Chapter 6: Marriage Proposal (1)
In a blink of an eye, it was the time of the New Year, during which I dated Ye Jingting a few times because of my mother's urging, in fact, I came out to help with the bag as a coolie, and when I went home, I had to tell my mother that I was doing very well, that sense of bitterness!
During this time, the joy of the New Year is everywhere.
When he was in Chinese New Year's Eve, he didn't need his mother to call him, and Li Chen took the initiative to ask Ye Jingting to buy fireworks together.
To be honest, Li Chen can't figure out what the relationship is with Ye Jingting now! But I think it's also that both people have a good impression of each other, but they are too familiar to start.
The Chinese New Year's Eve, also known as Chinese New Year's Eve, also means that tonight will be a sleepless night, and everyone will wait until midnight for 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve.
It won't be boring during the period, because there is a Spring Festival Gala to watch, of course, this is the official answer!
In fact, it is habitual to turn on the TV and broadcast the Spring Festival Gala programs, but most of them are chatting and playing cards. And the young people are drinking and farting and swiping their mobile phones.
Li Chen was chatting with Ye Jingting, and it was twelve o'clock in a blink of an eye, and at twelve o'clock in the evening, it was the official New Year's Eve, and every household needed to light firecrackers, that was the beginning of the excitement, can you imagine the scene of everyone lighting firecrackers together!?
If you look at it from the night sky, there is a fire everywhere, and the sound is deafening, as if there is a war!
Of course, it is impossible for all people to light firecrackers on time at twelve o'clock, so after the first wave of firecrackers with the greatest momentum, there are still some scattered firecrackers, which lasted for more than half an hour.
After that, it's time for the kids to be happiest, and that's the fireworks! At the same time, thunder continued to sound.
Li Chenke was not interested in these, so he had to swipe the circle of friends on the Internet and send red envelopes.
Chinese New Year's Eve is a sleepless night and a carnival night for young people.
Of course, it used to be a carnival in reality, but now it is a carnival in the Internet, and the Internet is full of information about red envelopes wiper screens.
The lights can't be turned off on Chinese New Year's Eve at night, so Li Chen prefers to run to the big stone on the top of the back mountain, listen to the song and look at the starlight of the nearby village, there is a feeling that the world is drunk and I am awake, if someone nearby sees it, they will evaluate two words - pretending to be forced!
In the next few days, I was busy worshiping my ancestors, and I ate big fish and meat every day, and now when I see meat, I feel that I have no appetite.
After that, it is to go to relatives, exchange gifts or something, and drinking is a must! Now when Li Chen saw the wine, he wanted to gag.
After visiting all the relatives such as grandparents, you can live in peace.
As for the red envelopes, I only received a few, all of which were issued by the older generation of my grandparents and grandmothers, and of course the money in it was only ten or twenty yuan, although it was not much, but it was also a blessing from the older generation.
Giving out red envelopes during the Chinese New Year is also a feature of China! Before you have a job, the elders of the older generation will give you red envelopes. As for the peers, they will wrap each other online, just like your left hand to your right hand.
And after you work, only your grandparents will give a blessing red envelope, of course, your parents will also give it, and you also need to give a big red envelope to your grandparents and grandparents, wishing them good life and good health.
And when you get married, you have to send it not only to your grandparents, but also to your younger generation.
When I returned home after visiting my relatives, I thought I could finally live in peace and sleep in. But the next morning, I was woken up by my old sister coming over.
"You girl, do you want a gift in the future? Come early in the morning to have fun. Li Chen lay on the sofa in the living room and said without resentment.
The old sister suddenly said aggrievedly: "Brother, you don't blame me, my mother asked me to call you over." As he spoke, tears were still faintly shining in his eyes.
Li Chen suddenly had a headache: "Yes, yes, yes, it's not okay if my brother is wrong!" ”
"I don't accept your apology, huh." Seeing the pouting mouth and the tears in the eyes, it looks like I'm going to cry to you right away.
My head hurt even more before, although I knew that all this was pretended, but she couldn't resist that she was the treasure of the whole family! Especially my mother, as long as my sister cries in front of her and complains about her grievances, then Li Chen's ears will suffer.
In the end, through friendly negotiation with my sister, several unequal treaties were signed, and the crisis was finally turned into peace.
"Tell me, my mother told me to go over and do something." Li Chen asked with some dejection.
"Go to relatives! Tell you to get dressed and go over, immediately, immediately. Because of the series of treaties signed with Li Chen just now, Li Meiqi was in a very good mood.
"Okay, okay. I'll go back immediately, immediately, and I'll come over later. With that, he hurriedly ran to brush his teeth and wash his face.
In less than ten minutes, he had finished washing, changed into new clothes, stood in front of the mirror, and couldn't help muttering: "No wonder I wake up handsome every day, well, handsome inside." ”
When I went back to my parents, I found that everything was ready.
"Dad, Mom, which relatives are you going to visit today!? How I didn't know! Li Chen asked suspiciously.
The parents just smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you arrive." ”
Looking at their appearance, Li Chen was even more puzzled, as if all the people he should visit this year have been visited!
When I arrived in the town, I bought a box of fruits, and then I chartered a small three-wheeler to go to Tunpin Village. Hearing his father say the name of this place to the tricycle driver, Li Chen secretly called out "it".
Isn't this Ye Jingting's village? I sent her back! I just didn't dare to go in, so I left after delivering it to the door.
"Dad, it's not going to be Jingting's house that we're going to visit!" Li Chen asked.
"Yes." What a short, affirmative answer!
Li Chen suddenly felt that the sky was thundering, as if he had seen countless divine beasts running in the sky, and a trace of bad premonition appeared in his heart.
"Dad, what are we going to Jingting's house for?" The more Li Chen thought about it, the more he felt bad.
Li Chen's father glanced at Li Chen and said, "Help you propose." ”
Li Chen's mind suddenly went blank for a while, and his mind was constantly swiped by the words 'help you propose'. When he came back to his senses, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't organize words for a while, and he also knew his father's temperament, since he had already arrived here, it was impossible to go back, and he was silent for a while.
Time passed quietly in Li Chen's thoughts, and half an hour later, when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he thanked Master Che.
Standing at the entrance of the village, Li Chen suddenly became nervous, there was no way, all the first times in his life would almost be nervous, not to mention that he was here to propose marriage this time.
Li Chen is now in a state of contradiction, nervous, excited, and weak in his heart.
Regarding the matter of proposing, Li Chen has difficulty in choosing. What's more, I don't resist such a thing in my heart, it's just because of reason, subconscious resistance.
After all, everyone wants to take beauty for themselves, if you don't have this desire, then congratulations, you can be a real monk, but if you don't have a college degree or above, maybe people won't accept you, because now gangsters are required to graduate from high school and above, not to mention so many professions - monks. Don't you see, the abbot who is driving a luxury car and hugging a beautiful woman, is everyone shiny!
Li Chen's arrival attracted the attention of many people who were chatting and playing in the village. After all, the village is so big, every year everyone knows who has relatives who come to visit, and Li Chen and the others, they have never seen it, and they are a little surprised.
Li Yuhua was about to ask for directions, but was stopped by Li Chen. With the courage to take the eyes of the surrounding villagers, he took his parents and walked towards Ye Jingting's house.
The surrounding villagers immediately talked about it and gathered to gossip.
"Whose relatives are they, why haven't they seen it?" A melon-eating crowd asked.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it either, but isn't it Ye Sanjia over there!" Another melon-eating crowd replied.
Ye Jingting's father is the third among his peers, so he is called Ye San.
"When you say that, I remember, that young man sent Jing Jing back, it won't be here to propose!" A nimble head eats and scrapes the masses to get the answer right, but unfortunately there is no reward.
……………
When he came to the gate of the courtyard, Li Chen knocked on the door, every time it seemed to knock on Li Chen's heart, he only felt that his heart was beating faster, soaring from forty yards to two hundred yards, and he could only keep comforting himself in his heart: Be quiet, I want to be quiet! No, it's calm!
But it's useless, the jump is still jumping, and the acceleration is still accelerating.
"Who's coming?" A girl's crisp voice rang out in the courtyard, and as the girl's footsteps got closer and closer. Li Chen seemed to hear the sound of thousands of troops rushing in, and he had an urge to escape.
PS: In other novels, marriage may be the finale. But for pastoral novels, marriage is the beginning, and I hope that friends who don't like this setting will forgive me.
