When Jiang Dahai saw Wang Daqing, he looked him up and down, and then he felt relieved.
Fortunately, he looks much more plump than the previous brother-in-law.
When Wang Daqing saw Jiang Dahai, he stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
"This must be my elder brother, hello, I often hear Cuihua mention you."
Jiang Cuihua thought that she rarely mentioned her elder brother and sister-in-law in front of Wang Daqing.
Jiang Dahai said with a smile: "Hurry up and sit down."
Wang Daqing sat on the sofa and Jiang Cuihua poured him some water.
Jiang Dahai asked, "Do you smoke?"
"No, no, I don't smoke, bro."
Jiang Dahai was surprised. It would be ok if he didn't smoke, but smoking is indeed not a good habit.
Jiang Dahai said: "Then drink some water."
Wang Daqing was older after all, so apart from being excited, he was not nervous at all.
Jiang Dahai saw that he had a good aura and thought that he looked good for the time being.
Everyone was there, but Jiang Dahai didn't know how to start the conversation.
Jiang Dahai asked, "You are the only one in your family?"
Wang Daqing said truthfully: "I am the only one at home. My mother and I are both in good health."
Jiang Dahai nodded. Beating around the bush was not his style. He wanted to ask some random questions, but he felt it was troublesome.
Now that I have brought the person back, there doesn’t seem to be any point in asking so many questions, so I’ll just get straight to the point.
Jiang Dahai said, "My sister has told me about the two of you. You are not children anymore. Since you have decided to be together, as a man, we should be nicer to our women. Don't you think so?"
Wang Daqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, I know everything.
My family's conditions in the city are pretty poor, so I will treat Cuihua well."
Seeing that he was relatively steady, the two of them just talked about those things.
Jiang Dahai asked, "What are you going to do about the wedding?"
Jiang Cuihua heard this and said, "Let's not do it. Maybe the two families can sit down and have a meal together."
She had been married once and knew that those formalities were actually meaningless.
Wang Daqing said, "We have to hold it. Our family hasn't held a wedding for forty years since I was born. I'm not afraid of being embarrassed to talk about it."
Jiang Dahai thought he was a down-to-earth man who never boasted or flattered him in front of him. The only thing about him was that he was old, but everyone has flaws, so it was enough as long as his sister liked him.
Jiang Dahai said: "I don't care what you do, but you can't let my sister suffer any injustice.
After you have discussed it with your parents, tell my sister and ask her to let me know."
"Okay, big brother."
The four of them sat together and chatted about some family matters. When it was almost four o'clock, Jiang Cuihua helped Feng Xiujuan to cook.
Soon, eight dishes were placed on the table.
Jiang Cuihua saw it all and was moved.
My sister-in-law still feels sorry for her.
Jiang Dahai asked: "Have a couple of drinks?"
Wang Daqing said: "Brother, I can't drink much, and I have to ride my bike back home, can I have a drink with you?
Next time you have time, come to my house and we'll have a good drink."
Jiang Dahai wanted to see how he handled alcohol, but he thought that it would be troublesome if he really got drunk and came to his house.
The two of them actually had a drink.
After the meal, Wang Daqing gave each of the two children a red envelope when he left.
Jiang Dahai asked: "What are you doing?"
Wang Daqing smiled and said, “It’s okay, brother, this is the first time I’ve met two children.
Well, I'll leave first. I'll let Cuihua give you a message after we discuss it."
Even though the matter was settled, Jiang Dahai knew that the gifts Wang Daqing brought were all in even numbers, so he gave one back to Wang Daqing to show that they agreed.
Wang Daqing didn't hesitate and took the things quickly. This was the custom and the rule.
Jiang Dahai and his sister sent Wang Daqing to the gate.
Wang Daqing said, "Brother, Cuihua, you two can go back."
Jiang Cuihua said, "Ride slowly."
"I see. It's very cold outside. Let's go back quickly."
Jiang Dahai said, "Come to my house when you have time."
"I know, bro."
After Wang Daqing rode away on his bike, the brother and sister went home.
Jiang Dahai said: "Sister, you need to have an idea of what to do in the future."
"Brother, I know, thank you and sister-in-law for taking care of me."
Jiang Dahai smiled and said something from the heart: "It's not easy for you either."
Jiang Cuihua pursed her lips and smiled. She was already satisfied.
When the brother and sister came back, they saw that Wang Daqing had put twenty yuan in each of the two children's red envelopes.
Jiang Dahai felt that he had given too much.
However, they did not mention the issue of bride price.
The two of them had been talking about their affair for about a month and it ended like this.
After Wang Daqing went back and told his parents about this, the old couple were also happy.
The only thing they were not satisfied with was that Jiang Cuihua was a widow.
Fortunately, she has no children.
Wang Daqing used the time after get off work in the evening to clean the house himself. Wang's mother bought the best frontier cotton and started making new bedding for the two of them.
Wang Daqing also discussed with his mother that Jiang Cuihua must not show any displeasure to her after she comes home.
Also, a betrothal gift of 300 yuan must be given. Since he has decided to marry her and live a good life with her, he must treat her well and follow all the steps of marrying a wife.
The old couple knew what was going on. What was there for them to be picky about? Their son was already 40 years old, and would be considered an old man in the village.
The Queen Mother said, "Don't worry, I promise to treat him as my own daughter."
It was another afternoon in early November when Wang Daqing came to propose marriage with some gifts in hand.
Jiang Cuihua is here too.
On the day they arrived, heavy snow fell on the two of them.
As soon as he entered the door, Wang Daqing said with a smile: "Brother, sister-in-law, I am here to propose marriage."
Jiang Dahai knew he was coming, but he didn't expect that he was coming to propose marriage, and to make it so grand.
After entering and putting down his things, Wang Daqing took out three hundred yuan wrapped in red paper from his bag.
When the red paper was opened, there were three brand new stacks of Great Unity inside.
This scene left Jiang Dahai and Feng Xiujuan dumbfounded.
Jiang Dahai said: "You are..."
Wang Daqing smiled gently and said, "This is the betrothal money I give to Cuihua. She is the one I want to marry, so both the betrothal money and the wedding banquet are indispensable. I have chosen a good day today and brought it to you."
Jiang Dahai suddenly thought that perhaps there was a reason why his sister fell in love with Wang Daqing.
For this reason alone, he is still a man.
Jiang Dahai asked, "Why didn't Cuihua tell us?"
Jiang Cuihua also looked confused.
"He didn't tell me, and I just found out about it."
Wang Daqing smiled and said, "This is what I should do. Please accept it, brother and sister-in-law."
Jiang Dahai heard it and said, "Okay, I'll take it."
Feng Xiujuan on the side became anxious. They didn’t do anything for Cuihua, so how could they accept the money?
Feng Xiujuan glared at Jiang Dahai, but Jiang Dahai ignored her and said, "I'll take the money and give it all to Cuihua as a dowry.
Cuihua, you can keep the money yourself."
Jiang Dahai put the wallet away and pushed it in front of Jiang Cuihua.
