Chapter 23 Proposing marriage at home
After apologizing to Sha Zhu and paying compensation, Xu Damao quickly went to the countryside to show movies. He stayed in the yard, looking at Sha Zhu's unwilling and malicious eyes. It would be dangerous if he didn't run away.

Autumn is over, and Jiucheng seems particularly cold in winter. Although the first snow of the year has not yet arrived, the temperature is already dropping.

Wang Jianfeng arrived at the city gate at noon. His uncle and aunt were coming over today. He waited for a while before he saw his uncle Wang Xuewen. They were carrying a lot of local specialties in small packages.

"Uncle, aunt, here I am."

"You guys are here, why are you bringing so many things?"

“It’s not a lot of good stuff, it’s just a little thought.”

"In the past few months since you came back, life in the village has been getting better and better."

"Many families have started to marry and have enough food to eat. The villagers don't say it, but they are grateful to you in their hearts."

"I heard that you were going on a blind date and were planning to get married, so you asked me to bring some local specialties with you. I only brought a portion of them, and left the bulk in the village."

"What is there to thank for? We are all one family, and I am also a member of Wangjia Village."

"Come on, uncle, follow me, let's go home first."

Several people soon arrived at the courtyard
"Jianfeng, you're back. Who are these two?"

"Uncle, this is my uncle and aunt."

"This is Yan Bugui, the manager of our courtyard. He is a teacher."

Hello, Teacher Yan, I am Jianfeng’s uncle. I came to see him today.”

After a few more pleasantries, Wang Jianfeng said, "Uncle, we have something else to do, so we'll go back first."

"Uncle, aunt, let's go back to my house first."

"Okay, goodbye, Teacher Yan."

When they arrived at Wang Jianfeng's house, Wang Jianfeng opened the door and invited them in.

When the two saw the yard, they praised it again.

"Jianfeng, I'm very happy to see that you have made great progress now."

"The little kid who used to just follow your dad has now grown up and is about to get married. Your dad would definitely be very happy if he knew.

"Oh! What a pity he can't see it!" Wang Xuewen couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his brother.

"Okay, don't think about it, boss."

"Huzi, quickly tell your aunt about this girl's family situation."

"Where do you live?"

"how many people?"

"How is the situation at home?"

Afterwards, Wang Jianfeng told the two of them about Yu Li's general situation.

Then they talked about the bride price and so on. Actually, at that time, the bride price in the countryside ranged from 20 to 50 yuan, and they might also ask for some grain; in the city, it was about 50 to 100 million yuan. As for the three turns and one ring, it was not necessary to have it, but it would be better if they had it.

Wang Jianfeng planned to set the highest standard for Yu Li's family, with a dowry of 100 million yuan and then buying a sewing machine, and that would basically be the end of the deal.

I'll also buy my wife a watch and a bicycle when the time comes.

We also communicated some basic details, such as when to get the marriage certificate and when to hold the wedding.

Then Wang Jianfeng arranged for the two to rest in the room that had been prepared for the proposal.

Everyone in the courtyard also knew that Wang Jianfeng's uncle and aunt were coming, and it seemed that they were going to propose marriage.

When Sha Zhu heard the news, he hated Xu Damao even more, because it was he who ruined his plans.

But he also thought that if he didn't provoke Xu Damao, this thing might succeed, but there is no if in everything.

The next day, it was the weekend again, and Wang Jianfeng was taking a break. After breakfast, the three of them set off for Yu Li's house.

Because it wasn't far away, they arrived at Yu Li's house very quickly. From a distance, they saw sisters Yu Li and Yu Haitang waiting at the door. Yu Li had obviously dressed up carefully today and looked even more beautiful.

"You are here"

"Uncle and aunt, this is Yu Li, and this is her sister Yu Haitang." "Lili, these are my uncle and aunt."

"Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt!"

"Hello too, you are such a pretty girl, a perfect match for our Jianfeng."

"Jianfeng, you are so good at finding me such a beautiful niece-in-law."

Yu Li's face turned red after hearing a few words from her aunt.

Then the aunt took Yu Li's hand and started chatting.

"Aunt, uncle, please come in and sit down. My parents are waiting for you," said Yu Li.

"Yeah, let's go in first."

"Ok"

When they arrived at Yu Li's house, Yu Li introduced Wang Jianfeng to Yu Li's parents again. It was also the first time that Yu Li's parents met Wang Jianfeng. The last time Wang Jianfeng came to deliver something, Yu Li's parents were not at home and they did not meet him.

Wang Jianfeng also looked around carefully. The Yu family also had a courtyard house with two rooms in total. A partition was built in the middle of the house, dividing it into four rooms. Her eldest brother and sister-in-law lived in one room, and one was the living room for Yu Li and Yu Haitang. The two younger brothers should sleep on the floor in the living room.

Yu Li's eldest brother has not yet got a formal job and has been doing odd jobs. His eldest sister-in-law has just been married and has not been married for long. Yu's father is the only one in the family who has a formal job, so their life should be average, similar to the situation of his third uncle Yan Bugui's family.

Then we ate and chatted about family matters, and everyone gradually became familiar with each other.

Wang Jianfeng also took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy and handed it to his two brothers-in-law and sister-in-law Yu Haitang as a bribe.

My aunt also brought up the purpose of today's visit at the right time.

"My dear mother-in-law, we are here today to help Jianfeng propose marriage to your Yu Li. We would like to ask for your opinion."

"We have no objection. Jianfeng is a good kid and our two children like him. We both agree to their marriage."

“That’s really great”

"Since you agree, let's discuss the marriage."

"The sooner you get married, the better"

"Jianfeng, what are you two planning?"

"Uncle, aunt, uncle and aunt, here's what I'm thinking. Isn't my birthday next December? After my birthday I'll be twenty. I think we can get the marriage certificate then, and the date will be New Year's Day."

"Okay, let's set that day. And what are you going to do about the wedding?"

"As for the wedding, I'll wait until I'm officially employed. I can get it before the New Year, and it won't affect my work. I can go back to the village and hold a grand wedding like this, and then go back to the city to treat my colleagues and friends to a meal."

"Lily, do you think this will work?"

"Okay, let's do as you say."

In fact, Wang Jianfeng also wanted to get it done as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble. There were so many people in the Siheyuan who liked to stir up trouble, and Sha Zhu was the best example.

"Do you have any requirements for the betrothal gift?"

"The gift should be 50 yuan," said Yu's mother.
"Aunt, this is what I think. I'll give you 100 million as a dowry, and I'll buy you a sewing machine after three turns. That will count as Lily's dowry."

"Besides, you guys trained Lily so well, I should give you these, and I'm a purchasing employee, so my salary is not bad."

"Well... okay."

"Just do as you say"

That’s settled then. Let’s go eat first and have a drink to enjoy the day.

Both the host and the guests were very happy after the meal. After all, the matter was successful and everyone was very happy because of the gifts sent by Wang Jianfeng and the rich food.

Then the four adults chatted for a while, and Yu Li took Wang Jianfeng to her and Yu Haitang's boudoir. The two of them were in love with each other again, and Wang Jianfeng took advantage of them.

However, Wang Jianfeng did not stay long. After all, this was his sister-in-law's room, so he came out quickly.

Seeing that it was almost time, the three of them said goodbye and went home.
