Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 171 The Final Engagement

In four more days, it will be the day of Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling's engagement. Xia's family and Chu's family are busy with the banquet for the two children's engagement. Because they are more anxious, they hurriedly notified their relatives and friends to come to attend at that time.

Xia Nuan was not idle at home. That day Chu Tianling took her to the city to buy things for her, and he didn't buy anything for himself. Tianling made more clothes to save money, and he wore the military uniform issued by the army every day.

Because of the limited time, Xia Nuan asked Chu Guoying to borrow the sewing machine in their room. It is no longer difficult for Xia Nuan to make clothes. The clothes she made for Chu Guoying before are very good.

Now making clothes for Chu Tianling, Xia Nuan's actions are more agile. From the pile of fabrics, Xia Nuan picked out the fabric suitable for Chinese tunic suits. She wanted to make a suit for Chu Tianling, but there was no one at this time. Wearing a suit is too different. The best clothes are the Chinese tunic suits worn by leaders.

Even in the 21st century, this Chinese tunic suit looks energetic and does not feel outdated at all. Chu Tianling's size is no secret in the eyes of Xia Nuan, who owns the system, and the fabric was cut soon.

Having a sewing machine is much faster than Xia Nuan's manual sewing. It took Xia Nuan two days to finally finish this Chinese tunic suit. Because it is a new dress, Xia Nuan carefully washed it with clean water, because There was still time for Xia Nuan to make two more sets of clothes for Chu Tianling.

One is for sleepiness and the other is more casual and can be worn at ordinary times. These two sets of clothes are not as troublesome as the tunic suit. Xia Nuan made all of them the day before the engagement. How could Xia Nuan's family not know about Xia Nuan's big movement.

Xia Nuan made clothes for his family. Although Xia Zhongguo was so sad, he had no reason to stop Xia Nuan from making clothes for his fiancé, and he also hoped that the relationship between the young couple would be good. Can be easier.

As for Wenhua, they have already taught Chu Tianling a lesson, and it's not that Xia Nuan hasn't made clothes for them, so they just feel sore and have no other thoughts.

Because it was just an engagement, I just invited my relatives and friends to come to participate. The Chu family and the Xia family had a total of six tables of banquets.

The banquet was prepared by the Xia family and the Chu family together. Of course, most of it was prepared by the man's family. It's not that Xia Zhongguo didn't take the money out, it's just that the engagement and marriage are a disadvantage for the woman, and there is no precedent for the woman to use money to hold a banquet. .

Xia Nuan has a great reputation in the village. She is not only pretty but also very smart. She has always been No. 1 in the exams since she was a child, and she is also very capable in earning work points and earning ten centimeters.

Many people in the village fell in love with Xia Nuan and wanted to say that they would make their son a daughter-in-law, but there was no way that Xia Nuan was still in school, and no one in the village knew that Xia Zhongguo regarded this daughter in his family as a treasure in his hands. So no one came to propose marriage.

As soon as the news of Chu Tianling and Xia Nuan's engagement spread, the hearts of many boys were shattered into powder. Many people regretted why they didn't propose a marriage in the morning, but Chu Tianling, an old cow, gave the latecomers the upper hand. up.

On the day of the engagement, Xia Nuan was thinking about which dress she should wear. After choosing and choosing, she finally chose a sky-blue knee-length dress that Chu Tianling bought for her, and she wore new leather shoes. Of course, the temperature was a little low in the morning, and she put on a thin coat outside.

As for the clothes Chu Tianling was going to wear today, Xia Nuan had asked Wenhua to send them to the Chu family the day before, and had specifically told him to wear the clothes he made himself. Since Chu Tianling joined the army, Xia Nuan Nuan really rarely sees him wearing anything other than a military uniform, let alone such a formal Chinese tunic suit.

Chu Tianling was very happy when he received the clothes. It was Xia Nuan's first time making clothes for him. Although he was not used to wearing Chinese tunic suits, he put them on happily.

Since they were not married, there were not so many rules. The banquet was held at the Chu family, and because they were all familiar people from their own family, neither the Chu family nor the Xia family invited anyone to help with this banquet.

Xia Nuan didn't have the consciousness of the protagonist and went directly to help in the kitchen. Her cooking skills are already at eight o'clock, which is better than that of ordinary small restaurant chefs. Originally, Xia Zhongguo and the others didn't want Xia Nuan to enter the kitchen. , but Xia Nuan said that it's not about getting married, but just inviting relatives and friends to dinner. There are not so many rules.

For example, Xia Nuan's third aunt and Chu's mother are all busy in the kitchen. How can Xia Nuan, a junior, sit and wait for dinner, and after the dishes are cleaned, someone does the chopping. Xia Nuan thinks She is only in charge of cooking and is not tired.

Seeing Xia Nuan's persistence, Wang Ximei and the others didn't say much. Of course, Chu Tianling also came into the kitchen to help. Today, I didn't invite anyone to help, and I had to do all the work myself. It was really busy.

Fortunately, there are two cooking stoves in the Chu family, and Xia Nuan is not alone in charge of cooking. Two people help to do it together. In addition, two temporary stoves were set up for steaming vegetables. After more than two hours of hard work, they finally finished cooking. All the dishes that should be done are done.

Today, Xia Nuan is the main character. She first prepared a few hard dishes. As for the small stir-fry, they can do it without any trouble. The room tidied up myself.

Father Chu stood up as the man's father after the banquet started, "Today is the engagement banquet for my son Tianling and Xia Nuan, brother Xia's daughter. I am very happy that everyone can come to have a cup of wedding wine. From now on, our Xia and Chu families will be one family." Alright, these are the dowry gifts from our Chu family."

Father Chu gave his sons a wink and told them to take out all their things. When they saw these betrothal gifts, all the relatives of the Xia family felt that the Chu family was really generous, especially the fourth son Xia was about to put his eyes on those betrothal gifts. After going up, Grandma Xia's eyes lit up when she saw the betrothal gifts.

Grandma Xia had the idea of ​​Xia Nuan's betrothal gift, but Grandpa Xia couldn't do anything to stop her, and Xia Zhongguo's family had been separated for many years, even if Grandma Xia had the cheek to ask Xia Zhongguo for these things, Xia Zhongguo would not He will not give these things, he will give them as dowry to Xia Nuan intact.

If Xia Nuan's betrothal gift was really moved, then Xia Nuan would be looked down upon by gossiping after she married into the Chu family. Xia Zhongguo.

Grandma Xia felt so regretful when she saw that stack of great unity. If she had known that Xia Nuan was so valuable, how could she be willing to split up the family? The sewing machine, the bicycle and the dowry gift of 200 yuan, You can marry two daughters-in-law in other people's homes.

There are not as many rules in Dafeng Village as in other places. The two parties are considered husband and wife after setting up a banquet. Nothing happened to the commotion, if Grandma Xia really started making a fuss at the banquet, Xia Nuan would really feel that her family's face was completely lost.

As for Grandma Xia and the others taking meat after the banquet, Xia Nuan and the others will pretend that they can’t see them. As long as the trouble is not too ugly, Xia Zhongguo and the others don’t bother to care about it too much. As for the Chu family, they all know Grandma Xia’s character. There won't be too many intersections so I didn't say much.

No matter what, Grandma Xia is an elder, and the Chu family can't say anything more, and they all regard those dishes as helping Chu Tianling to honor the elders.

Because Xia Nuan was only engaged and couldn't live in Chu's house, after the banquet, I sat down at Chu's house and got to know relatives and friends from Chu's side. After everyone got to know each other, Xia Zhongguo and the others went home. As for the sewing machine, it was brought back to Xia's house on a two-wheeled cart.

After returning home, the bicycle and sewing machine were wiped clean and put in Xia Nuan's room, and Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo also explained that no one is allowed to move around. The reason is that these things are new and should be well protected. It will take two years to get married, so I can't take the old things to Chu's house by then!

But Xia Nuan didn't think so, this thing was bought for use, two years before she got married, she couldn't put the sewing machine and bicycle at home as decorations, besides, this thing would get old even if it wasn't used. Yes, it's better to be more careful with it, and she doesn't care about small things like old and new.
