This time Zhang Guilan took action and made potato stew with cabbage. At Hua Zhao's insistence, she added a few slices of meat.
Still very fragrant.
After another full meal, Daqin and Xiaoqin lay down on the fragrant quilt and fell asleep peacefully.
Hua Zhao then called Zhang Guilan into the warehouse and secretly handed her 150 yuan.
"The money from selling the old house." She told her the story again.
Zhang Guilan secretly praised her daughter for her greatness, and pushed the money into her hand with a backhand: "Take it! Your father and I built that house together, and I got married again... That house doesn't belong to me, it only belongs to you.
This money will be regarded as your dowry, and it is also your father's heartfelt wish.
"He will definitely be happy when he sees you marrying well." Zhang Guilan said with emotion.
In the past 10 years, she rarely thought of Hua Feng and almost couldn't remember his appearance.
She and Hua Feng also met on a blind date. Hua Feng was beautiful, energetic and capable at that time. He saved 100 yuan as a gift, and the Zhang family happily agreed to the marriage.
The two were sweet after their marriage, but as the Zhang family fought against each other again and again, their relationship became more and more tense, and she also suffered a lot of beatings... Looking back now, the memories are full of quarrels.
However, Hua Feng was very kind to Hua Zhao and did not dislike her being a girl at all. He often let her ride on his neck and took her to the market.
Hua Zhao also found those memories. She sighed and took back the money: "Okay, then I can be considered a dowry person."
Zhang Guilan suddenly laughed: "I heard that my uncle gave you a gift of 2,000 yuan, is it true?" These were what Aunt Ma said when he gave it to her. She couldn't believe it at the time.
A girl in the city needs 200 yuan plus three turns and one ring to get a gift, but her daughter, who is from the countryside, is given a gift of 2,000 yuan and three turns and one ring from the city!
Just thinking about it makes her happy! There is indescribable pride and pride in her heart.
But looking at her daughter's beautiful figure and face under the lights, she felt that 2,000 was not much at all.
She has lived in a provincial capital, and even in a large provincial capital, she has never seen a girl more beautiful than her daughter.
"Yes." Hua Zhao admitted shyly.
"Is he nice? He is said to be very good-looking?" Zhang Guilan asked again. Yesterday came and went in a hurry, the two of them met for the first time, and she did not dare to ask many questions in depth.
After another day of getting along, she knew that Hua Zhao was really a kind-hearted child who didn't blame her or hate her, so she dared to ask.
"Yes, yes!" Hua Zhao nodded like a fool: "He is so good-looking! He is also a very nice person." He was raped by her but he didn't take care of her...
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Guilan let out a long sigh of relief.
After chatting for a few more words, Hua Zhao got down to business.
"Look, this basket of bean sprouts was my failure." Hua Zhao pointed to a basket next to him and said.
She had given away the hundreds of baskets in the warehouse to the villagers, but now only about 10 were left.
Only 7 are being used to grow bean sprouts. She still maintains the frequency of producing one basket a day, but not every basket is successful.
"There's a basket full of bean sprouts. It failed. Others didn't accept them, and I couldn't eat them all. It would be a pity to throw them away. Why don't you go to the county town tomorrow and sell them? We'll both earn half the money." Hua Zhao said.
"No, no, no, no!" Zhang Guilan waved her hands repeatedly: "I'm just going to run an errand for you, and how can I still ask for your money? What's going on!"
She looked at the basket and said, "Don't worry, leave this basket of bean sprouts to me and I will take care of it for you."
She has been going to the black market to sell things since she was a child and is not afraid at all. Moreover, she is a temporary worker in a food factory and does the most strenuous work. A 100-pound load is nothing.
Early the next morning, Zhang Guilan set out with her basket on her back.
