Chapter 158: Going to Offer a Proposal (Page 1/2)
At half past eight, Huo Li arrived at his son's home on time.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the two loads of betrothal gifts placed in the yard. He frowned, turned to look at Huo Qingyan who was standing beside him, and asked, "Qingyan, how are we going to transport these betrothal gifts to the Ling family?"
"Grandpa, don't worry! This problem is so easy to solve. We just need to find a big Liberation truck to transport it! It can even hold a few more loads of betrothal gifts."
Huo Li nodded in agreement and said with emotion, "Thinking back then, when your father got married, he carried all the betrothal gifts on his shoulders and back to the Xiao family.
Times have changed. You, a jerk, even thought of asking your boss to borrow a truck to help transport the betrothal gifts. Now that everything is ready, let's get going!"
However, Huo Qingyan waved his hand and said softly, "Grandpa, please be patient, you may need to wait a little longer.
The Jiefang truck I borrowed might be a little late." He glanced at his watch, seeming a little anxious.
Huo Li looked at the exquisite watch on Huo Qingyan's wrist and asked curiously, "Is this watch a gift from your girlfriend?"
Huo Qingyan shook his head and replied calmly, "No, I bought it myself.
Those people in the Ling family have never been very kind to Ling Fei, so why would they buy me a watch?"
Huo Li asked in confusion: "Where did you get so many watch tickets? You can actually buy two at once..."
Huo Qingyan scratched his head and explained with a smile: "Grandpa, one of the watch tickets was given to me by the higher-ups.
As for the other one, I borrowed it from my good friend Lin Jing, since he's not in a rush to use it anyway."
Huo Li sighed slightly in disappointment. He had originally thought that the woman was so generous that after receiving the watch bought by his grandson, they would also buy a watch for their grandson.
Huo Qingyan knew very well that asking the Ling family to pay for him to buy a watch would be much more difficult than climbing to the sky.
After all, his future mother-in-law didn't seem to like Ling Fei very much, so naturally she wouldn't have much good impression of him.
Ling Yue never dreamed that after she had just gotten engaged, her sister couldn't wait to get engaged too!
What surprised her even more was that she heard that it was her grandfather who personally found a pilot as her sister's fiancé.
Not only that, it was said that the betrothal gift offered by the Huo family was much more generous than that offered by the Chen family, which really made Ling Yue feel a little embarrassed.
After hurriedly finishing breakfast, Ling Yue put the bowl and chopsticks on the table, stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going to work."
Ye Lan replied, "Okay, remember to come back early at noon. Today is your sister's engagement party, and your grandparents will be coming."
"I know." Ling Yue agreed casually and went out, but in fact he was worried in his heart.
She secretly thought that she must go back and take a look, to find out whether the Huo family really valued her sister so much, and by the way, to see this legendary brother-in-law and see if he was as tall and handsome as they said.
After instructing Ling Yue, Ye Lan said to Ling Feng and Ling Xi, "You two should come back early at noon."
Ling Feng and Ling Xi nodded, "Got it, Mom."

Ling Feng's wife, Liu Lei, walked up to her mother-in-law with her son in her arms and asked, "Mom, are we going to have three or four tables today?"
"Three tables are enough. There are only four people from the Huo family."
"Okay, I understand. I'll just go borrow two more tables later."
"Let your dad borrow the table, and just take care of Ruirui. My two sisters-in-law will come over to help with the kitchen work."
Liu Lei felt that she was very lucky to marry into the Ling family. After giving birth to a son, at least she didn't have to do any housework and just had to take good care of her son.
But she didn't expect that her elder sister-in-law got engaged when she was old enough. How could her younger sister-in-law get engaged so soon when she was only seventeen years old?
Moreover, the partner she found is even better than the one her elder sister-in-law found. It seems that she needs to build a good relationship with her younger sister-in-law as well. Maybe she can even help their Ruirui in the future.
Liu Lei didn't know what she was thinking about. She carried her son back to the room, took out a piece of corduroy cloth from the cage, and went to find Ling Fei.
"Fei Fei, I've been saving this piece of fabric for a long time and never wanted to make clothes with it. I'll give it to you to make a coat!"
Ling Fei was a little confused about this attentive sister-in-law. She didn't dare to accept the fabric from her sister-in-law casually. If she accepted the things right away
Within a day, her mother, her older brother, and her older sister would definitely come to ask her what happened, and would try to get her to return the fabric, so it would be better not to accept it.
"Sister-in-law, this isn't good. If Mom knew I took your fabric, she would definitely scold me again. You'd better take it back!"
"Aren't you engaged? I'm giving you an engagement gift."
Ling Fei smiled slightly and asked, "Does my sister have one too? If she knew that my sister-in-law gave me this corduroy fabric, she would definitely say that I was ignorant.
Sister-in-law, the Huo family will buy me two new sets of clothes. You should take this piece of cloth back and make Ruirui a coat and a pair of overalls in the future."
Liu Lei was disappointed and thought that as a child raised in the Ye family, she only had the Ye family in her heart. She tried to please her but she didn't appreciate it. No wonder her parents-in-law treated her so indifferently.
Her husband doesn't like this little sister very much either. It seems that it is impossible to get Ling Fei to be nicer to her son. It is better to rely on her parents-in-law and her husband than on her.
It was ten ten. Ling Fei had just changed into a clean coat and was about to put on some lipstick in front of the mirror to enhance her complexion when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Little sister, come out quickly, someone from the Huo family is here to propose marriage!" Liu Lei's excited voice came from outside the door.
Ling Fei was delighted and hurried to the door to open it. Coming towards her were Huo Qingyan and a young soldier. They each carried a basket full of gifts on their shoulders and walked slowly into the house.
Following closely behind them were Huo Qingyan's parents and grandfather.
Ling Fei had a bright smile on her face as she walked forward, politely greeting everyone in turn, then quickly turned around and trotted into the kitchen to make tea for the guests.
The Huo family had just sat down and taken the teacups, but at this moment, Ling Fei's grandparents and her uncle's family also arrived at the door.
The two families exchanged greetings and sat down together to drink tea and chat. After about an hour, around 11:50, Ling Fei's grandparents, as well as uncles and aunts, arrived one after another.
