Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "This marriage is not for others to see. I don't care what others think."
After Liao Gufeng finished speaking, he saw that Qiao Liang's father seemed a little confused about this, so he thought for a while and said, "Brother Qiao, let's do this. If you insist on giving a bride price, then just give it a dollar. We can just accept a dollar gift."
Qiao Liang's father was stunned, "One dollar gift?"
Liao Gufeng nodded, "Yes, a one-dollar gift."
Liao Gufeng obviously didn't want to waste time on such a trivial matter that seemed inconsequential to him. He waved his hand and said, "That's it for the bride price. Let's talk about what to do at the engagement party."
Qiao Liang's father looked at Liao Gufeng and saw that Liao Gufeng really didn't care about the bride price, so he stopped talking and waited for what Liao Gufeng would say next.
Liao Gufeng continued, "Brother Qiao, considering that I have to invite some friends from Beijing to attend the engagement banquet, many of them cannot come to Jiangzhou specifically due to work reasons, so I hope that our engagement banquet will be held in
It will be held in Beijing, and it may be
I need to trouble my brother and you and your wife to go to the capital. Of course, Jiangzhou will also have one at the same time. We will do both. As for whether the engagement banquet in Jiangzhou will be held in the city or in Qiaojiayu, this
It depends on what you want, Brother Qiao."
Qiao Liang's father nodded after hearing this and said, "This is fine, it depends on what you want. It's all fine with me."
In the view of Qiao Liang's father, it is natural for the woman to hold an engagement party. This request made by Liao Gufeng is reasonable and reasonable. In fact, Liao Gufeng does not need to discuss this kind of matter with them. Qiao Liang's father will now deeply feel that Liao Gufeng treats them
of respect.
Seeing that Qiao Liang's father had no objection, Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "Brother Qiao, is it settled then?"
Qiao Liang's father nodded, he had no objection to this at all. At this time, Qiao Liang hesitated, seeming to have something to say.
Liao Gufeng looked at Qiao Liang, "Xiao Qiao, what are your different views?"
Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Liao, I agree that the engagement banquet should be held in the capital, but I wonder if there is no need to hold it again in Jiangzhou? I think one engagement banquet is enough, there is no need to have two.
field."
"This..." Liao Gufeng didn't expect that Qiao Liang didn't want to hold an engagement party in Jiangzhou. He didn't insist on this, but he didn't know if his daughter Lu Qian would have any ideas. He turned to look at her and said, "Xiao Qian, you
What? Do you have any opinion?"
Lu Qian smiled and said, "I don't have any objections. I just follow your arrangements."
Lu Qian was completely immersed in joy at this time. Lu Qian didn't care at all about the engagement party. As long as Qiao Liang gave a clear attitude and was willing to be with her, Lu Qian felt extremely happy and had no requirements for anything else.
.
Liao Gufeng looked at his daughter's silly smile and sighed helplessly. His daughter really liked Qiao Liang to the core. At this time, Liao Gufeng finally realized why the ancients said that a married daughter threw water on her. He really agreed.
In a word, there is no chance for a female college student to stay.
Knowing that he couldn't get any advice from his daughter, Liao Gufeng looked at Qiao Liang's father again, "Brother Qiao, what do you think of what Xiao Qiao said?"
Qiao Liang's father was speechless for a moment. He didn't know why his son didn't want to have an engagement party at home. As a parent, his son was getting engaged. He obviously wanted Fengfengguangguang to have an engagement party. After all, it was a big happy event.
It's not something shameful, but his son doesn't want to do it. Although Qiao Liang's father doesn't know what his son thinks, he certainly can't object to his son's words in this meeting.
Thinking in his mind, Qiao Liang's father said, "Just do what Liang Zi said. There is no need to do two. It's a bit extravagant and wasteful."
Liao Gufeng gave Qiao Liang an intriguing look, nodded and said, "Then according to your wishes, the engagement party here in Jiangzhou will not be held, and we will organize it properly when we get married."
Seeing that Liao Gufeng agreed, Qiao Liang was quietly relieved. He didn't want to do it here in Jiangzhou. It was mainly related to his current mentality. Firstly, Qiao Liang didn't want to make it known to everyone yet. Secondly, it was Qiao Liang's.
His pride was at work and he didn't want people to say that he was a softie. As soon as the news of his engagement to Lu Qian spread,
Others will definitely say that Qiao Liang took a fancy to the power in Lu Qian's family and married Lu Qian in order to climb up the ladder. Qiao Liang does not want to suffer such criticism. But Qiao Liang also knows very well that this kind of criticism will definitely be inevitable in the future.
Yes, sooner or later he will have to adjust his mentality to face it, but it will take him some time to adapt.
The most important aspect is that Qiao Liang has not yet figured out how to face other women. Regarding his engagement, he has now told Ye Xinyi. Others, Qiao Liang, have not yet said it, but this matter
He has no way to escape. Since he has had emotional entanglements with other women in the past, he should take the responsibility of a man now and take the initiative to make it clear instead of evading all the time. He can't wait until he gets married in the future while other women are still in the dark.
In the dark, what kind of man is he, Qiao Liang?
In the following time, the two parties discussed some details, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Liao Gufeng's trip to Jiangzhou was actually more important to visit Qiao Liang's parents to express respect for Qiao Liang's parents. About the engagement, Liao Gufeng's
There was only one requirement, and that was to hold an engagement banquet in the capital. There were no other requirements. There was no way Qiao Liang's parents could have any objections, because Liao Gufeng was more talkative than they expected.
After the two sides chatted, they had lunch at the hotel. Liao Gufeng proposed to go to Qiaojiayu for a walk in the afternoon. Qiao Liang's parents happily agreed. They did not dislike them at all. Qiaojiayu was a remote place.
After lunch, everyone went to Qiaojiayu together. Liao Gufeng sat at Qiao Liang's house for more than half an hour, and then everyone left Qiaojiayu together.
When he returned to the city, it was already evening, and Liao Gufeng also received a call from Zheng Guohong. He was already on the highway and told Liao Gufeng that he would arrive in more than half an hour.
Liao Gufeng had to have dinner with Qiao Liang's parents first in the evening, so he made an appointment with Zheng Guohong to meet at the resort hotel in the hot spring town after eight o'clock.
When Liao Gufeng answered the phone, Qiao Liang heard it from the side and vaguely heard the words "Comrade Guohong", so he knew it was Zheng Guohong's call and said to Liao Gufeng, "Uncle Liao, if you have anything to do, go and do it first.
Don't worry about my parents."
Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "How can this be done? When I come to Jiangzhou this time, your parents are the most distinguished guests. Everything else is not important."
Qiao Liang said quickly, "Uncle Liao, you have already had dinner with my parents at noon, so there is no need to worry about it in the evening."
Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "At noon, it should be said that your parents are accompanying me for dinner. You, I already told you that you don't need to ask your parents to come to the airport to pick you up, but you still let them come."
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "It's right for my parents to come to pick me up at the airport, otherwise there would be no etiquette at all."
Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I will have a drink with your parents in the evening. After dinner, you go to the hot spring town with me. Comrade Guohong is coming, and you go with me to see him."
"
Hearing Liao Gufeng's words, Qiao Liang secretly thought, and sure enough, he heard correctly just now, it was Zheng Guohong who came to Jiangzhou. Qiao Liang thought that Zheng Guohong knew Liao Gufeng's itinerary well. As soon as Liao Gufeng came to Jiangzhou, Zheng Guohong knew it immediately, but also
It cannot be ruled out that Liao Gufeng took the initiative to tell Zheng Guohong.
At this time, Liao Gufeng's cell phone rang again. It seemed that it was a call from his subordinate in Beijing. Liao Gufeng walked aside to answer the call.
Qiao Liang's eyes were a little sour when he saw Liao Gufeng's busy look. This afternoon, when Liao Gufeng was going to Qiaojiayu, the phone rang from time to time, and it seemed that they were important calls that he had to answer. Liao Gufeng walked to Qiaojiayu every time.
Go aside to answer the phone.
Throughout the afternoon, Liao Gufeng gave Qiao Liang the impression of being busy. This made Qiao Liang secretly moved. Liao Gufeng really took time out of his busy schedule to come here. In fact, he didn't need to come at all, because the details of the engagement discussed today were actually all.
There was nothing important to talk about. Liao Gufeng didn't make any requests except for an engagement banquet in the capital. These could be communicated on the phone, but Liao Gufeng came in person. This was undoubtedly out of respect for his parents.
When Liao Gufeng answered the phone at the side, Lu Qian smiled and held Qiao Liang's arm, almost clinging to Qiao Liang. Ever since she found out that Qiao Liang agreed to the engagement today, she acted like a nymphomaniac and her eyes were blank.
After leaving Qiao Liang, the eyes looking at Qiao Liang were full of love.
Lu Qian's mother watched it all afternoon, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. She patted her daughter and said, "Xiao Qian, can you stop being so clingy to Xiao Qiao? There will be a long time to come, and you are still afraid that Xiao Qiao will fly away."
Is it done?"
Lu Qian giggled and did not respond to her mother's words. She just pressed closer to Qiao Liang.
Lu Qian's mother smiled bitterly when she saw this. In the past, her daughter gave her the impression of being independent and carefree, like a boy. But in front of Qiao Liang, her daughter seemed to be a completely different person, that kind of little girl.
The gesture came out naturally, which made Lu Qian's mother extremely helpless. She was afraid that her daughter would have to be manipulated by Qiao Liang in the future. She only hoped that Qiao Liang would treat her daughter better in the future.
When the group went to the hotel for dinner, they were at the club where Xu Honggang usually stayed. Xu Honggang, who was doing research in Shizhong District in the afternoon, did not return to the city compound after finishing his trip, but went directly to the club.
In the private room of the club, Wei Xiaobei and Zhang Tianfu were both there. They came in advance, and when they saw Xu Hong had just arrived, they both stood up.
"Sit down, we are all our own people." Xu Honggang waved his hand.
Wei Xiaobei and Zhang Tianfu sat down after hearing this, and they exchanged glances. Then Wei Xiaobei asked, "Mayor Xu, how come the negative public opinion about Qiao Liang's drunk driving on the Internet was suppressed so quickly? We
But I spent a lot of money to get trolls to hype it up, but it didn’t create any splash.”
Hearing Wei Xiaobei talk about this, Xu Honggang felt a little angry.
