"What's your relationship like with your cousin Yan Xiaonan?"
Hua Zhenguo picked up his teacup, took a slow sip of tea, and asked casually.
When Yan Aiguo heard his future father-in-law ask about his relationship with Yan Xiaonan, he couldn't help but smile. He seemed to have forgotten something, but he knew in his heart that it was Nannan who had saved him.
"Uncle, we have a very, very good relationship. Nan Nan is my savior." Yan Aiguo said proudly.
Hua Zhenguo nodded. He had thoroughly learned about Yan Xiaonan. She was a person with superpowers who not only used her powers to lift herself and her family out of poverty, but also helped her brothers establish their own businesses and brought about earth-shattering changes to her hometown, Mushroom Village.
It also saved the lives of many important people, especially the Ye family and Yan Aiguo's family, who are still using their superpowers to contribute to the prosperity of their motherland.
What's most remarkable is that after being kidnapped, she not only survived but also gave birth to twins and rescued Yan Aiguo, who was struggling on the brink of death. She's truly amazing.
If Hua Meili could marry Yan Aiguo and join the Yan family's camp, it would be beneficial for both herself and Meili's future. Although she didn't expect a bright future, at least she could live out the rest of her life peacefully.
Not to mention that Yan Aiguo was originally an excellent child. Meili would definitely not suffer from being with such a loyal and resilient child.
Of course, there is another very important reason: Meili looks down on everyone except Yan Aiguo, otherwise she wouldn't be still unmarried in her forties.
"Aiguo, I agree to let my daughter marry you, but this wedding was arranged in a very rushed manner. I hope my daughter can get married with dignity." This was the point that Hua Zhenguo was most dissatisfied with.
"Dad, how could I not be married off with dignity? This afternoon we're delivering my dowry, and tomorrow morning they'll pick me up to go to the club. We'll get married at noon."
Hua Meili was anxious. She had been waiting for her lover for over twenty years, or over forty years if you included their childhood sweetheart period.
Hua Zhenguo laughed heartily: "See? Everyone says girls are outgoing, and it's true. Fine, fine, I'll grant your wish. Aiguo, bring up the betrothal gifts."
Yan Aiguo was a little embarrassed. He presented the four kinds of pastries and said, "Uncle, besides the house my work unit allocated to me and my monthly salary, this is all I have."
Hua Zhenguo laughed heartily again and readily accepted the snacks. All he wanted was an attitude; he didn't need any real betrothal gifts. Speaking of wealth, his daughter was truly good at making money; just look at the dowry she had prepared.
When Yan Daqiang and Xue Ying saw Hua Zhenguo accept the pastries, they knew the marriage was settled, and quickly took out two large red envelopes from their pockets and handed them to Hua Meili:
"Meili, this is a gift for you when we meet. Please accept it."
Hua Meili accepted the gift somewhat shyly. The red envelope was quite thick, but it also indicated that her parents-in-law liked her, otherwise they wouldn't have given her two large red envelopes.
Hua Meili was overjoyed as she put the red envelope into her dowry. At this time tomorrow, she would be a bride, a bride who could finally marry the lover she had longed for.
The group discussed the next steps of the trip. After reaching an agreement, seeing that it was getting late, Yan Aiguo stood up with great shrewdness. He was leaving to prepare for the wedding procession that afternoon. Don't underestimate the wedding procession; his beloved was going to marry him in a grand and spectacular way.
Sun Mingtian and Yan Aidang, along with their men, stayed up all night to prepare everything needed for tomorrow's wedding, maintaining their usual high-profile style.
Xue Honggen and his men also stayed up all night, busy writing and sending out invitations. Finally, between breakfast and lunch, all the invitations were sent out.
Everyone was shocked when they received Yan Aiguo's wedding invitation. This guy had said he was going to be single for the rest of his life, and they had never heard of him having a girlfriend.
Especially Yan Aiguo's close friends, several of whom had been following Yan Aiguo's example and preparing to remain unmarried for life, are now in a difficult position as this guy has suddenly become a married man.
So, a few close friends secretly prepared some activities to give Yan Aiguo a warning look on his wedding night.
After lunch, Yan Aiguo, along with several people, arrived at Hua Meili's house in several vans decorated with red ribbons and big red flowers.
Hua Zhenguo also had the prepared firecrackers set off. Many people in the courtyard didn't know why Huamei Lijia was setting off firecrackers today, and they all came out to watch out of curiosity.
"Oh dear, what's going on? Is today the day Meili delivers her dowry? Who's the groom? We haven't heard anything about it," an old woman exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, yes, but I think I just saw Yan Daqiang and Xue Ying from the Yan family. Could it be that Ai Dang got married? No, no, Ai Dang is already married and has two children," another old lady said.
"Stop talking nonsense. Look, who's that man getting off the bus? It looks like... holy crap, it's Aiguo, Yan Daqiang's eldest son, Yan Aiguo." A man shouted.
"Ah, it's Yan Aiguo. His son finally got married. It turns out he married Meili. Who would have thought?" The others chimed in.
Regardless of what others said, Yan Aiguo and his brothers began moving the dowry. There were so many dowry chests; a total of ten large red chests with the character for "double happiness" pasted on them were carried out by them.
These boxes contained Huameili's clothing for all four seasons and some valuables, as well as other items such as quilts, pots and pans, lamps and decorations.
"Wow, Meili's dowry is amazing! So many things, how much did it cost?"
“Meili is over forty years old, it’s not excessive for her to have prepared all this over the years.”
"Yes, yes, but I've seen the dowry of someone named Nan Nan, and that was truly impressive. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a ten-mile-long red bridal procession."
"Yes, yes, if my son can marry that Nan Nan, my family's ancestral graves will definitely be emitting smoke."
"Haha, if your family can marry that Nan Nan, it's not that your ancestors' graves are smoking, it's that your throat is smoking."
Hua Zhenguo was initially displeased as he watched his daughter send out box after box of dowry items. He wondered how his daughter could be so extravagant, preparing such a large dowry.
But when he heard people around him discussing Nan Nan's dowry, his unhappiness immediately vanished. He had also been invited to witness the ceremony when Yan Xiao Nan delivered her dowry.
He was deeply shocked. How much money would it take to prepare such a lavish dowry, especially that eight-courtyard house? How much is it worth now?
