Chapter 97

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, Xuehan and Zhang Rongchuan were engaged, and word spread throughout the village.

In two days, Zhulan pulled the menu for Mrs. Li to prepare for the engagement. Many people would come for the engagement, including Zhulan's natal family. Li's in-laws would also come, as well as several elders from the clan who had visited, Calculate the number of people without children and at least five tables.

The tables and chairs were all borrowed from the clan, and the benefits of reintegrating into the clan came. There were many people in the family who needed help. Before Zhulan could speak, the tables, chairs, plates, and bowls were delivered.

There are three tables in the living room of Zhulan's house, one table in the bedroom where Zhulan lives, and one table in Li's room.

In order to show respect and dignity, Zhulan bought half a pig, five hens, and five rabbits, and prepared eight dishes, including braised pork ribs, sauced meat, stewed bones with sauerkraut, stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised rabbit meat, fat sausages, and sausages. , the last Zhulan cut a piece of ham to make soup, the staple food is mixed noodles steamed buns.

Early in the morning, Li and the eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch's family started to cook, and the second and third daughter-in-laws of the patriarch's family helped.

Zhulan wanted to entertain female guests, and Mrs. Zhao was only a few days away from confinement, so she couldn't help.

Engagement has nothing to do with Xuehan, because of his young age, Rong Chuan is equivalent to giving to the Zhulan family with no elders. After the patriarch's house came early in the morning, Xuehan went to accompany the Zhao family.

Rong Chuan was going to meet guests, so he put on new clothes and stayed by Zhou Shuren's side.

Zhulan and the patriarch's wife were chatting in the bedroom, Zhulan said enthusiastically: "I really want to thank my aunt today, without my aunt's help, I'm not too busy!"

Mrs. Zhao is in confinement, she and Mrs. Li are really busy.

Mrs. Zhou Wang is very proud. She is capable of raising eight children, and only six sons. The daughter-in-law also works a lot, and they are all very filial. "Wait a few years for Changlian and Changzhi to get married. , the family members are enough.”

Zhulan thought to herself that instead of expecting the two sons to get married and get a wife to help, it would be better to expect Zhou Shuren's fame to buy a cooking woman to come quickly, and said face-to-face: "Auntie is one of the most blessed people in the village."

Mrs. Zhou looked at the bedroom. No wonder Mrs. Yang was envied by people. Look at the cabinets covered with unpatched fabrics. There was no idea what to do with the fabrics in the sewing basket. Thinking carefully, Mrs. Yang never wore clothes with patches. Zhou Shuren As expected of the one who loves his daughter-in-law, she is jealous, "You are the most blessed person in the village, and my aunt envies you."

She has been angry with her mother-in-law for several years!

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

She shouldn't mention luck!

Fortunately, Yang's family arrived, Zhulan rushed out to greet her, Zhulan supported Sun, "Mother, why did you and dad come in person?"

She thought it was a cold day, and only two elder brothers came with their daughter-in-law and son.

Mrs. Sun was not happy, "My granddaughter is engaged and I am not allowed to see it for myself?"

"Aren't I worried about you and your father's health?"

Sun didn't show face, she was really angry, she didn't know until the end that her granddaughter was going to be engaged, although Rong Chuan was also quite a match, she snorted, "My body is much better than yours, you should still miss your own body !"

Zhulan knew she was in the wrong, and when the second child came back from the New Year's gift, she said that the old lady and the old man were unhappy, and quickly apologized, "Yes, yes, mother is right."

Zhulan helped her mother into the house, and hurriedly knelt down to give her slippers, "It's hot on the kang, please warm up for a while, I'll go and refill the tea."

Sun gave a compliment, but she was still angry anyway.

Zhulan soon came back with tea, and Niang chatted with the patriarch's wife, which was quite lively.

Zhulan and her sister-in-law are chatting while serving tea, guilty conscience, she is not the original body after all, she and Zhou Shuren are used to being independent, accustomed to independent processing, it is difficult for them to completely change, sometimes they are lacking, I can only slowly make up for the shortcomings. I thought I would go back to my mother's house to make amends to my parents after getting engaged, but I didn't expect my mother and father to come here in person.

Mrs. Sun was quite comfortable being served, and she was so suffocated that she lost her breath.

If you want to say how angry you are, I really don't have any desire to interfere with your granddaughter's marriage. I just feel that my daughter won't talk to her about any important matters. Alright, don't be too busy, just sit and rest."

Zhulan exhaled that the test was over, "Mother is the one who hurts me the most."

Mrs. Sun was warm in her heart, and her daughter was the closest to her, but she said: "A grandma is still acting like a baby, don't be ashamed to be ashamed."

"I'm just my grandma, am I not also my mother's daughter, I've been my mother's daughter all my life."

Sun smiled and nodded her daughter's forehead, "It makes people laugh."

Mrs. Zhou was stunned. The rumors that Mrs. Yang was favored by the Yang family were not true at all. She couldn't watch it, she would be jealous!

The Li family also came, Mrs. Li came in person, and then several more, Zhulan's seniority suddenly went down, and there was no place to sit.

The token exchanged between Xuehan and Rong Chuan was a jade pendant. Zhou Shuren personally went to the county to buy it for ten taels of silver. The marriage letter written by the patriarch Zhou. The two children exchanged the jade pendant in front of witnesses, and the marriage letter was handed over to Zhulan. Keep it, and the engagement is over.

There is no way, no one can make Rong Chuan an elder.

Everyone in the Zhang family knows about the engagement, but they also know how Rong Chuan paid the compensation to Zhu Lan's family. It was guessed that it was a long-term worker when something happened, but later the rumors of Tong's foster husband came true. Helping Rong Chuan, he also felt that Tong Yangfu was not a respectable thing, and it was too late for the Zhang family to hide, let alone visit the door.

Zhulan heard from Zhou Wang that Zhang Datie and Zhu had been warned by patriarch Zhang that they were coming, so they didn't come to make a fuss.

Zhulan knew in her heart that the patriarch Zhang didn't think much about Rong Chuan, and he didn't stop the Zhu family from secretly finding trouble with Rong Chuan. In the end, it was Zhou Shuren who reintegrated into the clan. Zhang Datie and his wife were killed.

Who told the child surnamed Zhang to study in the Zhou family!

These days are enough for the whole village to know how much Zhou Shuren is valued by the clan!

After eating, it was already afternoon, and Zhulan was so busy that she didn't have time to talk to the eldest daughter Xuemei. Zhulan first sent off the Yang family who was on their way, and then sent away several elders in the clan and the Li family, the patriarch The family helped to wash the dishes and tidy up before leaving.

Zhulan was really embarrassed, she planned to bring her two daughters and Mrs. Li to clean up. The patriarch's family helped a lot, and Zhulan was not a stingy person, because there were a lot of dishes left in the pot, so Zhulan packed them. Two big bowls of vegetables and one or two teas were given to the patriarch's family.

Seeing off the people, Zhulan called the third son who hadn't drunk and the old son to return the tables and chairs, and Rong Chuan also went with her. Straightened his body, finally able to rest.

Xuemei hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Mother, I'll help you go back to rest, you're exhausted today."
