    ?

    Mr. Liu opened the door, it was Liu Qian, and the dinner outside was ready.

    Although the dinner tonight was a bit rushed, it was still rich. Most of it was already prepared by Liu Yueyue's family. Some of the dishes and snacks made by Liu Qian were the icing on the cake, which made everyone who hadn't eaten her cooking for a long time very happy.  Appetite, the guests and hosts had a good time during the dinner, and a lot of gossip was said. Liu Butcher's family knew what Mr. Liu meant, and they were also very happy for Liu Qian, and they also said a lot of blessings, but there was no formal engagement with the Zhang family.  So it is still very reserved to speak.

    Everyone was very happy, only Zhang Xiaohu glanced at Liu Yueyue from the corner of his eyes from time to time, but unfortunately, Liu Yueyue's attention was not on him, which made him inevitably disappointed.

    After the meal, they talked for a while, and Liu Qian, who had been walking all afternoon, was yawning profusely, so Liu Kai arranged for Zhang Xiaolong and his brother to stay overnight, and Liu Butcher's family also went home to rest.

    In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiaolong and his brother were about to bid farewell and return to Guozhuang. Liu Qian considered that she hadn't been home for a long time and wanted to stay for a few more days. Moreover, Zhang Xiaolong wanted to discuss the engagement with his parents when he went back this time.  I was really shy to follow, so I didn't follow back.  Mr. Liu specifically asked Zhang Xiaolong to explain his intentions to Zhang Cai when he went back, and not to have any embarrassment about the previous refusal, and asked Zhang Xiaolong to come over on a good and auspicious day to make an appointment for the marriage.

    Zhang Xiaolong naturally agreed wholeheartedly, so under Liu Qian's reluctant eyes, the two set off on their way.

    The way to come is full of sweetness, and the way back is full of joy.

    Back at Guozhuang, you can pass the low wall of the Zhang family from a long distance, and you can see the family standing in the small courtyard, looking towards the village entrance from time to time. It is estimated that, except for Zhang Xiaohua, everyone else did not take care of themselves.  the rest.  Seeing Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu appear in the field of vision, Zhang Xiaohua jumped up first, ran out quickly, ran to Zhang Xiaolong, and asked cheerfully: "Brother, how is the situation? We all look forward to  What about the good news? Hey~~Why didn¡¯t Sister Qianqian come back? Didn¡¯t she¡­¡±

    Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to ask any more questions.

    Before Zhang Xiaolong opened his mouth, Zhang Xiaohu said angrily: "You didn't see the big brother with peach blossoms on his face, and he was happily closing his mouth from ear to ear. You should take the bottle in my hand first, I have carried it all the way."

    Only then did Zhang Xiaohua cheer up, instead of taking the bottle in Zhang Xiaohu's hand, she turned around and ran home to report to her parents.

    Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei, who received the good news, were also very happy, and ran to the gate of the yard to meet their son.  Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu were surrounded like heroes into the small courtyard of the Zhang family. After Zhang Xiaolong sat down on the chair, took a few gulps of the boiled water handed over by Zhang Xiaohua, and then began to talk about the situation in Baligou.  Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei were elated when they heard it, and secretly put down a big stone in their hearts. When Zhang Xiaolong proudly said Mr. Liu's apology and the news that Zhang's family would pick a good day to make an engagement, the two heard mixed joy and sorrow.  .  The happy thing is that I did not misread the wrong person. Mr. Liu is still a close friend. Of course, he will be an in-law in the future.  With such a family background, this is a difficult problem. If you give less, your own face doesn't matter. Mr. Liu's family's face can't be held up, but if you give too much, you really can't afford it. Just give it to Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian  Difficulties in later life.

    However, these are things to consider in the future, the key now is to celebrate a little bit, let¡¯s set a date first.  Guo Sufei also happily told the good news to her bedridden grandma, which made her face rosy with joy.

    In the next few days, the Zhang family was immersed in joy. When spring returned to the earth, Zhang Xiaolong¡¯s spring also came. Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei were busy with their engagement, while Zhang Xiaolong and other three brothers were busy in the fields.  For spring plowing and spring planting, this day is getting warmer every day, the land in the fields has already been frozen, and the warm spring breeze blowing on the face reminds people that it is not too early for spring plowing.

    The custom of betrothal marriage is also very simple to say, that is, the father and mother of the man bring various gifts and prepare the man's birthday horoscope to the woman's home. The woman accepts the gift and gives the woman's birthday horoscope to the man.  , Even if the engagement is completed, of course, there are also those who set the time for the marriage at that time, and more often they will discuss the marriage again later and then set the time.  In fact, dowry gifts are just gifts of various colors, but people have a psychology of comparison, and this gift is compared with each other. At this time, most of the time, it is just a gift of silver, sometimes called a prize money.

    No, Zhang Cai and his wife are worrying about winnings.

    Zhang Cai believes that Liu Qian is a good wife and should give more prize money, saying that it is very precious for the Zhang family to marry this daughter-in-law, and Liu Xian?It is also very face-saving, and Guo Sufei believes that although it is necessary to show something, but the conditions of her family are limited and cannot be too expensive, otherwise the daughter-in-law does not marry, and this life will not be able to live.

    Zhang Cai actually knew about this situation, and thought so before, but he hesitated when it came to the matter.  After all, don't you still have hundreds of taels of silver notes hidden at home?  With this possibility, I naturally want to do things better in my heart.  When Zhang Cai talked about the banknote, Guo Sufei also hesitated. When she told Liu Qian earlier, she made up her mind to use the banknote, but was stopped by Liu Qian. Now, since there is a banknote, why?  Need not?  Besides, more than a month has passed, and no one has come to the house to cause trouble. Presumably, they have really taken the money as compensation. In this case, the money belongs to the family, so why not use it?

    The differences between the husband and wife seemed to disappear, and both tended to use this banknote.  So, Guo Sufei took out the bank note and the token hidden at the bottom of the box.  Then called Zhang Xiaolong into the back room.

    Zhang Xiaolong's injury healed quickly, and he no longer needed to immobilize his arm after a few days of hard work, but the injured arm was still unable to lift heavy objects.  Zhang Xiaolong entered the back room and asked: "Father, mother, what's the matter? I'm going to go down to loosen the soil."

    Guo Sufei said lovingly: "Your arm hasn't healed yet, so you should do less work and let Xiaohu and Xiaohua do more."

    Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile: "I have stayed in bed for a long time this month, and my bones feel like they are going to rust. It is really comfortable to move around now. Besides, Xiaohua is still young, growing her body, and  How can I make him work more?"

    Zhang Cai said: "We know that you are very energetic now, and we have no intention of stopping you, but the days ahead will be long, so you should pay more attention to your body."

    Zhang Xiaolong responded: "Understood, Daddy, what's the matter? Don't simply let me rest."

    Guo Sufei said: "Oh, it's like this, your father and I are planning to go to Baligou in the next few days to make an appointment for your marriage with Qianqian, but, our family can't come up with a good bride price, we plan to take the last time  Take out those bank notes and exchange them for a little."

    After finishing speaking, he put the two bank notes and the token in front of Zhang Xiaolong, pointed to the token and said, "You also take this thing first, in case something happens during the exchange, take this thing out, maybe it will work."

    Zhang Xiaolong looked at the earnest faces of his father and mother, as well as the bank notes and tokens in front of him, sighed, and did not pick them up. He said, "Dad, mother, didn't we say that we would never use the bank notes that day?"  ?"

    Zhang Cai said with a wry smile: "Yes, that's what I said at the time, but the situation is stronger than others. We don't have a decent gift. Isn't it embarrassing for Liu Qian's family?"

    Zhang Xiaolong said: "Father, if you talk about the quality of your family, these ten miles and eight towns are much better than us, and there are even more people who go to Liu's family to propose marriage. How can we compare? Liu Qian  The willingness to marry into our family does not depend on our family circumstances. Mr. Liu told me a lot at the Liu family the day before yesterday. He is very clear about our family's situation and didn't mention any bride price. I think we don't have to fight  Make your face fat."

    Guo Sufei said: "Xiaolong, if people don't mention it, it doesn't mean that people don't care. It's not surprising that there are many polite people. Let's get ready."

    Zhang Xiaolong said: "No, mother, I can't ruin my house just because I marry a daughter-in-law. This bank note is a curse, and we must never use it."

    Guo Sufei said: "Your father and I have also figured this out. We haven't come to the door for so long. It should be fine. Besides, there is this token. They may not dare to do anything to us."

    Zhang Xiaolong smiled wryly and said: "Mother, this token was given by Xu Nvxia to save our lives. It just means that if a bully comes to make trouble, use it to prove that she is here to protect us, and didn't Daxia Wen also say it? No  Move these banknotes, and when the bully comes to the door, return it quickly, if someone comes to the door in the future, we don¡¯t have the banknotes to give them, what should we do?"

    Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei were said to be speechless. In fact, it's not that they don't know this, and they are confused if they care about it. It is inevitable that they will be confused when it comes to their son.

    Zhang Xiaolong added: "What the Liu family appreciates about us is not money or anything like that. Besides, don't our family have something more precious than money? Just give Mr. Liu more opportunities in the future?"

    Zhang Cai said with a wry smile: "What is better than money in our family? Why don't I know?"

    Zhang Xiaolong smiled mysteriously, and said the following words.
