Chapter 471 (1/2)
On the twelfth day of the first month, the Xu family held an engagement banquet at the county guesthouse.
The relationship between the Li family and my family is general, so Grandma Li took a few girls to the banquet.
The Xu family is Xu Shao's grandmother, three aunts and Xu Shao's stepmother Zhao Jun's sister.
Li MINGYE, on the other hand, plays the role of matchmaker. He is not only the mother's family, but also the mother-in-law's family.
Because both sides are familiar, also is own person, this engagement banquet is particularly happy, in the warm and friendly atmosphere.
Li Mingli was wearing the new clothes Xu Shao bought for her, a big red dress. The long skirt hung down on her feet, showing her waist was particularly thin.
She usually does not make up, but today Li MINGYE painted her a light make-up, that is to say, light make-up, in fact, is to put on lipstick and powder. But as the saying goes, people depend on clothes and horses on saddles, so casually dressed up, it is both beautiful and fashionable!
Xu Shao's three aunts are all office workers who eat public meals. They are usually well dressed, but they are suddenly eclipsed by Li Mingli.
It's Xu Shao's stepmother, Zhao Yan, Zhao Jun's sister. In fact, she's not much older than Li Mingli. She's dressed in a fashion. But when it comes to appearance, she's far from Li Mingli.
See such a beautiful Li Mingli, Xu Shao excited do not know what to say, clearly this is his home, but he was embarrassed to say nothing.
Fortunately, they are all our own people, and they will pass by in a round.
At the end of the engagement banquet, Zhao Yan handed Li Mingli her newly bought purse, which contained the gift money and red envelope for her engagement.
This means that the marriage of two young people has been set down. If we discuss it further, we will have to discuss the matter of marriage.
Xu Shao drove the Li family back to Beiguan.
When he got home, Li MINGYE urged Li Mingli to take out the red envelope. The engagement money belonged to Li Mingli, but the red envelope was shared by everyone, even Grandma Li was no exception.
As soon as Li Mingli took out the red envelope, Li MINGYE snatched it and opened one of them. It was filled with 50 yuan!
This is a large amount of red envelope. At that time, the red envelope for engagement was only 20 yuan, and the amount given to 50 yuan was very rare. This shows the sincerity of the Xu family.
”Darling, Xu's family is so generous. They gave them 50 yuan red envelopes.”
Li MINGYE exclaimed, and then picked up the gift money for Li Mingli and counted it. It turned out to be 500 yuan!
You should know that the local girls engaged. Generally, generous families give 200 yuan as a deposit. The stingy ones even only pay 50 yuan. The Xu family spent more than 1000 yuan to get engaged. It's really a big deal.
Of course, this also shows how much the Xu family attaches importance to Li Mingli.
Li MINGYE laughed, ”Xiao Li is really lucky. Look how generous her mother-in-law is, but it's better than my mother-in-law!”
”That's not the same. When you were engaged, there was no reform and opening up, and people were generally poor. Now, although it has only been four or five years, the situation is really different. Everyone has money.”
This is also a fact. For example, when Li Mingli went to work, her basic salary was only about 20 yuan a month. Now, her basic salary is 50 or 60 yuan. Plus the performance, she can get 70 or 80 yuan a month. However, the leather factory where Li MINGYE works is very profitable since it started. Now, on average, she gets nearly 100 yuan a month But no one can compare with Li Mingyun. In recent years, her family has already become a household of 10000 yuan, even 100000 yuan. Even Li Mingqin, who learned to sell cloth from her, now has a much more solid family. There are only two commercial houses.
