Grandpa Sang's eyes were red, but he tried hard not to cry. "You old woman, you say you don't even have a home. Isn't our Xiaoxi getting married this time? He will have a home after he gets married."
"That's a happy event, don't cry."
"Yes, yes, our little Xi 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 his grandmother's tears carefully. "I will bring your granddaughter-in-law back to see you often in the future."
"well."
"By the way, the engagement will be arranged 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 will get 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 dawn broke 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 hit her face.
On the jujube tree in the yard, a magpie that came from nowhere was perched and calling.
"Oh, the magpie is calling 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 betrothal gifts is going to be. 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 the room by her sister-in-law.
According to the custom of Huaihua Village, on the day of engagement, the woman has to stay in her boudoir, and all 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 brother and 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 nephew Gu Yunting came to her house and asked her for help that Gu Yue found out that her eldest brother's daughter Ningning had actually been dating a battalion commander-level military officer with a Beijing household registration, and that the marriage was successful.
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 her heart she 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. So she asked for leave from the factory yesterday and came here today.
To be honest, she originally couldn't stand her eldest brother's family doting on Ningning. She always felt that Ningning was spoiled too much and was afraid that it would bring something bad to the Gu family.
Especially after hearing about what Gu Jianing had done for Wen Zhiqing at the educated youth point, that premonition became even stronger.
Unfortunately, no one, not only her elder brother and sister-in-law, but even her nephews didn't listen to what she said.
She thought that Ningning would eventually marry that Wen Zhiqing, but she didn't expect that she would actually fall in love with an officer and now they were about to get engaged.
As soon as she arrived today and made contact with her, she noticed the change in Ningning and felt that it was a good thing.
I finally put my mind at ease, worrying about my eldest brother's family.
"Sister, you said Ningning married a military officer. Will there be a chance to introduce a military officer to my Minmin in the future?" Gu Yue, who was lost in thought, was interrupted by her younger sister.
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 marry her. You can wait for two more years. When Ningning gets married and joins 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.
Although the four brothers and sisters in the Gu family have all started their own families, they have a good relationship.
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 has reached the age 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 assertive as her elder sister Gu Yue. So, whenever something happens, she would habitually ask her elder sister Gu Yue for help.
At this moment, after receiving the reply from her elder sister, she felt at ease.
At this moment, the sound of a car horn was heard outside.
The two sisters looked at each other, the man is coming!
The officer who had dated Gu Jianing before came to the Gu family with his family to propose marriage!
There was a green jeep parked in front of the Gu family's house, which attracted the attention of everyone in the village. After asking, they found out that it was the officer who had dated 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 Gu's house one by one.
Bicycle, sewing machine, radio...
"Oh my goodness, there's an electric fan. I'm afraid it can turn more than three times."
The people in the fields didn't even bother to work. After hearing the news, they all rushed to Gu's house, eager to watch the excitement.
Yao Chunhua dealt with these people's chattering 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 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 my future son-in-law likes her so much."
"Yes, today is the day for the engagement and the wedding banquet 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 watched Zhao Weihong from afar until she was about to tell Wen Zhiqing the news.
Just what she wanted.
Gu Jianing's luck is just too good. After losing Wen Zhuqing, he got an officer from Beijing. How could 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 lamenting Gu Jianing's good luck.
In the room, Gu Jianing, who was alone, heard the sound outside and knew that Sheng Zexi had come. Thinking of his previous 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 that she would soon meet Sheng Zexi and his grandparents, 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 is 500 yuan for three turns, one sound and an electric fan.
In the countryside, let alone collecting three turns and one ring, even the betrothal gift is just a few dozen dollars at most.
Sheng Zexi spent 500 yuan at once, which really shocked everyone, not to mention other fruits, biscuits, milk powder, and canned fruits.
Such a generous gift naturally shows the importance the man and his family attach to the Gu family and Ningning.
