Chapter 129: Here comes the next hire

Second Aunt Xiang also agreed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone unanimously approved, Zhang Youkang raised his wine glass and said happily: "Cheng! Then this matter is so agreed, I will send him a letter when I go back, so that he can feel at ease." This kid is at home in the army, for fear that a few of us adults will not be in a hurry and postpone his marriage until the next year, so I will write to urge ......"

"Hahaha......"

Qingling was so laughed that her cheeks fluttered, and she used the excuse of going to the stove room to serve food to everyone, hiding her face and running away.

In any case, the two plans to get a license before the moon and get married before Chinese New Year's Eve were officially put on the agenda that night.

As soon as the wedding feast is finalized, the bride price, furniture and other wedding items must be prepared.

Getting married in the countryside is fashionable to beat gongs and drums to spread good news.

Although there is no real gong and drum, everything that should be known is known.

As the titular grandmother, Mrs. Shu was also notified. However, she still insisted on asking for so many dowries, and it must belong to her old Shu family, and she couldn't bring it back to her husband's house when she got married.

Who cares about her! If she sells her granddaughter, she sells her granddaughter, or sells her granddaughter!

It's not that there is no one to sit in the high hall without Lao Shu's house, and there is a serious master behind her to be her solid backing, Qingling is not afraid of Mrs. Shu's threat at all.

Who wouldn't know how to crack down on the mouth?

It was the time to crack down, dare to do it, and send her to the cowshed to accompany her son in minutes!

No matter how fierce Mrs. Shu is, she has a powerful mouth. If you really want to use a knife or a gun, the cliff will not dare.

What's more, Liu Qiaocui was absent-minded during this time, she didn't know what she was calculating, and she was not so in tune with Mrs. Shu, and for some housework, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could quarrel from morning to night. Mrs. Shu really didn't have the strength to meddle in her granddaughter's marriage.

Qingling is happy to have a clean ear.

Considering that the parents of the two families are gone (Xiang Gang's mother who ran away was ignored by everyone intentionally or unintentionally), Zhang Youkang discussed with the two matchmakers, and sent a letter to Xiang Gang, the bride price is not much, and it is okay to send 180 yuan with the flow, but the new bed and new furniture that the man should prepare must be in place. I can't get a license to hold a wedding banquet here, and I don't even have a decent wedding room over there.

As for the popular three turns and one ring for marriage in the city, it is of course good to be able to make up two turns and three turns, but the money is really tight, and there must be a sewing machine. For the rest, when the days after marriage are slowly getting better, the couple will add to it themselves.

In fact, this doesn't need to be said by the old doctor at all, Xiang Gang was prepared.

The bride price was 266, not including the cost of wood for the secretary to find someone to help make the furniture and the cost of buying clothes for Qingling.

In addition, he sent a special letter explaining that it was a little difficult for the time being, except for the radio, because he promised the president and secretary to get a few for the commune first, and his own could only wait later. But sewing machines, bicycles, and watches will definitely be ready, and they will be sent before the lunar month.

Xiang Gang's remittance and letter arrived almost at the same time, and the second elder of the Zhang family nodded with satisfaction after reading it. Although at the request of the apprentice, the bride price conditions were lowered, but as the elder of the woman, who doesn't want the girl to marry in style?

Through this, everyone is more satisfied with Xiang Gang.

Grandma Zhang smiled and handed over the two hundred yuan to Qingling: "Gangzi specially explained that this is to buy clothes, shoes and socks for you." After the autumn harvest, let your Aunt Deng accompany you to the provincial capital. The supply and marketing cooperatives do not sell ready-to-wear garments, and there are not as many cloth colors as department stores in provincial cities. I asked the old man to send a letter to Yue Jun, make an appointment, and the two of you will go to the provincial capital for two days together, and let Yue Jun's daughter-in-law accompany you to visit the department store. I just brought back the quilt noodles and quilt clips I asked her to buy. As soon as the cotton is beaten, it's time to sew the quilt. ”

The dowry is not tight, but the quilt is a must.

The old couple discussed it early in the morning: the eight bunks and eight pillows used for the apprentice's marriage will be provided by them.

Eight shops refer to four pads and four covers, and the quilt does not need to be covered or clamped, just play the cotton to be soft and soft. The cover quilt is exquisite, not only to have stripes or a color of cotton cloth in the clip, but also to sew the festive satin of red and green, and the patterns are a hundred birds and a phoenix, a rich peony, a mandarin duck playing in the water, and so on. Therefore, don't look at just four quilts, the cost is not a lot.

According to Deng Mei, the most expensive embroidered satin in the provincial department store sells for 200 yuan a piece. Before her eldest daughter got married, she had accompanied her to see it, and when she saw that it was so expensive, she immediately retracted her neck, and finally bought a cheap one, satin and simple patterns, which cost 18 yuan a piece, and four sets of quilts plus sandwiches, not to mention a hundred yuan.

Qingling listened to it bluntly. Sleeping quilts, all so expensive?

"Of course there are cheap ones, but it's not satin. Do you want to do it? It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, who can save this money?"

Qingling twisted her braids and asked coquettishly: "Auntie, is there a glossy one to sell? It's so expensive to bring a pattern, it's better for me to embroider it myself." ”

Deng Mei sneered: "Silly girl, I know you want to save some money for your master and sister." It can be embroidered on the surface, but it is not as simple as hooking a few stitches on the upper, it is a whole painting, and the slightest mistake will destroy the good satin, who dares to buy it back and embroider it themselves. Even if the embroidery is correct, it is not as neat as the machine shuttle. Besides, the time is too rushed, the autumn harvest is busy and it is the end of the ninth lunar month, and you have time to embroider the four quilts in less than three months?"

Grandma Zhang listened, smiled and scratched the tip of Qingling's nose: "You don't have to worry about this, you can complete the task by buying the clothes you like and the daily necessities you want, and leave the rest to the master...... Why don't you trust the old woman?"

"How can it! The master does things in a straightforward and well-organized manner, I can still believe that you are old. Qingling was busy patting the teacher's ass.

Everyone was amused.

Xiang Gang remitted the bride price money, and did not hide it from the villagers.

I can't hide it, when the postman sent the remittance slip, there were many people crowded in the health center, and a member of the club was stung by a wild bee, and his forehead was swollen with a big bag, and Zhang Youkang was being disinfected and swollen.

The remittance slip was delivered and required to be signed by the parties, and Zhang Youkang had to stop his work to deal with the postman. So much so that everyone present knew that Xiang Gang had just remitted the bride price money to Lao Zhang's family.

There are always a few people who don't have a door to turn around and tell the story. It didn't take long for Mrs. Shu to know, and rushed into the old doctor's house all the way with a scolding:

"Okay, you Zhang Youkang! Our family Jianqiang is right, inexplicably accepting a fugitive is not good, look! The true face is revealed, right? Dare to be greedy for the bride price that our old Shu family deserves!"

Zhang Youkang's face turned blue with anger: "Sister-in-law of the Shu family, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, Gangzi sent me money Yes, but this is the bride price money he hired, I told the matchmakers on both sides that I would press the bottom of the box for Yingfang's girl." ”
