On this day, the Lu family had dinner at Wei Guangliang's house before driving away.

Su Tong watched the Wei family's car leave, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

She knew that the elders would definitely discuss her and Lu Yicheng's marriage today, but the marriage would have to wait for half a year at the earliest, after all, she still had one semester to graduate. However, she thought of getting married, and she didn't expect that there was a custom in this place to get engaged before getting married.

Maybe she was worried that after she returned to school, Li Da would come up with something else, but when Sun Hongmei discussed with the Lu family, she strongly stated that the two must be engaged before the start of school.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and there are only about ten days left before Su Tong starts school.

Time was pressing, and the two families simply discussed the engagement before going back in the dark.

During this whole process, Su Tong was like a mascot, sitting quietly and listening to the elders.

As long as she doesn't violate her bottom line decision, the elders can toss as much as they want, and she doesn't worry about that.

She didn't know that her laziness was in the eyes of the Lu family, but it was a variety of advantages.

On the way back to the city, Lu's mother said to her husband and mother-in-law: "I didn't find out before, the niece of the Wei family is a calm person. ”

Lu Zheng on the side couldn't help but nodded, he has been in politics for many years, and he thinks he has a certain eye for people. Looking at it today, this Su Tong is a person who can carry things.

Mrs. Lu still prefers Wei Xiulan's gentleness and loveliness, this Su Tong is a little colder. The discussion is obviously about his own marriage, but it is quiet as if it has nothing to do with him.

When these words came out, Lu Mu immediately persuaded: "Mom, I know that Xiulan is a good one, how can you be wrong with your fancies." But she is no longer there after all, and when Su Tong comes in the future, she can't compare the two of them in front of her. ”

"I know." Old Mrs. Lu nodded, although she preferred Wei Xiulan, she also knew how to measure.

On the other end, the Wei family.

After the Lu family left, Sun Hongmei stopped Su Tong and criticized her for being too restrained in the Lu family today.

Su Tong lowered her eyebrows and accepted her aunt's criticism obediently.

"You want to live with them in the future, you have to be more proactive and sweet-mouthed."

Su Tong nodded, and her aunt was right.

She has known Lu Yicheng that their Lu family lives in a three-story western-style building in the compound, except for three meals a day, she must go down to the restaurant on the first floor to eat, and she can stay on their third floor the rest of the time. In other words, she has a lot of private space, even if she doesn't get along very closely with the elders of the Lu family. Three meals a day, she just eats with her head bored.

After Sun Hongmei finished educating her niece, she thought that she would marry into the Lu family in a few months, and she would no longer be as free as her daughter's family, and she was so distressed.

"Although you have to be filial to your in-laws and get along well with the Lu family, if they have wronged you, you don't have to endure it, come back and tell me and your uncle, we will definitely make decisions for you."

"I see." Su Tong only said that he knew, but whether he would do it was another matter. Generally, if she is wronged, she will return it herself.

She understands Sun Hongmei's contradictions, this may be the so-called parental heart, hoping that the married child can integrate into the new family, but also afraid that she will be wronged in the new family.

Because she had to get engaged to Su Tong before she went back to school, Sun Hongmei was so busy that she only stayed for half a day when she went back to her parents' house before going home. Not to mention anything else, but the food to be prepared at the engagement banquet was enough for her to be busy.

And this time I was not very happy to go back to my parents' house, my mother's family took her hand one by one, praising her for making a good decision, saying that such a good in-law of the Lu family is indeed going to be arrested. Living like she was just using her niece, which made her very unhappy, so she left early.

But on the long way home, Sun Hongmei thought a lot.

What her mother's family said was right, she asked Su Tong to marry, why didn't she take advantage of it.

Because of this guilt, she plans to make amends, first of all, this engagement banquet has to be done well.

When she got home, she took out the savings that would never be touched from the closet, gritted her teeth and pulled out a hundred of them.

"Xiuzhi, Ah Tong, you two come out."

Hearing Sun Hongmei's call, the two people in the room immediately ran to the living room.

Sun Hongmei put the 100 yuan in Su Tong's hands and said to her daughter: "When the market opens on the sixth day of the new year, you accompany Ah Tong to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county to buy two beautiful clothes, remember to buy festive colors." ”

As soon as the word festive came out, both of them understood that this was worn when they bought it for engagement.

Su Tong felt that there was no need to be like this, the new set of clothes he bought for the New Year was very good, and he was not ashamed to wear this one that day.

Sun Hongmei disliked: "No, that dress is not festive enough, you have to buy a bright red one." ”

However, before waiting for the sixth day of the junior high school, on the fifth day of the junior high school, Lu Yicheng came with Lu's mother again, told the Wei family about the few engagement days, and also sent some things that might be used that day, including a red very Hong Kong-style skirt.

This made Sun Hongmei very happy, but she tried to restrain herself from being so obvious, and discussed with the Lu family which day to choose.

In the end, the two families chose the 16th day of the lunar calendar.

The moon on the fifteenth day is round and sixteen, and the day is good, and the two families are very satisfied.

After the Lu family left, Sun Hongmei immediately asked Su Tong to go back to the room to try on clothes.

Su Tong has a good figure, and the style of this skirt will not be outdated after decades, but she can also control such a bright color.

Sun Hongmei looked at her niece dressed in festive clothes, and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. There are not only the proud daughters of my family, but also the reluctance of raising cabbage to be arched by pigs.

She touched the material of Su Tong's skirt and sighed: "The material of this skirt is so good, it can be seen that the Lu family is concerned about this matter." ”

The Lu family is so concerned, Ah Tong will not be neglected when she marries, and her hanging heart has also been put down a lot.

Wei Xiuzhi originally disliked this color, but her cousin really looked good when she put it on, and she was stunned.

"Sister, you look good in this dress. If I wore it, it would look like a red envelope. ”

Wei Xiuzhi's analogy directly made Sun Hongmei and Su Tong laugh.

"When you get married in the future, my sister will send you a wedding dress, which will be white, so that our Xiuzhi will wear it like a fairy."

Wei Xiuzhi was thin-skinned, and she blushed when she was teased like this: "It's early, why are you talking about this." ”

"Oh, too, our family Xiuzhi still has to go to college." Su Tong sincerely hopes that she can be admitted. Whether it is in the future or now, the college entrance examination is the only way for ordinary people to change their fate.

She didn't want Wei Xiuzhi to be like most of the girls in this village, to be arranged by her parents to marry at the age of eighteen or nine, and then another generation would have a repetitive fate.

-

Soon, it was the day of engagement on the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar.

The night before, Sun Hongmei and his wife could be said to have not slept much, but the next day they were still in good spirits. Maybe this is the so-called people are in good spirits at happy events.

Although it was an engagement banquet, the elders on both sides were afraid that they would wronged Su Tong, so the pomp was enough. Not to mention anything else, but the dozens of meters of firecrackers were set off all morning.

The sound of firecrackers resounded in the sky, and the ears of the villagers who lived close to Wei Guangliang's house were numb.

Some people say that Wei Guangliang and his wife are sincere enough to this niece, and the scene is bigger than marrying their daughter for the first time. Others scoffed, saying that they were just afraid of being gossiped about. In short, there is a lot of saying.

When someone from the Lu family came, three cars parked side by side at the door of Wei Guangliang's house, and the people who saw it were sour.

Li Guilan said: "If my daughter can marry such a family, I will definitely make the scene bigger than theirs." ”

Zhang Guihua laughed at her for daydreaming: "Your two girls can marry into a family like the Lu family, and our Xiaoya can also marry the governor's son." ”

"Zhang Guihua, what do you mean? Look down on our second girl, right? ”

The whole name was shouted, Zhang Guihua knew that she had provoked her, and hurriedly said: "Just kidding, why are you serious." ”

Li Guilan sneered and sneered: "Didn't you say that the steel plant worker you introduced was good?" Look at the Lu family, there are three cars when they are engaged. ”

In her life, she never expected to see so many cars in the village at the same time, and her eyes were about to look straight.

Zhang Guihua's face was slightly red when she was sarcastic, and she forcibly defended herself: "Can it be compared like this?" The ancestors of the Lu family are the founding heroes. Besides, do you dare to say that regular employees are not good? ”

Of course, Li Guilan didn't dare to say it, so she continued to ridicule: "Okay, good, why don't you introduce it to your family Xiaoya?" ”

"That's my eldest sister's own son, how can I introduce it to Xiaoya." Zhang Guihua was anxious and told the truth.

Li Guilan has known her for more than 20 years, and she immediately guessed her careful thoughts.

"It turned out to be your own nephew. I understand, you must see that Su Tong looks good, and he is a secondary school student, and he will definitely be assigned a formal job after graduation, and I want to help your nephew take advantage of this. Heh, I'll just say how can you be so kind. ”

Zhang Guihua, who was seen through, blushed, and left in a huff after arguing with Li Guilan for a few words, and didn't look at the Wei family's liveliness.

Su Tong, who was dressed up early in the morning, and then listened to the whole arrangement arranged by his aunt, didn't know that the day of his engagement banquet made two friends of more than 20 years unhappy.

She focuses on a well-behaved one today, and the elders will stand wherever they want, and they will do whatever they want. After many years of workplace experience, she is well aware of a truth, listen more and talk less about what she is not good at, otherwise it is herself who will be tormented. However, even so, by the time the engagement banquet was over, she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist.

She looked at the other protagonist Lu Yicheng, in fact, it stands to reason that he should be more tired, driving from the city early in the morning, and entertaining relatives and friends during the whole wedding banquet, but there is no tiredness on his face.

When she was stunned, she didn't notice that Lu Yicheng walked to her side at some point.

"Tired?"

Su Tong came back to his senses and nodded.

However, before the two had a chance to say a few more words, a relative of the Lu family came over with Lu Min and stuffed it into Su Tong's arms, and muttered to Lu Min to change his name to 'Mom'.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were attracted, and they all looked at Su Tong and Lu Min.
