009 Proposal
Li Aobai got up early the next morning, came to the hall before Li Dabiaozi and his family went out, and said to Li Dabiaozi: "Dad, Mom, let me tell you something, I want to marry Zhang Laoshi's granddaughter, you find someone to come to the door to propose, and I will buy four kinds of proposing gifts in a while." ”
Shen Cuihua was taken aback: "What, Gua Wa, that family is difficult to deal with, love money like life, that woman is not worthy of you, I don't agree!" ”
Li Aobai expected to say this: "I have to marry Zhang Xiaoqiang!" Li Dabiao was stunned, this son has always been what he says since he was a child.
"Baby, you should also order a daughter-in-law, the Nalan woman next door is good-looking, and the person is not bad, I have no objection to you and her!" Shen Cuihua still insisted.
Li Aobai doesn't like this mother in his heart, not to mention the five big and three coarse, and has a very bad reputation in the village.
"I repeat again, I must marry Zhang Xiaoqiang!" Li Aobai's firmness made Li Xianglan only listen.
Li Aobai was well aware of his family's weaknesses, and he said: "If you don't agree, you won't be sent a cent of the allowance from the army in the future, and you can do it yourself!" ”
When these two people heard this, Li Dabiao hurriedly said: "I'll go to his fifth aunt in a while and mention this matter to the baby!" ”
Li Aobai turned around and went out, he was going to buy the four kinds of marriage (marriage gifts), cigarettes, wine, snacks, and meat. Got on the bike and walked out.
Ou Lanlan didn't sleep all night, and wandered around the yard early in the morning, thinking about countermeasures. Hearing the sound in Li Aobai's courtyard, he hurried out of the house, and it just so happened that he ran into it again.
This is not so much review, the eyebrows are burned! "Li Aobai, you can't marry Zhang Xiaoqiang, I like you, we are a natural pair!" Ou Lanlan finally put down his arrogant face and confessed.
In the past few days when Li Aobai came back, he found that Ou Lanlan had followed him, and he didn't pay much attention to it, when he heard this today, he thought that he had to make it clear to Ou Lanlan: "I can't follow you, I have to marry Zhang Xiaoqiang!" With that, he stepped on his bike and left.
The gifts were ready, and the fifth aunt came to Zhang Laoshi's house with her things.
Zhou Congxiang saw the fifth aunt enter the door, she was more discerning, and knew that the fifth aunt could not be offended casually, because the marriage between Zhang Yongxin and Zhang Yongan had not yet been settled.
"Yo, his fifth aunt, please come into the house and sit, I said I was looking for you in the past few days, you see that you will come to the door today!"
The fifth aunt entered the house and sat on the kang with Zhou Congxiang, the fifth aunt said: "Today's door is Li Dabiao who asked me to mention his son and our woman's affairs, you look at the people, the etiquette is ready, just wait for you to nod!" ”
Zhou Congxiang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that when Zhou Hongzhen mentioned that Cheng Gencai's matter was about to be completed, he killed Li Aobai again, of course, the son of Li Dabiao's family must be much stronger than Cheng Gencai, but is his family willing to pay 3,000 yuan for the bride price?
"Well, this matter, I don't count if I say it alone, I have to discuss it with this big family!" Zhou Congxiang said.
As soon as the fifth aunt heard this, she immediately said: "Cut, who doesn't know that this family has always been his aunt, you have the final say, what is there to discuss!" I heard that you asked someone to introduce a dead wife to the baby, and she is still old, isn't this pushing the baby into the fire pit! ”
Zhou Congxiang was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Who did you listen to, such a person who chews the root of his tongue." What's the big deal, I'm only forty years old, and I know that it hurts when I'm older! Zhang Xiaoqiang has been paying attention to the movements in the house since she called the fifth aunt to enter the door, and she is quietly eavesdropping on the conversation in the house.
The fifth aunt was entrusted by others, and after the matter was completed, there were certain benefits, and she has been pointing to this line of food all these years. "You see, Li Dabiao's son eats national food, and in the future, the Qiang woman will enjoy happiness, can he forget you?" The fifth aunt speaks a set of official words of the matchmaker.
Zhou Congxiang didn't want to offend the fifth aunt, and she didn't want to marry Li Dabiao. She thought that Li Dabiao's family would definitely not be able to come up with 3,000 bride price, and Shen Cuihua was also a person who loved money like life. She said: "That's it, her fifth aunt, help you pass a message to Li Dabiao, the bride price is three thousand, no one can be less, if you agree, you can set a date!" ”
When the fifth aunt heard this, she almost became anxious: "Aunt He, you didn't inquire, you said such a matchmaker, how can there be such a high bride price, you are the emperor's woman!" Xiaoqiang, who was eavesdropping outside the window, was in a hurry, Mrs. Zhou deliberately didn't want to make it happen, what could I do?
Zhou Congxiang's face was resolute, and the fifth aunt saw this posture, got off the kang, put on her shoes and said, "If you don't want to, forget it, why bother?" The baby is such a good family business, and it was ruined by you! ”
After speaking, he brought up the four salutes when he came up, and prepared to leave. Zhou Congxiang also wanted to mention the matter of the Xin woman, but today she saw that the fifth aunt was unhappy, so she hurriedly said: "What's the hurry, I'll cook for us and go on the road, and then leave!" ”
"What are you eating, don't eat it, Li Dabiaozi's family is still waiting for me to reply, his son can't stay at home for a few days, he's about to go back to the army, and he will be a big official when he goes back!" The fifth aunt went out with her things.
As soon as I went out and saw Zhang Xiaoqiang standing outside the window, the fifth aunt said: "This Qiang woman is really a woman who has changed eighteen times, and now she is getting better and better-looking, it's a pity."
Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Auntie, I'll send you!" Under the gaze of Zhou Congxiang's triangular eyes, she took the fifth aunt's hand and said, "Auntie, I am willing to do this, except for Li Aobai, I will not marry anyone!" ”
Zhou Congxiang began to shout in the courtyard: "Lady Qiang, come back and cook!" "This damn old woman is worried about what Xiaoqiang and the fifth aunt will say.
The fifth aunt looked at Xiaoqiang and said, "Baby, your milk is not easy to deal with, you should go back quickly!" ”
When Zhang Xiaoqiang returned home, Zhou Congxiang hurriedly came up and said: "Don't believe the words of a matchmaker, that person eats by mouth!" Tomorrow, your Aunt Zhou will come, and the Zhou family will have a certain day! ”
"I want to marry you, I won't marry!" Zhang Xiaoqiang snapped and closed the door, and in the courtyard, Mrs. Zhou scolded the heavens and the earth again.
The fifth aunt came to Li's house with things, and Shen Cuihua was very happy when she saw this style: "I knew that things couldn't be done, why bother, she wants to marry into my family, so I don't want her!" ”
The fifth aunt said: "Zhang's honest granddaughter is not bad, but Mrs. Zhou is in charge, and she asks for 3,000 dowries."
Shen Cuihua jumped up anxiously when she heard this: "What, is she the Seven Fairies?" It's a big deal, three thousand, I don't want her for three cents, there are a lot of good women! ”
Li Dabiaozi was just smoking a cigarette, and Li Aobai tightened his eyebrows.
Li Dabiao's mother, this old man who has not talked much, is kind and kind-eyed, and she finally said: "Hey, don't say too ugly, it's not easy for people to raise a woman, I've seen that Qiang woman a few times, the baby is like her mother, and she looks quite delicate, it's this, see if you can discuss it again, three thousand is too much!" ”
The croppers rely on the sky to eat, although Li Dabiao has made some money by reselling some things over the years, but he can't take them all out to marry his daughter-in-law!
