"By the way, Lao Xu, how many purification balls did you bring?" Shen Yazhi turned her head and asked.

"Two!" Xu Jianguo replied casually.

"Give it all to me, lest you use it secretly!" Shen Yazhi stretched out her hand with a serious expression.

"Okay, good, give it to you!" Xu Jianguo honestly took out the purification ball and handed it over.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it!"

Seeing his mother contentedly going out with a dustpan and broom, Xu Luo smiled mysteriously and took out two purification balls from his pocket.

"Dad, don't worry, I still have stock, let's do this, we can't let ourselves suffer, right?"

Xu Jianguo didn't dare to shout, but just gave Xu Luo a thumbs up.

It was almost dusk when the family cleaned up the room.

Shen Yazhi began to be busy with life and cooking, because she was tired from a busy day's work, so she didn't do anything complicated, eating noodles, tomatoes and eggs and lo mein.

At night, Xu Luo slept in the Westinghouse.

Lying on the wooden bed that he was once very familiar with, looking at the roof, Xu Luo felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He never dreamed that he would return to his hometown for the New Year this year.

Thinking that he would go home every Chinese New Year in the past, and there were grandparents waiting at home, and they would pull him for a long time and were unwilling to let go, Xu Luo felt very bad, a little sad and depressed.

"Grandparents, we're going home for the New Year, how are you doing over there?"

"My parents are in good health, and life is comfortable. ”

"I have opened a company now, and I will definitely get ahead in the future, but I don't have a chance to make you happy!"

……

In this way, Xu Luo, who fell into memories and sentimentality, fell asleep in a daze.

The next day.

Xu Luo was not woken up by the alarm clock, but by the sound of talking outside the door.

When he got dressed and walked out, he found several elders standing outside the door, they were chatting with Xu Jianguo, and after seeing Xu Luo get up, they all greeted happily.

"Uncle Qing!Uncle Gui!Uncle Jian!"

Several of them are relatives of the family.

"Hey, I haven't seen each other for a few years, Xiao Luo has grown so big, this is really a child who doesn't follow anyone, but grows up fast. Xiao Luo, the day after tomorrow is my eldest son getting married, since you come back, go over to eat coriander!"

Uncle Qing was a tall and thin man, wearing a leather jacket, lighting a cigarette in his hand, and revealing a gold tooth when he opened his mouth to speak.

Gilded gold teeth, shiny!

"Uncle Qing, are you talking about Xiao Gang?" a chubby face appeared in Xu Luo's mind.

"That's right, it's Xiao Gang, do you remember!"

"Of course I do. ”

Xu Luo thought of the scene when he was catching birds and fishing with Xiao Gang in his hometown, and couldn't help but smile: "I remember that Xiao Gang is younger than me, and he is going to get married, okay." Okay, I'll go over to him after dinner, Uncle Qing, if there is anything you need help with, just say, you're welcome. ”

"Well, I'm sure I'll have a job for you, not just you, your whole family. Uncle Qing said happily, this marriage is a happy thing, of course, the more people the better.

"No problem!"

After breakfast, Xu Luo went to Uncle Qing's house, and when he saw Xiao Gang, who was full of spring breeze, he began to chat.

Although they haven't seen each other for two years, after all, they used to play together and still have a friendship, not to mention that the two of them are both from their own family, and Xu Jianguo and Uncle Qing have a very strong relationship, so it makes no sense to say that they have an estranged relationship in this generation.

"Brother, get married the day after tomorrow, you can go with me to pick up your daughter-in-law tomorrow. ”

"Yes, I'm here, don't you want to take me with you!"

"By the way, when are you going to get married?"

"Me...... It's still early!"

……

The two drank tea and chatted like this, and after a while, Xiaogang went out to have something, Xu Luo happened to receive a WeChat message from Lin Qi, and after seeing that it was a very resentful and boring emoji, Xu Luo sent the scene layout here.

Lin Qi suddenly came to his senses.

"What's the situation over there, do you have a happy event?"

"Yes, a relative in my hometown got married and came to help. ”

"It must be very lively, right? I haven't seen anyone in the village get married?"

"Hehe, if you have a chance, I will take you to see it, it's very lively. Let me tell you, the villagers in the village will come to help a few days in advance, some will decorate new houses, some will cook, and some will move tables, chairs and benches. ”

……

It is said that men and women in love are blind.

This is vividly reflected in Xu Luo and Lin Qi, no matter what the occasion is, as long as they seize the opportunity, they will talk about you and me for a long time.

It doesn't matter what you talk about in such a chat, it doesn't matter if it makes sense, what matters is who you talk to.

A day passed quietly.

The next day, Xu Luo and his father Xu Jianguo followed Uncle Qing to his in-laws' house to meet and discuss the route of picking up the bride tomorrow and so on.

Xu Jianguo is the supervisor because he is the uncle, anyway, it is a hot and lively thing, and no one accounts for this.

It would have been nice if everything had gone smoothly, but an accident happened.

Bang!

"No, even if this matter is said to be broken today, your Xu family must come up with another 30,000 yuan of bride price, and tomorrow my daughter will go with your convoy, if you don't take it, this thing will not be done!" Uncle Qing's in-laws were a big bald head with fat heads and big ears, and he slapped the table and raised three fingers and shouted.

This big bald head is called Dong Jianjun.

"I said Lao Dong, it's not good for you to say this, didn't we all say that the bride price money was good before?

"Yes, as long as the children are willing, you will be too careful. Lao Dong, come, have some food, I toast you with a glass of wine. ”

……

But it didn't work!

No matter who comes to persuade him, Dong Jianjun is iron-hearted to ask for another 30,000 yuan, but this money is really impossible for Uncle Qing's family.

You must know that in order to get married, Uncle Qing has already taken out all the money in his family, and he has also borrowed foreign debts outside, and you suddenly say that you want more money at this time, where will he go to make money?

Could it be that this marriage is about to fall apart?

Uncle Qing's face was full of helplessness.

Xu Gang's eyes were annoyed.

The rest of the people also frowned.

After seeing this scene, Xu Jianguo called Xu Luo out of the door and said in a low voice: "Xiao Luo, what do you say about this? We can't watch your Uncle Qing's family marry a daughter-in-law, right? You must know that your Uncle Qing treated me well back then, and saved your grandfather's life, why don't we help him this time?"

And this inside story?

Of course, Xu Luo didn't know this, but as far as this matter was concerned, he wanted to help just now.

You said that if it had been put in the past, their family would have been poor, and even if they had the heart, they would not be powerless. But now it's different, 30,000 yuan is not much of a difficult thing for Xu Luo and Xu Jianguo, and ten purification balls can earn it back.

Take out these 30,000 yuan, you can save a marriage, it's worth it!

"Dad, I don't have an opinion, I said that you can make the money from selling purification balls, and you can call the shots. Besides, this is Uncle Qing, and he is not an outsider, you can lend it to him if you want to, I believe in Uncle Qing's character. Xu Luo said with a smile.

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't agree!" Xu Jianguo patted Xu Luo on the shoulder excitedly.
