Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 415 The third sister is getting engaged!

Beiguan Village. Grilled Shabu Shop!
When Li Yi drove his car to the store, Long Zhanjun and others were busy.

Since Li Yeqiao was busy with An Hong and others at the cotton spinning factory during this period, Long Zhanjun was working as both a store manager and a financial officer, and he was as busy as a spinning top.

After Li Yi entered the door, he immediately called Long Zhanjun and his third sister Li Na over!
"Xiao Yi, if you have anything to do, please tell me immediately. I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative later!" said the third sister.

"Why go to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

“There’s not enough soy sauce in the store, I have to buy some!”

"Don't worry about the soy sauce. Let's talk about the two of you first!" Li Yi said.

Hearing this, Long Zhanjun and the third sister looked at each other, and both of their faces turned slightly red.

"Don't worry about our affairs, we can handle it ourselves!" said the third sister.

"I originally wanted to discuss the engagement with you. If you think it's unnecessary, then I won't care!"

Hearing this, the third sister quickly said: "It's necessary, who says it's not necessary!"

Li Yi immediately smiled and said: "My parents are going back in the next two days. Should you discuss it or get engaged first, so that we won't be frightened when you see us like this!"

"We are just in love, why does it make you so scared?" the third sister asked with eyes wide open.

"I'm not afraid that you won't be able to control it, but I don't want to see you get pregnant out of wedlock!" Li Yi said.

"You are not qualified to criticize me on this matter. I don't have the ability, but some people do."

Before Li Na could finish speaking, Li Yi hurriedly interrupted her: "Just tell me whether you want to get engaged. If you do, I will let my parents stay for two more days. If you don't have this idea, then I will send them back to the village tomorrow!" "

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Zhanjun said hurriedly: "Order, must order!"

"But the parents of both parties must be present during the engagement, but can your mother come over in such a short time?" Li Na looked at Long Zhanjun and said.

Although Li Na has never been engaged, she knows what to do when getting engaged.

Normally, it is best for parents of both parties to meet and discuss before the engagement party to discuss and decide in detail the engagement date, dowry, engagement banquet process and other engagement matters to avoid temporary disagreements and conflicts.

But she also understood the situation of Long Zhanjun's family. Although his mother and sister had completed operations, they were still recovering.

In addition, the fastest trip from Yongxian County to Jingcheng is three to five days.

With Long Zhanjun's sick mother and sister, it was really difficult to cross [-] kilometers to the capital.

However, Long Zhanjun looked at Li Na and said, "I have the final say in our family. If my mother can't come, she won't come!"

Long Zhanjun knew very well what Li Yi meant by saying this. He wanted a promise.

Of course, this may also be what Uncle Li and Aunt Li meant.

Therefore, if he wants to continue to get along with Li Na, he must get engaged.

Li Yi nodded and said: "The main purpose of the engagement is for you to give each other a promise and a guarantee. It is also to block other people's opinions, lest others say that you are acting hooligans and misbehaving, as long as you agree!"

"Then shall we treat everyone to a meal?" Li Na asked.

"This depends on your personal circumstances. If you want to keep things simple and wait until the wedding to have a nice meal, then just go home and have a meal; if you want to hold a larger-scale engagement ceremony, you have to put more effort into preparation. ." Li Yi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the third sister said directly: "Keep everything simple, everyone is very busy during this time!"

But Long Zhanjun shook his head and said, "No, this would be too unfair to you!"

"What's wrong with this? Just wait until we get married and have a big show!"

Then Li Na said again: "Xiaoyi, you bring your parents and Xiaoxue to the store in the afternoon. We will prepare a table of food. Brother Zhou will just go through the scene." Before Li Yi and Long Zhanjun could object, she said again: "Okay, this matter is settled, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative first!"

Then, in the stunned eyes of Li Yi and Long Zhanjun, they walked away gracefully!

After Li Na left, Long Zhanjun asked at a loss: "What should we do now?"

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Whatever you can do, just do it!"

"Okay, I'll go to the city in the afternoon to buy some things for the engagement, and buy some meat and vegetables. Although everything is simple, it can't be too simple!" Long Zhanjun said.

"I will take care of the banquet. This is what the woman should handle. By the way, I will be responsible for picking up my parents!"

Then Li Yi said again: "What you have to do is prepare betrothal gifts and gifts, including four-color gifts: cigarettes, wine, tea, and sugar. These must be double."

"There are also gift cakes, happy fruits, fish, meat, etc. All gifts must be wrapped with red thread or red paper, which is festive and auspicious."

Long Zhanjun nodded and said, "Okay! Just how much money should I prepare for the betrothal gift?"

"As long as it's normal, whatever gift you give will be given to my third sister in the end. Our family won't withhold a penny!" Li Yi said.

"okay I know!"

"Um"

After talking about the engagement, Li Yi did not stay in the store for long, and immediately returned to the courtyard in the city.

When Li Yi told his parents and Jiang Xue about the situation, everyone was stunned.

No one thought that Li Na would be so hasty and decide on the matter so easily, without even looking for a good and auspicious day.

But now that the matter was over, Li Shankui and Zhang Yuehong had no choice but to prepare.

Whether it is an engagement or a marriage, it is a matter for both parties. It is not only the man who needs to prepare, the woman also needs to prepare return gifts, engagement banquets, etc.

Later, after having lunch, Li Yi took his parents to the large shopping mall in the city, planning to prepare a return gift for Long Zhanjun.

According to local custom, when a betrothal gift is given in the south, the woman must immediately prepare a return gift.

Most of the women's return gifts are mainly clothes, one or two sets of clothes, a pair of shoes, or watches and other jewelry.

All in all, the specific items and amounts to be given are determined based on the financial situation of the woman’s family.

The conditions of the Li family are no longer comparable to those a year ago, and Li Na is the only one in the family who is not married. Naturally, Li Shankui and his wife do not want to wrong their daughter.

In addition, Li Yi was "fueling the flames" on the side, so after arriving at the mall, the family had a good time "shopping".

By the time the three of them came out of Wangfujing Mall, Jiang Longcheng's small jeep was already stuffed to the brim.

After buying the return gift, Li Yi did not go home, but took his parents directly to the store.

After arriving at the store, Li Yi immediately wrote a closure notice himself and posted it outside the store.

Afterwards, he directed Dongzi and others to get busy for the evening engagement ceremony.

As Long Zhanjun said, although the third sister planned to keep everything simple in order not to affect the store's business.

But as a younger brother, he can't keep everything simple. After all, whether it's engagement or marriage, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event for the third sister, so he can't be too rough.

Therefore, Li Yi directly decided to close the business at night, and then called his family over to witness the engagement ceremony of the third sister and Long Zhanjun!
