Without waiting for Ruan Mengmeng to reply, the man ran towards the wooden door like the wind.
"Come in! My sister is in the yard!" This was Ruan Zilong's voice.
After saying that, he took the woman into the yard and walked under the big tree.
"Ha~" Ruan Mengmeng could no longer close her eyes and rest, so she simply sat up.
"Oh, Comrade Ruan, early this morning, I heard a magpie chirping on a tree branch outside the yard, and I knew there was going to be some happy event, but I never expected that this happy event would be about your family!"
The woman looked to be in her fifties, with her hair tied in a bun.
He is about 1.6 meters tall, slightly plump, and walks in a twisting manner.
Even when he spoke, he habitually waved a red handkerchief in his hand.
This look instantly reminded Ruan Mengmeng of the matchmaker in the TV dramas she had watched before.
There is a big black mole on her face and a red handkerchief in her hand. It feels like this is the standard appearance of a matchmaker.
However, she did not see any big black moles on the woman's face, not even a small one.
"There's a stool over here, sit down and talk!"
Although her words were very embarrassing, since she was a guest once she entered the house, Ruan Mengmeng could only follow the local customs.
"Oh!" Matchmaker Li had rushed all the way here and was indeed tired and thirsty.
I sat down, held the cup and took a sip of water, and then I felt much better.
Only then did she have time to look at the brother and sister.
Only when she got so close to the girl did she realize that she was very beautiful.
She has big eyes, long eyelashes, fair skin, and is taller than other girls of the same age in the village.
Ruan Mengmeng did not dodge and let her gaze look at her freely.
The woman nodded only after she had seen enough.
Sure enough, the person who was favored by the mother and son was not an ordinary girl.
"Girl, I came here today to propose marriage to that boy from the Zhang family.
This is the engagement gift their family prepared, take a look.
If it's okay, tomorrow is a good day, I'll bring some people over to finalize this matter."
The smile on Matchmaker Li's face never faded. She was always smiling.
She also knew that Bai Rong found her just to act as a middleman and pull some strings.
As for the relationship between the two parties, it was probably already agreed upon privately.
She didn't have to worry at all.
Ruan Mengmeng took the red paper from her hand and looked at it carefully.
After a moment, she returned the red paper to Matchmaker Li. "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
She had already looked at it and found that the engagement gift alone was 666 yuan.
Not to mention the other prepared clothes, fabrics, four-color gifts, etc...
As for the engagement, she just nodded in agreement and did not make any other requests.
Unexpectedly, he was well prepared.
At least in this era, it is considered very high.
She is not short of money, but whether she is short of money is one thing, and the other party's attitude is another.
It seemed that he really cared about her.
"Okay, then it's settled. I won't bother you anymore!" Matchmaker Li didn't expect that this matchmaking would be so smooth.
The smile on his face couldn't be stopped.
"I'll see you off!" Ruan Mengmeng stood up, walked Matchmaker Li out, and watched her leave.
"Sister, is it okay now?" Ruan Zilong spoke only after the person left.
"Yeah!" Ruan Mengmeng nodded.
…..
The Zhang family had known about her family situation for a long time.
The elders above are all gone.
So whether it's engagement or marriage, as long as she makes her own decision, everything will be fine.
When Bai Rong knew about this, she felt sorry for her for a long time.
The matchmaker had just left for a while when the Zhang family over there already knew that the matter had been successfully handled.
The whole family was extremely happy, especially Zhang Sinian.
After the engagement is completed, the two can meet openly.
Moreover, his injuries are now almost completely healed.
Not to mention jumping around, walking like a normal person is no longer a problem.
It's just temporary, and you can't do strenuous exercise yet.
That night, several people couldn't sleep.
Bai Rong was anxious.
The engagement date has been set, but the Ruan siblings don’t even have any elders over there.
As an elder, she will be the little girl's mother-in-law in the future. Doesn't she have to shoulder heavy responsibilities?
The closest relatives have been notified, as well as the village chief’s family with whom we have a good relationship.
We will gather together tomorrow to hold an engagement party.
The Ruan family has no elders, so she has to take office at this time.
She really has to be both mother-in-law and mother.
Ruan Mengmeng was sleeping soundly in bed, and had no idea that she had to treat everyone to a dinner as part of the engagement.
She thought that the two sides would just meet tomorrow and exchange things, and didn't think too much about it.
In later generations, such things are basically done in hotels.
Don't even think about it in this day and age.
This led to Bai Rong coming to the door with some things the next day while the siblings were still sleeping.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Ruan Zilong, who came to open the door, was confused. Didn't he come at noon?
Why are you here so early in the morning?
Besides, my aunt brought so many things, what does that mean?
"Zilong, where is your sister?" Pushing open the door, Zhang Xinxin put the things in his hand into the yard.
But she is really exhausted.
Early in the morning, before daybreak, she was woken up by her mother and taken into the city on a bullock cart.
I bought piles of stuff and then had it delivered.
"My sister hasn't woken up yet!" Ruan Zilong scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly.
"I'm going home first and will come back later. You stay here with Mengmeng."
Bai Rong put the things in the yard and hurried home.
She also had to hurry home to prepare the engagement items, and later bring her relatives and son over to discuss the business.
She told Xinxin everything else and asked her to pass it on to Ruan Mengmeng.
Zhang Sinian didn't come because the two of them couldn't meet before the engagement.
Otherwise, it must be him who is coming here now.
…..
"Hmm~" Ruan Mengmeng felt a little itchy on her face while she was sleeping, as if a bug was crawling on her face.
She reached out to grab it, but found nothing.
"Hehe~" Someone's evil laughter floated in her ears.
Drowsily, Ruan Mengmeng lifted her eyelids and glanced around. "When did you come here?"
"I just got here, why don't you get up? Our relatives will be here soon." She put down the hair in her hand and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Isn't it noon?" Ruan Mengmeng turned over and prepared to sleep for a while.
"No, I'll be here in a while. After completing the formalities, I still have to treat people to a meal." After thinking for a while, she repeated what Bai Rong had instructed.
"The food has been bought and delivered, and my mom has even found a chef!"
"Get up!" He glanced at her face. "Why don't you get up and clean up? Change your clothes and put on some makeup?"
"Hmm~" An unclear voice, humming.
"I'll get up right away!" Ruan Mengmeng shook her drowsy head and got rid of the sleepiness.
