Chapter 503: Discussing the Major Events of Engagement (1/3)
When Li Hongwei drove to Lijiazhuang where Li Meifeng's house was located, the whole village was a sensation.
The four-wheeled jeep, the villagers rarely see a few all year round, even the jeep that the brigade secretary can't get on, Li Hongwei actually drove, and came to Li Meifeng's house to discuss the important matter of the engagement.
Li's father and Li's mother made preparations at home early in the morning. Of course, there is also Aunt Li!
As a matchmaker, Aunt Li has not returned to Lijiazhuang for many years. Master Zhuang is also very excited when she comes back. As the daughter of Lijiazhuang, the difference between Aunt Li and everyone is that she married to the provincial capital... When she was young, Aunt Li was pretty, tall, white, with big eyes and small mouth. She was praised by all the villages for her good looks. The husband's family was also well found, so he married directly to the provincial capital.
At that time, Aunt Li could be said to be the best married in Lijiazhuang. Everyone said that she had a good fate. As a result, Aunt Li died of her husband within a few years of her marriage. She worked so hard to pull her son up and his son was young and light. No, I didn’t even have a descendant... Afterwards, no one praised Aunt Li’s fate, and someone even scolded her for being a queen... Aunt Li was so proud and arrogant, of course, he was not used to these gossips. , Simply won't go back to her parents' house. Although Aunt Li has never returned to Lijiazhuang in these years, she has been in contact with Li Meifeng's family.
At the time when life in Li Meifeng’s family was the most difficult, it was Aunt Li and the others who sent money and food stamps to barely make ends meet.
Now, for Li Meifeng's engagement, Aunt Li has returned to the village, and Li's father and Li's mother are a little flattered.
"Auntie, you are here too."
When I saw Aunt Li, Li Hongwei was still a little surprised. He quickly introduced, "This is Li Meifeng's aunt. She is very nice. Ranran and I rented her shop in the provincial capital and took special care of us."
As soon as Grandma Li and Li Mingyun heard this, they stepped forward to greet Grandma Li, "These two children really trouble you in the provincial capital."
Aunt Li politely chatted with Li Hongwei's family and let all the guests into the house.
Li Meifeng's house is still an adobe house, and the courtyard wall is also surrounded by adobe. There is no courtyard door, and it faces a large open field with a few mulberry trees planted at the door.
Villagers like to gather here
Small talk, pass the time, in the summer, it is cool under the mulberry tree, and it is the most suitable escape from the heat!
But today, everyone is more concerned about the jeep parked in front of Li's house, and the future son-in-law who is going to be engaged with Li Meifeng. I heard that Li Meifeng’s marriage partner Li Hongwei’s family was in Kangping County, and he was still doing a clothing business in the provincial capital... Li Meifeng’s family was originally so poor, and suddenly it was going to climb Gaozhi, and the villagers were a little jealous.
Just now, Li Hongwei's two sisters also successfully attracted the attention of the villagers.
Although the eldest sister Li Mingyun is in her forties, she is dressed very vigorously. She is tall and has white skin. She doesn't look like a forty-year-old person at all, but looks like she is in her early thirties. More fashionable, wearing a skirt, although the skin is darker, but after all, young and more foreign.
This family is not decent at first sight, even if they work in those public units in the county seat, they are not as foreign as their sisters!
Li Meifeng's parents were also so beautiful. When I saw that the two sisters of Li Hongwei's family were so beautiful and so foreign, the original inferiority complex felt a little shorter, and even the words were uncomfortable.
Aunt Li said very generously. On Li Meifeng’s terms, she was afraid that she would stay in the provincial capital to work. When we found Li Hongwei, a high school student, although he lost a little bit, he was young. If a young man is willing, they will not object to these elders!
Then, he revealed his identity as a matchmaker and asked Li's father and Li's mother to make a request. After all, there are many rules in the countryside... Although Li Meifeng's family doesn't fight for these gifts, but in the countryside, this is face-saving. We laughed... As a matchmaker, she naturally wanted to handle things satisfactorily, to make both parties happy and the children happier.
Aunt Li's remarks were said to the hearts of both parties. Grandpa Li said on the spot that Li Meifeng's family had the final say, anyway, as long as it was the condition proposed by the woman, he would just follow it.
Of course, Li Meifeng's parents would not ask too much. Their family was not a girl, they wanted a lot of things, and they were afraid of someone poking their backs at the back.
Seeing the attitude of both parties, Aunt Li, the matchmaker, decided on the engagement, and finally knocked
The engagement is scheduled for June 16.
Aunt Li had also considered booking this day so close. She finally went back to her family's house. She definitely wanted to stay for a few days, so she couldn't just toss about it. But because she lived for too long, she would not be used to it, so she gave Li Hongwei's family a week to prepare. After Li Meifeng and Li Hongwei were engaged, she returned to the provincial capital.
This time the family members of both sides met, and the discussions were very pleasant, and everything that should be finalized was also finalized.
Li Hongwei secretly glanced at Li Meifeng, and saw that she had been shyly lowering her head without saying a word. He couldn't help but laugh and laugh again. Such Li Meifeng is really rare.
Before leaving, Li Hongwei quietly said to Li Meifeng, "We will get married until next week. Next week, I will wait for you at home."
"Got it."
Li Meifeng withdrew her hand awkwardly, embarrassed ashamed.
In the afternoon, after discussing the engagement matters, Li Hongwei and his family drove back.
"Xiaowei's family is a bit poor."
After Li Mingye got in the car, he expressed his opinion, "The good thing is to stay far away, and I am not afraid that they often come to the door."
"Sister Si, what are you talking about? They will all become a family in the future. Who cares about that much?"
Li Hongwei doesn’t like to listen to these words. He married Li Meifeng, not their family. Besides, Li Meifeng is not without brothers. It is enough to do his best. It’s not his turn to take care of the elderly... Let’s talk about it. Although the conditions of Li Meifeng's family are not so good now, in the future, if Li Meifeng's younger siblings are admitted to school, life in Li's family will get better and better. Even if they were home, it was not a well-known poor house in North Street before, but after the reform and opening up, several older sisters can do it. Everyone’s life is prosperous, and now they are rich in North Street. .
"Xiaowei, you are really true. I just said it casually. You have to protect it like this before you get married. After you get married, I don't know how you will protect it!"
Li Mingyun smiled: "Xiaowei's daughter-in-law is also right. I found a college student's daughter-in-law. He must be too late."
The Li family laughed, making Li Hongwei blush, "I am about to get married and talk about a wife. You are not allowed to laugh at me in the future."
