Chapter 128: Marriage Proposal
Sheng Manjiang disliked the hut again.
Although it is his ancestral house, he still feels wronged by Qin Yan when he proposes his relatives here, so he has to dress up, so he is not as gray as usual.
"It's good to clean up, you can't put on the lights now, it's almost enough."
Qin Yan has never attached importance to these, and in this era, she naturally will not use modern requirements to organize weddings.
"Then you sit and I'll clean up."
Sheng Manjiang didn't say it casually, he really didn't let Qin Yan do it, he rolled up his sleeves and dried them all, swept the floor and dusted the roof, wiped the windows, and rearranged the things in the house. After all this, the hut is much neater than before, but to say festive, it still doesn't fit at all.
He thought about it, took out a few fiery red Chinese knots braided into happy characters and hung them out, so that he could barely have a little atmosphere, and then put two red enamel cups, a red warm pot, and a red washbasin.
Against the backdrop of these red items, there was indeed a little festive atmosphere, and Sheng Manjiang was satisfied with it.
"Why don't you take out the firecrackers and put them off."
Qin Yan asked happily on the side.
"After mentioning the kiss, let it go, just hang it, it's not very conspicuous."
She didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she said Sheng Manjiang, she couldn't control it, and immediately raised her eyebrows in response, but Qin Yan hurriedly stopped her.
"No, if you really want to let it go, then we can just put it on the day we get married, and we won't have such a big battle when we propose marriage."
It's new clothes, new items, and firecrackers, which are too conspicuous.
"Okay."
Sheng Manjiang reluctantly dispelled this thought, he wanted to give Qin Yan the best, but he still had to consider the particularity of this era, so he could only hold back himself and try not to stand out.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day after tomorrow, and it was Sheng Manjiang who officially came to propose. The captain and Aunt Jinhua sat on their chairs, waiting for Sheng Manjiang's arrival. But before the hour came, the captain began to be anxious, he couldn't sit still in the chair, and walked around the room a little anxiously, and Qin Yan and Aunt Jinhua were dizzy.
"Can you sit down for a moment?"
"Yes, captain, sit down, you are so nervous, I don't know, I thought Sheng Manjiang came to propose marriage to you, not to me."
Qin Yan teased, and then was glared at by the captain.
"Go and go, go back to your room and stay there, and you will come out when he comes."
"Huh? Why, do we still have this kind of attention here? ”
Qin Yan asked incomprehensibly, and Aunt Jinhua smiled.
"How can there be such a custom, Man Jiang is here to propose, not a blind date, there is no need for you to hide, he is probably nervous, he has experienced the idea of marrying a daughter, and he is reluctant to you."
"Really? Captain, are you so reluctant to me? Don't worry, I'm married to Sheng Manjiang, and we'll help you together in the future, our husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits are broken, and it's not that you won't be able to see me if I'm married, don't be nervous. ”
Qin Yan smiled and winked at the captain, very playful. Today she wore a white shirt with small flowers, a light blue long skirt on the lower half of her body, small leather shoes on her feet, two thin braids on her head, and two red beaded flowers pinned to it, which was young and beautiful.
The red one was a little dazzling, so she brought two red beaded flowers, and the meaning was also there.
As he was talking, Sheng Manjiang arrived, holding an oil-paper bag in his left hand and a handful of wildflowers in his right hand, white and red, like a sky full of stars. He chuckled and strode in.
Sheng Manjiang was followed by Uncle Li and Aunt Li, and the two of them were also carrying a lot of things in their hands, they were wearing new clothes, raising their hands and chests, with high morale and great spirits. As soon as they walked into the door, they greeted Qin Yan warmly, the captain and Aunt Jinhua.
"Great joy, both of them are good children, Qin Zhiqing is beautiful and sensible, Man Jiang is handsome and capable, after the two children are together, life will definitely be better and better, today we are bringing Man Jiang to Qin Zhiqing to propose marriage.
Look at so many things, Man Jiang can pay attention to Qin Zhiqing! ”
Aunt Li came up to speak for Sheng Manjiang, and Sheng Manjiang handed the flowers to Qin Yan with a smile, Qin Yan said that he didn't want anything else, if there were flowers, just give her a handful, so Sheng Manjiang went to pick the best wildflowers early in the morning, each posture was beautiful, and the petals were full.
He also had no teacher, wrapped it in oiled paper, and tied a bow with a red ribbon on it, which was not much worse than the flowers in the flower shop.
Qin Yan took the flowers, and plucked the petals with some surprise, originally she said casually, after all, there are no flowers for sale here, but I didn't expect Sheng Manjiang to really get flowers, and the packaging is so good-looking.
"Where did you pick the flowers?"
"On the mountain, the flowers blooming on the mountain are more beautiful."
Sheng Manjiang kept looking at Qin Yan, and he was reluctant to take his eyes away, both gentle and handsome. When he picked the flowers, the petals were still stained with dew, and Xiao Yan liked it, so he was so attentive.
"Hey, hey."
Qin Yan couldn't help but smirk not very ladylikely, both pleased and moved. The captain didn't even look at it, just a handful of worthless wildflowers, what was there to be happy about, he shook his head and set his eyes on what Sheng Manjiang had brought.
"The two of them are good boys, and everyone is happy with this family business, and Qin Yan and Man Jiang have also been the objects for a while. However, the number of etiquette should not be less, Qin Yan has no parents, and no other relatives are there, since she called me to be an elder, then I have to check for her.
Man Jiang, tell me, what did you bring with you today, and how do you plan to give the bride price? ”
The captain picked up the elder's shelf, looked at him solemnly, and opened everything respectfully.
"There are two packs of mung bean cake, two packs of walnut cake, two packs of sugar, two catties of pork, two fish, and two bags of tea."
"The bride price is fifty yuan, and I also prepared other things, a Phoenix brand bicycle, a Shanghai brand women's watch, and two cabinets."
This dowry is better than that in the city, Rao is Uncle Li and Aunt Li already knew in advance, and I was still shocked when I heard it at this time, after all, it was really generous. They proposed marriage to Li Fan, and the bride price for the woman was 30 yuan, plus two packs of sugar, two packs of mung bean cake, a cabinet and a box, and there was no more.
This is already a mid-grade in the countryside, but Sheng Manjiang's shot is really enviable!
"Well, it seems that your sincerity is very strong, since this is the case, I won't make it difficult for you, drink this cup of tea, and your marriage will be decided."
The captain pinched the chair and steadied it, good guy, when did this kid get rich and be able to come up with so many things, just a watch and a bicycle cost two or three hundred yuan!
"Thank you, Captain."
Full of Jiang hooked lips, picked up the tea bowl and drank it up, the tea is naturally coarse tea, it is used to quench thirst, not to taste, and naturally there are no bells and whistles.
The proposal was so successful, there was no difficulty at all, Sheng Manjiang and the others didn't even have time to sit on the chairs, and the matter was done, and the process went fast. The main thing is that the captain didn't dare to make things difficult for Sheng Manjiang, otherwise Qin Yan, who was watching from the sidelines, would be the first to be unhappy.
"Which days have you chosen, and the wedding day has to be chosen by the woman."
