Xiao Qinyun and Xiao Qinyu had discussed this over the phone before. When Xiao Qinyu got married, he and Qiao Qinglu would give him a 14-inch Sony color TV.
Xiao Qinyu was very grateful to his brother and sister-in-law. He had been guarding the border of the motherland for so many years. Although he was worthy of the clothes, he had ultimately let his family down, so he rejected his brother's proposal.
Xiao Qinyun ignored his awkward thoughts and told him directly that he had to accept it. He and Qiao Qinglu were originally in the electrical appliance and clothing business, and they bought the goods at cost price. He could help him buy a refrigerator and a tape recorder.
Xiao Qinyu accepted his brother's suggestion. He didn't want to regret it because of a momentary dispute. Mengmeng deserved the best, and the "three turns and one ring" must be there.
He had already bought a refrigerator and a watch, and the TV was given to him by his eldest brother and sister-in-law, so he asked his eldest brother to bring him a tape recorder and he would pay him the price it cost.
After discussing with Qiao Qinglu, Xiao Qinyun told him that it would cost 350 yuan to send more than a dozen boxes of tapes and check them in together with the color TV.
Now living near the military area, it is not convenient for Qiao Qinglu to take things out of the space directly, but this place is too remote and there is no taxi.
So she said to Xiao Qinyu, "Qinyu, your brother and I are going to the city to pick up some goods this morning. Can you lend us a car?"
Xiao Qinyu: "It takes about an hour to get to the city from here. Sister-in-law, where do you want to pick up the goods? How long will it take?"
Qiao Qinglu: "Near the Zhuyuan Hotel in Luohu District, about ten minutes."
Xiao Qinyu: "Okay, I'll apply first. When I get back, we should set off to Mengmeng's house. You guys get ready."
Xiao Yu glared at his youngest son and said, "What are you preparing for? We are all ready. We are just waiting for you to tell us when to go. Hurry up and do what you need to do. I don't know what that girl Mengmeng likes about you."
Xiao Qinyu got scared and quickly ran away.
After more than ten minutes, Xiao Qinyu arrived, and everyone followed him to the Yu family, carrying gifts.
As soon as they entered the Yu family, the Xiao family received a warm welcome from the Yu family.
Xiao Yu was invited by Master Yu to sit at the seat of honor, but he declined, saying that he was a guest and could not sit at the seat of honor. Master Yu insisted that the in-laws must sit at the seat of honor.
Finally, Deputy Headmaster Qi took action and invited both of them to sit at the head seat of the Eight Immortals table. "You sit together, don't be too particular."
Commander Yu and Xiao Xu smiled at each other and sat down together.
Yu Mengmeng's elder brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, as well as her two little nephews and two little nephews all came. The eight-immortal table has only eight seats, so Yu's father, Yu's mother, Xiao Yu, elder brother Yu, brother-in-law Wang, Xiao Qinyun, Xiao Qinyu, and Yu Mengmeng sat at one table, while elder sister Li and elder sister Yu brought their four children and sat at one table with Qiao Qinglu, Mantou and the other two.
There were not enough seats, so a few high stools were added. The children sat on the corners and ate together at the table.
Commander Yu is from Shandong, Deputy Commander Qi is from Hunan, and Mrs. Li is from Guangdong, so there are all kinds of dishes on the Eight Immortals Table today, including sea cucumber in chicken sauce, fried crispy dishes, braised old duck in tea oil, pork with preserved vegetables, hot and sour pork knuckles, golden marigolds and silver basins, bacon salad shrimp, pig lung, monk fruit and dried vegetable soup, etc. The table is full.
At the table where Teacher Yu and his friends were sitting, everyone was toasting each other and chatting about all sorts of things.
The table where Qiao Qinglu and her friends were sitting was clearly divided.
The steamed buns, bean curd and rice dumplings were all eaten by themselves, and only when they were out of reach would Qiao Qinglu pick up the serving chopsticks and serve them some food.
On the other side, except for Mrs. Li's eldest son who ate by himself, the other three little kids were chased and fed, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.
Deputy Captain Qi and Yu Mengmeng were a little embarrassed. Yu Mengmeng quickly finished her dinner and came over to help her sister.
When Mrs. Li and Sister Yu sat down to eat, they discovered that Qiao Qinglu and her three children had already put down their bowls and chopsticks and finished eating.
Um, don’t say anything, just eat.
After a quick meal, he cleared the dishes and wiped the table, served tea and snacks, and invited Qiao Qinglu and the children to sit down and watch TV.
It was still early at Xiao Yu's table. They had just finished a round of drinks and were now talking about the betrothal gifts and dowries.
Xiao Xu said to Yu Mengmeng, "My child, I have discussed with Qin Yu and decided to give you 1,001 yuan as a betrothal gift, which means 'one in a thousand, unique'. I wish you two will be of one mind, love each other, and be happy and together for life."
Xiao Qinyun: "Sister-in-law, tomorrow your sister-in-law and I will give you a color TV. I wish you love each other and live together forever."
Xiao Qinyu expressed his determination, "Mengmeng, I've already prepared the refrigerator and watch, and the tape recorder will be ready tomorrow. Once the 'three turns and one ring' are complete, I'll send it to you this afternoon."
Yu Mengmeng blushed and nodded, saying, "Hey, I'll wait for you," then turned and went into the room.
Seeing this scene, Commander Yu and Deputy Commander Qi were also very happy. Although Xiao Qinyu had been a little ungrateful before, causing Mengmeng to suffer for a long time, now that the child had made up her mind, the tests and lessons she should have been given had been given. Qin Yu was also a motivated person, so at least he had not made any mistakes.
Being a mother always has endless worries, let alone a family with a daughter. Although Xiao Qinyu should stay in the Special Administrative Region for the rest of his life, if his father is a confused person and his brother and sister-in-law are difficult to get along with, Teacher Yu would rather break off the engagement than marry his daughter to such a family.
Today's meal is the final test. It is said that a person's character can be seen at a bar or table. After this meal, and seeing the performance of Xiao Qinyu's three nephews and nieces, it can be seen that the Xiao family is not only good in character, but also in etiquette.
Commander Yu was extremely happy, and Deputy Commander Qi was also very pleased. They had nothing to say and were just waiting for Xiao Qinyu to bring the betrothal gifts and the "three turns and one ring" over tomorrow to show them off. The wedding ceremony would be held in the military district cafeteria the day after tomorrow, and they wanted to marry their daughter off in a grand manner!
