Chapter 365 Engagement
"Xiao Qiao also knows how to fry tea?" Kang Weimin saw that the tea in the cup was clear and transparent, with a pleasant fragrance. It was smooth and mellow when he drank it, making his mouth water. It was indeed the best tea.
"Not really. It's just that our family picked a lot of tea leaves in the spring, but no one knew how to roast them. I was afraid of wasting the good tea leaves, so I just followed the instructions in the book and roasted the tea leaves according to the records. Actually, it wasn't roasted very well. My godfather said it was well, but that's just because he loves the whole thing." Qiao Mo shook his head.
She had never learned how to fry tea, but in her previous life, before the end of the world, she went to a tea factory with her teammates and saw how tea was fried by hand, so she imitated them and started frying tea leaves.
"The fact that you can brew such delicious tea without any traditional training shows that you have a good understanding. With diligent practice, you will definitely brew even better tea." Professor Huang said happily, "Xiao Mo, I'm a friend of your godfather and future father-in-law, and I'm also the matchmaker between you and Mingyuan. When you brew delicious tea, don't forget to leave some for me."
"I will definitely not forget Professor Huang." Qiao Mo nodded. She thought that with her godfather showing off, the tea trees in the backyard might not meet everyone's needs. Should she plant a few tea trees in her own backyard?
"Your godfather and I have known each other for dozens of years. It's too old to call him Professor Huang. Just call him Uncle Huang from now on." Professor Huang said dissatisfiedly.
"Uncle Huang." Qiao Mo followed suit and called him uncle.
"That's right." Professor Huang nodded happily. "Old Wu, we've been friends for decades. You know I'm a playboy. I'm here today at your house on behalf of Comrade Kang Weimin, acting as a matchmaker to propose marriage to you. Comrade Kang Weimin's son, Kang Mingyuan, has fallen in love with your daughter, Qiao Mo. I hope you can agree to their marriage."
Wu Yuanxin nodded. "Mingyuan is a good boy. Since he and my Xiaomo have hit it off, we can only make it happen. We have agreed to the marriage. Xiaomo is still young and naive. I hope Comrade Weimin and Comrade Jiying will be more tolerant in the future. I also hope Mingyuan will take care of her for a while."
"Qiao Mo is a good girl. It is a blessing for my boy to marry her. Mingyuan still has many shortcomings. I hope Comrade Yuan Xin and Comrade Qie Ge will give him more guidance in the future." Kang Weimin also expressed his opinion.
"Mingyuan is a good kid, but when two people spend too much time together, conflicts are inevitable. Mingyuan is a boy, and he's two years older than Xiaomo. I hope you can treat her well. If she does anything wrong, please tell us and we'll teach her a lesson."
"Uncle, uncle, Mo Mo is a good girl picked out by thousands of people. I will cherish her well." Kang Mingyuan also quickly assured.
"Xiao Mo is hardworking and kind, smart and hardworking. She is a very good girl. Mingyuan is also a leader among the younger generation. The two of them can be a perfect match." Professor Huang praised both of them.
Next, the two sides exchanged engagement letters, which was considered to have finalized the marriage, and then discussed the wedding details: because this era emphasized hardship and simplicity, the engagement ceremony was omitted. After consultation between the parents of both sides and the matchmaker, it was initially decided to hold the wedding during the winter vacation. As for the specific date, it would be determined based on the situation at that time.
It was almost time, and the brothers Wu Weiqian and Wu Weijin went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Qiao Mo wanted to go with them to help, but Wu Weiqian pushed her out and asked her to talk to Ji Ying and the others.
"Qiao Mo, are you staying here for the rest of your life?" Ji Ying saw Kang Weimin and Kang Mingyuan, father and son, chatting with Wu Yuanxin and the others, and not paying attention to them, so she pulled Qiao Mo aside and asked.
