Chapter 70 Engagement
"Although I, Liu Yi, is a farmer, I am also a man with a strong and stable attitude. I have never regretted what I have said and done!" After hearing Liu Yi's words, Zhang Chuwen, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't help but shout in his heart. This is what a man should say. At the same time, he also knew that the marriage between Liu Yi and his sister was considered a success.
He quietly slipped back to the main hall and gave a wink to Zhang Boliang and his wife. Zhang Boliang and Zhang Liu were overjoyed. Then he no longer delayed the time with Liu Laoshi, but went straight to the main topic and directly led the topic to the life when the old Liu family married Chuchu.
Regarding the wedding date, Lao Liu certainly hopes that the sooner the better. One day earlier, he can hold his grandson one day earlier, so he set the day on the fifth day of next month. That day is an auspicious day, and more importantly, it is fast.
As for Zhang Boliang and his wife, they used to be anxious to marry their daughter, but now their daughter is really going to marry, and they feel reluctant to let go. Although Chuchu is not their biological child, she has lived together for nearly ten years, and the relationship between father and daughter is beyond words, so they want to delay their lives, preferably until mid-June. The reason is that they want to prepare more dowry for their daughter so that they will not be disliked after marrying.
How could Lao Liu agree? Isn’t this delaying his grandson? So he and Zhang Boliang and his wife argued about the wedding date. Both sides agreed, but there was no result. In the end, Zhang Chuwen told a compromise solution. The Zhang and Liu families took a step back and set the day on April 15th.
April fifteenth, three months, well, although it was a little late, it was barely within the scope of Lao Liu's acceptable. At that time, the spring plowing was already over, and it was a leisurely day. It was also more convenient to entertain relatives and friends. After everything was settled, Lao Liu said goodbye to his parents-in-law and mother-in-law with a smile and took Liu Yiou home.
When he got home, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Yuan Pei had arrived. Liu Erzhao was chatting with him. Seeing Liu You and the others back, Yuan Pei stood up to greet him and said, "Doctor Liu, Brother Liu, Yuan is polite here."
"Yuan Pei? Brother Yuan, why do you have time to come to my small temple today? Haha, please sit down." Lao Liu was in a good mood today and seemed more enthusiastic when he came to the guests. He reached out to signal Yuan Pei to sit down and shouted to Liu Ertiao: "Why don't you know the etiquette at all? Why don't you go and change your Uncle Yuan to a cup of hot tea!"
"No, no, no, this tea was made by the two virtuous nephews just now, so Brother Liu doesn't have to be polite anymore." Seeing that Liu Zhen was so happy, Yuan Pei sat down and asked, "Look at Brother Liu's face is full of redness. Is it a happy event that the marriage of a virtuous nephew has been completed?"
"Oh? Brother Yuan knows everything? Haha." Old Liu glanced at Liu Ertiao, and the boy's mouth was quite fast. He smiled and said to Yuan Pei, "Brother Yuan guessed right. Haha, the wedding date has been set. It's April 15th this year. Please send it in early April. I hope Brother Yuan can enjoy the face at that time."
"Really?" Liu Erzhao congratulated Liu Yi happily: "Brother, congratulations! I can finally have a little sister-in-law. I will tell my mother and Xiaohui about this good news!" After that, Liu Erzhao entered the inner compartment and reported the good news to Liu He.
Yuan Pei smiled and bowed, saying, "Then I want to congratulate Brother Liu and Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu's wedding will not be absent. We must come to have a happy celebration. Yes, we won't prepare anything for the gifts. All the woodworking furniture used for the newlyweds will be included in our Yuan family. Even if we have a little intention from our Yuan family and father to Mr. Yi."
Yuan Pei opened his mouth and gave Liu Yi a big favor. Liu Yi knew it. Compared to the workshop they were going to open, these furniture were simply a side dish. Yuan Pei's move seemed to be showing kindness, but more like he was trying to make a relationship. Liu Yi was not polite to Yuan Pei. If the workshop started in the future, he would also need this relationship. So he answered before Lao Liu: "In this way, Yi Yi would like to thank Uncle Yuan and Uncle Yuan for their kindness."
"This?" Lao Liu glanced at Liu Yiyi, and his complexion was a little unpleasant. Their Liu family and the Yuan family were not very familiar with each other, and they had not had a few interactions in total. How could they have received such a big gift from others?
"Dad, this is Uncle Yuan's intention, so don't refuse." Liu Yi didn't know what Lao Liu was thinking. Seeing Lao Liu looking at him, he explained: "Where is any nearby villages that are better than Uncle Yuan and others? Uncle Yuan is willing to help, so don't be polite."
Yuan Pei also persuaded him, "Yes, Brother Liu, you don't have to be polite to me. Compared with the help of Doctor Liu to our Yuan family, some ordinary furniture is nothing. Just accept it with confidence."
The eldest son had ever given them favors? Liu honestly glanced over Liu Yi and Yuan Pei's faces, thinking that it must be. As soon as they entered the door, Lao Liu noticed that Yuan Pei seemed to respect Liu Yi very much, and his behavior was a little more polite than that of him, the leader of the Liu family. Maybe Liu Yi had really given them any favors.
Since Liu Yi was beaten by Wang Shuai, Liu Yi has become a different person. He can read the text and write, know martial arts, and can also find some strange but practical things, such as bull's nose, bamboo meezi, and intestinal dysfunction that makes everyone have a headache. Anyway, Lao Liu is increasingly unable to see through his eldest son. Sometimes he even thinks, is Liu Yi still the reckless son he used to be?
However, Liu Laoshi was still happy from the bottom of his heart if he had such a change. After all, his son was capable, so who would be a father unhappy?
Lao Liu raised his hand and said to Yuan Pei: "Then it's a blessing for Brother Yuan. Today is a happy day for the engagement. Since Brother Yuan has caught up, he must not leave easily. Let's stay with me, Lao Liu, for a few drinks."
"I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate?" Yuan Pei couldn't help but look like Liu Yi. He came here mainly to withdraw money this time. Thirty cents of money are not a decimal. How dare he drink alcohol and stay with Liu's parents?
Liu Yiuan knew the reason, so he stood up and rescued Yuan Pei and said, "Dad, Uncle Yuan came to our house today to get some things. He has to hurry back later. You can't stay in our house for a long time, so don't force him." As he said that, Liu Yiuan smiled at Yuan Pei and said, "Please wait for a while. You will get the one you want. "
Seeing that Liu Yi was talking indifferently, Yuan Pei knew that Liu Yi had not let his family know about the opening of the workshop, so he stood up and cooperated and said, "In this way, then there will be a problem for Doctor Liu."
While speaking, Liu Yiuan took out half a bag of copper coins from the house and handed them to Yuan Pei and said, "Uncle Yuan, the thing is here. You can bring it back first. I will handle other matters tomorrow. Please rest assured Mr. Yuan. In addition, regarding the venue and manpower, please start Zhang Luo tomorrow."
Yuan Pei took the cloth bag, carried it on his shoulder, bowed to Liu Yi and replied, "Doctor Liu please rest assured. Our Yuan family will definitely not disappoint Dr. Liu. My father is still waiting for a letter at home, so Yuan will not disturb you anymore and say goodbye first." After that, Yuan Pei bowed to Liu honestly and said, "I have something to do today, so I can't get drunk with Brother Liu. I hope Brother Liu will forgive me. If I have time another day, Yuan will definitely come to have a few drinks with Brother Liu. Yuan said goodbye."
"Brother Yuan walks slowly!"
"Uncle Yuan walks slowly!"
The father and son sent Yuan Pei out. When Yuan Pei walked away, Lao Liu asked Liu Yi: "Yi, what are you doing with Yuan Fang and his son?"
