Chapter 573: Engagement

Although there is no marriage trouble, there is also a lot of process in getting engaged.

According to Qinghe wedding customs, when engaged, the man has to bring a set of clothes for each of the woman's family members, including grandparents, parents and all brothers and sisters, at least one on the body, one on the legs, and a few more pieces with a heart.

In return, the woman's family also had to give each of the man's family a piece.

But for now, the Shen family seems to have taken advantage.

On the other hand, Han Jiang is just an old grandmother, with no father, no mother, and no brothers and sisters.

Taking advantage of this kind of thing also depends on the situation.

Whether it was Shen Liguo or Zhang Jinhua, they didn't want to take advantage of this, so they prepared for Han Jiang's two uncles and aunts, and the things prepared by the Shen family were not cheap, and the things that Han Jiang bought were also not cheap.

If you change to an ordinary family, it may be a few hundred yuan.

Originally, this kind of thing is when the man's family expresses his affection, the woman's family should be less, and the man's family can't be less, otherwise both parties will lose face. Although the current situation is different, the clothes prepared by the Shen family are not less than a thousand, how can Han Jiang be embarrassed to take a few hundred yuan to fill the number, even if he can't be on par with the Shen family, it can't be too bad.

The clothes prepared by the Shen family were all bought by Shen Lu, and they still fully considered the situation of the Han family, they didn't dare to be too expensive, basically all of them were in their early thousands, otherwise if it was a piece of clothing, it would be tens of thousands, so what would Han Jiang do to buy such expensive clothes.

You can't afford to pay for something that's too cheap, and you can't afford it.

This also cost Han Jiang more than 20,000 yuan.

Daddy and mother, two brothers and two sisters-in-law, clothes and pants must be bought, Han Jiang also gritted his teeth and bought shoes, one person and one body add up to more than 2,000, Shen Lu can't miss four sets from the inside to the outside, and it will cost more than 20,000 yuan if you buy it casually.

As far as Shen Jiani is concerned, it's best to send it away, and it's over with a few hundred yuan.

It is said that marriage costs money, don't worry, this is just the beginning.

Are these things necessary expenditures? Therefore, many parents will smash pots and sell iron or even go into debt for the sake of their sons marrying their daughters-in-law? The Shen family is rich, but no matter how rich they are, they can't be sloppy in these things? Shen Hui loves his sister? How much dowry to give is his business, but is it a man's obligation to marry a wife and buy these things? If you can't afford to buy clothes, it will be a joke to ask your mother's family to pay for them.

If you don't have a good time when you get married, it's easy to say how your mother's family can help.

But you can't be sloppy in these processes of marriage? Is there something that is a man's responsibility? If you don't even have the least responsibility, then what kind of daughter-in-law will you marry, so even if the Shen family doesn't care? Han Jiang smashed the pot and sold iron, and he must also buy it.

Is the house car too expensive? There's no shame in not being able to afford it.

But if you can't even afford clothes, you can't talk about it.

This is not only a man's responsibility, but also a man's dignity.

It is not terrible to be poor, but dignity cannot be lost.

Then there's jewelry.

It used to be three gold, but now it's basically hardware.

Han Jiang prepared hardware, necklaces, pendants, rings, earrings, and bracelets.

It cost more than thirty thousand.

Han Jiang's cousin was served the same? Give it to Huang Peipei.

Finally, the bride price, when this was first discussed? Shen Liguo and Zhang Jinhua didn't ask for it, they just said whatever? Taking more and taking less is a formality, and you have to return it anyway? Basically, the least in Qinghe now is 128,000.

gave 128,000 yuan.

The second uncle asked Shen Liguo: "Uncle? The in-laws gave 128,000? Look at how to give it back. ”

Shen Liguo thought about it: "Keep eight thousand, and give the rest back." ”

The second uncle didn't say much, ordered 8,000 out, and returned the rest of the money to the man on the spot.

It's definitely not okay to leave a single point, it's looking down on people.

Leave 8,000 meanings, and you will definitely have to add a dowry at that time.

Compared with the dowry of the Shen family, eight thousand yuan is negligible.

Just like when Shen Tao got married, the bride price given by the Shen family was kilograms of gold, worth more than 300,000 yuan, but Shen Tao's father-in-law's dowry was more than the bride price, a top-of-the-line Audi A4L, and Shen Lu got married, and the Shen family's dowry knew that it would be very generous without thinking about it.

Therefore, the people of the Han family worked diligently, left 8,000, and returned 120,000, which is to be obtained.

Eight thousand dollars is not money.

It's not that I can't look down on 8,000 yuan, and the migrant workers on the Qinghe construction site can't earn 8,000 yuan a month after working hard, but compared with the huge cost of marrying a daughter-in-law, 8,000 yuan is indeed not money, and it cost more than 20,000 yuan just to buy clothes.

This is only engaged, and there are married people who haven't bought it!

After the process was over, it was already time to eat, and Shen Limin and Shen Liwei beckoned to eat at the mobile restaurant.

The process went on quite happily, at least the Han family was quite happy.

The Shen family didn't ask for too much, especially the bride price was basically returned, this stunned wanted, even the wedding house was prepared by others, what else is there to say, this daughter-in-law is cost-effective to marry, more cost-effective than the white choice.

Shen Hui didn't interject much during the whole process, and he couldn't interject on this occasion.

The restaurant is very large, not the kind of restaurant upstairs, but an independent dining room, next to the kitchen, the table is also retractable, can seat ten people, put the maximum can sit thirty people, a total of two, sit more than forty people is very spacious.

The men sat at a table and greeted the five male relatives from the Han family.

The women sat at a table and greeted the two female relatives from the Han family.

The uniformed housekeeper took a gourd to pour the wine, and the two drivers covered the cups and refused to pour them.

Shen Liwei spoke first: "It's a relative who came today, if you don't drink some wine, your relatives say that our Shen family is not well entertained, the car is not a problem, there is nothing else at home, there are many drivers, and after a while, even someone will bring the car to you back." ”

The two drivers didn't know how to make excuses, so they had to make a bitter face and let the wine be poured.

The dishes also came up quickly, there are not many dishes on the plate, but there are many patterns, the sea flying in the sky and swimming on the ground run everything, and it is very exquisite, the shape is also very exquisite, and the dishes in the restaurant outside are visually separated from the restaurant.

Two uncles and three aunts were in charge of greeting and chatting while eating.

After a few bites, the second aunt got up first to toast.

After sitting in a circle for a while, Shen Lixiao went to pay respects again.

The five members of the Han family glanced at it, and their scalps were hairy in an instant, and the Shen family accompanied the guests a little too much, although their hearts were warm, which showed that the Shen family could afford to look down on people, but so many people came up to toast, and it was estimated that they would have to go back sideways after drinking the toast.

It's not okay if you don't drink it, you can only stick to your scalp.

Although there are few more alcohol persuasions on the wine table now, it is inevitable for some special occasions, such as engagement, you must drink when you come, so the amount of alcohol that is generally good when you are engaged.

But no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, it can't stand the other party's large number of people, and there is a way that tigers are difficult to defeat wolves.

No matter how fierce the hero is, it is difficult for the two enemies to defeat the four hands!

The elders came in turns, while eating and saluting, the elders came again after saluting the juniors, today is my sister's engagement, Boss Shen has to accompany the whole process, if you don't drink two glasses with others, it is inevitable that you will look down on people, and you are ready to drink for a long time.

Shen Hui took the lead, and Shen Feng, Shen Yue, Shen Chao, Shen Tao, and Shen Qian took turns to fight.

After a round of toasting, the five people of the Han family were already almost there.

By the end of the dinner at three o'clock, except for one who was barely awake, the remaining four had all been lying on the sofa, and the two female relatives were incomparably well, and the more they drank, the whiter their faces became.

Shen Liguo didn't drink, so he called the driver to send people away.

After sending the people away, they returned to the house for a summary meeting.

Shen Hui couldn't hold it anymore, and staggered into the bedroom and couldn't get up when he threw himself into bed.

After a while, Huang Peipei came in and patted her buttocks: "What's wrong with you, drunk?"

Boss Shen didn't react, he was indeed drunk.

The amount of alcohol was too bad, so I saluted for a round, and died honorably after sweeping a level.

If I hadn't been able to run away today, I would have slipped away a long time ago.

Who dares to force him to drink when he is entertaining outside, even if someone coaxes him, he can completely cheat.

Not today, all I drank was real wine.

Although wine is good wine, it can be intoxicating if you drink too much.

"I've only had a few drinks, and the amount of alcohol is really bad. ”

Huang Peipei muttered helplessly, took off her clothes and shoes, and pulled the quilt over before going out.

Shen Hui slept until the early hours of the morning before waking up, the wine was not bad, his head was either too painful, or his mouth was very dry, he woke Huang Peipei, got up and poured him a glass of water, and his stomach was a little hungry, and he didn't eat much when he patronized and drank at noon.

I didn't eat in the afternoon, so it's no wonder I'm not hungry.

Huang Peipei went to the kitchen, and after about half an hour, came over to ask him to eat.

When I arrived at the restaurant, it turned out to be beef noodles.

Boss Shen was surprised: "When did you make beef noodles?"

It's definitely not now, you can't make beef noodles in half an hour.

Huang Peipei said: "Let the kitchen make it in the afternoon, and you will know that you want to eat when you sleep." ”

"Hey, it's good to have a wife. ”

Shen Hui touched his face and sat down on the table to eat.

Huang Peipei rubbed her eyes and yawned: "You eat slowly, I'll go to sleep first, I'm sleepy to death." ”

Shen Hui snorted: "You go to sleep first, and I'll go after eating." ”

Huang Peipei went back to the bedroom first, and Shen Hui ate noodles in a snort.

After drinking a bowl of noodles and a bowl of soup, my stomach is finally much more comfortable.

Back in the bedroom, Huang Peipei was already asleep.

Shen Hui stripped naked three or two times, lifted the quilt and got in......

For 117 days, the family basically spent time in Qinghe Garden.

Because it was his granddaughter's first birthday banquet in a few days, he didn't plan to go to the hotel, nor did he plan to collect money, Shen Liguo and Zhang Jinhua prepared a few tables in Qinghe Garden, and invited relatives to come over for a meal to celebrate the event.

Anyway, there is a lot of work at home, even if you set up dozens of tables, it is no problem.

And the environment is better than the hotel, the place is more spacious than the hotel, and the food is better than the hotel.

It's such a big garden, what kind of hotel do you go to?

Shen Hui slept too early and woke up at five o'clock.

didn't wake up Huang Peipei, barely waited until six o'clock, didn't wash his face when he got up, and went out for a run in sportswear.

In the early morning, Qinghe Garden was silent, and even the crickets in the forest seemed to have fallen asleep and not woken up, which was very quiet.

As soon as Shen Hui went out, two bodyguards trotted up to follow.

After running along the road between the bamboo forests for a while, after turning an artificial lake, he met the gardener who also got up to run, and saw that Boss Shen stopped to say hello, Shen Hui did not speak, waved his hand and continued to run forward.

After running for a while, I was a little out of breath and walked slowly instead.

After walking for a while, I started running again, and so on.
