Chapter 58 Engagement 2

Seeing that there is nothing else to clean up, Xia Ye said to Li Liqiu: "Let's go to the department store! There are still tasks!"

Li Liqiu followed Xia Ye suspiciously to the department store.Xia Ye settled the car and led Li Liqiu to the second floor. There was a counter there. Xia Ye said directly to the salesperson behind the cabinet, "Sister, please take out that watch and have a look!"

Xia Yerang took a well-known SH watch. The watch he said was a lady's watch. The salesperson looked at the two of them and saw that they were still worn without any patches, so he handed it to Xia Ye.

"Sister Liqiu, stretch out your hand!" Xia Ye said

Li Liqiu listened, stretched out her left hand obediently, Xia Ye took the watch and measured it, yes, Xia Ye nodded with a smile, and said to the salesperson: "Sister, please take this one!"

Li Liqiu hurriedly said: "Yewa! You don't need to buy this, do you? It's too expensive!"

Xia Ye waved her hand and said, "Sister Liqiu, this is what you should do. How do you look?"

Li Liqiu could only look at it and said, "It's pretty good! It's just a bit expensive!"

Xia Ye shook her head and turned to face the salesperson.

Ask the salesperson: "Sister, how much does this cost?"

Sister salesperson: "It's 156 yuan, and I need to provide industrial vouchers!" Xia Ye nodded, and directly counted out 156 yuan and handed the industrial vouchers to the salesperson. The money was clipped and then hung on a wire rope overhead, which slid to the general ledger.

Xia Ye then smiled and said to Li Liqiu: "The engagement ceremony, sister Liqiu, just leave it alone!"

Li Liqiu blushed and nodded slightly.

After waiting for the receipt to come back, the salesperson packed the watch and handed it to Xia Ye.

Before leaving, the salesman smiled and said to Li Liqiu: "Your partner is really willing to spend money for you, but it's really good!"

Li Liqiu faltered with a red face and said nothing, but shyly followed behind Xia Ye.

Xia Ye put the watch box in her bag with great care, turned around and headed towards the clothing area, looked at the red dress, and after comparing the size, asked Li Liqiu, "Will you wear it on the date of the engagement party?" This one must look good!"

After hearing this, Li Liqiu blushed even more, and obediently did not speak any more.

Afterwards, during the shopping process, Xia Ye was picking things, and Li Liqiu acted like a little daughter-in-law throughout the whole process, obedient and well-behaved, and bought everything, and finally completed the task assigned to him by Xia's mother. .I went to the tobacco and alcohol counter to buy tobacco and alcohol, and put them in the cloth bag I brought.Xia Ye calculated that all the things for the banquet should be ready, so she took these things and rode a bicycle to go home.

Xia Ye directly took Li Liqiu back to her home, and when she pushed the door open, she heard Xia's mother's voice inside: "You're back now? It's quite early! Why didn't you take Li Liqiu to dinner at the state-run restaurant?"

After Xia Ye finished the car, as soon as she heard Xia's mother's words, she slapped her forehead, thinking about shopping, and forgot about eating!Xia Ye looked at Li Liqiu with embarrassment, and Li Liqiu gave him a blank look.In fact, she was satisfied just looking at the things Xia Ye bought for her. As for hunger, she didn't feel any hunger at all. She just listened to Xia Ye's arrangements along the way, and did what she did.

Coughing and coughing, Xia Ye said to Xia's mother: "Where is the food in the state-run restaurant as delicious as your mother's cooking? That's why I hurried to bring Sister Liqiu back for dinner!"

Xia's mother came closer, tapped Xia Ye's forehead, and said to Li Qiu helplessly, "She will say, next time I take you out, I must eat outside. Fortunately, I know that I will save you two. It’s ready to eat! If you don’t keep it, you won’t have to starve for a long time. Her! As long as you go out, she rushes home every time! It’s like a hidden treasure at home!”

Li Liqiu pursed her lips happily: "He really can't bear to part with his aunt!"

Xia Ye over there also continued: "Isn't our family treasure a mother, are you?"

Xia Ye's words amused Xia's mother, her face paled for Xia Ye, and she handed the feather duster to Xia Ye: "I can't talk about you, you are too poor! Nong, dust yourself off, mother will give it to you!" You two set the meal." Xia Mu went to the kitchen as she spoke.

Xia Ye took the feather duster and handed it to Li Liqiu first. Li Liqiu took it, first dusted the dust off her body, and then didn't give it to Xia Ye, and directly dusted it for Xia Ye. , Li Liqiu brushed with moderate strength, her face was concerned and gentle, Xia Ye looked down, and saw Li Liqiu's eyelashes brushing and blinking, as if brushing Xia Ye's heart, moving faster.At that moment, Xia Ye felt that if Li Liqiu was really a partner in her future life, it would be good to live together. . .

Not long after, Li Liqiu dusted off Xia Ye's body, and when she raised her head, she was looking into Xia Ye's staring eyes, and the two of them froze for a moment.At this time, Mother Xia's voice calling the two of them to eat sounded.Xia Ye quickly used the washbasin to catch the water, and the two of them took turns to wash up, and then hurriedly sat down at the table, Xia Ye groaned, and grabbed the chicken with his hands while saying, "Mom, it's you who loves me so much. delicious!"

Xia's mother specially made big stuffed dumplings for the two of them, and also fried scrambled eggs with wild onions and spicy pheasant; stewed sauerkraut stewed meat, rabbit stewed potatoes, and put them in large bowls and plates, setting a table full , Mother Xia patted Xia Ye's hand with chopsticks, and said: "Eat with chopsticks! Why are you still like a child! When I cook these dishes, I don't love you. I love my daughter Li Qiu!" As he spoke, he put the chicken that Xia Ye wanted to grab into Li Qiu's bowl.

Xia Ye pouted a bit and took the chopsticks to pick up the rabbit meat. Li Liqiu ate the meat Xia Ye gave her. Seeing that Xia Ye didn't talk much, she thought she was angry, so she quickly picked up the chopsticks for her. Xia Ye Looking at the chicken that suddenly appeared in the bowl, he smiled at Li Liqiu, "I'm not jealous of you!" He ate the meat and chewed hard.

It made Li Liqiu want to laugh, but her throat got stuck accidentally, Xia's mother hurriedly patted her on the back, and said to Xia Ye: "Don't you stop teasing your sister Liqiu! Hurry up and eat well!"

Xia Ye rolled his eyes, and agreed with a low voice.After the meal, Li Liqiu helped Xia's mother clean up the dining table, and Xia's mother took Xia Ye to send Li Liqiu away. After Li Liqiu left, she was busy inviting relatives from Xia's family, mainly to the old Xia's house. The old man must be invited.

When Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia were in the main room, they were shocked when they heard Xia's mother say that Xia Ye was going to be engaged.

Mrs. Xia hurriedly said arrogantly: "No, you can't say anything! Yewa's cousin is not engaged yet! It's his turn, seniors and young are in order! He has to wait until his two cousins ​​are engaged before he can marry." Engagement! Otherwise, we won’t go, no one in the family is allowed to go, whoever breaks his legs! There are no rules!”

Before Xia's mother could say anything, Xia Ye stopped her from speaking, rolled her eyes and said to Xia Laoshuan and Xia's old lady: "Master, grandma, the engagement is decided by my deceased father and Uncle Dashan. I'm just here to tell you, as for the marriage between the eldest brother and the others, I can't control it as a young man. On the day of the engagement, you two can go there if you want to, and no one will drag you if you don't want to! I have something to do with my mother, so I won't spend much time with you said!"

As he said that, he dragged Xia's mother out of the old Xia's yard, and ignored the old lady Xia who patted her thigh and howled.

This day is the engagement day. Early in the morning, Li Sen took the tables, chairs and benches from his family and Aunt Wang's family to Xia Ye's house. He planned to set up four tables in total, and one table was temporarily uncertain because Xia Ye didn't know the old Xia's family. He couldn't make it through, but Grandpa San Xia came here in a decent dress early in the morning, and he saw that his beard was carefully groomed and neatly combed.Xia Ye hurriedly invited the third grandpa to take a seat: "Grandpa third, sit here!" As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and poured the tea.

The dishes were served on the table with the help of Li Lichun and other girls.The dishes of Xia Ye Lane are not too ostentatious, the meat is bought by the supply and marketing cooperatives, big meat stewed with potatoes, tofu stewed with sauerkraut, two pheasants, half of each table, fried bean sprouts with shredded pork, eggs spread with wild onions, mixed with cold dishes, Each table has six dishes, all of which are served on a large plate, and each table has a bottle of Lao Baigan, which is also a bleeding solid dish in the village. After all, every family still drinks a lot of corn mush.Fearing that people would not eat it refreshingly enough, I still stewed slices of fat pork with sauerkraut in the kitchen!I thought about letting each family take some back after the banquet.

At about eight o'clock, the people who had been notified came over one after another. Knowing that it is not easy to eat now, they didn't bring their children. After waiting for half an hour, the old Xia's family didn't arrive either. Grandpa Xia represented the Xia family. The elders and the elders of Li's parents met with their in-laws together, and then Mother Xia and Li Qiuniang made a marriage contract under the witness of the matchmaker. Zhao Shutian made a speech on behalf of the leaders of the village, and the engagement banquet was considered complete.In the rest of the time, everyone started to eat. When everyone was halfway through the meal, Mrs. Xia came with a mighty army of grandsons. She didn't say anything, and took some good dishes to her side at the main table. While eating, the grandsons, no matter how big or small, swept the other three tables, but they disgusted the visitors. Before the guests left, Mrs. Xia said to Xia Ye's mother and son: "We have been here before! God! Come here, we are going!" After speaking, he left in a mighty manner.Not a word of congratulations, and no concern for the relatives of the Li family.

This is here to make trouble, disgusting people came, and made Grandpa Xia very angry, but it's not worth scolding people on a happy day.

It's not noisy, I feel aggrieved if I don't.In this hopeless situation, Mother Xia held back her anger and brought back some stewed vegetables to each family before leaving, even if it repaired the atmosphere.

Mother Xia kept apologizing to Li Qiuniang: "I'm sorry, sister!"

Li Qiuniang is very considerate: "Don't say that, sister, it's not like I don't know what Aunt Xia is like! From now on, our sister and I will be in-laws! It's us who get along, don't say that! I can put Li Qiu is handed over to Yewa!"

Mother Xia hurriedly interjected: "You can rest assured about this! If my Yewa bullies Li Qiu, I will beat her with a feather duster!"

Although the engagement banquet was not as satisfactory, it finally gave Li Qiu's family a peace of mind.
