Chapter 631: It's unreasonable not to give a name
In Qing City, the He family also received the news that their daughter was about to get engaged, and Mr. He made a special trip to come to the door. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The gift money given for the marriage is not an exaggeration, one hundred thousand and one, which means one in a thousand, but it is too much in the Qing City. Ordinary people generally pack about 10,000 and 1, and the more is 60,000 or 80,000. After all, it is only the bride price for the engagement, and it is used to buy three gold for the woman, not including the bride price before the official marriage.
Father and Mother He heard about it from their daughter the day before, except that they were a little nervous about time, and they were not surprised.
Because the hairy foot son-in-law said early on that he would get engaged when his daughter goes to college, the two of them have been mentally prepared. But they always thought that the He family would send Xu Huixiang and the others to come to the door to mention this kiss, first, they were their daughter's godmother, and second, their house was in Qing City, and it was convenient to communicate.
Unexpectedly, it was the head of the He family who was waiting for him, and he came from Kyoto.
Father and mother were flattered. If they want to say, with the old man's seniority, where do you need him to run this trip in person? It is enough to talk to them on the phone, and then let Xu Huixiang and the others come to the door to discuss the details. It can be seen that the He family is very concerned about this matter.
Sure enough, as soon as the old man entered the door, he said: "This is the top priority of our two families this year, and I can't say it if I don't come." ”
In addition to the 100,000 and one bride price, the old man also brought a few of his treasures - a rare version of 52 degrees Moutai, two bottles of Fenjiu that his subordinates respected, and happily stuffed it into Father He's arms and said: "This is a good thing, you can take it!" Just leave me a few cups, drink them here, and the stinky boy won't dare to stop me. ”
Everyone laughed.
As soon as you smile, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.
Seeing that the atmosphere was lively, the old man took advantage of the situation to turn the topic back to business: "I picked a few happy days, but I think about it, or October is the most suitable. Second, the two children have been together for so long, and it can't be said that they don't give them a name. ”
Everyone laughed again.
Mother He was originally a little reluctant, but when the old man said this, tears came out of his laughter.
He Chifeng took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, and gave a thumbs up to the old man with a smile.
The old man gave him a dumb look, and said that this had been simulated at home for a long time, and Lao Feng and Xiao Li said that they could pass the test.
It's good to be able to pass the test, the eldest grandson is not small, the young men of the same age as him in the compound, which one has not started a family, and the children who got married early have all gone to elementary school, so he is the latest. If it drags on any longer, what if the eldest granddaughter-in-law in the photo runs away? It will take a few years to pick it again, and the key is that the stinky boy has a very bad eye, and if he identifies one, the others will not be able to enter his eyes. If he runs away from his daughter-in-law, he won't be allowed to go to the temple to be a monk! In this way, isn't the boss in the vein no later? No, no, no! Today, we must implement this matter, so that it is not in vain that he supports his sore old waist and runs all the way to clear the city.
So he continued: "Location, Weiwei has told you about it, right? The plan is set in a farm under Ah Qing's grandfather's name, in addition to the large site, he also built a small courtyard made of pine wood for Weiwei, which is quite good, you all go to see it, have time to stay for a few more days, it is really comfortable...... The main reason is that the two children think that it is empty and the air is good, if you think that the engagement banquet is not suitable in the countryside, I will negotiate with the Zhenwei Pavilion to leave us a few large boxes, and we can go over at any time......"
Father and Mother He hurriedly waved their hands when they heard this: "No, no, no!" It's just a farm, nothing out of place. We have a happy event here, and the number of tables is too large to do at home, so we are looking for such a large venue to build a shed. To be honest, not to mention the cost of going to the hotel to eat, it always feels meaningless, and it is better to be comfortable and affordable on your own turf. Besides, after eating so many things sent by Ah Qing, and listening to Weiwei talk so much about the farm, the two of us have long wanted to go to the field to see it......"
"That's good!" Old Man He stroked his beard and laughed.
Once the date and venue are agreed, the next step is the guests.
Engagement is not like getting married, and the teacher mobilizes the public to hold dozens or hundreds of tables or something. To put it bluntly, the people invited to the engagement are their own people, like the Qing City, such as the man's engagement banquet, generally two or three tables, the man's relatives and friends group headed by the man, and the women's relatives and friends group headed by the woman are collectively entertained. The members of the family and friends group are either aunts and uncles. In short, most of them are married female elders, which means to help both men and women check the gates.
The old man took out the small notebook he carried with him, put on his reading glasses and turned it over and said: "Let's not stick to those forms, let's not care about a few specific people, let's just be happy, I'll show you, the number of people I count here is about thirty, not including the classmates and friends invited by the two children themselves, you also report the number here, just the approximate number, I can make people prepare......"
He Mu asked in surprise: "So many people? ”
Old Man He tugged at the corners of his mouth, and slandered in his heart: This is still the number after compression and compression, and it does not include his old comrades-in-arms, otherwise it may not be able to fight if it is doubled.
"Oh, I won't say it, don't stick to the form, I know the pomp and circumstance here in your Qing City, there are usually two or three tables, right? We don't need that kind of big round table, let's take the form of a buffet that eats and sits at will, relaxed and comfortable, nothing more than to prepare more food, there may be nothing else on the farm, and there is still a shortage of food. So don't worry, it's crowded, please ......."
Hearing what the old man said, Father and Mother He also let go. One went to Hejiabu to make a call, and the other ran to Meilong Bridge.
The two of them are actually quite conflicted in their hearts, especially Mother He, Meilongqiao's mother's family, how to say that it is also the daughter's grandmother's house, don't invite them, the girl is engaged, and there are few women in the town, so I can't tell the truth. Please, I'm really afraid that my mother's family will do something that will disgrace my family and disgrace my daughter. However, one out of one family, and then watch closely by yourself, you should be able to get through this hurdle.
So when her niece Zhang Yan excitedly said that she also wanted to go, He's mother refused: "The man gave us these places, and there is no place to live if we go too much." If you really want to go, you can pay for your own transportation and accommodation......"
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Yan jumped to her feet and shouted: "Is there a mistake, just invite so many people for the engagement?" Is there still a limit to the number of places? The man is too picky! ”
I just thought, take this opportunity to take the men and children of the family to Kyoto to play for a few days, and live in vain without having to afford round-trip air tickets, what a good thing, I didn't expect that there was a quota limit, and I suddenly felt that I had suffered a loss, suffered a big loss! said indignantly: "Auntie, you have to think about it carefully, if this man's family is too picky, Weiwei will not be happy when she marries in the future." ”
He Mu sneered: "Where did the man pick it?" Why didn't I feel it? I don't need your juniors to attend, do you want Weiwei to come when you get engaged? Besides, we are going to the man's house, which is different from the woman's house, and the expenses are paid by the man, so we just go to eat and drink for nothing. The road is so far, and it is a big city in the capital, including air tickets and accommodation, which is thoughtful enough. When you got engaged, did the man invite me and your aunt and uncle to dinner? I still don't even know which direction his door is opening......"
This return to the pistol is simply heart-piercing.
Zhang Yan, who had sharp teeth and sharp mouths, was dumbfounded, and after a while, he said angrily: "Don't listen and pull down!" When I really want to go there! Don't go to your grandmother's house to cry if you don't have a good time in the future......"
Mother He was so angry that she turned her head and ignored her. After the notice was announced, I told my parents a few words about the recent situation of the two children, and then said goodbye and went home. Left and right are invited, and by October 4th, love will not go!
Father He's side was also angry.
“…… Meiqin pointed at her on the phone, not letting her sister-in-law go, and her sister-in-law didn't say that she would go or not go in the end. Called the boss, he really wanted to come, but at the beginning of the month, there were several orders for delivery, all of which were antique suits, and the customer made an appointment to go to the site to stare at the installation, so ......"
"So the boss doesn't go, right?" Mother He had expected that with the urine nature of the eldest concubine, eighty percent would not be willing to go, unless He Meiqin found a suitable marriage partner before No. 5, and the family background had to be better than the He family. But is that possible? With He Meiqin's rotten temperament, Hejiabu wants to find a man with good conditions, so the eldest concubine still treats her as a treasure at home.
"If you don't go, you won't go, I'm still happy and relaxed." He Mu pursed her lips, and then asked, "What about the second child?" To go or not to go? ”
"They're definitely going. It just so happens that Xinxin is in Kyoto, and he can bring him something. ”
"It's enough to have the two of them go, plus my eldest sister and the three of them, we can also have a small table here."
After the people who went to Kyoto to attend the engagement banquet were selected, He's mother began to worry about the three golds, and called her daughter that night: "Ah Qing's grandfather gave a bride price of 100,000 and one, I thought about it or returned it, and our family bought the three golds and clothes, what do you think?" ”
He Wei knew that the old man ran to the city to propose, but he didn't know that he also gave a bride price of 100,000 and 100 yuan, and he also felt a little embarrassed, accept it, feel too much, don't return it, according to the old man's character, it is estimated that he will feel faceless, thought about it and said: "Mom, don't worry, or so, the bride price sent by grandpa is converted into a commemorative coin of thousands of gold, I remember that a set of zodiac commemorative medals was just released in June, which is quite collectible, and I gave it back to grandpa on the day of engagement, and I and Brother He bought it ourselves......
"How's that going to work!" He Mu resolutely objected, "This thing must be bought by our family, don't tell Ah Qing that you buy it yourself, it's not in accordance with the rules!" Whether it's three golds or clothes, you can see what kind of style you like first, and my mother plans to go to you at the end of the month, and I will accompany you to buy all the things at that time. Your dad will wait for the fourth day to go with your second uncle and them......"
The girl is engaged, how can you be lazy when you buy and buy such a thing! Must be accompanied throughout the process! They don't need to worry about the engagement ceremony, if they don't even have to worry about these things, where is it like marrying a girl, it feels like going to eat someone else's daughter's engagement wine.
"This matter is so decided, don't fight with your mother!" Mother He rarely stiffened up in front of her daughter, "By the way, did your brother tell him there?" Will you be able to come back on the 5th? ”
"Well, my brother has already asked for leave, saying that he will come back on the first and leave on the seventh."
"That's pretty much it!" Mother He was relieved, and grabbed her daughter and said some preparations before the engagement.
In fact, there is really nothing for them to worry about, the old man's side, he began to prepare one after another after the New Year.
For example, the renovation of the micro farm, although Yiweiju is newly built, other buildings, parking lots, avenues and flower beds are old, and they have taken this opportunity to renovate them.
Another example is the joy of candy and return gifts, the old man goes to other people's houses to drink happy wine, and turns around to bring other people's happy candy to the eldest grandson and the younger couple to see, so that they can make a charter as soon as possible, and once the happy day is determined, they will not be in a hurry.
He Wei saw that the round can-shaped candy box of one of them was quite chic, removing the lid and unscrewing the button, it was a round box with two layers of rotatable upper and lower layers. The upper layer can be filled with sweets such as love chocolates, and the lower layer can be filled with small snacks such as macarons. So the clapper ordered this one, and the color was selected as a pink rose pattern, bright and bright red, which was left for use when getting married.
The return gift was also deliberated over and over again for a long time, and the old man said that he could simply give cigarettes and alcohol, but He Qingdong rejected it with a look. Aunt He proposed to send a four-piece suit, but the old man rejected it, saying that the male guests didn't like such a gift.
In the end, the choice of return gift was given to He Wei. Combined with the engagement and marriage of her two sisters, and with reference to the opinions of netizens, He Wei ordered a set of bath gift boxes worth 666, including two cotton cake towels with very pleasing styles, two candy square towels, and two handmade essential oil soaps. With a wave of his hand, the old man added two bath towels on the basis of He Wei, upgrading 666 to 999, which means a long time.
With the candy and return gift in mind, it's time for the experienced team of wedding chefs.
In fact, since Prince Xu's wedding, the old man began to look for Chinese, Western, and a combination of Chinese and Western, but all the teams with a good reputation, each of the information was taken by him, and after shopping around, he finally finalized a team of chefs who have undertaken more than 100 large-scale wedding banquets in six years.
In the end, there is the wedding company. It is not enough for the banquet to be dazzling, the venue layout and the ceremony process must also be beautiful.
Like the time when the second grandson got married, the second daughter-in-law set up a mid-range wedding company in order to save money, which was generally decent, but some of the details revealed a small family atmosphere, which really made people not like it.
For this reason, the old man repeatedly emphasized: you must choose a reliable one! This money must not be saved!
Engagement can be said to be the first time that the man is serious in front of the woman's relatives, and if the brush is not good, it is not only a shame problem, but also may affect the subsequent marriage.
The eldest grandson finally found a favorite girl, and that girl was also liked by the He family (except for a few people), and the old man resolutely put an end to all possible stabbing of Lou Zi. (To be continued.) )
