Chapter 709: The troubles of Old Han's family

For the marriage of his second child, Lao Xie can be said to be heartbroken.

My family is poor.

How poor is it?

A family of four lives on eight acres of land, and from the time he got married to the present, Lao Xie has not been able to rest at home for a day all year round. He himself didn't know how his two sons had grown up. But people are such things, no matter whether they are rich or poor, as long as God gives them food, they can survive, and they can live.

Time passed year by year, and the two sons with broom bumps were like green seedlings in the field, unconsciously running a head taller than themselves.

Children from poor families are in charge of the family early, and it is not easy to know their parents. The eldest Xie Shuai was admitted to high school at that time, and knew that his family could not afford it, so he went directly to the Jinan Military Region and participated in the Laoshan Wheel Battle. Later, he was injured and lost a leg.

But this leg was not in vain, at that time, Xie Shuai was only shot through the leg by shrapnel when he was saving his comrades from the enemy's shelling. And the comrade-in-arms who rescued him was a hygienist.

Because of the blessing of misfortune, he got a personal second-class merit, not to mention, when he recovered, he directly brought back a daughter-in-law.

However, other female dolls don't want a bride price, and they have to pay for it. Although Xie Shuai's demobilization fee was not much, it was a lot of money at that time. Three years ago, the family borrowed money from all over the world, and owed a famine, but it also gave Boss Xie a home.

But the head of the family is so capable, and it is an old cow to pull a broken car when a son starts a family, and he really has no spare strength to pull the later.

Thanks to his second brother, Sheik, who is as sensible as his eldest brother, knows that it is not easy at home, and his brother's legs and feet are not bad, so life is tight. If he goes to school and starts a family, the eldest brother's family will definitely be dragged down.

I didn't want to add any more burdens, so I took the initiative to stop reading after finishing junior high school. is learned, like his brother, he concealed his age and secretly joined the army. I stayed in the army for two years, and I wanted to perform well in the army, and if I could, I would be promoted, and if I couldn't be promoted, I would always be transferred to a non-commissioned officer to stay in the army, anyway, I didn't want to come back and let my parents and sister-in-law worry about it.

Unfortunately, after not being a soldier for two years, Comrade Xiaoping waved his hand and disarmed a million.

The entire regiment was abolished. Not to mention recruits like him who have not made meritorious contributions, even those veterans who have made great contributions, squad leaders and platoon commanders who have been working for many years, the troops are all returning with tears in their eyes. Some of those who have spilled blood desperately in Laoshan are not easy for division commanders and army commanders to intercede and write white slips. In order to build a modern and strong army, those who remain are either professionally skilled, have excellent military skills, or have academic qualifications.

However, none of these three sheiks can be touched.

Back in his hometown, Xie Ke felt that he had no face to see his father and mother, so he said that he would go out to work and make a fortune by himself.

The more his son is like this, the more he owes Xie Laohan in his heart.

Although he is halfway into the ground, he can still move.

If you can't become a relative to him, then what's the use of having your own father!

It's over in a trembling run, so the father of more than 20 years, the son is in charge of the egg?!

That's it, since last year, Xie Laohan has ignored the opposition of his second son and dragged the matchmaker to look for a girl around.

But now that the girl's family is married, she asks for a lot of bride price.

Looking around, the matchmaker found a girl from Liumao Township.

The girl was a little fat, but after seeing it, Xie Laohan felt that she was the daughter of a proper family, so he decided for his son.

At first, the matchmaker said that it was good, the bride price was 2,000, a house, and five acres of land. A new set of furniture, plus a tape recorder and a television.

I can't use a refrigerator in the countryside, so I don't need it.

The price was fair, and Xie Laohan immediately agreed.

But I didn't think about it, this family matter had just been decided, and the girl's family didn't know how, so she turned her temper.

The bride price was raised from two thousand to three thousand. Turning his head, he said that the TV had to be in color, not black and white.

Xie Laohan thought that 3,000 is also the market price, and the color TV is now much cheaper than in previous years, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Afraid of rising monkeys again, I specially asked the matchmaker to explain that I could do so much.

Seeing that Xie Laohan agreed simply, it seemed that he also knew that it was a little unreasonable to make conditions after he made a marriage, so he set a date to prepare for the marriage of the two children.

Xie Laohan originally put a heart in his stomach and lived with peace of mind, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong!

What's going on?

Less than five days after the divorce, the matchmaker suddenly came to the door and said that it was the bride's family, and now every family gets married with a car to pick them up, and the scenery is beautiful. I know that the conditions of the Xie family are not good, but on the day of the wedding, the relatives are all there, at least I have to let my mother's family get by.

This damn old man Xie scratched his head.

You said that there are three generations of poor peasants in your family, and the old branch secretary in Zhuangzi is the biggest official he has ever seen, and Lai San'er, who opened a small shop in front of Zhuangzi, is the richest boss he has ever seen. Where to find such a high-end object as a car?

In addition, coupled with the previous conditions of rising again and again, Xie Laohan completely quit.

According to the rules, it has always been the matchmaker who has been in the middle to pass the word. Xie Laohan was so angry that he directly slapped his face and asked the matchmaker to call his in-laws directly to talk.

The matchmaker was also very uncomfortable during this time, and in his heart, he actually had a little bit of a complaint about his mother's order. In this way, the two old people were directly brought together.

Xie Laohan originally thought about the child's marriage, but now he has notified his relatives at home, and wants to discuss the matter with the amiable person.

But the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't control this meeting, so I slapped the table directly.

"Brother Xie. ”

Opposite the big kang, the parents of the bride-to-be Nong Chunfang saw Xie Laohan slapping the table, and their eyes were a little evasive.

After the husband and wife exchanged glances, the mother-in-law spoke: "According to the word, we didn't mention this car before, but now we don't pay attention to it." But you have to say that you don't say it? You go out and take a look, which family and which family has children doing errands, and there is no car to fill the façade? Our daughters don't ask you for much dowry, and they don't make any high-profile noise, so they want a car to take my daughter from their parents' house on the day of their wedding, is this too much? As for you being so angry, blowing your beard and glaring at me?"

"That's it, if you can't bear it, what kind of daughter-in-law will you marry? That donkey has to find a lot of meat, my family will marry a girl, and the bride price will be 3,000 from you, and I am not allowed to do things that day, and I have a face in front of the villagers?"

What his wife said was reasonable, and his father-in-law secretly looked at Xie Laohan and muttered.
