Chapter 396: Engagement Next
As a result, there were two boxes in Aunt Qiang's hand, and Yang Chengzhi opened one of the boxes containing a beautiful diamond ring, and the ring was surrounded by a heart-shaped heart with a small arrow in the middle, and a huge diamond in the center exuded a colorful light.
The ring in the other box is slightly larger than the diamond ring at that time, and it is only carved with the shape of a heart that has been pierced by small arrows, which looks simple and atmospheric, and is obviously a ring worn by men.
Yang Chengzhi looked at the two rings in his hand, and his face changed a few times. Even a layman like him knew that these two rings were worth a lot of money.
"Aunt Qiang, this ring is not cheap, how much money did it cost, I will give it to you, you return it to the people of our village, I appreciate everyone's kindness, just come over to participate in the engagement ceremony, why do you want to send such a valuable thing."
Aunt Qiang looked at Yang Chengzhi with a complicated face, "Chengzhi, this is a little bit of the village's heart, and it didn't cost much, how much you have helped everyone this year, everyone clearly remembers it in their hearts, if you return the money back, you let the people in our village think in their hearts, I haven't heard of the gifts sent to the wedding to be returned, if you don't want to go, just bring the people in the village to earn more this year."
Hearing Aunt Qiang say this, Yang Chengzhi nodded, "Aunt Qiang, then thank you to the fathers and villagers of our village, tell everyone that as long as I am in Yangjiagou for one day, I will definitely let the people in the village live the life of a superior person, I dare not say it this year, as long as everyone believes me, it will definitely not be a problem to earn 500,000 Huaxia coins by the end of the year."
"Now the people in the village believe in you, as long as the people in the village will definitely listen to what you say, you can really earn 500,000 Huaxia coins this year, don't scare your aunt."
"500,000 yuan is for ordinary people, if you want to strengthen your aunt's Uncle Qiang, Li Jun and Xiaoyu, this year I estimate that counting the year-end bonus, it is not a problem to earn 3 million Chinese coins."
Aunt Qiang fainted when she heard the three million, this year Uncle Qiang, Li Jun, and Xiaoyu earned a total of 1.6 million Huaxia coins, so Aunt Qiang was excited and didn't sleep for several days.
After talking to Aunt Qiang, seeing that the time was almost nine o'clock, Yang Chengzhi looked at a large stall of things on the kang, "Aunt Qiang, mine hurry up and bring these things back, otherwise I will take them over at noon, and the family will not know what these things are for."
Then Yang Chengzhi pointed to the pile of hand-made noodles, fruit snacks or something, "Aunt Qiang, don't you need to take this writing thing back, now no one is bad at this thing, you have it."
He knew that these things were distributed to the children and the elderly who attended the engagement ceremony, and thinking about the living standards of people's families now, I am afraid that no one is rare such things.
"You kid, how can you talk, don't you worry that this little thing will definitely not be enough today, and you will have to quarrel if you don't get it", Aunt Qiang glared at him and said.
Yang Chengzhi looked at the noodle snacks and red dates and peanuts made of white flour in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "Just this thing, the people in our village are stronger."
"These things also have a family, the old people in the village said, these things represent the luck of the engaged men and women, whoever can get this kind of thing can be as good luck as the engaged men and women, you are the powerful person in our village, take the people in the village to get rich, you say that these things are not wanted."
Yang Chengzhi stuck out his tongue, he couldn't imagine that there was such a saying about these snacks to drink, he didn't eat less when he was young, and he didn't know whose joy he was touching, so he got that magical space.
Look at this big pile of things, Yang Chengzhi is worried, how to take this back, two big trays, three big burdens, people who know know that he is engaged today, and people who don't know still think that a migrant worker came back from.
Aunt Qiang saw that Yang Chengzhi was in trouble, and smiled, I will call Li Jun and Xiaoyu at that time, and the two of them will be back soon, so let him and you bring these things over.
Yang Chengzhi nodded, "Aunt Qiang, you will go over early, if there is anything wrong, you should say it earlier, don't make jokes when everyone in the village passes."
While the two were talking, Yang Lijun and Xiaoyu came in from outside, and as soon as they entered the door, Yang Lijun said, "Brother Chengzhi, congratulations, give me an extra red envelope at noon."
Yang Chengzhi smiled, "Okay, when the time comes, you will definitely have a big red envelope for Haiyan to bring face wash."
Yang Lijun pouted, "Such a good thing can be my turn, Uncle Fengshan and my father let Tie Dan and Xiaohui bring water."
Yang Chengzhi laughed, "Okay, I'm still fighting with the two children, and I'll give you a big red envelope at noon."
A few people talked and laughed at home for a while, and Yang Chengzhi, Yang Lijun, and Xiaoyu returned to the compound with the things prepared by the villagers for the engagement ceremony.
When these things were brought to the house, there were many more people in the family that Yang Chengzhi didn't know, and obviously these people were the descendants of several old men.
Yang Lijun and Xiaoyu saw that there were so many people they didn't know at home, so they put down their things, said hello to Yang Chengzhi and went out to help.
Yang Chengzhi said hello to the people who came to attend the engagement ceremony, and several old men introduced him to these people, and sure enough, the worst of these people was also at the ministerial level, and they were all princes in the past.
Zuo Yuxia and Wang Haiyan's mother, Yuan Yonglin, were obviously stunned when they saw the two large trays and three big red envelopes piled on the coffee table, "Chengzhi, what are these."
"Mom, auntie, these are the things that are needed for the engagement customs in the village," Yang Chengzhi said as he uncovered the big red cloth on the tray and unwrapped the red cloth baggage.
Zuo Yuxia and Yuan Yonglin looked at the things on the coffee table with puzzled faces, they haven't been obedient and need so many things for an engagement, not that there are two rings in the engagement, what are these things for, which made the two of them think about it for a long time and couldn't think of it.
Those people in the family also saw a lot of things on the coffee table, and they all felt surprised, and they all gathered around to look at the clothes made by the old people in the village for Yang Chengzhi and them, as well as the noodles and snacks they made.
Seeing that no one in the family understood these things, Yang Chengzhi learned the meaning of these things from Aunt Qiang and the people who watched them.
After listening to Yang Chengzhi's explanation, these people felt strange, and those who had been married regretted that when they got married, why didn't they hear of such a thing, otherwise they could have left a good thought. This engagement ceremony is simply more complicated than where they have ever gotten married.
Yang Chengzhi called Wang Haiyan and told him what he heard from Aunt Qiang about the things to pay attention to at today's engagement ceremony, and Wang Haiyan bowed her head shyly and agreed.
Zhao Liqing and Jia Danping brought two large trays of fragrant artemisia noodles and dumplings into the kitchen, and today's dining room at home is the main front for the two to get engaged, and all the important guests have to participate in the restaurant at home.
Yang Chengzhi asked his mother Zuo Yuxia and a few of them to hurry up and wrap some more red envelopes, and at the engagement ceremony, red envelopes would be given to the guests who came to participate in the engagement banquet, so that they could share the joy of the engagement together......
Time is like quicksand between your fingers, more than two hours have passed in the blink of an eye, and the sound of firecrackers with joy sounded in the compound.
Yang Chengzhi asked the villagers to find out from the kitchen, this guy had nothing to do, so he went to the kitchen to help cook.
At this time, there were five or six hundred people standing in the courtyard, all of whom came to attend the engagement banquet of the two of them, and when the sound of firecrackers fell, the sound of gongs and drums unique to the northern region sounded in the compound.
More than 500 people lined up in six long lines at once, and twisted Yangge in the courtyard, and the villagers used this way to express their blessings to Yang Chengzhi and Wang Haiyan.
Yang Chengzhi also knew that when he was in school, when the young people in the village got engaged, relatives and friends would twist Yangge in the courtyard to bless the couple.
But back to Yangjiagou for nearly two years, and never saw any family engaged in this kind of activity, he asked Uncle Qiang, Uncle Qiang said, this kind of activity is a waste of money, the clothes worn by relatives and friends are rented, and the people in the village canceled this activity in order to save money, but I didn't expect to see this kind of activity again at his engagement ceremony today.
But think about it, the Lantern Festival is being held in the village these days, these things are the village's own, and the villagers have basically participated in this kind of activity, and it is normal to see this special blessing again.
The villagers twisted Yangge in the courtyard, and the guests who came from other places to attend the engagement banquet were amazed, they did not expect that there were so many activities at the engagement banquet in the countryside.
For about half an hour, the sound of gongs and drums slowly stopped, and the villagers stopped writhing, and they all left the compound and went home to change into new clothes bought for the engagement banquet.
The villagers went home separately, and a large group of children and young people who had been waiting in the compound came up one after another to send sincere blessings to Yang Chengzhi and Wang Haiyan, who were standing on the front steps of the building.
Of course, Yang Chengzhi and Wang Haiyan also gave them a big red envelope, and after they sent sincere blessings, the villagers who went home to change their clothes also returned to the compound one after another.
Seeing that the people who came to the engagement banquet were almost there, Yang Chengzhi called out the parents and relatives of the two from home and asked these people to say a few words to the guests who attended the engagement banquet.
After these people sent their blessings to the two of them one by one, Yang Chengzhi and Wang Haiyan solemnly exchanged the engagement rings purchased by the villagers on the earth-shaking gongs and drums with the blessings of the villagers.
Old Man Zuo, Old Man Zhou, Old Man Wang, and the people in the village exchanged engagement rings between the two, and they all applauded and blessed them.
After these ceremonies were over, Old Man Zuo wanted everyone to find their own seats to eat and drink, but the people in the village stood motionless in the compound, which made these people from outside puzzled.
Yang Chengzhi patted his forehead, how could he forget about this, and hurriedly asked Zhao Liqing and Jia Danping to bring out the noodles and dim sum made with the help of the villagers.
When these things were brought out, the people in the village seemed to see something rare, and rushed up in a swarm, and suddenly Zhao Liqing and Jia Danping were drowned in a sea of five hundred people.
The guests who had come to the engagement feast wondered why these people were robbing these ordinary pasta dishes and red dates and peanuts.
After listening to Yang Chengzhi explain the connotation of these things in the village, some of the guests also joined the queue to grab these snacks and drink.
After more than ten minutes, the villagers who grabbed a little bit of things were beaming with joy and showing off what they had grabbed with other villagers, while those who didn't grab them hung their heads one by one, begging the people who grabbed them from time to time to give them a little.
