Lin Xiaohong said: "What is more than 50,000 or 60,000? In the rural areas of the developed coastal areas, the price has risen to more than 100,000, and some are hundreds of thousands. ”

Zhou Yufang wanted to use this bride price or other things to stop their marriage, so he said: "The countryside is different from the city, besides, he is also from the countryside, and his family should know these rules." If they don't come to give the bride price, it means that they are not sincere, and they can't be counted. ”

Lin Shanshan was stunned, this is a new question, can Xiaobo's family afford to give a bride price? Does he have any money himself? And is he willing to give it away? These things will be quietly asked to him tomorrow.

She knew that the customs of the countryside could not be opposed, and besides, he could give me a bride price, which would also improve my face, so she agreed: "Okay, these questions, tomorrow, I will ask him." That sister-in-law, grandma, don't eat together tomorrow for the time being, depending on the situation, let's eat together after the Spring Festival is settled. ”

Her sister-in-law and grandmother both nodded happily in agreement. So, everyone just ate and chatted casually, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Lei Xiaobo walked into the hall and saw that the light was on, so he wanted to turn off the light, close the door again, and then walk into the West House. He thought that Lin Shanshan and her mother had slept together, and he was also a little weak and guilty, so he didn't want to disturb them.

But he was about to close the door of the West House, and Lin Shanshan shouted in the East House: "Lei Xiaobo, you are back." ”

Lei Xiaobo walked to the door of the east room a little nervously, looked inside, and saw Lin Shanshan sitting in Lin Xiaohong's position, facing west and leaning on the back of the bed, her mother had already fallen asleep, so she said, "Come back, you have rested." ”

Lin Shanshan looked at him with concern and said, "Have you been drinking? It doesn't matter, right? Why did you come back so late?"

Lei Xiaobo said: "I want to drive, so I don't drink. Two leaders came to the county tonight, chatting while eating, and it was too late. Lin Shanshan stared at him affectionately, her face couldn't hide her joy, and said, "It's too late today, you can go and rest too, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

Lei Xiaobo felt that she had already talked to her mother, and her heart warmed, and she said, "Okay, then I'll go over and talk about it tomorrow." So saying, he helped them close the door, walked into the West House, closed the door, and went to bed.

The next morning, Lin Shanshan got up with her mother, cleaned up the house diligently, made breakfast, and then knocked on Lei Xiaobo's door: "Get up, it's time for breakfast." ”

Lei Xiaobo immediately turned over and sat up, got dressed and got out of bed to open the door, looked at the beautiful and dignified Lin Shanshan and said, "Today is Sunday, you also got up so early." ”

Lin Shanshan's face was flushed, her eyes were bright and she looked at him, and when she saw her mother busy in the kitchen, she approached him affectionately and whispered, "After I came back yesterday, I easily persuaded my mother." ”

Lei Xiaobo was so panicked that he hurriedly took the basin and wanted to go out to wash. Lin Shanshan stopped him: "You go slowly, I'll tell you." Mom didn't agree at first, saying that we weren't suitable. I called my dad, and my dad had a good impression of you and agreed immediately. Later, during the meal, I told my sister-in-law and grandmother that they also supported me. My mom saw that it was useless for one person to object, so she reluctantly agreed, so you have to pay attention to it today. ”

Lei Xiaobo was holding a basin in his hand, his heart was weak, flustered, and his face was a little hot. He lowered his eyelids and didn't dare to look at Lin Shanshan, just stood there and listened quietly.

Lin Shanshan suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Did you offend my mother, why does he have such a big opinion of you?"

Lei Xiaobo was even more panicked, his eyes looked out of the door, and he said sneeringly: "No, I usually go out early and return late, and I don't talk to her much, what offended her?"

Lin Shanshan glanced out of the outer door, and said mysteriously: "That's weird, she seems to have a lot of opinions about you, how can this be?"

Lei Xiaobo's face was a little unbearable, so he hurriedly walked out and said, "I'll go wash my face and brush my teeth first." As he spoke, he turned and walked out.

He walked into the bathroom, put hot water to brush his teeth, and the landlord, who was busy in the kitchen, hurriedly walked over, first glanced into the hall, saw that his daughter was not at the door, quickly walked into the bathroom, and whispered to Lei Xiaobo: "You agree to fall in love with Xiaoshan?"

Lei Xiaobo was startled, and when he turned around and saw the landlord bluffing him angrily, he quickly turned around and wanted to walk out of the bathroom, but the landlord stretched out his right foot to stop him, and looked back again, and saw that his daughter was still in the house, so he asked softly: "You talked to her, what should I do?"

Lei Xiaobo looked up and saw that Lin Shanshan appeared at the door of the hall, and her hair was tingling with fright. He quickly gave the landlord a look, then pretended to be talking to her, raised his voice and said, "Okay, I see." ”

The landlord immediately retracted his right foot, and Lei Xiaobo said as he turned to the washstand to brush his teeth. The landlord walked back to the kitchen with a calm face, and said to his daughter with some embarrassment, "Let's get some food." ”

Lin Shanshan saw her mother and Lei Xiaobo talking at the door, but when she saw her, she immediately stopped talking. She felt a little strange, what was her mother talking to Lei Xiaobo? Could she still oppose our marriage?

She was very unhappy, so she decided to ask Lei Xiaobo later, just to talk about the bride price. She walked to the kitchen room to serve the rice bowl and called Lei Xiaobo and said, "It's time to eat." ”

Lei Xiaobo was so scared, he was afraid to sit up, Lin Shanshan said this in front of her mother, her mother took the risk to warn him just now, and almost let Lin Shanshan find out. The landlord is still against me and Lin Shanshan's relationship, how can I express my position?

But he couldn't avoid it today, so he could only sit at the table with his head stubborn and face their mother and daughter. The three of them immediately sat down, picked up their rice bowls and began to eat. Everyone has their own mentality, and they don't speak with their faces black. Lin Shanshan looked at them and said, "Let's eat first, eat and talk." ”

Breakfast is porridge with glutinous rice dumplings, and it is eaten quickly. After eating, the landlord said to his daughter, "Xiaoshan, you put away the bowl and go to the kitchen." She wanted to separate her daughter and secretly say a few more words to Lei Xiaobo.

Lin Shanshan was afraid that she would be like this, her mouth pursed, and said, "Why do you tell me to collect it, you go and clean it up." If I come back rarely, you will call me. ”

Lei Xiaobo stood up and said, "I'll clean up." The landlord quickly stood up, bluffed his daughter, and said, "Little lazy spirit, seeing that you have become a family, who will do the housework?"

Lei Xiaobo already had two bowls in his hand, so he didn't put them down, turned around and brought them to the kitchen, the landlord cleaned up the remaining dishes and chopsticks, and hurried to chase Lei Xiaobo, wanting to take the opportunity to say a few words to Lei Xiaobo, telling him not to agree to this family business, or to resign on the excuse that he couldn't afford to give a bride price.

Lin Shanshan saw that her mother quickly chased her out, and felt that something was wrong, so she got up and followed out. Lei Xiaobo put down the bowl in the kitchen, turned around and walked out, and the landlord couldn't stop him, and he couldn't talk to him.

Lei Xiaobo pretended not to know anything, and walked calmly to the hall. When Lin Shanshan passed by her, he suddenly made a 180-degree turn and followed Lei Xiaobo into the hall.

While the landlord was washing dishes in the kitchen, Lin Shanshan immediately leaned in and asked softly, "What did my mother tell you just now?"

Lei Xiaobo had already thought of the answer, and said without hesitation: "She told me that Xiaoshan offered to deal with you, and you don't agree to her." I didn't know what to say, but I wanted to leave, but she stretched out her foot to block me, and wanted to oppose us. ”

Lin Shanshan furrowed her brows and said suspiciously: "I really don't understand her, at first she encouraged me to talk to you, and now she is desperately opposing, why is this?"

Lei Xiaobo couldn't say anything, and he was also weak-hearted, so he lowered his eyelids and didn't look at her, nor did he squeak. But he wanted to talk to her in his heart, he thought about it, in addition to the ambiguity factor of the landlord, Lin Shanshan should be the most suitable girlfriend for him at present, more suitable than Lu Ju, so he ranked her in front of Lu Ju. But he didn't want to force it, and if the landlord was resolutely against it, he decided to talk to Lu Ju. After all, he had such a shameless thing with the landlord, it was too embarrassing and shameful.

Lin Shanshan whispered again: "Still, Xiaobo, yesterday my mother proposed that if we can be sure, the man will give the woman a bride price, saying that this is a custom in the countryside, can you send it?"

She stared at Lei Xiaobo a little nervously. Lei Xiaobo opened his eyelids and looked at her, and said, "There is no problem with this, we are also rural, as long as it can be settled, you can go home with me during the Spring Festival and let my parents take a look." If they are satisfied, I can give the bride price. What is the maximum delivery in your village?"

Lin Shanshan shook her head and said, "I don't know, my grandmother said that it has risen to fifty or sixty thousand now, and she said that it is still rising." ”

Lei Xiaobo said: "If I come to deliver it next year, I will guarantee that it will be the highest in the village and give you more face." ”

Lin Shanshan's eyes lit up with joy, and she really wanted to go up and kiss him. But at home, with her mother watching, she can't be so frivolous, she has to be more steady. When our relationship is settled, we can be locked up in the Westinghouse and make love. Just don't let my mom see it. Or let Xiaobo send me out in the afternoon, or you can sit in the car and make love.

After a while, her mother packed up and walked into the hall. Lin Shanshan said: "Let's sit down and talk. ”

She said that she was the first to sit down at the table, and Lei Xiaobo also sat down. Her mother had a gloomy face and didn't sit up. Lin Shanshan had no choice but to call her: "Mom, come on, let's talk, I have to go out in the afternoon, and I have to go to work early tomorrow morning." ”

Her mother sat down at the table silently. As soon as she sat up, she habitually, or uncontrollably, stared at Lei Xiaobo. Lei Xiaobo was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyelids and blocked her gaze out.

Lin Shanshan is really a capable girl, she preemptively said: "Xiaobo, when you were not here yesterday, I told my mother about the two of us. She agreed with us and was very supportive. ”

She simply said such things to please her mother and suppress her mother. made her mother no longer able to say anything against it, and then before her mother could speak to Lei Xiaobo, she said bluntly: "But my mother proposed that if our relationship is confirmed, the man will come to give us a bride price." Xiaobo, take a look, is there a problem with this?"
