After Zhong Ziyan came back from the northwest, his family has been busy and they haven't had time to get together.
It was a rare occasion for the whole family to be together, so Yun Run and his wife invited them to dinner, which was also a belated meeting of the in-laws. Grandma Yun also came.
Grandma Yun originally wanted to invite Yun Nianzhou and his wife as well, but Yun Runtong thought about how they parted on bad terms last time, so she didn't agree.
Gu Qinghuan and Yun Jiuzhou, the two characters, were rarely seen shy.
In fact, the two have been married for almost two years, and this is the first time that their parents have officially met.
This meal was very heart-warming. The family members were old friends and very familiar with each other. They were all well-educated families and were well matched, so there was no barrier between them.
After dinner, while drinking tea and chatting, Liang Zhiqiu took out two boxes.
"Huanhuan is our noble lady. We met when we were little, and now we have finally achieved our goal.
As parents, we are naturally happy for our children. Here is a little betrothal gift that my husband and I prepared for Huan Huan. I hope you donโt mind it.โ Liang Zhiqiu opened the box and handed it to Zhong Zijun.
Xiaojiu is the nickname for Yun Jiuzhou. There is already a child named Zhou Zhou in the family, and Liang Zhiqiu doesn't want to confuse the two children.
In traditional Chinese concepts, children's marriage is still the responsibility of their parents. In addition, girls are reserved and reserved, so she pushed the betrothal gift to Zhong Zijun first.
Zhong Zijun did not refuse. It was natural for men and women to get married. Besides, she had also prepared a dowry for her daughter.
She bent down and counted the things in the house. There were two properties, one was a three-courtyard house in the old city, and the other was a Western-style building in their area. If she lived here, it would be very close to her parents' home in the future. It must be said that Liang Zhiqiu was thoughtful.
When she saw that there was still a property certificate for another building, her expression froze for a moment. This was too much of a feat.
This building is the most luxurious building in Beijing. I didn't expect that the property right belongs to her family. How generous!
With this building as a guarantee, the two children can just lie down and do nothing, and they will never starve to death. The considerable rent every month can allow them to live a comfortable life.
In addition to the house and the building, there was also money and a bankbook with a total of 10,000 yuan.
Inside the small box was a box of jewellery, all of which were carefully selected by Liang Zhiqiu and suitable for young people. There were jade, gemstones, and gold, everything you could think of for you to choose from.
From this box of things, you can tell that he put a lot of thought into her. He didn't know what Gu Qinghuan liked, so he prepared everything and was very considerate.
Even the worldly-wise Zhong Zijun was shocked by the lavish betrothal gift.
You know, this is just the betrothal gift.
The Yun family will definitely prepare daily necessities for the young couple.
In this era, the betrothal gift is given to the girl's family. The girl's parents can choose to take their daughter away or keep her, and no one will say anything.
Regardless, there is nothing to say about ๋๋ 's attitude, and Zhong Zijun is very satisfied.
There was one thing she did not know. She wondered if the dowry she had prepared for her child was not good enough, since she had given her father so many good things.
No, I need to add some more.
Liang Zhiqiu saw Zhong Zijun's thoughts and thought she was unhappy, so he immediately added: "Zijun, feel free to ask for anything. As long as my family has money, we can give it to you. We will be happy to marry Huanhuan as our daughter-in-law, no matter what it costs."
The future mother-in-law's words pleased Gu Qinghuan, not because of the betrothal gift in front of her, but because of her attitude.
In fact, even if they didn't give a betrothal gift, she and Yun Jiuzhou were already married, and the matter was settled.
But they were willing to complete the betrothal gift process and gave her affirmation in front of their relatives, which moved Gu Qinghuan.
"That's enough! I just think that you gave too much. As a mother, I can't even prepare enough for the dowry." Zhong Zijun replied quickly.
Sincerity was exchanged for sincerity, there was no excuses, no conspiracy or subterfuge, and both families wanted their two children to be well.
Liang Zhiqiu laughed when he heard this.
"You don't have to worry about anything. Just leave your daughter to our Xiaojiu. When Huanhuan marries into our family, Runtong and I will treat her as our own daughter and will never let her suffer any injustice."
Gu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and recalled that when surfing the Internet in later generations, all the "mother-in-laws" would say this before getting married, and immediately change their behavior after marriage.
Fortunately, there was no Internet in that era, otherwise Liang Zhiqiu would probably have been exposed online.
Gu Qinghuan just listened to her words, although it was undeniable that there was some sincerity in her words, but Gu Qinghuan had never thought of relying on anyone in her life, including her husband Yun Jiuzhou.
You are ultimately alone in this life, and as you live you will discover that the only person you can completely trust and rely on is yourself.
Love is just the icing on the cake.
Zhong Zijun has been hurt in this marriage, so people don't believe her, but her attitude does make people feel comfortable.
Unexpectedly, Liang Zhiqiu's words made Gu Qinghuan and the others stunned.
"In addition to paying the betrothal gift, we would like to discuss with you about holding the wedding ceremony tomorrow.
The two children fell in love with each other and became a family without any ceremony. It's a pity to think about it, so we want to make up for it for them."
Gu Qinghuan looked at Yun Jiuzhou consciously for his reaction, and he gave her a knowing smile.
Yun Runtong and his wife had already consulted him, and of course he agreed.
Many times when he attended other people's weddings, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw envy in Gu Qinghuan's eyes. Yun Jiuzhou had always wondered when he would be able to give Gu Qinghuan the best wedding, and now this opportunity had come.
Gu Qinghuan never thought that she could still go through the ceremony after two years of marriage. She didn't need to be accused of being hypocritical or reminded. If someone loves you, he will understand. She just needs to do it.
At this moment, the doting from Yun Jiuzhou and the Yun couple made her feel a little overwhelmed. Although she was smiling, tears welled up in her eyes.
Zhong Zijun burst into tears instantly.
Fortunately, although she set the worst example as a mother and had a failed and unhappy marriage, her daughter did not follow her old path.
The other members of the Zhong family also looked at them with relief.
Gu Qinghuan feels that all his efforts along the way are worth it.
Yun Jiuzhou quietly held her hand.
Of course he wasn't. Gu Qinghuan suddenly appeared like a beam of light, illuminating his entire being. Because of her, he felt that all his wanderings in the first half of his life were worth it.
They are each other's salvation and are destined to be together for the rest of their lives.
