find a way."
"Where are you going to find a way? Scavenging on the black market?"
Song Qinxue teased, "Alright, your Uncle Xiao and I have prepared the tickets for you. Come to my house for dinner tomorrow night, and we'll give you the tickets then!"
"Aunt Xue, you really don't need it. You should use your tickets for Yunfeng's wedding!" Gao Yan declined.
"Yunfeng is still a long way from getting married, and he's currently serving in the military. Who knows when he'll be discharged? Alright, it's settled then. Remember to come over for dinner tomorrow night, and don't bring anything!"
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Gao Yan had no choice but to agree!
Two days later.
No. 4, Chengnan Courtyard.
Upon meeting, Lu Feifei teased, with a hint of jealousy, "You're moving pretty fast! Getting married so soon!"
"What's wrong, are you jealous?"
Gao Yan reached out and pulled Lu Feifei into his arms: "If you want to get married, I'll arrange it for you right away!"
"It's just a fake marriage, as if nobody cares!"
Lu Feifei smiled dismissively.
Hearing this, Gao Yan chuckled inwardly. Lu Feifei was a typical hypocrite.
But it'll be fine after a quick tidying up!
Without saying a word, Gao Yan bent down, picked up Lu Feifei, and strode into the room.
That night.
Gao Yan then made another deal with Zhao Yuzhong, earning 40 million yuan in payment, bringing his total profit to 450 million yuan.
After two more transactions, you can level up 10 levels in a row.
Time passed by gradually.
October has arrived before we knew it.
During the National Day holiday, factories in Beijing were closed.
During the holiday, Gao Yan took Li Mengyao and Li Mengya, the sisters, on a trip around Beijing.
He even took them to climb the Great Wall.
Unfortunately, there are no direct buses to the Great Wall now; you have to ride a bike there.
Fortunately, Li Mengyao and Li Mengya had both taken the gene serum and were full of energy. If it were anyone else, they would probably have collapsed from exhaustion before even reaching their destination.
