Chapter 248 Happy Event
When everyone returned home, Yike immediately ran to find his godmother, "Godmother, godmother, such happy news, such happy news." Yike cheered when he saw his godmother.
"What's the good news? Did you find money?" Wang Cuihua asked jokingly.
"Godmother, I'm serious. It's really a happy event." Yike stomped her feet coquettishly.
"Okay, it's a big happy event. Then tell me what the big happy event is." Wang Cuihua stopped teasing.
"You're going to get married soon." Yi Ke said excitedly.
"Really? Is it done?" Wang Cuihua dropped the quilt that she was preparing to hang out to dry, grabbed Yi Ke's hand and asked anxiously.
"Hey, it's done. The two of you have expressed your feelings. We are just waiting for you to propose. Are you happy? Is it a happy event?"
"Yes, it's a great event. Haha, I'm going to marry a daughter-in-law too. This day will come for me too. Wuuuuu..." Wang Cuihua started crying as she spoke.
Yike looked up at the sky to see if there were any dark clouds passing by, and wailed in his heart: "I must have woken up the wrong way today. Why are they crying when they are happy? Shouldn't they laugh out loud when they are happy? Sigh! I really don't know if they are happy or not." Yike had no choice but to hug Wang Cuihua and pat her gently, saying like coaxing a child: "Godmother, be happy, don't cry, ah. Look, you will have grandchildren soon. It's a great joy, don't cry."
"Yike, godmother is so grateful to you. Without you, godmother wouldn't be where I am today. I might not exist in this world, let alone grandchildren. You are our family's great benefactor!"
"Godmother, look, you are saying those things again. We are a family now, so don't say those things."
"Okay, let's not talk about it. We're a family. What am I going to do next? Look how happy I am."
"You are going to ask my sister for marriage. The eldest girl said that her cousin's wife can make the decision."
"Her parents are so confident? Even her cousin's wife can make the decision?"
"I think her parents should let her make the decision herself, but proposals for marriage should be made to the elders, so the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the same goes for a cousin."
"Her parents really spoil her. She made her own marriage decision. How many parents can do this? They marry her off without considering who offers more gifts. This one didn't even ask for gifts. As long as she agrees, she won't be a bad daughter. Okay, I like this daughter-in-law. No, I have to find your father right away and ask him to prepare quickly. Let's get them married as soon as possible."
"My godfather is not at home. He has gone to work in the fields."
"Go, go call your godfather back. Life is not as important as this."
"Godmother, it's time for dinner. I'll be back soon. Let's not call her anymore."
"You are just lazy. If you don't want to go, then don't go. There are still two hours before dinner. How can you get dinner so early? Okay, I'll go discuss it with Yuling first."
Wang Cuihua left after she finished speaking. After walking a few steps, she remembered that the quilt had not been dried yet, so she said to Yi Ke, "Finish drying it. I'm leaving now."
"Come on, go and discuss your daughter-in-law. As the saying goes, when you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your daughter. It's true."
"Where did you get this nonsense from? Is there such a common saying? It's nonsense."
"Huh! I made that up. It will become a common saying in a few hundred years." Yi Ke muttered while drying his quilt.
At noon, when godfather Du Qingcang learned that his son had a girlfriend, his excited expression was the same as Wang Cuihua's. The couple immediately asked Zhang Yuling to be a matchmaker, and without waiting to eat, the two women rushed to Ma Youcai's house.
Yi Ke was also talking to her sister, and thought it was her mother who came to call them to eat, so she said with a smile, "Mom, godmother, if you didn't come we would have gone over too, knowing it's time to eat."
"Go, go back and eat. We have something to talk to your sister about." Zhang Yuling said with a smile.
"Mom, what secrets do you want to tell me that you don't want me to hear? Let me hear it too, Mom, you are the best." Yike acted coquettishly.
"You're not afraid of people hearing it. You're married now and you're not a girl anymore. It's okay to listen." said godmother Wang Cuihua.
"My godmother still loves me." Yike acted cute to Wang Cuihua and made a naughty face at Zhang Yuling.
Han Guihua felt extremely relieved when she saw how good of a relationship her sister had with them.
"Guihua, it's like this. My Jiankang likes your cousin Da Niu. I discussed with the child's father and asked Yuling to be the matchmaker. You decide whether to go outside the mountain to ask Da Niu's parents for marriage or to ask you for marriage. Da Niu said that you can make the decision, so we want to ask you for marriage first and settle the marriage. After the summer harvest, when we have free time, we will take the child to discuss the wedding date with his parents. What do you think?"
Han Guihua also likes the older girl very much. She thinks she is generous, unlike some petty-minded people. She also has a mild temper. In the future, when she lives with her younger sister, the relationship between them should be easy to get along with.
It's rare for my sister to have a brother who loves her, and she doesn't like to have someone who is difficult to get along with as her sister-in-law.
Han Guihua thought of this and said with a smile, "It's not really up to me to decide. It's her who decides. Her parents said that as long as she likes the guy, she can settle on him. Of course, I'm the cousin's wife, so it's most appropriate for me to do it. My cousin Da Niu said that I'm fully responsible for the engagement, and it's up to her parents to decide whether to go home for the New Year or not. Of course, you can go to her house during your slack season to discuss the wedding date."
"That's good. Let's hold an engagement party first so that they can get along more easily. If you have any requests, just let us know. We will do what we can, and we will find a way to do what we can't." Wang Cuihua said.
"Well, what the eldest girl meant was that she doesn't have any demands. She said that she has already paid a lot for her parents' family, and will work hard for her own family in the future. Let me tell you, she won't keep caring about her parents' family after getting married. Her parents mean the same thing. After the eldest girl gets married, she will devote herself to her husband's family." Han Guihua conveyed the eldest girl's meaning.
Wang Cuihua and Zhang Yuling were even more satisfied. She was actually worried about this in her heart, after all, this girl had delayed her marriage for her younger siblings.
Yike no longer had the last bit of worry in her heart. In fact, she was also afraid that the older girl was a "brother-supporting demon".
The engagement ended in a harmonious atmosphere. Both parties agreed to hold an engagement party three days later. The groom-to-be Du Jiankang smiled like a fool when he heard the news.
For this reason, Ziyi decided to start installing electricity in the afternoon, so that electricity could be turned on and there would be electric lighting during the engagement party.
The wires and lights had already been purchased, but the difficulty lay in the solar panels, which he had to make himself.
His scientific research team had also studied it in his previous life, so Ziyi knew how to do it. He went to many places in the provincial capital to collect the materials. It took Ziyi two days to finally finish building the solar panel.
Solar panels are installed on the top of a mountain, where the terrain is high and there is plenty of sunlight. When the electricity was turned on, Yike was so excited that he jumped and laughed, and sang excitedly: "You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth." After singing, he pulled Ziyi to do some street dance... As for the others, they could not understand Ziyi and Yike's feelings at all. They just felt it was very strange. Why could that round thing glow like the sun? I just feel like Ziyi is omnipotent...
