Chapter 9: Parents decide all your life affairs (Page 1/2)

Helping an old lady cross the road is risky, but she was not afraid at the time because there were two other students with her.

So when she saw the aunt like that, she stepped forward to help.

The aunt asked her about her identity, and she said she was upright and honest, even though she was asked this.

She also briefly introduced herself as the daughter of the Jiang family from the Five-Star Brigade, and that she had come to teach at the town's primary school.

When Han's mother heard this, she was very happy and took her aside to greet her, saying that her son was engaged to her cousin, and they would be relatives from now on!

However, her relationship with Jiang Yue was ordinary, and she didn't take this future relative seriously at all. She just smiled politely.

But I didn't expect that in the end I would end up meeting her son. The world is so unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qian also smiled, "That is true, but it has been a long time."

Matchmaker Zhang was all smiles. "It's been a long time, but your Aunt Han has always remembered it. When she heard me say that she wanted you to meet Shiguo, she immediately agreed. If it wasn't too late yesterday, she would have wanted to ask me to talk to her overnight. But it doesn't matter, we can still make it today. I came here early this morning to ask what you think. If you are willing, then you can meet each other. Qianqian has a day off today, right? You can meet each other and see if Qianqian is satisfied with Shiguo. If she is, forty-eight legs will not be missing. Shiguo also promised to prepare three turns and one ring in addition to a hundred gifts. Oh, look at this kind of gift, and Han Shiguo is such a talented and handsome man, don't even mention how satisfied he is with you, Qianqian!"

When these words came out, not only Zhou Guiyun and her three sisters-in-law looked at them sideways, but even Jiang Qian couldn't help but be surprised.

The three turns and one ring represent the radio, bicycle, sewing machine and watch, terms that only appeared in the late 1950s.

It is usually used in marriages between men and women as a betrothal gift.

But only in big cities, well-off families could afford to buy three roubles and one ring. But in 1968, not many years had passed since the famine ended, and how many families were so poor that they couldn't even afford to wear pants!

As for the forty-eight legs, they are: four legs for the double bed, four legs for the dining table, sixteen legs for four chairs, eight legs for two boxes, four legs for a flat cupboard, four legs for a large wardrobe, four legs for a small wardrobe, and four legs for a small coffee table.

It is very respectable to have thirty-six legs when getting married.

But because the Jiang family didn't want to marry into the Wang family, the Wang family gave them forty-eight legs and promised a sewing machine with a gift of fifty yuan.

This is actually a lot of money to spend.

This proves that the Wang family is indeed satisfied with Jiang Qian and sincerely wants to marry her.

Because of this, and the fact that Lao Wang's family is indeed quite good, we agreed to the blind date.

However, the conditions offered by the Wang family were instantly crushed by the Han family.

"I heard that the Wang family offered a high bride price. Are they trying to outdo them?" Zhao Aifeng couldn't help but ask.

Could it be that Matchmaker Zhang told others about the blind date that Old Wang almost arranged for my younger sister?

"No, no." Matchmaker Zhang said quickly, "I don't have that much mouth to say these things. I promised not to tell you, and even if you use a cattail, you can't pry my mouth open. This was all Han Shiguo's own suggestion. When he heard that I was talking about Qianqian, he told me to add the three turns and one ring!"

This kind of sincerity can be said to be very sufficient!

However, Zhou Guiyun and her mother-in-law all looked at Jiang Qian. They were very good at grasping the key points. "Han Shiguo is satisfied with my Qianqian? Just because Qianqian helped his mother?"
