Chapter 15 Engagement Banquet

The day of engagement came in a blink of an eye. He's mother specially put on the cheongsam given by Su Zhuzhu. Su Zhuzhu wore a classic white shirt on the upper body, a lake green skirt underneath, black leather shoes on her feet, and a watch on her left wrist in the same color as the skirt. She looked full of temperament and youthful beauty.

He Xiaoyun and her husband Lin Li came with their two children early in the morning. He Xiaoyun met Lin Li through a blind date. Lin Li also served in the army. After marriage, they had a son and a daughter, the eldest son Lin Yuanzhi, and the youngest daughter Lin Xiaoxue, one is in the first year of high school and the other is in the second year of junior high school.

Because we were getting engaged today, we had breakfast early, and then the whole family sat in the living room chatting.

He Xiaoyun's eyes lit up when he saw Su Zhuzhu, she looked a perfect match for his nephew. He Qiaojin also wore a white shirt and straight army green trousers today, the two of them stood together, a perfect match, it was a pleasure to look at them.

Grandpa He, Lin Li and He Qiaojin were sitting around the tea table chatting about things in the army. Here, Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Xiaoxue were having fun with their cousin's new wife. They dared to say anything without any reservations. They revealed all the embarrassing things about their cousin from childhood to adulthood, and begged Su Zhuzhu to marry their cousin as soon as possible to save Ice Face. Su Zhuzhu laughed secretly when she heard this, thinking that she would probably disappoint you.

Today's lunch is particularly sumptuous, with roast duck, braised pork ribs, braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, steamed fish, steamed crab, four vegetarian dishes and a pork rib and radish soup. The staple food is white flour steamed buns.

Before they started eating, Old Man He said a few simple words, meaning that He Qiaojin and Su Zhuzhu had made their marriage a reality today, but since they couldn't contact Su Zhuzhu's parents for the time being, they would keep it simple, and the wedding date would be decided based on the circumstances. They would definitely need to discuss this with the Su family, and hoped to contact the Su couple as soon as possible.

After Mr. He finished speaking, others took out gifts and gave them to Su Zhuzhu. Everyone had a smile on their face and was full of kindness towards Su Zhuzhu.

Su Zhuzhu felt a little guilty, but couldn't say it out loud, so she had to accept it with a smile. She planned to return these valuable gifts to the He family after canceling the engagement, and also prepare another gift as a thank you.

Old Master He simply gave Su Zhuzhu a passbook, but she didn't open it because she had to return it to the He family in the end anyway; He's father was not at home, so He's mother gave her a pair of imperial green jade bracelets. Su Zhuzhu was afraid that she would not be able to hold them firmly and break them, so she took a look at them and put them in the box; He Xiaoyun and Lin Li gave her a courtyard house with one entrance, which was also a big deal. It can be seen that the He and Lin families are very wealthy.

Su Zhuzhu thanked everyone one by one, went upstairs to put the gifts away and then hurried downstairs to eat together. With the two adorable kids, Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Xiaoxue, the meal was full of laughter.

After the engagement, Mr. He left with Aunt He and her family.

Su Zhuzhu will be returning to Suzhou on the 3pm train tomorrow. Grandpa He arranged a soft sleeper ticket for her and packed his luggage at night when he had nothing to do.

The gifts from the He family were too expensive, and the engagement would be cancelled in the future. After thinking about it, she left them at the He family, saying it was unsafe to take them to Su City, and put them all in the drawer of the cabinet. He's mother bought her too many clothes, most of which were still new. Su Zhuzhu said coquettishly that she would come back to live after the wedding anyway, and she couldn't move them, so she put them in the room. He's mother nodded and said yes, and helped to sort them out.

Before going to bed, she sorted out the gifts prepared for the He family and put them in the cabinet. Even if this marriage was going to fall through, the He family's love for her in the past few days was real, especially helping her find out about her parents. Su Zhuzhu was very grateful. She also gave gifts to He Xiaogu and the children. She gave He Xiaogu five high-end silk scarves and a box of tea from the mall. Because she had talked with Lin Zhiyuan about her thoughts on the future, she took a scalpel from the operating room and left a message saying that it was just for encouragement and that she would have to wait until she had the medical qualifications to use it. She gave the lovely Lin Xiaoxue a watch. Although it was not as valuable as the gifts from the He family, the medicine for Mr. He was priceless and could save his life at a critical moment. She also wrote a special letter, stating that it was recommended that the medicine for Mr. He be taken to a doctor for examination first, and there were some maintenance suggestions for heart disease and high blood pressure.
