Chapter 3889 3891 [Preparing for Marriage]

The next day, Xiang Nan brought gifts to Chen Jinshui's house to propose marriage.

Qiaogu didn't expect Xiang Nan to really come, and her face turned red with shame.

"Uncle Jinshui, Brother Jimao~" Xiang Nan smiled and greeted Chen Jinshui and Chen Jianghe.

"Daguang is here." Chen Jinshui stood up and greeted him, "Come and sit down, sit down."

"Thank you, uncle." Xiang Nan sat down, "Uncle, I brought you some gifts from Hujiang."

"Why are you so polite, kid." Chen Jinshui smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay, I came here today, I want to ask you something." Xiang Nan smiled again.

"What is it, tell me." Chen Jinshui nodded.

"That... I want to marry Qiaogu, I hope you can agree to it, uncle." Xiang Nan said immediately.

Chen Jinshui was stunned.

Xu Cui'e was busy making tea for Xiang Nan, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard him say that.

Qiaogu's heart was beating even more, holding her breath and looking at her father, not knowing how he would react.

"You and Qiaogu...you..." Chen Jinshui looked at Xiang Nan, and looked at Qiaogu, feeling a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to marry his daughter to Chen Jianghe. After all, he had raised Chen Jianghe as his son-in-law since he was a child. He had been raising him for more than 20 years, and they had a deep affection for each other.

But Xiang Nan was indeed good. He had education, ability, and level. It was certainly not wronged for his daughter to marry him, and it even meant marrying up.

After all, Qiu Yingjie was a college student, and he could be the deputy director of the office when he returned to Yiwu. If Xiang Nan returned to Yiwu, he would be a deputy director.

But he thought about it carefully and finally wanted to refuse.

First of all, he was closer to Chen Jianghe. After all, he had raised him for more than 20 years and had long regarded Chen Jianghe as his son. He also recognized Chen Jianghe's ability and character.

For example, in March this year, Chen Jianghe cooperated with the county garment factory to buy the waste fabrics left over by others, made them into mops and sold them, and made hundreds of dollars at once.

Later, he bought pig skins from the slaughterhouse and gave them to the villagers to make pig skin gloves to sell. Pig skin gloves are not only warm and soft, but also strong and wear-resistant, so they are very popular and made a lot of money.

Although he did not earn more than Xiang Nan, he was also a leader among his peers. Moreover, this child is simple and honest, and Chen Jinshui is relieved to marry his daughter to him.

Secondly, Qi Da is not a match. Xiang Nan is not only a college student, but also a great writer, with fame, wealth and status. No matter how good his daughter Qiaogu is, she is still a village girl after all. Marrying Xiang Nan is a high-class marriage, and it is inevitable to be wronged in the future.

Moreover, although Xiang Nan has a good character, he has been hardworking and helpful over the years. But he has always had a concern that he can't see through Xiang Nan.

This child has too many thoughts and too many abilities, and he can't control it at all, let alone Qiaogu. So if his daughter marries him, if this kid changes his mind, he has no way to deal with it.

So after considering it, Chen Jinshui decided to betroth his daughter to Chen Jianghe.

...

But he was about to speak when he suddenly felt dizzy and said with a worried look, "If you marry Qiaogu, what will happen to Jimao? I have raised Jimao as my son-in-law since I was a child."

"Dad, I don't want to marry Brother Jimao. I have always regarded him as my brother." Qiaogu said hurriedly.

"Uncle, in fact, I have always regarded Qiaogu as my sister, and I don't want to marry her either." Jimao also said, "Besides, I actually have a girl I like."

"Really, you are not lying to your uncle?" Chen Jinshui asked in surprise.

Xu Cui'e was also surprised. She didn't expect that Chen Jianghe actually had someone outside.

"Yes, uncle, I didn't lie to you." Chen Jianghe nodded, "We have been in love for more than half a year, and we both think each other is pretty good.

So you let Qiaogu marry Daguang, so that they can be happy and I can be happy. Don't worry, even if I don't marry Qiaogu, I will treat you as my own father."

"This...Okay." Chen Jinshui hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

"Brother Daguang, it's really great. My father agreed." Qiaogu said happily.

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, and then stopped.

Chen Jinshui was stunned, then regained consciousness and frowned.

He didn't want to agree to his daughter's marriage with Xiang Nan, but when the words came to his lips, why did his brain and mouth not obey?

But the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't regret it now, so he had to agree with a dark face.

...

After dealing with Chen Jinshui, Xiang Nan then made an engagement gift and set the wedding date at the end of June. After he graduated from college, he would hold the wedding immediately.

Then he went to study in the United States. When he settled down there, he would take Qiaogu with him.

In order to make it easier to marry Qiaogu, Xiang Nan also spent 20,000 yuan to build a two-story building in Chenjia Village.

First of all, with his own house, he didn't have to live with Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang, which could avoid many conflicts. After all, Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang don't like Qiaogu very much. If they live together reluctantly, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts.

He is far away on the other side of the ocean, and there is no way to reconcile in the play, so Qiaogu can only bear the grievances alone. So it is better to move out and live separately, so that they don't see each other and there will be less friction.

Secondly, the two-story building is not only convenient for living, but also can be used for other purposes in the future, such as living upstairs and opening a store downstairs. This kind of shop house is very common now, but it was still a rarity at that time.

And as Yiwu develops, the housing prices will definitely get higher and higher in the future. The two-story building will be demolished in the future, and maybe it can be exchanged for several houses in the future. Anyway, it won't be a loss.

20,000 yuan, in the early 1980s, the purchasing power was quite amazing.

At that time, it only cost a few hundred yuan to build a house in the countryside. After all, it was rare to have a millionaire at that time.

Even though there are so many businessmen in Yiwu, there are many millionaires, but it is not rare to spend 20,000 yuan to build a house.

Therefore, Xiang Nan's house built with 20,000 yuan is unique even in Yiwu. The whole house is painted with cement and inlaid with tiles, which looks grand and beautiful.

And the house is full of new furniture and home appliances, sofas, wardrobes, TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, tape recorders, etc., which makes Chen Jintu curse his son for spending so much money to marry a wife.

Other people don't even spend 100 yuan to marry a wife, but he spent 20,000 or 30,000 to marry a wife, which is really infuriating.

However, Chen Jinshui felt relieved after seeing this.

He was worried that Xiang Nan would treat his daughter badly, but when he saw this house, he immediately felt that Xiang Nan was quite sincere to his daughter.

Such a beautiful house, such a complete set of furniture and home appliances... Such good conditions, even if he married a second-generation official, it would not be more than this.

"Okay, as long as they can live together, I don't care." He thought to himself.

"Yes, if the child is willing, you don't have to get involved." Xu Cui'e also thought that her daughter was a good match for Xiang Nan.

"Oh, by the way, what is the name of the girl who talked to Ji Mao..." Chen Jinshui asked again.

"Luo Yuzhu." Xu Cui'e reminded.

"Yes. I want to check this woman." Chen Jinshui nodded.
