Sheng Xiping didn't mention the word fiancé, and Zhou Qingyang was in a better mood.
Upon hearing these three words, Zhou Qingyang's face became even more ugly.
"Hello." Zhou Qingyang extended his right hand towards Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping also stretched out his right hand, and the two held their hands together. Almost at the same time, they both exerted force at the same time.
Zhou Qingyang has been in the army for almost three years. He has been trained in the army and thinks that his hands are very strong. He wants to show Sheng Xiping a lesson.
Sheng Xiping has never been a soldier, but he is a man who lifts big logs. How can he be less strong?
I saw the two of them holding each other's hands, and neither one let go.
At first, the expressions of the two of them were quite relaxed, but gradually they became serious, and even a little bit out of control, with a ferocious look on their faces.
"Qingyang, what are you doing? Why are you still holding Xiping's hand and not letting go? Hurry up and ask Xiping to come into the house."
Zhou Mingyuan and his wife accompanied Sheng Liancheng and his wife through the door. When they looked back, their eldest son and Sheng Xiping were still standing in the yard.
The two people were standing there like wooden stakes, and their hands were still holding each other. Those who didn't know better thought they were frozen.
"Oh, I understand. Xiping, come into the house."
Zhou Qingyang glared at Sheng Xiping, then withdrew his strength and let go.
Sheng Xiping also let go at the same time, nodded towards Zhou Qingyang, and walked into the house.
When passing by Zhou Qingyang, Zhou Qingyang whispered.
"Be nice to Qinglan in the future. If you let me know that you are not good to her, see how I deal with you."
Sheng Xiping snorted, "Don't worry, you won't stand a chance."
Are you kidding me? He just wants to be nice to Zhou Qinglan when he comes back. How can he still feel sorry for her?
Regardless of whether what Sheng Xiping said was true or not, from the moment when the two of them were fighting to this moment, Zhou Qingyang felt that the boy in front of him should be able to make do.
Speaking of which, he didn't know what kind of partner his girl should find, but the one in front of him looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Since his sister wanted to get married, Zhou Qingyang had no choice but to do some planning beforehand.
Don't think that the Zhou family is easy to bully. With him here, no one can bully his sister.
"What are you two doing outside? Why don't you go inside to talk if you have anything to say? Why do you want Xiping to stand outside in this cold weather?"
The two young men entered the house from outside, and Wang Chunxiu glared at his eldest son.
"It's okay, Auntie, I'll chat with my elder brother for a while." Sheng Xiping smiled slightly and explained casually.
"Quickly, come and sit on the kang. We can chat as much as you like." Wang Chunxiu greeted the Sheng family very enthusiastically to sit on the kang.
Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping placed the things they brought on the Kang table.
"Cousin, cousin, this is the engagement gift prepared by the Sheng family.
As we said before, meat with two ribs, two bottles of wine, two boxes of snacks, and two fine-scaled fish.
In addition, the Sheng family's sister-in-law also prepared two pieces of fabric and two pounds of wool for Qinglan.
Leave it to make two clothes for Qinglan and knit a sweater."
Li Yuqin is the matchmaker, so she has to speak up at this time and introduce to the Zhou family what the Sheng family has sent.
"Also, this is the betrothal gift prepared by the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Sheng family. One hundred and sixty-six dollars. Everything will go well from now on."
Li Yuqin placed a red envelope on the two pieces of cloth and said with a smile on her face.
"Oh, brother Shanda, sister-in-law, you have brought too much, there is really no need for this."
Although Zhou Mingyuan and his wife had communicated through Li Yuqin before, they said there was no need to be so extravagant.
But they were really waiting for the Sheng family to send these things and money, and the couple was quite happy in their hearts.
I don’t want so many things and money because I don’t want to embarrass the Sheng family, and also for the sake of my daughter’s future in the Sheng family.
The Zhou family is not selling their daughters, and they can't do anything like taking advantage of the opportunity and asking for everything.
The Zhou family didn't want it, but the Sheng family gave it to her, which showed that they valued this marriage and Zhou Qinglan.
As parents, what they pay more attention to is the wishes of the Sheng family and whether their daughter can live a comfortable life after she gets married.
Now that I see it, there is no need to worry at all.
Zhou Qingyang, who had been looking at Sheng Xiping displeasedly over the other end, his expression softened slightly after seeing this.
I dare not say what will happen in the future, but for now, it seems that the Sheng family is definitely sincere.
This is enough, and life can be lived smoothly.
The Sheng family values and cherishes her on the one hand, and how Zhou Qinglan gets along with the Sheng family on the other.
If Zhou Qinglan married someone who was indulgent, domineering, and messy, her life would not be easy.
Of course, Zhou Qingyang believed that his well-behaved and sensible sister would not be able to do anything extraordinary even if she married into the Sheng family.
Today is no longer the old society, and the engagement process is so complicated.
Now it's basically just a meeting between the families of both parties, the man gives four kinds of gifts, and the parents of both parties discuss the wedding date and so on.
Afterwards, a banquet is prepared at the woman's house to entertain the matchmaker and the man's family, and this is considered an engagement.
Of course, when most families get engaged, the woman should invite her closest relatives, which can be considered as acknowledgment in advance.
But the family members of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Mingyuan are not here. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, it is hard for relatives to come all the way, so today the two families met for a meal.
Here, Wang Chunxiu accepted the Sheng family's things.
Then he turned around and took out a set of clothes and a pair of leather shoes that they had prepared for Sheng Xiping.
"Son, your uncle bought these clothes and shoes according to your size and shoe size when he was in the capital.
You put them on and try them on to see if they fit you."
When Zhou Mingyuan and his wife went to Qianchuan for a wedding banquet, Wang Chunxiu noticed Sheng Xiping's figure and asked about Sheng Xiping's shoe size.
On the way back, Wang Chunxiu was thinking about making clothes for Sheng Xiping.
It happened that when Zhou Mingyuan came back from his study abroad trip, he arrived in the capital first and then took the bus home.
Zhou Mingyuan took the time to go shopping and bought a set of clothes based on Sheng Xiping's figure and size.
This dress is a Chinese tunic style, made of blue-gray thin woolen fabric, the workmanship is very good, and the price is even better.
Those shoes were black leather shoes with three joints. They were single. There were no cotton leather shoes in these days. The style and workmanship were quite good.
Anyway, these two things cost Zhou Mingyuan a lot of money.
"Oh, look, you're talking about us, aren't you two spending less money?"
Sheng Liancheng took a look and knew that there must be a lot of money for these two things.
"He works in the mountains all day long, how can he have the opportunity to wear such good clothes and shoes?"
Of course, you should be polite when you should be polite.
"Brother, I asked you to say this, so Xiping will still be able to work in the mountains in the future? There will always be time to wear it.
He is now taller and taller, so he can keep these clothes." Zhou Mingyuan laughed when he heard this.
The Sheng family values Zhou Qinglan, and the Zhou family also values Sheng Xiping.
There has to be a return of favors. How can we say that we are just collecting things from the Sheng family and not getting anything out of them?
"That's true. You can keep your clothes and shoes and wear them slowly." Sheng Liancheng nodded.
People of this era don't pay much attention to styles and fashions.
As long as a piece of clothing is not torn and cannot be picked up, it will be worn all the time. In some cases, it will even be worn by the whole family.
It is not shameful to wear old clothes, but it is shameful to waste them.
