According to Danhua, his father-in-law's family was not easy to bribe. He also had a rough idea of the Xu family's situation. Like the Lu family, they were both large families.
Mr. Xu was also a powerful figure, a hero, and he loved his granddaughter, Xu Danhua, very much. He felt that the Xu family wouldn't be so hasty as to agree to an immediate engagement. They probably didn't want their child to marry so far away, so he was prepared for a long-term battle.
"Okay," Zhang Hewu nodded. "As long as you know what's going on, go get the necessary things ready. You don't have to worry about the things at home."
Zhang Hechen nodded and went to prepare some local specialties.
What should I prepare? Well, I can get some of the wicker products my sister is making. Thinking of him, he went to the factory. I have to discuss this with Ma Wan. That guy used to have a good relationship with Wu Zi, so he is also very familiar with him.
In addition to wicker products, you can also prepare local specialties such as cured meat. It's a pity that the oranges in Lugou Village are out of season. If there were still some, I would have brought a basket with me.
There are no oranges, so he has to think about what else is available in the mountains and go to the villagers' homes to collect some. In short, the supply must be rich enough!
Zhang Hechen had gone to prepare local specialties, but hadn't called Xu Danhua yet. When Xu Danhua came out, she heard that they had gone to the factory, and she felt helpless. Forget it, she couldn't just sit there and watch them go up, could she?
There was no choice but to stay with the aunts in the village.
The aunts in the village like Xu Danhua very much. They talk to her all the time and don't want to ignore her.
They all knew that this girl was Chenzi's girlfriend, so they had to treat her well!
Xu Danhua didn't feel left out at all, though she was often overwhelmed by the warmth of the crowd. But she truly loved the people of Lugou Village. They were warm and simple. They were simple-minded, genuinely kind, and genuinely sincere. She felt at ease with them.
Zhang Hechen came back in the afternoon with a lot of things in his hands, including sausages, bacon, dried crabs, dried clams, dried ferns, dried white fish, and a bunch of other miscellaneous things, filling two wicker baskets.
Xu Danhua was shocked: "Why are you collecting so many things? Who are you sending them to?"
"For my parents!" Zhang Hechen put down the two baskets. "There are two sets of rattan products in the car. I won't be taking them back. These were bought by my fellow villagers. When they heard I wanted to buy them, they happily ran back to get them."
The people of Lugou Village now have the opportunity to make money by growing fruit trees, so they are better off than other villages. However, people in other villages don't have many opportunities to make money. Selling local specialties to repay their debts is a good thing for them, so they have to rush to give!
There aren't many such opportunities on weekdays. The only time they can earn money is when they deliver the Lunar New Year pig, or when someone has a baby and they buy eggs.
So as long as there is an opportunity to make money, they will rush to grab it.
Xu Danhua was stunned: "That doesn't need to be so much, right?"
"How can this be too much? There's more. I've already made arrangements with some fellow villagers to bring it over. I also bought some wrapping paper, so I have to wrap it up!" Zhang Hechen said cheerfully, "This was Ma Wan's suggestion to him. He said that since he was going to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, he should wrap it nicely, just like buying something in the city. Don't embarrass yourself!
He thought it made sense, so he went to the town and buried the wrapping paper.
