Chapter 507: Li Hongwei's Engagement (1/3)
It was June 16 in a blink of an eye. That morning, Li Meifeng's family rushed from Yuanping County to Kangping County.
When I arrived at Li's house, it was only ten o'clock in the morning.
The Li family waited at the door early in the morning and saw Li Meifeng's family coming, and everyone hurried to greet them.
"Xiaofeng is here!"
With sharp eyes, Li Hongwei screamed when he saw it, and ran out to greet him nervously. As a result, he ran too fast and almost fell into the mud.
"Xiaowei, slow down."
It was also the first time that Li Mingyun saw his little brother so gaffe, and quickly stepped forward to support him.
This action of Li Hongwei fell into the eyes of Li Meifeng's family.
Li Meifeng tilted her head slightly and pulled Aunt Li and smiled.
"Xiaowei, why are you panicking, Xiaofeng can't run."
"Aunt... No... Aunt... You can count as aunt." Li Hongwei used to be called Auntie Li, and now he is going to be engaged to Li Meifeng. He must be degraded. You can no longer be called Auntie, you can only follow Li Meifeng to call auntie.
Grandma Li also walked over and shook hands with Li Meifeng's mother: "In-law, here comes."
With a sound of in-laws, the distance between the two families was immediately shortened.
Li Meifeng's mother also blushed with excitement. She is also an honest farmer, and she will not be able to say anything if she is going to encounter a big scene.
In comparison, the Li family is in business after all, and the scenes are more eloquent than Li's mother, but the Li family is also very real in their bones. Of course, there must be the politeness of receiving in-laws, but this time it’s for Li Hongwei’s engagement. I can’t say anything that’s humbling. For the future of the two children, the two families are really sitting there. Together, it must be straight to the subject.
Li Mingyun pointed to the newly built building in her family’s family, and introduced to Aunt Li and Li’s mother: “This house was built this spring. The money to build the house was also earned by Xiaowei from doing business in the past few years. Xiaowei has since graduated from high school. After that, I learned to do a small business. Although my family is not rich and wealthy, our family is not strong, but our family is still diligent and capable. When Xiaofeng marries in our house in the future, we will not wrong her."
In fact, in terms of age, Grandpa Li and Grandma Li are about the same age as Aunt Li, and Li Mingyun is also the same age as Li Meifeng’s parents.
Ji is generally old, but because Li Hongwei wants to be engaged to Li Meifeng, he is a generation lower than Li Meifeng’s parents.
"Well, your building is really well built, it's still a blue brick building!"
The three-storey small western-style building cannot be built even in the villages of the village chief’s secretary’s house, but Li Hongwei’s house was stupefied whether it was a three-storey small western-style building built in the county town, or a facade house facing the street.
Ren Li's mother thought, it is estimated that the house of Aunt Li's house can be combined with the house of Li's house.
Father Li saw that the daughter-in-law had such a solid family background, and he was quite satisfied... Although Li Meifeng didn’t find a college student, she could be regarded as a rich family no matter where she was. The in-laws are not at a loss.
Mother Li saw that the sisters of the Li family were both generous and honest, and she was relieved of her anxiety.
After all, the daughter-in-law’s family is far-reaching. If you meet a good family, you won’t be bullied, and if you meet a bad family, you won’t be bullied to death!
"Aunt Li, the conditions of our family are just average, and it's only been better in the past two years. The family is also planting the ground."
Li Mingyun didn’t want to put too much pressure on Li Meifeng’s family and made them feel that their own conditions were too good to be able to afford. Besides, what she said was the truth. In the past few years, everyone was poor, which means that everyone has had a good life in the past two years. .
Although Aunt Li was a matchmaker, she was also the oldest elder in Li Meifeng's family present. She looked at the house from the front courtyard and backyard of the Li family, and looked at Li Hongwei's living room upstairs.
Li Mingyue followed behind and said: "Xiaowei now lives on the third floor, and he also has a twin girl who lives on the second floor. When his lady gets married, let Xiaofeng live on the second and third floors... It’s not new enough, paint it again."
"It seems that your family's plan is very thoughtful."
Aunt Li is really satisfied at the moment. Although there are many sisters in Li Hongwei's family, she basically has to go to her in-law's house now. Li Hongwei is still the youngest in the family, so the whole family must be held in the palm of her hand.
Everyone let Li Meifeng's family into the hall, and after a few casual words, Li Hongwei shouted to the restaurant.
Of course, the jeep is going to pull Li Meifeng’s family. There is an extra place to sit on Grandma Li, and the rest of Li’s family will ride bicycles.
past.
Mother Li was really flattered on this trip. It was shocking to see Li Hongwei's three-story small mansion, and she had to be taken by Li Hongwei to a table in a state-owned restaurant in a car.
Usually there are people who make appointments at their farm, and at most they set a table at home. No one has the luxury of going to a restaurant to book a table.
However, Aunt Li, who is used to seeing big scenes, is very calm. She wants to see how much Li Hongwei's family really values her Xiaofeng. Although the current conditions of Xiaofeng's house are not good, Xiaofeng is the only college student who came out of their Lijiazhuang, and that is the golden phoenix flying out of the ravine. It is also worthwhile for Li Hongwei's family to make an appointment with such a specification!
After arriving at the restaurant, the two family members said some more polite words and began to eat food and drink.
Halfway through the meal, Li Mingyun winked at Li Hongwei. Li Hongwei went up with the wine glass, and shouted at Li Meifeng’s mother instead, “Mom, Xiaofeng will marry me in the future. I will definitely not let her suffer. I will. Treat her well."
With this shout, Mother Li's tears fell, and she quickly took the wine glass and told Li Hongwei, "We are the elders and hope that you will treat Xiaofeng well, and don't force others."
Aunt Li cleared her throat: "What a joyous event, why are you crying? Everyone can see how sincere Xiaowei is to Xiaofeng. When the two children get married in the future, they will definitely have a good life."
The engagement banquet was going on in a friendly and festive manner, and the two families were real, and the engagement became relatively simple.
At the end of the banquet, Li Mingyun handed a newly bought leather bag to Li Meifeng, and also passed the two sets of clothes he bought for Li Meifeng, "This is a little bit of our family's heart, and they are all prepared for Xiaofeng."
There is a gift money for the engagement in the purse, as well as a red envelope for the meeting.
Although it was only a few hundred yuan, in the mid-1980s, it was considered very rich.
Of course, this is enough to represent the sincerity of Li Hongwei's family.
"Since your family values my Xiaofeng so much, then we don't have to say anything, we will count on our two children to live a good life in the future."
After the banquet from the restaurant, Li Meifeng's family went to Li Hongwei's home to sit for a while and talked for a while. Seeing that it was not early, Li Hongwei drove them to the edge of the highway and took a bus back to Yuanping County.
