Chapter 615 Dowry and Dowry
The cook's business is settled, and things are being prepared.
Early the next morning, Li Shenyuan borrowed the ox cart from the village and went to the county seat, first sent a telegram to his friends in the army, turned his head and took the ticket, completed the three turns and one ring, and pulled him back to the village on the same day.
"Cousin, cousin. ”
Li Shenzhou walked out of the room, saw that his face was flushed, and asked with a chuckle, "What's wrong?"
"Cousin, my cousin has come back from buying a lot of things, and he has already arrived at the door. Li Shuyi smiled and pointed in the direction of the outer courtyard.
"What did you buy?" asked Li Shenzhou softly.
Li Shuyi shook her head, "I didn't see anything, anyway, the ox cart was full, and it was covered with red cloth, and it was a whole ox cart." ”
"Let's go out and have a look. Li Shenzhou took his hand and walked out of the courtyard all the way to the outer courtyard.
Many people gathered at the gate, all of whom were members of the same village, and when they saw the things covered with red cloths, they talked about it one by one.
"The sunken boat is coming. When a lady saw Li Shenzhou, she pointed at Li Shenzhou and shouted.
The others looked at Li Shenzhou one after another, "Shen Zhou, what did Shen Yuan buy? It is covered so tightly, it can't be a dowry for you, right?"
Li Shenzhou looked at the curious and smiling eyes, and listened to the word dowry, and froze in place for a while.
"Cousin, can you open it and take a look?" Li Shuyi pointed to the ox cart.
Li Shenzhou blinked and came back to his senses, looked down at him, and then looked at everyone, "This is not what her cousin can say, you should ask your cousin." ”
"Really?" Li Shuyi tilted her head suspiciously.
"Hmm. ”
Li Shuyi got the right words, ran to Li Shenyuan in a hurry, and pulled his hand, "Uncle Cousin, can you open it and take a look?"
Li Shenyuan looked at her with a smile, "This can't be opened casually, you have to wait for your grandfather and grandfather to come." ”
"Why?" Li Shuyi stomped his foot anxiously, he still didn't understand why he couldn't just open it.
Li Shenzhou blushed at him.
As soon as the others saw Li Shenyuan's style, they guessed the things on the ox cart and made sure that it was a dowry.
"Let's let's let, let's let's go, why are they all gathered here?"
Li Mingchen's voice came, and everyone made their debut, and when they saw Li Mingchen and their brothers, they coaxed, "Brother Mingchen, your son-in-law is here to send a dowry gift, open the dowry to us and let us open our eyes." ”
Li Kaiming, Li Kainian, and Li Kaiguo walked in front, and they just smiled and nodded at the jokes of the clansmen.
"Dowry?" Li Mingjin's face was strange for a while, he walked over the crowd to Li Shenyuan, and reached out to pat the bullock cart frame.
Li Shenyuan bowed deeply, "Grandpa, Uncle Li, these are the dowry gifts I prepared, you see what is missing, tell me, I'll buy it." ”
Full of sincerity, even those outsiders can feel it.
Li Mingjin looked at him complicatedly and turned his gaze to his father.
Li Kaiguo glared at him, "Do what you have to do, see what I do?"
"Got it, Dad. Li Mingjin turned around and said lightly to Li Shenyuan: "Very good, I accepted this dowry, but I can say in advance, even if my daughter marries you, it will be my family." If you dare to bully her one day, don't say that I, an uncle, will not let go. ”
"Don't dare. Li Shenyuan bowed respectfully again.
"Okay, let's move everything into the yard!" After Li Mingjin finished speaking, Li Shenyuan moved the three turns covered with red cloth towards the courtyard.
When he carried the sewing machine into the yard, the wind blew up when he went up the steps, blowing up the red cloth, revealing the black and red sewing machine inside, and the bright appearance made the people who watched let out a burst of exclamations.
"It's a sewing machine!"
"It's actually a sewing machine, and it's really big. ”
"Oh my God, this is a sewing machine, but the rest of the stuff is a radio, a bicycle, a watch!"
Everyone talked about it, and what amazed them the most was Li Shenyuan's strong physique; there were really not many people who could carry the sewing machine with their bare hands, and the materials used at this time were the best, and the weight was not comparable to the sewing machines of later generations.
After three turns and one sound, they all moved into the yard, and everyone was reluctant to leave.
"Uncle Ming Jin, let's take a look at the dowry! "When a young man is heckling in the crowd, the others naturally take the opportunity to follow suit.
"Yes, yes, show us, we're curious. ”
Li Mingjin looked at Li Shenyuan, then at the girl next to him, and motioned for her to go back and don't pestle here.
Li Shenzhou laughed and took Li Shuyi to avoid the arch, but he didn't leave.
"Uncle Ming Jin, Sister Shen Zhou is gone, you hurry up and show us. ”
"Uncle Ming Jin, hurry up, let us have long eyes. ”
Although everyone pays attention to three turns and one ring, but there are few people who can make up three turns and one ring, even in the village, these things need a ticket, and you can't buy them if you don't have them. People who sell goods look at tickets.
"It's okay to open it up for everyone to see. Li Kaiguo opened his mouth with bitterness, Li Shenyuan, this kid is getting better and better, and he actually knows how to give a dowry gift in front of the public;
"Hmm. Li Mingjin lifted the red cloth and revealed his true face with three turns and one sound; everything was brand new, nothing bad, even the box containing the watch was also red painted.
The bicycle is a Phoenix brand, and it is worth a lot of money at first sight.
Sewing machines, self-props and radios have been seen, the last one is a watch, the watch is actually a Shanghai brand; in the north, the Shanghai brand is rare, mainly because the freight is expensive, the sale is too expensive, and the big guys can't afford it.
Everyone has a long experience, and with just these three turns, it will be much more expensive than the banquet of engagement wine.
Li Shenyuan took out a red cloth bag from his arms and respectfully handed it to Li Mingjin, "Uncle Li, this is the bride price, a total of eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan, make up an auspicious number." ”
"Hmm. Li Mingjin took it without looking at it.
Li Mingchen turned around with a smile and shouted: "The big guys are scattered! Our family still has things to do, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone remember to come over for an engagement banquet." ”
"Yes, yes, today is a long day of insight. ”
The Li family's sunken boat girl is really blessed, and her husband really didn't say anything to her. "To be able to give so many dowry gifts, I just managed to make up three turns and one ring, and the dowry was also given 888 yuan, which shows the importance of the daughter of the Li family.
Everyone dispersed for less than half an hour, and the people in the whole village knew that Li Kaiguo's grandson-in-law gave three turns and one ring as a dowry, not to mention that he also gave 888 yuan as a dowry.
