A new day, feeling refreshed.
The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the two families meet, and it is also the day when Jianshu and Gu Mingjing get engaged.
Besides Jianshu, both families were very busy and it was not easy to ask for leave, so they combined the two tasks. After all, they were all acquaintances, and the matter of the two children was a done deal, so there was no further trouble.
There was no one else in the Jian family except Jian Shu. Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying, as the closest elders, came over with their two children early in the morning.
The Gu family was a small family with only two brothers. Gu Mingyuan's family lived far away in the northwest and couldn't make it back due to time constraints. Therefore, only Gu Zhan, Gu Mingjing, and Li Gang came today.
There weren't many people, but they were all acquaintances, so it was quite lively.
"Uncle Gu, you're here! You must have worked hard on the road. Come in and rest for a while!" Jian Shu welcomed the three people into the house and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
"Haha, it's not hard, not hard at all. This little distance is nothing. I can walk any farther!" Gu Zhan laughed very happily, and the smile on his face never faded after he entered the door.
At this time, Zhao Mingze, who came in and heard this, snorted coldly, feeling very jealous.
Hearing the noise, Gu Zhan looked over. Seeing Zhao Mingze, his smile became even brighter. He quickly waved and said, "Hey, Old Zhao is here. Come and sit down. It's been so long since we last met. You should have a couple of drinks today."
"Hmph, what are you drinking? With your alcohol tolerance, who can drink more than you?" Zhao Mingze snorted.
This smile is an eyesore!
Gu Zhan’s alcohol tolerance is neither big nor small. Compared with others, it’s pretty good, but he has no advantage in front of this group of old brothers.
In the past, when we were eating and drinking together, he was always the first to fall down. In those years, a group of people often made fun of him for this.
But today, he didn't care at all.
He continued cheerfully, "It's okay. Aren't happy occasions all about having fun? We just need to have a good drink. It doesn't matter who wins or loses!"
Anyway, he has already won!
Hearing the meaning behind his words, Zhao Mingze felt even more uncomfortable. "Alright! Drink it if you want. You can't leave until you fall down!"
Seeing that the two old brothers were arguing again, Jianshu looked at Gu Mingjing helplessly and asked him what to do.
Gu Mingjing shook his head at her, signaling her not to worry about it.
Let these two brothers handle their own affairs and don't get involved.
Okay.
Understanding what he meant, Jianshu blinked and agreed.
The engagement process today is very simple. We just need to set a specific wedding date, discuss the gift, talk about the couple's plans after marriage, and then have a meal together.
At this time, Meng Ying came in with two children.
"Old Gu is here!" She greeted Gu Zhan, her voice full of familiarity.
Gu Zhan responded with a smile, then looked at the two children and waved, "This is Lingling and Ruirui, right? You've grown so big now? I remember the last time I saw them, Ruirui was only this tall!" He stretched out his hand and gestured, his tone very kind.
"Hello, Uncle Gu!" Zhao Yueling was older and still remembered this uncle whom she had met before, so she greeted him politely.
Zhao Tianrui looked at Gu Zhan curiously. Although he didn't remember this uncle, he still followed his sister and shouted obediently, "Hello, Uncle Gu!"
"So good!" Gu Zhan reached out and touched his fluffy head.
Then he took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to the two of them, "Here, this is your New Year's money, keep it well, don't let anyone confiscate it."
Zhao Yueling looked at her mother and saw him nod, so she stretched out her hands to take it. "Thank you, Uncle Gu. I wish you good health and all the best!"
"Thank you!" Zhao Tianrui hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.
"Good boy." Gu Zhan nodded with a smile.
Knowing that something important was going to happen today, Zhao Yueling accepted the red envelope without further ado. After saying goodbye to the elders, she extended her hand to Zhao Tianrui, "Ruirui, let's go get some snacks."
Zhao Tianrui had just received a red envelope and was very excited. He obediently stretched out his hand and followed his sister out.
He cautiously put the red envelope in his arms and looked around cautiously. He didn't know how all the New Year's money he had received before was gone, so he had to hide it well this time.
Li Gang was also very considerate and found a reason to leave.
Soon, only a few adults were left in the main room, and they began to discuss the young couple's marriage.
The first thing to mention is time.
After all, you have to notify your friends and family in advance to give them time to prepare, right? Whether or not to come is one thing, but notifying them in advance is another. You can't just notify them a day or two before the wedding.
Apart from other things, Gu Zhan, Jian Yucheng, and Zhao Mingze's old comrades were definitely coming. They were all very busy people, so they had to arrange their time in advance.
Gu Mingyuan and Zhao Tianlei also need to prepare in advance and arrange time to take leave.
The door was closed, the lights were on in the house, and there was a radio playing the radio at the door.
There is no way, I am afraid that walls have ears, after all, feudal superstitions are taboo nowadays.
Gu Zhan and Meng Ying each held a calendar and flipped through it. Zhao Mingze was no longer awkward and came closer to Meng Ying to offer suggestions.
As for the two parties involved, they just sat there quietly, unable to get involved at all.
"How about April 6th? I asked someone and it's a good day." Meng Ying spoke first.
As for who she asked, she didn't say, but everyone who understands will understand.
Gu Zhan calculated and shook his head, "It's too late. It's still more than four months from now. It's too long."
Gu Mingjing secretly gave his father a thumbs-up in his heart. That's right, it's been too long. The sooner the better. If it weren't for the lack of time, he would have wanted to get married at the beginning of the new year.
"How is it long? It's only four months, right? Marriage is a big deal, so we have to prepare well. I don't think this time is enough. In my opinion, the sixth day of May is better. The weather will be neither too cold nor too hot then, so it's perfect." Zhao Mingze disagreed with him.
This exit was postponed for another month, and four months became five months.
Gu Mingjing's face suddenly turned bitter.
Uncle Zhao, if you are angry, just come to me.
Old man, please give me some strength!
One wishes it to happen as early as possible, the other wishes it to happen as late as possible.
Both sides are right, it's just that the positions of the bride's family and the husband's family are different.
