"There are two or three days to go before the New Year, so don't be busy with Big Brother Guan and Big Brother Gao," Chen Yuan said, "You take out two thousand yuan from the fund and divide one cent, which is considered the year-end bonus that my boss gives to the company's employees." ”

Guan Hu grinned and said, "Then we're welcome!" ”

"Well, what's the matter next year, I wish the two big brothers a good year!" Chen Yuan smiled.

Guan Hu over there hesitated for a long time, as if there was something unspeakable. Then, he gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Chen Yuan, I'll give you a bottom!" These days, I have been studying the script and I am very impressed by the ingenuity of the script! Admire your talent even more! It's so good for you to hand over such a good script to me to shoot...... Alas, I'm afraid that the things I shoot won't meet your requirements! ”

"Big brother?" Chen Yuan's heart sank, and he couldn't figure out Guan Hu's thoughts.

"I really want to shoot this script, but I don't have the ability to ......," Guan Hu added.

"During this time, has Brother Guan communicated with Brother Ning Hao?" Chen Yuan asked.

"It's been communicated," Guan Hu said in a low voice, "Although Ning Hao is still young, he is a young man with a lot of ideas. During this time, we talked a lot about the script. To be honest, even if the two of us are combined, we may not be able to make it! ”

Chen Yuan frowned and said to himself, "Then what should I do? ”

There was silence on both ends of the phone.

Guan Hu is a real person, and he has a clear understanding of his abilities. Chen Yuan has high hopes for him, and he makes his own decisions about many things, that is, the key issue of actor selection, Chen Yuan only provides a reference opinion. Chen Yuan trusted him so much, he felt that he couldn't hide it from the other party!

"Or else," Chen Yuan proposed, "I'll take a simple script and give you a practice first?" ”

After Guan Hu heard this, he was ashamed in his heart, and he said, "This is not very good, right? Originally, it only took more than one million yuan to make a film. Now if you want to get a script to practice, I'm afraid that two million may not be possible! Investment has increased, but the box office may not necessarily grow. This is definitely a losing deal for investors! ”

"That's it," Chen Yuan decided, "After the New Year, let's shoot a scene to practice our hands, and when you feel that it's almost over, we will shoot this "Crazy Stone" again!" ”

Chen Yuan hung up the phone, and on the other end of the phone, Guan Hu was speechless.

Gao Hu next to him asked a little anxiously, "Supervisor, how is it?" What did Chen Yuan say just now? ”

"He asked us to go home for the New Year, and the movie will be talked about next year!" Guan Hu said.

"Gone?" Gao Hu said strangely, "No, if it's just like this, why do you have such an expression?" ”

Guan Hu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but swallowed what he wanted to say. Finally, he sighed and said, "Chen Yuan gave us a bonus of 1,000 yuan each!" ”

"Huh? And the bonus? Gao Hu was a little stunned, "He gave a lot of money for my mother's treatment, and now he has a bonus of 1,000 yuan, how can I be embarrassed to take it?" ”

"You don't take it? What don't you take for the New Year? Guan Hu choked him!

Chen Yuan hung up Guan Hu's phone, and Su Muying's phone called. She complained for a while, and after calling several times, she prompted that the line was busy, and then said in a voice that seemed to be happy and resentful: "My dad agreed!" ”

Agreed? Although Chen Yuan had expected it in his heart, he was still a little excited when he really heard the news!

In the evening, the people of the old Chen family sat together again.

Since Su Muying's family has agreed to the engagement, it is time to discuss the issue of bride price.

The bride price can't be too light, too light will make people think that the old Chen family looks down on people. It can't be too heavy, too heavy will make people think that the old Chen family is deliberately showing off and oppressing people with power.

The symbolic meaning of the bride price in this year is greater than the practical significance. Unlike more than ten or twenty years later, the bride price of rural families will be more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. Although there are reasons for the depreciation of the RMB, it has become the biggest problem in a lifetime for rural people to get married and marry their daughters-in-law!

Young people who can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law abound!

Chen Yuan listened to the side and did not participate in the discussion. In his opinion, there is no need to participate in this kind of thing. The bride price is just a formality, no matter how much it is, it does not represent anything.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Chen Qingjiang and Chen Qingshui drove an extended version of the van and entered Guanzhuang Village! The road in Guanzhuang Village is uneven and staggering to walk on. This huge movement immediately attracted the attention of the villagers! This is completely inconsistent with the low-key work that the brothers discussed in advance.

The extended version of the van was parked in front of the Soviet army's house. Hearing the sound of a car, everyone in the house walked out. Su Jun, Liu Ping, and Su Muying's second uncle Su Wu, aunts, cousins and aunts, and a large group of people in Ulaula.

After a pleasantry, Chen Qingshui opened the car door. The bride price that had been prepared for a long time was suddenly presented in front of everyone.

It's only wine? The people of the Su family were all stunned. Su Wu was the first to react and beckoned, "Move quickly!" ”

Boxes of Luzhou Laojiao were moved, and if you count, there are 18 boxes! Those who know the goods know that this 52° Luzhou Laojiao costs 148 bottles, a box of six bottles of 888, and 18 boxes is 10,006!

"Where did Muying get married? Is it popular to deliver alcohol over there? Su Muying's cousin was surprised.

"Maybe, let's go in and have a look!" Su Wu pulled the other party into the house.

The houses of the Soviet army were too small to accommodate so many people. A large group of people remained at least half outside. The movements inside were very fast, and in less than fifteen minutes, the Chen Qingjiang brothers walked out. After the two were sent away, the people outside crowded into the house. Everyone wants to know how much the other party has given as a bride price!

Liu Ping gave Su Jun a look, and Su Jun understood what she meant. But the house is full of his own family, and there is nothing to hide. Liu Ping was helpless and opened the red envelope. I counted them, and there were exactly one hundred hundred-dollar bills, and there were one by one. 10,000 is the meaning of one out of a thousand.

"Huh!" Someone exclaimed, "That's a lot of money." The bride price when my daughter got engaged was only 3,000 yuan, and Muying, this girl, found a good family! ”

"There are so many bride prices for engagement, and there must be more when you get married! What's the origin? ”

"What are they sending so many Luzhou Laojiao for? 148Who can drink a bottle of wine? ”

Su Jun and Liu Ping knew the reason why the other party sent these wines, although the two families got married, but when they got married, there would be at least four or five years! These are the wines they use to entertain their relatives and friends four or five years later!

"The Chen family is thoughtful," as soon as the others left, Su Jun couldn't help but say.

"What's so thoughtful?" Liu Ping was still a little dissatisfied, "It stands to reason that our marriage is also going to set up a banquet." Lao Chen's family sent a bride price, but did not prepare a banquet. What do they mean? What should the people in the village say? ”

Su Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Let's all say that we should be low-key, isn't it good to look like this?" ”

On the 28th day of the lunar calendar in 1999, there was only one day left before Chinese New Year's Eve. On this day, the marriage of Chen Yuan and Su Muying was contracted by the old Chen family and the Su family. Although this engagement was carried out in a hurry and unreasonable, it was the best result for Chen Yuan and Su Muying, a young couple.

After this incident, Liu Ping no longer obstructs the things between the two. But the problem that worries her still exists, can her daughter really get together with Chen Yuan? Liu Ping's thoughts in her heart were not very firm.

After the twenty-eighth of the lunar month, it is the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, which is the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, the men of the Chen family got up early. Today's breakfast was made by the men of the Chen family, which is a tradition. Chen Qingjiang rarely cooked, fried a dish, stir-fried meat with cabbage and tofu! This is for tribute.

Chen Yuan followed the second uncle to the river dam, facing the direction of the ancestral tomb of the old Chen family, inserting incense, kowtowing, setting off firecrackers, and inviting the ancestors of the old Chen family to go home for the New Year. After inviting the ancestors, until dark, there was nothing to do.

Chen Yuan called Su Muying, knowing that the other party was bored staying at home, so he took the second uncle to pick her up with a big bread. This was an inopportune matter. But he couldn't stand Su Muying's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and Su Jun couldn't resist it, so he nodded and agreed, but the premise was that he must go home before dark!

Even so, Su Muying was full of joy.

She came to Chenjia Village, went to the house with Chen Yuan, and muttered non-stop.

Now that the relationship between the two has been confirmed, Su Muying completely opened her heart to Chen Yuan, what should be said and what should not be said, but regardless of it, she poured out all her brains.

At this time, Su Muying was really innocent. Chen Yuan thought silently, if it wasn't for rebirth, then how could he enjoy the beauty of her girlhood?

The two lay on the bed and whispered for a while. Su Muying asked her about the question she was particularly concerned about: "How are you preparing for the movie next year?" ”

"This is the first time to make a movie, and there will definitely be all kinds of problems, whether it is the director, the actors, or other staff, there is a lack of training, and it is very difficult to make a mature work."

Speaking of this, Chen Yuan noticed Su Muying's face, he smiled faintly, and continued confidently: "Don't worry too much. We will find ways to overcome any problem. Muying, this is your screen debut, although it is only a small role, but this is your first step into the film industry! I will prepare everything for you until you take the crown of the world's actress! ”

"Really?" Su Muying muttered.

"Naturally it's true," Chen Yuan said with a smile, "There is another sentence that must be said, since we are already engaged, you are a member of the old Chen family!" ”

People from the old Chen family? Su Muying's small heart was suddenly filled with something called happiness. She doesn't know what the future holds, but with Chen Yuan, a genius boy by her side, she will definitely be happy and happy!
