Wu An didn't get involved.
The main problem is that my luck value has been low these past two days. But strangely enough, even so, my total luck value has exceeded 500 points and is increasing every day.
He wanted to get an explanation from the system.
The system is stupid.
He could only guess that the system's luck value wasn't necessarily only for beachcombing and fishing. As long as he was busy with other things, although it didn't consume his daily luck value, it was still considered as labor in the system's judgment.
It really proves the saying: the harder you work, the luckier you get.
If he just coasts along and waits to die, the system might even take back his luck points and lower his cap.
It is worth mentioning.
As he broke through 500 points, the system secretly leveled him up while he was sleeping.
He only saw the notification that "the system upgrade is complete".
Then.
And that was the end of it.
He tried it and found that it was no different from before, so he simply stopped worrying about it.
When I arrived at the dock, I was surprised to find that fishing boats had already set sail.
Most of them are still untouched.
Why did he come to the dock?
Because he's bored.
The house was quite lively today, since we have important business to attend to the next day.
Even those who have nothing to do are busy going in and out of the house, while he, on the other hand, has nothing to do and just stands there like a mascot.
When someone comes to help, you should always say a few words to them.
Unfortunately, he has some relatives whose memories are already hazy. It's okay if someone reminds him, but if his father, brother, and sister-in-law are all busy, he has to deal with them all by himself.
Fortunately, he was no longer the Wu An of the past, so he didn't make any fools of himself.
Looking for Aqing.
Ah Qing didn't have time to pay attention to him; she was busy running around getting things.
Even Sister Duan was busy. At this time, no one would cause trouble or gossip. When they met, everyone smiled and said auspicious words.
After a unanimous decision by the family (without taking his opinion), we decided to hold a proper celebration. It's been a long time since there's been a major event in the family, so this is a good opportunity to have some fun.
All the expenses for the engagement were borne by the older brother and sister-in-law. In Wu Ping's words, this money was originally earned by Wu An, so it would be inappropriate not to take it. Rather than saving it, it was better to spend it now.
Mei Wu and Mei Wen arrived early to help, nothing much to say. Old Jiang and the others also came to help, praising Wu Yingwei for being so lucky.
Wu Yingwei, smoking a cigarette, responded with a smile.
Just two months ago, everyone who saw him offered words of comfort and gossip.
There's no way they'd flatter him anymore, saying he raised his sons well; the eldest is a teacher, steady and family-oriented, while the second is a troublemaker who's actually made a name for himself.
He bought a boat, a house in town, and in such a short time, he even quietly got his wife sorted out.
Some villagers with many children are quite envious, saying that once Wu An gets married, Wu Yingwei will have no more burdens and will have to devote himself wholeheartedly to the well-being of the village.
Wu Yingwei was quite pleased with this kind of flattery.
night.
The main family members didn't leave; Mei Wu, Mei Wen, and A Qing all stayed as well. In addition, they also invited the village elders, Elder Shen, and others.
Three tables of food and drink were prepared.
The eating and drinking continued until late into the night.
Fortunately, Wu An left in the middle of the night and went back to talk to Gu Anran. Gu Anran was also quite busy, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with the two of them.
...
The next morning.
Luck remains low, with the maximum luck value reaching 505 points.
Wu An didn't care; there was only one thing to do today.
got engaged!
Wu An dressed neatly and went out. Everyone who saw him praised him as a handsome young man, showering him with compliments. Wu An wished he could wear a smiling mask.
While he was talking with his relatives, Wu Ping came to call him, saying that his friend had arrived.
Wu An went outside.
BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes, Jaguars, and Old Mike's SUV—several cars stopped at the entrance, and everyone looked on curiously, knowing that these cars weren't cheap.
"Is he Ah An's friend?"
"Ah An is really doing well, having friends who drive such luxury cars."
What do you think?
"Holy crap, these guys look like big bosses. How does Ah An have friends like that?"
When Gao Qiangqi and President Qin saw Wu An approaching, they all rolled down their car windows to greet him. Since the entrance wasn't a parking area, they didn't get out of their cars.
Wu An called A Qing over and asked her to take him to the old house, where there was plenty of space to park without blocking the way.
Park the car properly.
Gao Qiangqi and the others came over and entered the courtyard together.
We chatted for a while.
"Ah An, you go about your business."
"Brother Qiang, okay, you guys sit down first..."
The time is about right.
Go to Gu's house.
It was truly a scene of firecrackers and drums.
When he arrived at the Gu family's house, he saw gold jewelry, gifts, dried fruit and meat used in the ceremony. Wu An only had a vague understanding of the customs, and they seemed quite complicated.
Nowadays, these customs are becoming increasingly simplified and are not being properly passed down. Only older people know about them, while most young people are unaware of them.
In the future, many families will find it too troublesome to hold banquets at home and will instead go to hotels.
It was just a meal, nothing special.
Unlike now, when it's bustling and lively, even though Wu An and Gu Anran are just mascots, they still feel happy, after all, this is a big day in their lives.
The Gu family was very lively, with more guests than the Wu family, which was normal. Although Gu Anran's family only consisted of the old lady and herself, the Gu family was a common surname.
The guests from the Gu family were all shocked by the amount of money and gold jewelry given by the Wu family; it was truly a large sum, already reaching the upper limit.
Wu An didn't actually intend to be so high-profile. Wu Yingwei wasn't just doing it for face, but also to make Gu Anran look good and prevent the Gu family from going too far.
Wu An understood; it seemed his father had learned some of the details privately.
In the past, it was fine.
But from now on, Gu Anran will be the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, so how can the Gu family be allowed to bully her at will?
After having dinner at Gu's house.
Return to the Wu family.
Although it was supposed to be dinner, the meal started around 4 p.m.
Wu An and Gu Anran toasted everyone in turn.
actually.
Logically speaking, the dinner at the Wu family's house was unnecessary. According to their custom, the engagement is the responsibility of the woman's family, and the marriage is the responsibility of the man's family. Therefore, after the dinner, everyone from Gu Anran's side, including Gu Anran herself, went home.
It's not appropriate to stay overnight at the man's house before getting married.
But nowadays, it's not so particular. Gu Anran stays there occasionally, and no one says anything when they see her.
After a night of revelry, the guests left at 10 p.m., but many villagers and family members stayed behind to help clean up. The food and drinks had been outsourced, so there was a lot of money left over, which each family shared to take home.
The whole village was talking about Wu An's engagement. The event was comparable to a wedding, and naturally, it cost a lot. Everyone praised the Wu family for hosting such a grand banquet, saying it was the best in the village.
Five hundred per table.
It's not that we can't raise the standards further; this is already the highest standard we can offer for a contracted banquet.
Some people praised it.
Some people were envious.
When Village Chief Shen returned home, he ran into Shen Nan, who had also just returned. He said, "Don't just focus on making money all day. You should find a girlfriend. Look at that Wu family boy, he got engaged today, and I met the girl..."
Shen Nan found it irritating.
Do I need you to tell me what to do?
I've seen how beautiful Gu Anran is!
I don't have a girlfriend, does that mean I don't want to?
