Chapter 215: Engagement Dinner (7)

Chapter 215: Engagement Dinner (7)

Mo Beihan and Jiang Yingqiu went to the main room to give the engagement presents to Gu Yunshen.

Gu Conghua did not see much when he saw the gifts, but he inwardly felt better.

The Gu family had plenty of wealth and jewels. He did not care about these. But given the current circumstances, it was good that the Mo family was still being so particular.

At least, they were not like the other citizens who envied his family’s wealth but belittled their status.

The Gu family was composed almost entirely of grown men. Although Jiang Yingqiu was the senior member of the groom’s family, she really did not know what to say to all these men. Fang Ling and Zhou Ping were busy in the kitchen, so she could only sit with Wen Ruyu and listen to Mo Beihan talk to these people.

Mo Chengxu and Mo Chengxu were also at the Gu house. They had run to see their Young Aunt.

The Gu children were delighted. They had just eaten so much meat last night, and there was even more today. They were wild with joy!

The children were in Gu Qingyao’s room, staring at her beautiful clothes.

Today, Li Fangting was wearing the new clothes that Gu Qingyao had made for her. She had a new quilted jacket and trousers in a floral pattern. The material was not particularly good, but it looked quite nice. They were stuffed with new cotton wool and were particularly warm when she put them on. Li Fangting had not yet stopped smiling today.

Gu Qingyao brought out some sweets for the children. They took their sweets, hurriedly unwrapped one and stuffed it into their mouths. As the sweetness spread, they all smiled broadly.

Gu Qingyao was amused when she looked at the children!

Time moved slowly on and the guests began to arrive at the Gu house. The first to arrive was the leader of the Qing River Brigade, Wang Mingtao. Next came the leader of the Southern Lake Brigade, and Mo Beihan’s uncle, Jiang Feng!

Then there was the butcher from town, Wang Ping!

In these times, butchery was a lucrative occupation. Because someone who slaughtered pigs would have meat to eat, this was very attractive to everyone.

Wang Ping’s job was a lucrative one and highly paid. Even though he was in town, he was highly sought after.

After that came the granary manager, Yang Jing, the supervisor of the textile factory, Zhang Xiong and his son, Zhang Ting Li, and the manager of the departmental store in town, Wang Zhou.

They were all important people.

Actually, some of Mo Beihan’s connections were the same as those of the Gu brothers. He had not invited all of them. The Gu brothers had invited some.

An example was Xu Jingzhi, whom the Gu brothers had brought back from the city.

His father was the head of Jiangchong City.

Gu Jinye, Gu Jinlin and Gu Jinfeng had gone to town to buy presents for Gu Qingyao.

Among the three of them, Gu Jinfeng was the richest, and Gu Jinlin was the poorest.

Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle’s families were doing well in their careers, and their salaries were very high. They were all in highly sought-after jobs.

But Third Uncle’s family was different. They had ordinary jobs and their salaries were low.

Third Uncle only earned fifty or almost sixty dollars a month. In these times, this was already considered to be very high among salaried workers.

His two sons, Third Brother and Fifth Brother, did not draw a high pay. Each of them earned forty dollars. The combined income of these two sons and their father was not even as high as that of Fourth Brother, Gu Jinfeng’s, individual salary.

In addition, they had two younger ones at home.

Second Uncle’s family was different. They had no burdens in their family as the children were all grown. Fourth Brother Gu Jinfeng was the youngest.

Gu Jinfeng gave Gu Qingyao an imported watch.

Gu Qingyao was shocked when she saw it.

“Fourth Brother, why did you buy something so expensive?”

Heavens!

Mo Beihan had bought her two watches, and now Fourth Brother had bought her another one. So she had three watches.
