Besides, after Vice Mayor Wang broke up with the little nanny, he took steady steps and returned to the third floor step by step.

After going up to the third floor, Vice Mayor Wang did not immediately go back to the bedroom, but came to his study.

After entering the study, Vice Mayor Wang habitually stood in front of the banners of "Watching the Tao by the Railing" and "Reviewing the Past and Knowing the New" written by Chairman Liu of the Provincial Calligraphers Association, ready to calm down and enjoy it, and at the same time wanted to adjust the mentality of the conversation with Lingzi just now.

"Ouch, Lao Wang, you've been down for so long, how did you talk to Reiko? I didn't go into the room when I came up, but I ran to the study again! ”

Just when Vice Mayor Wang was admiring Liu Lao's Mobao, the mayor's wife ran over from the bedroom of the two of them.

It turned out that when Vice Mayor Wang went downstairs to talk to the little nanny, the mayor's wife had been waiting for Vice Mayor Wang in the bedroom on the third floor restlessly because she was worried and looking forward to the outcome of the conversation.

"Oh, okay, it's over."

Vice Mayor Wang smiled at his wife in understanding, and then reluctantly glanced at Liu Lao's calligraphy, and then entered the bedroom with his wife.

"Lao Wang, you have been talking with Reiko for so long, has Reiko's thinking worked?"

After entering the bedroom, the mayor's wife couldn't wait to ask.

"It should be fine."

Vice Mayor Wang smiled and nodded at his wife.

He took off his coat unhurriedly, sat down on the chair next to the bed, and unhurriedly gave his wife a brief introduction to the conversation he had just had with the little nanny and the effect of the conversation.

"Well, hearing you say that, my heart is relieved. It seems that our old Wang family can't do without you as a 'political commissar' at any time! ”

After listening to Vice Mayor Wang's narration, the mayor's wife felt much more at ease, so she praised her husband twice, and then asked:

"Hey, Lao Wang, you said that at Mengdu's wedding, the in-laws should give a dowry according to the customs of their hometown, so on our side, do we also want to give a dowry to the Zhang family?"

"That's a must! However, Xiao Hao is familiar with this kind of thing, so you should ask Xiao Hao's opinion. ”

Vice Mayor Wang nodded in agreement, and by the way, he told his wife the idea of how to give a dowry.

This will, Vice Mayor Wang's mood is very happy!

He was also very satisfied with the effect of his little nanny's ideological work tonight.

It's been a long time since I've done such meticulous ideological work!

Moreover, it is still working on a young person who is more than twice his age, and he can still do it so well!

What does this mean?

Explain your thinking methods and work ability, not outdated at all!

Not only am I not outdated, but also, in a sense, my thinking methods and work ability are ahead of many young people today!

Thinking of this, Vice Mayor Wang stretched happily, hummed a little song in his mouth, got up from his chair, took off his pants, changed into slippers, and happily went to the shower room to take a bath.

The next day, according to Vice Mayor Wang's intentions, the mayor's wife called Hao Desheng and asked him for advice on how to give Zhang Xueru a dowry gift.

"Sister-in-law, please wait a while at home, I'll be there soon."

After Hao Desheng hung up the phone of the mayor's wife, he immediately left the office, called a car to the General Affairs Section, and instructed the driver to send him to Wang's house.

After entering the door, Hao Desheng brought four bottles of "Moutai" wine and four "Zhonghua" brand soft-pack cigarettes to the hostess.

"Xiao Hao, what are you doing here? Give me a gift? Today, I'm asking you how to give a gift to my in-laws! ”

The mayor's wife treats Hao Desheng as Vice Mayor Wang treats him, and completely treats Hao Desheng as her own family.

So, as soon as they met now, the mayor's wife made a joke with Hao Desheng.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, today's cigarettes and alcohol have nothing to do with you!"

Hao Desheng also joked with the mayor's wife with a smile.

"That's for the Zhang family?"

Looking at Hao Desheng's expression, the mayor's wife asked with a little understanding.

"That's right, Mrs. Sister-in-law, you're too wise! Nothing can be hidden from your eyes. ”

Hao Desheng casually flattered the mayor's wife.

"Oh, don't you have ready-made cigarettes and alcohol at home? You don't have to take it home anymore. ”

The mayor's wife said casually.

"It's okay, the family belongs to the family, and I take it. In these days, who is still afraid of smoking and drinking? ”

Hao Desheng said, casually put the cigarettes and wine he brought on the coffee table in the living room, and then said:

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, didn't you ask me if I wanted to give a dowry gift to Zhang's family? You are very well thought out. Give a dowry to the bride's parents, it's a must! ”

"Then——, will we send four bottles of wine and four cigarettes to our in-laws?"

The mayor's wife asked suspiciously.

Hao Desheng nodded:

"Of course, it's not just four bottles of wine and four cigarettes! The cigarettes and wine are just a souvenir and a symbol. Four bottles of wine indicate the four seasons of peace; The four cigarettes symbolize wealth in the four seasons and prosperity in the family. This is exquisite. In addition to tobacco and alcohol, according to the customs of the provincial capital, the man also has to give the woman a gift. ”

"Oh, there are so many customs here? No wonder Lao Wang asked me to discuss with you, you are really a big life "Ci Hai"! ”

The mayor's wife laughed and said:

"Okay, since it's a custom here, then, how much gift money should we give to the Zhang family?"

"I'll give you a suggestion first, and how to determine it in the end, please ask my sister-in-law to decide."

Hao Desheng looked at the cigarettes and wine on the coffee table and said:

"These cigarettes and alcohol, after they are sent over, are really for the in-laws to enjoy. As for the gift money sent over, when I drank that day, didn't my father-in-law say that they were going to give Liping a dowry. In other words, my father-in-law will buy something and send it back. To put it bluntly, the gift money we gave was nominally given to the Zhang family, but in fact, the Zhang family had to send it back. The difference is that the cash that the Zhang family sent us to us has become a physical object for marriage. Mrs. Sister-in-law, I think so, in terms of economic conditions, the Zhang family is not well off at present. Therefore, we don't want to give too much gift money, I suggest it, just send 80,000 yuan to your in-laws! ”

"Eighty thousand? Are you saying that I should send 80,000 yuan to Zhang's family? 80,000 yuan, will it be too little? ”

The mayor's wife asked bottomlessly.

"No, 80,000 yuan, which is exactly a multiple of four: the four seasons are like spring, the four generations are in the same house, the four sides are proud, and all kinds of festive meanings are all included in it!"

Hao Desheng first explained to the mayor's wife the meaning of giving 80,000 yuan in gifts, and then said:

"According to the customs here in the provincial capital, we can't give too much gift money, if we give too much gift money, when the Zhang family sends it back to the wedding, the cost will be greater!"

"Oh——, what do you mean by that?"

The mayor's wife asked puzzled.

"That's right, according to the customs of the provincial capital, how much gift money the man gives to the woman, and when the woman buys a dowry for her daughter, the amount must exceed the total amount of the gift money given by the man. If you give less, the woman will be looked down upon by the man, and she will also be laughed at by outsiders! Therefore, the more money the man gives to the woman, the more pressure there is to actually give the woman a dowry!

I don't know if you've heard of it, not long ago, there was a coal boss in SX, and when his daughter got married, he gave more than 70 million yuan just for the dowry! There are also bosses in southern Fujian, when their daughters get married, they give tens of millions or millions of dowries, which is not rare at all!

According to online reports not long ago, the bosses in southern Fujian have become a trend, and now the property for their daughters to marry has soared from millions or tens of millions in the past to hundreds of millions! ”

According to the information he had, Hao Desheng unhurriedly introduced the latest news on the marriage to the mayor's wife.

"What do you say? The girl's dowry is hundreds of millions?! ”

The mayor's wife couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard Hao Desheng say such a terrifying amount of dowry.

She swallowed into her throat for a moment before she said:

"According to you, if the son of someone's family can marry the daughter of a big boss now, oh, by the way, now he is a local tyrant to the big boss, right? If the son of a family marries the daughter of a local tyrant and gets hundreds of millions of assets as soon as he gets married, doesn't he have to do nothing and can live carefree for the rest of his life? ”

"That's not it!"

Hao Desheng nodded and said:

"In today's society, many things are really incredible, and they can't be explained by common sense at all. Otherwise, how could there be such a popular saying now, called, 'Yesterday was to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and I am not afraid to go all over the world; Today is to find a local tyrant dad, and I am not afraid to eat all over the world'! Oh, I'm off the beaten track. Let's go back to the topic of giving the Zhang family a bride price. As far as I know, the economic conditions of Liping's family are indeed tight at present. I'm worried that the amount of money we give to her family will cause a lot of pressure on Lao Zhang's family. So I suggest that we only need to give 80,000 yuan in gift money. ”

"Oh-that's, that's! We must not put more pressure on our in-laws. Not only can it not increase the stress, but it is better to reduce their stress. ”

The mayor's wife understood what Hao Desheng meant, and immediately expressed her care and consideration for her in-laws.

"Yes, Mrs. Sister-in-law is thoughtful and very humane! Then, should we give the Zhang family 80,000 gifts? ”

Hao Desheng is ready to determine the amount of the bride price.

"Okay, just do what you suggested, and we'll send 80,000 gifts to the Zhang family. Well——, Xiaohao, when do you think it's appropriate to give gifts? ”

The mayor's wife suddenly thought of the time to send the bride price, and she was about to ask Hao Desheng to implement the time.

"If my sister-in-law is free, we can leave now."

Hao Desheng replied with a smile.

"Now? You mean – you can go now? ”

The mayor's wife looked at Hao Desheng in dismay.

"Yes, you can go now. Oh, can't my sister-in-law leave now? If you're not available right now, we'll do that another day. I want to ha, now it's a few days before the child gets married, and Zhang's family wants to buy a dowry for Liping, and it will take some time. If we send the gift money earlier, the in-laws' side will have more time to handle the dowry. ”

Hao Desheng looked at the mayor's wife inquiringly.

"Oh, I'm okay today, there's no question of being free or not. It's just that I'm worried about going to the bank to withdraw money temporarily, and I won't be able to withdraw so much cash at once without making an appointment in advance. ”

The mayor's wife voiced her concerns.

"Oh, cash is not an issue. Sister-in-law, you just have to go to the bank with me. I know the president of the Zhanqian Road Branch of China Construction Bank, and we have been friends for many years. All I have to do is say hi to him. ”

Hao Desheng told the mayor's wife with confidence.

"Oh, let's go. Hey, Xiao Hao, please wait, I'll go upstairs and get the bank card. ”

After the mayor's wife finished speaking, she hurried upstairs.

Taking advantage of the mayor's wife going upstairs, Hao Desheng called Zhang Xueru, who was at work.

Hao Desheng told Zhang Xueru that an hour later, he would accompany the mayor's wife to his house to deliver the dowry gift, and asked him to ask for leave in advance to go home and wait.

After a while, the mayor's wife went downstairs.

Hao Desheng picked up the cigarettes and alcohol he had just brought again, and accompanied the mayor's wife out of the house.

"Oh, look at you, just now you brought it home from the car, and now you take it back from home to the car, how hard is this? It's better to put it in the car just now! ”

When going out, the mayor's wife said to Hao Desheng with concern.

"No, Mrs. Sister-in-law, that's not going to work! Since it is done in accordance with local customs, these cigarettes and alcohol must be taken out from my sister-in-law's house! Otherwise, it will appear that we are not sincere. ”

Hao Desheng replied very seriously.

"Oh, that's another kind of exquisiteness?"

The mayor's wife shook her head with a smile:

"With so many customs, you're about to confuse me."

"No, I know these customs very well, Mrs. Sister-in-law just rest assured!"

Hao Desheng let the mayor's wife walk in front, and after going out, he put down the cigarettes and alcohol in his hand, turned back and closed the villa door, and after pulling the automatic lock, he also deliberately pushed it with his hand to confirm that there was no problem with safety, and then picked up the cigarettes and alcohol on the ground again, and asked the mayor's wife to walk to the car parked next to him.
