Chapter 2028 Set a Date
The parents of both parties had no objections, nor did the two parties involved, Yang Dongjie and Dong Yao. The engagement ceremony did not need to be a grand event, so the engagement of the two was easily confirmed.
After getting engaged and deciding when to get married, you need to discuss it carefully. The negotiation process is not too difficult. The biggest difficulty is the choice of date.
The rules of the wedding are to hold two wedding banquets, one in my hometown and one in Kunming. In this way, relatives and friends from the Yang family in my hometown will receive them, and relatives and friends from the woman's side will receive them from the Dong family. There is no need for relatives and friends to run in both directions, and it will be easy for everyone.
There are also advantages to having separate establishments, that is, the Yang family will follow the Yang family's rules, and the Dong Yao side will follow the Yunnan side's rules, and there will basically be no conflicts.
Therefore, the only problem after the birth was the choice of the wedding date. As for the bride price, house, and car, Dong Yao's parents did not mention it at Dong Yao's suggestion.
The Yang family was also open-minded and decided to buy a house for the two of them in Yanjing. It just so happened that Yang Dongjie wouldn't graduate for several years. After the two of them got married, they would definitely stay in Yanjing for a few years. It would be convenient to have a house.
At the same time, the uncle also patted his chest and promised that the young couple would not want to stay in Yanjing after Yang Dongjie graduated. Whether it is to go to the devil to hang out with Yang Dongxu, or to go back to his hometown, or to develop in other cities and buy another house.
Having said that, there is no need to mention the betrothal gifts, three golds, etc. It is clear that the Yang family will not treat Dong Yao badly.
"I found someone to compare the birth dates and zodiac signs of my two children. There was a good day before the twelfth lunar month, and there was a good day after the new year on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
If you get married before the year, Xiaonian will not be far away after you return home in three days. Let Dong Yao and Ajie spend the Xiaonian with you here before going back to celebrate the Spring Festival.
If you get married after the new year, then the two of you can spend the fifteenth year at home with you after you get married. It's a coincidence that these two days are good and the time is right. "When the two families were sitting together after having had enough wine and food to decide on the issues for the last day, the aunt said.
Although everyone is now encouraged to believe in science and not feudal superstition, it is a tradition of the older generation to find someone to match their birth date and horoscope when getting married.
This is either feudal superstition or tradition, and many older generations also care about this.
Although there are some gossips who say that no matter how well the horoscopes are matched, or the dates are chosen well, there will still be divorces. But for such a top-notch event as getting married, everyone has to do it for good luck and peace of mind, right?
It doesn’t cost a lot of money to match someone’s birth date, and you definitely have to choose a date when you get married, so why can’t you feel more at ease and pay tribute to the legacy left by your ancestors?
"What do you two say?" Dong Yao's mother looked at Dong Yao and Yang Dongxu.
The Dong family basically had no objections to the two days chosen by the Yang family. Although it was still early before the end of the year, there was still a feeling of reluctance that a woman was about to get married.
But this is something that you have to experience sooner or later, so since you don’t have any opinions on the day, then ask the young couple what they think and prefer that day.
"You tell me, I'll listen to you." Yang Dongjie said.
The importance of being able to speak can be seen at this time. In fact, it doesn't matter which day Yang Dongjie chooses, but if he says, "You name it, I can do either one," it will seem too casual and he doesn't take marriage seriously. .
But even though "You say it, I'll listen to you" means the same thing, it's for Dong Yao to choose. But these words were pleasant to hear. Not only did Dong Yao feel respected, but even Dong Yao's parents felt that by marrying such a person, their daughter would not be bullied in the future.
"Why don't you choose the year before the new year, so you can have a lot of time to prepare in advance. If it is after the new year, everyone will be celebrating the Spring Festival at the beginning, and then preparing for the wedding will be too hasty. Not to mention, many shops only open after the sixth day of the new year.
And on the eighth day of the new year, many people have just started working for a few days. It’s not good to go to our wedding and go back and forth when everyone is very busy at work. Dong Yao said.
"It's really good to say this." Dong Ma couldn't help but said.
"Then before New Year's Eve, as Dong Yao said, you can have more time to prepare before New Year's Eve. On the eighth day of the New Year, relatives will probably be busy before they leave, and there will inevitably be some omissions when planning the wedding. "The aunt couldn't help but nod.
The only issue that needed to be discussed was successfully resolved, and the uncle and aunt couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The aunt held Dong Yao's hand and insisted on buying her a gold bracelet now, although this thing is a bit vulgar. And a gold bracelet, no matter how big it is, only costs tens of thousands of dollars.
But what I have to say is that this thing is vulgar, and it is incomparable with jewelry that costs hundreds of thousands or millions. But this thing is real and solid, and wearing it on your wrist makes you feel at ease.
Not only did the aunt want to sell it to Dong Yao, but Yang Dongjie obviously got his mother's instructions and insisted on buying one for his mother-in-law, Dong Ma.
As for Dad Dong, most men don't get involved in such things. He will be happy to give him a few more bottles of good wine in the future.
Therefore, the negotiation this time was very successful, and there was no quarrel over the bride price or dowry.
Of course, such a perfect situation is also related to the fact that both families are very particular. The aunt is not stingy, and the Dong family is content. The final result is naturally happy for everyone.
Otherwise, if they were to change to a family that was not satisfied, knowing that the Yang family was rich, they would insist on a dowry, and they would keep the dowry for themselves and not let the girl take it away. Or if the Yang family was rich but stingy, then there would definitely be a lot of dog-blooded drama.
"You mean, the money of the Yang family was earned by Ajie's cousin Yang Dongxu alone, so there is no problem of dividing the family property?"
When she returned home at night, although she was not greedy for dowry, she was still a little curious about the family situation of such a rich future in-law.
Yesterday, she wanted to ask her daughter but was interrupted by the neighbor opposite who came to the door to propose marriage. After sending the neighbor away, Dong Yao was chatting with Yang Dongjie on the phone and never got a chance to ask.
Now that the marriage is set and the wedding date is chosen, Dong's mother naturally has to get to know the Yang family well.
"That's right, so his cousin's wealth really has nothing to do with Ajie's family. You and my dad must not think too much." Dong Yao said.
"Silly girl, are your dad and I blinded by money?" Dong's mother poked her daughter's head with her finger in annoyance.
"I know you and my dad are not like that, so I just said that." Dong Yao hugged her mother's arm and acted like a spoiled child, "But although the money of Ajie's uncle's family has nothing to do with Ajie's family.
But the relationship between their families is still very good. For example, Ajie's family now has these industries and his uncle's family has helped a lot.
Ajie said he wanted to start a business, and his cousin took out more than two million yuan without saying a word to support him. Although he said it was a loan, in fact, he would pay it back if he made money, and he would definitely not want it if he didn't make money."
"The relationship between their families is very good. It's rare for such a rich family to be so harmonious." From the fact that the other party accompanied his younger aunt and younger uncle to talk about the engagement and marriage, as well as his performance at the dinner table, Dong's mother could see that the relationship between the Yang family was indeed very good.
"Rich families are not necessarily in chaos. There are those grudges between wealthy families in TV dramas, but they are definitely not always like this." Dong Yao reminded her mother not to take TV too seriously.
