After all, this is a marriage of a daughter, and it is definitely not possible to get the certificate without the parents of both parties meeting and negotiating an agreement.
Therefore, it is still necessary to arrange a meeting between the two elderly parties.
Li Bowen’s idea of obtaining the certificate directly came to nothing, but it was just postponed for a few days.
After hearing what Yu’s father said, he agreed.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt. When I get back, I will tell my uncle and the others that they have also wanted to meet you and your elders for a long time!"
After eating, we sat for a while. Li Bowen stood up and left, and Yu Li sent him out. The two held hands outside the gate, and Li Bowen pinched her cheek: "Little Lily, you will be my wife soon, are you happy?"
Yu Li blushed and responded in a low voice: "Well, I'm happy!"
"Then come and give me a kiss!"
"No, I hate it, in public! Let people see it!"
Li Bowen looked around: "Where is there! Hurry up!"
Yu Li stood up and kissed her hard. He said to Li Bowen: "Okay, let's go quickly, it's already dark!"
After getting a satisfactory result, Li Bowen got on the bike and left the alley with a smile.
After watching the figure disappear, Yu Li put her hands back and walked back with small steps. Just after passing the door, she heard a strangled voice: "Little Lily, are you? I am a daughter-in-law, are you happy or not? Then come and kiss me, I don’t want you to hate me!”
Yu Li turned around and saw that Yu Haitang was hiding behind the door, following the example of the two of them just now! dialogue.
"Smelly girl, you're looking for a beating, right?"
"Ah! I'm beating someone, someone is going to kill someone and silence me!" Yu Haitang laughed and ran away, Yu Li was there He chased after him.
...
Back at Nanluogu Lane, Li Bowen pushed the tricycle into the hospital, put it in the corner, and then went home to report today's situation to his uncle and aunt.
After saying that Yu Li’s parents wanted to discuss their marriage with her uncle and aunt on Sunday, they got up and returned to the middle courtyard.
Time flies by and it’s the weekend in a blink of an eye.
Li Bowen got up early in the morning and waited for his uncle and others to pack up. At around nine o'clock in the morning, Li Mei was left to look after the house, and the three of them went to Yu's house with large and small packages. Go and propose marriage.
According to the rules of old Beijing, the girl’s parents will not go to the groom’s house before marriage. If they do, they will look reluctant and like they are asking for something. Only the groom’s parents will go to the girl’s house to give a betrothal gift and discuss the marriage contract.
The real action is after the daughter gets married. Of course, she will come to inquire about the situation of the groom's family.
After arriving at Yu’s house, Li Dahai, Li Bowen, Yu’s father and Yu’s uncles were sitting in the outer room drinking tea, while the aunt, Yu’s mother, Yu Li, Wang Matchmaker and other female relatives were chatting in the inner room. Homely.
Everything is already settled, the only thing that needs to be discussed now is the wedding date and the bride price.
The prices of the betrothal gifts are basically the same. Yu Dahai prepared a bonus of ten yuan. The betrothal gifts are the melon seeds, peanuts, wedding candies, and boxes of candied fruits and snacks he brought.
As for what the man wants to buy at home, it all depends on the man himself. Anyway, they are all for the young couple. The more he buys, the more he values the woman and the better the family conditions are.
Needless to say, the Li family naturally has so much monthly salary that Li Dahai can afford anything as long as he has tickets. It just so happens that Li Bowen got back a bunch of tickets.
They were ready to buy all the thirty-six legs of the Three Turns and One Ring.
This made Yu's father feel very proud, and he had a smile on his face from beginning to end.
As for the woman's dowry, it mainly consists of daily necessities such as quilts, washbasins, thermoses, and mirrors. As for whether the parents will give their daughter money for self-care, it depends on the woman's family situation.

We went there at around ten in the morning, and the family didn’t come back until the sun went down.
Li Dahai and Yu’s father made an agreement to ask Li Bowen and Yu Li to get their marriage certificates on Monday, just in time to get married before the Chinese New Year, otherwise they would have to go again After delaying it for an extra month, Lao Lier's rule is that you can't get married in the first month. If you miss the twelfth lunar month, you can only wait until spring starts in February.
Since today is a festive day, Li Dahai and Li Bowen couldn't help but drink a few more drinks. Although they were not drunk, they were still a little unsteady when walking. They asked Xiaofeng to walk outside again. The top makes me even more dizzy.
Li Bowen has a problem, that is, he gets sleepy after drinking. Especially if he drinks too much, he must sleep for several hours to recover.
When I got home, I wanted to go to the middle courtyard to sleep.
But he was stopped by Li Mei: "Brother, go sleep in the front room in the back room!"
"Why? It's so cold in the back room." Li Bowenhuang He stood up and stopped.
"Don't worry, I've put the stove on for you. It's still warm. Sister Yuyu has a rest today. I saw that she took off all the quilts and mattresses at home and washed them. She didn't even put away the mattress. "But you can't sleep even if you go there!" Li Mei quickly stepped forward to support Li Bowen.
"Okay, I'll go sleep in the front!" The bedding and other things have been removed, and you can't sleep on a bare bed today. You will have to sleep in trouble.
Li Mei helped Li Bowen back to the room. After he fell asleep, he came back and said to the aunt: "Auntie, my brother has fallen asleep."
The aunt nodded: "Well, then you should quickly pack up and go to bed!"
After Li Mei returned to her room, the aunt went out to the middle courtyard. When she got to the middle yard, she knocked on the door and opened the door. rainShui's door: "Yu Yu, are you ready?"
He Yuyu nodded and said shyly: "Well, I'm ready!"
"Then Go, Bowen is in his room in the back room, he has fallen asleep after drinking too much." The aunt nodded.
Just when He Yuyu was about to leave, the aunt stretched out her hand and pulled her back: "Girl, you have to think about it, you will not be able to turn back after taking this step!"
He Yuyu nodded firmly: "Don't worry, aunt, I've thought about it."
"Well, that's good. Don't worry, if I dare to treat you badly in the future, I'll take care of it, aunt." Him!"
"Thank you, aunt, I know you are the best!" He Yuyu held her arm and smiled.
It is winter now, and the weather gets colder after nightfall. Every household has its doors and windows closed tightly, and no one comes out to wander around.
He Yuyu walked to the front yard without meeting anyone, and went directly to Li Bowen's door.
Push the door in, then close the door and insert the latch.
He lit a candle, walked to Li Bowen and sat down next to him. Looking at the face that had fallen asleep, he reached out his hand and gently crossed his face, murmuring: "Brother Bowen, I will stay with you all my life." With you!"
Then he gently raised his hand and the candle flame was extinguished.
Li Bowen had a dream, a beautiful dream.
When it was almost dawn in the early morning, I woke up, stretched, and when I lowered my arms, I felt the difference.
There was actually a person lying next to him. He reached out and touched his long hair. Li Bowen shivered and quickly sat up. Wasn't he dreaming before?
He quickly reached for the match on the bedside table and lit the candle.
Through the light, I saw the long black hair scattered on the pillow next to me. I gently peeled the long hair away and saw the slightly frowning face.
"Rain?"
