Chapter 21 This is probably the first in the entire commune!

The morning light was just breaking, and a few stars were twinkling in the sky.

Xiao Yiyan had already returned from the town with a basket full of engagement items.

"Mom, I'm back."

When Xiao Yiyan opened the door, Lin Lan had already prepared breakfast.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. After dinner, we'll go to the educated youth center."

"Your Aunt Hongxia will bring her sister-in-law and her two little sons with her belongings."

After saying this, he glanced at the back of his head, and was relieved when he saw that there was something sticking out.

Lin Lan was always afraid of wronging the girl, even though her own son was a very good person.

But the Xiao family today is only the Xiao family of Xiangyang Village.

"Okay, Mom!"

"I'll take out all the stuff and pack it up, and then everyone can take one."

Xiao Yiyan put them into the basket one by one neatly.

Not long after the meal, Aunt Hongxia came with three people.

"Sister Lin, shall we set off now?"

Aunt Hongxia couldn't hide her happiness in her voice; she felt happier than when her own son was getting married.

However, these two boys in my family still have to wait two years before discussing marriage. They are still too young now. Otherwise, I had something to do when I came back from the county school yesterday, so I would not be able to catch up with this matter.

She brought them here specifically to see Xiao Yiyan.

Aunt Hongxia really likes Xiao Yuyan. He is a military officer at a young age. Her husband says that is a very high position, but only a few people know what it means exactly.

Alas, I don’t have a daughter, and all my children are boys. Otherwise, they would have to be brought back to my home no matter what.

As soon as the door opened, Aunt Hongxia saw six baskets placed in the yard.

Rice, flour, pork belly, cloth, tobacco, alcohol, candy and cakes.

This made the four of them dumbfounded.

It seems that the Xiao family likes Ye Zhiqing very much!

This was the first time she had seen such a generous gift for an engagement. No, no, it was not just her, it was probably the first time for the entire Xiangyang Village and even the entire commune!

After all, she has never seen other villages!

"Auntie Hongxia, Auntie Zaohua, Qingfeng Qingshan, thank you for your hard work today."

As Xiao Yiyan spoke, he walked up to the few people and gave each of them a red envelope and a handful of candy.

As for the other rewards from Aunt Hongxia, his mother took care of them.

This is just his thank you gift.

"You, you child, we don't want you, we are happy with it!"

Aunt Hongxia reacted and spoke quickly.

"How can I not share in the good fortune?"

"Let's go!"

"The men take the heavy ones, and you and the ladies take the light ones."

Xiao Yiyan would not allow them to refuse, so he stuffed it into their mouths and went to get the white flour first. The heaviest one weighed 20 kilograms.

He knew that Ye Suiwan was from Beijing in the north and might like to eat pasta, so he ate more than the others.

Upon seeing this, the others quickly packed their red envelopes and candies and went forward to take the things, their smiles even deeper than before.

"Sister Lin, your family's Yuyan is really great. You two brothers should learn from them in the future."

"Yes, mother!"

Jiang Qingfeng and Jiang Qingshan said in unison.

Along the way, several people received curious glances from villagers who were busy in the fields.

When someone saw what it was, the look became more complicated.

"That, that is really the boy from the Xiao family. You must say that he is a perfect match for Ye Zhiqing."

"Yes, he is a military officer. Even if Ye Zhiqing is from Beijing, he is worthy of her!"

"Yes, that calligrapher's daughter is going to be sad."

"Tsk tsk, the mother and daughter went to their son's home in the county town, and when they came back the son-in-law they had picked was gone. Do you think they were so angry that they cursed their mother?"

"Look, that basket is full of good stuff, right?"

"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen so many expensive goods."

…

The Xiao family and Ye Suiwan naturally had no idea of ​​the details of the discussion here.

When they arrived at the gate of the educated youth center, Aunt Hongxia knocked on the door.

"Is Ye Zhiqing here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Sui opened the door.

Zhou Jingjing and Miao Yan were also there, they took some time off to accompany Ye Suiwan.

"Ladies, please come in. Everyone, please come in."

Jiang Sui knew that Ye Suiwan really wanted to get married, so his attitude naturally became better.

I just hope that the Xiao family will be nicer to my sister in the future.

Although he inquired about the Xiao family's situation, including everyone in the family, and received good reviews, who would know what was going on behind closed doors?

So he was still worried, especially Ye Heng, who loved this sister the most since childhood.

"Hey, we are here to give an engagement gift."

"Hurry, hurry, come in!"

Aunt Hongxia walked into the yard, and the people behind her followed.

"Let's go to the main room."

The educated youth site had a room specifically used for receptions and meetings, which was also used as a restaurant in winter.

Ye Suiwan also came out and called everyone one by one, nodding and greeting even those he didn't know.

"Ye Zhiqing, if you have any other requests, just ask us."

"Ms. Lin and Yu Yan are both easy to talk to. Look how sincere they are."

"I'm telling you, girl, you're the first one in Xiangyang Village, or even in the commune."

Maybe she didn't know, but she said it.

This is what Aunt Hongxia thought.

"Auntie, I don't have any requests. I'm very satisfied."

"I have also prepared my own dowry, including the betrothal gifts, which I will bring back when the time comes."

Ye Suiwan really didn't expect Xiao Yuyan to prepare such a rich meal. It seemed that there was a lot of white flour. Did he know that she liked to eat pasta? She also liked rice.

Jiang Sui naturally noticed this and was more satisfied with Xiao Yiyan.

There's no other way. I'm the only one from my mother's family here, so I have to look at it carefully.

Zhou Jingjing and Miao Yan were also very shocked, but they did not show it on their faces. In particular, Miao Yan strongly suppressed her excitement and surprise for fear of losing face for Ye Suiwan.

Ye Suiwan agreed to let them stay here because he regarded them as friends.

"Sister Lin, Yu Yan, look at how good Ye Zhiqing is. Oh, your family is so blessed!"

"Ye Zhiqing, you know that Yu Yan is going home to visit his family. The vacation is short, and the ladies have discussed a few good dates. Let's wait for the marriage report to come down, and choose the one that is closest to us."

"For the betrothal gift, Yu Yan has prepared 200 yuan and three turns and one ring. Do you think it's okay?"

When Aunt Hongxia learned this, she was completely dumbfounded!

200 yuan! That's unprecedented in this area. Now even a store that charges 10 or 8 yuan is considered high.

But considering Ye Zhiqing's identity, she felt that it was not much.

There is also the three turns and one sound. I didn't expect that the boy from the Xiao family is also ready.

But she knew that he was in the army, and no matter what happened, he would definitely find the ticket.

Aunt Hongxia felt that the matchmaking she had arranged was the highlight of her life and something she could brag about for the rest of her life.

"OK."

Ye Suiwan didn't want to make a fuss, so she told Xiao Yiyan about this in private and she wouldn't say anything more at this moment.

"Okay, then we'll settle this today. I'm sure we'll know the exact date of the wedding soon."

"Then the ladies will go back first."

"Yu Yan, please help Ye Zhiqing put all these things into her room!"

Aunt Hongxia has to go to work. She must be the most popular woman in the village today.
