Chapter 6 Four Pieces
Coming out of the bazaar, Wei Guo had a big round belly, and his stomach was tumbling over, eager to spit out all the four honey dumplings he had just eaten. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But Dongmei was extremely happy, and the whole person seemed to be much more energetic.
Although she also felt that the food had been stuffed into her neck, it was delicious, delicious, and enjoyable, and she had never been so open, so big.
In the department store cooperative, there is a wide variety of goods.
The two of them turned around in a circle, and they basically looked at all the products they could see, but Wei Guo didn't pay attention to it for a long time, and he didn't buy it just by looking at it.
After waiting for a long time, Wei Guo finally said to Dongmei: "Dongmei, my old man, the old man, I can't understand which one is good to buy and which one is not good, so you can watch and buy it for us." ā
Dongmei also turned her eyes dizzy, looked around at the goods around and replied to Wei Guo: "I'll pick what to do, and I don't know your preferences, what if I like something and you don't like it." ā
Wei Guo scratched the back of his head, and said with a simple smile: "It doesn't matter if I like it or not, as long as you like it." ā
Dongmei listened to what Wei Guo said, word for word, but she still didn't hear what he meant, as long as I liked it, she replied to Wei Guo and said: "Buy it for your family, or you can pick it, I can't pick it." ā
Wei Guo looked at several different brands of bicycles in front of him and said: "Let's go buy bicycles first, Golden Deer brand, Phoenix brand, Flying Pigeon brand, permanent brand, 28, or 26, you can pick it." ā
Under Wei Guo's dead face, Dong Mei really couldn't refuse, thinking that maybe Wei Guo really couldn't pick it, she had been in the city for a few years, and she still knew a lot about the brand, so she took the initiative to take on the responsibility of "buyer".
Finally, when they came out of the department store cooperative, they were pushing Erliu Heavy Flying Pigeon bicycles, with Butterfly sewing machines on the car and Kailong radios in their arms. Wei Guo also brought a plum blossom brand watch on his wrist, and he originally wanted to buy a piece for Dongmei, but Dongmei didn't ask for it, she felt that she didn't want to spend Wei Guo's money, and second, she couldn't afford that kind of expensive things.
This one, Wei Guo's mother and Wei Guo's father, after eating at noon, came to Dongmei's house.
They came this time to get down to business.
You don't need to knock on the door to enter the countryside, as long as the head door is open, you can push it open and go in.
Dongmei's parents happened to be not busy, and when they saw that the two old men were coming, they hurriedly welcomed them into the back room, took off their shoes, and let them sit on the kang.
The four old men sat on the hot kang and covered their waists with cups, which was very hot.
Wei Guo's father is not good at words, he sits on the kang and doesn't say a word, just laughs from time to time, all because Wei Guo's mother keeps talking.
After finishing the gossip, Wei Guo's mother changed her words and told Dongmei's parents bluntly that the two elders came to discuss the marriage of Wei Guo and Dongmei this time, and it would be up to the two old men to see what they thought.
Dongmei's family is just the opposite, Dongmei's mother sat next to her and listened carefully, Dongmei's father is also a bunch of big truths, when he heard about marriage, Dongmei's father was not surprised, he is a trustworthy and reasonable person, since he was a child to two dolls after the doll kiss, he knew that one day his woman was going to marry to the country, he smiled, his heart was still relatively happy, and he expressed his opinion.
As soon as Wei Guo's mother heard that Dong Mei's father approved of the marriage of Wei Guo and Dong Mei with both hands, she took out the bride price money from the pocket of her clothes, and said that Wei Guo would go to Xinjiang to work until the end of February, let's set the marriage until the end of February.
Dongmei's father looked at the bride price in Wei Guo's mother's hand and was stunned for a moment, and then said What is this?
Wei Guo's mother smiled and said that this is 400 yuan of bride price, don't dislike it.
Dongmei's mother, who was next to her, hurriedly interjected and said How can we be too little, the bride price for our marriage here is about 200 yuan, and you actually gave twice as much, too much, let's take half of it.
Wei Guo's mother refused, saying that she would give Dongmei's family a lot of four hundred yuan, she said don't shirk, take it, when the doll was young, I fell in love with Dongmei at a glance, and I fell in love with her tall and beautiful. Our old couple is low, and the four babies born are all very low, so I think that in the future, Dongmei will give birth to a baby for our Cui family, who must be tall, and our ancestors have been looking forward to having a tall descendant for generations.
After speaking, Wei Guo's mother smiled heartily and handed over the four hundred yuan of bride price.
But Dongmei's father said that he didn't accept anything, he said that the bride price for marrying a woman is 200, and I will collect 400 here, if people know, it is not a joke that my old Yin sees money and opens his eyes, and sells women to make money, you can take half of it.
The four hundred yuan bride price money was pushed back and forth between the four old men, and the atmosphere instantly became very embarrassing.
Wei Guo's mother still thinks a lot, she has already thought of a way to deal with it. She put the money on the edge of the kang, and then said to Dongmei's parents with a smile, you accept the money, don't be afraid of people's jokes, today Weiguo went out to buy four big pieces and came back, and put them in your house, on the day of marrying Dongmei, you brought these four big pieces over, and said that your mother's family accompanied you, so that no one will laugh at you for receiving four hundred yuan in bride price.
Dongmei's father still wanted to refuse, but seeing Wei Guo's mother's determined appearance, he was really embarrassed to push around. Dongmei's mother next to her hurriedly interjected and said that this is okay, and let Dongmei honor the two old men in the future.
Not long after the two old men left, Wei Guo and Dongmei pushed the "four major pieces" into the house.
After eating, Dongmei went to wash the dishes, and Dongmei's father came over to chat with Weiguo enthusiastically.
Wei Guo looked at Dongmei's father, who was tough and ten centimeters taller than himself, and called Uncle enthusiastically.
Dongmei's father and Wei Guo chatted enthusiastically, asking long and short, asking which secondary school he graduated from, how is his work unit, whether the work is hard or not, how is Xinjiang, whether he misses home over there, whether he can eat enough, and how often he goes home?????
Wei Guo 1510 answered Dongmei's father's question in detail.
In the end, Dongmei's father looked at Wei Guo kindly and said, "Do you want my Dongmei family?"
Wei Guo suddenly heard Dongmei's father ask this question, his face suddenly turned red, and he felt very embarrassed, he paused, lost his previous thin skin, and "gritted his teeth" and said, "I am willing." ā
Dongmei's father was very firm when he heard Wei Guo's answer, so he became interested and continued to ask him: "Yes, he is a good guy." However, the person who wants to marry my Dongmei must be a smart person, I ask you a question, you must be able to answer it, and you must answer it correctly, you can be considered a smart person, and you can marry my Dongmei. ā
Wei Guo smiled and said, "Okay!"
Dongmei's father looked at Wei Guo and said: "This question is very simple and easy to answer, let me ask you, a pound of iron or a pound of cotton, which one is heavier?"
When Wei Guo heard Dongmei's father's question, he almost laughed, and said in his heart that it was such a simple question, and he thought it was so unfathomable, and answering this question was not a piece of cake, so he looked at Dongmei's father with resolute eyes, and replied confidently: "Of course it's iron." ā
When Dongmei's father heard Wei Guo's answer, he was stunned for a long time, crying and laughing, but he still smiled at Wei Guo and said, "En." Then he nodded, and returned to his room thoughtfully.
When Wei Guo left, he told Dongmei that the four major items would be put in her house.
Dongmei was surprised and asked why Weiguo didn't take it away.
Wei Guo said that there were too many things, and he was weak alone, so he couldn't take so many things with him, and he would come back next time to get them.
Dongmei thought about it, Wei Guo's thin body, he had to walk a kilometer home, how could he take so many things, so she asked Wei Guo to put the things, she kept them for Wei Guo, and when Wei Guo was free another day, come and get them.
At this time, Dongmei's father walked out of the back room, smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth and said, "Let's take these things back first, not only is it inconvenient to put them here, but it is not a thing." ā
Wei Guo saw that Dongmei's father's expression was very serious, and his tone of voice seemed to be very serious, so he couldn't decide whether to take away the four major pieces or leave the four major pieces.
Just when Wei Guo was hesitating, Dongmei stood up, she put down the things in her hand and said, "Just put it in our house, and it won't get in the way." ā
As soon as Dongmei's father heard his daughter's words, this was not clearly speaking to Weiguo, it seemed that his daughter was really willing to defend the country and this marriage, so his serious expression bloomed, and he smiled at Weiguo and said, "Since Dongmei asked you to leave things, then you can stay." ā
Wei Guo saw that the situation was improving for him, so he was nervous and happy and said, "Thank you????? Uncle, I ??? Let's go??? Good bye. ā
As soon as Dongmei heard Wei Guo's stammering tone, she knew that he was nervous again.
At night, Dongmei lay on the warm kang, took off her cotton jacket, and was just about to turn off the kerosene lamp to go to bed when she heard her mother call her to open the door outside the house.
Dongmei opened the door and saw her mother coming over with her clothes and hair untied, obviously just falling asleep and having something in her heart, so she got up again to talk to her.
Mother sat on Dongmei's kang, rubbed her face with her hands, and said, "I almost fell asleep, but I looked at it and told you something." ā
Dongmei took an embroidery needle to pick the twist of the kerosene lamp roughly, and asked her mother, "What's the matter, it's still so urgent, can't you say it tomorrow?" ā
The mother put the quilt on her body and said, "It's okay, but I guess you know about it." ā
Dongmei got off the kang, picked up the small pot of kerosene, poured some kerosene into the lamp, and thought to herself that her mother usually speaks bluntly, why is she still selling guanzi today, so she asked her mother, "Say it." ā
After a day's work, my mother was very tired, so she simply walked her whole body, looked at Dongmei and said, "When the time comes, you will go to Xinjiang with Weiguo, or stay at your mother-in-law's house to farm." ā
After listening to her mother's words, Dongmei was very puzzled, and said that she had been communicating with her mother for more than 20 years, and today she couldn't understand her mother's words, what was farming at her mother-in-law's house and going to Xinjiang, so she frowned and asked her mother seriously: "Mom, are you sleepy, and then talk nonsense, what do you mean, please be blunt." ā
The mother was suddenly amused, and said in her heart that she was such a big girl, and she was not so big or small, what a blunt statement, so she asked Dongmei bluntly: "After you marry Wei Guo at the end of February, are you going to go to Xinjiang with him, or stay in the village to farm." ā
Hearing her mother's words, Dongmei laughed all of a sudden, and said, "What kind of marriage, I just started talking about Wei Guo, do you understand at the beginning, I haven't thought about getting married so soon." ā
The mother looked at her daughter's naughty expression, and said that this is the case, and she pretended garlic with me, went out with Wei Guo to buy the four major pieces, and asked Wei Guo to leave the four major pieces at home, the girl's family is big, and she is not shy, but this time she suddenly pretended to be garlic with me, so she said: "Wei Guo's parents came to our house today and gave 400 yuan as a bride price, and the date is set for the end of February, as soon as you and Wei Guo get married, I will rest assured, and I don't care about you anymore." ā
Dongmei was taken aback, the pillow she was holding in her arms fell onto the kang, and she stared at her big round eyes and said, "Mom, what are you talking about, it's really fake, did you agree?"
The mother wondered why her daughter's reaction was so surprised, she said: "I agreed, the bride price is 400, your father is too much, and Wei Guo's mother said to put the four major pieces in our house, and said that we will marry them." Today, don't you also speak for Weiguo and let us leave the four major items to our house?"
Dongmei, who has been in the dark, only then realized that the four major pieces that she accompanied Weiguo to buy turned out to be the four major pieces for her marriage, no wonder Weiguo asked her to choose, and as long as she liked it.
Dongmei looked at her mother aggrievedly, tears rolled in her eyes, and said, "Mom, what can I do?"
