The activity of gathering five blessings was like a fire, igniting the enthusiasm of the masses, which was even higher than the original enthusiasm for stealing food. However, after Su Wang planned this activity, he did not continue to pay attention because he had more important things.
To do.
got engaged!
January 16, 2011, an auspicious day!
This was the engagement date chosen by the parents of Su Wang and Tang Jin. Although the Tang family was not from Shangrao City, for the sake of convenience, the engagement ceremony was still held in Shangrao City.
According to local customs, Su Wang returned home on the 13th and started preparing the betrothal gift and three gold coins. Of course, with Su Wang's current net worth, he naturally did not need to worry about these things.
Just fine.
As for Tang Jin, he also returned to Shangrao City, but he was unable to meet Su Wang these days. The two could only chat on the phone and were not able to meet until the day of their engagement.
However, before getting engaged, Su Wang still had one thing to be busy with, and that was to accompany his uncle.
According to local customs, it is the uncle who gets engaged and gets married first. This custom is the same in most parts of the country. Su Wang once curiously studied the reasons and came up with a few conclusions.
First of all, the first point is that in ancient times, when getting engaged or getting married, the woman's parents could not see her off, so as an uncle, she is the representative. As for why it is an uncle and not an uncle, the reason is very simple. The uncles and uncles are the family members to a certain extent, and there may be some
Conflicts of interest, and the sharing of family property among the older generation, lead to conflicts of grudges and conflicts.
But uncles are different. Uncles are from outside the family, and it is more of a family relationship. So if you observe carefully, you will find that many people are closer to uncles, which is far better than uncles and uncles.
Of course Tang Jin has uncles, and there are quite a few of them. There are three uncles in total, and they all arrived this time. So on the 14th, Su Wang drove to the Tang family in person to pick up these three uncles.
In the next three days, these three uncles will eat and drink at his house until the engagement day, and then follow the engagement procession back to the woman's home.
As for why it is three days, this also comes from past customs. In the early days, because there were no cars, many times if the two parties were marrying far away, even if they were in the same county, it might take a day to walk by car, so naturally they could not travel by boat.
Laodun entertained his uncle, so the saying "three days" came into being.
Nowadays, because of the advent of cars, transportation has become more convenient, but this custom has not changed.
Of course, the uncle came to the man’s place to eat and drink for three days not just for food and drink, but also to test the character of the man’s family, so the man had to do his best to entertain the uncle, lest the uncle would be dissatisfied and think that the marriage was
Not suitable.
"First uncle, second uncle, third uncle..."
As soon as he arrived at the Tang family, Su Wang saw Tang Jin's three uncles. But after seeing the appearance of these three uncles, he wondered in his heart, is this a genetic mutation in the Xia family?
These three uncles...how to describe it, their appearance is a bit scary, if that's all it is, forget it, but the key is that my mother-in-law's appearance is incredible, or is it that the male genes and female genes of the old Xia family are just opposite?
"This is our nephew-in-law. He is younger than he looks on TV."
"It's okay, but he's not handsome either. Why does our little Jin fall in love with you?"
Seeing these three uncles' personal attacks without hesitation, the corner of Su Wang's mouth twitched. He wanted to reply, "How can you three have the courage to say such things based on your looks?"
But he didn't dare. These three uncles would be the biggest in the next few days. No one could offend these three.
"Don't talk nonsense. This time, when we go over there, please drink less alcohol. Brother, do the same to you, brother. As for the youngest, keep an eye on them and don't embarrass yourself over there."
Xia Lan stepped forward to rescue Su Wang, but Su Wang was surprised to find that his mother-in-law was very prestigious. None of the three uncles dared to talk back. It seemed that his mother-in-law was not only the head of the Tang family, but also
Became the head of the Xia family.
Su Wang had also learned about the identities of his girlfriend's three uncles. Their origins were not simple. The eldest uncle was a soldier with a high rank. He was currently serving as a division-level cadre in a certain military region.
As for the second uncle, he is a businessman. He owns a mine and his financial resources can be imagined.
My brother-in-law is a scientific researcher. Su Wang doesn't know which unit he works in. The specific position is unknown, but the confidentiality level is very high. It is said that he is not even allowed to drink. You can imagine what this means.
After a lively exchange, Su Wang was watched by relatives of the Tang family and Xia family for a long time. In the end, without even seeing Tang Jin, Su Wang led the three uncles away from the Tang family and returned to his own home.
"It's so lively. Is this a happy event?"
Tang Ming is a cadre, and he lives in the municipal party committee compound. Such lively commotion also alarmed many other colleagues.
"It seems that the daughter of the Tang family is getting engaged. I think it was quite a scene. Several luxury cars drove in."
Ma Xiong frowned when he heard his wife's words. He had just been transferred to the city as a top leader and didn't know much about the situation of his colleagues. However, in the current era of strict prohibition on luxury, Tang Ming's daughter was engaged and ostentatious.
To do this on such a big scale is simply without any political acumen.
"I want to talk to Tang Ming about this matter."
"What are you talking about? This is someone else's family matter. You can take care of it."
"Whatever family matters, at our level, we represent the image of party members."
"What's wrong with the image of a party member? He neither steals nor robs. Do you know who Tang Ming's son-in-law is? I went to find out. He is a grassroots generation who started his own business. He is only twenty years old and already has several families.
A net worth of one billion."
"Less than twenty years old, with a net worth of several billion, our city has such... Wait, are you talking about Su Wang from Meituan.com?"
Ma Xiong suddenly remembered that after he took office, he asked his secretary to compile a list of powerful local entrepreneurs, as well as some entrepreneurs who had gone out from the local area. One of them, Su Wang, particularly impressed him.
“I don’t know whether it’s Meituan or not, but that young man does have that name.”
Hearing his wife's answer, Ma Xiong showed a smile on his face and said: "As the class leader, we still have to congratulate the class members on their happy events. In this way, we can go over and join in the fun."
"It's a lie to join in the fun. I think you just want to meet that young man and attract him to develop in this city."
After being married for so many years, how could Ma Xiong’s wife not understand that her husband is a complete career fanatic?
