Chapter 166 Engagement
After Shen Meng left, Zhu Juying was completely dazed. She sat alone in the main room for a long time and didn't respond when Lu Xiangxiang called her. When Lu Xiangxiang came back after delivering the meat soup to the first and third rooms, Uncle Guai was bringing the prepared meal into the room.

"Old woman, what are you thinking about? I saw you sitting there for a long time without moving. What's wrong with you?"

"Mom, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Tell me and I'll go get Doctor Lu."

Lu Xiangxiang saw her mother was about to run out in panic, but Zhu Juying grabbed her.

"Xiangxiang, my good daughter, you must be filial to Xiaobin's parents in the future. They are so kind to you, you must know how to treat them. And Xiaobin's two sisters-in-law, they treat you well for the sake of family harmony, you must also be kind to them, and you can't be like your second sister-in-law, who is so inhumane."

"Mom, I know. I will get along well with Sister Meng as well. But what do you mean by work?"

Uncle Guai just thought that Lu Xiangxiang was about to get engaged to the Shen family, and the old woman was excited. As long as she was fine, he didn't care about what was said later. He pulled the bowl towards his seat and was about to eat with chopsticks.

"Your sister-in-law Meng gave Xiaobin a quota as a textile factory worker. He will start working after the new year. He will have a stable job in the future."

"What?"

The chopsticks in Uncle Guai's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he looked at Zhu Juying in disbelief. Lu Xiangxiang also opened her eyes wide. She didn't know about this and had never heard of it.

In the evening, Lu Zhenping boiled two pots of water to wash the children clean. One by one, the children looked at Shen Meng with tears in their eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved. Lu Mingkai even went straight into Shen Meng's arms, with his butt sticking out, not wanting to even look at Lu Zhenping.

"Make some milk for them and go to bed early!"

Lu Zhenping's eyes flashed, which was exactly what he wanted. He diligently prepared milk for the children, coaxed Lu Mingkai to sleep with Mingyang, and went to wash up quickly.

Shen Meng's face was slightly hot. When she was having dinner in the evening, she already knew that something was bound to happen. Just now, when she went to the toilet, she entered the space and washed herself so white and tender that Mingliang thought she had diarrhea.

The night is long, Lu Zhenping is in good physical condition, Shen Meng is very tired
Two days later, Shen Fugui, Wang Guizhi and their family drove two ox carts to Lujia Village. Director Guo was wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket and a red scarf. He had been standing at Uncle Guai's door early in the morning, waiting for someone to come. When he saw the two ox carts coming, he was delighted. Xiangxiang was a good girl. The people in the village who were on good terms with Uncle Guai and Zhu Juying all hoped that she would have a good home. After the incident with the leper, they were very angry and were afraid that they would delay the development of Xiangxiang. They did not expect that Shen Meng had secretly set her eyes on Xiangxiang and abducted her to their home.

"Here they come, here they come, weirdo, quickly have Xing'an Xingwang fire the cannons, someone from the Shen family is coming."

"Okay, Xing'an, hurry up, Xiaobin is here, go and set off the firecrackers, Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, what are you doing, hurry up and come out, they are almost at the door, what are you still doing in the house?"

Uncle Guai walked towards the door in a hurry, feeling a little embarrassed when he looked at Director Guo.

"Her aunt, thank you for your hard work."

"What's the big deal? I just hope Xiangxiang can find a good husband. Xiaomeng came to me to be the matchmaker. I was so happy. I got a big carp for free!"

Zhu Juying and Lu Xiangxiang also hurried out, and she was muttering to herself as she came over.

"Today is a big wedding day, Xiangxiang has to dress up nicely. You old man, you have to be careful when you talk to your in-laws later, and smoke less of your old dry tobacco, do you hear me?"

"I know, I know."

Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping also came with their children. She looked at Lu Xiangxiang, who was wearing a floral cotton jacket and had a rosy face, and she became more and more satisfied with her sister-in-law. "What's up, Xiao Meng, are you here to see your sister-in-law? Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied. It won't be long before Xiangxiang will call me sister, and then we'll be a proper family."

After hearing what the two men said, the little girl's face turned even redder, like a peach, and she was so embarrassed.

When the ox cart arrived at the door, Shen Xiaobin jumped off first, took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, and handed one to everyone after Lu Xing'an introduced it. The cigarettes he took were produced at eight cents a box. Although they were cheap, few people in the countryside would spend money to buy them. They would just tear some newspaper and roll some tobacco leaves, or buy a pipe and smoke for a long time.

No one complained about the bad quality of the cigarettes. Those who received the cigarettes felt very proud and were very happy.

Lu Qinlan and Su Xiaomei each carried a bag of loose hard candies and distributed them to the people. Each person could get one. After a while of greeting at the door, everyone went into the house.

Shen Meng watched with great interest. It was the first time for her to see such a famous scene of country people getting engaged, and she was curious about everything about it.

Shen Shoutian and Shen Yutian took all the things they brought into the house, including two fish, one for the Lu family and one for the matchmaker, five kilograms of fat pork, fifty kilograms of wheat and one hundred kilograms of corn, two large front doors, cigarettes, alcohol, candy, peach cakes, six feet of cloth, a pair of cotton shoes, two red and green silk scarves, and finally a small box, filling the table.

Zhu Juying and Uncle Guai's eyes were red with tears, not because they were happy to see the things, but because the Shen family valued their Xiangxiang.

The two older brothers, Lu Xingan and Lu Xingwang, were also happy to see this.

"Big sister, seeing you again makes me feel so close to you. We are finally in-laws."

"Yes, I am also looking forward to my eldest sister-in-law coming soon. The marriage of these two children can be settled, and her father and I will be relieved of a worry."

"Who says it isn't?"

Zhu Juying and Wang Guizhi were holding hands and chatting enthusiastically. Over there, Shen Fugui and Guai Shu moved a small stool and sat on the side smoking. From time to time, they looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, saying,
"Drink water, drink water."

"Not busy, not busy."

Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang stood beside their respective parents, occasionally looking at each other, then turning their heads away with red faces.

Shen Meng was enjoying watching it from the side. It was only when Lu Zhenping pulled her that she put away the rather obscene smile on her face.

"Juying, our Shen family really likes Xiangxiang and sincerely wants her to marry us. Don't worry, I dare not say that I treat her as my own daughter, but I will treat Xiangxiang the same way I treat Xiaomeng, Qinlan and Xiaomei, and I will definitely not let her suffer any grievances."

"I believe it, I believe it. Xiao Meng has always taken good care of our family and Xiang Xiang. Xiao Bin, Xiang Xiang's father and I like him from the bottom of our hearts. We hope that the two children can get married soon!"

Wang Guizhi took the small box from the table and handed it to Lu Xiangxiang in front of everyone.

"Good boy, this is a watch I bought for you, a Butterfly watch, and a Forever bicycle. When you get married, Xiaobin's father and I will also prepare some for you. Others have them, so you will never be wronged. You will only have more than others, not less."
