Chapter 470 Preparation for Engagement (1/3)
Two days later, Xu Shao really got engaged to Li Mingli, and the date was set on the twelfth of the first lunar month!
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was just making a fuss, but Xu Shao didn't expect Xu Shao to be so caring. After returning home, he would discuss the engagement matters.
This is actually nothing to discuss, after all, Li Mingye is a matchmaker, and this is his own sister, everything is logical.
This is the mid-1980s, and engagement is different from previous years. After all, everyone is richer and living conditions have improved.
It’s necessary for the two families to sit together and have a meal. The Xu family not only has to give a meeting gift, but also give everyone a red envelope. They also have to buy new clothes for Li Mingli. Of course, the most important thing is that engagement gifts are becoming popular now. Give the woman a gold ring.
The date has been set, and of course both families are happy.
Before the decent day of engagement, Xu Shao took Li Mingli to Nanping to buy a gold ring.
Li Mingli was embarrassed to go alone, so she asked Mei Xiaoran to accompany her, but she was rejected by Mei Xiaoran, "Auntie, it’s not that I don’t want to go with you, but I don’t understand this. Let me say, you should Let Si Yi go with you, she knows better than I do."
When Li Mingli thought about it, she really asked Li Mingye to accompany her to buy a ring, but since this way, Xiao Chengfei hasn't been seen, so he has to leave Xiao Chengfei at home and let Mei Xiaoran look after him.
Auntie’s engagement is a big event. Mei Xiaoran has to support it anyway. What is it to take care of Xiaocheng Fei
When Xu Shao drove the car and took Li Mingli to Nanping City, Mei Xiaoran led Cheng Fei at home.
Cheng Fei is three years old this year!
He was dark and fat, and his skin followed Li Mingye, but his facial features were the same as Cheng Bin, but he was a pretty little boy without his skin.
Although he was only three years old, he was taller than the average child of the same age, and he was a lively little guy.
As long as you can’t watch him for a while, then you dare to sit on the table and chair. Mei Xiaoran is seeing a headache. Mei Xiaolei’s voice comes from the gate: "Sister, I’m playing with my uncle Ouyang Xun, do you want to? Watching the battle?"
"I am going too!"
How boring to bring children at home, if you take Xiao Chengfei out, it will be easy to coax.
In this way, Mei Xiaoran took Xiao Chengfei to see Ouyang to find the three of them.
Playing basketball is still in the arts and crafts school.
Seeing Ouyang Xun and the three of them running on the court, he was in a daze as if he had returned to the previous few years, as if they were still teenagers.
I remember that when the three of them got together to play basketball, Mei Xiaolei was the shortest and thinnest, while Ouyang looked for the tallest.
But now, Mei Xiaolei has become the tallest among the three, Ouyang Xun is in the middle, and Li Hongwei is the bottom.
If Li Hongwei is at the bottom, he is a little wronged. In fact, he is still about the same size as Ouyang Xun.
At that time, everyone was still a teenager, but now they are all young, and they have embarked on a different path in life.
But, seeing the three of them talking and laughing together, it's pretty much the same as when they were in junior high school.
Xiao Chengfei didn’t know basketball, but when he saw Mei Xiaolei and the three playing so happily, he consciously ran over to pick up the ball. As long as he played the ball, it was picked up by him... Obviously it was the Chinese New Year. Ah, the weather is still very cold, Xiao Cheng Fei was startled to run sweating.
Mei Xiaoran tried to stop the little guy from picking up the ball several times, but Xiaocheng Fei was very stubborn, not listening to life and death!
"Cheng Fei, when you grow up, my uncle will teach you how to play basketball, okay?"
Xiaocheng Fei blinked his dark eyes, and replied with a milky voice, "Okay!"
His cute look really makes people laugh.
Ouyang Xun paused and said, "The three of us have rarely had the opportunity to get together to play in the past two years."
"Yeah, I used to be able to hang out together during holidays, but now it's busier than before."
As Li Hongwei said, he began to yearn for the past. “It’s better to go to school. You don’t have to worry so much at that time. It can be said to be carefree.”
"Yes, I haven't had this experience before, but I did have this experience this winter vacation."
Li Hongwei and Mei Xiaolei both knew that he was working-study, so they couldn't help asking him: "Is it hard to go to work?"
"It can't be said to be hard work, that is, after you enter the society, no one will treat you as a child, no one will tolerate you, and everything depends on your own efforts."
For Ouyang Xun, who is like a child of the sky, he has enough abilities, but the complicated interpersonal relationship that he will face in society is that he rarely accepts it before.
Touched... Now I’m just trying. If I wait until I graduate, I’ll get more people in touch, and it’s more complicated.
"Ouyang Xun, just get used to it slowly. With your clever mind, everything is not a problem."
When he first started a small business, Li Hongwei was also confused about this and that, and he discovered that in the adult world, you are not let you be because you are young, but treated as a rookie. If you are not strong, no one will sympathize with you and pity you, and they will only look down on you and bully you!
However, these also have to let Ouyang Xun grow up and experience it by himself.
The simplest one is still Mei Xiaolei. Even though he has become a college student, his environment is still relatively simple. He has no other expectations for the future. He just wants to spend the past few years of university peacefully. career.
Mei Xiaoran looked at the three of them who were about to or have already embarked on the society, and he was only emotional.
Xu Shao and the others drove back until four or five in the afternoon. Not only did they buy the ring this time, they also bought the clothes.
Li Mingye chose a very large gold ring for Li Mingli, with beautiful patterns engraved on it. It is much more beautiful than the gold ring with no patterns on the glossy surface worn by ordinary people, but there is one point. The ring is a little too big. Now, looking cumbersome, not so delicate.
Li Mingli was not very satisfied. After Xu Shao was gone, she began to complain about her fourth sister, "Let you help me choose a ring, you won't help me choose a good-looking one, you have to choose such a big one? It's not delicate and looks too stupid."
"Xiao Li, are you stupid? Since you are picking a gold ring, why not pick a big one? You don’t look good when you get such a small one? Others will think your wife’s family is stingy when they see it, and are not willing to buy you a big one. Yes, just take a small ring to cover you!"
"Then I don't like this style!"
"If you don't like it, let's change it later. At that time, you can turn a ring into a pair of earrings, or into a fine gold necklace. Isn't it all you have to do?"
When Li Mingli heard this, she felt that this also made sense, and she stopped speaking.
Li Mingye took the opportunity to shake out the new clothes I bought today, "Xiaoli, come, put on the clothes I bought today and show my mother, let her see how beautiful we are!"
