Chapter 174 Happy Engagement
Lu Fuchuan grabbed Gu Xing who was rushing forward and said, "Don't worry, the main force hasn't caught up yet."
The second car stopped, and Qu Ying and his wife, as well as the old couple from the Qin family, sat in it.
What’s interesting is that everyone was holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands, and their faces were all filled with the biggest smiles.
Seven cars were parked in a line, and the drivers opened their trunks at the same time.
Take the cigarettes, alcohol, tea and candies tied with red cloth into the car.
There were two pork thighs in the trunk of the finale car, specially tied with a bow with a red ribbon.
Lin Youpeng sat in the passenger seat and emptied the trunk. He drove away from the team and headed to the drying yard in the center of the village.
Two large trucks parked on the side of the road were fully loaded. They started their engines and followed him, quickly leaving the bustling Ruan family compound.
In the main hall of the Ruan family, the four main chairs are reserved for the parents of both sides, with the grandparents sitting on each side.
There were two large tables in the middle. The first one was filled with the dowry from the Ruan family. Ruan Ze and Li Xue took out 180,000 yuan, Ruan Xingyue each took out 100,000 yuan, and grandpa and mother-in-law put in 20,000 yuan, making a total of 300,000 yuan.
In addition, the Wangshanping apartment was also given to Ruan Xingmian.
Ruan Xingyue chose the one in the city.
Then there are the silk quilts and pillows given by friends and relatives, as well as various four-piece sets.
There was no room on the table, so they were piled up in another room.
Leave an empty table for the man's family to place the betrothal gifts and presents.
Ruan Xingyue was wearing a lavender Chanel-style dress and was accompanying Ruan Ze, who was dressed in a suit and tie.
"Dad, stop pulling at your tie," she reminded him in a low voice.
I just finished it and he pulled it crooked again. Is it necessary to be so nervous?
Wenzhu carried a camera and took pictures everywhere.
Some child shouted, "Here comes the bride."
Ruan Xingmian held Li Xue's hand, with a smile on her face and her pregnant belly bulging, she walked towards the crowd with confidence.
The first string of firecrackers rang out, and the spherical drones overhead followed the troops.
It has been here before and is strolling around here in a familiar way.
Ruan Ze and his wife stood at the door of the main house with their two daughters, ready to welcome the groom's relatives at the other end of the red carpet.
Li Xue asked in a low voice: "Did you get the money for Xiao Gu to change his statement?"
Ruan Ze slapped his head and said, "I was so nervous that I just put it under the pillow!"
Li Xue raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry.
Ruan Xingyue lowered her head and took out the bag she was carrying. "When he was here with me, I knew he was unreliable. He would even put his shoes on the wrong way when he was nervous..."
"The groom is here!" The children were noisily crowded in the front, pointing at the drone above their heads and laughing with curiosity on their faces.
Gu Xing walked in front with a red rose in his hand, his back straight and every step carefully taken. Ruan Xingmian couldn't wait to stick his head out to look for him.
Our eyes met, and the perennially frozen lake in front of us sparkled in the winter sun the moment we saw her.
Ruan Xingmian looked at the figure walking towards her, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Gu Xing's steps were not fast, but with an unmistakable confidence, he walked through the crowd, his eyes never leaving her.
He usually had a cold face and frowned, but at this moment, the alienation between his brows faded, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and there seemed to be stars in his eyes, so bright that she dared not look directly at him.
When she got closer, she noticed that the tips of his ears were a little red and the tie on his suit collar was tighter than usual.
Ruan Xingmian subconsciously tugged at his tie first: "Who tied it for you? It's so tight."
"I myself." Gu Xing stared at her mouth and replied.
He wanted to kiss her.
at this point.
After a night of separation.
In public.
She didn't take the flowers and straightened Gu Xing's collar as if no one was around.
One that is tied carefully.
A fiery look.
"Ahem." Ruan Xingyue coughed lightly and reminded her sister, "Take the flowers first and show the elders in to sit down."
"Oh oh oh..." She was so dizzy by the handsome face that she forgot to follow the procedure for a moment.
The second bouquet of carnations was given to Li Xue.
Ruan Ze, grandpa, grandma, and even Ruan Xingyue.
Ji Ling and Xu Yanzi helped the old man to his seat.
Ruan Xingyue teased Gu Xing, "Classmate, call me sister first."
Gu Xing became more and more nervous and stubborn, "Classmate, call your cousin first."
Lu Fuchuan followed Gu Xing carrying the betrothal gift box.
When I heard this, the corners of my mouth curled up with joy.
In the corner where no one paid attention, Ruan Xingyue pinched herself hard, and her smile became even more foolish.
The elders are seated and tea is prepared.
Gu Xing supported Ruan Xingmian and stood in front of the four elders.
The host first sings out the bride's dowry list.
The amount of the dowry mentioned above surprised the villagers.
The father’s pension is 3.68 million.
The Ruan family gave a dowry of 300,000 yuan.
My grandparents added 20,000 yuan to the dowry.
A full four million.
Ruan Ze looked around at the crowd and saw that they were stunned, incredulous, and a little jealous. He pursed his lips in satisfaction and felt relieved.
The reaction to the house quilt was lukewarm. The host paused at the end, "A green parrot."
Ruan Ze glared and asked, "Who filled in the character Doraemon?"
Ruan Xingmian looked at his father's reaction with a smile, pointed at himself, and whispered: "I asked grandpa for it."
Gu Xing praised the parrot for its intelligence and always liked to tease it. If Ruan Xingmian asked for it, his grandfather would definitely give it up with reluctance.
Ruan Ze was unwilling to accept this.
It’s bad enough that the cabbage grew legs and ran away, but they even want to take Doraemon away?
After reading the woman’s gift list, read the man’s gift list.
Everyone held their breath, curious about how much the gift would be, after all, there were three gift boxes on the table.
"The man's betrothal gift is 990,000 yuan."
Li Xue was startled and turned to look at Teacher Qu. Didn’t they agree on 180,000 yuan? Both parties would contribute 180,000 yuan to provide some support for the child’s family.
Compared to the Ruan family's 4 million dowry, Qu Ying felt that 990,000 was too little.
She tilted her head to explain, "I prepared 180,000 yuan, and Lao Qin also wanted to prepare 180,000 yuan. When his grandparents heard about it, they both wanted to add a little. Finally, we discussed it and came up with a good number to last a long time."
If you don't give the couple more money during the engagement, it will be difficult to find an excuse to give them a larger amount of money in the future.
I also heard that a large flat in Zhenshuyuan is worth five million yuan.
Many people who were waiting to see the joke were jealous and thought to themselves that the yellow-haired girl was so lucky.
Who said she married a poor boy from the mountains? This is clearly the behavior of a wealthy family.
Liu Fumei and the old man are both low-key and simple people. When others asked about Gu Xing before, they told them honestly that he was just a child from an ordinary family. These gossipers never let go of making up stories about Li Xue and Mianmian.
What they said was so unpleasant. Xu Yanzi's mother, who was a good-tempered person, argued with them several times, and her eyes were red every time.
The engagement was all revealed. Thinking that many people gossiping would not be able to sleep tonight, the Ruan family felt like they had let out a sigh of relief.
This is human nature. He dislikes poor people and envies rich people.
It feels better to be envied than to be disliked.
After singing the gift list, they began to serve tea and collect the change of tone fee.
Ruan Xingmian first paid her respects to the four elders of the man's family.
Ruan Xingmian held four heavy red envelopes in her arms, and she handed them to Ji Ling next to her. Ji Ling was carrying a large bag specifically for her to put the red envelopes in.
Gu Xing knelt on his knees and offered tea to Ruan Ze and Li Xue.
The two took a sip and handed him a red envelope.
There was silence for a few seconds.
Everyone was waiting for him to speak.
He glanced at Ruan Xingmian, then looked up at Li Xue and the others.
After practicing in the hotel for a whole night, I finally shouted it out.
"Mom, Dad."
"Why."
"Um."
The two agreed at the same time and helped Gu wake up with a smile.
Gu Xing smiled faintly, and his smiling eyes were covered with a thin layer of tears.
Ruan Ze thought of his life experience and suddenly felt sad. His eyes were slightly hot. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Son, happy engagement."
