Chapter 141: Zhou Lili is engaged
After Zhou Tiantian talked to the old lady once, she had a bottom in her heart.
It's not that she ruthlessly watched Qin Lina suffer and didn't help, but that there was a limit to helping people, and a good person with no bottom line could only cause trouble for herself in the end.
Qin Lina's life is not unbearable, if Qin Lina really encounters difficulties and can't get over the difficulties, it is not too late for the Zhou family to reach out to help.
In the next few days, Qin Lina would come over often, and Mrs. Zhou treated Qin Lina like a normal guest who came to visit the door.
In addition, the Zhou family has nothing to do, and the beans have already been picked and soaked, and Qin Lina does not need to help anymore.
Qin Lina didn't have anything to do when she stayed at Zhou's house, she just asked her homework and sat for a while before leaving, and gradually, she didn't come to Zhou's house much.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the twelfth day of the first month, the day when Jiang Junlin and Zhou Lili get engaged.
Early in the morning, everyone in the Zhou family began to work and cleaned up inside and out.
At less than ten o'clock, the old couple of the Han family, accompanied by their youngest son Han Lixin and his wife, came to the Zhou family.
The granddaughter is engaged, and of course the old couple of the Han family will be present, and they don't want to miss the happy event of their granddaughter.
"Oh, this also alarmed the in-laws, quick, hurry up and sit on the kang, you see that these days are also busy, I don't have time to go to my in-laws' house to sit."
Old man Zhou was naturally very happy when he saw his in-laws coming, and greeted the old couple of the Han family with a smile to sit down on the kang.
Old Man Han was not polite, and sat on the kang very seriously, "Isn't Lily engaged today?"
This is not only a happy event for the Zhou family, but also a happy event for the Han family, this is the first one of the younger generations of the Han family to get engaged, so why do you have to come over to join in the fun.
In-laws, don't you think so? Old Man Han deliberately glanced at Old Man Zhou.
"Hey, what the in-laws said, what can you do? I can't ask for it.
The in-laws help An and the two of them everywhere, and they also love the three girls from the bottom of their hearts, who doesn't know?
It's too late for our in-laws to come. Over there, when Mrs. Zhou heard this, she answered with a smile.
"I haven't thanked my in-laws yet, if it weren't for my in-laws' help, where would the third child buy such a good house? Thanks to the help of my in-laws over the years. "Later, this is what Mrs. Han said.
Old Lady Han smiled and nodded, "Yuan Zhong and I used to love Caiying the most, but now we love Lily and the three sisters the most.
There's nothing to thank, it's all a family that doesn't need to see outside, it's just that the house is far away from you, don't blame me for being troublesome, just get my aunt and uncle to your side. "Mrs. Han has something to say in this.
In fact, the Han family understands that Zhou An and his wife chose to buy a house in the field, and it is impossible for the old couple of the Zhou family to have no opinions in their hearts, so Mrs. Han deliberately said this when they met today.
"No, no, it's nothing near and far, as long as the child has a parent in his heart, no matter how far away he is.
If the white-eyed wolf, let alone far away, even if he is in one place all day long, he will not get any help.
The third child in our family is a filial person, no matter where he goes, he will not forget his father, of course, he will also honor his father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”
Mrs. Zhou could naturally hear the meaning of her in-laws' words, but she was not unhappy, and still talked to Mrs. Han with a smile.
The old ladies of the Zhou and Han families are both very straightforward and neat personalities, and they originally got along very well.
I met just now and said this, but I didn't want to tie each other's hearts because of the house, and there was nothing to do when I said it, and the two of them chatted with each other, and the more they chatted, the hotter it became.
While he was talking, there was movement outside, and Zhou Anhe went out to take a look, it was Jiang Hanjun's family of three, Jiang Hanqin and his wife, accompanied by Liu and He, who came with a lot of things.
Liu and He are both Zhou Lili's aunt and matchmaker, of course they are coming at this time today, but the brothers Han Liren and Han Liwei did not follow.
The engagement is lively, but it can't be that everyone in the Han family comes over to join in the fun, it would be too unusual, and it would be okay to have representatives of the old man and the old lady of the Han family.
Zhou An and Han Caiying hurriedly welcomed the Jiang family into the house, everyone met and greeted each other and sat down, Lin Fang and Zhou Lili hurriedly brought melon seeds and candy and made tea, and everyone chatted while drinking tea.
The first thing to mention is naturally the relationship between the two children, in front of everyone, the Liu family and the He family put in front of the Jiang family to bring the family ceremony.
Four bottles of good wine, loin with four ribs, four bundles of vermicelli, and two large carp that I don't know where I found them.
The local marriage is more fashionable four kinds of gifts, generally double children, the woman receives the gift after leaving half of it, and the remaining half is waiting for the engagement to be taken away by the man, basically there are two families have a surplus.
Some people are reluctant to buy double copies, so they bring one over, and they don't have to take it away when they go back, anyway, as long as the two sides have discussed it, they can't be unhappy because of this little thing.
The Jiang family is rich, so they naturally don't care about this, the preparations for the marriage ceremony are all double, and they are all the best, and the Zhou family is naturally happy when they see it.
The matchmaker gave four gifts, and then the Cao family took out another thousand yuan, "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, this is my heart with Hanjun."
It's not easy for the Zhou family to raise Lily so big, we can't say a bride price of three heads and two hundred, it's too little. "At this time, the bride price is actually not much, basically only three or five hundred yuan.
Jiang Junlin and Zhou Lili are in free love, they are optimistic about each other, and the Zhou and Jiang families are also very satisfied with each other, and no one picks any bride price or not, so no one mentioned this matter in advance.
The Zhou family is thinking about it, no matter how much the bride price is, everything depends on the Jiang family's intentions, and they don't pick here, as long as Zhou Lili and Jiang Junlin have a good relationship, everything else is secondary.
The more the Zhou family didn't mention it, the more embarrassed the Jiang family was to give less.
The Cao family originally liked Zhou Lili very much, and now that she has become her own daughter-in-law, she is naturally very happy, how can she be underestimated? So he made great efforts to prepare the bride price.
When the thousand yuan was taken out, everyone in the Zhou family and the Han family was a little dumbfounded, no one expected the Jiang family to be so generous, and the bride price was actually given a thousand yuan.
However, what the Jiang family prepared was not only that, the Cao family took out a small box again, opened the box, and inside was a gold ring and a pair of gold earrings.
The gold rings and earrings are so simple that you can see them as old objects.
Jiang Jiazu was a royal doctor, and he thought that he was also very beautiful back then, such a family must have something handed down, and now it is taken out as a dowry, which is enough to show the importance of Zhou Lili.
In addition to these, Cao took out four pieces of fabric, some thin and some thick, with bright and bright colors, and at a glance, he knew that this was for Zhou Lili to wear.
In addition, there are two catties of pink and green wool, which are reserved for Zhou Lili to knit sweaters and pants.
Not to mention the bride price and jewelry, just this fabric and wool are a lot of money, and all of them are drawn together, not to mention, the cost of marrying a daughter-in-law is really not small.
