When Luo Qiao and Wang Xiaoxin heard what their father-in-law said, they didn't care about being tired anymore and quickly packed up their meals and prepared to go back to the compound to clean up.
Now they didn't dare to leave Yanyan and Yueyue alone, so Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao each drove a car, and all the Gu family members, except the old man and Aunt Tang, went out.
After arriving at the compound, many neighbors came to greet him: "Yichen, you're back. These are your twin girls, they look so good."
When Lu Yichen heard people praising his daughter, he was no longer as aloof as before. He nodded and said, "It's my daughter. Auntie is going out."
The auntie smiled and teased the two children: "Yes, I went out for a while, and I saw you guys coming back as soon as I came out."
Gu Qianru came over to get something and said, "Big sister, Yiting's boyfriend is coming to propose tomorrow, so we are here to help clean up the house."
When the aunt heard this, she was no longer in a hurry to leave and asked about the situation.
Gu Qianru also gave a brief account of the situation. In fact, she just wanted to use this elder sister to spread the news, so as to avoid the Kong family coming to the house tomorrow and causing all kinds of speculation in the compound.
On the way, Luo Qiao drove out for a while. Because the Lu family's father and daughter spent the New Year at the Gu family's place, not much was prepared here. When he came back, there were various ingredients in the car, enough to entertain the guests tomorrow.
There were not only vegetables, meat, eggs, and fish, but also various seasonings, various dried fruits, candied fruits, fruits, peanuts, melon seeds, sugars, several cans of different teas, and some cakes.
Lu Xinyi saw the performance of his two daughters-in-law today. To be honest, he was a little moved. Both of them were sincere to Yiting, their sister-in-law.
After everything was cleaned up, they took a short rest and did not eat here, but went back to Gu's house. Aunt Tang had called them earlier and the family had prepared dinner for them.
A few of them were really tired and didn't want to move anymore, so they just took a car back to Gu's house.
At the Kong family, Fu Lanhua looked at what her son had prepared: "Isn't it just a betrothal gift? Is it necessary to prepare so much?"
Kong Cunlai stood aside and said, "Just say less. Besides not helping to sort things out, you are also talking nonsense here."
The eldest sister-in-law Bai Liping helped to pack everything, the second sister-in-law helped to tie the red silk on it, and the two brothers reminded her of the details to pay attention to tomorrow.
The next day, Lu Yichen, Lu Yixuan, and Wang Xiaoxin all asked for leave from their work units, but still drove two cars. Mr. Gu also came to take charge today, so everyone drove back to the compound early.
The two families were already very familiar with each other, so there was no need to play tricks. They just settled the matter while chatting and joking. They gave a betrothal gift of six hundred and sixty-six, and also gave a pair of jade bracelets, two pieces of cloth, and six gifts.
They agreed to go to the man's house on the eighth day of the first lunar month to go through the formalities, have a meal together with both families, and then set the wedding date.
Luo Qiao cooked today's meal herself, which was highly praised by the Kong family. The matter was successfully concluded. All that was left was to find someone with good fortune to make bedding for Lu Yiting.
Four thick quilts were made with satin backs in red, yellow, pink and silver. Two thin quilts were made with satin backs in silver with gold thread. Two mattresses were also made.
When the people who came to help saw the things, they all praised them, saying they were all good stuff. The cotton was as white as snow and better than the top-grade cotton sold in department stores. Luo Qiao said that it was sent from the place of production. The cotton was good and the price was also very good.
Everyone nodded in agreement, believing that you get what you pay for.
There is strength in numbers, and we hired a lot of people, and the bedding was prepared in one day. Of course, they didn't ask for help in vain, and they took a lot of things with them when they left.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Qiao and his wife, sister-in-law Wang Xiaoxin, and aunt Gu Qianru accompanied Lu Yiting to go to the wedding house for what is commonly known as "house viewing". In fact, they went to see the preparations for the wedding house.
