Chapter 45: Choosing an Engagement Date
Here, Father Jin came to Liu Ye's house with a spring breeze on his face, and Liu Ye was infected by Father Jin's joy and joked to him:
"Old Jin, what's the matter? Glad to be like this. It's been a long time since I've seen you so happy. ”
"Brother, my son is getting engaged, no, I'm here to see the day." Father Jin replied with a smile.
"Your son has taken a fancy to that girl, and he must be very satisfied with your unshutting appearance, right?" In fact, Liu Ye knew it in his heart, his daughter-in-law had just told him two days ago that Jin Bo, this kid, was pursuing the old girl Ruge. What he didn't expect was that he was going to get engaged so soon, Jin Bo, a good kid, could get rid of Lao Ru this stubborn old guy so quickly.
"The eldest girl Ruge who works in the bank in the town, can I not be satisfied with such a good girl?" Father Kim said proudly.
"Lao Jin, you are lucky to find such a decent and generous daughter-in-law. Congratulations. Liu Ye sincerely congratulated him. It's still inevitable that there is a little regret: cheap you old guy, if it weren't for the fact that my family is a girl, which round would have you taken the lead. What a good girl she is, she works well, she is enthusiastic and generous, she smiles when she sees everyone, and she likes it tightly.
"Thank you, Master Liu, I want to arrange the engagement of the two children as soon as possible, you can see a good day."
"Okay, for the sake of the children's face, I've done me a favor. Report to me the birthdays of your son and Ruge, and I will count them as a good day with six yao. ”
"Look at me, I was so happy to visit that I forgot to ask Ruge's birthday. Wait a minute, I'll call and ask Lao Ru. Father Jin smiled slightly awkwardly.
He quickly dialed Ru's father's phone:
"Lao Ru, I'm Lao Jin, thank you for agreeing to let the two children get engaged. I am now at Liu Ye's house to show the two children the date, you can tell me about Ruge's birthday, and let Liu Ye calculate a good day for them. ”
"Kim Bo is a good boy, and I'm happy with it. Our family song was born around 5 o'clock in the morning on June 26, 1983. Ru's father received a call from Jin's father, and he also felt very satisfied. Hehe, this old boy is quick enough.
"Well, I made a note of it. For example, if there were good days before the year, let's get married for the children, right? It's okay to be a parent, but it's a big thing. "Father Jin was afraid that he would change his mind, so he wanted to finalize this matter quickly.
"You let Liu Ye show you the date first, there are good days before the year, let's set the year before the year."
"Okay, when we look at the day, let's have a meal together and finalize the date."
"Waiting for your call." Father Jin hung up the phone, feeling a little empty in his heart, as if he was about to lose his daughter who had worked so hard to raise him. I hope that stinky boy knows to cherish his daughter as a treasure, hmph, this kid has no achievements and doesn't plan to cheat my daughter. Fortunately, he was given a three-year contract, and his daughter can stay with her parents safely and continue to live a carefree and stable life as her "eldest daughter" for a few years.
Father Jin told Liu Ye about the birth date of his son and Ruge, and Liu Ye used three copper coins to shake six times to form a hexagram, and counted the days attentively. Father Jin watched it with interest on the side, feeling that it was ** and sacred, and praised Liu Ye for being amazing.
Liu Ye quickly calculated three good days: the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month of the previous year, the sixth day of the first month of the new year, and the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. These three days are suitable for marriage and marriage. Father Jin calculated that the 26th day of the lunar month is the 2nd day of February in the solar calendar, and it is also a good day. This matter should be arranged sooner rather than later, or before the year. He hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Ye and went home to discuss with his wife.
Father Jin returned home and counted with Mother Jin, and chose the date on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, although there were still three days left, but it was still too late. He immediately called Ru Father to make an appointment with him. The call was made shortly:
"Lao Ru, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Liu Ye has already calculated a good day for the children to get engaged, let's have a meal together at noon tomorrow to help the children set an engagement date. ”
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow at noon." If the Father answered cheerfully. Secretly thought: This old Jin is very reliable, and he seems to be very satisfied with his daughter.
"I'll send you the address of the hotel on your phone tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
Receiving a positive reply from Ru's father, Father Jin breathed a sigh of relief. The child's marriage has finally been settled, and the daughter-in-law is still a good girl in the town, and the beauty in my heart is finally able to sleep peacefully today.
At breakfast the next day, Ru's father told Ruge: Have a meal with Jinbo's family at noon today, which can be regarded as meeting the in-laws, and at the same time finalize their engagement date. Ruge was a little surprised: Why is it so fast? She wasn't ready to deal with Jinbo's parents. Let's choose a decent outfit first: she chose a red mid-length slim down jacket that highlights her temperament, and wears a solid light blue cardigan underneath, a pair of black straight-leg pants on the bottom, and a pair of small black boots. This dress looks cute and cute, and she is gentle and generous.
The work in the morning is very busy, the customers are constant, and she is busy in the morning and has no time to think about what to say when she sees Jin's father and mother, but the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, and it will be good to deal with it when she arrives. During this period, she received a call from Jin Bo, informing her of the address of the hotel where she was meeting, and asked her to go directly after work. The hotel is not far from their bank, only 200 meters away.
After getting off work at noon, she changed out of her work clothes and put on the outfit she had matched in the morning. I came to the agreed hotel with anxiety, entered the private room, and saw that both parents and Jin Bo had arrived. She first greeted Jin Bo's parents with a smile:
"Hello uncle and aunt!"
"Good boy, take a seat." Mother Jin greeted her warmly, and Father Jin nodded at her in a friendly manner.
Ruge sat across from Jin Bo, who saw that she was a little nervous, smiled at her, and motioned for him to relax.
Father Jin spoke:
"Our two families have the opportunity to sit and eat together because of the fate of the two children, don't be restrained, you should eat, you should drink. It's about to become a family, and there's no need to be polite. ”
"Yes, let's move the chopsticks, his uncle and her aunt." Jin's mother also echoed her husband and greeted Ruge's parents. Don't forget to say to Ruge, "Ge'er, eat quickly." ”
"Thank you, Auntie." Ruge responded with a smile and picked up chopsticks to pick up the dishes.
Seeing that Jin Bo's parents were so enthusiastic, they knew that they were very satisfied with this marriage, and they would definitely be a good pair of in-laws in the future. Blessed are they singing.
Father Jin proposed that the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month was a good day, and asked for the opinion of Ruge's parents. Although Ruge's parents felt that the time was a bit rushed, they nodded and agreed considering that it was just an engagement and the procedures were not so cumbersome.
Father Jin also proposed that the engagement banquet be held in a big hotel in the city, and it must be held in a beautiful manner. Ruge's parents think that there is no need to be too exaggerated, everything is simple, and engagement is just a formality, and there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful.
