173 Marriage proposals
Xing Ming didn't see Qian Manzhi again until he left, he couldn't wait for the marriage with Qian's mother, and said that he would give the bride price according to the rules.
Mother Qian likes to pay attention to all kinds of customs, but this time she didn't say anything, and she didn't ask for a bride price, she just asked Xing Ming to be good to Zhao Lele.
Xing Ming insisted on giving the bride price, but Qian's mother couldn't push it off, so she gave it to Zhao Lele, saying that she would be used as private money.
Mother Qian took Xing Ming's hand and said: "Lele doesn't have a good mother's family, and she doesn't have a large amount of money to marry, she has had a hard life since she was a child, you must be good to her." ”
Zhao Lele wanted to say something with red eyes, but Xing Ming seriously promised that he would be good to her for the rest of his life.
Qian Manzhi waited until Monday when Bingbing went to school before she had time to return to her parents' house, she still wanted to see Zhao Lele, who knew that the two of them would leave.
"Mom, why don't you let me tell me." Qian Manzhi blames his daughter and his mother's family. Zhao Lele is too far away for her to say, but Qian Mu has become the best target for anger in front of her.
Mother Qian was too lazy to pay attention to Qian Manzhi, she directly pretended not to hear.
Wang Lan happened to hear this in the house, she was not very polite, and shouted directly: "Sister, don't blame your mother, you want to blame yourself." It's rare for Lele to come back once, you see what you've done, what do you make Lele think. ”
Qian Manzhi was unhappy, what did she do, she obviously didn't do anything, where was she sorry for Lele, and she was angry with her mother.
Wang Lan felt that her sister-in-law was also eccentric, and not doing anything was the biggest mistake. Whose daughter who doesn't come back once in a few years is treated like this, and blames the child for being angry.
"Manzhi, Lele is not angry, it is the nephew and son-in-law who still have to teach the students, and they don't have time to leave." Wang Lan has no culture but respects teachers very much, not to mention that Xing Ming is still a university teacher, in her heart she is a cultural person.
Qian Manzhi sneered: "Sister-in-law, Lele is not married yet, where did you come from your nephew and son-in-law." ”
Wang Lan was sweeping the floor in the house, she swept Qian Manzhi's feet with a broom, and replied not very politely: "Xing Ming gave all the bride price, and said that he would apply for a certificate with Lele when he went back, and I didn't shout anything about my nephew and son-in-law." ”
"To whom?" Qian Manzhi asked excitedly.
Qian Mu suddenly said loudly: "Of course it's for me, but I received it and transferred it to Lele." ”
"Mom, you didn't leave a little left, after all, you also raised Lele for a few years." Qian Manzhi brought up the past.
"I stepped into the coffin with one foot, what do I want so much money for, what I don't bring with me when I live, and I don't bring with me when I die. Your brother and sister-in-law also said no, Lele doesn't have a good mother's family, and after getting married, he doesn't even have a supporter, and he doesn't know where to go if he wants to go back to his parents' house after a quarrel. Alas! Mother Qian sighed at the end.
"Mom, how can there be no mother's family, I'm her own mother." Qian Manzhi was not happy, he didn't say anything if he didn't see his daughter, and he had to be told by his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Wang Lan saw her mother-in-law talking about her sister-in-law, and she didn't want to hear too much, so she swept the courtyard outside with a broom, which was regarded as retaining the last bit of decency for Qian Manzhi.
Qian Manzhi is not a three-year-old child, they are all people who hold their grandchildren, and Qian's mother refused to say anything more after saying a few words. The old lady only urged Qian Manzhi to go home early to cook for the soldiers, and not to starve the children.
When Qian Manzhi heard the name of the soldier, he really didn't entangle anymore, and when he left, he muttered that Zhao Lele had no sister and brother relationship, and it was rare to come back once and the soldier didn't help if he had something.
Mother Qian's ears were always inactive, but this sentence reached her ears. She didn't bother to ask Bingbing what a student had to do with Zhao Lele, so she directly sent Qian Manzhi away before going into the house to rest.
Zhao Lele and Xing Ming have returned to Yangcheng, one has returned to school to attend classes, and the other has returned home to rest.
When Xing Ming returned home in the evening, Zhao Lele settled accounts with him and said: "You didn't have a marriage proposal, you didn't even have a ring, and you dared to say that you would give the bride price, I don't admit it." ”
Xing Ming explained aggrievedly: "It's right that I don't propose, I can't blame me for the ring, I always want the two of us to go to the jewelry store together to pick up, and I will buy whatever you like." ”
"Forget it, let's go to the jewelry store when you're not busy!" Zhao Lele doesn't like to wear jewelry, but a wedding ring is an essential item.
"You can't buy a ring, you take this bracelet first." Xing Ming put the bracelet he had bought back for a long time to Zhao Lele to wear.
Zhao Lele looked at the familiar bracelet, and did not refuse Xing Ming's kindness.
The students of the summer school are on vacation, but Xing Ming is busy doing experiments, traveling, revising papers, and cooperating with foreign experts, saying that the summer vacation can be easier, but in fact he is busier than usual, and this is still without going out in the field.
His proposed proposal, which he had planned to complete during the summer vacation, was also delayed until the fall.
Autumn in Yangcheng is not autumnal, the sun is still high in the sky, and the temperature is not low, which is no different from the hot summer.
Xing Ming asked Zhao Lele to have dinner on the cruise ship at night, and by the way, he could see the night view of the riverside. The restaurant on the top floor of the cruise ship he booked was an open-air restaurant on the third floor.
Zhao Lele can not only see the beautiful night scenery on both sides of the strait when sitting on the boat, but also hear the voices of tourists on the shore a little louder.
Xing Ming sat opposite Zhao Lele, even in the dim light, he could clearly see her face, and when he got along at close range, every move and subtle change in expression could not escape his eyes.
He waited for Zhao Lele to relax and show an expression of enjoyment before quietly taking out the ring.
The waiter also helped to send a bouquet of flowers, Xing Ming handed the flowers to Zhao Lele, took the ring and put it on her hand.
Zhao Lele glanced around, and was glad that there was no one dining in the restaurant on the third floor, especially since this time had already passed the peak period of dining.
Xing Ming clumsily put it on for a long time, and tried a few fingers before he successfully put the ring on.
Zhao Lele took his hand back and looked back and forth for a few minutes, and did not say yes or no, let Xing Ming keep staring at her, waiting for her to answer.
"When did you go to buy the ring, didn't you say that we should go and pick out the ring together?" Zhao Lele is still not satisfied with the ring on her hand, she prefers other styles.
"Put this one on first, and then pick a pair when we get married, and you can wear it instead." Xing Ming didn't know Zhao Lele's thoughts, but this answer was safe.
Zhao Lele asked uncertainly: "Can I buy an extra pair of wedding rings?" ”
Xing Ming soothed: "It's okay, this pair of rings when we got engaged, so it won't be a problem to buy another pair of rings when we get married." ”
Zhao Lele stuck out his tongue and said, "Still engaged?" ”
Xing Ming knew that Zhao Lele had never been married because he was afraid of trouble, and said that a cumbersome wedding ceremony could make people dizzy, and it was more suitable for a simple wedding.
"Don't worry, there is no need to do any ceremony, let's go home and have a meal together, just tell the family, and let the family prepare for the wedding by the way." Xing Ming has been waiting for this day for a long time.
