Chapter 371: Marriage Proposal
Luo Wei saw that Li Zhengyi was leaving, so he left with him, and by the way, he could take Li Zhengyi's hitchhiker, otherwise he would go back alone and go outside to stop the shuttle.
When he arrived in the city, Luo Wei was about to get off the bus, and Li Zhengyi explained: "I am in Xiangning these days, and I will not go to Changshui until the end of the month. This is my personal investment in you, and it can only be used to develop the delivery business in the same city, and cannot be diverted for other purposes. ”
Luo Wei said: "How to do it, Brother Li, do you have any suggestions?"
Li Zhengyi shook his head and said: "I don't pay much attention to this part, I don't know much, and I don't have the energy to care about it now, so everything has to be figured out by yourself." Don't worry, if it's a big deal, you will lose it, and it will be just a little bit of money, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than now. ”
Luo Wei said yes.
Li Zheng thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought of Scarface again, and then suggested: "Or, when Scarface is calmer, you go to him and see if he is willing to do it with you." ”
"He understands?"
"I guess I don't understand. Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "But he has an advantage over you, the region is more familiar, and there are more people available, I remember that he used to mix here, and the people he knows are not less than you." You can do it yourself, say it if you think it is appropriate, and if you think it is not appropriate, you can bring someone to do it yourself. After it really developed, and I wanted to start a company and become the boss, I came to tell me that I don't have anything else, and it is still okay to invest a little money in you. ”
……
Time is the 26th in a blink of an eye.
This is the day when Li Zhengyi came to the door to propose marriage.
Of course, the door-to-door proposal was just a formality, led by the matchmaker, and the three members of the Li family came to Zhuang Xiangqiu's house together and met the old man Zhuang Yongshengzhuang.
Li's father, Li's mother, and Zhuang Yongsheng officially met for the first time.
If it had been changed before, Li's father and Li's mother had met Zhuang Yongsheng, but I was afraid that they might not even be able to speak well.
When they meet now, the two elders of the Li family do not feel much uncomfortable, but feel that Zhuang Yongsheng is approachable with a smile, and he is not as unapproachable as he imagined.
The reason for this is not unrelated to Li Zhengyi's hard work to let the Li family have a family background, but it is more due to the fact that Zhuang Xiangqiu and Li's mother get along well.
People get along with each other, whether they are sincere or deliberate, in fact, they can be felt.
Zhuang Xiangqiu met with Li's mother on weekdays, and naturally felt the heartfelt love for Li's mother, and when he returned home, he would inevitably mumble to Zhuang Yongsheng.
Zhuang Yongsheng, as a father, must hope that his daughter will find a good in-law, and now she has been loved by her mother-in-law before she has passed the door, which is a good thing.
So correspondingly, his perception of the second elder of the Li family will naturally be influenced by Zhuang Xiangqiu, so he will show people in the most peaceful way when they meet.
According to tradition, a series of questions should be asked about marriage, marriage date, eight characters, bride price, gifts, ceremonies, and so on.
The so-called marriage is accosted by the matchmaker, and the man's elders personally ask the woman's elders whether they agree to the marriage proposal, which is the premise, and only when the marriage is confirmed, can the next topic be discussed.
The date of the marriage includes the date of engagement and the date of marriage, and once the woman agrees to the marriage, the matter can be discussed. At the same time, through the matchmaker's request, the man will ask for the woman's birthday.
Eight characters need to find a special master to calculate, to see whether the two sides of the eight characters match, this is commonly known as the eight characters, the traditional view is that only the eight characters match, marriage can be truly happy. After the man finishes the eight characters, the result needs to be fed back to the woman, and the woman has to ask the master to recalculate, and there will also be an auspicious time and auspicious day to be transmitted to the woman, as long as the woman has no objection, it means that the marriage date is determined.
The bride price gift is simpler, representing the man's bride price and gifts, which refers to the gifts that the man provides to the woman, such as candy, biscuits, gifts and gifts to relatives, etc., as well as jewelry provided by the groom to the bride, such as gold jewelry and diamond rings, depending on the man's conditions.
The better the courtesy, the more sincerity the man has, and the thicker the man's family background.
Of course, what is said above is the old tradition of the last century, and in the new century, marriage is becoming more and more simple, and most people are troublesome, and everything is simple.
More newlyweds are even saved from getting engaged, and after proposing, they will directly enter the marriage process, and all links in the middle, in addition to the bride price, can be saved.
There is no doubt that the Li family's proposal was very smooth and without twists and turns.
On the one hand, the Li family is willing to pay, no matter what is done according to the highest specifications; on the other hand, the Zhuang family does not care, in Zhuang Yongsheng's heart, as long as the Li family is reasonable, he has no objections, there is an only daughter in the family, as long as she likes it, everything is easy to discuss.
Proposals start at 8 a.m. and run until around 11 a.m.
Some things are still in accordance with the custom, on the day of the proposal, you can't eat at the woman's house anyway, and of course the woman's family will not keep it, so after the matter was discussed, the three members of the Li family and the matchmaker left the dealer together.
The rest of the things had nothing to do with the little couple, Li's father and mother began to be busy, but the little couple saw the opportunity and returned to Changshui.
When leaving, Li's mother specially gave Li Zhengyi a sum of money, which was taken out of the money accumulated by the two old men to open the acquisition station, and Li Zhengyi never thought of using their money.
Mother Li said: "Zheng'er, when you get to Changshui, you take Qiu'er to buy some jewelry, there are 100,000 here, your father's meaning, let you not save it, you should buy it, Qiu'er is a good girl, you can't treat it badly." ”
Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "Mom, I know this, don't worry." You can take the money yourself, it is convenient to use it on weekdays, I am not short of money here, you can rest assured, I promise not to let your daughter-in-law suffer. ”
Mother Li scolded with a smile: "What's yours is yours, I don't care how much you want to buy." But this is a little bit of my father's heart, not for you, but for Qiu'er. ”
Li's father nodded beside him, and Li Zhengyi's grandmother also said vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes."
Li Zheng took it well.
Talking to Zhuang Xiangqiu about this matter on the way, Li Zhengyi was jealous and said: "I found that since I had you, my status in the family has plummeted, and now I don't even have my share of money, and I only think about you as a daughter-in-law." ”
Zhuang Xiangqiu only pursed his lips and smiled, but he didn't talk, looking at Li Zhengyi holding his mouth and pretending to be jealous, and his eyes turned into two crescents with a smile.
Li Zhengyi threatened viciously: "If you laugh like this again, I will not let you go if you are served by the family law at night, and I will not let you go if you beg for mercy." ”
However, the threat is useless.
Zhuang Xiangqiu even rolled his eyes and put on a look of being picked, which made Li Zheng, who had not eaten meat for several days, itchy and unbearable, and couldn't wait to fly to Changshui.
