In the 1980s, discussing marriage was not like later times, where meeting the parents and then talking for four or five years before getting married was acceptable. At this time, once children established a relationship, if both families found the arrangement suitable, they typically aimed to get the couple married within about a year.
After dinner, the daughters-in-law of the Lu Family all went to sleep, and Li Xianglu, as the sister-in-law from the groom's side, naturally took her place on the Qin Family's side. She was recording some demands from the Lu Family.
It was about the preparations needed for the engagement before the school starts, which had already been discussed; they would marry upon graduation.
The engagement itself would be simple: the families would come together for a meal. The groom's side would buy a few sets of clothes and some jewelry for the bride's side.
