When Qibao returned home, he saw his grandfather sitting on a chair in the main hall, flipping through a yellowed calendar in his hands.
"Grandpa, what are you looking at?" Qibao asked.
The old man smiled and said, "I have to find a suitable time to propose marriage for your eldest brother. I think half a month from now would be an auspicious day."
Qibao said, "Oh, what does Auntie say about the betrothal gift?"
The old man said, "We haven't discussed it yet. Let your grandmother arrange it in the next few days. It can't be too shabby."
Wang came in and said, "Later, my eldest son's wife and I will go to town to buy some new things. We can't go without jewelry or head ornaments!"
Qibao said, "Grandma, I plan to make a diamond headpiece myself. Sister Dier will definitely like it!"
Wang asked, "Qibao, are you talking about that glowing diamond you showed me last time?"
Qibao nodded.
Wang pulled Qibao and said, "Bao'er, that thing is very precious. You dug it out all by yourself after working hard all night. Grandma has money, so you can buy a few more sets when the time comes. It won't be too bad!"
Qibao smiled and said, "Grandma, Sister Die'er is your eldest granddaughter-in-law and my future sister-in-law. We're all family, so it's a good thing! Besides, I have a lot of these diamonds, which I originally wanted to make into jewelry."
Wang thought for a moment and said, "Well, alright then! Since it's such a kind gesture from you, I'll go tell your aunt later so she'll remember your kindness!"
Qibao said helplessly, "Grandma, there's no need to mention it. Auntie knows everything! It's just family, so we can remember it or not! There's still some cloth left from the previous reward. I'll pick out two pieces and use them as a betrothal gift!"
Wang refused to accept it no matter what and said, "Qibao, that cloth is a precious treasure, a gift from the Emperor! Didn't we agree that it's all yours?"
Qibao smiled and whispered in Wang's ear, "Grandma, I have a lot of clothes, but you haven't seen them. They were all given to me by my master. They are not made of materials that us mortals can compare to!"
Wang was surprised and asked, "Really? Why haven't I seen you wear it before?"
Qibao said: "Those clothes are not ordinary, they are all precious clothes, how can they be easily worn out!"
Wang thought for a moment and said, "That's right! But what kind of material are the clothes that immortals wear? I've never seen it before!"
Qibao said, "I'll show it to Grandma when I get a chance. It's invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire!"
Wang's mouth opened wide in surprise, then she quickly waved her hands and said, "There's such a treasure? Forget it, Grandma won't look at it anymore. My old eyes can't tarnish the immortal family's precious clothes!"
Qibao said, "Grandma, what are you talking about! It's just that the styles of those clothes are not suitable for you, otherwise I would get you a few pieces to wear!" Anyway, there are endless things in her space, and no matter how much she takes, it can be automatically replenished.
Wang said, "Qibao, how can your grandmother wear fairy clothes? No, these are given to you by your master. You must cherish them and never give them to anyone else. Not even your grandmother, me, or your mother. Do you understand?"
Qibao smiled and agreed, "I know, I know, I'm the only one wearing these clothes!"
Wang said, "That's good!"
The old man tilted his head and looked at the old man and the young boy who were leaning against each other, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Old woman, what are you and Qibao whispering about? Can't I listen?"
Wang said, "Go away! You're asking for my opinion on everything. Why are you telling me anything? I won't tell you." Then she put her hands on her hips and went to discuss the betrothal gift with Zhang.
The old man raged, "This old woman's temper is getting worse and worse! She can't even speak. I was just asking casually!"
Qibao smiled and put his arm around Grandpa's arm and said, "Grandpa, why are you still arguing with Grandma? You know Grandma's personality, she's just teasing you!"
The old man sighed, "Anyway, I have a higher status in this family than your grandmother. I have to ask your grandmother before making any decision. On paper, I make the decision, but in reality, I still have to listen to your grandmother!"
Qibao smiled and said, "This shows that Grandpa, you are a good husband who respects his wife. You are a good role model for me and my brothers. Look at how prosperous our family is now. Isn't this all thanks to Grandpa and Grandma? Besides, Grandma cares about you too. I saw her making new clothes for you under the oil lamp last night!"
The old man grinned when he heard Qibao say that, but then he suppressed his cheerful smile and said, "What's this old woman doing wearing clothes at night? Isn't she afraid of damaging her eyesight? I have to give her a good talk."
Qibao smiled. It was quite amusing to listen to her grandpa and grandma bickering. They cared about each other in their hearts, but they always said things on purpose to annoy each other. It was really cute!
Qibao smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'll go for a walk with you!"
The old man nodded and said, "Okay, go talk to your grandpa!"
The grandfather and grandson went out arm in arm, looking extremely intimate.
Wang and Zhang discussed it for a long time and decided that it would be better to go to the town. So after thinking about it, they said goodbye to the other people in the family and rushed to the town.
In the afternoon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home, looking depressed.
Qibao asked, "Grandma, what's wrong? Why did you all come back empty-handed?"
Wang said, "I went to the cloth shop and took a look. Although there are many good materials, they are not too outstanding for the Wen family. After all, the girl is a daughter of an official and the eldest daughter-in-law. It is already quite unfair for her to marry into our peasant family. The betrothal gift cannot be sloppy."
Zhang said, "Yes! So my mother and I plan to go to the city in a couple of days to have a look. There are more styles and choices in the city."
