Traveling through 70, reborn officers with various pets

The next day was the Little New Year. Early in the morning, Aunt Zhao went to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up to buy meat.

The old man also asked the guard Xiao Lan to go with him, "Xiao Lan, go with Xiao Zhao to buy some vegetables and see if there are any chickens. Bring one back to make soup for Ruoxing and the others."

"Yes, old leader!" Xiao Lan saluted and set off with Aunt Zhao.

Because the compound was not far from the supply and marketing cooperative, both of them walked there.

"Aunt Zhao, why don't you go see if there are any chickens? If there are, you can exchange one. I'll go to the meat processing plant to find an acquaintance to buy meat. The New Year is coming soon, so let's buy more to take back." Xiao Lan suggested as they walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Aunt Zhao thought about it and agreed.

This year, Captain Yang and his family of four are back to celebrate the New Year, so the meat and vegetables will definitely be consumed faster than in previous years. It would be better to buy more, otherwise it will become harder to buy them as the year gets closer.

Every year, supplies are extremely tight, alas...

I don’t know when it will end.

After the Little New Year, Ou's father and mother took advantage of their day off and took Ou Xuyao ​​to the Zhao family to propose marriage, along with the betrothal gifts and the matchmaker Huang.

"Oh, Brother Zhao and Sister Zhao, great joy!" As soon as they met, Aunt Huang began to congratulate Zhao's father and mother.

"Early this morning, I heard the call of a magpie. Look, it's a happy event. The Ou family is here with full sincerity and gifts to get engaged to your daughter!"

Zhao's father and mother quickly ushered them into the house to sit down and rest, "Xiao Ru, hurry up and pour some tea for your future parents-in-law and Aunt Huang."

Ou Xuyao ​​looked at his partner busying around and hurried forward to help.

In fact, the two families have already reached an agreement, and the main purpose of coming here today is to make it public and give the gift.

After everyone had their tea, Aunt Huang started talking again, "Sister-in-law, look at the son of the Ou family, he is very handsome, and at such a young age he is already a food developer in a food factory, so he has a bright future. Most importantly, their family atmosphere is really good. I am not exaggerating when I say that the Ou family treats their daughters better than their sons, and they will definitely treat our Xiaoru well in the future."

"Brother Zhao, Sister Zhao, today the Ou family came here with full sincerity to marry into your family. They have prepared a betrothal gift of 366 yuan, tickets for bicycles, sewing machines, watches, and radios, as well as various candies and snacks. Do you have anything else to add?"

Aunt Huang's words surprised Zhao's parents. This future in-law attached so much importance to their daughter, they were not tactless and certainly would not make any excessive demands.

"I'm sorry to bother you, my in-laws. Not only do so many things cost a lot, but you must also owe a lot of favors for so many big tickets. How about this? Our family will accept the betrothal gifts and various candies and snacks. Doesn't Xuyao ​​already have a bicycle? There's no need to buy more these days. Sewing machines and radios are not often used, so let's not spend money on them, okay? As for watches, we think the young couple still needs them, so let's buy them. When it's time to get married, our family will let Xiaoru take the betrothal gifts back, and our Zhao family will also prepare the dowry for Xiaoru to take along."

They had received the news before, so Zhao's parents discussed it and decided that they should buy some of the things they needed and not spend money on things that they didn't need. After all, the young couple would have to spend money on everything in the future.

Not to mention that raising children in the future will not be easy.

"Oh, this young couple is so blessed to have such open-minded parents! Look, they are more than just a couple, the young couple will surely live a prosperous life in the future." Aunt Huang listened to their conversation and added a few auspicious words at the right time.

"It's up to you, Sister Huang, to think about the younger generation in our family, otherwise we would have missed it, right?" Mother Ou and Mother Zhao were also good at talking. They could make the matchmaker smile with just one sentence.

The two families then had a very smooth discussion and set the wedding date on the sixth day of the first lunar month after the New Year. After both parties had their meal, they immediately got to work.

Although the current environment restricts us from having a grand celebration, we still have to arrange for Wen Xin Xiao Yan.

Marriage is a happy event, so shouldn’t everyone share in the joy?

These days we have been busy with the New Year preparations and also busy with Ou Xuyao's marriage after the New Year, which has been quite stressful for everyone.

However, people are in high spirits when good things happen, and everyone is happily handling the matter without any complaints.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, Ou Xuyao ​​went to Zhao Ru's house with the prepared New Year gifts.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm here to give you New Year gifts. These are the clothes that my parents and I prepared. Try them on and see if there's anything that doesn't fit. I'll take them and alter them for you." Ou Xuyao ​​handed two sets of clothes to Mr. and Mrs. Zhao and said sweetly.

Zhao's father was not good at speaking, so he patted his shoulder to show his approval. Zhao's mother took the clothes, shook them open and gestured, "Oh, it fits me well. The color and style are good. I'm sorry to have troubled my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

"Xuyao, have lunch at your aunt's house later. After lunch, let Xiaoru go home with you to give your parents New Year gifts."

Since the in-laws have done so well, the Zhao family would have to respond. This is a give-and-take relationship, and only when the relationship is close can the relationship be close.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, leaving the young couple outside to let them chat more and improve their relationship.

"Xiao Ru, this is the clothes I bought for you. Please try it on and show it to me." After Zhao Ru pulled Ou Xuyao ​​back to the room, the latter took out a piece of clothing from his bag and handed it to her.

Zhao Ru looked at the clothes in front of her and was in a good mood. "Thank you Xuyao, this dress is really beautiful."

She took the clothes and put them on to try them on, then turned around in front of Ou Xuyao ​​and asked, "Do you think it fits you well?"

Ever since Zhao Ru put on this dress, Ou Xuyao ​​was stunned and felt very happy. "My wife is so beautiful!"

"Yeah, it looks really good! I'll buy you some more new clothes in the future." Ou Xuyao ​​nodded vigorously and promised.

Zhao Ru glared at him shyly, "Do you think clothes are so easy to buy? One or two pieces are enough for me."

She would not be absolute in his feelings, but she also knew her limits.

"By the way, this is something my sister asked me to bring you. See if you like it." Ou Xuyao ​​suddenly remembered the thing Ou Ruoxing gave him two days ago, and hurriedly took it out and handed it to Zhao Ru.

"Ah? Isn't this inappropriate? I haven't prepared a gift for your sister yet~" When Zhao Ru heard that it was Ou Ruoxing who prepared the gift, she felt very embarrassed.

From now on, I will be her sister-in-law, but I haven't said anything about preparing a gift for her. What should I do...
