Quick Travel: The Long Road to Resurrection

Li Shengli felt very upset when he heard what his mother said to Lao Gaoda in the yard.

What is an iron pot? How can it be equipped with a gold lid? Why is it an iron pot?

He just wanted to go to the river and take a bath to relieve his mood. Just as he was about to walk out, he saw Li Kaiqi entering the house.

"Brother, do you dislike Sister Xinxin and don't want to get engaged to her?" Li Kaiqi asked directly.

"Well, actually I can't tell. I just think she is a match for me." Li Shengli said dejectedly.

Li Kaiqi knows that in this era, people get married first and then fall in love, but the eldest brother obviously has someone he likes. Isn't it unfair to Xu Xinxin that she can't accept it?

I'm afraid that my eldest brother, like in a certain period drama of the new century, is a child bride in the countryside, has a free relationship with another woman in the city, and hooks up with others after getting married, which is unfair to both women.

Li Kaiqi expressed her own thoughts to Li Shengli.

"Perhaps what I said is a bit ahead of my time. You don't quite understand. If you make up your mind to get engaged to Sister Xinxin, you must keep yourself clean in the city." She said to him seriously.

"Brother understands." Li Shengli nodded and said.

The next day

After work at noon, Mother Li told Mrs. Xu that her son was willing. Mrs. Xu felt her heart go out to her when she heard Li Shengli agreed. If Li Shengli didn't want to do it, her granddaughter would go crazy.

"Well, since we are in-laws, after dinner today, you and Dagang will come over and explain the matter clearly. We can also choose a date to have a wedding ceremony. I'm not afraid of your jokes. That's fine. Let our family Xinxin feel at ease." Mrs. Xu said to Mother Li.

"Okay, why not!" Mother Li agreed immediately.

After saying that, everyone went back to their homes.

Xu's

After the family had a good meal, Mrs. Xu said to everyone, "After work, Dagang's wife came to see me and said she would come to discuss Shengli and Xinxin's marriage in the evening."

Tan Lihua couldn't help but said: "I'll just say it! Xinxin is such a good girl, Li Shengli will definitely agree, so you don't need to worry anymore!"

Mrs. Xu was happy today and didn't care much if her daughter-in-law complained.

Old man Xu was also very happy. For such a promising grandson-in-law, he felt that the cigarettes rolled in aged tobacco leaves were much easier to smoke.

The whole family was happy, but Xu Zhongcheng was not happy. His daughter was going to be married to Li Shengli of Lao Li's family, so he couldn't be happy anymore.

I thought that if Li Shengli came in the evening, I would show that boy the majesty of his father-in-law.

"Old Li's family is rich now, so we need more betrothal gifts." Tan Lihua said proudly.

"We country people, we ask for a lot of betrothal gifts, just ask for whatever they give us!" Mrs. Xu said.

Lao Xu also nodded.

When Xu Zhongcheng heard this, he thought that asking for more betrothal gifts would scare people away. Although he was not satisfied with Li Shengli as his son-in-law, he felt dissatisfied with another young man. He was taller among the short ones. Compared to the others, this Li Shengli is just okay!

"It's not too much, just 66 yuan, plus a watch as a gift. Our family is not stingy, and we will buy a set of furniture for the young couple as dowry." Xu Zhongcheng said.

Xu Xinxin didn't agree with her mother's statement about asking for a lot of betrothal gifts, and she only wanted Brother Shengli.

In this way, the family chatted lively.

ding ding ding---

It wasn't until the bell rang that the Xu family left the topic and went to work.

Thinking of what happened tonight, Xu Xinxin worked very hard in the fields. She thought that she must show her future father-in-law and brother Shengli that she was a good wife with quick hands and feet. She also thought that she had never done this in front of them before. What a rude thing!

after dinner

The Li family couple took the snacks Li Shengli brought back from the city and walked to Xu's house.

Knock knock knock——

The person who opened the door was Xu Xinxin. Looking at the old couple of the Li family, she knew that they were here to discuss the engagement between Brother Shengli and herself, so she hurriedly welcomed them into the house and sat down.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li." Xu Xinxin greeted the two of them shyly.

"Xinxin, you are getting more and more juicy as you grow older." Mother Li joked.

Then, we discussed the engagement together.

"How about the Mid-Autumn Festival next month? The weather is good, and our team should have a day off, so everyone can come. It will be lively and it won't delay production." Old Man Xu said while taking a puff of his cigarette.

The eldest head of the family spoke, and of course everyone agreed. Besides, if they had chosen other days, they would not have been granted leave if it was not lively.

So the two families decided to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the team had a break, to hold a wedding ceremony.

"As a wedding gift, our family will give us three kilograms of pork, six kilograms of white wine, two kilograms each of candy, shortbread, peanuts, and red dates. Don't be dissatisfied with the lack of things," Li Dagang said to the Xu family.

When the Xu family heard about the engagement ceremony, they felt it was a bit small, but they were too embarrassed to propose it.

Old man Xu smiled and nodded and said: "It's all your wishes, why do we pay attention to this?"

When Tan Lihua heard about this engagement gift, she was a little unhappy. They were all cheap. It was too easy to make a bet for your own daughter. No wonder people say that the richer the family, the stingier it is. .

"No, they gave me clothes and leather shoes as a wedding gift in the city! After all, your family Shengli is from the city, so you are not allowed to follow the rules of the city!" Tan Lihua said with a look of dissatisfaction.

Mr. Li and his wife looked unhappy. What did Tan Lihua say? What are the rules in the city? The engagement gift given by her family can be regarded as the first share of the red flag brigade. If other people in the Xu family think so, then it's really I have to consider whether it is a wrong decision to marry the Xu family.

At this time, Xu Xinxin was almost crying.

The rest of the Xu family felt that it would be good for their daughter-in-law to say that the wedding gift was less. Now that the wedding gift is so perfunctory, the bride price will be even less. I wonder how other families pay attention to it!

However, now, in order to make the old Li family look better, Old Man Xu still pretended to scold him and said: "You are an ignorant old lady, and you still dare to pay attention to your in-laws."

Mrs. Xu agreed: "Go back to the house quickly."

Tan Lihua was scared, thinking that her husband was really angry. She thought that in all the years she had been here, her husband had never said a harsh word, and neither did her mother-in-law. Why was she being taught a lesson in front of outsiders today? Ran back to the house.

Xu Zhongcheng supplemented: "This bastard thing, if you don't put up the roof for three days, I will go into the house and take care of this old woman."

After saying that, Xu Zhongcheng walked back into the house.

They didn't know whether the Li family had been dealt with or not, but after hearing this, they felt quite disgusted. They just said that the daughter-in-law was ignorant, but they didn't complain that the engagement gift was too little!

Thinking that things really needed to slow down, I didn't want to discuss it any further.

After making an excuse and saying that the matter would be discussed another day, the couple went home worried.

Seeing that Li Shengli was about to return to the city, the Li family did not come to discuss the engagement, and the Xu family also complained a little about the Li family.

I think about my daughter, there are countless girls from all over the country. Your family is not willing, but there are many good people who are willing.

So the atmosphere between the two families was awkward, and they didn't speak to each other when they met.

In the end, the matter was still undecided, and Li Shengli also returned to the city.
