Chapter 228: The Hawker Arrives
Jiang Xinwei knows that the family has had some small conflicts with the Ma family because of the bride price:
My family thinks that the Ma family wants too much bride price, and the bride price in the countryside is generally 500 or 800 yuan, and the maximum will not exceed 1,000, how can your Ma family ask for 2,000. However, the Ma family thinks that the Jiang family runs a pharmacy and is richer than ordinary people, and their daughter is very beautiful and has studied in high school, so it is completely appropriate to ask for more bride price. Besides, don't all the bride prices of the people in the town cost more than 1,000? You are from the town and do business, how can you come according to the standards of our country?
At this time, Jiang Mu said very generously: "It was before, and now it is now." Besides, if you live in the coal mine in the future, your colleagues are all rich and working, and if we are too shabby, they will make them look down on you. By the way, you must buy good things, don't be compared to other people's homes, don't save too much money. ”
Jiang Mu, who has money, has a much stiffer waist, and when she speaks, she has a heroic and hearty spirit that cannot be refused. In her heart, people who have formal jobs, whether they work in coal mines or other units, are all people with face and wealth. I heard her say to Ma Xiaoqin again: "You take 3,000 yuan from me first and buy some good dowry." If the money is less, we add more. …… , Xiaoqin, our Jiang family can't let your parents marry their daughter and post a lot of money into it. ”
Ma Xiaoqin hurriedly hummed, glanced at her husband sweetly, and then turned to Jiang's mother and said, "Mom, Dad, thank you." ”
Now that their work is solved, the parents at home are very happy, and they no longer care about the bride price or not, even if the Jiang family doesn't pay a penny, they are willing to marry a daughter. But if the Jiang family can take the initiative to come up with a bride price of 3,000 yuan, not only will the parents be much more relaxed, but the main thing is to increase the scenery of their own family, so that their parents will have a bright face when they go out.
Jiang Xinwei and Jiang Xiaoqing also don't care about how much their parents take as their brother's bride price. Jiang Xinwei felt that this kind of talking atmosphere was very good and felt very comfortable.
……
Jiang Xinwei stayed at home for three days, and spent every day in this warm and interesting atmosphere. During this period, he and his brother and sister paid New Year's greetings to relatives and elders. He also went to Zhu Keqi's house to visit alone. Zhu Keqi has already been transferred to the county post and telecommunications bureau as the deputy head of the postal unit, and I heard that he may be promoted to the head of the unit after the Chinese New Year.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, a group of uninvited guests suddenly came to the house.
The people who came were not only Su Dingyu, Gu Changfeng, Leng Lan, but also Wen Nianci, Guo Qian, Huang Weizhong, Chen Jianzhong and others, these people actually rented a luxury bus and came over.
Seeing them, Jiang Xinwei felt strange and moved in his heart. He dragged Su Dingyu aside and asked in a low voice: "What kind of fame are you doing? You will come by yourself, how did you recruit them, don't you know that some of their homes are not in Hudong Province?"
Su Dingyu smiled bitterly: "You think I want to call them, they are coming by themselves." I was still caught by them, and they all saw me as the logistics minister. I had to eat and drink along the way, and I was annoyed by them. It's really depressing that you don't thank me now, but you blame me. ”
Jiang Xinwei pushed him and said with a smile: "If you are depressed, you will hang yourself, what are you talking about." ”
Su Dingyu also smiled and said: "What do you mean? Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, you say such unlucky words, I can't spare you, and when you go to work during the Spring Festival, you have to increase my salary and reduce the burden, don't treat me as a firefighter, send me wherever there is something." ”
Jiang Xinwei ignored this pretending guy anymore, and turned around to greet these guests with his family.
The parents knew from their son about the dignity of these guests, and after not knowing how to entertain them for a while, fortunately these people also considered this, and brought a lot of cooked food, fruits, and wine, which could be set on the table with a little spread, and everyone could eat by themselves.
In this era, not only are cars rare, but luxury buses like this are even rarer, which attracted the attention of countless people in the town for a while, and everyone looked at the Jiang family with envy, and also looked curiously at the handsome men and women from the Jiang family from a distance.
"It's so big, so beautiful, how much does it cost? A citizen smacked his mouth.
"The Jiang family is really smoking from the ancestral grave, and the days are on fire. One villager said jealously, "I just don't know how long it can last." Hmph, isn't it harmful for us to marry a daughter-in-law and get a bride price of 3,000 yuan? Who will marry a daughter in the future and ask for 3,000 yuan?"
"People have money, you can manage it? Who told you to give birth to a boy and not a girl? Your five sons have to prepare 15,000 yuan for the bride price, hehe. “
"It's not Jiang Xinwei yet, if it weren't for him, Jiang Langzhong would be just like us. ”
……
The news of the Jiang family also flew to Xiao Yuanyuan's house.
Xiao Yuanyuan went home from winter vacation this time and did not go to her classmates or relatives' houses as before, and stayed at home listlessly. Even her classmate and best friend Zhou Xiaoyun came, and she couldn't keep up much energy, so she just stared at the TV screen in a daze after a few polite words.
Xiao Yuanyuan's parents saw it in their eyes and worried in their hearts, especially Xiao's mother was even more uncomfortable when she saw her daughter's haggard appearance. However, she did not regret it, she always thought that she was for the good of her daughter, and always felt that her daughter of Yenching University should not fall in love with a kid who was expelled from college, and thought that only boys from key universities were qualified to be her daughter's boyfriend, at least Zhang Fenglin.
When the mother and daughter were sitting on the sofa watching TV, Xiao's father walked in from outside, closed the door and sighed, and said: "The children of the Jiang family are really showy, just a few guests, but they drove such a big car." ”
Xiao's mother glared at her husband and said, "What do you care about what the Jiang family does, what's your business?" However, her next words were belittling Jiang Xinwei, "...... , Hmph, didn't he just go to work in a foreign-funded enterprise, and his tail would go to the sky with a few salaries. When my family Yuanyuan joins the work, the salary will definitely be higher than his, I don't believe that a fired person can earn a salary higher than a college student from a national key university, then the country will not turn the sky, who will sharpen their heads and go to a key university?"
"Mom, don't you talk about it, okay? He's him, I'm me. Xiao Yuanyuan said dissatisfiedly.
Xiao's mother laughed and laughed, and was about to explain her daughter a few words, but she didn't want the door to be knocked: "Tu!
Father Xiao hurriedly stopped changing his shoes, and said to himself while straightening up to open the door: "Who, I didn't see an acquaintance behind me just now." ”
When I opened the door, it turned out to be Zhou Xiaoyun, Xiao Yuanyuan's classmate who came yesterday.
"Xiao Zhou, are you here? Please come in, please come in. Father Xiao greeted warmly.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoyun, Xiao's mother was also full of smiles: having her daughter's best friend to accompany her daughter, her daughter's mood will definitely be much better, she got up to make tea for Zhou Xiaoyun, and sighed in her heart:
Hey, I really don't know how my daughter has a soft spot for that kid. Why didn't you agree to him when he was chasing you with a dead face? He was a college student at the time, and he hadn't been expelled. Now that he's not cold to you, you go and put it on. Daughter, don't you know that you are losing face by doing this, and how will he value you in the future?
Zhou Xiaoyun is a frequent visitor here, and she is not polite at all, so she first shouted enthusiastically to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, and then sat next to Xiao Yuanyuan, whispered a few words into her ear, and stared at Xiao Yuanyuan with her eyes firmly fixed.
Xiao Yuanyuan's face showed a moment of shyness, and she said again and again: "No, no! I don't have such a shameless ......."
Zhou Xiaoyun said disapprehantly: "You, you, you are a college student, why are you not cheeky, is this the pursuit of love?" You don't know, I got angry when I saw that dominatrix, why did she enter his Jiang family arrogantly, why can't you enter, is it him who pursues you?"
Xiao Yuanyuan shook her head, glanced up at her mother who came over with tea, pursed her lips, and did not speak.
Xiao's mother was a little curious by Zhou Xiaoyun's words, and couldn't help asking, "What dominatrix?
If Jiang Xinwei makes friends with another girl, it is tantamount to cutting off her daughter's back path, maybe her daughter can study with peace of mind, and it will naturally be a great thing to find her beloved among her classmates at school in the future.
Zhou Xiaoyun's mind is different from Xiao's mother, she hopes that Xiao Yuanyuan and Jiang Xinwei can get together, after listening to Xiao's mother's words, she said sarcastically: "But isn't it? A girl runs around on a motorcycle in the summer, going crazy everywhere, not like a serious girl at all, Jiang Xinwei is going to marry her, and I don't know how much she will suffer in the future." ”
"Ahh A person who has been expelled from college can marry a girl from a rich family, even if he burns high incense, and still hopes to marry a lady from a good family?"
Zhou Xiaoyun glanced at Xiao's mother, wanting to refute something, but she also said it.
Xiao Yuanyuan said to her mother dissatisfiedly: "Mom, why are you ...... Why do you always look down on Jiang Xinwei. I think he's a good guy, and his future is certainly bigger than anyone I know. ”
Xiao's mother smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, okay, daughter, you're right, don't be angry." …… No matter how good he is, he can't surpass Zhang Fenglin, right?"
"Zhang Fenglin? He also deserves to be compared with Jiang Xinwei? He is not worthy of a little finger of others. It's just a matter of reading a few sentences, what's the use of a nerd?" Xiao Yuanyuan was determined to contradict her mother.
However, she didn't promise Zhou Xiaoyun, but said to her: "I won't go." People have been scolded by my mother to the point of blood, and they don't like me for a long time, so I'm going to join in the fun. …… When I graduate, I'll go to work at his company, and I'll see what kind of girl he's looking for......"
