Na Ru was speechless for a while, feeling that this couple was indeed unafraid of the world.
Forget it, I’ll go back tonight and see what Dad says.
The two of them walked out of the room and began to record what items they needed to prepare. It was just a simple renovation, and the house had not been greatly changed, so some carved beams and painted buildings could still be seen here and there.
Xia Youyou had a big idea and pulled Na Ru to Cao An's second courtyard.
Na Ru looked at it carefully and had an idea in his mind.
This will be her and Cao An's home in the future, so she needs to put some thought into the decoration.
Cao An accompanied him to see the room, and he had a general impression of each room.
"If you think you need anything, write to me and I'll get someone to buy it."
If he didn't say anything, then according to the old rules, these things should be handled by the bride's family. In ancient times, when marrying a daughter, from small things like toilets to large things like coffins, all of these things were prepared by the bride's family. Moreover, he gave such a large betrothal gift. If his father agreed, he would definitely not let him buy these things.
After coming out of Xiao Hai's second courtyard, it was still early, so they decided to go to the cinema to watch a movie.
Xiao Hai refused, "You two should be in pairs, how can I stand in the middle?"
Cao An had evil intentions, "I'm trying to spur you to find a partner, or else Mom will keep pushing you."
"No, I won't go!" Xiao Hai struggled desperately, but was dragged away and had no choice but to accept his fate.
There weren't many people in the cinema at this time, so they bought five seats side by side.
Xiao Haisheng felt hopeless, being sandwiched between these two scheming couples. He couldn't look left or right, so he could only stare straight ahead and watch the movie intently.
He didn’t know whether others understood the movie or not, but he did, and he almost memorized the lines word for word!
On Qi Siling's left was Xiao Hai, and on her right was Xia Youyou. She held a bag of melon seeds in her hand. She opened the kettle for her to drink water, and then took her little hand to play with it.
On Cao An's right is Xiao Hai, and on his left is Na Ru. He didn't know the name of the movie, and just stared at his fiancée, as if he couldn't see enough of her.
Na Ru pushed his face away, turned back, and took advantage of the dim light to steal a kiss.
Only they understand the tenderness between lovers. Xiao Hai, a single dog, doesn't understand it, nor does he want to understand it. He just wants to dig a hole and bury himself to cheer them up.
Coming out of the cinema, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao An wanted to send Na Ru home, so they rode their bicycles to the dormitory of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together.
Watching Ru go upstairs, Cao An went to Hua University alone to pick up Liu Hui, while Xia Youyou and the other two went straight back to the old house to prepare dinner for tonight. The family hadn't eaten together for a long time, so while everyone was on vacation, they could have an outdoor barbecue.
The three of them first returned to Cao's house, took out the ingredients for the barbecue from the space, and also took out a lot of seafood durian. After everything was ready, they called Zi Bo and others to come and move things.
When Liu Hui learned that she would be meeting Na Ru's parents tomorrow, she rubbed her hands, not knowing what to say. After so much anticipation, Cao An was finally getting married.
Her eyes were red as she patted his shoulder heavily, "Your father would definitely be happy to see you get married!"
Cao An was touched and went forward to hug his mother tightly, "Mom..."
Everything is implied.
Liu Hui pushed him away and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "Mom is happy! This is a big happy event. Wait for me, I'll go upstairs to get something, and then we'll lock the door and go back!"
She hurried to her room and began to rummage through the drawers.
"This is what Youyou gave me. This one is too small, and this one won't work either." She muttered to herself as she picked out jewelry for Naru.
Cao An followed her and leaned against the door, watching her muttering.
"Mom, you don't need to prepare anything, I have everything here." He took out some jewelry that he had prepared long ago from the space. The whole box was filled with old items he collected from the black market.
Liu Hui looked at the things in his box and her eyes lit up. "Okay, I also have a silver bracelet here, which was my dowry from my mother. I'll give it to Naru as well."
"Mom, keep it for yourself, then Ru won't mind." Cao An closed the lid of the box in her hand, took it away, stuffed the one in his hand into hers, and stood up to help her put it in the closet.
"Didn't we buy a yard last time? I'm going to use the second yard as our wedding room, the first yard as our betrothal gift, and 10,100 yuan in cash as a betrothal gift. Do you think it's okay?"
"You are to give the contents of this box to your future daughter-in-law."
When Liu Hui heard him talk about the bride price, she didn't react much, because she had already been a millionaire for a long time!
Xia Youyou gave her all the profits from the restaurant and the guesthouse. Cao An was even more profitable, so she had no objection to how much betrothal gift he gave her.
"Okay, it's up to you to decide!"
"Okay, let's go. It will be dark soon and the road will be difficult to walk on." Cao An took a piece of cloth and wrapped the box in her hand. The two went downstairs together, locked the door, and hurried back to the old house.
The Qi family's old house was particularly lively today. Liu Hui was discussing tomorrow's meeting with the two old men in the main hall, including the betrothal gift that Cao An mentioned.
The two old men were stunned for a while. This is one in a million. This must be the first case in the whole country!
Liu Hui looked at the children playing noisily around the barbecue in the yard, feeling filled with emotion.
All of this was brought about by Xia Youyou. Cao An did have some abilities, but without Xia Youyou, he would definitely not be able to reach his current position.
After all, he felt that he owed Xia Youyou.
When she got married, I didn't have any good things and couldn't give her a good dowry.
Xia Youyou noticed her gaze, turned around to look at her, smiled brightly, took a box of baked cheese durian, and ran into the main room.
"Mom, it's freshly baked. Eat it."
Liu Hui raised her hand and touched her little face, "Mom doesn't want to eat, you eat more." She felt that she owed her and felt guilty.
