Chapter 18 Proposing Marriage at Qin Family Village
Wang Feng encountered many elderly people from Qinjiazhuang while cycling along the way, and he greeted them with a smile.
As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, Qin Jingru jumped out of the car and shouted into the house, "Mom and Dad, come out quickly, Brother Wang Feng is here!"
After parking his bicycle, Wang Feng, carrying a bag, saw Qin's parents come out.
Wang Feng quickly went to greet them, handed the bag to Qin's mother, and greeted Qin's parents with a smile: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt. Uncle, have a smoke."
Mother Qin smiled broadly, "Oh, alright, alright, you child, you came all this way, but you brought so much stuff. Don't do this again next time."
"Hehe, it's not much, Auntie, please don't be shy, just accept it," Wang Feng said with a smile.
Qin's father took the cigarette and smiled at Wang Feng, saying, "Let's go inside."
"Why."
Upon entering the room, Qin Jingru obediently poured Wang Feng a glass of water.
At this moment, Qin's mother opened the bag and exclaimed in surprise.
"Wang Feng, you brought too much stuff. Lao Qin, come and take a look."
Upon hearing this, both Qin's father and Qin Jingru looked over.
Qin's father cleared his throat and said dryly:
"This...this, Wang Feng, you brought too much stuff. How about this, you take all this back with you later. Our Qin family is marrying off our daughter, not selling her. We can't be so shameless as to accept so much stuff from you."
"Hehe, Uncle and Aunt, it wasn't easy for you to raise Jingru. These are all gifts I brought to show my respect to you. Besides, they're not worth much money, so please accept them," Wang Feng explained with a smile.
Seeing this, Qin Jingru thought to herself, "These things were brought by Wang Feng. If my parents don't accept them, wouldn't Wang Feng lose face? What kind of son-in-law brings gifts to the door and then takes them back with him?"
Thinking of this, she said directly to Qin's parents, "Mom and Dad, please accept it. Brother Wang Feng is a cadre, and his monthly salary is only 87.5 yuan. He won't be short of this little thing."
Wang Feng gave Qin Jingru a strange look. He had said before that he would soon be promoted to deputy section chief, so how come Qin Jingru now said that he was already a cadre?
"Well... okay."
Seeing that Wang Feng and Jing Ru had both said so, Qin's parents had no choice but to accept it.
After everyone sat down, Qin's mother looked at Wang Feng and asked, "Wang Feng, what are your plans regarding this matter with Jingru?"
"Uncle and Aunt, this is what I'm thinking. Now that I'm all alone at home, I don't plan to hold the banquet in the city. After lunch, I'll take Jingru back to the city to get our marriage certificate first, and then hold the banquet back in the village after a while. What do you think?"
"no problem."
Without a second thought, Mr. and Mrs. Qin agreed. What else could they do but agree to such a good son-in-law?
"Old Qin, hurry up and go to the field to call Dashan back to kill the chicken. Later, go to your second uncle's house and have him prepare Jingru's letter of introduction. Jingru, you just stay home and keep Wang Feng company."
"become."
Qin's father tossed aside his cigarette butt, smiled and nodded at Wang Feng, then went out.
Not long after Qin's father left, the laughter of the older woman and the young wife came from outside the door.
"Jingru's mom, we've come to see our son-in-law from the city!"
Seeing this, Wang Feng took the White Rabbit milk candy and went outside, where he saw a group of middle-aged women and young wives, followed by dozens of children.
"Jingru, your boyfriend is so handsome! Oh, Jingru's mom, you've got such a great son-in-law, you can just sit back and enjoy life from now on."
Qin Jingru whispered to Wang Feng, "The one on the left is my sixth aunt, the one in the middle is my third sister-in-law, and the one on the right is my eldest aunt."
Wang Feng took out White Rabbit milk candies, gave two to each person, and said with a smile, "Auntie, Sixth Aunt, Third Sister-in-law, everyone have some candy."
"Oh, it's still White Rabbit milk candy, Jingru. Your boyfriend is really generous."
A group of middle-aged women and young wives couldn't stop smiling when they saw that it was White Rabbit milk candy, but none of them ate it, planning to save it for their own children.
Wang Feng waved to a group of children, told them to line up, and gave each of them two White Rabbit milk candies.
"Thank you, brother."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Wang Feng looked at the group of innocent children and smiled. He liked this atmosphere very much, but he hadn't felt this kind of atmosphere in a long time.
After seeing everyone off, Qin Jingru's older brother, Qin Dashan, also returned.
As soon as Qin Dashan stepped outside, Qin Jingru shouted at him, "Brother, what are you dawdling for? Mom told you to kill a chicken."
Wang Feng took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed it to Qin Dashan: "Brother, have a smoke."
Qin Dashan took the cigarette and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, a Zhonghua cigarette!"
Wang Feng lit a cigarette for Qin Dashan, then took out a pack from his pocket and put it in his pocket, saying with a smile, "Here, have a smoke."
"Hehe, alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Please sit for a while, I'll go kill the chicken first."
After saying that, Qin Dashan carefully put away the Zhonghua cigarettes and ran into the house to kill a chicken.
With this pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, he could brag about it for a month.
Qin's mother worked quickly, and lunch was ready in no time.
Lunch was quite lavish: a chicken stew with mushrooms, stir-fried green peppers with pork, pickled cabbage with cured pork, and scrambled eggs. The staple food was steamed white flour buns.
Qin's father opened a bottle of Moutai, poured a glass for Wang Feng, and then poured one for himself. He then smiled and said, "Wang Feng, come on, let's have a good drink together today."
When Qin Dashan saw that it was Moutai, his eyes lit up. He took the Moutai and poured himself a full glass, which made his father glare at him fiercely.
Wang Feng picked up his cup and smiled at Qin's father and Qin Dashan, saying, "Uncle, elder brother, come, let me toast you."
With that, Wang Feng downed his drink in one gulp.
"Come on, drink."
"Brother Wang Feng, eat more vegetables." Qin Jingru sat next to Wang Feng and whispered to him when she saw so many hearty dishes.
As she spoke, Qin Jingru placed a large chicken leg on Wang Feng's plate, along with some meat and an egg, filling his bowl to the brim before stopping.
Wang Feng smiled and nodded. He liked Qin Jingru's personality. As long as he married her, she would always side with him, and even her family would have to take a backseat.
Qin's father poured Wang Feng another cup, and while drinking it, he said, "Wang Feng, your uncle only has one daughter, Jingru. I hope you won't bully her or let her suffer any injustice in the future."
Wang Feng downed his drink in one gulp and assured them, "Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of Jingru from now on."
As he spoke, Wang Feng took out a red envelope and handed it to Qin's mother, saying, "Auntie, this is Jingru's betrothal gift. Please keep it safe."
"Okay, okay."
Qin's mother accepted the betrothal gifts, felt their thickness, and immediately beamed with joy.
The bride price must be accepted, and the more the groom gives, the more he values the bride, and the more face the bride's family will have.
A dowry of 28 yuan is unique in the entire Qin Family Village. She decided that she would go and have a chat with Huai Ru's mother later.
