Because Ling Ran was the one marrying in, the engagement banquet was held at the Ling family. Ling Ran gave his parents some money and asked them to hire a craftsman and some helpers to do the work, and they only had to entertain the guests.
Dong Yunrong agreed. Every time the Zhou family did something, they hired craftsmen to do the work. Just entertaining guests was enough to make them exhausted.
She and Ling Quan were too busy to handle it all, and with that group of relatives coming to her house, it was good enough that she didn't have to order her around, so don't expect them to help.
Zhou's mother was preparing an engagement gift, and she was a little worried, "Think about it! Ling Ran is a man, we can't give him gold and silver jewelry, right?"
Zhou Xiang laughed when he heard this, "It's fine if you can prepare it. It would be best to prepare a pair of gold earrings for him, hahahaha."
Mother Zhou angrily sneered at her, "You're just relying on Ling Ran's affection for you. Otherwise, why would a grown man like him compromise and marry you?"
Zhou Xiang stopped laughing and said, "Okay! Then you prepare other gifts, and I'll go to the county town to buy rings and jewelry."
Mother Zhou waved her hand and said, "Go quickly."
Zhou Xiang put on the pink backpack and walked out the door as soon as he encountered Dog Skin Plaster.
When Ling Ran heard that the little girl went to the county town to buy jewelry for him, the expression on his face was extremely awkward.
Zhou Xiang laughed out loud, "Okay, I'll go see if there are any other jewelry that come in pairs besides rings. I'll buy them all in pairs, okay?"
Ling Ran immediately followed, "I'll go with you. If you don't try the ring on, how can you know if it fits?"
"It has a loose button."
"I have to try it, my fingers are thick." He stretched out his big palm.
Zhou Xiang was helpless, "Let's go!"
After driving to the county town and parking the car, the two went directly to the jewelry store. There were only two jewelry stores in the entire county town.
One is a department store and the other is a brand chain store.
Ling Ran directly pulled the little girl into the chain store. He had seen the jewelry in the department store and it was a bit tacky.
The brand chain store has a wide variety of jewelry with new styles, and the price is only 98 yuan per gram.
Zhou Xiang leaned over the counter to look at the styles of rings, and the salesperson came over to ask what he needed.
Zhou Xiang raised his head and said, "I want wedding rings."
The salesperson knew immediately that the customer really wanted to buy a ring, and smiled sincerely, "Over here, this counter is full of couples' rings."
Ling Ran followed the little girl to look at the styles of the rings.
Then, the two of them pointed to the one in the middle of the counter. The ring face was a simple heart shape.
The salesperson smiled and said, "You two really are in sync!" As she spoke, she bent down, took out the couple's rings, and placed them on the counter.
Zhou Xiang picked up the women's ring to look at it, and Ling Ran picked up the men's ring to try it out, but it was a little small.
The salesperson was going to take the man's ring and open the buckle a little for him.
Ling Ran immediately stepped back, saying that women were not allowed to touch him. Zhou Xiang gave him a coquettish look, took the ring from his hand, and gently pulled it open.
"Try again."
This time it fits perfectly. Ling Ran looked at the ring on his hand and was very satisfied.
Zhou Xiang tried on the women's ring, which was a bit big, so she took it off and pushed it tighter. After putting it on, she stretched out her hand to Ling Ran, and Ling Ran also stretched out his hand. The two hands, one big and one small, one black and one white, wore exactly the same ring, which was very pleasing to the eye. Both of them were very satisfied.
Zhou wanted to ask, "Is this pair okay?"
Ling Ran nodded, "That's right."
Zhou wanted to ask the salesperson to wrap up the rings. "Please pack them up. Do you have other jewelry that comes in pairs?"
Looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him, the salesperson asked tentatively, "I have a pair of love locks, but they are made of silver. Is that okay?"
Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Let me see it."
The salesperson turned and left, and after a while he brought back a pair of silver pendants, one was a small heart-shaped lock pendant only the size of a thumbnail, and the other was a key-shaped pendant.
The salesperson picked up the two pendants, carefully inserted the key into the keyhole, and turned it, and the small lock was opened.
Zhou Xiang took the concentric lock and looked at it. The workmanship was pretty good. This design was quite novel nowadays.
She looked up and asked the big man beside her, "Is it okay?"
Ling Ran, "This pendant is quite nice. Let's go and choose the necklace. Do you want the gold one?"
Zhou Xiang shook her head. "It's a bit unbalanced." She looked at the salesperson and said, "Can you weave bracelets?"
The salesperson nodded, "Sure."
Zhou wanted to put the pendant back on the counter, "Then weave these two pendants into the bracelet."
"OK."
The salesperson led the two to the counter where the braided ropes were hung. Zhou Xiang chose red and Ling Ran chose brown.
The knitting salesperson tried to measure Ling Ran's wrist, but was rejected again, so Zhou Xiang had to measure him instead.
Although Zhou Xiang scolded him, she felt sweet inside.
While waiting, the two looked at other accessories and finally decided to buy two gold necklaces and gold pendants of similar styles.
The salesperson patiently put together men's and women's necklaces and pendants for them and compared them for a long time before making a choice.
With three pairs of jewelry, Zhou Xiang felt that it was enough. "Ling Ran, can you buy a gold bracelet and a gold ring for your parents and mine?"
"Okay!" Ling Ran was very happy. He really had never thought about buying things for his parents. He always gave them money directly.
This time it was easier to choose the gold bracelet and gold ring. I chose a 25-gram phoenix-tail pattern buckle bracelet, and a 12-gram square ring with the word "Fu" and "Cai" on it.
After packing the items, Zhou Xiang paid and the two left the gold shop.
The salesperson couldn't stop smiling. Today was a big order. He had never sold so many gold jewelry in one day. If he could sell a bracelet every few days, it would be considered good business.
Zhou wanted to ask Ling Ran if he needed to buy anything else.
Ling Ran pointed at his body and said, "Clothes, don't we need to wear new clothes?"
"Then let's go!"
The one street of individual businesses has become three streets after several years of development.
The two of them strolled slowly, going back and forth along three streets, but they didn't find any clothes they liked.
Ling Ran held the little girl's hand and said, "When we get married, we must go out and buy clothes from famous brands. These clothes are really not worth my attention."
"Then let's go back!"
Ling Ran refused, "Even if you don't like it, you still have to buy a set!"
Finally, Ling Ran bought a dark suit, Zhou Xiang bought a rose-red long-sleeved stand-collar dress, and then they bought men's and women's leather shoes at the shoe store before going home.
Ling Ran shamelessly followed Zhou Xiang back to Zhou's house for dinner.
After dinner, Zhou's mother received a gold bracelet from her daughter. Zhou's father looked at it with envy and said, "Think about it, your father doesn't have any jewelry either."
Ling Ran quickly took out a small box and handed it to Zhou's father. Zhou's father smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He took it and opened it. Inside was a square ring with the word "Fu" (blessing) on it.
He took out the ring and put it on the ring finger of his left hand. He raised his hand and asked his daughter, "Think about it, am I wearing it right?"
Seeing his little girl nod, Zhou's father smiled even more happily. He stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
Zhou Xiang deliberately asked, "Dad, aren't you taking a nap?"
Father Zhou shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy." Then he walked out.
