Chapter 156 155. The engagement was made
What happened next was a matter of course, nothing unexpected happened. Mother Du was extremely satisfied with Qing Jiu just by her appearance.
Coupled with the fact that Mr. Jiu is well-spoken and has an outstanding temperament, he is even more satisfied. He wishes Du Chuan could marry Mr. Ji back home immediately.
So ever since Mr. Jiu entered the door, the smile on his face has not stopped. When he met some neighbors who pretended to be passing by to watch the fun, they became much more enthusiastic.
Sister-in-law Jiao Lanhua is also very enthusiastic, and she is not jealous when she sees the jade bracelet and the big red envelope prepared by Du Mu for the memory of Qing.
When she and Du Yuan received their marriage certificate, Du's mother made up for a red envelope, but it was not much, much less than the one given to commemorate Qing.
But Jiao Lanhua also understood that the money belonged to Du Chuan, and Du Chuan had given the family a lot of money.
Although the money is all for his parents, now that Du Chuan no longer lives here, they are still the ones subsidizing it.
So Jiao Lanhua is not jealous or envious at all, otherwise she would be a bit ungrateful.
As for the bracelets and red envelopes, Qing Ji declined them for a moment, then accepted them, knowing that these were all rules.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, Du Chuan took Jiu Qing back. He did not go back to his room, but sent him home directly because he understood that Zhu Hui and the others were still waiting.
When Memorial Queen returned home and took out the things Du Mu had given her, Zhu Hui looked at the bracelet for herself, then took out the red envelope and nodded, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Mom, you are too realistic." Jiu Miao couldn't stand it anymore. Although she knew that her mother was real before, but at this point, Zhu Hui still did this, which made her feel a little... Shameful.
Zhu Hui glared at her, "What do you know? This is not a question of more money or less, but a question of attitude."
"You also remember, if you find me in the future, If you don’t give the target a small entrance gift, then you can’t get along with him. This proves that his family looks down on you.”
Jiu Miao said unconvinced: “What you said is too exaggerated. What about a family with average conditions? "
What she didn't expect at this time was that Ji Xuetao actually said, "No matter if the conditions are average or not, the attitude must be the same. We are not really selling our daughter. We will definitely do it when the time comes. I will give it to you all."
Zhu Hui suddenly felt proud when she saw her husband on her side, "I can still harm you. Take your dad for example. Your dad's family was not in a good situation back then. But when I came to visit, your grandma borrowed enough money.”
“This proves your attitude. Otherwise, even if I like your dad, I would not agree to marry him.”
Jiu Miao muttered: "Anyway, whatever you say makes sense."
Zhu Hui didn't care about her second daughter. It was still too early for her to get married. Let's talk about it after graduating from college.
"Qingqing, this was given to you by Du Chuan's parents personally, not from Du Chuan, right?" Zhu Hui remembered something and asked quickly.
Qing Ji asked with some confusion: "Auntie gave it to me, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Zhu Hui became even more satisfied, waved her hand and said: "It's nothing, it seems that this in-law is really good. "
She knows that Du Chuan, the future son-in-law, is rich, but sometimes, just because the son-in-law is rich does not mean that the son-in-law's parents are generous.
In addition, she also has her own considerations. What Memorial Qing brings back today will determine her attitude towards Du Chuan's parents tomorrow.
This is a matter of principle. On this point, Zhu Hui still has a very bottom line.
………………
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the hotel was already open, and Du Chuan had someone help book a large private room early.
Although all hotels nowadays are state-owned, they still have private rooms, especially since the hotel Du Chuan found is a time-honored one.
Du Chuan stood at the door to greet the Ji family. After bringing them into the box, Du's father and Du's mother quickly stood up. The attitudes of both parties were very good, and they kept praising the other's children.
Zhu Hui: "This child Du Chuan is sensible, capable, and very filial."
Mother Du: "I like this child Qingqing at first sight. Winning, my Du Chuan is really lucky to be able to marry such a wife."
Zhu Hui: "When I first saw Du Chuan, I knew he was a capable person. People, you educate well."
Mother Du: "Qingqing has such a temperament because of your family background."
The two mothers praised each other. The children, Du's father and Ji Xuetao were drinking.
As for the third child, he has long been involved with Mian Miao and Mian Zu. The relationship between them is even more lively. It seems that they are the protagonists this time.
On the other hand, Du Chuan and Jiu Qing looked like outsiders, sitting quietly on the side.
After three rounds of drinking, the two parties began to discuss specific matters.
"According to what I want, how about finding a good and auspicious day to get engaged first, and then getting married directly after Qingqing graduates?" Mother Du said.
Although Du Mu seemed to be discussing it, in fact, she had already decided on everything, even the engagement date.
As for the wedding date, she has actually already set it, but she just didn’t say it.
Although Du Mu is not a strong character, she also has her own persistence.
For example, when it comes to her son marrying a wife, she believes that they need to take the lead in this kind of matter.
Forget about the eldest son, they won’t know until they have their children, but she has to make a decision about her second son’s marriage.
Zhu Hui has no objection to this. This is also her idea.
“You and I have the same ideas.”
Du Mu smiled with satisfaction, and then began to discuss the betrothal gift. On this, Du Mu originally wanted to You need to be careful. This is not because you are stingy or anything else, but as a man, you always have to express your attitude on this.
However, Du Chuan had already discussed this matter with her in advance. In addition, he was very satisfied with the memorial minister, so the conversation with Zhu Hui went smoothly.
So Du Mu gave up her previous idea.
On Zhu Hui's side, there was no big talk like a lion. Even the normal betrothal gift is now, and he said: "We won't ask for this money, and we will give it to the couple when the time comes."
"Although they are not short of this little money, this is more or less what we want as parents."
Mother Du is even more satisfied with this. It can be said that now Mother Du is not only satisfied with the memorial minister Yes, I am very satisfied with this future in-laws.
Mother Du has her own little plan. Now that her son is so capable and has so much money, as a mother, she must help and look after him.
Especially when it comes to marrying a wife, Mrs. Du understands this very well.
And this Xian is not only her daughter-in-law, but also her family, otherwise there will be many things in the future.
As for Father Du and Ji Xuetao, they seemed to have no say in this scene, but it could be seen that they were chatting quite happily, and their faces were glowing red as they drank.
