The next morning at 9:30, Shen Qingli slept until she woke up naturally. Yesterday, when her father came home from work, the three of them stayed up late chatting. She changed and went to the bathroom at the end of the second floor. Then, she slipped into the space and began to wash and put on makeup.
After all, it was a formal occasion, so light makeup was more appropriate. After half an hour of dressing up, Shen Qingli stood in front of the full-length mirror in the space and nodded with satisfaction.
The girl in the mirror was wearing a light blue long skirt and an off-white windbreaker. The style was both novel and elegant. From the details to the workmanship, everything was exquisite. On her feet were a pair of white leather shoes with heels.
Her long, black hair was tied up in a fluffy, rounded ponytail, revealing a smooth, full forehead. Her features were three-dimensional yet soft, and her face, with its light makeup, was as delicate as a doll.
Her eyebrows are picturesque, her lips are like cherry blossoms, she has a tall figure and excellent temperament, she is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.
Shen Qingli is very beautiful, and she has always known it.
When I walked downstairs, I saw my parents busy in the kitchen. I spoke in a long and coquettish tone: "What are you busy with, Mom and Dad?"
Mother Shen turned around and saw her daughter’s dress and her eyes lit up: “So beautiful, Qingqing.”
Shen Qingli raised the corner of her mouth: "You are beautiful too, mother."
"Your mother said to stew the braised pork ribs first, otherwise we won't be in a rush when the in-laws come for lunch." Father Shen looked at his daughter, feeling a sense of accomplishment, as if his daughter had grown up. It was a pity that his own cabbage was about to be taken away...
Meng Gongbaicai's pig Xiao...
Just as Shen Qingli was about to help her mother, she heard the sound of a car shutting down at the door. "They should be here."
Father Shen's brows jumped: "What family? Driving here? Qingqing, didn't you say an ordinary family?"
Shen Qingli also looked innocent: "I just found out yesterday. The car seems to be his grandfather's."
As the family of three walked out, they saw a car parked right in front of their house. Meng Xiao was carrying something out of the trunk when he turned around and saw Shen Qingli: "Qingqing! Uncle, Auntie."
This shout brought both families back to their senses, and Father Shen hurried to open the iron gate. Father Meng walked forward and shook hands with Father Shen with a smile on his face. Mother Meng also shook the hands of Shen Qingli and Shen's mother: "This is Qingqing, she is so beautiful. It's all thanks to you, mother-in-law, that I have such a lovely daughter!"
"No, no, let's go in first. It's so windy outside. This must be the old man. Please come in quickly."
"Please come in, my dear relatives. Meng Xiao, please come in quickly. You have brought so many things with you."
Meng Xiao wasn't good with words, and this was also the first time a young lady had gotten into a sedan chair. He could only smile awkwardly.
"It's okay, it's just a token of my appreciation. I can't let go of the courtesy."
…
The two families sat down in the house and exchanged pleasantries. Shen Qingli and Meng Xiao sat aside and whispered, "How awkward."
"Me too."
"Don't worry about your mother-in-law Qingqing marrying into our family. Meng Xiao is a cold-faced kid with a warm heart. If Meng Xiao dares to make her angry after Qingqing marries into our family, I, an old man, will be the first to not forgive him."
The old man was getting anxious when he saw that they had been chatting for a long time without getting down to business. Finally, he found a way to join in the conversation.
They were all intelligent people, so Father and Mother Meng quickly followed their father's lead. "Father and mother, I'm sure Qingqing has already told you that Meng Xiao has been granted two weeks of wedding leave. They were delayed on the road for a few days. If you two have no objections, we can choose a date for the wedding. What do you think? Are there any requirements regarding the gift or wedding gift? We'll do our best to make it happen," Mother Meng said sincerely.
"Oh no! Look at what you said, mother-in-law. Since the two children have no objection, we as adults will of course support it. As for the betrothal gift, we don't have any requirements. No matter how much you give, we won't ask for it after they get married. The dowry and everything must be given to the young couple." Mother Shen's words were also sincere. They only had one daughter, and everything was hers. Who else could they give it to if not her?
"Then let's choose a good gift. How about 6,600? Plus three rounds and a ring. When I got married, my parents gave me a courtyard house, and they can live in it in the future. What do you think, in-laws and mother-in-law?"
Shen Qingli was stunned when he heard this. Siheyuan! What kind of fairy mother-in-law is this!
Shen's parents hadn't expected the betrothal gift to be so high. These days, the typical wedding gift is one or two hundred yuan plus three turns and a ring. They thought the betrothal gift would be no more than five or six hundred yuan.
But they were not people who had never seen the world. Besides, they were very happy that the other party valued their daughter.
"Okay! No problem. We'll also take 6,600 for the dowry, and take it all back to the young couple. We also have two houses in the city. Although they're not courtyard houses, they're in good locations. We'll give them to Qingqing as a dowry as well."
Now everyone in the Meng family was stunned. Why... why was this relative so domineering?
"Old man, I told you I'm late." A voice came from outside the door. Everyone stood up, and Shen's father greeted them: "Please sit down, Qingqing's grandparents are here, I'll go and meet them."
Can you still sit then?
When Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen entered the house, everyone in the Meng family was surprised to see Grandpa Shen. They really hadn't investigated Shen Qingli's family before coming...
"Mr. Shen?" "Brother Shen?" Father Meng and Grandpa Meng spoke at the same time.
Everyone exchanged greetings again.
"Qingqing is your granddaughter, Brother Shen?"
"Haha, I didn't expect that the girl's target would be your grandson. Chief Meng." Grandpa Shen laughed.
Meng Xiao and Shen Qingli helped Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen to sit down, and then everyone sat down again.
