Chapter 23 Engaged
The chapter of the paving bureau has come to an end. After confirming the relationship with Latini, it is about to start entering the business world. This business world is not what domestically said about shopping malls like battlefields, but is truly full of bloody battles. The battle of energy has never been warm. The protagonist will also become a rookie and quickly enter the state.)
Jonas and Latini's love was blessed by all their families. Cecia and Hannah's appreciation for Ratini comes from her beautiful angel-like appearance and her gentle personality also satisfy them. Yankel and Yannik are a little irrelevant about this, as long as Jonas likes it himself.
Because they had not received Mohammed's consent, their love had not been known to the children who were visiting the farm, and even Latini's two brothers had not told them.
Taking advantage of the weekend, Jonas followed them to Mohammed's home in Zurich in the afternoon. Latini did not dare to take his car, but her second brother happily got on the Ferrari. He said with a smile: "I also have a Ferrari in Abu Dhabi. When do you have time? Go to my house for a visit. My Arabian purebred horse is better than your Andalusian horse."
When Muhammad came to visit, the gifts he brought were pure gold accessories, so they liked such gorgeous and precious gifts. Yonas visited, and the gifts should not be too light. When he learned that Muhammad liked brand watches, his friend Yanicotto bought a Rolex gold watch at a low price.
After receiving the call, Muhammad thought about Jonas's purpose for a long time, but he never expected that he would propose marriage with him. According to Arab customs, Jonas himself proposed marriage was not in accordance with the rules, but Muhammad was not used to it. He followed the local customs. In Europe, he forced it according to Arab customs.
Yonas proposed the marriage, but Muhammad did not answer immediately. He left Yonas in the living room and went upstairs to consult Latini's wishes. In fact, he also knew in his heart that if Yonas came to propose marriage, his daughter would definitely be satisfied.
Sure enough, Latini begged and said, "Dad, please promise him! Being with him is the root of my happiness."
"Are you ready to live in a pagan country?" Mohammed said, "
Latini nodded, not daring to say that he likes this kind of life more. Mohamed sighed, "Well, I'll convince your grandpa now that you can also call your mother and tell her about it."
The mother in Switzerland is not Latini's biological mother. As the first wife, her biological mother is the daughter of a tribal elder. She has always been responsible for the family's domestic social affairs, and of course, it is only between women.
Mohammed described the financial strength, interpersonal relationships, and the benefits that could be brought by marriage with his family to his father in detail, and finally convinced his stubborn father. Latini, who had been concerned, burst into tears happily. She knew that the biggest obstacle to her marriage was gone, and she excitedly called her mother.
Latini's two brothers then realized that Yonas wanted to be his brother-in-law, and they were very happy about this and had a close conversation with Yonas in the living room. Latini's second brother Abdullah kept describing that if the two families became in-laws, he would often go to Yonas's house to play and give Yonas an Arab thoroughbred horse.
Latini's eldest brother Hamad should be more stable. As the family's determined heir, he also knew that if he had a marriage relationship with Jonas, his family would have a closer relationship with the world's largest mineral trading group, and he would be happy to see it.
Mohammed finally got down from the upper floor and sat down, Zhengrong said to Yonas: "Mr. Hoffman, can you always respect our Muslim traditions and love my daughter?"
Jonas said: "Love is boundaries and nations. I am willing to respect your teachings and love your daughter."
"As a father, I allow you to date my daughter and hope you can entrust an introduction to discuss the details of the marriage with us."
Jonas said: "Mr. Mohammed, we don't know much about your rules, so I hope to get your guidance to be better prepared."
It was the first time Muhammad faced this situation. He didn't remember all the details about etiquette, but he had a vague impression. He told Jonas: "Our marriage process is generally divided into three steps: proposal, engagement, and marriage. After you go back, you ask your elders or influential people to discuss the engagement schedule with us, as well as the negotiation of dowry and dowry."
Jonas nodded and responded. Mohamed said with some concern: "Although you are allowed to date, you cannot have sex before marriage, you can only meet in public." Although he said this, Mohamed also knew that in Europe, these rules may not limit them, but he should remind them that you must never have sex before marriage. If you get pregnant without marriage, it will make the Mohamed family lose face.
Several people were talking in the living room, mainly to tell Yonas some work that needed to be prepared. The talk was almost done and it was too late. Yonas originally wanted to have a meal, but Mohammed didn't keep guests, just to drive him away.
"The rules of our Arab Muslims are not as complicated as you think. You are a Christian and a marriage partner allowed by Allah, so I agreed to your proposal. You can arrange the personnel as soon as possible after you go back to negotiate with me."
He gave a gold watch worth tens of thousands of yuan, but he didn't even care about the meal. Jonas was complaining in his heart, but he could only ask with a smile: "Sir, can I see Latini again before leaving?"
Mohamed nodded and said to Hamad, "Go and call your sister, and let's talk about her future arrangements."
Latini came downstairs soon, and when he saw Jonas, he smiled and waited for his father's teachings. Mohamed was already hungry, but this prospective son-in-law who didn't understand the rules would not leave, so how could he arrange a meal? When he saw his daughter, he said directly: "Latini, Mr. Hoffman is here too. I want to talk to you about your arrangements for you during the days before you and Mr. Hoffman got married."
Jonas said: "Sir. I think Latini is still young. At her age, she should still be in middle school. I asked Latini. Although she thinks she has mastered the knowledge of high school and can directly college, I don't know if your education level in the UAE is much different from that in Switzerland. So my suggestion is to study at least one year in middle school, and at this stage you can learn German and French well. After Latini graduates from university, we can get married."
Mohammed said, "This is impossible." He may feel that his tone is too stiff, and he said, "In our country, engagement and marriage cannot be separated by too long. Generally, it takes two years, and many people get married after one year of engagement."
"But Switzerland stipulates that the minimum age for girls to get married is 18 years old."
"Then you will get married when Latini is eighteen. This is my bottom line."
Jonas calculated that he had more than two years left before he agreed. He seemed to have forgotten his physiological needs, so he became anxious later and had to hold a Muslim wedding before he could live together legally in Switzerland.
As for Latini's academic arrangements, Jonas also wanted to find a school for Latini in Lucerne near his home, and could even pay Latini's tuition directly. Anyway, this was what he did in his previous life. However, Mohammed refused without saying a word, insisting that before getting married, everything about Latini was arranged by himself. It was only an hour's drive from Gelsau to Zurich, but he came quickly, so Jonas did not insist.
He left Zurich on hungry days, and along the way, Jonas complained about Mohammed's stinginess. When he returned home, he felt so hungry that he could eat a cow. Hannah prepared dinner for him, and he told his family about the successful proposal and how to arrange the subsequent arrangements.
Yannik said: "Then, I'll let Kane do these things, he's the most suitable person."
Kane was Jonas' godfather, and asked him to be an introducer. It was very appropriate to contact him, but as a Catholic, it was a bit difficult for him to marry a pagan. After Janik called him and made a request, Kane did not feel it was difficult and agreed readily.
The next day, Kane came to Switzerland from Frankfurt. After communicating with Jonas's family, he took Jonas to formally propose to Mohammed. Since Muhammed had agreed and was not reserved, he began to negotiate with Kane on the arrangement of the engagement.
According to Islamic rules, engagement should be arranged at the woman's house, and all the expenses were paid by Muhammad. However, the Yonas family also had to give a betrothal gift. The engagement betrothal gift they requested was generally gold jewelry. As the wealthy Yonas family, of course they did not feel embarrassed about this request, and agreed to three full sets of jewelry.
Given that engagement and marriage generally do not exceed two years, the engagement date was held around Latini's sixteenth birthday. They checked their zodiac auspicious days in Mohammed and set the time for a weekend in March of the following year.
Only after engagement will the details of the betrothal gifts and dowry and the arrangement of the wedding will be discussed in detail. According to Mohammed, Latini, as the eldest daughter of the first generation of the Mohammed family, will arrange a grand wedding.
Yonas took the time to send the general to a villa on the banks of Markridge's Lake. Sizhou Lake is Lake Lucerne, which is named after it is the lake at the junction of the four states. After Yonas came, he found out that Richi had a villa so close to his home. Although the area was not as big as the Jonas' home, the house was much new and there were many more rooms.
When Ritchie heard that Jonas was going to marry a wife who believed in Islam, he found it very interesting. He was a rare gossip and asked carefully about the details. Faced with Jonas' invitation, he agreed to attend his engagement without hesitation and also gave him a set of gold jewelry.
Arabs like gold very much. No ethnic group can compare with famous brands and gold. They have a strong paranoid attitude towards famous brands in food, clothing, housing and transportation. On the contrary, they have no interest in inconspicuous antiques.
First, Yonas' grandfather, grandmother and mother decided to make a full set of jewelry, but after notifying all relatives, the number of jewelry began to rise rapidly. You should know that the Hoffman family is a big family, Yankel has five siblings, and they have their own descendants. Although Yannik has four siblings, there are more than a dozen cousins, and Yonas's cousins are almost so many. They learned that the betrothal gift is rich in gold, and each of them has to give gold jewelry.
Although Jonas's grandmother's family is weaker, she can't stand many people. Seven uncles and aunts, dozens of cousins, they don't give a full set of jewelry, but if each one is one, the quantity will be too bad. According to the amount of gold that has been known now, Latini's small body will probably be crushed.
After the engagement was arranged, Yonas was about to start an internship at Glencore. He was originally scheduled to go to work on Monday, but because of the engagement, he was extended for a week. Yonas was also full of interest in working at Glencore. This company, even in later generations, was famous for its mystery.
