Chapter 247 Parents want to learn Mandarin
"This betrothal gift is not high at all. Our family can still pay for these betrothal gifts."
Yun Changda said that after all, he and his children are saving money. Apart from building this house, there is no big expense, and it saves all the money for his son to marry a wife.
"Jingting's family means, when will you get engaged to Jingting?" Wang Xue asked.
"Jingting's family means that the two families are far apart, so the engagement wine will be held separately. Their family's engagement wine is on October 2 this year. After all, there are many people in their family who are civil servants and are usually busy." Yun Tao said.
"October 2nd, it will only take two months to come. It seems that we are going to prepare for engagement now. As for the time for our family to hold an engagement drink, I will go to the town tomorrow to ask a fortune teller to help us see the days, and choose a good day to give your marriage to Jingting, so that your father and I will be relieved. You are in your thirties. If you don't give this marriage, your father and I will not be able to sleep well at night."
Wang Mei said that after all, her son is in his thirties, and boys of this age in the village are already married, and there are many children who are already in elementary school, but her precious son doesn’t even have a girlfriend. How can the two old people not worry?
After all, in the countryside, if a man is not married until he is thirty, he will be considered to have something wrong with this man. The girls in the village will not like boys over thirty years old. If the boys in the village are 28 or 9, they will have no partner yet, and the parents at home will be anxious.
"Mom, tomorrow I will go to the county town with my uncle and others to get a contract. Maybe I will come back later. When you go to the town tomorrow, buy some vegetables. In the evening, I invited people from the village committee to come to my house for dinner." Yun Tao said to his mother.
"Are they all coming to our house for dinner?" Wang Mei asked.
"Except for the college student village official, everyone else came back to our house for dinner. Mom, you can also buy a few bottles of Jinliufu Bar." Yun Tao said.
"Do you cook?"
Yun Changda asked, after all, Yun Changda had eaten the dishes made by his son last time, and still remembered the delicious taste, and always wanted to eat them again. Fortunately, his son came back so soon, why did Yun Changda want his son to cook for him? His son's cooking skills are much better than his mother's cooking skills.
"Well, I'll prepare the meal tomorrow night." Yun Tao said.
"What kind of food do you want to buy?"
Wang Mei asked, after all, she didn't know what dishes her son wanted to cook, and it was not easy to buy vegetables.
"I've agreed to you tomorrow morning, but now I'll say it, you'll easily forget it." Yun Tao said.
"Okay, Ergou, how do you feel when you go to Beijing this time? Is the capital very beautiful?"
Wang Mei asked, Wang Mei was the same as Yun Changda. She didn't know a few big words and had never been to any big cities, so she was very curious about what the capital city of Kyoto looks like, and whether it was as beautiful as you saw on TV.
After all, for Wang Mei and Yun Changda, the appearance of a big city that can be seen can only be seen on TV. Not to mention that although Yun Tao’s parents don’t understand the conversation in the TV series, they still feel very excited. They both like to discuss the scenes on TV to the two of them, as if they really understand.
When Yun Tao was young, he often said that his parents couldn't understand it, so he didn't talk nonsense. The acting on TV was completely different from what they said. However, when he grew up, Yun Tao no longer said that his parents were wrong. After all, this is also a kind of fun for them. As long as they are happy, what does the plots on TV have to do with the right or wrong?
"It's okay. I didn't go anywhere. I don't know what it is. The air in Beijing is not very good, which makes people feel uncomfortable. In two months, our whole family will go to Beijing, so we will go to Beijing well." Yun Tao said.
"We're going to Beijing too?" Wang Mei asked in surprise.
"Of course, when we get engaged on October 2nd, our whole family will go to Jingting's house. My engagement wine with Jingting and I are held in Beijing. Our family must go there." Yun Tao said.
"It's not good for the woman's parents to go to the engagement wine."
Yun Changda said that after all, in rural Wenzhou, the man went to the woman's house to attend the engagement banquet, and the man's parents did not go there, and they were usually accompanied by matchmakers.
"It doesn't matter, their engagement customs in Beijing are different from ours. There are no such rules. Moreover, Tingting's grandfather told me specifically that you want to go to Beijing to attend this engagement ceremony." Yun Tao said.
"Jing Ting's grandfather invites us?"
Yun Changda asked, actually Yun Changda really wanted to go to Beijing, which is the capital of the country, a real big city. As long as he goes to the capital, he will definitely be a striking figure when he comes back. At that time, he can also show off like other people who have been to big cities.
"Yes, Jing Ting's family wants you to go. After all, we will be in-laws in the future, so we have to meet each other."
Yun Tao said that Yun Tao wanted to take advantage of the engagement and accompany his parents to visit Beijing and have a good time to visit those scenic spots and historical sites.
"Old woman, look?" Yun Changda asked his wife.
"Since Jing Ting's family invites us to go, we can go there too. No matter how we are in-laws in the future, we have to meet each other anyway. Besides, the process of engagement is like, our son doesn't understand at all, so how can we rest assured if we don't follow."
Wang Mei said that after all, the engagement process is very particular, so that her son will not understand anything and let the woman have any objection.
"But we don't know how to speak Mandarin! How can we communicate with the parents of the woman?" Yun Changda said with some concern.
"You can't speak Mandarin, but I can speak a little."
Wang Mei whitened Yun Changda and said, "Wang Mei often talked to the rural wives in the village who were married from other places, but she learned a lot of Mandarin. Although she didn't speak well, the foreign wives in the countryside still understood it."
As for whether those people in Beijing can understand it, Yun Tao probably can understand it at most 50% of Jing Ting's family, and it depends on one's guess for the others. After all, when Zeng Quan and Jing Ting came last time, Zeng Quan and Jing Ting and others were half-understood, and Yun Tao helped translate some of them.
"Whoever says I don't understand, I can understand a little, and I can also say something."
Yun Changda said dissatisfiedly that in the rural areas of Wenzhou City, there are many foreign personnel working. When Yun Changda does such physical work, he will encounter these foreigners working together. He learns some Mandarin, but he only knows less.
"Dad and Mom, this time our whole family will go. At that time, my sister and brother-in-law's family will also go. They will speak Mandarin, so it will be much more convenient for everyone to communicate." Yun Tao said.
"It would be great if your sister and brother-in-law were there too."
Wang Mei said happily that if her daughter and son-in-law were also going with her, she would not have to worry about language communication issues. Her daughter and son-in-law are both educated people, but she is not as ignorant as she is.
"We have so many people who go to Jingting's house, won't have any objections."
Yun Changda said worriedly, after all, the male boss would not drink at the woman's house in Wenzhou, so as not to be a bit overwhelming.
"No, don't worry, parents, Jing Ting's family is all very good." Yun Tao said.
"The child's father, we have to learn Mandarin from others in the past two months, so as not to be embarrassed to go to Beijing." Wang Mei said to Yun Changda.
"I have to work during the day, but who can I learn from at night? I have to teach you how to do it."
Yun Changda said, after all, who in the countryside is so idle? He comes to his home to teach Mandarin every night. Besides, he is so old, he doesn’t know if he can learn it.
"Dad, mom, don't worry about this matter. I'll ask Wang Xue to come to our house every day and teach you Mandarin." Yun Tao said.
"Of course it's good to let Wang Xue teach us, how are you doing with Wang Xue now?"
Wang Mei asked with concern, after all, Wang Xue is also the ideal daughter-in-law in Wang Mei's heart. Now, Wang Xue is very sorry for her son as a "little wife" so aggrieved.
"It's pretty good." Yun Tao said.
"Ergou, you are going to get engaged to Jing Ting. How do you deal with Wang Xue's affairs? After all, it's not a big deal to drag it like this. If you should break up, you should break up."
Yun Changda said that Yun Changda felt that his son was a little distorted now, and he was almost engaged to Jing Ting, and he was still entangled with Wang Xue. This is not only sorry to Jing Ting, but also to Wang Xue. If others know that Wang Xue really has a unclear relationship with her son, how can the little girl Wang Xue get married in the future?
"Dad, Wang Xue and I will not break up. Wang Xue doesn't mind following me without a name, and Jing Ting doesn't mind Wang Xue's existence. Now the relationship between them is good like a sister."
Yun Tao said that Yun Tao would never be able to break up with Wang Xue. Besides, Yun Tao is more than Wang Xue’s “little wife” now. Including Zeng Quan and Liu Yiyi, Yun Tao already has three little wives, and Yun Tao doesn’t want to give up any of them.
"But you can't keep your money like this. If Wang Xue's family knows, they will fight to you."
Yun Changda said worriedly, in fact, who doesn’t want to be filial to himself with one more daughter-in-law, but this is really something. Whose family is not happy if their unmarried beautiful daughter is a young girl for others.
"They dare! This is what they said. As long as Ergou can marry the daughter of a beautiful official family in the city, he will let their daughter be the youngest for our children. This is what he said in front of many villagers. If he dares to regret it, our Yun family is not easy to bully."
