The couple went to Huahua's house a few years ago to discuss Qingfeng's marriage.
The parents there must have heard what Huahua said first. The other party's family background is not that good, but the place is nice.
The boss also boasted: "There is mineral water everywhere in our place. The mineral water used for watering the ground and washing feet is all mineral water. When you unscrew the water pipe, the water that flows out is the same as the water in the bottled mineral water.
.”
This is what they told Huahua when she was in Taiping Town.
After all, the mineral water in Tongli City is now sold all over the country. Of course, it is not all from that spring. The mineral water company has long gone to the corners to find natural springs. The brand is the same, but
Water definitely does not come out of one place.
Huahua was young after all, and the family was kind to her, so she didn't think much about it. They said that unswervingly, and then she believed it unswervingly.
Then the Xiao family felt that the Jin family was really rich.
But can such a big girl and her own child be allowed out easily?
Grandma Xiao said: "It's too far away, and it's not easy to see her in person."
Grandpa Xiao retorted: "What do you know? As long as the baby lives well. If you don't see me, as long as you live well... What's so good about your old face... How many more years can we live... Don't delay the child
…”
"That won't work either..." Xiao's grandma waved her hand: "Just listening won't do, you have to take a look." Then she called Huahua over, "Tell your third uncle to go with your dad... It's not that grandma is being careless... This is you
It's a major event in your life, and it's far away from our home. If you really have a bad life, your parents won't be able to see you. Even if they want to help you, I'm afraid they won't be able to get there right away... You can't feel troublesome in your heart...
At this point, we would rather be seen as picky than live in a muddle-headed way just to save face..."
In fact, Xiao's mother was not very willing, "...I'm afraid it's just a mouthful. Look at the child's father, he talks like a machine gun... And this young man is too short... He also has a small nose and small eyes."
"My daughter is slightly taller than him, and I'm not bragging. My daughter has long eyebrows, beautiful eyes, and is fair and fair. She really can't stand such a decent girl looking for such an uncle."
superior.
Dad Xiao said: "If a man is good-looking, he can't be eaten. It's up to you, the girl, to decide whether he's good-looking or not. You may not see him for a year, and you don't care whether he's good-looking or not." As for a man's family, you can get it.
As long as the money comes back to support my wife, that will be fine.
Men and women have completely different concerns, but they agree that they should go and take a look.
The next day I told the couple of the Jin family, and Xiao’s father’s words were also very touching, “… We don’t have many children in our family this time… There are only two children in a family at most… My family is the same.
, Huahua and the kid in my family are all treasures. Especially this girl, who was brought up by her grandmother. The old man felt sorry for the child, and he didn't want to marry far away. She ran away to work on her own, and almost died.
It killed her grandma. We are all parents, so you have to understand this feeling. You can’t say that I promised my daughter to your family, but we don’t know where your door opens, right? Do you really think there is one?
What's the matter, where can I find my daughter?"
It means that you have to come and see each other.
Jin Mancheng looked at Li Xian'er and said nothing for a while.
The conditions at home are really not much better than here.
Li Xian'er didn't change her expression: "This is what it should be. We all think so too, let's all go. We were traveling abroad a few years ago and came to my house to celebrate the New Year. By the way, we discussed holding our child's wedding...
...about the bride price..."
Father Xiao was very smart and immediately said: "Let's not talk about the betrothal gift..." He hasn't decided whether to marry or not, right? But he couldn't say this directly, so he smiled and said: "It's different in ten miles. What's more, our two families are separated.
It’s so far away. Let’s just follow the rules you have over there. We’re not selling our girls, so if we don’t ask for a bride price, it would make my children worthless. We’ll just follow the rules, and you can give them whatever they want..."
There is nothing wrong with this, it sounds like a very nice in-law to talk to.
Li Xian'er said: "Then you guys will pack your things, and my uncle and aunt will go too..."
"If we don't go with so many people, it will cost too much money on the way." Xiao's father said, "I will go with the child and his third uncle."
Li Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief. There were more people going, and the travel expenses were not that high.
Dad Xiao didn't ask where he was going, he just said to pack his things and leave tomorrow.
Then Jin Mancheng held his head and said: "I haven't tidied up my new house when I got back..."
If you have nothing, how can you get married?
Li Xian'er said: "Keep your voice down, ask Qingfeng to buy a ticket, and go to the capital first..."
Then two days later, the Fourth Master was preparing to go to a meeting when he received a call from his eldest brother: "...Fourth Brother... I brought my in-laws to the capital. I just got off the train and we are at the train station..."
I didn't say anything before coming because I was afraid that I wouldn't receive him.
What could the fourth master say? He told her to wait at the station. The secretary said that he would arrange for the driver to go there, but the fourth master refused, so he called Qingning and asked her to make arrangements.
Qingning sighed into the phone. There has been a drama this year. It can't stop every day.
Yan Yan had just come back, and the two of them hadn't even exchanged a few words before an errand came. Yan Yan had nothing to hide. He had also been to his hometown and lived there, so he knew what was going on.
"...Would you like to come with me..." Qingning asked.
Of course he went, it was a rare opportunity to show off. There was nothing in the Qingning family that he needed to help solve. If there were not such troubled relatives and neighbors, he would have no use for it.
Qingning said: "There should be six people, one car is not enough." Then she called Xu Qiang and said, "Don't leave in a hurry today..." He couldn't leave either.
So Yan Yan and Qingning were in a car, and Qingping and Xu Qiang were in a car to pick up people.
The two brothers have the same mentality. They are rarely useful in their places, and now they can't do their best.
Qingning felt that this time was particularly relaxing. All problems were no problem, she just had to follow.
The station is a mess and you can’t find anyone? It doesn’t matter. Strictly go to the radio station and broadcast directly to find someone.
What should you say to someone you don't want to see or a stranger you meet? Don't worry, Yan Yan and Xu Qiang went over to greet them and they were very cordial.
When you get to the car, you don’t have to worry about being left in the cold. Your boyfriend, who is both a driver and a tour guide, takes care of the entire journey.
It turns out that having a boyfriend can be so convenient.
Qingning thought she had discovered a new way to use boyfriend. Then she suddenly realized that it was not that having a boyfriend was bad, but that she had not found the correct way to use it before.
Sitting in the back seat were Qingfeng’s girlfriend Huahua, her father, and her uncle, whom they met for the first time.
After strictly telling them where they were now, they opened the car windows and looked out, looking very interested.
To be honest, Dad Xiao didn't believe what the Jin family boasted about on the train, that his younger brother and sister-in-law were both high-ranking cadres. But now looking at the child who picked him up, he believed it. In other words, his family
Not only does this uncle have a good fourth uncle, he will also have a good cousin to help him in the future. Then you think about it, even if this person lives his life with his eyes closed, it won't be much different.
I feel quite willing in my heart.
Over there in Qingping, my ears were suffering.
The uncle was very excited: "...the Huahua family is very poor...the people in the mountains and valleys are not very knowledgeable...as soon as we said we wanted to marry, there were 100 people who were willing, and it was not difficult at all..."
The eldest mother-in-law said: "...they gave us such a big girl from the Jin family, and we couldn't express our gratitude...I just said to bring them out and show them the world..."
Qingfeng interrupted: "Where are we going now? Fourth uncle's house?"
Qingping then said: "I can't live at home, so I found a hotel. Let's stay in a hotel."
A room costs more than 200 per night, which is an unimaginably high price. There are five rooms in total, which costs more than 1,000 per night.
Jin Mancheng's back straightened instantly, and his voice was very high-pitched in the hotel lobby.
Dad Xiao and Uncle Xiao said: "We don't need so many rooms, it's just fine for two people to share one room."
Jin Mancheng said: "We, my family, where are we now? Dozens of people from our village have been arranged like this. If you come to the capital in the future, just call the fourth child, and the arrangements will be made properly."
.With my face, he dare not ignore it..."
Qing Pingxin said, if you don't brag, you will die.
If my father heard this, he would definitely rebuke him in front of outsiders without leaving any room: Who are you? Why don't you dare to ignore it?
People coming and going in the hotel were all looking this way. Qingping felt embarrassed and quickly interrupted: "Go check out the room, put down the luggage, and go have dinner."
Then when she got into the elevator, Li Xianer started to brag about the elevator. After getting out of the elevator and walking to the corridor, she added: "I talk about Beijing Roast Duck all day long... How good is the roast duck..."
hehe!
It’s a hint that you want to eat roast duck, right?!
Qingfeng said: "It's far away. The hotel has a buffet. Eat something here..."
Dad Xiao gave Qingfeng a high look and said, "Yes! It's very tiring and dizzy after riding in the car. It's good to rest. Let's eat in the hotel."
He could also tell that the in-laws were a little arrogant and their words were not very sincere. Just looking at the expressions and attitudes of his two nieces, there was nothing he didn't understand.
But the previous generation was the previous generation, and Qingfeng and his two cousins seemed to be getting along well.
These two girls went to good universities, and the two young men who came with them, one is a military student, and the other is also from a top university. The older girl and the younger boy are the ones who have done more before and after running, so what does this have to do with it?
Understood.
Moreover, looking at the two members of the Jin family, they also know the two young men, and they even greet their families. It seems that the children of these acquaintances are very good at getting along with each other. There is really a stumbling one, and it doesn’t look good in appearance. The ones who are more worried are more
too much.
With their family's background and their abilities, there is no reason why these two children should not be successful in the future.
When he returned to the room, he said to Huahua: "If you really like it...just be more careful...get more involved with these uncles, aunts, sisters, and brothers...you can't suffer the consequences..."
You can have this meal at the hotel at noon, but not at night.
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong had to show up no matter what.
It is not easy to get a wife in rural areas nowadays. The bride price is often 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and you also need big things like TV, refrigerator, and motorcycle. Without 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, you can’t even think of marrying a wife for your son.
I really missed this. When the boss opens his mouth in the future and says that he needs to borrow money for his child's marriage and asks his uncles to take care of it, do you think he will take care of it or not? Take care of it, I feel unfair. No matter if I don't care, spitting stars can drown people. Murakami
People can definitely say that the coward Jin Laosi is really nothing. When he is such a big official, he is just watching his nephew become a bachelor.
If you meet someone who is deliberately flattering and has ulterior motives, marrying your daughter to Qingfeng for no reason, then there will be even more troubles in the future.
This girl is actually a good choice. There is nothing involved in the process. As long as the person enters the house, there will be less contact with her parents' family. If you want to have contact, you can only go with the boss's side. If it involves them, it will be a bit far-fetched.
Already.
The couple knew that this was a one-time deal. If they only paid once, they would be safe from future troubles.
Therefore, we booked a hotel and asked Yan Yan and Xu Qiang to pick them up.
The food should be served as soon as it is good, and the wine should be drunk as soon as it is good.
When Father Xiao saw this formation, he really believed that he was a big cadre. His aura couldn't deceive anyone.
Fourth Master talked to Father Xiao and Uncle Xiao and asked about the situation in Gansu Province. What are they growing now? How many sheep are they raising? How is the harvest for the year? Is it still difficult to get water? How does the government solve the problem? Similar
Such questions.
Then there is a lot to talk about, and the meal is basically not a dull one.
Li Xian'er stood next to Lin Yutong and spoke to Lin Yutong in a low voice: "...what do you think is an appropriate gift for this..."
Ask me? I won’t give you more money!
When she first entered the house, she had already given Huahua a thousand as a greeting gift. After that, she gave Huahua a gift of one thousand as a gift when she got married. Any more gifts would be gone.
Ask yourself how much you should give?
It depends on how much money the person thinks they can afford.
Lin Yutong said: "...I haven't been back in the past few years, and I don't know the situation there. At that time, we only had thirty or forty yuan... You asked for more at that time, and it was only three to five hundred yuan."
.What is the situation now...it's hard to say..."
Li Xian'er said: "Over here, we usually get 20,000 yuan first, and then talk about other things. These three hardware items must be bought before the wedding. A color TV is a must, but the refrigerator is a little less... But now motorcycles...
…It all needs to be…just like the bicycles of the past…if it’s missing, it won’t be good…”
That is, you asked for a bicycle and asked the Jin family to bear a huge debt.
Nowadays, if people want motorcycles, that's the right thing to do.
Motorcycles are really not cheap these days, and the price you can get them for is at least five or six thousand.
But if the gross income of a farmer's family reaches 20,000 yuan a year, then they have to live a good life. Excluding investment, if it falls to 10,000 yuan a year, then they are living a good life. But if the family supports college students
, life will definitely be tight. If you don’t support your students, you will have no choice but to borrow money if you encounter a wedding or funeral.
Since I came back from home, my life has been very tight for the past six months.
While Jinmancheng is farming, Qingfeng and Huahua work odd jobs around. For example, during the apple season, Qingfeng goes to the loader who has to load the truck. Huahua goes to the small worker who has to sort the apples. As for Li Xianer, she cooks for the children in the kindergarten.
Well, the wages are calculated on a daily basis, including food and drinks for seven yuan a day. Saturdays and Sundays are not counted. But according to Yingzi, her hands and feet are not clean. She steals a handful of salt and a few handfuls of rice every day.
A few steamed buns are enough for Qing's meal. It's like earning more food for one person.
Yingzi talked about these things with Lin Yutong on the phone. Why did Li Xianer come over and cry to her, thinking that her son was not good at this or that. For example, there were two plates of meat and vegetables fried on the table at home. Qingfeng must have picked out the meat.
Eat flowers.
Li Xian'er was really sad: "...He is so heartless. Even if his father and I don't eat, Qingshou won't eat it either? He's growing taller."
No need to go into detail, Lin Yutong can know how to live that day.
Now that we have a daughter-in-law at home, we can no longer live a normal life. Normally, we can get by with just a handful of wild vegetables and a plate of vegetables. But now that we have a daughter-in-law, she still hasn’t entered the house, a daughter-in-law who has never given birth to a child.
, it’s really impossible to make ends meet like this. I’m always afraid that people won’t be able to get used to this life, and will just slap their butts and walk away. How can Qingfeng marry another wife in the future? Even if he coaxes, he must first coax his wife into the house.
The family's income is kept there. The young couple won't hand over the money they earn, and they have to buy things for themselves. With a wife here, you can't take care of the children. The income of the couple supports the family's expenses.
Boss Jin doesn't make any money from farming. Li Xian'er only earns seven yuan a day. The family has to eat and drink. They also have to manage the expenses of going to school, buying pens, notebooks and materials. Do the math and see where there is any extra. Life is so tight.
Damn, in order to coax my daughter-in-law into the house, I can't even put food on the table. Not to mention the food is sumptuous, at least it has to be acceptable.
For the meat dishes, one or two kilograms of pork are cut and stir-fried. Add a little more salt so it won't go bad. When the potatoes are stir-fried, pull out a few pieces of the fried meat and stir-fry them inside.
Stir-fried, it is considered a meat dish.
Qingfeng picked out the meat for Huahua to eat. Li Xianer was so angry that he vomited blood and said: "...Eat it quickly, we don't like meat, we just fried it just for you...Qingshou will eat all the meat."
It’s hurt, but it doesn’t touch me at all…”
She is very good at pretending to be fat with a swollen face.
Just like now, when a dish was served, Qingfeng kept picking dishes for Huahua, his father-in-law, and his uncle and father-in-law with chopsticks. Li Xianer was so sour that she had to say: "Eat more. We don't have enough to eat."
Love to eat..."
Why are the same words coming out of her mouth so ugly and false?
Qing Ning felt that if it weren't for her father's face, the Xiao family would indeed think that the Jin family's conditions were good, and the marriage would have been blown just by your mouth.
Lin Yutong also said to himself: Fortunately, the fathers and uncles came here. If the mothers and aunts came with them, it would not be possible. Men and women have different concerns. Men feel that mother-in-law is not so good.
It's not a big deal, but women feel that if they meet such a mother-in-law, they will go crazy. They will not be able to live the designated life.
Then we spent three days in the capital, led by Qingping and Qingning.
Li Xian'er said: "Let's play for a few more days and don't be in a hurry to go back."
Dad Xiao quickly shook his head, thinking that he couldn't be so extravagant. Just staying for one night cost more than a thousand. Going out for fun and food, the cost of more than two thousand a day, plus the toll to leave, cost more than ten thousand.
The coins are still inside.
No, as soon as he said he wanted to go back, he said he needed an ID card to book a flight. The flight was more expensive!
It would be better to get a lot more than 10,000.
The family's income is only a small amount a year, and even when bandits come to the village, they don't rob like this.
Determined to leave: "It's better to go back and take a look... to see what preparations are needed for the wedding..."
Then Fourth Master asked his secretary to help book flights, including those for Qingping and Xu Qiang. With Xu Qiang taking care of the arrangements along the way, he had nothing to worry about.
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong had already said in advance that they might not have time to deliver it in person, which was very rude.
Uncle Huahua said: "Don't be polite. From now on we are a family and we don't pay attention to these false etiquette."
Qing Ning and Yan Yan Qingyuan went to deliver it in person, and Xiao's father took out ten kilograms of hand-made noodles: "It may not look like noodles, but hand-made noodles are different from those made by machines."
Qingning was particularly surprised: "Then I won't refuse. Thank you uncle."
After sending the people away, Qingning stuffed all the noodles into the strict trunk: "I have eaten this kind of noodles before, and it is really delicious. Remember to take all this with you when you leave." The next company is also very difficult. Sometimes
When I'm hungry at night, I just deal with it casually. The noodles are strong, so I can cook them with some sauce and meat or something, and it'll be a good meal.
Qingyuan rolled his eyes, girls are outgoing.
He felt that he was so unlucky that he shouldn't have gotten in the car with these two people and kissed me on purpose to stimulate me, a newly lovelorn person?
He felt that he was unlucky, and Qingping felt that he was going to die.
Li Xian'er got airsick. The moment the plane moved, it was over. She vomited and became a mess.
Oh my God. She took her to the bathroom to help clean her, but she was so dizzy that her legs were spinning and she had to hold her half-way.
She and Xu Qiang were not at ease along the way.
Fortunately, when they landed, Qinghui came to pick them up in a minivan. This car could fit as many people as they wanted. Qingping Pingyuan thought that she and Xu Qiang would get down when they arrived at the county seat and asked Qinghui to take the people back to the town. But
Li Xian'er said she was dizzy and wanted to die. She just said she couldn't move or hold on anymore. She looked like if she didn't rest in the county town today, she would be out of breath tomorrow.
I had no choice but to find a room in the hotel and told me to rest.
Then the third child had to come forward and greet the in-laws.
It's a process with Fourth Master. Let people live there, and the development zone will be considered a famous scenic spot. Then let them go around the development zone, which is considered tourism.
Li Xian'er was immediately resurrected with full health, and the couple, with their in-laws, had a strong sense of pointing out the country: "Look at our county, it has become a city now... This was built by my fourth son and Tong... Otherwise, how can we be promoted?"
It's so fast... Have you seen this university... The president of the university is Tong's senior brother... Have you seen that small island... Tong's teacher, an old professor, lives there... Tong is particularly famous here...
As soon as she comes back, officials from all over the county, big and small, will have to visit her... So don't be surprised if the fourth child and Tong don't come back when their children get married... Otherwise, if our children get married, they will be alarmed.
There are too many people...you have to keep a low profile, right?"
"Did you see the building over there... At that time, the house price was only a few hundred, how much do you think it is now? Two thousand eighty..."
"And that shopping mall... The entire third floor is owned by my third uncle... He also has a clothing factory... I'll take you to see it another day..."
Then while eating, I went to the Ping An Restaurant to meet my second brother and Yingzi to introduce their in-laws.
The couple had heard what Qingping said, but just like Fourth Master and Tongtong thought, no matter how disgusting they were, they couldn't be careless about the marriage of the next generation of children.
A treat with good wine and good food.
Jin Mancheng said: "...I'm not bragging, you've seen how our family is living these days...the best days...his second uncle's shop alone can now be sold for one million yuan..."
Li Xian'er whispered again: "The two children from the second child's family will all go to the capital in the future. Who do you think can take advantage of a shop in such a good location?" She laughed as she said it, "We can't make mistakes in our future plans...
"
Qing'an helped serve the dishes and listened for a while. Then he went to the kitchen and said to his mother: "...I just went to the capital. How can our shop be left open? Whether I rent it or sell it, others are in charge of it."
Are you here? I'm out of my mind, I think it will be easier for them..."
Yingzi patted him: "Don't say anything! She doesn't really think so, she just wants to say something nice to coax her daughter into the house."
Given their courage, she wouldn't dare to do this extravagant thought.
Even if he knew this, it still made Qing'an disgusted.
"Isn't it bad to coax people like this?" he asked.
Yingzi really felt that her son's innocence made people worry: "Do you think my father and uncle are stupid and don't know how to grow eyes? They have a clear mind. As for what they think and plan, only they know."
Everyone knows that the money from the uncle's family will not be transferred to their own home, so they don't know?
In fact, Uncle Xiao told his brother sincerely: "If it's the second brother of the Jin family, then I don't think it's a problem. The couple is kind... Even the third brother's family is good... They're not people who just talk and talk.
…”
Dad Xiao smiled bitterly: "We can't just look at others, we have to look at ourselves. There are many people with good conditions, can our family be matched with others?" He sighed, "At the dinner table, not to mention taking the initiative to help serve the food... Nowadays,
Not married, not coming in, this is all easy to say, there is nothing wrong with being more reserved. But look at the way our children eat... That child from the Jin family is always eye-catching when he picks up food for her, and it is really embarrassing...
But this is for our children. I just don’t like it, and I can’t find fault with it. Looking at Huahua, my mother is used to eating alone. In our own family, we don’t care. The child eats more and less
After taking a bite, no one said anything, and everyone was used to it. But when it came to other people's homes, who would see such irresponsible behavior? Therefore, I was thinking about it in my heart. I couldn't just look at other people's shortcomings, but our own children's.
We have to look at the shortcomings... wait two days, when we get to their house, we'll look inside and out, and we'll talk about it then..."
Over there, Li Xian'er asked Yingzi: "Where is the key over there at Tong?"
Yingzi and Yingzi were neighbors in the village yard. Yingzi kept holding the key and went back to tidy it up when he had time. At this moment, Li Xianer asked for the key, and Yingzi became alert: "...What do you want to do?"
Li Xian'er blushed: "...We only have one courtyard, so I'm afraid that others will pick problems."
Yes! If there are two sons in the family, there must be at least two houses. Otherwise, what's the point of having two sons crowded together? Now when talking about a daughter-in-law, the woman has to ask whether the house is for the eldest son or the younger son.
. Should we separate out the big ones or the small ones?
The division means that you have to buy a homestead and build a house by yourself, which means the burden will be heavy.
Usually, if this is the case, the woman will have something to say. Either she disagrees, or she agrees with additional conditions. For example, if you give her an extra 10,000 yuan as a bride price, we will give the money to our daughter to build a house for our two children in the future.
It can be used in the house.
Li Xian'er was acting evil and wanted to use the yard owned by Fourth Master and Tong Tong in the town.
Of course Yingzi didn't agree.
If in the future you clear out your yard and Qingfeng doesn’t have a house, Huahua calls her father over. Her father points to the fourth child’s house and says, “We agreed back then, we agreed to this.”
The entire courtyard is for my daughter to live in..."
What to do then?
Laosi and Tong are both decent people, and they would never get into a dispute over the same yard.
But why should this be cheaper for you?
That doesn’t make sense!
Yingzi said to Li Xian'er: "That's almost it. Did you forget who helped repay the usurious loan? Where is the IOU..."
Li Xianer immediately stopped talking, ignored Yingzi, turned her face and left.
Ying Zixin said, if it were another sister-in-law, she wouldn't be able to interfere in this business. But Tong is my sister, and you are plotting against my sister and you want to take advantage of me. Do you think I'm stupid, or do you think I'm easy to bully? Tong wants to save face, I
But there is no need to save face. If Tong doesn’t want to say anything, I will naturally stand in front of him and say it. I really don’t care if I offend others or offend people like you.
Just show off your face to me. If you can, you will never talk to me.
Li Xianer felt that it was true to say that "people are poor but have short ambitions"! She really didn't dare to do anything to Yingzi. Now that she wants to marry her daughter-in-law, Yingzi will be used in many places.
When he was about to go back from the county town, he went to Yingzi again: "...I won't be polite to my family... Huahua doesn't have a dowry... We have more to prepare here. This quilt is usually a dowry from the natal family.
, I don’t have a dowry, so I have to prepare it myself. I mean eight quilts, four uncles, one for each family. I will go to my natal family for the remaining four beds..."
Want an extra bedding?
This would be too much to ask for in rural areas.
Life was difficult back then, it was not easy to marry a wife, and there were no such rigid arrangements for tasks.
But having said that, each family has paid a lot for Qingfeng’s marriage. The fourth child and Tong spent more than 10,000 yuan because the eldest couple took them away. The third child also arranged a place to live, which was good.
Thousands. On my side, I have to pay for food and drink, and I have lost a thousand. A quilt costs more than a hundred yuan, and no one really cares.
When getting married in rural areas, it is important to sew quilts at home instead of buying them.
But it actually doesn’t cost much.
Yingzi should simply accept it. If you have accomplished this step, why not be more generous? At least you can earn a good reputation.
After Qinghui sent the person away, Qingping said, "Why don't we make my aunt and my third aunt together at our house."
Yingzi had the same plan and called Tong and Siyun, "Don't even prepare it. I'll just leave it at home and do it myself."
Yao Siyun called the third child: "Go buy cotton and send it to the second sister. If you want to make it, make it thicker..."
There are heaters in the city, but if the quilt is thick, it will not work to cover the hot ones in winter. But in the countryside, thickness is important! There are quilts with three pounds of cotton, there are four pounds of cotton, there are eight pounds of cotton, there are ten pounds of cotton.
Yao Siyun bought fifty kilograms directly, "Three quilts and three mattresses, they are definitely the thickest."
The purpose is to ask relatives and neighbors to see if these brothers are like Li Xian'er said, who don't care about anything.
She now runs a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and people from the same village also like to come there. They often say that the parents are richer than the western ones. Some people imitate Li Xianer like her, "Your elder sister-in-law said outside... It costs tens of thousands to marry a daughter-in-law.
One person is willing to lend a hand..."
This was before going to Gansu Province.
This time she spent the money just to slap Li Xianer in the face.
The third child felt that Yao Siyun was becoming more and more lively.
After the Xiao family experienced luxury, when they arrived at Jin Mancheng's house, to be honest, they felt a little disappointed.
The only thing that is better than my own home is that when you turn on the faucet, the water flows out. And if you compare it carefully, it may not be any better than your own home.
After all, my home has a large 24-inch color TV, but what about this one? Oops! 12-inch black and white!
By the way! There is also an old bicycle, and there is nothing big in it.
Uncle Xiao is a smart person. When he got here, he chatted with people in the alley, all over the place. Then he found out the news. What are the rules of marriage here, how are the betrothal gifts required?
Cleared.
So, when we sat down to talk about the marriage, they said: "...20,000 yuan is just for the masses, let's follow this. Don't say we won't give a dowry, we will give it. The bed, wardrobe, etc. in the new house,
We have provided a complete set of sofas and TVs. There are also beddings, and we have provided... four beds..." There are eiderdown quilts sold in the mall, so let's buy them. After all, it will cost more than 10,000.
.
In fact, before, we planned to have a smaller betrothal gift and not give a dowry. Later, the Xiao family uncle muttered to his brother: "In the future, they will not accuse us of asking for a small betrothal gift, but they will only blame our children for not having a dowry. I have to ask for 20,000 yuan.
Even if we spend our own money on a dowry for our child, we still need the 20,000 yuan, even if we secretly give it to Huahua and ask her to keep it. If the child has no money, it will be inconvenient for him to do anything. Even if he is bullied, he will not be able to leave even if he wants to...
…”
Dad Xiao was right! That’s the truth.
Marrying a daughter in your own family must be the same as your rules here.
We brought a bride price of 20,000 yuan and bought a TV as a dowry.
