Chapter 128 Engagement
Chapter 129 Engagement
The Wen family and the Fang family held an engagement ceremony on a sunny day.
Hearing that his niece was getting engaged, Fang Qing's uncle specially spent a lot of money to book a luxurious private room in the newest hotel in the county. He ordered a large table of sumptuous banquets, bought several boxes of the best wine from the county winery, and even asked the hotel to decorate the private room beautifully, just to save face for the two families.
In addition to Wen Ning's parents, the Wen family also had Wen Ning's second aunt and her family. Although Wen Ning's aunt was not well educated, she was kind and friendly. She took Fang Qing's mother and kept praising Fang Qing, which eased the awkwardness of Wen's mother who had remained silent.
After three rounds of drinks, under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, the Wen and Fang families began to exchange tokens of engagement.
No matter how unpleasant the dispute between the two families had been before, now that the two families had agreed to sit down and get engaged, Liu Chunxia felt that she had to give them enough face, so she specially asked her friend to buy an expensive watch at a high price in the provincial capital.
Seeing Fang Qing put the diamond watch on his son's hand, Mother Wen's sullen expression finally eased a little.
Her son's pressure forced her to agree to their engagement, but she didn't expect that the Fang family would disagree.
If the two children were not inseparable, Fang Qing's aunt and uncle would have felt it was a pity to separate the young couple. Both sides persuaded them at the same time, and only then did Fang's parents agree to sit down and discuss the matter again.
After discussing, the Wen and Fang families decided to get engaged first, and then hold a wedding for their children after both children graduated and secured jobs.
After everything was settled, they chose an auspicious day for the engagement ceremony.
Wen's mother originally did not intend to hand over the three golds that she had prepared in advance, but her son and husband felt that it was really boring to play this trick again at this time.
After so many days of persuasion from relatives, Wen's mother's thoughts have softened a little.
Although the Fang family is an ordinary family, their life is getting better and better. Not to mention that the Fang family now has several properties, even Fang Qing's uncle is said to have made a big business outside.
If you look at it this way, the Fang family's conditions are worthy of his son.
If his son needs to make connections in the future, the Fang family is so rich that they can't just sit back and do nothing.
After thinking about it this way, Wen's mother suddenly understood.
After all, to be honest, Fang Qing is a very good kid. But at the engagement banquet today, when she saw Fang Qing's mother Liu Chunxia, Mother Wen felt that her relative still had some opinions about her, and the smile on her face faded a little.
Mother Wen was thinking when her sleeve was suddenly pulled by her husband beside her. Then she noticed that the host was calling her. The engagement banquet had entered the next stage and it was the man's turn to take out the engagement gift.
Mother Wen then took out a box from the bag behind her and handed it over. "This is the three golds I bought specially at the Golden Phoenix Tower. I hope you two can work together in the future, and we as parents will feel relieved."
Seeing Wen Ning putting gold earrings, a gold ring and a gold necklace on her daughter, Liu Chunxia's original reluctance finally eased a little.
The engagement banquet ended in an awkward yet lively atmosphere. Fang Qing and Wen Ning stood at the door to see off the relatives and friends who attended the banquet.
Fang Qing and Wen Ning both dressed formally today for their engagement party.
Wen Ning was wearing a neat little suit, which was the most popular style at the moment, and it made Wen Ning look more and more handsome.
Fang Qing wore a light pink dress today, which was specially picked by her aunt at the department store. The top had a butterfly collar and lantern sleeves, and the pleated skirt had a waist-pinching design that made Fang Qing's lines smoother and more youthful and beautiful.
The two of them standing together are a perfect match, attracting the envy of people around them.
Father Wen was so drunk that he could not stand up. Mother Wen helped him out. Looking at the young couple standing together, he was so excited that his eyes turned dizzy. He patted his son's shoulder and told him, "You two...you must be well..."
Mother Wen didn't say anything, but just told Wen Ning not to come home too late.
Fang's mother knew that the young couple had something to say, so after seeing off the guests, she packed up her things and went home first.
After leaving the hotel, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly along the road holding hands.
It was not long after the Lantern Festival, and there were still lanterns and ice sculptures in the square. The two of them walked here unknowingly, looking at the people coming and going and the red lights on the treetops, and seemed to be back in those green days.
That year, Fang Qing was unable to appreciate the lanterns on the snowy night because he was saving his child. This year, he can finally enjoy them with peace of mind.
The two of them strolled and guessed the lanterns, and it was a rare moment of silence.
A couple not far away watched Fang Qing and Wen Ning walk by, turned around and glanced at the child in their arms, "Is that her?"
A young man showed his face under the light. Although he still looked immature, his three-dimensional face was handsome. He looked at the two people walking hand in hand in the distance. His eyes swept back and forth over the woman twice. After Fang Qing turned around, he finally saw her clearly and nodded, "It's her."
The two people behind him breathed a sigh of relief, lowered their heads and ordered their followers to go and inquire about the news. Then the three of them stood in the square for a while and turned away.
The next morning, Fang Qing was about to go out to collect folk songs when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Fang's mother was steaming buns in the kitchen. She popped her head out and said, "Who's here so early in the morning? Qingqing, go open the door and take a look."
Fang Qing was about to go out, so he opened the door and saw several people standing outside. Leading them was a man and a woman who were dressed simply and elegantly, and it was obvious at first glance that they were expensive.
Before Fang Qing could speak, the woman stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, are you Fang Qing?"
Fang Qing nodded, "Who are you looking for?"
The woman smiled gently, looked Fang Qing up and down, then narrowed her eyes and said, "We're going to find you."
Looking for me?
Fang Qing was confused. He had never seen these people before. Based on their clothing, the bodyguards around them, and the luxury car behind them, he could infer that this family must be a wealthy family. But he had never heard of such prominent relatives in the family. Why did these people come to him?
But since they were looking for her, Fang Qing had no choice but to ask them to go into the house to rest. She made a pot of tea, and after her mother sat down on the sofa, she looked at the two people opposite her.
But the two people on the other side didn't waste time and immediately stated their purpose, "We are here to thank you in person."
When the two men said that they came to thank Fang Qing for saving their child, Fang Qing suddenly realized that these two people were the parents of the little boy!
"It's you two. How are the kids? What brings you here?"
The woman glanced at Fang Qing, and after a long silence, she finally spoke, "We would like to invite you to be my child's tutor."
