"For me?"

"Ah."

Zhou Yuheng's ears turned red. Xu Qingluo looked down at the things in the bag. When she saw what they were, her face was filled with surprise and delight.

"Where did you buy it?"

"I asked a friend to bring it to me from abroad. He happened to be back in Hai City to visit relatives yesterday."

Zhou Yuheng has many friends, from all walks of life, including children of high-ranking officials, and some are friends he met himself or former comrades-in-arms.

However, as a girl, Xu Qingluo had little contact with these children from wealthy families and high-ranking officials, and her father and mother deliberately prevented her from having any contact with them.

But the main thing was that she would just tell Xu's mother what she wanted, and Xu's mother would ask her colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to bring it to her, so she didn't have to worry about it.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

This gift touched Xu Qingluo's heart, and Zhou Yuheng was also happy to see that she liked it.

The two people were very affectionate, and it was obvious that they were willing to do so. After seeing this, the four elders looked at each other, and then their eyes were filled with smiles and relief.

The matchmaker smiled even more happily when she saw this scene. She knew that she would receive a lot of red envelopes from her employer's family for her work today.

"Comrade Xu Qingluo and Comrade Zhou Yuheng are a perfect match, and their free love is a result of their previous life's karma."

The matchmaker facilitated the progress of the conversation between the two families at a critical moment, and Xu's mother asked the two children to sit down and listen together.

"Xiao Heng, Xiao Luo, come and sit down."

Xu Qingluo walked over and sat down next to Xu's father and mother, and Zhou Yuheng also sat next to his parents. The matchmaker saw that it was almost time and began to get down to business.

Everyone sat down, and the matchmaker began to play her role. In a few words, she guided Zhou's father and mother and Xu's father and mother to the matter of dowry and gifts.

"Lao Xu, Wen Yun, we plan to give 1000 yuan as a betrothal gift, a watch, a bicycle, a sewing machine, a radio, and legs."

"After we get married, we'll privately give the two children 2000 yuan as a settlement allowance. What do you think?"

Zhou's father and mother expressed their own thoughts, and the betrothal gift given by the Zhou family was similar to what Xu's father and mother had guessed.

After all, Mr. Zhou is in a high position and has great power. The marriage between the two families has already involved the interests of certain people, so we should keep a low profile where we should.

Father Xu nodded, then looked at Mother Xu, who also expressed her own thoughts.

"Of course it's good. A marriage between two families will inevitably make people wary. We should keep a low profile where we should."

Zhou's father and mother knew in their hearts that Xu's father and mother would definitely agree. They were all good friends who knew each other well and were also sensible people, so many things did not need to be explained too clearly.

"Our family gave 888 yuan as a dowry, plus a watch, two new quilts, two new pillows, and new clothes for the two children. Our family paid for everything."

"If there's any furniture that needs to be filled later, our Xu family will pay for it."

Zhou's father and mother were also satisfied. This money would be given to the two children anyway, so as long as they could save face, it would be fine.

After discussing the dowry and gifts, the two families also began to discuss the time and arrangements for the wedding ceremony.

"Old Zhou and I have this idea: let's have a banquet in Haishi first and invite your neighbors, colleagues, relatives and friends to come and have some fun."

"Then let's go to Kyoto together and have a big show. What do you think?"

Of the Xu family, only Xu Qingluo's family is developing in Hai City. Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu are in Su City, and the two elders went to Kyoto with Grandpa Zhou yesterday.

Grandpa Xu had a patient in Kyoto who needed psychological treatment, and Grandpa Zhou brought a guard with him, so Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu went with Grandpa Zhou.

So when the wedding was held in Hai City, Xu's father and mother's colleagues and neighbors were invited to join in the fun.

"it is good."

Xu's father and mother had no objection, and the two families set a date for the wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremony in Hai City was scheduled for five days later, on August 16th.

Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Zhou had already chosen the date for the wedding banquet in Kyoto, August 28th. This day was a good day, and Xu Qingluo and the others had enough time to go to Kyoto.

The time was set, and the two families hit it off immediately. The matchmaker even congratulated them with a smile.

"The two families are getting married, and we wish the two newlyweds a harmonious relationship, mutual respect, and a long life together."

The matchmaker's work was completed. When she left, Zhou's mother gave her a big red envelope, and Xu's mother also gave her a big red envelope.

The matchmaker felt the thickness of the two red envelopes, and the smile on her face could not be suppressed at all. When she reached the door of the house, she turned back again and said auspicious words, which showed how happy she was.

After the marriage was discussed, the Zhou family was invited by Xu's father and mother to stay for dinner. Soon, the neighbors who came to watch the fun also came to the house out of curiosity.

Mother Xu smiled and distributed some candies to everyone. Everyone asked curiously whether Xu Qingluo's marriage had been settled, and Mother Xu did not hide anything.

"Yes, that's my future son-in-law."

"Wait until everyone comes to the wedding on the 16th and have some fun together."

Xu's mother proudly introduced Zhou Yuheng to everyone. Zhou Yuheng quickly stood up and nodded to the guests as a greeting.

When everyone heard that there was wedding wine to drink, they all smiled and offered congratulations. Although no one knew whether the blessings were sincere or false, everyone had to save face in front of Mr. and Mrs. Xu.

Zhou's father and mother also followed Xu's mother in inviting everyone to come to the wedding for the banquet. The house was bustling with activity the whole afternoon, with people coming to talk non-stop.

Now, everyone knew what Xu Qingluo’s fiancé looked like, and also knew that the Xu family’s youngest daughter’s marriage was settled.

The families in the family compound who had been worried about something can finally put their worries to rest.

Originally, everyone thought that their sons had a chance to become the son-in-law of the deputy mayor of Hai City, but in the end, the girl went straight to Kyoto to marry an officer.

It is said that the two old men are old friends. The Xu family says that they don't care about family background, but in fact they still want their daughter to marry into a wealthy family.

Xu's father and mother didn't care what outsiders thought. Now that their daughter's marriage was settled, they could finally put their minds at ease about what they had been worrying about.

After Mr. and Mrs. Xu saw the guests off, they began to prepare dinner. Mother Zhou went to the kitchen to help with a smile.

"Why are you here to help?"

"We will be a family from now on, why are you still being polite to me?"

With no outsiders around, Zhou's mother and Xu's mother didn't have to put on any pretense, and they quickly cooked dinner together.

As for Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng, Xu Qingluo received instructions from her parents to bring Zhou Yuheng to visit her room.

It was the first time that Zhou Yuheng came to Xu Qingluo's room. Xu Qingluo's room was very tidy, with many ornaments that girls liked, and there were flowers on the desk.

There was a fragrance in Xu Qingluo's room. It was Xu Qingluo's body fragrance. The fragrance was very sweet and soothing.
