The wedding date was roughly determined, and both families were relieved, so they drank tea and chatted.
Zhang Shuzhen and Li Yuqin felt uncomfortable sitting here, so they wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but Wang Chunxiu and her daughter drove them back.
After a while, the food was ready.
So he stepped aside, served eight dishes and one soup, and invited the Sheng family to sit down.
At times like this, you definitely need to drink some.
Men drink white wine, but women can't drink, so just have some soda.
No matter what you drink, the main thing is the atmosphere.
All the food was on the table and the wine glasses were filled. At this time, Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan were holding wine glasses and toasting one by one.
First, he paid respect to the Sheng family and his wife. Zhou Qinglan respectfully called her parents.
Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen hurriedly took the wine glasses and drank. Zhang Shuzhen casually took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Zhou Qinglan's hand. This was money to change her mind.
If it were left to the future, the money to change the name would be a few thousand at least, and even more would be tens of thousands. Now we don’t need that much, just put a few yuan in the red envelope.
After paying homage to Sheng Liancheng and his wife, he turned around and paid homage to Zhou Mingyuan and his wife.
This time it was Sheng Xiping's turn and he called Zhou Mingyuan and his wife "parents" very respectfully.
Then, Wang Chunxiu also took out a red envelope and gave it to Sheng Xiping.
After toasting and changing the words, the engagement ceremony is completed.
Next, Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan toasted the matchmaker with a glass of wine, thanking the matchmaker for a happy match.
After that, the two of them took their seats before the banquet started.
"In-laws, come and have a drink with us. The first time I saw you, I felt particularly irritated.
You said that our two families, one is in Qianchuan Forest Farm and the other is in the town. If the two children were not in love, where would we get to know each other?
From now on, we will be the in-laws of our children, so no matter what happens at home, you must tell us."
Zhou Mingyuan was very happy and insisted on having a few more drinks with Sheng Liancheng.
Sheng Liancheng is also happy that his son is engaged.
Besides, if his in-laws want to drink with him, how can he refuse?
So the two of them went back and forth and started drinking.
On the other side, Wang Chunxiu, Zhang Shuzhen, and Li Yuqin also held cups filled with soda and clinked them.
"Yu Qin, thank you for being such a great matchmaker and making this marriage possible."
"I don't dare to be a matchmaker. I am Qinglan's aunt, and I also watched Xiping's son grow up.
They are both good boys, and they deserve this fate." Li Yuqin also laughed, and the three of them drank the soda in their cups.
Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan were the protagonists of today's engagement party, and they sat together.
Zhou Qinglan had a gentle and sweet smile on her face, lowered her head, and quietly looked at Sheng Xiping beside her.
Sheng Xiping noticed the eyes of the people around him and couldn't help laughing. He reached out and held Zhou Qinglan's hand.
Although the two of them didn't have much chance to get along today, he knew that Zhou Qinglan was happy.
Not only Zhou Qinglan was happy, Sheng Xiping was also full of joy at the moment.
The girl he has longed for is finally going to become his wife, how wonderful is it?
"Ahem, Xiping, come on, let me toast you."
At this time, the brother-in-law who was causing trouble suddenly picked up the wine glass and said something.
Sheng Xiping raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhou Qingyang. He saw some displeasure on his future brother-in-law's face.
Haha, this brother-in-law must have been unhappy when he saw him holding his wife's hand.
"I should give you a toast, brother, thank you for your hard work.
You braved the wind and snow outside to protect your home and country. You are a true hero.
I, Sheng Xiping, am incompetent and cannot serve as a soldier, so I can only offer my eldest brother a cup of wine.
Don't worry, brother, I'm still at home, if anything happens to my parents, I will definitely not refuse."
Sheng Xiping admired people like Zhou Qingyang from the bottom of his heart, he was a bloody man and a man.
As for Zhou Qingyang's hostility, it's quite normal. Since ancient times, the relationship between my uncle and my brother-in-law has been very harmonious.
No one can be so affectionate to a guy who kidnaps his own girl.
Sheng Xiping also had two younger sisters at home. Sheng Xiping couldn't calm down when he thought about Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei being abducted by those two bastards in the future.
They all have the same mood, so no one should laugh at anyone else.
People from the Northeast have a saying, "It depends on the person."
After getting along for a long time and getting to know each other's temperament and behavior, things will gradually get better.
Sheng Xiping's words actually softened Zhou Qingyang's attitude somewhat.
In fact, he just has this awkward attitude that he hasn't come around yet.
I always feel that Sheng Xiping just kidnapped his sister while she was in Qianchuan, far away from home and helpless, and said some sweet words and so on.
In the past few days after returning home, Zhou Qingyang heard his parents talk a lot about the Sheng family.
Coupled with his observations today, it can be seen that the Sheng family is good at people and life, and this kid Sheng Xiping is also good at it.
Now, Zhou Qingyang just needs some time to slowly change his mind.
"What you said really makes me ashamed.
I'm not a hero, but I'm so capable. It's my duty to defend the country." Zhou Qingyang shook his head.
"I'm far away from home and can't go home easily. I really can't take care of myself at home.
Qingyue is still young and doesn't understand anything. From now on, this family may really require you to put more thought into it.
Come on, let’s not talk about who is toasting whom, let’s drink this cup together.”
Protecting the family and the country is a passionate man's lifelong dream.
It is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. If you protect everyone, you will inevitably neglect the small family.
How can there be no choice in life?
From the moment they put on these clothes, it was destined that they could only leave their small family to take care of everyone else.
"Okay, let's have this drink."
Sheng Xiping smiled, clinked their glasses with Zhou Qingyang, and drank the wine in one gulp.
People say that wine is a bond between men to communicate with each other, and sometimes it is true.
The two people who were initially unhappy with each other gradually changed their impressions of each other as they drank.
After the drink is over, the two of them may become good buddies by hooking up with each other.
Anyway, Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qingyang really changed their appearance by the end of the drink, talking and laughing as if they had been good friends for many years.
The two siblings Zhou Qinglan and Zhou Qingyue next to them were dumbfounded.
Especially Zhou Qingyue, he was dumbfounded.
Before, I saw the two of them fighting each other in the yard, but how could they be fine in just a short time?
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.
Zhou Qingyue shook his head and sighed. The adult world is too complicated for him to understand, so he might as well eat.
There were so many delicious things in front of him, but he couldn't usually eat them, so he just continued to eat without asking any questions.
If you talk too much, you will get beaten easily. This is the experience accumulated over many years.
This meal was quite lively and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In the end, Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Lian Chengdu drank a lot and became a little confused.
Zhang Shuzhen saw that it was getting late, so she said goodbye and left.
The Zhou family couldn't persuade her to stay, so they had no choice but to send her out as a family. After chatting for a while at the gate of the Zhou family, the Sheng family left.
Sheng Xiping and Zhang Shuzhen supported Sheng Liancheng and returned to the hotel to rest with Li Yuqin.
