In the countryside, marriage likes to talk about bride price and dowry, and the adults on both sides of the bride price are how much.

In fact, this is not to blame the parents-in-law for the reality, there are all parents in the world, how can parents not want their daughters to live well?

Whether the son-in-law has the ability, whether he will get rich in the future, and whether he will be good to his daughter or not, these are all things that cannot be seen now, but what the family background is and how much the bride price is available now. No matter how bad it is, ask for more gift money and put the bride price as a dowry, which can also make her daughter's life better, and save her son-in-law's family a loss when they split up in the future. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the husband and wife leave in the future, or the son-in-law is gone, the daughter can remarry with the dowry.

Li Jiaming's uncle and aunt agreed that the distant sixth cousin uncle would take Sun Shiquan to the door to show his daughter whether he liked it or not, which was also based on the consideration of the other party's superior family background. Now that the nephew has found a better future for his daughter, they will regret it without any guilt.

Repentance is a big deal in the countryside, but the media hasn't even said it, and just asked the other party's elders to bring someone over to show them, which can't blame them, and they can only blame this cousin for his bad luck. Marrying a yellow-faced woman in the countryside, and going to the city to be a worker and eat national grain, Li Jiaming's maternal uncle and aunt's brain are not broken, how can they not know how to choose?

Now that his maternal uncle and aunt have made up their minds, the distant sixth cousin can only regret it, finish the meal, say a few kind words, and take his soulless cousin and nephew to farewell.

After sending off the two lost uncles and nephews, the elders continued to bask in the sun, drink tea, chat, and talk about their old things. Winter is the most idle season in the countryside, and it is also the season when the elders visit relatives and friends, and the uncles and aunts and grandmothers have come to the sisters' house, and they have to stay for a few days before leaving? Li Jiaming's grandmother's legs and feet are inconvenient, and the two uncles are still discussing, and when the spring is not busy, they have to invite two motorcycles to take the two sisters back to live for a while, and the four brothers and sisters have not lived together in the old house for many years.

Hey, brother and sister love, the older you get, the more nostalgic you are, and after your parents pass away, the more important your brother and sister love becomes.

Li Jiaming, who was drinking tea with his elders and listening to their chats, couldn't help but smile when he heard the sound of his little sister laughing in the distance, wondering if in another 60 years, the little sister who has become a grandmother or mother-in-law will still rely on herself as she does now? To be a brother and sister to the little sister who has been lost and regained for 60 years, God is really good to himself!

Li Jiaming, who was in reverie, laughed with the elders for a while, and found an opportunity to sneak away to find Sue, there is no problem with being a brother and sister with the younger sister for sixty years, and now he has to go and handle his cousin's affairs well. Whether it is the relationship between the mother and the maternal uncle, or the relationship between himself, the little sister and the cousin, it is his responsibility to help the cousin.

"I'm going to make a phone call, can I get the key to the village?"

"Little thing, you wait a minute. ”

Within two minutes, Su Yan borrowed the key from his cousin-in-law, and the two went to the village to make a phone call.

Zhang Renquan, who had already gone to the Gaoqiao Police Station to take office, was very happy, sent away his subordinates in the office, covered the microphone and said: "Jiaming, this matter is simple, as long as it costs money." The household registration in the township is 6,000, and the county seat is 8,000. If you want to be sent to Takahashi, you can do it for 5,000. ”

Oh, it means that the township police station wants to get a thousand, Li Jiaming whispered: "What about Yuanzhou?"

"Huh, wait a minute, I'll ask my classmates. ”

"Hmm", Li Jiaming hung up the phone and sat on the rattan chair of his father-in-law (the youngest), pondering how to go to the second aunt to ask for money. Since the last time I got into trouble, the money has been managed by the second aunt, which is really a bit troublesome.

Seeing that the boss was so relaxed, he could get to the agricultural conversion index in two or three sentences, and his heart began to be lively. The difference in the price of state grain and resold grain costs six or seven cents, and how much money do you get over the years? Not to mention that if you eat state grain, you can still recruit workers and cadres!

"Jiaming, do you have a way to get the agricultural to non-agricultural index?"

Li Jiaming glanced at this young man, who was more than two years older than himself, his father earned more than 2,000 yuan last time as a small worker on the construction site, plus the family had to have a few thousand yuan, probably because he wanted to use his brain.

"Don't think about it! Sister Hong has the opportunity to recruit workers, and it just so happens that Brother Hao can help, how old are you? When you turn eighteen years old, you don't know if there are any state-owned factories recruiting workers. Besides, you are no better than a girl, in the future, you will have to support the top of the household, you can't make a lot of money as a worker, you can't get ahead, what's the point of just getting a town hukou?"

"It's not"

Li Jiaming waved his hand and said arbitrarily: "No, I'm smarter than you, when you graduate from junior high school, if you don't go to do business with Mao Ling, I'll help you borrow money to start a business; ”

"Oh"

Sue Yan agreed, don't think nonsense, Jiaming is his boss, he will help him think about things in the future, why are you so hollow?

Wait, wait, wait, wait for nearly half an hour, Zhang Renquan's phone finally called.

"Jiaming, if you put your hukou in Yuanzhou City, it will be at least 12,000 yuan, and if it is cheaper in the suburbs, it will cost 8,000 yuan. ”

Damn, the current urban hukou is really expensive, but it is also really valuable, and the difference in the price of grain alone is a few hundred yuan a year. If he hadn't known that the national grain would be abolished in the future, and that the people who eat the national grain could not divide the mountains and fields, Li Jiaming would have wanted to help the second uncle and second aunt get a quota to eat the national grain.

Li Jiaming scolded a few words secretly and whispered: "Brother Quan, is there any trouble? If there is trouble, I would rather beg my Uncle Wu." ”

"It's okay, the household registration department has indicators every year, as long as the money is handed over. Jiaming, I have also heard about what you said, and I have also heard that there are 20 recruitment indicators in our county. In fact, you just need to tell Mr. Wu, there is no need to spend this unjust money, he opened such a large factory in the county, and it is not a trivial matter to ask for a farmer-to-non-agricultural index and a recruitment index?"

The money is easy to earn, but it is difficult to repay the favor, Li Jiaming smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Okay, I'll call later. ”

After hanging up the phone and dialing again, Dong Hao was happy, knowing that his younger brother didn't want to owe his uncle a favor, he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Li of the hemp spinning factory is responsible for recruitment, I'll make a call to help you ask, you wait a while." ”

Ten or twenty minutes later, Dong Hao's phone call came again, the matter is very simple, as long as it is an urban household registration, people want to recruit two or three thousand workers, it is just a favor. Of course, if it's not an urban hukou, then you have to do it, and it is estimated that it will cost a little.

"Ah Ming, you help your cousin get a town hukou in the township, the next time I come in to play, you just have the hukou book and photos ready, you don't have to worry about other things. ”

Li Jiaming was overjoyed and thanked him, and after hanging up the phone, he called Zhang Renquan again and asked him to help him get Gaoqiao's urban household registration.

"Jiaming, I'll help you find a way to see if it's cheaper. In this way, when you go to the Chongxiang branch tomorrow, don't go so early. ”

"Hey", Li Jiaming agreed and hung up the phone. It is estimated that Zhang Renquan wants to help him find someone, this is a human society, and there are acquaintances and friends who can always get a little cheap.

"Keep your mouth shut, and don't go out and talk nonsense. ”

"Oh", the sue Yan, who was much thicker than Li Jiaming, agreed, and secretly only smacked his tongue. 5,000 yuan, just say it, Jia Ming is really benevolent!

After everything was done, Li Jiaming Shi Ran returned to his uncle's house and went to express his gratitude to his aunt who was feeding J: "Uncle, the matter is done." Sister Hong will take the photos and household registration book with me tomorrow, and Brother Hao will help us do the rest. ”

"So fast?"

"Hehe, in fact, I have said it a long time ago, I am afraid that you will be reluctant to marry Sister Hong, so I haven't said it all the time. ”

"You boy", the happy aunt slapped her nephew on the back of the head, threw down the basin containing the grain and went to the grain flat to report the good news.

"Mingya, it's done?"

My uncle couldn't believe that in just a few minutes, his daughter would be able to eat national grain and become a worker?

'No three generations' is the truth, his eyes swept the eager eyes of his uncle and aunt, Li Jiaming, who didn't want to get into trouble, hurriedly said childishly: "Uncle Mother, Brother Hao just has an indicator in his hand, he is not short of money, and he has no friends in our Tonggu, so he will not be cheap for me?"

"Yes, this niece dog has a conscience!"

The uncle was happy, patted his nephew's head, and asked his daughter to look for a photo.

At the house next door, my cousin, who was playing with the three little guys and talking to the little sisters, came over and listened, and the whole person was stunned, I can eat national food and be a city person?

"Mingming, really?"

Seeing his cousin's excited appearance, Li Jiaming felt happy, as long as his family is good, what is money? Making money and making money, isn't it just to make his family live a better life?

"Is this still fake? Sister Hong, I'll accompany you on a trip tomorrow. The director of Gaoqiao is the Zhang family of Luofang, and I told him about it and asked for a few phone numbers from his classmates in Yuanzhou. In the future, if you go to Yuanzhou, if something happens, there are a few public security officers to help, see which one dares to bully you!"

The shy cousin's face turned red with excitement, and she nodded vigorously, "Hmm!"

As soon as she heard that her cousin and brother were going to a place she hadn't been to before, the little sister and the full sister who were chasing after her immediately hugged Li Jiaming's thigh and coquettishly. This kind of thing, Jin Mei, who is more than eight years old, can't do it, but she is still very eager in her eyes.

"Brother, I'm going. ”

"Fifth brother, I'm going too!"

Li Jiaming glanced at the hair that came to pick up people from afar, and said happily: "Okay, go, go as long as you want to go, now let's go home!"

"Hey"!

The little sister and the full sister who were holding her brother's thigh pounced on her cousin who was almost crying with joy, grabbed her hand and dragged her in the direction of home.

"Sister Honghong, go to our house as a guest, we scored double 100 points in the exam this time, and Mom (Auntie) must have killed J. The chestnut stew is delicious!"

"Well, Mom, then I'll go to my aunt's (father's) house, and I'll be in the car together tomorrow. ”

It's been six or seven years since my sister passed away, hey.

The maternal uncle, who was moved by Li Jiaming's filial piety, rubbed his nephew's head and said with relief: "Yes, you can stay a few more nights and help Aunt Shimei do things." ”

Grandpa and grandma also nodded again and again, the matter of the son-in-law has always been the stone in their hearts, and now that they finally have a good result, everyone is finally relieved. With such a sensible and conscientious nephew, the daughter should also be happy in the spirit of heaven.

"Hey", in fact, the cousin, who is not yet nineteen years old, happily agreed, and took the three little ones back to the room to pack up their things, and there was laughter in the small sunning flat.
