Super Scholar’s Japanese Girlfriend - Chapter 223

[Chapter 222 We are engaged!]

Getting married is a big event, Shen Yu and Lixiang’s marriage proposal has been successful, so the next process will be the turn of the two families.

Back at the hotel, I went to my parents’ room first. They were checking the list of dowry gifts.

After all, he only has a son, this is the most important thing in his life, how can Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru not care.

Because the customs of China and Japan are slightly different, the specific dowry has been discussed with Kazuo Asaba and his wife on the phone, and they have been prepared before coming.

In addition to the regular nine products on the Japanese side, Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru also gave a set of gold accessories, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and wedding rings, and then Kazuo Asaba and Miori also gave back a suit and shirt. Two pieces, two pairs of shoes, a set of mattresses, etc. Basically, the dowry and return gifts of both parties are similar, and it has been agreed that these will be handed over to Shen Yu and Lixiang after their marriage.

“Where have you been running all day, no one can be seen.”

“I’ll just walk around…”

Shen Yu came over to help and packed the dowry gift that had been counted and confirmed.

Naturally, the old parents didn’t believe what Shen Yu said about strolling around, and looked at him suspiciously, yawned, and got up to wash up and rest.

“Rest early, I will visit you tomorrow morning. Don’t let your uncle Asaba and Aunt Miori look at you with a sullen look on your face, just give a good impression.”

“That’s for sure, I went back to my room to sleep.”

“Don’t go to bed too late!”

“understood.”

After Shen Yu left, Zhang Xiaoru and Shen Deyou lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling and couldn’t sleep.

“Oh, what are you doing over and over again…”

“I can’t sleep. Old Shen, can you sleep?”

“Close your eyes, don’t think about anything, you will fall asleep in a while…”

“Can you not? Your son! Getting married!”

“If you mention it again, we won’t have to sleep tonight.”

“Time flies so fast, eh, old Shen, do you feel like we only got married yesterday, and then in a blink of an eye, my son also found a partner, and now they’re starting a family and starting a business.”

“Well. That’s good, isn’t that what you’ve always thought.”

“I can’t even tell how I feel…”

Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru sighed in their hearts that when their son got married, he could no longer treat him as a child. He would have his own family, and his parents would gradually withdraw from his life, which was both gratifying and sad.

“Old Shen, do you still remember the zoo we went to when we were young? Shen Yu would take my hand and say, “Mom, look at the elephant, the elephant is so big, and you will ride him on your back, how happy he is. A mom and dad, thinking about it, felt very happy at that time, in a blink of an eye, the son is now grown up and is about to get married.”

“When we are free, we can go around and go around. When I was young, I never took you romantically. This is what I owe you.”

“If we go shopping, who will help him take the child?”

“…Isn’t this what you said when you urged him to get married before, when the stinky boy gets married, we will be freed.”

“You liberate yourself, I don’t have time to go, I want to take my grandson.”

Also insomnia tonight, there are Kazuo Asaba and Miori, perhaps compared to them, Rika’s parents feel more sad, after all, Yokohama is really far from Sunan…

…

Shen Yu was lying on the bed, playing a video with Lixiang who was also lying in the bed.

“Husband, are you still asleep?”

“I’m so excited I can’t sleep. How about you?”

“Hehe, Lixiang can’t sleep either.”

He put the phone to his heart and asked her, “Did you hear my pounding heartbeat.”

“Super loud!”

“Say, what if your parents don’t want you to go and marry you to me…”

“Then Lixiang won’t marry you~”

“you dare?”

It was still Shen Yu who softened and said obediently, “In the future, we will come back to Yokohama at least three times a year. When do you think it’s good to come back?”

“Then the New Year, the cherry blossom season, and the fireworks festival!”

“It’s all up to you.”

Shen Yu and Li Xiang, who were about to have a major event in their life, were so excited that they couldn’t fall asleep. They chatted little by little about trivial things. After chatting very late, they each fell asleep with a smile in a daze.

…

The seven o’clock alarm clock just played the first note, Shen Yu opened his eyes immediately, sat up from the bed with a clatter, slapped his cheeks with his hands, looked at the time and date and the surrounding environment to make sure that he was not dreaming.

The video of the call was still on, but luckily the charger was plugged in, but Li Xiang was not seen on the screen, only the ceiling of her room.

Shen Yu didn’t wake her up, didn’t hang up the call, got up quickly and got ready to wash up.

Before he came, he had already had his hair cut, and he also made a special appearance and trimmed his eyebrows.

In the suitcase, there are two sets of clothes that Lixiang bought for him, one set is to wear when he comes to visit today, and the other set is to wear when the knot ceremony is tomorrow.

After a careful shower, my face is clean, my beard is shaved, my hair is glued, and my forehead is exposed.

Dressing up in front of the mirror for a long time, the whole person looks handsome and energetic.

After doing this, it was already eight o’clock, and the screen of the mobile phone fluttered, revealing Li Xiang’s sleepy look.

“Master Brain… Master Brain?”

“you’re awake?”

Shen Yu picked up the phone, but adjusted the direction of the camera so that she couldn’t see herself.

“Well, where are you, I can’t see you…”

“I won’t show you first, I’m afraid I’ll make you look handsome. I’ll have breakfast later and go to your house. Do you want to wait for me in the room?”

“!! Lixiang get up now!”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yu went to help his parents get things, had breakfast at the hotel together, and took a taxi to Lixiang’s house at nine o’clock.

Today is the visit in the past, that is, the in-law meeting process before the engagement. After all, the two families are far away, and it is inconvenient to visit the door. Many details of the engagement have been communicated and arranged on the phone. Today, I mainly focus on the wedding schedule. , method, etc. are selected.

A visit is also a big event, and it must be taken seriously.

Look at Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru’s outfits today, they used to dress casually, but today they are also very formal.

“Mom, this is the first time I see you in a skirt and high heels.”

“How about it?”

“nice.”

Zhang Xiaoru was also a beautiful girl when she was young, but she didn’t pay as much attention to maintenance as Miori, but after dressing up carefully, she could indeed see a lot of the charm of her youth.

The gloomy complexion and eyebrows are like that of my mother, the face contour and height are like that of my father, and the nose is high, which combines the advantages of the two.

After breakfast, Shen Yu helped to bring things, and the trunk was full. These were greeting gifts. In addition to some fruits, they also included good tea and wine, and a high-quality silk.

Shen Yu’s family has already set off, and Lixiang’s family is already ready.

Today is a family meeting, Miori woke up early in the morning to prepare, including the ingredients for lunch, including home hygiene, new slippers to welcome guests, etc. The couple also changed into formal clothes, Miori was busy Housework, Kazuo Asaba was washing the tea set again and again, fiddling with the green plants in the yard and house.

Lixiang was excited like a little bird, running upstairs and downstairs.

“Dangdang~! Mom, look, does this dress look good?”

“Every one looks good, which one does Lixiang want to wear?”

“I do not know.”

Lixiang ran back to the room again, and finally chose a small skirt with a yellow sprout, which had a touching tenderness.

“Mom, rest for a while, Lixiang will choose vegetables.”

“Mom can’t be free, go and play by yourself.”

When she said this, it took a while for Miori to react, and she thought of Rika as a child again.

“Lixiang is no longer a child.”

She stretched out her left hand, wearing the engagement diamond ring that Shen Yu had given her on her ring finger, shook it in front of Miori, and said with a smile, “Isn’t it nice?”

“…Are you afraid that your mother will regret not letting you marry?”

“No, mom won’t let Lixiang marry, then Lixiang won’t marry!”

Saying that, he covered the ring tightly like a baby, and ran away in a hurry.

Miori looked at Rika’s back, thinking that when she ran away, Rika could probably run faster than Bolt.

…

While waiting nervously, at half past nine, the doorbell rang.

Upstairs, Rika rushed down and hurriedly reminded Kazuo Asaba and Miori: “It must be Shen Yu-kun and uncle and aunt! They are here! I’ll open the door!”

Miori held her down and asked her to follow behind. The couple tidied up their clothes, Kazuo Asaba walked in front, Miori and Rika followed behind him, and the family went out to greet him.

When the door opened, the first person I saw was Shen Deyou, Shen Yu and Zhang Xiaoru followed behind him, Shen Yu was carrying a lot of things.

“Asaba-san, we’re here to visit.”

“Brother Shen, you have worked hard all the way!”

The head of the two families smiled heartily and hugged.

Shen Yu and Lixiang also bowed down to say hello to their uncles and aunts. When they raised their heads, they looked at each other, raised eyebrows, didn’t speak, and only made eye contact.

Li Xiang’s little face was a little red, and she was extremely reserved, but the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, she still couldn’t hide her inner happiness.

The two walked behind the parents in tacit understanding, and where they couldn’t see, the little hands in the middle hooked together.

“Whee……”

“What are you laughing at.”

“Pear fragrance is happy.”

“Kiss one secretly?”

“Never.”

When the parents entered the room, Lixiang quickly stood on tiptoe and sipped on Shen Yu’s cheek, and slipped away like a little swallow.

The last time I came to Lixiang’s house was on New Year’s Day, and now it’s midsummer in August. The yard has changed a lot, full of flowers of all colors, and the kotatsu in the house has been put away and replaced by a mat.

Taking their seats at the tea table where the guests were received, Lixiang put her hands on her thighs, with a look of ‘If you want to marry me, marry me’, ‘If you want to get married, I will marry you too’. She will not refute anything, only With a blushing face, the chick nods as if pecking at the rice.

Miori was in charge of boiling water to make tea, and it was mainly Kazuo Asaba and Shen Deyou who were talking.

After all, it was the first time. At the beginning, I talked about other things, such as the weather, the company, traffic, the environment, the more I talked, the more crooked I almost talked about aliens.

Fortunately, the topic was changed, and the two parties each took out the list of dowry gifts for each other to review, and then talked about the arrangement of the ceremony for tomorrow’s settlement, and they reached an agreement smoothly.

On the issue of the wedding, it was finally decided that the wedding would be held in southern Jiangsu.

Usually, the wedding will not be too far from the wedding ceremony. After three or five months, the two sides have discussed it, and it is initially scheduled for January next year. After Zhang Xiaoru returns, find someone to choose a good date.

In terms of dowry, Shen Deyou and Zhang Xiaoru were also full of sincerity, and offered to buy another house in the city center for their two children, and Kazuo Asa also wanted to give their two children a new car.

The conversation was very enjoyable, and both Shen Yu and Lixiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Huaxia is different from Japan. Lixiang doesn’t need to change her surname after she gets married. This makes Kazuo Asaba quite like it, and she feels that his daughter is still the precious daughter of his Asaba family.

After chatting and chatting, we talked about the problem of children.

“Let’s give birth to two, preferably a boy, a girl, one is also fine, it’s hard to have more Lixiang, brother Asaba, you also like children, right?”

“Oh! Very good! Very good! Now, will you give birth?”

The eyes of the parents on both sides fell on Shen Yu and Lixiang, who were also tool workers.

“now……?”

“I do not want it!”

Li Xiang was so ashamed that she covered her face with her hands, how can she live now?

Before, she also wanted to have ten or eight babies with Shen Yujun, but after getting tired of being together, she felt that it would be better not to get pregnant so early for the time being. Anyway, she was still young, how good it would be to live the two worlds…

We ate dinner together at noon, and everything we should discuss is almost done.

Everyone drank a little wine and got a little drunk.

Shen Yu’s family returned to the hotel, and the two young people also kept their restraint, and they didn’t secretly make an appointment to meet again today.

I really have to take a good rest tonight and prepare for tomorrow’s end ceremony in the best possible state.

…

The wedding was held in southern Jiangsu, and the marriage ceremony was also the engagement ceremony. It was held at Rika’s house. The whole process of the ceremony was prepared by Kazuo Asaba and Miori.

The marriage of a daughter is a major event, and the ceremony of giving and receiving is more symbolic in the eyes of the Japanese than receiving a certificate.

The matchmaker had invited a well-respected uncle to serve as a witness. At the same time, a few days earlier, he had invited some close relatives and elders to witness this great event.

When he came to Lixiang’s house, Shen Yu didn’t see her. There were several seats for receiving guests in the yard. It was the first time that Lixiang’s relatives saw him. The language was a bit difficult, but Shen Yu still tried his best to impress him.

Fortunately, Lixiang didn’t make him wait long, and when he appeared in front of Shen Yu, his eyes lit up.

Like Kazuo Asaba and Miori, Rika also wore a kimono today, with a red ribbon tied to her hair behind her head, her hands folded on her lower abdomen, a cherry-colored dress tied tightly with a cloth belt, and she took small steps. Walking towards him, the light-colored clogs rattled.

It was the first time that Shen Yu saw Lixiang wearing a kimono, but she felt a sense of beauty and elegance that she had never seen before.

From her big eyes, Shen Yu still found the familiar taste of stupidity.

“Old…Shen Yujun!”

Li Xiang called him reservedly, smiled and bowed to say hello to the elders present.

“Why are you wearing a kimono today?”

“Does it look good?”

“very nice.”

“Because today is an important day in Rika’s life, I also wore a kimono when I came of age.”

“very nice.”

Shen Yu held her hand, and with Lixiang present as a small translator, the conversation with the guests went much smoother. The key is that the little charming wife will say a lot of good things to him.

The formal knot ceremony begins.

Everyone moved from the courtyard to the Japanese room where the ceremony was held. The parents of both parties were ready, and the newlyweds, Shen Yu and Lixiang, and their relatives also took their seats.

The Japanese room is very spacious, and the most striking thing is the long wooden table in front of it, with two red ribbon-wrapped knots on it.

After the ceremony is completed, the ceremony is brought home by the newlyweds for safekeeping.

The Japanese room was very quiet, and the Japanese had relatively few relatives. There were only about ten elders present. In addition to the uncle who was a matchmaker, the older one was the mother who was sitting next to Miori, and Rika’s grandmother.

My grandmother got married very early. Today is her granddaughter’s engagement day. She looks very happy. When Shen Yu’s family didn’t come, she kept talking with Lixiang.

As the protagonists of this knot ceremony, Shen Yu and Lixiang were sitting on both sides, looking upright and nervous.

From time to time, he would raise his eyes, secretly meet the eyes of the other party, frown, but dare not speak aloud.

Uncle began to preside over the ceremony.

“I’m very happy to witness this happy event. The children have finally grown up. Now, we are holding the ceremony of the Shen family and the Asaba family.”

He stretched out his hand and pointed his palm in the direction of the Shen Yu family: “The Shen family is full of sincerity and has come from afar to prepare a generous gift for the Asa Yu family.”

After the matchmaker spoke, the man’s female elders began to present gifts to the woman.

Zhang Xiaoru got up and walked to the long wooden table, holding the prepared dowry and directory, and slowly walked to Lixiang.

Li Xiang got up, probably feeling a little excited, her big eyes misty.

The uncle said to Lixiang, “Please accept this generous gift from the Shen family. I hope you can keep it forever.”

Lixiang solemnly took the gift from Zhang Xiaoru’s hand and said loudly, “I have received this precious gift, and I will keep it forever.”

“Xianyu’s wife, Xianzi, is filial, pious and sincere, and has prepared generous gifts for the Shen family.”

After the uncle opened his mouth, Rika’s grandmother, Mrs. Mise, got up, held a generous gift, and came to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu looked as tall as Tokyo Tower in front of the hunched grandmother, he also bent down actively, solemnly took the gift from Mrs. Mise, and also said loudly: “I have received this precious gift. A gift, and I will keep it forever.”

After exchanging gifts, the uncle held Shen Yu in one hand and Lixiang in the other, and then put Lixiang’s hand in Shen Yu’s palm.

“Time flies, and the years change. Only true emotions can be like the eternal nebula in the long night, leaving immortal traces. I am very lucky to witness the love between Shen Yu and Rika Asaha to be recognized by time.”

“I announce that Shen Yu and Asana Rika are officially engaged!”

“May you, hand in hand, love each other, and never part!”

After the uncle’s testimony was announced, there was warm applause in the court room.

Li Xiang cried like a tearful man, hugging Shen Yu tightly.

When a dream becomes a reality, happiness is smiling, eyes flashing with tears.

After the end of the ceremony, it was a lively banquet. Both the Shen Yu family and the Lixiang family drank a lot of wine. After the guests were entertained by Meizhi, after they left one after another, the two old men were still lying at the wine table. do it.

Shen Yu didn’t drink much, thanks to Lixiang’s grandmother, who kept pulling him and talking to Lixiang.

He told him to give birth to a big fat baby, explain what Lixiang should do after marriage, and so on.

The wedding will be held in southern Jiangsu in January next year, and Shen Yu has already planned it. Naturally, Lixiang will not be left alone in southern Jiangsu. Except for the husband and mother-in-law, Lixiang’s other relatives and friends can come, and he will invite them to southern Jiangsu to receive them well. , let everyone witness the wedding of him and Lixiang.

Shen Yu pretended to be drunk, and Li Xiang was also very sensible. He half-supported and half-resisted and hid him in his room. After closing the door, the two of them fell on the bed with a grunt.

Tonight is at Rika’s house, and it’s Rika wearing a kimono.

The faint moonlight is like a thin gauze, the wind of the summer night, intertwined with the girl’s soft moan…

The lingering with her is more intoxicating than fine wine.
