Chapter 3889 3891【Preparing for marriage】
Soon after, Xiang Nan brought gifts and went to Chen Jinshui's home to propose marriage.
Qiaogu didn't expect Xiang Nan to actually come, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
“Uncle Jinshui, Brother Ji Feo~” Xiang Nan greeted Chen Jinshui and Chen Jianghe with a smile.
“Here comes the Great Light.” Chen Jinshui stood up to greet him and said, “Come and sit down. Sit down.”
"Thank you, uncle." Xiang Nan sat down and said, "Uncle, I brought you some gifts from Hujiang."
“You kid, why are you so polite?” Chen Jinshui said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm here today because I have something to ask my uncle." Xiang Nan smiled again.
"What's the matter, tell me." Chen Jinshui nodded.
"Well... I want to marry Qiao Gu, and I hope you can agree." Xiang Nan said immediately.
Chen Jinshui was stunned for a moment.
Xu Cui'e was busy making tea for Xiang Nan. When she heard what he said, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Qiaogu's heart was beating loudly. She held her breath and looked at her father, not knowing how he would react.
"You and Qiao Gu... you..." Chen Jinshui looked at Xiang Nan and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Qiao Gu.
He originally wanted to marry his daughter to Chen Jianghe. After all, he had raised Chen Jianghe as his son-in-law for more than 20 years since he was a child, and he had a deep affection for her.
But Xiang Nan is indeed good, he has education, ability and level. Of course, it is not a grievance for his daughter to marry him, and he even has the intention of reaching a higher level.
After all, Qiu Yingjie, a college student, could be the deputy director of the office when he returned to Yiwu. If Xiang Nan returns to Yiwu, he will be a deputy director.
But he thought about it carefully and finally wanted to refuse.
Since then, he has become closer to Chen Jianghe. After all, after more than twenty years of raising him, he has already 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 a county clothing factory to buy leftover scrap fabrics and sell them into mops, earning hundreds of dollars at once.
Later, he bought the pig skins from the slaughterhouse and gave them to the villagers to make pig skin gloves for sale. Pigskin gloves are not only warm and soft, but also strong and wear-resistant, so they are very popular and make a lot of money.
Although he does not earn much more than Xiang Nan, he is still among the best among his peers. Moreover, this child is honest and kind, so Chen Jinshui is relieved to marry his daughter to him.
Secondly, Qi Dafei was not even. Xiang Nan is both a college student and a great writer, well-known, advantageous and prestigious. No matter how good her daughter Qiaogu is, she is still a village girl after all. Marrying Xiang Nan means you are climbing high, and you will inevitably be wronged in the future.
Although Xiang Nan is a good character, he has been hard-working and helpful in recent years. But he has always had a concern, that is, he cannot see through Xiang Nan.
This child has too many ideas and abilities. He can't handle it at all, let alone Qiao Gu. So if his daughter marries him, if this kid changes his mind, he has nothing to do.
So after Chen Jinshui considered it, he decided to betroth his daughter to Chen Jianghe.
…
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt dizzy, and then said with a worried look, "What will you do with Chicken Feather if you marry Qiao Gu? I have raised Chicken Feather as my son-in-law since I was a child."
“Dad, I don’t want to marry Brother Ji Feo. I always regard him as my older brother.” Qiaogu said quickly.
"Uncle, actually I have always regarded Qiao Gu as my sister, and I don't want to marry her." Ji Feo also said, "Besides, I actually have a girl I like."
Xu Cui'e was equally surprised. She didn't expect that there was someone outside Chen Jianghe.
"Yes, uncle, I didn't lie to you." Chen Jianghe nodded, "We have been in love together for more than half a year, and we both think that each other is very good. So you let Qiaogu marry Daguang, this will help them. Don’t worry, even if I don’t marry Qiao Gu, I will treat you as my own father.”
“That’s...ok.” Chen Jinshui hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
“Brother Daguang, this is really great. My father agrees.” Qiaogu said happily.
“Yes.” Xiang Nan also nodded, and then stopped.
Chen Jinshui was stunned for a moment, then regained consciousness, and then frowned.
He originally didn’t want to agree to his daughter’s marriage to Xiang Nan, but when the words came to his lips, why didn’t his mind and mouth obey his orders?
It's just that the words have been spoken, and now that he regrets it, he can't lose his face, so he has to agree with a dark face.
…
After getting Chen Jinshui, Xiang Nan then made an engagement ceremony and set the wedding date at the end of June. The wedding would be held immediately after he graduated from college.
Then he will go to the United States to study. When he gets settled there, he will take Qiao Gu with him.
In order to make it easier for him to marry Qiao Gu, Xiang Nan even spent 20,000 yuan to build a two-story building in Chenjia Village.
Once you have your own house, you don’t have to live with Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang, and you can avoid many conflicts. After all, Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang didn't like Qiao Gu very much, so they reluctantly lived together. It was inevitable that the spoon would touch the edge of the pot and there would be disagreements.
But he is far away on the other side of the ocean, and there is no way to reconcile it in the play, so Qiaogu can only bear the grievance alone. So it's better to move out and live in another place, so that we don't see each other and there will be less friction.
Secondly, the two-story building is not only convenient for living, but can also be used for other purposes in the future, such as living above and opening a shop below. This kind of store house is very common now, but it was still a rarity at the time.
And with the development of Yiwu, 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 replaced with several houses in the future. Anyway, I just don't suffer a loss.
Twenty thousand yuan, in the early 1980s, had an astonishing purchasing power.
At that time, it cost just a few hundred yuan to build a house in rural areas. After all, households worth 10,000 yuan were scarce at that time.
Even though there are so many businessmen in Yiwu, there are many households with ten thousand yuan, but those who are willing to spend twenty thousand yuan to build a house are not unique, but they are also quite rare.
Therefore, Xiang Nan’s 20,000 yuan to build a house was his only share even in Yiwu. The whole body is painted with cement and inlaid with ceramic tiles, making it look grand and beautiful.
Moreover, the house is equipped with a complete set of new furniture and home appliances, including sofas, standing cabinets, TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, tape recorders, etc. When Chen Jintu saw it, he secretly cursed his son for wasting his family and spending so much money to marry a wife.
Other families don't even need a hundred yuan to get a wife, but he spent 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to get a wife. I'm really angry.
However, Chen Jinshui felt relieved after reading it.
He was originally worried that Xiang Nan would treat his daughter badly, but when he saw this house, he suddenly felt that Xiang Nan was quite sincere towards his daughter.
Such a beautiful house, such a complete set of furniture, home appliances... Such good conditions, even if you marry a second-generation official, it is nothing more than this.
"Okay, as long as they can get along, I don't care." He thought to himself.
"Yes, if the child is willing, don't get involved." Xu Cui'e also thinks that her daughter is a good match for Xiang Nan.
“Hey, by the way, what is the name of the girl who was talking to Ji Feo...” Chen Jinshui asked again.
“Luo Yuzhu.” Xu Cui’e reminded.
"Yes. I want to check this woman." Chen Jinshui nodded.
