Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 858 - 858 Giving Diamond Rings

858 Giving Diamond Rings

As elders, Yun Shan and Chen Li had naturally prepared a big red packet. Yun Xi and Yun Yang did not have to give separate gifts, but Yun Xi liked Luo Chen very much and had carefully prepared gifts for the couple.

In this era, things like diamond rings were not popular for marriage, so Yun Xi went to the jewelry store and chose a pair of rings for the two of them.

Both of them worked in the army, so a complex look might be unnecessary. Yun Xi chose a style that looked low-key and calm.

Although diamonds were not particularly expensive now, a pair of rings like this would probably cost an ordinary family a year’s salary.

Ma Yan looked at the two gifts from Yun Shan’s family and did not raise any objections. After all, one should not blame others for being polite! Of course, the more gifts they received, the better!

This wedding was indeed held for family members and not for outsiders to simply watch. The two people’s congratulatory speech on the stage was very short. After a few simple words from the bottom of their hearts, they took their glasses and went downstairs to toast the elders.

Luo Chen’s father and Yun Lin drank one cup after another, and tears began to well up in their eyes.

Ma Yan welcomed guests from all over the place like the hostess.

“Yun Qiao! I’ll give my daughter to you! You have to be good to her, or I’ll make you pay even if I have to risk my old bones!” Luo Chen’s father had a little too much to drink. He walked unsteadily to Yun Qiao with his glass.

Even if a father was drunk and unconscious, he still wanted to protect his daughter. This might be fatherly love!

“Don’t worry, I will treat Luo Chen well! I will never betray her in this life! If I break my oath, I will die a horrible death!” In order to reassure his father-in-law, Yun Qiao stretched out his palm and made a gesture of swearing.

Luo Chen’s father patted Yun Qiao’s shoulder heavily.

“You’re a reliable and down-to-earth child! I’ll be at ease leaving my daughter in your care! Go on, you two continue to toast to the guests from all directions!”

Her father took his wine glass and walked back to his seat.

“It’s a day of great joy, so don’t keep thinking about those bad things! You can just stay here and have a good drink!”

Tears also welled up in her mother’s eyes, but she was calmer than her father.

Yun Xi sat in the family seat and sincerely wished the two of them well.

It was already very late when the newlyweds returned home for the new year, and they still had to compare the gifts from their relatives and friends. The two of them naturally had no energy to do anything else!

However, now that the two of them had become legal husband and wife, and they were both young, there was still a long way to go!

…

The next day at 6:00 AM…

The two people who had just fallen asleep in the middle of the night were woken up by a series of rapid knocks on the door.

“What’s wrong?” Yun Qiao opened the door with her eyes still closed.

“Where’s Luo Chen?” Ma Yan tried her best to look inside.

“We slept a little late last night, so she’s still resting now! If there’s anything, we can talk about it after she wakes up!”

Yun Qiao was about to close the door, but Ma Yan stopped him.

“No, no, no! We all have rules after marriage. The newly-wedded wife has to serve tea to her mother-in-law and make small dumplings the next morning!”

Ma Yan deliberately raised her voice so that the person inside could hear her clearly!

“I’m not the kind of person who would deliberately make things difficult for others! However, these customs have been passed down since ancient times, so our family has to do it too! Moreover, this custom is also used to pray for blessings, wishing that you will have more children and blessings in your future marriage.”

Ma Yan was sure that her voice could be clearly heard by the person in the room.

Luo Chen rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up straight.

“I know! I’ll come over soon!”

Even if Luo Chen was unwilling, she had to get up and do these things! There were still many days to get along in the future. After all, the other party was an elder, so it was best to be more tolerant!

Luo Chen comforted herself over and over again, then put on her pajamas and walked out of the room.
