Chapter 65: The Lion Opens His Mouth
Mrs. Shu was sitting at the door of the courtyard of Da'er's house at this time, because she was afraid of the snakes in the house, she refused to enter the courtyard door, but she refused to leave, and she asked everyone to comment on it, saying how nosy the Zhang family was, saying that Deng Mei was also a confused person, obviously she was the person in charge, but she bypassed her to listen to an outsider's orders. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Deng Mei and the others arrived in a hurry, panting and trying to pull Mrs. Shu up: "Aunt Shu, what are you doing here?
"There's not much to say. Why should an outsider interfere in the affairs of our old Shu family?"
"Yingfang's master and sister are outsiders, not to mention that they are also out of kindness, you see that Yingfang has passed the eighteenth year of the year, and the filial piety of the two members of the army has been guarded for three years, and now it is time for her to plan a personal event for filial piety. If you don't implement it, you will be made fun of by people openly and secretly. We all think the personal conditions of the child are good, no, I was about to talk to my aunt about this, I didn't expect you to know first, that's done, left and right about this matter, auntie, you think about it......"
"Consider it, come on, bring me the bride price first! Three hundred and eighty-eight in cash, one piece in three turns and one ring, no less! I will collect less clothes, just two hundred. Let him watch the others! We old Shu family marry granddaughter, and the pomp and circumstance can't be left behind. ”
The melon-eating masses collectively gasped:
"Oh my God! 388 cash bride price, and in addition, it has to be turned three times and one ring?
"That's right! When a county party committee cadre marries a daughter, there may not be such a big pomp. ”
Three turns and one ring only became popular this year, and in previous years, they were all three major pieces.
It can be said that there are three major pieces, and that is not something that everyone can put together. In addition to the difficulty of getting tickets, it is also expensive on the one hand, bicycles cost at least 13, sewing machines 15, watches made in 12, imported don't think about it, the price is very high, and almost no one cares about small counties.
This year, I heard that another sound was added - the radio, but I also heard that no one in the Yanqi Brigade has ever gotten this thing anyway. The price is said to be fifty yuan, but there is no way to buy it.
Even if his man can buy it, just these three turns will go to four hundred and five, and Mrs. Shu even wants a gift of three hundred and eighty-eight yuan and two hundred yuan of clothes, which is too much.
You must know that the book records that the family marries the eldest daughter in the spring, and the man whose family is in the county town gives 200 gifts, three major pieces worth 400, and 200 clothes for the woman, with a total price of 800 yuan. With such conditions as the Shu family, they actually opened their mouths for more than 1,000, should they be a little more greedy?
Deng Mei also laughed angrily: "I said aunt, are you really marrying a granddaughter? The whole brigade, which family marries a girl or granddaughter has such a big mouth as you? Not to mention the cash bride price of 388, just the three turns and one ring, so far, which family have you seen to make up the four major pieces? You obviously don't want Yingfang to get married." ”
With such a grandmother, even if the media is not successful this time, I am afraid that no one will dare to come to the door to propose marriage in the future. This is to encircle a good girl in the family as an old aunt for life.
"I don't care how other people's families marry daughters, my old Shu family has such conditions, and if they can't meet it, they will come to propose marriage. Mrs. Shu said with a very unbeaten expression.
Fortunately, Deng Mei had expected it, and said calmly: "Auntie, Yingfang now worships Lao Zhang as a teacher, and they all say that she is a teacher for one day and a father for life, and Lao Zhang, as her master, can completely make decisions for her when she encounters a situation that is really unavoidable." ”
"Phew! Who admits it? Who admits it? I don't admit any master! Eat cheap hooves inside and out, dare to let an outsider take care of it, since it's so kind, then get out of here! What are you doing occupying my old Shu's house!" Mrs. Shu's loud voice soared again.
Deng Mei opened her mouth, and was about to say don't open your mouth and shut up Your old Shu family's house, Jianjun's house, the owner of the house is him, and the co-owner is his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, no matter what, it is not your turn to be an old woman to call the shots.
But before he could speak, he was interrupted by another voice.
"Whether you admit it or not, I, Zhang Youkang, am Yingfang's master, this is a sure thing!"
It was Zhang Youkang who spoke, walking on crutches and in a hurry, apparently rushing from the health center. There is also a small tail behind him, which is the president's niece Feng Meiqin.
Zhang Youkang was in the health center and was unaware. No, the president's daughter-in-law has eaten a lot of wild meat that Xiang Gang has just sent in the past two days, and she has short hands and soft mouths, so she immediately went to the health center to report to Zhang Youkang. also thoughtfully sent her niece to follow. When you're old, don't be angry.
Although it is a pity that the capable and promising young man who was born in the army and can also go to the mountains to hunt was settled so quickly, otherwise, it would be good to ration it to his niece. Thinking of so many unfortunate things on the stall, I completely stopped this thought. Let's give it to the equally unlucky adopted daughter of the Shu family. The niece has such good conditions, and she is worried that she can't find a partner.
Grandma Zhang was then helped by a neighbor who knew about it.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiang Xiang drove the second aunt to a group of melon-eating people at the gate of the courtyard who were watching the play and watching the fun: "Everyone is scattered, after all, it is a matter in the house, give them space to have a good conversation, and no one will come to interrupt." ”
Someone quipped: "Second sister-in-law Xiang, aren't you also an outsider like us, why did you stay?"
Aunt Xiang replied with a smile: "Wrong! I'm not an outsider, I'm the middleman who matches Gangzi's side." ”
"Yo! Is that true? The old lady of the Shu family didn't lie? Gangzi really got along with Yingfang's girl?" Everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to listen to more gossip, but they were driven away by Xiang Er's aunt.
"What are you asking the second daughter-in-law for? If you want to ask, just ask Gangzi to go." Didn't his family repair the house today? The secretary drew a lot of people to help, but he couldn't ask Gangzi himself, and he couldn't ask those helpers. ”
"I don't think I need to ask, it's a matter of no concern. Why did Gangzi repair the house? It must be for marrying a daughter-in-law. ”
"Hahaha!"
The people who ate melons laughed and dispersed, leaving Mrs. Shu, Shu Jianqiang, the two elders of the Zhang family, and Deng Mei and Aunt Xiang.
Oh, and the party Qingling.
As for Lin Yang and Liu Jihong, seeing that there were more and more onlookers, they were afraid that their reputation would be damaged, especially Lin Yang, who was still looking forward to returning to the city before the year.
Fortunately, Mrs. Shu came in time, and as soon as she came, she sat on the ground and sprinkled, which led the scene to a climax, otherwise he would have been the one who made a fool of himself. Although he and Yingfang are innocent and will not go into the cowshed to criticize, the condemnation of public opinion is definitely indispensable. With such a fuss, how can he go back to the city? Once you lose this opportunity, you may not be able to go back for the rest of your life.
