Wang Meili also knew that Ling Yunrui was rich, but he still owed a lot of money from running the garment factory.
"We need to host four tables for all the relatives at home."
Four tables?
Ling Yunrui looked at Zhao Jiaojiao and wanted to ask his partner to persuade his father-in-law and mother-in-law. It could be a big deal. He didn't want Jiaojiao to feel wronged in the slightest.
But Zhao Jiaojiao seemed not to see it and did not respond to him.
"Do I need to prepare the betrothal gifts?"
Secretary Zhao snorted coldly, "There's no need for a betrothal gift yet."
It's just an engagement, there's no need for a dowry.
"Uncle, what do you need me to prepare?"
Seeing him ask so modestly, Secretary Zhao's expression brightened a little. "Just prepare some candy, and buy the two of you a new set of clothes for the engagement ceremony."
Getting engaged was simple.
It's not that complicated.
"Is it that simple?" Zhao Jiaojiao finally spoke. She remembered from her previous life that some engagement banquets required preparation of certain things.
"Jiaojiao, there is no such thing as engagement in our countryside. You and Xiaorui are still in school, but you are often together. You got engaged because you don't want to be gossiped by those gossipers in the team." Wang Meili sighed.
Zhao Jiaojiao glanced at Ling Yunrui angrily, "What clothes should I wear?"
"You still have to wear red when you get engaged. When the time comes, you and Xiaorui can go to the city and buy a red dress."
Red dress?
The last time I went shopping with Yingying, we didn’t find any dresses I was satisfied with. Can we buy the dress she likes here?
"Auntie, I will take Jiaojiao to the county town to have a look." If she couldn't buy the skirt that Jiaojiao liked, she would ask the tailor to make one for her. The factory brought back a lot of sewing machines, so it would be very quick to make one.
"If you can't buy pork, you can use chicken or duck instead. You don't need to buy too expensive sugar, any ordinary sugar will do." Wang Meili said bit by bit.
Ling Yunrui took note of all this carefully, and would occasionally ask where to answer, which made Zhao Jiaojiao very helpless.
"Sister, have some watermelon." Zhao Lingling cut a plate of watermelon and brought it out, placing it on the stool in front of her sister.
There was a plate of sweet watermelon in front of her. How could Zhao Jiaojiao just watch it and not taste it?
The watermelons grown at home are really sweet, and they are the big ones.
"When the autumn harvest comes, I'll buy two truckloads of watermelons and pile them up for the members to cool down during the summer."
Zhao Lingling curled her lips and said, "Sister, I think you're just too nice to the members. That's why they want to bully you. What do you eat? You didn't have enough to eat before, but now you have a good life. So many people thank you, and yet they think this is what you should do."
Zhao Xibei also took a piece of watermelon from the plate and joined in. "If they have no gratitude, why should we give them food? If not, it would be better to let the workers in the duck factory enjoy it more."
At least the workers at the duck factory are grateful to his sister.
"I'll listen to you." Zhao Jiaojiao was not the kind of person who would put her right cheek on someone who was hit on the left cheek.
"Well, did you listen to everything my mother said?"
Zhao Jiaojiao really felt that Ling Yunrui really wanted to marry her, otherwise, he would have to do all these little things personally.
"Jiaojiao, I want to hold a buffet. I finally got engaged to you, and I don't want to let you down in the slightest."
To wrong her?
"I don't feel wronged. This engagement is just like this. When we get married, you can just make it grand." Is that okay?
Zhao Jiaojiao is also afraid of trouble.
But for the wedding, I hope to have beautiful memories and a surprise wedding.
