I live in the countryside

Chapter 210 Sincerity
The three cars drove into Qingxi Village together.

Tang Wan and his wife took one, and Qin Muzhou drove one to lead the way, while a large-capacity car followed behind. There were festive decorations on the car, so people could tell at a glance that it was related to a happy event.

Hearing the sound, Qiao Churan took her parents to the door, and saw Qin Muzhou's car stopped, Qin Zhong got off from the car behind, walked around, and got out of the car holding Tang Wan's hand.

Perhaps because of special circumstances, the three members of the Qin family are all dressed more formally today. Qin Muzhou is wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and even his hair is combed meticulously. Bottom, exquisite embroidery, a happy color.

When she got out of the car, she saw Qiao Churan coming out, she immediately let go of her husband's hand, and walked towards Qiao Churan: "Ranran."

Qiao Churan laughed: "Auntie has worked hard all the way."

Tang Wan held Qiao Churan's hand fondly, as if seeing her own daughter, "It's not hard, I'm too happy for such a great event."

Looking at Chen Mei who was standing beside Qiao Churan, she walked over with a smile again, and took Chen Mei's hand: "My in-laws! Today can be regarded as meeting."

Although Tang Wan also sent some things to Qiao's house after the two children made their love public, and Chen Mei also reciprocated and sent some special products there, but when they met for the first time, they were still shocked by Tang Wan's enthusiasm.

Chen Mei was a little caught off guard, she was usually able to speak well, but faced with Tang Wan's enthusiasm, she was a little speechless, as if she couldn't stand such enthusiasm.

The arrival of Qin Muzhou's family in such a mighty manner has already attracted the attention of the villagers. At this time, all the neighbors came over, and some of them learned from Chen Mei that today is the day when the Qin family came to hire people. Just looking at it, I knew that these two extraordinary-looking people were Qin Muzhou's parents.

It took Chen Mei a while to react, and she greeted people to enter the door with a smile: "Come in and sit down, let's stop standing outside."

The family entered the door.

Looking at Qiao's house, Tang Wan couldn't help but miss and said: "I lived in such a big house when I was a child. At that time, I sat with my parents, uncles and aunts. After several changes, the family members also changed. They were all scattered in four places, and I also left my hometown, and never lived in such a house again, thinking about it now, I still miss it.”

Chen Mei beckoned people to sit down, brought out the washed melons and fruits, and couldn't help laughing: "This house is almost 30 years old, it's been a while."

"The old house is good." Tang Wan smiled: "I remember when I was young, there was a nest of swallows in the main hall of my house."

"We used to have it too." Chen Mei smiled, pointing to a high place on the wall of the main hall, where there was a swallow's nest: "Then I don't know why, I flew away, I haven't come back for two years, I don't know Will you come back later?"

The two women who were about the same age talked speculatively, and Tang Wan was indeed a cheerful person, so she opened the chatter with the advantage of the house. After a while, Chen Mei and Chen Mei seemed to be old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. It seems that the words gradually opened up.

Of course, it is more about the two children.

Although Qiao Churan had heard Tang Wan complain about Qin Muzhou more than once, in fact, at this moment, she finally acted like a loving mother, speaking all good things for her son in front of her son's future mother-in-law.

What kind of person Qin Muzhou is, Chen Mei knows in her heart: "We naturally believe in Xiao Qin, we have seen each other often for so many days, and we know what kind of temperament he is. Don't worry about him."

Tang Wan is naturally happy that her son can get such affirmation: "This kid in Muzhou has been excellent since he was a child. Just like Ranran, his father and I have strict requirements on him. No matter what happens in the future, he must not be bullied. Ranran, when Ranran is married, his father and I will love her as our own daughter, anyway, the principle here is that even if Muzhou is wronged, Ranran cannot be wronged."

Chen Mei was naturally happy to be able to say this, but she still disapproved: "It's not that serious."

"That won't work." Tang Wan insisted: "Girls are the treasures of the family, and they can't be wronged. As women, we can empathize with you the most."

Chen Mei thought of the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after she married into Qiao's family, and hearing Tang Wan's words, she felt even more deeply in her heart.

There is no harmonious relationship between her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, which can make her feel at ease, not to mention the simple relationship of the Qin family. Now that Qin Zhong and his wife have moved to the south to settle down, they don't have those messy relatives. Regarding Qiao Churan's future life, Chen Mei generally agrees. Still satisfied.

Chen Mei said emotionally: "It is also fate that the two children can come together now."

Only then did Tang Wan happily come out with the gift list, and handed it to Chen Mei: "This is a betrothal gift. I discussed it with his father in Muzhou and drew up this list first. It is our Qin family's wish, and it is also based on your customs , A lot of things have been added, you can see if there is anything missing, if there is, add it as soon as possible, so that it can be perfect."

Chen Mei took the gift list and looked at it, and was shocked when she saw it.

The betrothal gift list made of red paper, on which is written about houses in the northern city, properties in other cities, and several properties purchased in the provincial capital, cars, gold, silver and jade jewelry, etc. These are all It was given to Qiao Churan, and this is just the sincerity of Tang Wan and Qin Zhong, not to mention, Qin Muzhou himself gave it, how can it be counted.

They were all things that she couldn't think of, and there were some things that Chen Mei couldn't even understand. All she knew was that these things were very precious, and a person like her might never see them in several lifetimes.

Tang Wan observed her words and added in a timely manner: "Ranran is worth it, but I'm afraid it won't be enough. Girls are treasures in the hands of their parents, and they are priceless treasures."

What else could Chen Mei say, and closed the gift list: "This is also Ranran's blessing."

Now that we've talked about this, the dowry gifts from the car should also be unloaded, and brought back one by one.

Although there are many things that cannot be taken out on the gift list, there are also many real objects.

Qin Zhong and Tang Wan specially found a car to transport these things.

The onlookers hadn't dispersed yet, so the movement outside was naturally seen. I saw boxes and boxes of things unloaded from the car, all sealed with red paper, but looking at the exquisite wooden box, one could guess Come out, the things inside must be very valuable.

According to the customs in Chaoyang County, there must be four things in the betrothal gift: red dates, longan, peanuts and pumpkin seeds are lacquer art, chicken, duck and pork legs are the second, wedding candy, wedding cakes and fruits are the third, and wine and tea are another item.

Logan prepared all of these, and the big ham that was brought down from the table was so intuitive that the onlookers couldn't shut their mouths.

I don't know how much envy I see in my neighbors' eyes.

But it's just envy. The eldest daughter of the Qiao family has excellent skills, so it's no wonder she can marry a good husband.

One by one, the dowry gifts were brought into the gate of Qiao's house and piled up in the front hall. There were also a lot of wedding candies on the table. Chen Mei directly let a few children in and took the wedding candies out to share. Churan and Qin Muzhou were no strangers, so they took a bag and called out bluntly, "Congratulations to Aunt Ranran and Uncle".

Hearing this, Tang Wan was in a great mood, as if it was the wedding scene of the two children now: "Well, we should almost fix the time, I read it, there will be a good day in February next year, why don't the two children get married early ?”

Isn't this only half a year?

But the custom in Chaoyang County is to get engaged first, skipping the step of getting engaged. Generally, the unmarried get pregnant first, and the child is married, or the girl is in a hurry to get married, and the boy is in a hurry to get married. Although Qiao Churan and Qin Muzhou doesn't meet these requirements at all, but it's inevitable that he won't be criticized in the future, and people will gossip about it, thinking that the Qiao family has taken a fancy to the Qin family's wealth and is eager to marry their daughter.

Although both Chen Mei and Qiao Zongming knew that this was not the case, they also knew that people's words were scary and wanted to follow the custom.

Seeing Chen Mei's expression froze for a moment, Tang Wan realized something.

At this time, Qin Zhong said: "The local customs are different, we also have to look at the customs of our in-laws, we can't make a rash decision."

Tang Wan reacted, "Look at me, I really like Ranran so much, I wish she could get married sooner, I didn't think carefully, I should ask about the customs of Chaoyang County, or should there be an engagement ceremony first?"

Chen Mei then said: "The customs here in Chaoyang County are indeed like this. I also thought about letting the two children get engaged at the end of the year. Now that you bring it up, it's just right. This time, we just happened to talk about it together."

Logan clapped her hands together: "Okay, let's follow the custom."

This is decent to the two families and to the children.

So next, the elders of the two families talked about the engagement of the two children.

Because of his work, Qin Muzhou will focus on Wuxi Town for at least the next few years. Therefore, no matter whether he and Qiao Churan are engaged or married, they will live in Wuxi Town for the next two or three years. For the engagement ceremony in Wuxi Town, they came here according to the custom of Wuxi Town, and invited relatives at home to have dinner together.

The future ceremony will also be held in Wuxi Town, so Tang Wan proposed to build a wedding house on the land of the town first.

The conversation was very happy, and the matter was settled for the time being. It was February, just in time for Valentine's Day, and the parents were discussing beside them. Qiao Churan and Qin Muzhou were like two outsiders.

Qiao Churan even lamented that in the past two years, I heard from friends in other universities that getting married was mostly about two families competing for the feathers, but she was as relaxed as if she was listening to other people's stories.

There is no sense of participation.

Of course, there was no sense of participation in this, and it was just his own opinion that Qin Muzhou would come up with an agreement after his parents agreed on the time and form.

"Uncle and aunt, this is an agreement I asked my lawyer to draw up. After I marry Ranran, if I do something to offend Ranran in the future, I will leave the house and leave everything to Ranran."

Not to mention Qiao Zongming and Chen Mei who were shocked, even Qiao Churan looked at Qin Muzhou in shock.

But seeing that his expression was very serious, Qin Zhong and Tang Wan's faces also showed expressions of clear approval.

Qiao Churan suppressed the shock in her heart, placed her hand beside her, and subconsciously grabbed the side of the skirt.

Chen Mei and his wife didn't react for a long time.

She didn't understand the other things, but in conclusion, she knew one meaning, Xiao Qin was giving her daughter all the guarantees for the future.

No matter how many guarantees Tang Wan said, they are actually not as solid as Qin Muzhou's agreement, which can directly hit people's hearts.

Chen Mei and Qiao Zongming didn't quite understand the meaning behind these words, but Qiao Churan did know that Qin Muzhou's social status was so high that he had bet his entire life on her.

However, how could she be willing to let him lose the bet?

Chen Mei came to her senses and said with a smile: "You child, what nonsense are you talking about. When you are together in the future, life will definitely be peaceful and beautiful."

Speaking of which, this marriage is almost done, and it's almost time for dinner. Qiao Zongming went to the town at seven o'clock in the morning to buy the freshest meat and came back. Before Qin Muzhou's family came, It was already cooked, and while they were talking outside, the soup in the kitchen was already simmering. At this time, the husband and wife went to the kitchen to cook quickly, and they were ready for lunch.

In just two or three hours, Qingxi Village was neither big nor small, but the story of Qin Muzhou's appointment to Qiao's family was almost spread.

After lunch, at nearly one o'clock, Qin Muzhou and Qiao Churan took Tang Wan and his wife for a walk around the village, went to Yingbo's house to meet someone, and then went to the base and the shed that was almost built.

After walking around like this, the people of Qingxi Village don't know who this is?
I ran into Qin Muzhou on the road, and couldn't help coming over to say hello to anyone I knew a little bit. His eyes were on Tang Wan and Qiao Churan's arms holding each other. Looking at it, they didn't look like future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but sisters.

No, sisters may not be able to be so close in the countryside.

As a result, some words about the eldest daughter of the Qiao family and her future mother-in-law and sisters began to be talked about in the village again. When Qiao Churan heard it, she couldn't laugh or cry.

In fact, Tang Wan is not pretending, she really likes Qiao Churan, whether it is character or appearance, she likes it to the bottom of her heart, and she wants a daughter, but her health can't do it, and now she treats her daughter-in-law as a treasure .

Qin Muzhou was naturally happy to see the success, and was not in a hurry to rob his own mother for a wife for two days.

The father and son walked behind, talking about work matters from time to time, and it was fun.

Although Qin Muzhou came to hire today, the two workaholics only took half a day off. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they went back to work normally.

Taking Qin Zhong and Tang Wan back to Qin Muzhou's place, they went directly to the Agricultural Economics Society without changing their clothes.

She has obviously put on special make-up, and her face is also radiant, exuding a "sour smell" of love. Naturally, everyone can see such an obvious change. Seeing Qin Muzhou and Qiao Churan, they all flirt and Su Su looks at each other Looking at the two of them, they teased, "Sister Ran and Brother Qin, what good thing happened today?"

Qin Muzhou directly brought out a bag of wedding candy to Susu: "Take it and share it with everyone, so that you can enjoy my happiness."

Susu gave an exaggerated wow: "You have received your certificate!"

Qiao Churan: "..."

Qin Muzhou coughed lightly: "No, I'm hiring today, and I'm engaged after a year. I invite you to attend."

Susu: "..."

Harmful!Even if Brother Qin was hired, he could still make it look like he was married to him. This way of showing affection has not been withdrawn.

Susu ran all over the Agricultural Economics Society with a bag of candies in her arms.

In less than 3 minutes, the news spread throughout the Agricultural Economic Society, so that Qiao Churan saw everyone today, and someone congratulated her, making her feel as if she was really married.

However, it seems to be about the same, the only difference is the certificate, it seems that there is no difference.
