"Mom and Dad, this is Qingge's dad, this is Qingge's mom, Qingge's big brother, Qingge's big sister..." Li Hanting introduced them one by one, and then introduced the Li family members, "This is my mom and dad."
"Sister!" Jiang Baozhen enthusiastically shook Zhang Xiulan's hands first. "I've been wanting to see you for a long time, and today I finally get to see you!"
Zhang Xiulan looked at Li Hanting's mother in front of her. She had delicate curls, fair skin, and a face as young as if she were in her thirties. She really couldn't resist calling her sister.
"I, I'm older than you." Zhang Xiulan smiled, "I should be the one to call you sister. It's been a long ride, come inside and sit down!"
"I am older than you." Jiang Baozhen did not call him that casually. When she came again, she asked her father-in-law and knew the "details" of their Li family.
In addition to the adults standing in the yard, there were two children in the house, a little boy and a little girl. Jiang Baozhen bought gifts for them.
It is because I had to prepare these gifts that I came a day late, otherwise I should have come yesterday!
Jiang Baozhen asked her son to unload the things from the car first, especially the food. "It's hot and stuffy in the car, and it will spoil easily if it's been there for a long time!"
"You said you were coming, so why are you bringing things?" Zhang Xiulan motioned her son and Lao Li to go over and help, not to let Han Ting move things alone.
"This is our first visit, so of course we can't come empty-handed." Jiang Baozhen smiled brightly, looking at her future daughter-in-law Qingge, and said, "Auntie originally wanted to buy you three golds, but I also think that jewelry and the like should be something you like. When you go back this time, Auntie will take you to buy them!"
The smile on Li Qingge's face disappeared when he saw what they had moved down. It was too much!
Jiang Baozhen bought Li Hao a small bicycle specially for children to ride.
Jiang Baozhen bought a beautiful little skirt for her daughter. She gave it to Ran Lijuan and said, "Let the little girl try it on later. I wonder if it will fit her well!"
Jiang Baozhen patted Zhang Xiulan's hand and said, "Sister, my biggest regret in this life is that I don't have a daughter. I love little girls!
When Qingge marries me, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter, don't worry!"
Zhang Xiu Lan remembered it clearly. Zhao Hongying seemed to have said the same thing. What she said was just verbal.
What Jiang Baozhen said was actually done.
If it weren't for "caring", how could they prepare all these? Even before the woman asked, they took the initiative to say they wanted to buy the "three golds".
Even though the Li family is well-off, they can't spend money carelessly, right?
Facts have proved that Zhang Xiulan was right about other things. The Li family really cares about Qingge.
But with the last sentence, Zhang Xiu Lan will soon see how wealthy the Li family is.
All the things in the car were moved into the house, and soon there was no place to stand on the ground, so people had to sit in the inner room.
Jiang Baozhen was very outgoing and talked happily with Zhang Xiulan, and of course they were all talking about serious matters.
"Should we have a grand engagement? Or something simple?"
Zhang Xiu Lan said "uh". The key point was that she had not discussed this matter with her daughter yet. It mainly depended on what her daughter thought.
Jiang Baozhen raised her eyes to look at Qingge, "Qingge, what do you think?"
"Keep the engagement simple." An engagement doesn't need to be as grand as a wedding.
Li Qingge said this, and Jiang Baozhen nodded in agreement. "Okay! Let's do whatever Qingge says! And then there's the engagement gift, the betrothal gift, and the three golds. Do you have any ideas, sisters?"
Zhang Xiulan thought for a moment and said, "We don't need a gift money for engagement here. The betrothal gift is 200 yuan, and there is no three golds."
"Two hundred what?" Jiang Baozhen spoke hesitantly, as if she was frightened.
Zhang Xiu Lan thought that the things they brought today were probably worth more than 2,000 yuan. Was 200 yuan too much of a betrothal gift?
"Two hundred yuan."
"Oh," Jiang Baozhen breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were talking about 2 million!"
Li Qingdong almost spit out the water in his mouth. A 2 million yuan betrothal gift? He had never even seen 20,000 yuan in his life!
"..." Ran Lijuan glared at him unhappily. Looking at his useless look, he only knew how to embarrass his sister-in-law!
Li Junshan smiled dotingly at Jiang Baozhen and said, "2 million might be a little difficult." That's not impossible, the couple would need to go back and "sort out" all the businesses under their control.
"No, no, of course not 2 million." Zhang Xiulan waved her hands. My goodness, how come money sounds like a number when it comes out of their mouths?!
Li Qingge curled the corners of his lips.
Li Hanting smiled at her, and his thin lips unconsciously curved up.
"How about this! We'll give the engagement gift and the wedding present, the three golds including a gold bracelet, a gold necklace, and gold earrings. How about that?" Jiang Baozhen looked at Zhang Xiu Lan inquiringly.
"That's too much," Zhang Xiulan said. She had never heard of such a high betrothal gift! It must be close to 300,000 yuan!
Li Qingge acted quite calm. She had earned twelve-digit money in the entertainment industry in her previous life.
Millions of dollars can be earned in minutes, no exaggeration.
She had long lost the concept of money.
In the 1980s, anyone who could directly come up with 300,000 yuan as a betrothal gift must have been from a wealthy family.
It seems that this is not just an ordinary business, it should be a big business.
Li Qingge never asked Li Hanting.
"It's not much. I'll be happy no matter how much it costs to marry my daughter-in-law into my family!" Jiang Baozhen said with a smile.
Zhang Xiulan thought about it and said seriously, "We don't want a penny of the money you gave us. We will give it all to Qingge and his wife to support their daily lives!"
"We have no objection to how you arrange the money." Li Junshan smiled faintly.
Li Jianping could see that the other person treated his daughter sincerely.
At least it's full of sincerity.
I remember when I was getting married to the Xu family, we had to bargain over the betrothal gift! Knowing that their family was not well off, we had already lowered the betrothal gift to the lowest level, but it still didn't work!
This amount of money is nothing in itself, it's just a way to prove myself to my daughter.
If you keep giving in before you get married, what will happen after you get married?
It turned out that he was right.
Now my daughter has finally jumped out of the fire pit and found a good son-in-law.
He is happy for his daughter!
The only thing I am reluctant to let go of is that my daughter will marry in the city and I won’t be able to come back often.
The engagement date is set for the beginning of next month, which is about half a month from today.
The engagement was held in the county where they were, and the wedding was held in the city.
Li Qingge and Li Hanting both had no objection.
After happily discussing the marriage, Zhang Xiu Lan felt strange when she heard Jiang Baozhen's "sister".
"What year are you born?"
Jiang Baozhen smiled, "Sister, do you think I look young?"
"If we stand together, no matter who sees you, you'll look a dozen years younger than me!"
