Lihua was shy.
"Has the wedding procession arrived? It's time for Lihua to propose to the Qian family."
"Here I come, waiting at the door!"
"Is Lihua ready?"
"Alright, Dad, we're all set. Is it the auspicious time?"
"We're here, we're here. Everyone, come out if you're ready."
Zhao Xiaoyu took her younger sister out. "Lihua, you just need to go to the Qian family to pay the betrothal gifts. After that, there will be nothing else to worry about. The engagement will be simple."
"Okay, Dad, are we going to have dinner at Qian's house later?" Lihua asked again, fearing that she had made a mistake.
"Yes, we're having dinner at Qian's house today."
"My girl, try to keep your mouth shut, okay?"
The little girl pursed her lips. What did Dad mean? What did she say wrong?
"Know."
When they went out, there was a burst of "crackling" firecrackers. Because the Qian family lived too close to their home, Lihua took the betrothal gifts and walked around the village before going to the Qian family.
When they arrived at the Qian family's house, Old Master Qian and his men were already waiting at the door. As soon as they arrived, firecrackers were set off.
"Sit in the main hall."
The Qian family's wedding procession arrived on time. Qian Shunzi was wearing a brand new indigo-blue gown, his hair neatly combed, and his face was filled with unconcealed joy.
Lihua looked carefully and blushed, Emma, she chose the handsome one.
Zhao Xiaoyu was sweating profusely. She bravely went to the old man to find money to receive the betrothal gifts. "Old man, this is the betrothal gift list. Please take a look."
“Hey!”
The illiterate old man pretended to glance at it for a moment before putting it away. "I'm relieved that Lai Fu will live with you from now on."
"We are a family from now on, Grandpa Qian."
"Yes, we are a family!"
Liu Shunzi was quite envious of Old Man Qian. They all knew that Zhao Dashu and his men would be heading to the city soon, and the Qian family would follow them.
Brothers have been together for decades, and the days of getting together will become less and less, and it may be difficult to see each other even once a year.
Dashu is happy that he is doing well, but his brothers also miss him when they can't see him. Things were better in the past when everyone lived at the end of the village. Those were the happiest days for him in decades.
There is no shortage of food and drink and no worries about money. Just have a few drinks and have fun.
In a few years, they were still in the village, but they were about to fly away. In the end, he was just useless and couldn't keep up with his brothers.
After the Qian family accepted the betrothal gifts, the banquet began.
Not many people came from the county town; after all, it was just an engagement, and the man's family didn't have much to say. The few families that came were purely curious. Oh my god, Zhao Dashu had fallen into the trap of a live-in son-in-law and quietly found another one for his young daughter.
But I heard that he is only a half-son-in-law, and they don't live together after marriage, and the children will have half the boy's surname and half the girl's surname.
This operation was so cool that it shocked them all.
Many young ladies in the county were laughing to death. The Zhao family was indeed born of peasants and was short-sighted. Look at the kind of sons-in-law they were looking for.
They don't believe that this son-in-law will be as successful as the previous one. Don't think they don't know that he just runs a small shop in the county town.
Almost all the villagers came, and many people were jealous, thinking that Lihua would at worst marry into the county town. Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, she ended up marrying a fellow villager.
If they had known this earlier, they would have given it a try. They would have married into the wife's family. It would not be shameful to be Zhao Laosan's son-in-law.
The Qian family was not short of money, and the banquet was well organized, quite decent. The villagers ate and drank to their heart's content again, and this year they were particularly well fed.
I don’t know who else will have a wedding in Dong next. I don’t know what to do with this banquet in comparison?
Li and Wang, who were about to get married, froze their hands at the same time, but after a while they continued to eat naturally. They shouldn't compete with the third brother, because they couldn't win.
