Chapter 653: We Have to Get Things Done Before Her
The eldest sister of the Xiao family laughed heartily: "Haha, look at what you said, Xiaoqiu has been telling me about it for several days, and I am just now ready, so why should I be anxious?
Besides, after graduation, it's time to prepare for the wedding. How can we hold the engagement and wedding at the same time? It's agreed that we can take some time these two days to look into the engagement banquet process and venue."
"Ah? So urgent?"
"Yeah, I didn't think it was so urgent. Tiantian is also arranging her engagement. I thought Xiaoqiu is the elder, so at least I should get things done before her. Then you will be the real elder and it will be legitimate for you to attend.
I'm sorry to bother you, but we'll just have the engagement party with relatives and friends, so it's a smaller scale."
I quickly expressed my stance, "I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged, just keep it simple."
Children from ordinary families like us don’t have any particular requirements for engagement, and most of us get married directly.
Sister Xiao was so enthusiastic that I felt like she was a professional in wedding planning. "How about the day after tomorrow? I'll have your nephew pick you up after school and take you home together."
I was stunned and didn't react. "My nephew?"
"Yes, Xiao Ming, did you forget? Isn't he in the same school as you?"
I stumbled and nearly fell, then after regaining my balance I laughed dryly and said, "No, no, I haven't seen him recently, so I didn't think of him for a moment."
Sister Xiao's tone was a little puzzled. "You haven't seen him recently? Didn't he go to school? No, I have to ask this brat what he's been busy with these days. I'm going to hang up first. We agreed to meet the day after tomorrow, don't forget."
"Okay, sister, let's go~~" Before I could finish my words, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
I felt a little helpless. The eldest sister of the Xiao family had completely different personalities from Xiao Shiqiu. Xiao Shiqiu often acted indifferent and gentle towards others, but always kept his distance.
But his sister acted very familiar. While I was still thinking about maintaining my image in front of her, she no longer treated me as an outsider.
I felt a little nervous after hanging up the phone. Although Lao Xiao had said he wanted to get engaged a long time ago, it still felt a little sudden when it happened.
Maybe it was because all the preparations were left to Sister Xiao, and I didn't participate in the whole process. Suddenly there was a ready-made engagement party that required me to attend, which made me feel quite unreal.
Although engagement is not as important as marriage, it is still a big deal. I think I should discuss it with Lao Xiao.
After thinking about it, I decided to call him. I briefly told him about his sister calling me and finally expressed my opinion.
"I think an engagement is a big deal. Shouldn't we discuss it? Your sister just suddenly proposed an engagement party for me to attend. I don't think there's anything right."
I heard him chuckle softly. "What do you think is wrong? Come on, tell me more and let's discuss it."
"I feel... I feel..." I spent a long while carefully organizing my words before finally uttering, "I feel like we didn't contribute anything to this engagement party. It seemed like it just appeared out of thin air. Don't other people have to work on it for a long time?"
His laughter became noticeably louder. "Who do you think is more experienced and free to handle this right now? My sister has done it twice, so she's a seasoned pro. Aren't you still worried about letting her do it?"
I stammered, "It's not that I'm worried, it's that I feel a little guilty. It feels like I'm stealing the fruits of someone else's labor."
