Grandpa Sang's eyes were red, but he tried hard not to cry. "You old woman, what are you talking about? You don't even have a home. Our Xiaoxi is getting married this time. He will have a home after he gets married."
"It's a happy occasion, don't cry."
"Yes, yes, our Xiaoxi is going to have a wife and a family. I won't cry, I won't cry."
Sheng Zexi took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from his grandmother's eyes. "I will bring your grandson's wife back to visit you often in the future."
"well."
"By the way, the engagement will be held tomorrow. Have you prepared all the gifts?"
The two old people began to check Sheng Zexi's betrothal gifts, fearing that something might be missing.
Sheng Zexi looked at his busy grandparents, and the warmth in his heart spread little by little.
Thinking that tomorrow is the day when Gu Jianing and I are getting engaged, this warmth adds a lot of sweetness.
In the evening, there was a drizzle, adding a bit of coolness to this winter day. When it got light in the morning, the rain stopped, and the sun broke through the clouds, shedding the morning light.
As soon as Yao Chunhua opened the door, fresh air rushed towards her face.
On the jujube tree in the yard, a magpie that came from nowhere was perched and calling out.
"Oh, the magpie is chirping on the branch. This is a good sign." Yang Manman came out of the room holding a book and said.
"Today is the day Ningning is getting engaged and the day of the betrothal gift. It will definitely be auspicious." Yao Chunhua smiled happily.
While having breakfast, Gu Jianing also learned about this and felt better.
"Sister-in-law, please go back to your room. I'll call you when I need you to come out later." After breakfast, Gu Jianing was called back to her room by her sister-in-law.
According to the custom of Huaihua Village, on the day of engagement, the woman has to stay in the maiden's room. Matters related to the engagement are handled by the woman and the relatives she has invited. Only when everything is almost done will the woman come out to meet the man and his elders.
On the Gu family side, Yao Chunhua invited her younger sister-in-law Lin Qiaoyun who lived in the old house, as well as her elder sister-in-law Gu Yue who married to the county town, and her younger sister-in-law Gu Rou who married to the neighboring Xinghua Village.
It was not until two days ago when her eldest nephew Gu Yunting went to her house and asked her to help that Gu Yue found out that her eldest brother's daughter Ning Ning had actually been dating a military officer with the rank of battalion commander who had a Beijing household registration, and that they were married.
Now, the man is about to come and propose marriage, so the Gu family has to ask relatives for help.
Gu Yue quickly agreed, but in his heart he felt that Ningning was such a lucky girl.
Gu Yue is a female worker in a food factory. After she got married, she took over her mother-in-law's job. Yesterday, she asked for leave from the factory and came today.
To be honest, she was a little uncomfortable with the way her eldest brother's family spoiled Ningning. She always felt that Ningning was spoiled too much and was afraid that it would bring bad things to the Gu family.
Especially after hearing about what Gu Jianing had done for Wen, a educated youth at the educated youth site, that premonition became even stronger.
Unfortunately, no one, not only her elder brother and sister-in-law, but even her nephews, listened to what she said.
She thought that Ningning would eventually marry that educated youth Wen, but she never expected that she would actually date a military officer and now they were going to get engaged.
As soon as she arrived today and came into contact with her, she noticed the changes in Ningning and felt that this was a good thing.
I finally put my mind at ease, worrying about my eldest brother's family.
"Sister, Ningning is married to a military officer. Will there be a chance to introduce a military officer to my daughter Minmin in the future?" Gu Yue, who was lost in thought, was interrupted by her younger sister's words.
Seeing the envy in her younger sister's eyes, Gu Yue said, "Maybe there will be a chance in the future. Minmin is still young anyway, only 16 years old. Don't rush to find her a date. You can wait for two more years. When Ningning gets married and follows the army, she will get familiar with the people there, and then maybe there will be a chance."
"Okay." Gu Rou was very happy to get the reply.
The four brothers and sisters in the Gu family have a good relationship even though they have all started their own families.
Gu Yue and her younger sister Gu Rou have had a very good relationship since childhood. Gu Yue gave birth to two sons, so she doesn't have to worry about finding a son-in-law. Her younger sister Gu Rou gave birth to two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter is Minmin, who is 16 years old this year. In the village, she is old enough to get married.
I'm just a little worried because I can't pick a good one.
Gu Rou has never had any ideas and is not as cheerful and opinionated as her elder sister Gu Yue. So, whenever something happens, she will habitually ask her elder sister Gu Yue for help.
Now, after receiving a reply from her elder sister, she felt relieved.
At this moment, the sound of a car horn came from outside.
The two sisters looked at each other, the man is here!
The military officer who had dated Gu Jianing before has come to the Gu family with his family to propose marriage!
There was a green jeep parked at the door of Gu's house, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the village. Upon asking, they found out that it was the military officer who had been dating Gu Jianing before who came to propose marriage and make an engagement.
Look, there is a truck following behind, and the things on the truck are being moved to the customer's house one by one.
Bicycle, sewing machine, radio...
"Oh my goodness, there's an electric fan. I'm sure it can do more than three turns."
The people in the fields were too busy to work. Upon hearing the news, they all rushed to Gu's house, eager to see the excitement.
Yao Chunhua dealt with these people's chatter one by one.
"Oh, my son-in-law is from Jing City."
"Yes, he is an officer, an officer in the Northwest region, battalion-level, with a salary of 100 yuan a month."
"When my daughter Ningning gets married, she will join the army."
"What do you mean by my Ningning is lucky? My Ningning is good-looking and has a good personality, so I, the future son-in-law, like her so much."
"Yes, today is the day for the engagement. The wedding will be held in 12 days. Everyone should come then."
When Zhao Weihong heard the news, his face lit up with joy and he immediately ran to the educated youth site.
Li Juan looked at Zhao Weihong from a distance until she was about to tell Wen Zhiqing the news.
Just what she wanted.
It's just that Gu Jianing's luck is too good. After losing Wen Zhuqing, he got a military officer from Beijing. How can he be so lucky?
Li Juan's thoughts at this moment were the same as those of most girls in the village, who were all sighing at Gu Jianing's good luck.
Gu Jianing, who was alone in the room, heard the sound outside and knew that Sheng Zexi had come. Thinking of his past life, he was reborn and bound to the system, and now he had the opportunity to choose his life again.
How can she not be considered lucky?
Thinking about meeting Sheng Zexi and his grandparents soon, Gu Jianing couldn't help feeling a little nervous as she kept looking at her makeup in a small mirror.
At this time, everyone in the Gu family was stunned by the betrothal gift sent by Sheng Zexi.
The gift price for a three-turn, one-sound and electric fan is 500 yuan.
In the countryside, let alone the three turns and one ring, even the betrothal gift is only a few dozen yuan at most.
Sheng Zexi spent 500 yuan at once, which really shocked everyone, not to mention the other fruits, cookies, milk powder, and canned fruits.
Such a generous gift is naturally a reflection of the importance the man and his family attach to the Gu family and Ningning.
