Chapter 137: "Black Girl"
After breakfast, Ye Rongrong and Liu Jingqing sat in the open space outside the courtyard to bask in the sun, there was a very large open space in front of the courtyard of Ye Rongrong's house, which was used to dry rice in the past, and there were not many other places in the countryside, and there were many such open spaces.
"Husband, let's name these little guys. ”
Liu Jingqing looked at the five little wild boars who were playing happily with "Xiaobai" in front of him, and said to his man.
"These five little wild boars are about the same size, even if they are named, they can't tell who is with whom, I think they will be named in the future, as for the female wild boar, it is simple, it is called 'King Kong its daughter-in-law'. Ye Rongrong didn't bother to think about the name, so he said casually.
"What 'King Kong its daughter-in-law' is ugly to hear, and these five little piglets are not easy to recognize now, and it's very simple, hang a trinket around their necks, won't you distinguish them?"
Liu Jingqing said. My own man is too lazy, and he is so careless about naming these pets at home, what is "King Kong its daughter-in-law", what kind of name is this.
"You also know that the men in your family are just beginning to become Chinese, and they can't come up with any nice names, so let's take them." Ye Rongrong leaned back in the chair and said lazily.
"I think it's nice to call the female boar 'Black Girl'. Liu Jingqing thought for a while and said.
"Black girl, this name is good, easy to remember, it's called 'black girl'. ”
Ye Rongrong said directly. In fact, even if Liu Jingqing named the sow "White Girl", Ye Rongrong would feel good.
"Husband, those little wild boar cubs, let's choose the name. Liu Jingqing saw that his man looked lazy, so he found some work for him.
"Simple, the five wild boar cubs are still young now, so let's just name the big boy, the second boy, the third boy, the fourth boy, and the fifth boy, what a name to remember. ”
Ye Rongrong didn't think about it and said. How hard it is to choose a name, it is better to learn from the village people to give the doll a nickname, what a big baby, two babies, how simple.
"It's too easy, forget it, let's do it for now, and then we'll have another name when they're older. Liu Jingqing said helplessly.
……
"Is glory at home?"
At night, Ye Rongrong and Liu Jingqing were watching TV in the house, and a middle-aged man's voice came from outside the courtyard.
"It's Uncle Cheng, I'm in the house. ”
As soon as Ye Rongrong heard this voice, he knew that it was Ye Tiancheng, the owner of the only small shop in the village, and according to his generation, Ye Rongrong wanted to call him uncle.
"I'm watching TV, this is the Jiannan spring wine that my baby bought from the city, and I know that Glory likes to drink liquor, so I'll bring two bottles here. ”
Ye Tiancheng said. In the countryside, there is a special way to give gifts, especially to give wine, which is generally a double number, that is, two bottles, symbolizing the meaning of good things in pairs.
"Uncle Cheng, sit down. “
Liu Jingqing moved a chair and asked Ye Tiancheng to sit down.
"Uncle Cheng, come here, bring some wine. Ye Rongrong said.
"This has to be, really let your Uncle Cheng come to the door empty-handed, and I will be embarrassed to come if you become an uncle. Ye Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Uncle Cheng, what's wrong with coming so late?"
Ye Rongrong asked. After all, for no reason, this Uncle Cheng would not send such a good wine to himself, Ye Rongrong is very clear about this.
"Isn't my baby engaged the day after tomorrow? I want to ask you to be a chef. Ye Tiancheng said.
"This thing, I heard Qin Jing say last time, no problem, time flies so fast, the honors are all engaged, I remember that the honor is only twenty-three this year, I should still be in college, right?"
Ye Rongrong has the impression that Ye Tiancheng's son Ye Rongrong is still in college this year, why is he engaged, and he has not graduated from college yet.
"I'm in college, and I'll graduate next year, but honor this kid has the ability, and I'll talk about it in school, and girls like honor, and they want to give this thing before graduating from college?"
Ye Tiancheng said with some pride. After all, in the countryside, it is a very remarkable thing for someone's baby to marry a female college student.
Just because of this matter, Ye Tiancheng has not been showing off everywhere, his son is a college student, his future daughter-in-law is also a college student, and he is still from the city, what a glorious thing.
"It's still honor, this kid has the ability, not to mention being admitted to college, and abducting back to a female college student in the city, Uncle Cheng, you are blessed. Ye Rongrong said with a smile.
"It's my baby who earns his luck, and it's not in vain that I worked hard for him to go to college. ”
Ye Tiancheng said happily. As a parent, the most proud thing is nothing more than that your child has the ability to be boasted of.
"Is the girlfriend of honor pretty?"
Liu Jingqing asked curiously. Ye Rong, Liu Jingqing has seen a few times, a tall, very handsome boy, and Liu Jingqing feels that he is a particularly shy boy.
Every time Liu Jingqing talked to him, he would blush, and he didn't dare to look up at Liu Jingqing.
"Beautiful, I went to the girl's house in the city with her mother a few days ago to see her, her name is Wang Xiaojia, she is white and pure, very polite, her family is quite rich, and her parents also like honor. ”
Speaking of his son's girlfriend, Ye Tiancheng became excited, in the eyes of rural people, a white and pure girl is a beautiful girl.
"Honor, this kid is really capable, not only makes the female college students in the city like him, but also takes the initiative to get engaged to him,. ”
Ye Rongrong also said happily. After all, in a village, Ye Rongrong still calls himself brother, he now has the ability and a daughter-in-law, and Ye Rongrong is also happy for him.
"How much dowry does the woman's family want?"
Liu Jingqing asked, after all, he has lived here for more than a year, and Liu Jingqing also knows that in the south, men and women are engaged, and the man has to give the woman a dowry.
The woman's parents said that it was just such a daughter, and the son-in-law was a son, so they didn't want a dowry, and said that when they graduated from college, they would pay to buy them a house in the city. ”
Ye Tiancheng said, but speaking of this, Ye Tiancheng, who was originally a little happy, also calmed down a lot, and it could be seen from his face that he was actually a little helpless in his heart.
After all, in the hearts of southerners, it is the man's parents to buy a house for their son's marriage, and now it has become the woman's parents to pay for the house, which is in terms of identity, so that the man's parents will be a little lower, and in addition to the house is bought near the woman's house, his son has almost become someone's son-in-law.
But knowing that this is the case, Ye Tiancheng can only admit it, who let his family have no money to buy a house for his son in the city, and give his children a better space for development, as parents, sometimes, they always make a lot of unwillingness concessions for their children.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and those who have never been parents will not understand this complex psychological contradiction.
"That's not bad, by the way, Uncle Cheng, is the engagement banquet the day after tomorrow noon, or in the evening?" Ye Rongrong asked
"At noon, there will be five tables. Ye Tiancheng said.
"Okay, according to what standard of money?" Ye Rongrong asked.
"This thing can't be shabby, we can't let the people in the city look down on us, and do it according to the three thousand tables. Ye Tiancheng said.
"Three thousand yuan a table, Uncle Cheng, you are a big deal. ”
Ye Rongrong said with a smile. In the southern countryside, wedding banquets are generally held at a table of 1,000 to 1,500 yuan or 3,000 yuan, which is really so good that others can't gossip.
"We can't weaken the decency of our rural people. Ye Tiancheng said.
"Uncle Cheng, you're right, we can't let the people in the city underestimate us, we will go to the town to buy vegetables at five o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. ”
Ye Rongrong said that as a chef, he must also participate in the purchase, after all, only the chef can grasp how many portions of dishes are needed to cook.
