Chapter 272:  Chapter 270: Preparing the Engagement Gifts, Ms. Xin’s Skillful Tactics

The next day, the weather cleared up and it was a great day. The Zhang Family came to the door with a matchmaker, carrying a pair of living wild geese.

This is just going through the formalities, announcing to the villagers that the two are following the official process.

Of course, the Di family was lively all day.

Originally ignorant, YingEr stood beside Zhang Yun with a smile on her face. When asked if she was willing to spend a lifetime with Zhang Yun, Liu Sisi thought YingEr wouldn’t understand. Unexpectedly, she lowered her head and thought for a moment, looking at Liu Sisi and then at Zhang Yun.

“YingEr wants to spend a lifetime with Brother Yun! This way, YingEr can see mom every day, and also see Dad and brother. YingEr likes Auntie, and Auntie also likes YingEr!”

“Ah, our YingEr’s little mouth is so sweet!”

Guihua’s face broke into a big smile, as she hugged YingEr and showered her with affection.

Ironically, the happiest person was the blushing Zhang Yun standing nearby, grinning from ear to ear.

Di Xuan, on the other hand, had a dark expression without any hint of a smile on his face. Ye Lei tried to put on a happy face. Seeing this scene, his eyes became red. Zhang Peng saw and gently patted his shoulder, which made him reluctantly smile. Then he went in and drank with everyone.

Old Mr. Di, whose face was full of wrinkles, also wore a full smile and kept repeating the same word: “good, good!”

The next day, Ye Lei and Zhang Peng went to the Goddess of Mercy’s temple again to have the birthdate information matched for Zhang Yun and YingEr.

The result was a match made in heaven, and the two of them came back with crooked smiles, obviously very happy.

After that, the preparations began in full swing!

Although it was just the engagement ceremony, both families did not intend to make it simple, so naturally, there were many things to prepare.

Meanwhile, Liu Sisi had her share of troubles. Zhang Shixin would appear every time she showed up at the bookstore. No matter how she tried to drive him away, he would linger outside, making her annoyingly restless!

Recently, when she got home, she would either be busy experimenting with the movable printing system or burying herself in sewing wallets at home.

According to tradition, a wallet symbolizing love needs to be given to the groom at the engagement ceremony. YingEr, being young, naturally couldn’t sew it, so Liu Sisi had to do the work. When the wallet was almost done, YingEr would sew the final stitch to represent her feelings.

Thus, this wallet couldn’t be done poorly! Liu Sisi had to rack her brains for it.

Luckily, YingEr was sensible. Although her small hands couldn’t hold a needle yet, she learned from Auntie Guihua and made a beautiful fortune knot for the wallet.

This fortune knot symbolizes good luck and hangs below the wallet.

Although the wallet wasn’t finished, Zhang Yun loved the fortune knot and couldn’t let go of it. If it weren’t for the wallet’s significance during the engagement ceremony, he’d want to snatch it away right away.

Seeing this, Liu Sisi kept shaking her head, hoping that Zhang Yun would treat YingEr well for a lifetime.

The day was still early, and while Liu Sisi was embroidering mandarin ducks on the wallet, Di Yelei came back early.

As soon as he returned, he went straight into the inner room to find his father. The two talked for quite a while without coming out.

“What’s wrong? Your face doesn’t look good?”
