Chapter 170: The Cheng family's dowry list
"Dad, it's something about me and Wanyi." Lu Jiangchuan said very simply.
"What's wrong with you and that girl?" Lu Zhongfu asked puzzledly, and suddenly worried, "There won't be any changes!" ”
"Dad, you are my idol, I adore you very much, and you have always been my learning goal." Lu Jiangchuan looked at him and said very seriously.
To be honest, it doesn't feel like an ordinary beauty to be looked up to by my son so much! "Don't put a high hat on me, stun me, what the hell do you want to say?" Lu Zhongfu looked at him and said, why is this kid doing this, but it makes him curious.
"Dad, I love Wanyi." Lu Jiangchuan said.
"Hiss......" Lu Zhongfu's old teeth were sour, he really couldn't get used to the young man who talked about it, "Why am I blocking you, or hindering the two of you." ”
"No, Dad, because I love Wanyi, I am willing to let her grow up." Lu Jiangchuan said thoughtlessly.
"They're all twenty-eight years old, and they're all older." Lu Zhongfu picked up the upside-down teacup and poured himself a cup of cold white.
"Huh...... Dad didn't mean that, I wanted her to continue studying. Lu Jiangchuan met the old man's eyes and said, "She is an excellent child, and it is really a big loss for society to tie such a child to her family!" ”
"Why do you say this all of a sudden! It's not all said and done. Lu Zhongfu raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.
Lu Jiangchuan suddenly got up, looked around, removed the rattan chair behind him, knelt in front of him and said, "Dad, I sincerely beg you, Wanyi even if she is studying." I will be able to be your daughter-in-law, my wife and the mother of your children. Trust her, she's not your average child. She's smart and strong. She will succeed. Then he said, "Dad, you agreed!" ”
"Get up! What does it look like for a big man to kneel. Lu Zhongfu kicked his leg and said.
"You promised?" Lu Jiangchuan stood up happily.
"What do you want your wife to become?" Lu Zhongfu asked.
"It's not for me, it's for Wanyi." Lu Jiangchuan said.
"Woman! Jumping and shouting about the equality of men and women every day, why don't they grow beards like men! Lu Zhongfu said casually.
"Dad, I just want you to make a promise to let Wanyi continue to study after she gives birth to her first grandson after marriage. You don't have to worry. Wanyi also wrote a letter of guarantee, promising to obey me for the rest of her life. Lu Jiangchuan said, the subtext, you don't need to write a guarantee. It's just a verbal promise.
When Lu Zhongfu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "He deserves to be my good son." And then he said. For your sake. I agreed. ”
"Thank you, Dad, thank you!" Lu Jiangchuan said happily.
"But if you let her study, why don't you keep letting her study! There are so many things in the middle, so that your mother-in-law can see that your nose is not a nose, and your eyes are not eyes. Lu Zhongfu raised the question in his heart and said, "This is not like what your kid did. ”
"Dad, that's not the case, Wanyi's kid. I had to press her hard, except for arrogance. squeamish, domineering, vain, after becoming a good person, she can let go of the tight spell on her head, and it will not work all of a sudden, no. Lu Jiangchuan waved his hand.
"You kid so prescient! This reading is just different, thinking more. Lu Zhongfu shook his head and smiled.
"Huh...... Isn't this for the sake of family harmony in the future? Lu Jiangchuan scratched his head and said with a smile, and said solemnly, "Dad, this is a special secret, God knows, you know and I know, I can't let others know anymore." If it leaks, it's bad. ”
"Am I a big mouth? You'd better keep your mouth shut! Don't drink two glasses, just shout out. Lu Zhongfu poked him and said. Once my mouth is closed, I can't pry it open. ”
"Haha...... Let's go down! Lu Jiangchuan said with a smile.
Lu Zhongfu took two steps and paused, "Wait, boy, your wife is studying, who will pay for this tuition!" ”
Lu Jiangchuan was stunned for a moment, and then stumbled and said, "Uh...... I pay for tuition, I pay it. ”
"You kid is saddled with two debts at once, do you have the ability?" Lu Zhongfu said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm willing." Lu Jiangchuan said stupidly, "Yes, my sister's garment factory is doing well!" I'll be turning over and being the master soon. ”
"You kid." Lu Zhongfu thought for a while and said, "Get married, let your wife introduce more customers, tsk...... That one piece of clothing sells for tens of thousands of dollars, what a man-eating tiger! Lu Zhongfu shook his head and said, "It's really incomprehensible, incomprehensible, just that rag strip." ”
"Yes." Lu Jiangchuan nodded.
The father and son got off the rooftop one after the other, and Lucifer came out of the shadows, rubbing his chin, and the guarantee, well! Not a bad idea. As for who writes to whom, does it need to be said!
But Uncle Lu is really like what they say, a paper tiger......
&*&
Because the wedding date is just around the corner, the two mothers-in-law often meet, and Cheng's mother also lists a dowry.
From household appliances, refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, a stream of European goods, to pots and pans, cutlery, gas stoves, toasters, coffee makers, paper baskets, laundry baskets, mops, and other daily necessities, even the rope to tie newspapers are prepared.
When Jiang Huifen looked at the list full of lists, her eyes straightened, "I said my mother-in-law, you plan to buy these as dowries." I don't want to hear people say that I got a lot out of marrying my daughter-in-law. ”
"No, these are all hand-made things by children, and they are normally needed. It looks like a lot, but it doesn't add up to a lot of money. Except for those three major pieces. Cheng's mother took a sip of coffee and said, "Even if I don't buy it, don't the two children have to buy it?" It's better to buy them all at once. ”
But I know in my heart that my daughter doesn't give birth, so how much does the river boat cost! How can that little money be well spent! Her daughter is high-eyed and picky!
"You do this, you don't know my kid's father?" Jiang Huifen hesitated.
"What's the matter, my mother pushed it on me." Cheng's mother has a big bag.
"But that's embarrassing." Jiang Huifen smiled and said, "I'll go back and talk about it!" ”
"That's good!" Cheng Mu nodded.
"As for the gifts, our family only has the immediate family members of the river boat, there are no others, and we don't need so much." Jiang Huifen looked at the list of gifts and said, "You really don't have to spend so much, Wanyi married into our family, we have to buy these pots and pans, and this kitchen utensils are also our business." ”
"Then I don't mean marrying off my daughter naked." Cheng's mother felt incredible, "I took too much care of us all of a sudden, this is uneasy!" ”
"Don't overthink it, I didn't mean to show you." Jiang Huifen raised her eyes and looked at her and said.
"Are our family beggars? will be looked down upon. "Cheng's mother doesn't follow the way.
Jiang Huifen chuckled, "Why care about other people's eyes!" ”
"Am I a mother, parents! There should be parents' ideas and responsibilities, and we are not incapable, who doesn't want to do their best to give their daughter something more! Cheng's mother said unhappily, "You think if you don't let you do it, we will be happy!" ”
"Gotcha! You want to send it! Jiang Huifen agreed, it's a big deal to give more when giving the dowry, "Just don't go too far, it can only be less than what is on the list, not more, otherwise the house can't fit small." There is no need for a car, there is a car for the riverboat. ”
"But I heard that the car belongs to his second brother." Cheng's mother tried her best to calm her tone, so as not to irritate her.
"Yes, there are only two parking spaces at home, and I can't put them in if I buy them." Jiang Huifen shook her head and said, "It's good that the transportation is enough, and it can't be too wasteful." ”
"Understood." Cheng Mu nodded.

After separating from her mother-in-law, Cheng's mother returned home, and during dinner, Cheng's father sat at the dining table and asked, "Time is so tight, can you prepare everything?" ”
"Prepare, don't prepare anything." Cheng Mu pulled out a chair and sat on his left hand side and said.
"Why?" Father Cheng asked puzzled.
"The eldest sister is looking for Aunt Lu is a strange person, saying that the rich dowry is a sign of a ruined family, and you don't need to bring anything, as long as you go over." Cheng Wanting took the plate and put it on the table.
"Don't you want to do anything?" Father Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
"In fact, there is no place to put it, just the 500-square-foot house, what can be put down?" Cheng Mu was just stating a fact, without any emotion.
But when these words came to her mouth, no matter how they sounded, they were mocking.
"The house is small, please clean it conveniently, like our house inside and out, it is estimated that we will bend over and work for a day, tired to death, how troublesome!" Cheng Wanting said with a smile.
Mother Cheng was angry when she heard this, turned around and looked at her and said, "Yes, dead girl, you will find one like this in the future." ”
"Oops! Mom, I said the wrong thing, you don't remember the villain. Cheng Wanting said coquettishly, "I'll invite grandpa and grandma out for dinner." ”
"I said, "My dear, let's prepare the dowry according to the list we agreed on yesterday." Father Cheng took advantage of the fact that his parents hadn't come yet! Hurriedly asked.
"Yes! I deleted two major items, one is that there are not many relatives in the Jiangchuan family, and there are not too many gifts to prepare. The second is a car, there is no place to put it. Cheng Mu paused and continued, "I finally saved the three major pieces, otherwise I would have deleted this one." What a strange family. ”
"That's good! Marriage is our own business, as long as the children and in-laws are satisfied, we don't care about outsiders muttering behind our backs. Cheng's father shook Cheng's mother's hand and said, "If you care too much about other people's eyes, you will be too tired." ”
"Hmm!" Cheng's mother nodded her head, what else can she do, she has no hope for the bride price of the Jiangchuan family, and the girl will marry if she wants!
"That's right, Dad! The children's wedding dowry is small, and there is still a lot of budget left, so I plan to save it in the bank separately and give it to her when she gets married, which can be regarded as private money! If you marry into such a family, it's good to have money to live with. ”
Father Cheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”
Wait for grandpa, grandma, and aunt to come out together, and after sitting down, everyone eats. Also ended the conversation. (To be continued......)
