Chapter Ninety-Four: The Daughter of the Xing Family Visits the Gatehouse
In Yu Zhen's imagination, she always thought that the grass shed where Lao Hai lived should be the kind of grass hut with four pillars on top of it, and a bed made of a few adobe bricks and a wooden plank, just like the straw shed built by their production team to watch watermelons.

But I didn't expect that this grass shed should be no less than an adobe house, although the roof is made of straw, but it is very dense. The four edges are trimmed neatly, and the bamboo is pressed very compactly, even in the summer weather, there is no need to worry about being blown away by the wind. Although the four walls are not adobe, they are also very compact. It seems that the inside is made of bamboo, and then it is densely tied with straw layer by layer, so you don't have to worry about the cold wind blowing into the house even in winter.
Next to the single wooden door was a ceramic wood stove with a clay pot on top of it, and a blue flame was bubbling from the stove, as if boiling water.
"Brother Lao Hai, this stove is good!
Lao Hai, who knew that it was almost time to deliver food, stood in front of the door early and waited. Seeing that the lobby sister was also coming, and was about to say hello, she asked about the stove first. He even greeted and answered the question: "Sister Yu Zhen, you are here too! This clay stove was brought back from the county seat by Brother Yu Jin, it is very easy to burn, and there is no waste of firewood at all." Three small sticks of firewood can boil a pot of water, and then sew the vent below, leaving only a small gap, and put a full pot of water on the stove to cover it, and leave it for washing your face and soaking your feet at night. ”
"That's so good! Then I'll ask my eldest brother to buy one for me, our family doesn't dare to say anything else, this dry firewood is too much to say." ”
Liu Baiquan handed the jar to Lao Hai with a deep mouth full of rice and vegetables, and helped the eldest daughter talk about the Xing family: "Lao Hai! Your lobby sister came here to tell you about the girl's family who came to see her." That girl has taken a fancy to you, and the Xing family's parents have agreed, even if the bride price is 500 yuan! Do you think that girl is worth the amount of money you spend?"
Lao Hai just opened the lid of the cylinder, and after listening to Uncle Baiquantang's words, he looked at Liu Yuzhen: "Sister Yuzhen! I also take a fancy to that girl, but I don't know if it's worth it, and I don't know if it's worth it." Eldest sister, you are familiar with her, as long as you think it is worth it, I am willing to pay this bride price. ”
"Lao Hai, aren't you giving me a problem? I can't give you this package ticket. I'll just tell you what is good and bad about this girl and you, and then you weigh it yourself. ”
Subsequently, Lao Hai listened to the lobby sister talking about the Xing family's girl from childhood to adulthood while eating. The good and the bad are not hidden, and it is completely up to Lao Hai to judge by himself. In the end, she simply pointed out that this girl, with her hatred for her parents, would not be able to make up for her mother's family in the future, and at least the couple would not quarrel and have conflicts because of their mother's family at every turn.
If you don't subsidize your mother's family, you can save at least 100 yuan a year, and over the decades, you can save a lot of money. Five hundred yuan is equivalent to paying off the Xing family's parenting at one time, and it is estimated that the Xing family's father also knows this, so he will ask for so much bride price!
Lao Hai is despised, just because he has no father and no mother to rely on, in fact, his IQ is not low, and if you think about it, you can understand the connotation that many lobby sisters have not said. Thinking about it carefully, during this period of time, among the women introduced, this girl from the Xing family is really the most suitable for him.
"I'll give this bride price, and this family affair will be decided!
"What's polite to my sister, okay! I know how to tell the Xing family!"
Liu Baiquan was happy when he saw that Lao Hai's family affair was settled. happily joked with Lao Hai: "Big nephew, your lobby sister's thank you for the wine, don't forget to pay tribute when the time comes!"
"By the end of the day, please take a seat!"
Thinking that he would soon have his own home, Lao Hai's voice trembled a little. Liu Baiquan could understand Lao Hai's mood, and no longer teased him, and took his eldest daughter around the eldest son's land to see the livestock, lotus root fields, and Huangshuling, which was already full of trees.
Xu Chengcai didn't need the Liu family to stare at it, Chen Lao Wu was like a fly, he went around if he had nothing to do, and his calculation was to report to the Liu family as soon as Xu Chengcai came back, but unfortunately, he never saw Xu Chengcai's family come back. Liu Yujin didn't care, Lao Hai didn't dare to complain much even if he cared, after all, it was he who did the stupid thing first. Only, Lao Haiqin's cousin was obsessed with those hundreds of dollars.
When he was young and ignorant, he also bullied and despised his third cousin, thinking that he had no parents to rely on, and he could only be a bachelor for the rest of his life, living a life without starvation. Unexpectedly, the third cousin has now made a big turnaround, and a person who is young and easily earns money can withstand their family for a year. He was envious but not jealous, but looked up at his third cousin. Because if he was allowed to do this, he would definitely not be able to bear his loose temperament, and stay in that place where few people move around all year round.
And the third cousin can do it, and it can also make Yu Jin's elder brother value him more and more, not only borrowing thousands of dollars to build a house for him and finding a woman to start a family. And when he was chatting, he said that he would give Lao Hai a salary increase in the spring of next year, and give him a hundred yuan a month. What does this mean? It shows that the third cousin is doing a good job!
I don't know why! As my impression of the third cousin got better and better, I became more and more concerned about him. This time he gave so much money to others for nothing, and he was beaten, maybe Lao Hai himself was not so resentful, but he was bent on getting back his third cousin. I felt that I would rather not hear the sound of the money thrown into the water, and I would rather have cheapened the wolf-hearted couple of the Xu family in vain.
Lao Hai didn't know that his cousin had changed his opinion of him, because he was not close to his uncle, uncle and aunt, and his cousins were not close to him, so he didn't plan to bother his uncle and their family. It's just that I didn't expect that on the day of the visit to the gatehouse, although Wang Hongying did it with all his might, his sister-in-law and several cousins-in-law and cousins-in-law took the initiative to come over to help. They are busy killing livestock, washing vegetables, and lighting fires, and Wang Hongying only needs to cut vegetables and cook vegetables, which is indeed much easier.
When the ladies of the Xing family visited the gatehouse, most of the dishes here had already been prepared. But Wang Hongying didn't plan to put down what he was doing to receive the Xing family's guests, but let Lao Hai's aunt and sister-in-law talk to them in the hall, and her Wang Hongying's home was just a place to entertain and eat. The daughter of the Xing family probably had already heard Liu Yuzhen talk about Lao Hai's situation, and at the same time, because Lao Hai was able to come up with a bride price of 500 yuan, let the Xing family take a look, but they didn't hear any of the female relatives say that the man has no house. also politely flattered the Liu family and praised Lao Hai's dignified appearance. Although Lao Hai is dressed well today, it is far worse to say that his appearance is good, but his aunt and sister-in-law are happy to accept such praise. In short, the meeting between the two parents' families is considered to be harmonious.
