"My mother wanted us to go back early because we still have some local wedding customs. My mother meant that we should follow the local customs. They still hope that we can do it according to the local customs. Years ago, after we went back, there was a It’s a ceremony to give betrothal gifts when getting engaged. I can’t explain the specifics. It means that our relatives from our own family are at home, and then you give the betrothal gift money to my parents, and they treat it as if you are here to propose marriage, and they accept your betrothal gift. Even if we agree to this marriage. Then during the New Year, after the New Year, we need to go to the homes of relatives and elders one by one to pay New Year greetings and give gifts. This seems to be the same everywhere. The main reason is that I haven’t been back for many years, and you have never been there either. However, they have all heard that I seem to be married, but they have never met my husband. These elders have some opinions on me. My mother means that we must have what we have in mind this time. That's enough. I have to warm the hearts of the elders in the family, so I have to visit all the relatives' houses. The wedding will be held on the eighth day of the first lunar month. My mom and dad are already organizing invitations and hotels today, but they haven't been decided yet. What they want is for me to ask you for your opinion. If you agree, they are ready to make a decision. If you have any different opinions, we will communicate again. What do you mean?" Wang Yaxin said slowly, looking forward to it. She looked at Fang Zhiqiang with some nervousness. She was really afraid that Fang Zhiqiang would have any different opinions.
Fang Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, feeling that things were indeed a bit troublesome and would take too much time. But if you want to marry a wife, of course you have to respect the wishes of the mother-in-law, and you have to agree no matter how troublesome it is. Fang Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Okay, no problem, you just have to work hard for your parents. By the way, do you know that in your local area What is the approximate standard for the amount of this betrothal gift?”
“I really don’t know this. I left college when I was in college, and rarely went home after that. What kind of rules are there in my home? I don’t understand, but no matter how much it is, whether it’s more or less, let’s take more. When the time comes, you can give it to my parents, and relatives and friends will look at it. You have face, and my parents also have face. My parents are like this. Meaning. Anyway, it’s just a procedure. When people leave, they will give all the money to us. It doesn’t matter whether we give it or not, it’s just me as a daughter. It feels weird to say this. I’m slapping my parents on this. Money idea." Wang Yaxin laughed as she spoke. It was obvious that she was very happy to go home and get married with Fang Zhiqiang.
"You...you should ask your parents. What is your mother's standard for this gift money? We must have a rough amount in mind," Fang Zhiqiang thought. Thinking about it.
"Well, okay, I'll ask tomorrow. My mother calls me once a day and talks for half an hour at a time." Wang Yaxin drew circles on Fang Zhiqiang's chest with her hand and leaned on Fang Zhiqiang's chest. , and then said: "Zhiqiang, can I tell you some of my ideas and arrangements?"
"Well, you say."
“Let’s finish the wedding there on the eighth day of the lunar month, and then go directly from my house to your house on the ninth day of the lunar month. Since it’s a real marriage, no matter whether your dad wants to recognize you or not, and what’s the relationship with you, We always have to see your dad, tell him about our marriage, and ask for his consent. We have to respect your dad, right? After getting your dad's consent, we will go back to Shanghai to apply for a marriage certificate. I’ve calculated that it’s almost the end of the Lantern Festival. Since you haven’t been back for so long, you’ll have to stay at home with your dad for a few more days. I’m already thinking of ways to hand over the work. I will definitely not be able to work before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. You What do you mean?" Wang Yaxin asked.
Fang Zhiqiang looked at Wang Yaxin with some surprise, and after a long time he said movedly: "Thank you Yaxin, thank you for respecting my father so much. Although my father looks down on my son, I think, He will like you very much. He is actually a sharp-tongued person with a bit of a stubborn temper, but as long as you follow him, he is actually very easy to talk to."
"Fool, it's natural for me to respect your dad. , we are all getting married. Your dad is my dad and my father-in-law. How can you disrespect your father-in-law? Are there other elders in your family? If your dad agrees to our matter, do we also have to Want to go for a walk?”
“Well, sure, I don’t have many relatives in my family, just one uncle and two aunts.” Fang Zhiqiang nodded.
“Then when the time comes to buy gifts for gifts, let’s buy them together. I added these three gifts to the gifts and asked my dad to wholesale them at my house. He We are familiar with each other, so it will be more convenient to buy. If you don’t have any objections, then I will arrange it like this?” "Fang Zhiqiang felt a little guilty.
"I haven't been able to help you at all. In fact, if we want to get married, we should first go to your home to visit your father and ask for your father's opinion, but now it's obviously too late. Moreover, even if I call your dad to tell you about this, your dad won't answer your call. I have no choice but to go back to my house first, hold the wedding and then go back to ask for your dad's opinion. I just hope that you After dad finds out, he won't think we disrespect him." Wang Yaxin was a little worried.
"Don't worry, my dad is actually a very easy-to-talk old man. He will never do it. By the way, I may not be able to handle this matter quickly. I promised Wang Xia to help Sammy International When it comes to planning for the Spring Festival, although I am only responsible for helping her complete the planning, and I have never said that I will give her on-site command, but even if it is planning, I think that once all the preliminary matters are taken care of, I will be able to get results in the first few years of the New Year. Damn it, plus the business at my vegetable stall is at its best a few days before the Chinese New Year. I think I might go back a little later, but I will definitely go back the day before the Chinese New Year. Do you think I can let your dad do it? Mom asked for marriage, no, it was an engagement.The ceremony is scheduled for the day before the New Year? "Fang Zhiqiang silently calculated in his mind, and then said.
"Okay. I told my parents. "Wang Yaxin nodded.
"In addition..."
The young couple, who were not yet a couple, had been lying on the bed, hugging each other and discussing their wedding. , they talked very late, with happy smiles on their faces. Yes, is there anything in the world that makes people happier than marrying the one they love and having a wedding?
