He Peng's words about discussing marriage lifted the spirits of everyone present.
The two young men were so excited that they were speechless.
Yang Ermao: "Uncle He, don't worry, I will treat Xiaoxin well in this life. I will never let her, you and other elders down!"
"Life is still long, just take care of the present first!" He Peng turned his head away and said indifferently.
Yang Ermao looked educated, "You're right!"
As for the betrothal gifts, in addition to the three turns and one bell, and seventy-two legs that ordinary people have, Yang Dajun and Zhou Qiao also gave out another three thousand yuan as start-up capital for the couple's future marriage.
The Yang family is generous, and the He family is not stingy either.
At that time, in addition to the 3,000 yuan given by the Yang family, they will take out another 2,000 yuan of their own money, which is 5,000 yuan for the two children to get married.
Five thousand yuan was a huge sum of money in the 1970s.
Although buying a house was not popular at that time, if you dared to trade privately and were not afraid of being cheated, you could buy a house with a yard in the city for one or two thousand yuan.
After talking about marriage, it was almost time for lunch.
He Xin's mother, Chen Lihong, stood up and said to everyone, "I'm going to the kitchen to cook. Please wait a moment. The food will be ready soon!"
Zhou Qiao also quickly stood up and said, "I'll go help too!"
Although in a sense, Zhou Qiao is a guest.
But at this moment, she didn't want He Xin's family to treat her as a guest. She wanted to be one of their own.
"Mom, I want to go too. Don't you all want to eat the hand-rolled noodles I make? I'll show you my cooking skills." He Xin said.
He Xin boasted about his hand-rolled noodles in front of the He family for several years.
The He family only heard his voice but never saw his appearance.
Now He Xin took the initiative to say that he wanted to make hand-rolled noodles, and everyone was so happy.
"Then I'll go to the kitchen to help He Xin." Li Jinfeng also spoke with a smile.
Several female comrades rushed to the kitchen, and the male comrades also began to look forward to the finished product.
I have to admit that cooking with four people is fast. In just one hour, all the meals are ready.
Chicken, duck, fish and meat are all served on the table.
Then there is He Xin’s hand-rolled noodles.
Looking at the noodles of uniform thickness in the big bowl, the He family members all showed surprise.
You have to know that when He Xin was in Shanghai, he didn't even wash the dishes.
Now she can even cook noodles so well. She must have been trained in the Northwest.
"My daughter is really good. After going out, she even learned how to cook the most difficult noodles." Chen Lihong praised.
He Xin looked embarrassed. "It's all thanks to Sister Jinfeng! Grandpa, Grandma, Mom and Dad, and Uncle Yang... Hurry up and eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold!"
After He Xin finished speaking, everyone started to take their seats.
A bowl of noodles was the first to be finished.
The children were very considerate and each had a small bowl of noodles.
Yuanyuan was even more exaggerated, "These noodles are so delicious, I love them so much!"
He Xin: "If you like it, eat more! I've prepared a lot. Maybe after the New Year, I'll make it for you when I return to Jiangbei."
"After the New Year? Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year with us, aunt?" Yuanyuan asked.
He Xin wanted to, but she also had to take care of her parents.
Besides, she has been away for five years. Her parents haven't seen her for so many years, and they must miss her spending the New Year at home.
"Yuanyuan, your Aunt Xiaoxin has to spend the New Year in Shanghai. She hasn't been back from the northwest for many years, and her family misses her very much."
