Lin Yongqiang curled his lips and said, "Dad, when we first started dating, you thought about the bride price?"
Lin Jinshun said with a serious look, "You two are already old. Since both parties are willing, get things done as soon as possible. Once you get married, your heart will be at ease. Live a good life."
In their rural areas, as soon as the two parties meet, as long as they are willing, the matchmaker will start discussing the betrothal gift and make a date according to the date.
Girls in the city should settle down quickly to avoid long nights and dreams.
Lin Yongqiang looked at Meiling and asked for her opinion.
"Meiling, what do you think?"
Mei Ling had a gentle temper and replied, "I'll go back and discuss it with my sister."
"Okay, if we have discussed it, please tell us and we will hold the wedding as soon as possible."
Lin Yongqiang and Meiling stayed here to have dinner. After they left, Lin Jinshun called Tang Min and asked her for Gu Decheng's phone number.
Ever since Gu Decheng installed a telephone in his home, Lin Jinshun hasn't made any calls yet.
Tang Min thought her adoptive father wanted to greet her father-in-law, so she gave him her number without thinking too much.
Lin Jinshun made a long-distance call, and after greeting Gu Decheng for a few words, they got down to business.
"Brother, I'm calling you because I have something to ask you."
"Old Lin, tell me."
Lin Jinshun said, "That's right, Lin Yongqiang has talked about a partner here, and I want the children to settle down as soon as possible."
When Gu Decheng heard what he said, he smiled and said, "This is a good thing."
Lin Jinshun's face was full of smiles, "Yes, it is a good thing. It is a good thing that I never dreamed of."
Having said this, his expression became serious and he continued, "So, I want to ask you to go to our village. You can find the village chief for me and ask the village chief to ask in the village who is willing to buy my junk.
I want to sell the yard."
"Selling the yard?" Gu Decheng was surprised when he heard this.
Lin Jinshun replied, "Yes, I want to sell the yard. I can also sell the two pieces of land around the yard."
OK."
"Old Lin, are you short of money? If you need money, just say it and let's find a way. Why are you selling your yard?" Gu Decheng asked worriedly.
"I won't stay any longer anyway."
Gu Decheng said seriously, "That's hard to say. Who knows what the future holds? I'm not saying that you won't be able to live well in the city. What I mean is that we rural people, as long as we have land and a yard, will feel at ease in case anything happens.
I don’t want to stay in the city anymore. You will have a home when you come back. When you get old, you have to return to your roots. If you sell your yard, if you want to come back in the future, you will have nowhere to go.”
Lin Jinshun sighed in his heart after hearing Gu Decheng's words. He didn't understand this truth.
When people get old, they have to leave their fallen leaves and return to their roots.
But he had been a long-term laborer at home for so many years, and he didn't have a penny in his hands. When he came out of his hometown, he sold the pigs and cows, and after Tang Min gave birth to a child, he gave all the money to his grandson.
Now she is helping Uncle Li clean and cook at the hospital. Tang Min does give him pocket money, but it will definitely not be enough for his son to get a wife.
After all, this is the city, so you must be more prepared.
He said to Gu Decheng, "We'll talk about the future later. Let's solve the immediate difficulties first. Yongqiang finally found a partner. She is a very honest and responsible girl. We can't let him miss this marriage just because we are poor. I will first
Sell the yard, marry Yongqiang, and I can do whatever I want from now on."
"Brother, please help me make this trip."
Lin Jinshun emphasized several times, but Gu Decheng had no choice but to respond, "Okay, I'll go ask."
"Thank you, bro."
Gu Decheng hung up the phone, sat on the bed and sighed.
He couldn't understand Lin Jinshun's mood and difficulties.
When I married the boss Gu Jinghui
He was not like this when he was a wife.
As long as the marriage can come true, I have really tried every possible way to prevent my son from being a bachelor.
Had it not been for the allowance that his second brother sent him from the army, he would have been heavily in debt.
Gu Decheng thought for a moment and called Gu Jingchuan and Tang Min instead of going to Shanghe Village.
At this moment, Gu Jingchuan and Tang Min happened to be at home. ??
"Jingchuan, is Lin Yongqiang dating?" Gu Decheng asked.
Gu Jingchuan smiled and replied, "Yes, we have found a partner. She is a pretty good girl."
"So...how is Yongqiang doing now? Has he really changed his ways? Are you serious about work and everything?"
Gu Decheng asked tentatively.
Gu Jingchuan glanced at Tang Min, who was teasing the child, "He can be said to be a completely different person now. He works seriously and has strong business ability. He took over the position of store manager from Jingxiu. The store's business is considered to be the best in the company.
"
His performance in the past two months can be regarded as ace sales.
Gu Decheng was confused, "Then his salary should be pretty good."
"Well enough."
Gu Decheng thought for a while and said, "Since he has really improved, it will be a happy event for him to marry a wife. You should help him appropriately, otherwise your father-in-law will have to sell his yard."
"What? Selling the yard?" Gu Decheng said in surprise.
"Yes, he is also worried about Yongqiang."
Tang Min, who was playing with him, stretched out his hand to Gu Jingchuan, "Give me the phone, uh, tell dad."
Tang Min answered the phone.
"Dad, what are you talking about? My dad wants to sell the yard?"
Gu Decheng replied, "Yes, he also wants to marry his daughter-in-law. He said he is a girl from the city and wants to prepare a betrothal gift. He asked me to go to Shanghe Village and ask the village chief."
"You must not go to the river
The village asked that the yard cannot be sold. If it is sold, my father will be homeless when he returns."
After all, the city is not his home.
He will eventually go back.
"I know, didn't I inform you first? With your elder brother's virtue, you finally brought him to the right path. What's more, Yongqiang still has a job. You can help him, or give him more work, so that
He earns it himself. Let your dad worry less."
Tang Min said, "Dad, you are thoughtful."
Gu Decheng greeted his grandson and hung up the phone.
Then, Tang Min called Lin Yongqiang.
Let’s get straight to the point, “How much money do you have on hand right now?”
"Xiao Min, why are you asking?" Lin Yongqiang looked wary,
"You want to borrow money?"
Tang Min felt angry because Lin Jinshun wanted to sell the yard for Lin Yongqiang, "I'll lend you my uncle, please tell me the truth and don't hide it."
"I've only been working for half a year, and my commission in the last two months has been high, which is about 2,000 yuan. This is what I saved through frugality. However, my commission has been high this month, and it hasn't been paid yet."
The basic salary in the store is 150 yuan a month, and the rest is calculated as commission. Lin Yongqiang earns so much in half a year, which is considered very good.
Tang Min heard that he was really saving money, and her tone softened, "You have a good talk with Meiling and save money. When you get married, if you don't have enough money, I can lend you some. Tell your dad not to let him sell his hometown."
How much is your yard worth? After all, it’s a home. You’ll always have to go back to your hometown to see it. If you sell it, you won’t even miss it.”
"Dad wants to sell the yard?" Lin Yongqiang was even more shocked when he heard the news.
Tang Min said in a bad tone, "No, it's all just to get you a wife."
"Don't worry, I won't let him sell it." Lin Yongqiang put down the phone with a heavy heart.
