As the engagement date approached, the relatives got together again, went through the process over and over again, and counted the items the same.

Shen Hui was ordered by his mother to listen and forcibly brainwashed.

After counting all kinds of items, it seems that there is nothing missing.

The second aunt suddenly asked, "Where is the ring?"

"Oh, yes, I forgot the ring. ”

The old mother patted her thigh and looked at Shen Hui: "What about the ring, you said you bought it." ”

Shen Hui said: "What about Huang Peipei!"

"What are you doing there?"

Mom waved her hand: "Go and get it back, tomorrow the engagement end." ”

Shen Hui's face turned green: "What is this called, just have it, what should I want?"

"What's wrong with an engagement ring?"

The relatives are gossiping, in a word, they will definitely have to give the woman a ring the day after tomorrow.

"Go get it back!"

The three aunts united in the front, and they all felt that they should get the ring back.

"I can't buy another one. ”

Some relatives saw that Boss Shen's face was getting less and less good-looking, so they hurriedly proposed.

"Yes, you can buy another one. ”

The third aunt hurriedly agreed: "A ring is only a few thousand yuan." ”

The relatives all nodded, and before Shen Hui had one-tenth of the money for a car, it was okay to buy another one.

Zhang Jinhua asked her son, "How much did you buy the ring?"

Shen Hui said: "600,000!"

“......”

Everyone is collectively speechless, 600,000 rings, can you make up the number if you buy a few thousand yuan?

was struggling, Shen Lu's phone rang.

After saying a word, everyone immediately concentrated.

A call from Huang Peipei.

Shen Lu said a few words and hung up, saying, "Sister Pei asked me to get the ring, saying that it was to be served the day after tomorrow." ”

"If you have a heart, then hurry up!"

When the relatives heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Lu cried with a sad face, and didn't want to go.

What is this, as long as you buy it, you have to take it back and serve it again, can you not be so rigid?

But Huang Peipei called her, and she couldn't help but go, so she had to bite the bullet.

Shen Hui was also a little unhappy, he knew that he would buy a few more and put them away, so he didn't have to worry about it.

After a while, Shen Lu came back with a small box.

The relatives were interested, and they all wanted to see what the 600,000 rings looked like, and they took turns to see them.

The next day, Shen Hui asked Huang Peipei to visit Qinghe Garden.

There were still not a few leaves in sight in the garden, and it was bare and lifeless.

Only the busy work everywhere proves that the garden is still under construction.

"How about retirement, and then retire here?"

Shen Hui stood at the foot of a rockery, overlooking the garden, and asked Huang Peipei.

"It's going to be decades, who knows what will happen in the future. ”

Huang Peipei said: "Why are you so old, you are not yet thirty, and you always want to retire." ”

Shen Hui thought for a long time and shook his head: "I don't know, it may be related to the experience, I just want to arrange this life clearly, maybe there is a sense of crisis, I always want to arrange the retreat." ”

Huang Peipei was curious: "Where does the sense of crisis come from?"

Shen Hui said truthfully: "If you are poor one day, you must have a place to stay." ”

Huang Peipei is even more strange: "It is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and you are now worth more than Ma Yun, even if your career is not smooth in the future, you will not be destitute, how can you have such an idea?"

"Don't talk about this!"

Shen Hui waved his hand, not wanting to discuss this topic, and asked, "How is your family's arrangement?"

"Nothing to arrange. ”

Huang Peipei blinked and said, "It's all your sister-in-law and my dad who discussed it, and I didn't bother to ask." ”

Shen Hui said: "The death of the older generation twists some rules, endure it tomorrow, and it will be over." ”

Huang Peipei said: "I know, a ring has to be broken for a long time, I said that I can take it tomorrow, but my mother had to let it be sent over, saying that it is not okay to not have a ring when you are engaged, and if you don't send it, your mother will probably have an opinion, I am speechless." ”

Shen Hui was also speechless and said, "My mother is going to buy another one." ”

You can't say that my mother wants to come back, otherwise it hurts so much!

"I don't want to, it's all about getting engaged!"

Huang Peipei shook her hair, not wanting to be bothered by these things,

should have been happy, but a lot of mothers and mothers gossiped, which really made people not happy.

So when I received a call from Boss Shen, I quickly slipped out.

Shen Hui pulled her down and said, "I went up the mountain on Saturday and told my dad again, don't go to the construction site if you get engaged, you can honestly live at home, you can do whatever you want, you just can't go to the construction site anymore, otherwise I will be scolded to death." ”

Huang Peipei said: "I can't control him, my father and my mother are just over fifty, I think it's good to have something to do, people are easy to get out of trouble when they are idle, it's better to have something to do than to be idle, and besides, we haven't gotten married yet!"

Shen Hui is not very happy, but what Huang Peipei said is also the truth, people are indeed easy to get sick if they have nothing to do, and they do have to do something to do, but their father and father-in-law have no culture, and they don't have that foundation for elegant things, so what can they do?

With an idea, he said: "Shen Jiagou is going to push all the land, and the dryland township will not give money, I will give this money, but I want the right to use 10,000 mu of land for ten years, it is really not okay to let your father and my father toss, and the province has nothing to do and is idle." ”

Huang Peipei was a little confused, he was really speechless about his brain circuit, why did he suddenly think of this, and said: "Let me ask, I don't know if he will go or not, farming is not a good job, and it is very hard in the wind and sun!"

Shen Hui has a different opinion: "Do you find it, those who have worked all their lives are very good after retirement, and they can always find something to do for themselves, but what is the situation of the old peasants when they get old? Many old people who have entered the city have been fine when they were in the countryside, and they can still carry sacks when they are in their sixties, but they can't do it after a few years in the city, their teeth are gone, their spirit is gone, and they are getting older faster than in the countryside, and my grandmother is a living example, what is the reason for this?"

Huang Peipei thought for a while and said, "Caused by a change in living habits?"

"It should be, at least one of the main reasons. ”

Shen Hui said: "The elderly are actually not suitable for the elderly in the city, especially the elderly who come out of the countryside, isn't there an old saying that where do you come from, where do you go back?

Huang Peipei thought for a long time before nodding: "It does make some sense." ”

Shen Hui said: "I still have a headache about how to deal with the 10,000 acres of land, now that I have it, let the two old men toss, buy some machinery at most, take care of a few people who work, they just have to talk about it, and then transform the environment, the house was built last year, the two old men tossed casually, and earned a few pocket money by themselves, and they spent it comfortably." ”

Huang Peipei felt a little sudden, and said, "Let's go back and talk about it, my father may not be willing." ”

Shen Hui nodded, it was a very sudden idea, and it was a matter of whether it would work or not.

The next day, the whole country celebrated.

Ten tables were set up in Qinghe Hotel, and Shen Hui and Huang Peipei held an engagement banquet.

Engagement and marriage are different, there are no outsiders, all the immediate relatives of both men and women come, near Qinghe customs, engagement is only two or three tables, relatives also want face, will not all come to eat, more than a dozen main people on both sides of the man and woman are about the same.

The Shen family naturally didn't think about this, so they counted everyone.

The Shen family, the sum of the mother's family, the big and the small, the old and the young all came, more than fifty people, and the Huang family also came a lot, barely filling ten tables, the seat is the highest standard in Qinghe, three thousand and eighty-one tables, plus tobacco and alcohol are only tens of thousands of yuan.

In the eyes of the Shen family, it is nothing, but in the eyes of the relatives of the Huang family, it is full of local tyrants.

Shen Hui is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he looks like a groom.

Huang Peipei wore a pale yellow skirt, beautiful and generous, revealing freshness.

The noise of the doll, the children scurrying around, a little noisy, but a little more angry.

There was a separate table in the hall, and the parents of both sides presided over it, went through various procedures, brought various items, rings, gift money, etc., and the third uncle, who acted as a matchmaker, served it to the Huang family's speaker, solemn and solemn.

This also has a name, called the next dowry.

Relatively speaking, the engagement is relatively simple.

After going through the process and giving the dowry, it is over.

The dowry refers to Shen Tao, a kilogram of gold, this can't be special, otherwise the two daughters-in-law are treated differently, let's not say how much it's worth, but this meaning is very good, Miss Qianjin, the farmer can also produce a phoenix, and most people in the Huang family are quite satisfied.

Even if you are not satisfied, you will not say it at this time.

The return gift is also kind, five eights.

The Shen family felt that they had face, and if they went back to four figures, their faces would not look good.

Shen Hui has already experienced it, so there is nothing new, and the whole process is at the mercy of him.

Huang Peipei is different, a little excited, and a little expectant.

After the ceremony, the official opening of the banquet.

Huang Peipei held a wine plate, and Shen Hui carried a wine bottle, toasting from table to table.

After a round of saluting, the banquet was almost finished.

Ten tables, all of them all in a circle, how can it take an hour.

Shen Hui's legs were a little sore, and his smiling face was a little wooden, and after putting down the wine bottle, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and came to the seat left for him by Shen Chao with Huang Peipei, swept his eyes, and ate a lot, and reserved it for the two of them.

Unlike the table where the old man and the old lady sit, each person has a plastic bag, and even the food is packed, and the disc has long been disced.

But then again, the CD is also a good thing, and it fits the latest call of the great man.

Waste is not a good habit, and the old men and ladies are used to it very thoroughly.

It seems that Qinghe Hotel has also introduced a corresponding system, if the disc is not discounted.

Far away......

Shen Hui swept the people on the table, there were no outsiders, Shen Chao, Shen Tao, Shen Feng, Shen Yue and the like, and they didn't need to be polite, they first sandwiched a piece of mutton chops for Huang Peipei, and then directly grabbed a piece of mutton with their hands and ate it directly, and they were hungry all morning.
