Chapter 138 Marriage
Mingyue: "Okay."
This is the father-in-law meeting his son-in-law.
Mingyue told Tang Zexu the news, and Tang Zexu danced with joy, "My dad wants to see me?"
Mingyue pinched his waist and said, "What do you mean by our dad? That's my dad."
Tang Zexu grimaced in pain, but he didn't lose, "He will be our father sooner or later."
Tang Zexu made an appointment with Mingyue to go to her house the day after tomorrow, so he had to get ready.
You need to be prepared before going to your father-in-law's house.
He returned to the county that night and shared the incident with his older brother Tang Zeyan.
"Brother, what should I bring when I go to her parents' house?"
You definitely can’t go empty-handed.
This...Tang Zeyan has never been married, so how would he know what to bring? But it would be a good idea to bring canned food, cakes and candies.
I asked Tang Zexu to buy two cans of food, two pounds of pastries, and two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy.
"Brother, do you want me to bring some wine and tea?"
He asked the aunt at the supply and marketing cooperative, and she told him that he should bring wine and tea when he went to propose marriage to a girl.
Tang Zeyan said, "You are just meeting the parents, not the marriage proposal stage. If you want to get married, I, as your brother and parent, must go with you."
"Oh, yes."
"Then I will take these things to Mingyue's house tomorrow."
"OK."
As the eldest unmarried brother, Tang Zeyan remembered an important thing, "You have to buy a pack of cigarettes and light them for your father-in-law."
Tang Zexu: "I'll go buy it." This can't be missing.
Gu's second sister and her husband also made preparations. They killed a chicken, which was the main dish, and also had some fish that Xiaomei and Hongjun had caught.
Just stir-fry some other dishes and you’ll have four of them.
The next day, Tang Zexu changed into new clothes, wore rubber-soled shoes, rode his brother's bicycle, and carried a gift in his hand, looking very grand.
Came to the beloved girl's house.
Mingyue was stunned. Tang Zexu touched his short hair and said with a chuckle, "Brother, you are handsome, right?"
Mingyue, "Why do you bring so many gifts?"
Yes, she was surprised by the gift in his hand, not by his clothes.
Tang Zexu, "Is it a lot? I think it's not enough."
There were too many. He brought the gifts into the house. Second Sister Gu also said, "You are just here, kid. Why do you bring so many gifts?"
However, seeing Tang Zexu coming with so many gifts, his image in the hearts of Gu's second sister and brother-in-law rose to a higher level.
This guy is good!
Tang Zexu entered the house, greeted Gu's second sister and brother-in-law, and lit a cigarette for his future father-in-law.
This time, the head of the family, Tang Zexu, was liked by his future father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
Everyone is very satisfied with him.
Especially the brother-in-law of the Red Army, this brother-in-law is good, he gets candy to eat.
But just as the evil claws reached out to the White Rabbit milk candy, they were cut off by Second Sister Gu, and all the canned candies and pastries were put away.
Tang Zexu had to go back and return his eldest brother's bicycle. In fact, with their family savings, they could buy another bicycle.
However, those savings were all kept in secret. On the surface, his eldest brother was the only one working, so buying another one would be a bit extravagant and unnecessary.
But since he is marrying Mingyue, he can buy one for his wife.
Hehehe, even my wife is called.
Second sister Gu is soft-hearted. When she heard her future son-in-law talking about his family today, she felt so distressed. Her parents died early, and her eldest brother raised her and her siblings. The key is that her eldest brother is not very old, only 24 years old this year.
So when leaving, Second Sister Gu brought Tang Zexu a chicken that had been killed, some eggs, and vegetables and fruits from the backyard.
Seeing Second Sister Gu's action, Tang Zexu suddenly felt that his future mother-in-law was a good person. Apart from Aunt Chen, it seemed that no one else brought anything for them.
Aunt Chen once brought them a watermelon, saying it was grown at home.
Somehow, Tang Zexu felt like crying.
Tang Zeyan also didn't expect that his younger brother would bring back quite a few things after visiting his parents.
"My aunt asked me to take it back to eat." Tang Zexu said.
Tang Zexu brought gifts to Gu's second sister's house. Gu's second sister and brother-in-law thought the young man was good. Tang Zeyan, who saw the things his younger brother brought back, also thought that his future sister-in-law's family would be very good.
It's summer time and the chicken can't be kept anymore, so just stew it.
While cooking, Tang Zeyan asked his brother, "When do you want to get married?"
Tang Zexu, "Brother and I talked today, we are going to get married, and I can only live in the countryside in the future, so I have to have a house in the countryside."
His father-in-law's house had only two rooms. The three sisters lived in one room, and his brother-in-law and his parents slept in another room.
Tang Zeyan said, "Then build a house. It's not comfortable for you to live in the educated youth camp anyway."
His younger brother came back and complained to him, saying that it was not just some educated youth at the educated youth camp who stole his food. Later he bought a lock.
"Then build one, before the autumn harvest."
After that, he discussed the marriage with his brother, "Brother, how much is the appropriate betrothal gift?"
They don't have any elders here, so there's no one to help or give them references.
Tang Zeyan said, "Let's ask them."
Tang Zexu was very anxious, so he said to Tang Zeyan, "Brother, why don't you go with me in two days to settle this matter?"
Tang Zeyan said, "..Okay, if you're in a hurry."
"How about next Sunday?" he asked.
"OK."
Tang Zexu told Mingyue the news when he returned to the village the next day, and Mingyue told her parents.
By the way, I also inquired about how much dowry my parents wanted. Gu Erjie said, "No matter how much we want, we will give it to you. We don't want it."
Mingyue, "Dad and Mom, I know you are good, but you have to give us some advice."
"Fifty" Gu's second sister looked to her second brother-in-law for advice.
Second brother-in-law, "Okay."
Second sister Gu told her mother Su He and the others about this matter, hoping that they could come over and take a look on Sunday.
As for my husband's family, bah!
Not a single one.
So on Sunday, Su He, Gu Jianhua, his mother, and their two children all went.
Of course, the two treasures just showed up and went to play with the three members of the Red Army.
Gu's mother knew Mingyue's boyfriend, Tang Zexu, because she had been to their house before. But it was his eldest brother's first time seeing him. He whispered to Su He, "His eldest brother is also very handsome."
And work.
"If possible, you can marry Chunqing to his brother."
Su He whispered, "Mom, stop picking random girls. Chun Qing already has someone she likes."
Mother Gu asked, "Who is it?"
Su He, "I heard from my second sister that the stone in the back room is good."
The kid from Shitou Bai's family.
That's fine, he's a pretty hardworking guy.
Apart from Chunqing, there are no other suitable girls in their family. They are all still young. Xueer is fifteen years old and Xiaomei is also fifteen years old. Moreover, both of them are still in school.
As for that girl Qingyu, let’s not mention her.
Tang Zeyan looked at Gu's family. His brother's wife's uncle was a police officer, his aunt was a teacher, and he heard that his third aunt and uncle-in-law worked in a textile factory.
Why did he feel that this aunt was very familiar? He was sure that he had never seen her before, but he just felt that she was very familiar, and he didn't know where that sense of familiarity came from.
But I didn't think much about it.
As the head of the family, the elder brother has to discuss his younger brother's marriage with the girl's parents.
