Song Tanglan thought about it and offered many suggestions that he thought were useful.
Xu Qi memorized them all in his mind, thinking that he would let his brothers protect him when he returned.
However, the two of them didn't spend much time alone together. As soon as they finished talking about the construction of the house, Xiaohu came over and called them to eat.
Upon hearing this, the two men stood up, patted their clothes, and followed Xiaohu forward.
After they finished lunch, people from the team came one after another to see the proposal.
The aunts who came to visit would bring some things from home as a token of their appreciation. When they saw the yard piled high with betrothal gifts, they all couldn't help but smack their lips in amazement. Some even started discussing it in a low voice. The envy in many people's eyes made Song Tangcheng very proud.
Fortunately, they did not stay at Xiao Cheng's house all the time. After watching the movie, they drank a cup of tea and left.
Otherwise they would have to spend a lot of effort to entertain the villagers.
After Aunt Li sent her last good sister away, she continued to discuss dates with Aunt Xu, and finally only selected three.
One is before the autumn harvest, one is after the autumn harvest, and the other is after next spring planting.
Song Tangcheng looked at these three days and thought they were all pretty good. Thinking of his old father at home, he decided to go all out and chose the day after the autumn harvest.
The days after the autumn harvest are just right, neither hot nor cold, and you won’t be sweating all over like before the harvest.
There are still 4 months left until then, which is just enough time for the family to prepare the dowry.
Song Tanglan had no objection to this. It was a good choice to choose in the middle. If it was chosen next year, someone would definitely disagree.
In order to avoid rushing or being slow, it is better to choose after the autumn harvest!
"Then it must be after the autumn harvest. You two should get along well during this period. It would be best if you can have the baby right after you get married, so that Sister Xu can be happy."
"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry, it depends on what the couple wants."
Although Aunt Xu was very happy in her heart, she did not forget to change the subject. If she gave birth to a cute granddaughter like Song Tanglan, she would definitely be very happy, but if she looked like her son, then forget it.
She already had three of these, so there was no need for another copy.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but complain in her heart, wondering how powerful the dead old man's genes must be, otherwise how could her three children all look like him.
Song Tanglan was originally listening with great interest, but when she was suddenly urged to continue, her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
She really never thought that they would start urging her to have a baby before they even got married.
However, with Aunt Xu changing the subject, they soon stopped talking about the topic.
The marriage proposal ended perfectly under the witness of everyone.
In the afternoon, Song Tanglan took a shower and lay on the bed, looking at the things in the room, she felt a headache. It was because after everyone left, her second sister asked her second brother-in-law to move all the things into her room.
She insisted that this was her betrothal gift and that it would be included in her marriage, so in order to avoid confusion, she threw it all into her room.
When Song Tanglan heard her say this, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
She knew that her second sister was not afraid of getting things mixed up, but she just disliked these things taking up her storage room, and she didn't want to tidy them up, so she threw them into her room.
Thinking of this, she could only sit up and sort out everything, putting food and daily necessities aside. She was afraid that leaving them outside would attract rats and cockroaches. She planned to give these things to her second sister. After all, she didn't want to be scared to death by rats.
There were quite a lot of fruits, biscuits and even candied fruits and plums in the betrothal gifts.
In addition, there were two bottles of Moutai, two pieces of cloth, and some daily necessities.
After all these things were sorted out, Song Tanglan took a lot of effort to take all the food and drinks to the kitchen and handed them to her second sister who was slowly making a fire there.
"Second sister, please put these things away."
"This is your betrothal gift. How can I, your second sister, use your betrothal gift?"
"Don't give me that. You eat the most of the candied fruit I bought. Besides, these are meat and some food. If you leave them here with me, they will attract cockroaches and rats!"
"Is that so? Then I'll help you solve part of it!"
Song Tanglan had long been accustomed to her second sister's occasional fits. After handing the things to her, she went back to her room and sorted out the remaining things and put them in a box.
After finally freeing up space, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a quick wash, she sat aside and stared at the brand new sewing machine and radio not far away, and thought about preparing her dowry.
I couldn't help but start to have a headache, thinking about the fact that dowries in this era consisted of bedding, daily necessities and fabrics.
These were nothing to her. She already had two thick quilts, and if she made two more, her dowry wouldn't be entirely made up of quilts.
Thinking of this, Song Tanglan came to the kitchen again.
"Second sister, I have accepted the betrothal gifts, but what do I need to prepare for my dowry?"
"Hahaha, I was wondering why you were so worried just now. It turns out you were thinking about this matter. Don't worry, Mom and I will help you prepare it."
"Is that so?"
"Of course. The dowry is usually prepared by my mother. You only need to make a new set of clothes for each person in your future in-laws' family. That means you will have to make three new sets of clothes in total."
Song Tanglan felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She knew that her cooking skills were not good enough. It would be okay if she made it for Xu Qi.
But if you give it to an elder, it would be embarrassing.
"Second sister, you know my craftsmanship is not good. Do you really have to do this yourself?"
"Of course, that's what makes it seem important. Originally, I would have done it for my parents-in-law, but your future father-in-law is gone now, and there's still a younger brother-in-law left at home, so we might as well do it together!"
