Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

In other households, being able to offer a pig's leg would be considered very generous.

"Here, Lily, this is a gift I prepared for you!"

At this point, the atmosphere reached its climax, and the scene fell silent once again.

Everyone stared as Zhao De took several items out of the bag.

"This is a women's watch. It will look great on you. Here, let me help you put it on."

When Zhao De took out the exquisite and delicate ladies' watch, everyone stared at it intently.

"That must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Yu Li asked in a low voice, her face slightly flushed.

After all, so many people are watching!

However, deep down in her heart...

The sense of satisfaction and vanity was greatly fulfilled at that moment.

"Actually, it's not much, just two hundred yuan plus six industrial vouchers."

Zhao De seemed completely unconcerned.

However, gasps of amazement immediately rose from the crowd; everyone was stunned.

"The son-in-law of the Yu family is really generous; he even bought his wife a watch."

"He already has one, but he wants to get one for his wife. That's what it means to have both!"

"You also need enough money and tickets, otherwise, people like us can only dream about it."

Among the neighbors present were middle-aged women and young men and women of the same age as Yu Li.

Everyone, regardless of who they were, looked on with envy at that moment.

The men envied Zhao De's wealth;

And women, whether old or young.

What they envied even more was Zhao De's deep affection for Yu Li!

It is important to understand that in this era, the idea of ​​valuing sons over daughters is deeply ingrained.

Although the authorities are attempting to make changes, this is by no means something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

This shift in perception needs to occur gradually as society progresses.

For example, in Qin Huairu's family, Bang Geng is very much loved.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua were overlooked.

Jia Zhangshi even often told the two little girls that they were a money-losing burden.

As for Jia Zhangshi herself, although she is arrogant and domineering now.

But if Lao Jia were still alive, she wouldn't even have the chance to jump around.

That's basically a life of serving tea and water to people.

For example, in Sha Zhu's family, He Yushui was not valued by him.

He often said that if he ate his fill, his whole family wouldn't be hungry.

Yu Li's mother was the same.

She watched from the sidelines, feeling both gratified and heartbroken.

I am gratified that my daughter has found a partner she can entrust her life to.

It's heartbreaking that Zhao De spent so much money on things for his daughter; it really wasn't worth it.

"Lily, come and see how this pendant looks on you."

Yu Li was happily looking at her new watch when she heard Zhao De say that, so she looked up.

A round, hollow jade stone that looked quite valuable was hanging from a red string in his hand.

In an instant, Yu Li felt dizzy.

It felt like being overwhelmed by happiness.

She only regained consciousness after Zhao De hung the jade pendant around her neck.

"It's beautiful, a perfect match for a beautiful woman!"

Zhao De praised it.

"Just by looking at the color, you can tell it's expensive, right?"

The neighbor next door asked casually.

Yu Li also examined the jade pendant carefully, then asked Zhao De:

"Brother Zhao, this piece of jade must be very expensive, right?"

"Like that watch, this piece of Hetian jade is also two hundred yuan, except this one doesn't require a receipt."

Zhao De didn't hide anything and generously satisfied everyone's curiosity.

After all, he wanted the Yu family, especially Yu Li, to have a glamorous and respectable life.

As for these items, including the bicycle outside.

If it's true that Zhao De bought them, then that's not wrong.

Because he had already explained it to those three people before he came.

He will use it first, and then compensate Qianqian later.

So these things were actually purchased by him!

Zhao De didn't take out the bracelet, though.

Because Yu Li is not suitable to wear it right now.

As expected, the neighbors were once again shocked.

He not only bought Yu Li a bicycle and a watch.

They also gave away a piece of Hetian jade worth 200 yuan as an extra gift.

It seems Yu Li has truly found her Mr. Right!

However, Zhao De then spoke again:

"Mom, I also bought a radio yesterday. I've prepared all the 'three turns and one sound' needed for the wedding!"

In this day and age, any girl who can find a partner with "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three essential items) is highly sought after.

So her mother and she herself would laugh out loud in their sleep at night.

This is absolutely not an exaggeration; the "three turns and one sound" (referring to a watch, a bicycle, a radio, and a sewing machine) were the standard for weddings back then.

Just like later on, owning a house and a car.

The main reason Qin Huairu married Jia Dongxu was because their family owned a sewing machine.

Whether it's practical or not, let's put that aside for now.

Back in the countryside, who wouldn't be envious of her success?

Who can deny that she is incredibly successful?

Look, Mother Yu's face is beaming with joy, especially in front of a large group of neighbors.

This vanity was greatly satisfied.

What does it mean to have a grand wedding?

This is the best example!

"Hey, it's really lively here!"

Yu's father's voice came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, several people squeezed into the room.

"Dezi is here!"

Yu's father was very happy to see Zhao De.

"Perfect timing, let me introduce you."

"This is my older sister, Yu Meiqin, this is my younger sister, Yu Meishu, and this is Comrade Zhao De, whom I have mentioned to you before."

"Hello, eldest aunt! Hello, second aunt!"

After the introductions were finished, Zhao De smiled and shook hands with each of them.

It's clear that Yu Li's eldest and second aunts had eyes full of curiosity.

"Lily, your eldest aunt and second aunt came all the way here to celebrate your wedding!"

Yu's father prompted Yu Li to quickly greet them.

After Yu Li repeatedly greeted her eldest aunt and second aunt, she said "Hello, auntie."
