On the third day, when the bank opened, Cui Fei's mother's phone was the first to call Dongmei's mobile phone.

At this time, Dongmei had just finished cooking the family's breakfast and had not yet cleaned up the house.

She hurriedly picked up the phone and said, "Hey......"

After Cui Fei's mother answered the phone, she said directly: "Mother-in-law, today's banks seem to be open."

No, you go and get the money this morning, and then give our family Cui Fei in the afternoon, and bring the bride price. ”

Dongmei has lived for most of her life, but it is the first time she has encountered such a strange thing, and she was urged by the woman's mother to go to the bank to withdraw money and give them a bride price?

Dongmei said unhappily: "Although the bank is open today, you have to at least let me and the child's father eat and then go to withdraw the money, right?"

Cui Fei's mother heard that Dongmei was unhappy, she smiled and said, "No, I called this time, in fact, it wasn't mainly for the bride price......

Hearing this, Dongmei knew that Cui Fei's mother must have some ghost idea.

She said, "Since it's not for the bride price, then if you have something, you can say it." ”

Cui Fei's mother paused, and then said: "Mother-in-law, it's like this, there is another rule in our HN County, I forgot to tell you." ”

Hearing that it was the rules of their hometown again, Dongmei said with disgust: "Isn't it just the money at the bottom of the box, on the day of the wedding, I will definitely give it to you, you can rest assured." ”

Cui Fei's mother giggled and said, "Mother-in-law, it's not a matter of pressing the bottom of the box. “

Hearing this, Dongmei didn't understand and said, "What's the matter?"

Cui Fei's mother spared the bend for a long time, and finally said it, the ghost idea in her heart.

She said: "Mother-in-law, what about our HN county, when the man's family comes to give the bride price, he can't come empty-handed." ”

Dongmei knew that Cui Fei's mother was going to ask for a gift again.

She said: "For the Chinese New Year, we will definitely come with gifts, so you can rest assured." ”

After speaking, Dongmei thought to herself, this in-law has simply fallen into the eyes of money.

Cui Fei's mother smiled awkwardly and said, "No, it's not just a gift......

Hearing that it was not just a gift, Dongmei's heart chuckled.

She said in her heart, do you want money?

However, for Taotao's marriage, he has promised them a bride price of 80,000 yuan.

What is the concept of 80,000 bride price, that is, in the Changqing Family Home for so many years, no family has married their son and given so many bride price to the woman's family.

Dongmei said: "What's the matter, don't you think the bride price of 80,000 yuan is not enough?"

Cui Fei's mother said to the point: "The bride price is enough, absolutely enough."

It's just that, according to the rules of our HN county, when you come over, you must give our house two bottles of Moutai wine and two Chinese cigarettes. ”

Hearing this, Dongmei's eyes widened.

She said in her heart: "You still say you don't want money, isn't this asking for money in disguise?"

A bottle of Moutai wine, let alone thousands of yuan, and a Chinese cigarette, at least seven or eight hundred, this is calculated, and you have to take out nearly 5,000 yuan.

Dongmei couldn't help but ask Cui Fei's mother on the phone, saying: "Mother-in-law, your family is a single-worker family, and our family is also a single-worker family, so men go to work alone to earn money."

We are neither a family of officials nor a cash cow, so how can you stand and talk without backache?

You've never mentioned asking for cigarettes or alcohol before, have you?

Why did you come to the front and suddenly ask for cigarettes and alcohol?"

Hearing that Dongmei was unwilling, Cui Fei's mother said embarrassedly: "We don't treat your family as a cash cow, you are a son marrying a daughter-in-law, we are a married woman, it is normal for you to bring some cigarettes and alcohol." ”

Faced with the brazenness of Cui Fei's parents, Dongmei didn't know what to say.

She said, "Okay, then I'll go out and buy you cigarettes and alcohol."

However, now there are a lot of fake cigarettes and drinks outside, and when the time comes, you can buy fake ones, don't be suspicious.

Because Wei Guo doesn't smoke or drink, he doesn't know real Moutai and real Chinese tobacco at all. ”

Obviously, Cui Fei's mother had already expected this.

She smiled and said, "My family, although Wei Guo doesn't know tobacco and alcohol, Cui Fei's father knows tobacco and alcohol."

He knew that in the courtyard of Changqing, on the opposite side of the big stone, there was a high-tobacco and famous liquor store, which sold real cigarettes and real wine, you can go there and buy it, it is absolutely true. ”

Hearing this, Dongmei was also speechless.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, okay, we'll go buy you alcohol and cigarettes now, and then the bank will withdraw money for you......"

After speaking, Dongmei hung up the phone angrily.

However, before Dongmei could tell Wei Guo about buying cigarettes and alcohol, Cui Fei's mother's phone called again.

Dongmei saw that it was Cui Fei's mother's phone again, and she thought in fear, do you want money again?

After Dongmei picked up the phone, she said, "What else do you want besides tobacco and alcohol?"

Cui Fei's mother listened to Dongmei's words, she said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, as long as you bring us the bride price money, as well as cigarettes and wine on time in the afternoon, we will definitely give you some money back when we collect the bride price." ”

Usually, when the bride price is paid, the woman will more or less retreat, which is an unwritten rule in the northwest region.

When Dongmei heard that Cui Fei's mother would return some bride price, she couldn't believe it and said: "In your HN County area, you will generally retreat to a small bride price." ”

Cui Fei's mother said in her words: "Don't say everything, but in our HN County area, although the bride price is high, but there are also many refunds, you can rest assured." ”

Hearing this, Dong Meixin said, should she and Weiguo give them a bride price of 80,000 yuan, and then Cui Fei's mother will give her a refund of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, right?

In this way, isn't the bride price reduced to 60,000 or 70,000?

Cui Fei's mother continued: "Mother-in-law, you and Weiguo can rest assured, buy us Moutai and Zhonghua, and we will definitely refund you a lot of money." ”

After hanging up the phone, Dongmei told Wei Guo about it.

When Wei Guo heard that Cui Fei's family had returned part of the bride price, he couldn't believe it and said, "Cui Fei's mother, will you really return it?"

Dongmei nodded, shook her head again, and said, "It's possible." ”

Wei Guo thought for a while and said, "Since people want to refund us a part of the bride price, then let's go and buy cigarettes and bars for others." ”

With that, Dongmei and Wei Guo set off.

The two first went to the bank to withdraw money, and then went to the high-tobacco famous liquor opposite the big stone, and spent nearly 5,000 yuan to buy two bottles of Moutai and two Chinese cigarettes.

Wei Guo carried a heavy load of cigarettes and alcohol in his hands.

He joked: "I don't smoke or drink in my life, and all the money I saved is spent at once this time." “

Dongmei walked beside Wei Guo, she sighed and said, "Who let you give birth to a son, if you gave birth to two daughters at that time, you probably wouldn't have to spend so much money." “

Hearing this, Wei Guo sighed and said: "Everyone says that the son is good, the son is filial, and the son is the pillar of the family......

Even, some families do everything they can to have a son.

But I see now, those families that have no sons but only daughters are a hundred times happier than our families with sons. “

Dongmei followed Wei Guo and walked towards home.

She said: "Weiguo, you said that we will go to Cui Fei's house this afternoon, will Cui Fei's parents really give us a refund of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in dowry?"

Wei Guo thought for a while and said, "It should be, if something comes out of the mouth of an adult, it will never break its promise, right?"
