Chapter 285 Preparing the Betrothal Gift
In fact, neither of them thought much about it, they just thought that the eldest sister didn't want to cook and was lazy.
This is okay, they are younger sisters, and the eldest sister usually takes good care of them. They should take care of the eldest sister, and they are happy to do so, so the two of them will tease the eldest sister and make jokes.
But someone who had done something wrong felt guilty. She touched her face in embarrassment and thought, she didn’t do anything too unforgivable, so she just gave her a hug and a kiss!
In addition, I am in a good mood after seeing a beautiful man, so I am said to be elated? My face is rosy? Am I that exaggerated?
"Hehe... Isn't it just that taking medicine will make your complexion better?" She chuckled guiltily, "Eat, eat! This porridge is really delicious.
The three sisters here are joking and having fun.
As soon as Zhang Yuan left the space, he found someone knocking on the door.
"What's the matter, Sister Kang?" Zhang Yuan hurriedly opened the door and saw that it was the family's nanny, Kang Chunmei, whom he had met on the train when he came back.
"The old man is looking for you! Come down and take a look!" Mrs. Kang smiled from ear to ear.
She also heard that the old man and the old lady were going to hire a young lady to marry her back. This was a great thing. She hadn't seen Xiaoxue in several years, and her daughter still asked about her from time to time.
"Got it!" Zhang Yuan responded, closed the door and went out.
"Xiaoyuan! Come here quickly! Help grandma choose, what should I give as a gift now? It's not like when I married your mother, I don't want to do that now, and I don't know what to give!"
As soon as the old lady saw her eldest grandson coming down, she quickly waved him over to choose the betrothal gift.
At this time, all the good things collected by the old lady were moved down and placed in the living room.
There are all kinds of headdresses, jewelry, all kinds of good fabrics, screens and embroidery, as well as some famous paintings and calligraphy.
Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw it. When did grandma collect so many things? He thought that the box of jewelry given to the little girl as a meeting gift was grandma's entire collection, but it turned out there were so many more.
"Grandma, these things are not practical at all, and you can't wear them now. Besides, if you bring those embroidery, calligraphy and paintings, you might cause trouble for Xiaoxue! It's better not to make any fuss!" Zhang Yuan sat down, he had been doing this for several times in a row.
I haven’t had a good night’s sleep, and my eyelids were twitching, but after I just entered the space, I felt very energetic.
"Then what should we prepare?" The old lady was a little numb, and she had no experience.
"Grandpa has prepared a bride price of ten thousand and one, do you think it's okay? Pick one out of ten thousand!" The old man also intervened at this time.
"That's a good number! She's the one-in-a-million daughter-in-law!" The old lady was interrupted by the old man and started talking again, forgetting what she was worrying about just now.
"Grandpa and grandma, Xiaoxue will continue to study after we get married, so I plan to buy a house near the school to get married. But don't worry, we will be back on the weekend. You two will just decide on the bride price. Pick one in a million, this is good!
As for the betrothal gift, grandma, your calligraphy, paintings, embroidery and the like are too impractical, so put them away! And those old antique headdresses are of no use either. Who would wear a hairpin now?" Zhang Yuan picked them up one by one.
Pick out the ones that are impractical.
"Okay, then these won't be regarded as betrothal gifts. They will be kept for my grandson-in-law to keep at the bottom of the box. Then these gold bracelets, jade bracelets and the like should be fine, right?" The old lady immediately pushed aside everything the eldest grandson said was no good, and then
Ask.
"Okay!" Zhang Yuan nodded, "By the way, grandma, when Xiaoxue and her friends get married, the man will give them four gifts: pork, sugar, tea and snacks!"
Zhang Yuan actually didn't understand. He just lived in the countryside and saw other people getting married. They all gave him gifts like this, so he reminded his grandparents.
"Okay, okay, okay, grandma has written it down. It's true, we have to follow the customs over there!" The old lady pointed her finger to remember, then looked at her eldest grandson, "Grandson, what about this pork?
How much sugar, tea and snacks should we prepare?"
"Yes! You have to make this clear! How much should we prepare? It's not rude to be fully prepared when the time comes, right?" The old man also looked over.
"This...I don't know either!" Zhang Yuan's claws were also numb. How did he know? Should he ask his wife about this kind of thing? He was embarrassed to ask, so he said, "You guys just watch and prepare! My husband
Everyone is easy to talk to, so they shouldn’t be too picky!"
The two elders stared at each other, is there such a grandson? Why are they so busy? Isn't it because of his marriage? Now this is the time to let go.
"Xiaoyuan! I don't know if Xiaoxue is waiting for you now. We have lost etiquette again. If Xiaoxue is not waiting for you then, wouldn't that make things worse?" The old lady said earnestly, "Xiaoyuan, could it be that you are no longer here?"
Do you like Xiaoxue? In this case..."
"Grandma, I don't want anyone except Xiaoxue in this life!" Zhang Yuan spoke loudly before the old lady finished speaking.
Originally, the old lady wanted to say that although she liked Xiaoxue very much, she could accept it if her grandson didn't like it. In the end, they only had one position, and that was the eldest grandson, and everyone else would stand aside.
But it seems that the eldest grandson has a deep love for Xiaoxue. The old couple looked at each other and immediately began to carefully prepare the betrothal gift. There must be no mistakes in this matter. Xiaoxue must wait for their grandson!
Otherwise, what will their eldest grandson do?
Just when the old couple was carefully preparing the betrothal gift, Kang Chunmei walked in.
"Master, the master and his wife are here with three young masters and ladies!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Haijun came in with Lin Cuifen, two sons and daughter.
Lin Cuifen immediately saw the good things placed in front of the two old men on the ground, and her eyes widened.
She knew that the old lady had some good things, but she didn’t expect that there were so many, and she didn’t know what the old couple were doing. Why did they blatantly take out all the things and toss with them?
Looking again, Zhang Yuan was sitting between the two people. Lin Cuifen's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't he outside all the time? When did he come back? Why did the old couple take out all the good things they had collected as soon as they came back? What did they want to do?

In just a short moment, Lin Cuifen had already thought of many possibilities.
Zhang Haijun didn't have so many twists and turns, so he walked to sit on the sofa opposite the old man, and then spoke.
"Dad, Mom, Tingting has just been transferred back. Let's bring the children over to see you! Is Xiaoyuan willing to come back?"
The old man glanced at his son and nodded. Now he is in a good mood and does not care about his son. After all, he is his own son and he is also an only child. The old man still cares about his son.
"Dad!" Zhang Yuan said and took care of him. He just sat there without giving up his position to Lin Cuifen. Lin Cuifen gritted his teeth.
How much she wanted to sit in Zhang Yuan's seat and take a closer look at the old lady's treasures.
