A few little girls in the village got together and chatted.
"My mother said that Shen Chi would be engaged soon."
"I didn't expect that Shen Chi would be settled so soon. My mother also said that it's hard for Shuanger to settle down. Shen Chi is very lucky. Generally, the better the conditions in the village, the earlier the decision is made."
Before that, some people were guessing that Shen Chi had a bad reputation, and no one would want to. Maybe, like Chen Xiaomi, he would wait until very late to make up his mind and become an old couple who couldn't get married.
Lu Tong Long good-looking, it has long been someone to propose, but Tang's vision is too high, so only a year after year to drag down.
Zhang Ya stuffy way: "this still say not good, perhaps is to make a mistake."
Ma Shi, Zhang Ya's mother, went to talk to Lu Lin about marriage before. As a result, she was rejected. She heard that Shen Chi was the one Lu Lin decided to marry. She was almost angry.
There was a rumor in the village that Shen Chi was shameless and pasted Chen Xiaocai upside down, but no one thought that Chen Xiaomi would really decide Shen Chi for Chen Xiaocai. Now many people feel that stealing chicken can't eat rice.
"Matchmaker Wang said that. I don't think it's wrong." A little girl said.
"But, my mother said, matchmaker Wang is full of lies. She can live even if she dies." A little fat way, little fat finish, seems to realize that he said what should not say, some timid covered his mouth.
Lu family.
Tang's stuffy way: "what is Chen Xiaomi thinking, so early for Chen Xiaocai to give people down, also don't know to choose more, casually give him a pair of children, that is, Chen Xiaocai is not sensible now, can agree, when Chen Xiaocai grows up in the future, it's time to blame Chen Xiaomi, how can marriage be a child's play."
Lin Xiuer smiles, a little more sarcastic to Tang Shi in her heart.
Tang Shi is to pick carefully, however, pick over, also didn't find what good.
Lu Chengyu finds a useless young lady, and Lu Tong finds a nerd with an oil bottle to get married. Not long ago, Lu Tong has come back several times because of quarrels with her husband and mother-in-law. Every time she comes back empty handed to eat, Tang doesn't feel ashamed. She still feels ashamed.
"It's not that there are so many people in the village who are making a fuss, which turns the fake into the real. "Lin Xiuer said sarcastically. "I don't know how many betrothal gifts Chen Xiaomi will give his brother."
Before Lu Chengyu got married, it was a luxury. People in the village thought Chen Xiaomi was rich, so they were very curious about how many betrothal gifts Chen Xiaomi would give.
Tang Shi narrowed his eyes and said: "the people in this village are really right. Shen Chi has a lot of eyes."
Tang was a little depressed when he thought of selling the land to grandma Shen.
Tang did not expect that the Shen family and Chen Xiaocai had formed a family. In a sense, Lu Lin had the land of the Lu family.
After a few days, Chen Xiaomi, Lu Lin and matchmaker Wang rented another donkey cart and went to the Shen family.
Lu Lin's family had a donkey cart, but in order to be respectable, Lu Lin rented another one.
Two donkey carts passed through the village, attracting many people to watch the excitement.
Chen Xiaomi appeared in front of the villagers with a big stomach, which attracted many people to mutter.
There was a rumor in the village that Chen Xiaomi could not be born, but he was beaten in the face.
Chen Xiaomi found that many people in the village were staring at his stomach and could not help but curl his mouth.
Chen Xiaomi thinks that people in the village regard him as a man. It's amazing to see that he has a doll.
Chen Xiaocai's wedding gifts include rice noodles, dishes, cloth, clothes and shoes. The cloth is a very good cotton cloth, which is far from the price of silk. However, the most attractive thing is the two silver bracelets. Both bracelets weigh nearly two liang of silver, and all the things add up to about five liang of silver.
This kind of engagement ceremony is very good in the countryside. Some poor families have no bracelets, just some rice, flour, grain and oil, cloth and baskets.
The engagement gift Chen Xiaomi sent is already very respectable, but it is not too extraordinary, reaching an amazing level.
Some people think that Chen Xiaomi is stingy. After making so much money, he is still humble. Originally, some villagers wanted to marry their daughter to Chen Xiaocai with the idea of making a big hole for Chen Xiaomi.
After sending the engagement gift, Lu Lin and others went back.
After the two sides agreed to complete the engagement, Shen grandma and Shen Chi went back to work in the town.
"Shen Chi is so lucky that he has made a decision so early."
In the evening, Mrs. Shen's family all came to join in the fun
"this bracelet has a lot of weight. It's two as soon as you give it away. Chen Xiaomi really made money."
"Ah Chi, you are so lucky!"
Shen Chi was surrounded by people, and his face was slightly red. Many people said good things, but there were exceptions.
"I heard that Lu Lin bought a bear in the town before, but it cost 20 Liang. Such a calculation, such a little deposit, is nothing for Chen Xiaomi."What he said was Zheng Shi, who was the first one to target Chen Xiaocai. Zheng Shi didn't expect that he spread the story about Shen Chi and Chen Xiaocai in a random way. He actually said it to the right. In his private heart, he felt that he might have helped Chen Xiaomi, and he was very depressed.
Grandma Shen smiles. Zheng's remark is obviously to say that Chen Xiaomi doesn't take her grandson seriously, neither does grandma Shen. It's just an engagement. Chen Xiaomi is very respectable to spend so much money.
Lu Linhua also knows about buying bear for 20 Liang. However, it's Xiong. Lin's drugstore only offered eight Liang silver to buy bear gall. Later, it seems that it took it to Liuzhen to sell it. Liuzhen's drugstore offered a generous price and offered 12 Liang.
Bearskin is also worth a lot of money, and it doesn't add up much.
"Quite a lot, too." Shen said.
Seeing that Mrs. Shen was smiling, Mrs. Zheng didn't feel dejected because of her words. She said in a somewhat stuffy way: "Shen Chi, I asked matchmaker Wang. The reason why Chen Xiaomi decided you, don't work for others.
Shen Chi turned his lips and said to himself: he is not a big lady. How can he not work? It's not the same where he works.
Chen Xiaomi taught him arithmetic. He should hope that he can watch the shop. It's better to watch the shop than to dig in the ground.
"I can work." Shen chidao.
"Ah Chi, I didn't expect that you are so capable. There are not many good men. When you meet good people, you should hold on tight. If you don't let my daughter go, you won't have your ability." Zheng's words, armed with a stick, make Shen Chi some down.
"Your daughter just likes to care too much. When a young man picks up her handkerchief, she pesters people to compensate. It's a pity." Zheng doesn't want to be shameful. Grandma Shen doesn't want to give her face. What do you mean, grandma Shen
Shen a PO Piao Zheng's one eye, way: "casually say, how still angry."
Zheng Shi saw a few people on the scene and knew to say good words and please Mrs. Shen. She was angry and left.
"Grandma Shen, if you are bothered, she is sad."
Mrs. Shen laughed and said, "I have nothing to be angry about."
When Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi are settled, the female workers in the village will know that Shen Chi will be a member of the Chen family in the future.
Now many people in Chen's village want to sell vegetables to Chen and his wife, but they want to make a secret.
Although Mrs. Shen thinks that Zheng's mind is too poisonous, and her grandson is so small that it will damage his reputation and turn bad things into good things. Mrs. Shen doesn't want to argue with Zheng, but she didn't expect that Zheng would come to give her eyedrops.
There were many guests coming and going. It was very late that Mrs. Shen sent all the guests away.
In addition to the bracelet, Chen Xiaocai sent the engagement gift to Shen Chi in the house.
After all the people were sent away, the grandparents and grandchildren had a chance to sort out the engagement gifts.
"Grandma, look at this."
"What?" Seeing what Shen Chi had brought out, grandma Shen was immediately frightened.
"Why, how is this thing?" Mrs. Shen took two land deeds, and her fingers trembled slightly.
Chen Xiaomi's dowry is not out of the ordinary. Many people talk to Mrs. Shen about the fact that Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin have made so much money, but they still don't take his grandson seriously.
Mrs. Shen felt that those people were just determined by their grandson's marriage, so she was sour.
Chen Xiaomi has a lot of silver, which is Chen Xiaomi's own business. Chen Xiaomi has given enough, and most people in the village don't get married so much.
"Grandma, is this the title deed?" Shen chidao.
Shen a nodded, "it's a real lease." Two deeds of my own house.
Mrs. Shen bought two mu of land from the Lu family for Lu Lin, and then agreed to give it to Lu Lin. however, Lu Lin and Mrs. Shen said that they would transfer the land after they had received the crops because Lu Lin had already planted the crops in the land. As a result, the two mu of land deed is now in the box.
Since Chen Xiaomi has sent the land lease, the two mu land lease should also be used as an engagement gift.
Mrs. Shen clenched her teeth. He thought the two bracelets were big heads. As a result, the title deed should be big heads.
These two deeds are worth more than ten taels of silver at least. It seems that the two silver bracelets are nothing compared with each other.
"Where did you find it?" Mrs. Shen asked.
"In the case of the bracelet, there is a interlayer in the case, and the title deed is there." Shen chidao.
Mrs. Shen said nervously, "what's the matter? How can we put the deed there casually? If we don't find it, how can we? It's not the place where Chen Xiaomi forgot the deed."
Shen Chi hesitated for a moment and said, "in fact, Xiaocai told me."
Mrs. Shen took a look at her grandson and said, "what's the point
Shen Chi nodded and said, "Xiaocai said that this box is made to order by a special person. It's very expensive. Let me not lose it." Mrs. Shen had a good idea. Chen Xiaocai must have known that there was a title deed in the box, so she told her grandson.It's true that Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin work well. It's useless to be in the limelight. It's no fun for Lu Chengyu to marry a young lady.
"Well, grandson, you are blessed." Mrs. Shen is in a good mood. Chen Xiaomi's hand is two acres. She must be very satisfied with her grandson.
