Chapter 157: Dowry
At the end of July, Zhang Cuilian had no intention of leaving for Suiyuan. This time, it was An Rong's turn to get anxious, and came to the Xie family over and over again to urge her.
"Hey, you said that Xiaoqiu's grades are going to come down in the next two days. According to my meaning, if Xiaoqiu is admitted to school. Then I raised my eyebrows and invited my relatives and friends over for a meal. By the way, tell the big guy, my son is also married to a daughter-in-law. Just wait for the Chinese New Year, and then make up the wedding banquet. Dong Lihua heard the meaning of the words, this is to say let Zhang Cuilian leave as soon as possible.
"I can't catch up with Bayi, so I can't go again at Eleven, right?" An Rong looked at Dong Lihua's unhurried appearance, and his heart was annoyed.
"Everything was mailed, and two said they were lamps brought back from abroad. When I arrived at Cuilian, I went, if I had been earlier, I was afraid that I wouldn't have been able to wait for Xiaoqiu. Zhang Cuilian also said that she didn't want to go out with An Rong again. The matter of sending Gu Zhiqiu to college is still up to their families.
"What kind of desk lamp, do you have to buy it from abroad? How much does that cost! An Rong looked reluctant, and the disdain in his eyes was undisguised.
"It's not a purchase, it's her classmates. She has a classmate who is studying abroad, and the two of them are very good. I heard that Cuilian was married, and said that I had to send her something as a souvenir. Cuilian said, you can give me a set of floor lamps. Dong Lihua lowered her head to do needlework, no matter what An Rong said, she was not in a hurry.
"I also need a floor lamp, so there are no good things abroad." Why not? It's really something that can't be put on the table. An Rong was quick for a while and said something unpleasant.
Dong Lihua raised her head at this time, her face full of anger: "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about?" You are still a person with status, and you are still a person who has seen the world. How do you spit this out of your mouth? What do you mean? You're going to war, huh? Don't you look down on our daughter? ”
An Rong knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly got up and apologized: "No, no, I didn't mean that." ”
"What does that mean? I heard you so well, what are you doing here? Dong Lihua was furious, and An Rong kicked his nose and face several times. In order to let the little couple and He Meimei never spread nonsense, An Rong is really too much today.
"Oh, I'm not in a hurry. Are you anxious for my son? You said that it has been so long since you graduated, and you can't get over it. Your family doesn't give an explanation, and you won't let me ask? An Rong's eyes dodged, and he didn't have the confidence to say it.
"Then my daughter Bai is staying at home? Don't have anything to prepare? In the broken place of Suiyuan, the birds don't and there is nothing. My daughter mails a TV today, and a refrigerator tomorrow. Isn't that a thing? This uncle still hasn't done his job properly, and he still relies on our ink. I don't like ink, your family goes to buy furniture, and your family goes to buy appliances. You are an old woman, but you can mail two quilts to your children! ”
Although Dong Lihua doesn't often quarrel with others, her voice is also naturally bright. One voice is higher than another, and the more you talk, the more confident you are. Originally, An Rong said the wrong thing, but this time Dong Lihua pressed forward step by step. made her face more and more unsightly, blue and white.
"Oh, look at you. It's in a hurry. You don't know who I am. I saw that you made eight quilts, and I didn't say to mail them over because they didn't need them. I also made eight beds, and this is not left on the head of the house. If you don't believe it, go check it out now, their new house has been empty. The house has given me a new look, and Cuilian can go home whenever she wants. ”
An Rong said curtly, secretly hating that he didn't pay attention to what he said. Dong Lihua didn't say much, for fear that the two of them would quarrel if they continued to talk about it.
No one told Zhang Cuilian about this, and she was waiting at the train station for the wedding gift sent by Ding Ke from Guangdong.
heard that Zhang Cuilian was getting married, and her friends congratulated her. College classmates Zhang Wei, Li Man, Gao Bin, Wang Doudou and others all came to sit at home for a while while they were in the city. knew that Zhang Cuilian didn't know that she could hold a banquet in the Year of the Monkey, and she wanted to give the gift money first, but Zhang Cuilian resigned.
She meant that she didn't want money, she wanted a souvenir. She can take it with her, and she will have a thought for the future. Everyone has been together for a few years, and they have a very deep relationship, and they know that Zhang Cuilian is not hypocritical, but from the heart.
The friends are also very sincere, and everyone bought a set of tea sets for Zhang Cuilian. Zhang Cuilian accepted it with a smile, packed it in a foam box, and prepared to send it to Gu Zhicheng by train with her books.
As for Ding Rongrong, Ding Ke and Fu Xin, Zhang Cuilian is not welcome. Name and ask for something you want to buy but can't buy or can't buy.
Ding Rongrong brought her a set of floor lamps and table lamps, and also gave her a set of candlestick-style lamps that could be inlaid on the wall and a set of garden lamps. The good-looking style made Zhang Cuilian love it, and wrapped it layer by layer. This time, I didn't dare to use the train to check it in, so I decided to carry it myself.
She and Ding Ke asked for a set of tableware, and they just wanted a full set of styles to look good. Ding Ke is elegant, and he can especially understand a little girl who has just entered marriage for firewood, rice, oil and salt. She was selective in Guangzhou, and finally valued a set of 60-head Chinese tableware made in Jingdezhen bone china enamel. The golden yellow icing on the cake is especially like the kind used by the royal family in the court.
The price was really high, but she still stomped her foot and bought this set. She wrapped each bowl in a thick layer of newspaper, separated by a foam board in the middle, and packed in a foam box on the outside. Finally, it was packed in a wooden box and then wrapped and wrapped with duct tape. Each side was written with care, and the cautious look made her husband shake his head when he saw it.
The plate was sent directly to Gu Zhicheng, and Gu Zhicheng went out to pick up things at two ends in three days. Now all the people in the family home know that his newlywed little daughter-in-law is coming.
It is rumored that Zhang Cuilian is a powerful and squeamish person, and she tosses the man before she arrives.
The pressurized water well in front of Ding Mei's yard fetched water, and saw Gu Zhicheng driving back in a public car. The two fighters removed a large box from the car, on which was also written to handle with care.
She couldn't help but follow into the Gu family, wanting to see what kind of rare treasure this was. "Battalion Commander Gu has something new again? What kind of expensive thing are you? ”
Gu Zhicheng turned around and saw Instructor Zhou's family standing in the corridor of their house, looking in with wide eyes. Without waiting for Gu Zhicheng to speak, Ding Mei began to sigh: "Oh, it's really exquisite." Battalion Commander Gu, you are too particular, I don't dare to clean up your house. ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the bathroom: "Oops, your family has opened the house." What's going on? She reached out and pulled the shower curtain open, and saw the cistern and shower head hanging on the wall. Puzzled, he asked, "Do you want to take a bath at home?" How do you wash this? Don't have a water pipe? ”
Gu Zhicheng was displeased, and said patiently: "Just mix some warm water and put it in, it's okay!" If your sister-in-law likes it, you can let Instructor Zhou do the same. ”
Ding Mei sneered, walked out of the bathroom and said to Gu Zhicheng: "What sister-in-law, our family is younger than you." Just call me brother and sister! ”
Gu Zhicheng let out a sound in his nose: "Hmm" and then said to the two little soldiers: "Okay, let's go." Then he lowered his head and looked at Ding Mei: "Brother and sister, I still have something to do." ”
Ding Mei looked at Gu Zhicheng with a smile and nodded: "Let's go, I have to work too." ”
Walking in the courtyard of the Gu family, Ding Mei took a look. I found that there were also two cherry trees in their yard, and they were blooming luxuriantly. On the other side, the ground was cleaned up, and there was not even a single piece of grass. I wondered in my heart that this Gu battalion chief doesn't grow vegetables, what will the bride eat when she comes?
Out of the yard, Ding Mei saw Gu Zhicheng's car leaving, so she hurriedly ran to the westernmost house to talk.
Gu Zhicheng returned to the office and called Zhang Cuilian's home. told her that the luggage from Guangzhou had arrived, and by the way, asked Zhang Cuilian what it was. Zhang Cuilian told her that it was a set of cutlery, but Gu Zhicheng frowned and didn't ask any more.
Fu Xin gave Zhang Cuilian a receipt for a book ticket, and let Zhang Cuilian pick up the specific books she wanted to buy. Zhang Cuilian gladly accepted and picked out a large box of books she wanted to read in the bookstore.
After buying a ticket and booking a departure day, Xie Jun invited Gu Dehai's family to come over for dinner. The next day, Gu Dehai, An Rong, Gu Zhiqiu, Xie Jun and Dong Lihua sent Zhang Cuilian on the train together.
Watching the train go away, An Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's just curious, how Zhang Cuilian went out and her mother didn't send it if she found out.
got in the car here, and Xie Jun called Gu Zhicheng on the other end: "Well, get in the car." When you go to pick her up, remember to take two of them. She's shipping a lot of things, and you two can't move it. ”
Gu Zhicheng was happy in his heart, and he finally gave his daughter-in-law to him. What can you do if there are many things, it can only mean that the daughter-in-law wants to set up camp here with him.
Zhang Cuilian arrived at the family home, which can be regarded as an extremely sensational. Not only did the neighbors who lived on this side of the compound come out to see the excitement, but even the family members on the other side also ran over.
Looking at the boxes unloaded from the car, they were all amazed. Ding Mei relied on her acquaintance with Zhang Cuilian, and ran over to talk as if she was familiar.
"Oops, sister-in-law. You're here, and you want to kill me. She held Zhang Cuilian's hand and made love.
Zhang Cuilian stood next to the car and watched the little soldiers go in and out, shushing and asking from time to time, for fear that they would be tired and have a bad impact on Gu Zhicheng.
"Sister-in-law, why do you say you have so many things? What is this? I take care of the battalion commander who goes to the station every day to pick up things, why do you say your house is so wide! Ding Mei looked at the hot eyes and couldn't help but sound.
"Where are you?" Zhang Cuilian chuckled: "The two of us just got married, didn't I move our family over?" My bridal quilt is only eight beds, and the pots and pans are not very bits and pieces. ”
Hearing Zhang Cuilian being so modest, Ding Mei made a fuss: "Huh? The quilts at home have been brought over, and the new house will be empty? ”
Zhang Cuilian sighed and pretended to be a little disappointed: "How can there be any new house." We live with our in-laws, and the place is not big, and we can't put things down. Sure enough, seeing Ding Mei's expression was much happier, she said a few words in passing: "It's not like you live in a bungalow, the place is big and the house is so spacious." This father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and the two of us can collide together when we turn around. Why don't we move over, clean! ”
