This was also discussed by Li Jiakang and the other two.
Of course, it was mainly Li Xu who proposed it, so he was naturally responsible for the food.
Hearing this, Du Ming and Yang Li waved their hands, "That won't do. Who doesn't need food these days? If you had said that before, we wouldn't have said anything, but it definitely won't do now."
In the past, when food was not scarce, some men would invite the woman to dinner when they got engaged, and would also invite some elders as witnesses.
But since the disaster began, this item has been cancelled.
Now, all that is needed is for the two families to sit together and set a wedding date, and the matter will be settled.
There is no other way. Everyone doesn’t have enough food to eat, so how can we have extra to ask others for food?
After hearing this, Li Jiakang quickly said, "Don't worry, we can still afford this amount of food."
Sun Xiu echoed from the side, "That's right, just listen to us."
Du Ming still refused, "It's fine for the two families to have a meal together, but we have to bring our own food."
Then no matter how Li Jiakang and the others persuaded him, Du Ming refused to agree.
In the end, Li Jiakang had no choice but to agree to Du Ming's request.
But in his heart he was thinking that he would not accept the food when the time comes.
Seeing that everything had been discussed, the two families were very happy and talked and laughed.
Of course, Li Xu and the others are not included...
When they finally left, Du Ming and the other two saw Li Jiakang and the others out the door.
After returning to the room, Yang Li looked at Du Ming and asked, "Do you think Li Xu and his family really have so much food?"
Du Ming glanced at him and said, "That's probably the case. Judging from their expressions, they do seem quite sincere, and their words about being able to afford that little food don't sound fake."
Yang Li was immediately excited. "Where do you think they got so much food? We knew they weren't that short of food, but we didn't expect they were so well-off."
Du Ming frowned. "Don't tell anyone about this. We just need to know about this. Besides, have you forgotten the fish Li Xu sent you last time?"
Yang Li glanced at him and said unhappily, "I'm not stupid. By the way, are you saying that his family's food is also obtained from the black market?"
"Who knows? Maybe they have a way. Anyway, as long as my daughter doesn't have to live a hard life after marrying into a wealthy family, that's all that matters."
Yang Li said with pride, "What do you think of the person I chose for my daughter?"
Du Ming said speechlessly, "You have good eyesight, okay? It's getting late, go to bed early."
After saying that, Du Ming turned over and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Yang Li snorted and fell asleep.
After Li Xu and the other two arrived home.
Others gathered around and asked what happened.
Li Xu smiled and said, "We'll get engaged the day after tomorrow night. Their family will come over for dinner, and we'll all get to know each other."
"Xiao Xu, you're about to get married. Is it time to start a career next?"
Li Xu glanced at Li Mei, who was teasing him, and said with a wicked smile, "Sister, it doesn't matter whether you have established a career or not. I just want to know how long it will take for you to find me a brother-in-law."
Li Mei blushed when she heard this, "Pah, you know I'm your sister, and you still dare to talk like that? I think you're itching for trouble."
After saying that, he walked up and patted Li Xu a few times.
Li Xu naturally dodged repeatedly and pretended to beg for mercy.
Everyone was so happy.
Li Chen was watching the fun and yelled, "Sister, when will you find me a brother-in-law?"
After hearing this, Li Mei stopped chasing Li Xu.
He walked right up to Li Chen, slapped him hard a few times, and scolded him, "Your second brother is about to get engaged, so you teased me a few times, forget about it. How old are you? If I can't hit your second brother, can I hit you?"
The general idea nowadays is that no matter how old you are, you are considered an adult after getting engaged or married.
In addition, Li Xu and Li Mei have a good relationship, so there is nothing wrong with teasing them.
But Li Chen is just a 10-year-old kid, so it’s not okay for him to say that.
Not to mention now, even if a child of this age in the future dared to tease his sister like this, he would most likely be beaten.
Li Chen cried out in pain after being hit several times, and kept shouting, "Sister, I was wrong, please forgive me, sister."
Seeing this, Li Mei stopped and scolded, "I'll let you go this time, but if you dare to say something like that again, I'll show you how I'll punish you."
Li Chen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, sister, I understand, I won't dare to do it again."
Everyone laughed again.
Li Chen also looked aggrieved.
But no one cared.
There's no way around it. Li Chen is the one who gets beaten the most at home.
Not only Li Mei fought, but Li Ping and Li Xu also fought.
To put it in one sentence, don't hit the lazy, don't hit the greedy, just hit those who are blind.
Li Chen is usually a little naughty, and no one pays much attention to it.
But later the family found that Li Chen seemed to be oblivious to the situation...
Always say inappropriate things at inappropriate times.
For example, in the past, when Li Ping jokingly expressed his regret for saying that he would wait until he got married after becoming an official employee, everyone could see that Li Ping was really regretful and they were still trying to persuade him.
But Li Chen actually said at that time, "Brother, I see you are quite happy."
And then, nothing happened...
Even Sun Xiu and the others did not stop them.
There is no way, Li Chen has done similar things more than once or twice.
Even Li Jiakang and Sun Xiu specifically authorized everyone to help with "education".
In short, this child is so tactless at such a young age. How much trouble will he suffer when he grows up? You brothers and sisters, please help him...
Everyone naturally felt obliged to do so.
Later, after being "educated" by his family, he was able to improve a lot of this bad habit.
But sometimes I still make mistakes...
Sun Xiu also said from the side, "You deserve to be beaten. After all this time, you still don't have any tact. Your eldest sister is going to college, and she will definitely find a good family in the future."
Li Mei blushed immediately, "Mom~~".
This scene is rare, and even Hu Guilan started to make fun of it.
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Li Ping asked, "Dad, did you meet Uncle Du tonight? How was it?"
Nowadays, before a man and a woman get engaged, they usually ask someone to find out about the other person's family situation.
Sun Xiu and Yang Li are old colleagues, and everyone naturally knows their character. Although they cannot say that they know everything about their family situation, at least they know most of it, so this process was skipped.
But no matter how much you hear, how can you understand as clearly as if you meet in person?
Li Jiakang smiled and said, "Your Uncle Du is a good man, otherwise he wouldn't be able to raise a child like Du Hong."
Then he repeated what had just happened.
After listening to this, Li Ping sighed and said, "Xiao Xu has indeed found a good wife."
