Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

The next day, early in the morning. Before dawn,

He Daqing and Sha Zhu had already gotten up early and started to work as usual.

One boiled tea leaves, and the other made buns with bread.

But today, Sha Zhu's mind was obviously not on the buns. He turned his head to look at He Daqing from time to time, with a look of hesitation on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but was embarrassed to say it.

And He Daqing, like nothing happened, calmly knocked the eggs with a small spoon to prepare for the tea eggs to be put into the pot.

After wrapping the big meat buns to be sold today.

Sha Zhu couldn't help it anymore and asked He Daqing:"Dad, what time are we going to Qinjiazhuang today?"

That's right, it's Qinjiazhuang.

Don't blame Sha Zhu for being impatient.

Because today is a big day for Sha Zhu, it's the day he and Qin Huairu get engaged.

In the countryside, as long as the young couple get engaged and have a banquet, it's almost equivalent to getting married and being able to live together.

That is, get married first and then get the marriage certificate.

Unfortunately, this thing is definitely not possible in the city, especially in this four-nine city.

So Sha Zhu's engagement is just an engagement, not a marriage.

But even so, it is still a great event in Sha Zhu's life, which means that he has a fiancée and is no longer a single dog.

If the original Sha Zhu knew about this, he would be envious and jealous to death.

"It's only six in the morning, and it's not even daybreak yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"

He Daqing glanced at his silly son and said speechlessly,"Wait until the business is over in the morning, and you've sold all your buns, and you can also pack the cooked tea eggs into a bucket and send them to the restaurant. It won't be too late to go then.""

"After all, although the journey from Daqianmen to Qinjiazhuang is a little farther than from Nanluoguxiang, it is only about an hour's journey, and it will be in time after the business is over in the morning."When

Shazhu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said,"Hey, I was thinking that I have to go to Chongwenmen in advance to pick up my second uncle and his family, and go to Siheyuan to pick up my third aunt, for fear that I will not have enough time."

Engagement is not a trivial matter.

In addition to the matchmaker, several elders from the man's side must also go.

So in addition to the third aunt, He Daqing also invited Guan Shan and his son to show respect for the Qin family.

In fact, only Chen Xueru has not entered the family yet, otherwise she, as a stepmother, would definitely participate.

He Daqing heard what his silly son said, and said speechlessly,"You don't need to pick up your uncle and cousin. I have already talked to your cousin and asked him to bring your uncle over early. They can have breakfast in our bun shop, and then we can discuss the engagement process."

"When we go to Qinjiazhuang, we will just pass by the courtyard, so we can just ask the third aunt."

He Daqing didn't know much about the engagement.

Fortunately, he handed it over to his cheap second uncle Guan Shan to take care of it.

After all, He Daqing didn't know much about the old customs in the old city. If he made a mistake, he might be laughed at.

So He Daqing only prepared the engagement gifts and betrothal gifts for the woman, plus some red envelopes, candies and the like.

The gifts mainly include cigarettes, alcohol, candies, snacks, chickens and fish. The betrothal gift is 66 yuan.

There are no other things like gold and silver jewelry.

It is a far cry from what He Daqing did when he went to Chen Xueru's house to propose marriage.

Of course, it's not that He Daqing looks down on the Qin family, but because the things he used to propose marriage to Chen Xueru's house were all prepared by Guan Shan. If he was asked to prepare them himself, it would definitely not be possible. There won't be so many.

And in this era, the betrothal gifts for ordinary families are only a dozen or twenty yuan.

He Daqing took out sixty-six, which is already a very high price.

If it is more, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for both the old Qin family and He Daqing's family. People may become jealous and report maliciously.

In this regard, the situation of the old Qin family and Chen Xueru's family is different.

So He Daqing can only lower the standard of the betrothal gift, and prepare to compensate Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu after they get the marriage certificate.

After all, He Daqing is really not short of the one thousand eight hundred yuan now.

There is no need to make the family restless because of this matter.

Hearing his father's words, Sha Zhu was completely relieved and began to steam buns with peace of mind.

He was afraid that He Daqing would be busy selling buns and tea eggs and forget about his own affairs.

…………

The business of the steamed buns shop was as hot as usual.

When the steamed buns and tea eggs in the morning were sold out, it was almost eight o'clock.

Guan Zishan and his son came over at around seven o'clock in the morning, not long after the steamed buns shop opened, and helped sell steamed buns and tea eggs for a while.

After they were done, everyone had a meal together, discussed the engagement process, and then picked up some things before setting off. There were three bicycles in total.

Two of them were ridden by Guan Zishan and his son to show off for He Daqing and his son.

The remaining one belonged to Sha Zhu.

Of the three bicycles, Guan Ziqing rode one, carrying Guan Zishan.

He Daqing rode one, carrying Xiao Yushui, who had taken a special leave to attend his eldest brother's engagement banquet.

The last one was ridden by Sha Zhu, who needed to carry the matchmaker, Aunt San.

The baskets of each bicycle were filled with gifts for the woman's family, and the show was definitely not small.

As soon as the three bicycles entered the entrance of Qinjiazhuang Village, they attracted the attention of villagers working in the fields on the roadside.

"Whose visitor is this?"

"Hey, it should be the Qin family. I heard that their daughter is getting engaged today. The man she is from the city has a rich family. Now it seems that this is true."

"Girl from Old Qin's family, what are you talking about? Is it the same as that girl Huairu?"

"That's right, it's that girl Huairu. I heard that his partner is a worker in the city, but because they are not old enough, they are engaged first and will get married when they are old enough."

"Huairu has found a good family. She will be blessed in the future.……"

"…………"

Qinjiazhuang is not big, and almost everyone in the village has the surname Qin, so everyone knows what happens in each family. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Not to mention, Qin Shouyi's family is quite prestigious in Qinjiazhuang.

The daughter of the Qin family is going to marry in the city.

This matter has long been spread in the village.

So when the people in Qinjiazhuang saw He Daqing and the others, they almost knew what was going on, and they couldn't help but discuss it.

"Brother-in-law is here!"[]

"Brother-in-law is here!"

"Go back and tell uncle and them"

"Brother-in-law, we want to eat wedding candy……"

"……"

He Daqing and his friends rode their bikes, and before they reached the alley of the old Qin family, they saw several children from the Qin family happily running over and surrounding Sha Zhu to ask for wedding candy.

Leading the way were Qin Huairu's younger brother Qin Weiguo and younger sister Qin Shuanglian, followed by their cousin Qin Jingru, cousin Qin Youjun and other children.

"Hey, we have them all, we have them all, don't push."

When Sha Zhu heard Qin Huairu's brothers and sisters calling him brother-in-law, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

He grabbed a handful of fruit candies from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, asking them to divide them among themselves. He was so generous that his mouth was almost crooked with laughter. Before Sha Zhu finished distributing the wedding candies, the children who went to report the news ran back and joined the candy distribution team.

Behind him, there was a group of adults.

These people were Qin Huairu's uncles, elders, cousins, etc. There were more than a dozen of them, and the leader was Qin Huairu's father Qin Shouyi. When

Qin Shouyi saw He Daqing and others, he was so enthusiastic that he shouted from a distance:"The in-laws are here."

He Daqing saw Qin Shouyi and others and hurried to greet them. While handing out cigarettes for people, he smiled and said,"We were delayed on the road and kept the in-laws waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's still early, let's go inside and have some tea first"

"Come smoke, smoke……"

"……"

It must be said that the Qin family is really prosperous. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that there were at least 40 men, women, old and young.

Being stared at by so many people, He Daqing was not afraid at all. He asked Sha Zhu to start distributing wedding candies and cigarettes. Women and children were given candies, and men were given cigarettes.

It was not that He Daqing and Guan Yushan were too proud of their status and were unwilling to personally distribute candies.

It was just the custom. At this time, Sha Zhu had to show his

"Come in and have a rest and some tea. You must be tired on the way!" When Sha Zhu's mother-in-law, Qin's mother, saw He Daqing and the others, she hurriedly greeted them.

"Fortunately, fortunately, my mother-in-law doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

He Daqing agreed with a smile.

As he was talking, they were escorted into the house by Qin Huairu's elders. The younger generations of the Qin family also put the gift boxes and other things they brought on the eight-immortal table in the main hall, filling it up.

He Daqing glanced at the crowd gathered at the door, knowing that this was the time to give his (Wang Zhao's) He family and the Qin family face.

"I came here in a hurry and have limited time, so I just brought some things with me. I hope you don't mind."

While speaking, He Daqing opened all the bags he brought.

A table full of cigarettes, alcohol, tea, pork, fruit, candied fruit, cakes, candies, malted milk, etc. appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

"This is too much!"

Everyone gasped and was shocked when they saw the things on the table.

In particular, the things He Daqing brought were all good things, not cheap goods.

Tea, cakes, fruits, candied fruits, candies, etc. Even if you don’t know the price, you can tell that they are not cheap just by looking at the packaging.

Not to mention that among these things, there are also two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, two bottles of Xifeng wine, a twenty or thirty kilograms of pork butt, and two cans of malted milk. These things alone cost more than forty or fifty yuan.

If all the things are added together, it would probably be sixty or seventy.

With so many things on the table, it was absolutely shocking to these relatives of the Qin family.

While everyone was still in shock, He Daqing took out sixty-six yuan wrapped in red paper from his pocket, handed it to Qin Shouyi, and said,"My dear relatives, my Zhuzi is very satisfied with Huairu and wants to marry her as his wife and live a happy life."

"This is sixty-six yuan of betrothal gifts. If the in-laws feel that it is too little, we can discuss it again. I hope the in-laws can agree to it.��"
