"Then why don't you go find him?"
"Qingshan is very busy, I don't want to disturb him." The girl's voice was sweet and innocent, and she had an inexplicable trust in her lover.
Aunt Su wanted to say something again, but Uncle Su on the other end coughed and signaled her not to ask anymore. Her daughter might not understand these things yet. It would be terrible if she understood and started sighing and being sentimental every day.
Juanzi is their only daughter and they dote on her the most. Of course, they don’t want her to have a miserable life.
Besides, with his daughter's character, she will not suffer any loss no matter who she marries into.
They thought so, but when they thought that Qingshan, such a good child, was not their son-in-law, they felt very sad.
At this moment, Uncle Su suddenly pointed out the window and said in shock, "Look who's coming?"
The Su family's yard also has a gate, but they had just finished clearing the snow early in the morning, so the gate was not closed. Then four people were seen walking into their Su family's yard.
Aunt Su looked over there intently, slapped her thigh, and her heart almost flew to the sky.
It looks like the Shen family is here to propose marriage!
What followed was as smooth as expected.
The boy and girl were in love with each other and had been childhood sweethearts, and the two families got along very well, so the marriage was settled.
Shen Qingshan is eighteen years old this year, and Su Xiaojuan is one year younger than him and is seventeen this year.
There is no rush to get married, and the Su family even agrees. No matter how good the other party's family is, the girl will be happy to stay at home for a few more years. But the prerequisite is that the marriage must be settled, otherwise there will be no peace of mind.
As for where Shen Qingshan will settle in the future, Su Xiaojuan can just follow him.
Although Aunt Su was a little worried about Shen Qingshan's decision to study at the Special Academy, she also knew that people tend to go to high places and water flows to low places. It was impossible for the Shen family to let Shen Qingshan farm in Kaoshantun. Even if Shen Qingshan did not go to school in the future, it would not be wrong for him to follow Shen Yu.
So there is no difference whether you go to a special college or not.
Moreover, her son-in-law is a future college student, so she can hold her head high when she talks about it.
Unexpectedly, among the several children of the Shen family, Shen Qingshan went to college first. Life is really full of unexpected things.
There was a large cloud floating in the sky, who knew which cloud would bring rain? Besides, the betrothal gift from the Shen family was really generous.
Aunt Su was extremely happy, and Aunt Zhang also made a lot of money as a matchmaker.
The Shen family gave a betrothal gift of 9,999 yuan.
It's only one yuan short of ten thousand, but this number is good, as it symbolizes a long and lasting relationship for the two children.
There was also a set of gold jewelry, two jade bracelets with excellent water content, and woolen Dacron fabrics of various colors, totaling ninety-nine feet.
There were also the wool sweaters, puffer jackets and beautiful women's suede shoes that Shen Mingxi brought back from Beijing.
Of course, a ladies' watch is also indispensable.
These things made Uncle Su, Aunt Su and Aunt Zhang's eyes dizzy, while Su Xiaojuan smiled with her lips pursed aside.
From time to time, he looked at Shen Qingshan, and both of them had smiles in their eyes and eyebrows.
For Su Xiaojuan, it didn't matter whether these things were given to her or not. As long as she could marry Brother Qingshan, she would not ask for anything in her life. Besides, both of them had hands and feet, so there was no matter what property they couldn't earn.
This was the most common thought among young girls of that era, but Aunt Su thought even more.
Her eyes were a little blurry when she saw these things. It was the first time in her life that she had seen so many betrothal gifts.
She also knew that she couldn't estimate the true price of these things. Take the jade bracelet for example, it was the first time she saw it and she didn't know how much it cost. And the ladies' watch was also the first time she saw it, not to mention the set of gold jewelry.
It can be said that these betrothal gifts and betrothal gifts are the highest in Lanbei County, not to mention Kaoshantun and Gutian Commune.
In the North City of this era, that is rare.
This kind of thought is the most precious.
To be honest, Aunt Su had earned a few hundred yuan in the past two years and had more than 3,000 yuan in her passbook. After all, she had a son who was in the transportation business. But this was nearly 10,000 yuan, and it was the first time she had seen it.
Everyone is happy about the marriage proposal.
Shen Yu and Chen Li also happily took Shen Qingshan home.
They planned to hold an engagement banquet when Mr. Shen came to Kaoshantun, so that the relatives and friends in Kaoshantun could share in the good fortune.
It was Mr. Shen who requested such a large betrothal gift, and Shen Yu naturally agreed.
If we follow the current marriage proposal standards of ordinary villagers in Kaoshantun, a betrothal gift of ten to fifty yuan is already very good, and then two pieces of cloth can be given, and some may even add towels and soap.
But he couldn't do that.
Even if the old man didn't ask, Shen Yu would handle Shen Qingshan's marriage proposal beautifully.
Because even if there was no Shen family in Yuncheng, he knew that he should be able to make a great comeback within these five years.
If Jiawen wanted to get engaged at that time, the betrothal gift would definitely not be comparable to the dozens of yuan it offers today.
He couldn't let his two sons feel that he was favoring one over the other.
Besides, he can indeed take it out now. If it was when the family was just divided, he wouldn't even have a single dollar.
Therefore, no matter at which stage, do your best so that your son will not feel that you are an unfair and biased father.
Moreover, Juanzi and the Su family are worth it for him to do so.
Not to mention that the betrothal money and gifts brought by the Shen family's marriage proposal caused a big whirlpool in Kaoshantun, but in the blink of an eye it was the Little New Year.
The New Year celebrations in this era are full of the festive atmosphere, especially in the countryside. There are strict rules for what to do on any day in the twelfth lunar month.
According to custom, after Laba Festival, people basically have to prepare for the Chinese New Year.
…
Children, don’t be greedy, the New Year will come after Laba Festival.
Little kid, don’t cry. We will kill the pig after Laba Festival.
…
Almost everyone should know this nursery rhyme.
On the day of the Little New Year, Shen Junsheng and Shen Hongxiu came to Kaoshantun again.
Although things were not completely resolved, they were particularly eager to stay with Shen Yu's family for a while longer.
Especially the first Spring Festival after knowing each other, it must be spent together.
After two days of rest, it was Shen Qingshan and Su Xiaojuan’s engagement party.
It was held in a lively manner, making countless young girls and boys extremely envious.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is New Year's Eve.
Big red lanterns were hung in the Shen family’s yard.
