Chapter 198: Dowry
Zhou Tao likes Wang Xiaoda, more than Wang Dahu, others are a little afraid of Wang Xiaoda, but Zhou Tao doesn't know why, he feels very admired when he looks at Wang Xiaoda.
Moreover, maybe preconceived, he felt that Xiao Da Ge was the best-looking and most powerful man he had ever seen.
When eating, Zhou Tao also sat next to Wang Xiaoda, and his juniors were in the back row according to their age, and after Wang Xiaoda was Zhou Tao.
"Little Dage, where did you buy this forehead? It's good-looking, and I'd like to buy one too. Zhou Tao looked at Wang Xiaoda like a little fan.
"I bought it at that place on the corner, you can customize it, choose your own patterns, I bought it there, I can take you there another day." Wang Xiaoda said with a smile.
He also likes this kid a lot, there is some aura on his body that is very similar to himself, not so calm, but he can restrain himself. Among Tianbao's group of friends, he felt that Zhou Tao was more like himself.
In fact, Tianbao is smarter, but unlike his peers, he is always full of reason, and he is a little less desperate as a young man.
"Can I buy the same one as yours? I think it's good to see. "
Wang Xiaoda was already exquisite, and with a wipe on his forehead, he looked even more uninhibited and restrained. The combination of the two discordant temperaments in his body is more attractive.
"Yes, I drew this pattern myself, I'll bring you the drawings another day, or if you have any favorite style, I'll draw a few more for you, and then customize it together."
Few people know about it, but the business is very good. The shopkeeper's craftsmanship is good, and the price is secondary. Wang Xiaoda mainly doesn't like to be the same as others.
"Okay, I'm sorry little Da Ge, I'll take turns off in a few days, and I'll go to Changle Fang to find you." Zhou Tao's eyes are shining, he hasn't been to Changle Fang yet!
"Okay, I can take you around, and then I'll take you to the shop." Wang Xiaoda said softly.
He could understand the young man's mind, and he must be very curious about the gambling house or something, but he couldn't go in, so he was even more curious.
He took him to see it, so that he would not be discouraged from curiosity and would not go astray. A child, at this age, the more adults don't let him do it, the more he has to want to do it. On the contrary, you satisfy his curiosity about the idea, and you will avoid trouble in the future.
After eating, the Wang family went back, and Wang Dahu reluctantly glanced at Zhou Yan a few times before following his father and mother back.
Just before eating, Zhou Yan saw that Zhou Tao had been talking to Wang Xiaoda, and he couldn't help but be curious.
"When did you become so familiar with Wang Xiaoda?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.
"We've eaten together before, Brother Xiao Da has been to Sister Yang's house a few times, Tianbao and I like him a lot, we have spoken a few times, and we are more familiar with him."
Zhou Yan nodded and didn't say anything. I just think it's strange, although Wang Xiaoda seems to have no problem, it always makes people feel scared, it's rare that Zhou Tao doesn't feel it, and he still likes him very much.
Zhou Tao had to go to school in the afternoon, so Zhou Yan urged him to go to the house to rest for a while, so as not to be sleepy again in the afternoon.
Zhou Cun's family also went back, leaving Zhou Shui and Zhou Yan's father and daughter.
"Rouge come here, Dad will show you this list." Zhou Shui called Zhou Yan to the study and showed her the account book.
"In the past few years, my father has also made a lot of money outside, these are account books, and the cash is also stored in the bank, but not much. Much of the silver is circulating in business. And Dad also bought a lot of land in the town, only your uncle knows about this, and now that you are about to get married, Dad will make it clear to you......"
Zhou Shui asked Zhou Yan to sit down, and then took the account book to her, and said something about it.
"Dad, what are you doing showing me this?"
Zhou Yan looked confused, she was in charge of all the money in the family, she didn't understand his father's business outside, she never asked, what did her father do when she showed her the account book?
"I'll show you, let you have a number in your heart, Dad is not biased, the foundation of the family is divided into three parts, you one, Taotao one, and give you Alingo, he has been working with his father for all these years, and Dad has to give him something to marry his daughter-in-law."
Zhou Shui said that he was not stingy, he was not reluctant to give up the money. But let's not be stingy, he is still really reluctant to give it to outsiders, he originally wanted to let Rouge and Alin get married, so that they would have one for the younger couple and one for Taotao, but Rouge was unwilling, and in the end he could only divide the things into three parts.
"Dad, you keep it for yourself, don't give it to me, Alingo is a man, he must have a copy to marry, and the rest will be left to Taotao. I only need a dowry for the same amount of money to marry, where is there a girl who marries and takes away her mother's property! Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Zhou Yan only read one page, and was surprised that his father had made so much money over the years, she was happy, but she had no intention of coveting.
She is a woman, and when she gets married, she brings some dowry, which is almost fine, and she doesn't want the rest. Taotao is still young, and he will definitely inherit the family business in the future, Brother Alin has been following his father for so long, and he is also their family, so he should share a share.
"The same, I gave you this dowry, and in the future, you can live a life of abundant food and clothing without relying on your in-laws' family, and the woman's dowry is also the confidence of the woman in her in-law's family."
No matter how good the Wang family is to Rouge, it is also a matter for the Wang family, he is good to his daughter, so he is willing to share the family business with his daughter.
"I don't have a dowry, and no one dares to bully me." Zhou Yan couldn't cry or laugh.
"Oh, why are you so stubborn. Think about it, if you want to buy something after you get married, then if you don't have any money, won't you have to ask Wang Dahu for it? Will you reach out for a silver flower? If you want to buy something for your dad or your friend, and ask for a lot of money, what will you do then? "
Zhou is very anxious, this girl is very stubborn, and there is a stupid girl who doesn't want silver.
Seeing Zhou Yan fall into deep thought, Zhou Shui continued to persuade him.
"Also, haven't you always thought that your sister Yang is amazing? Then she doesn't live by righteousness, she has her own shop, so it's balanced. "
"What do you mean by that father, I have to open a shop? But I won't! Zhou Yan admitted that she was tempted, and when she mentioned Sister Yang, she felt that what her father said made sense.
"It doesn't matter, Daddy! Dad gives you a few shops, you can rent out some, and then open a few shops yourself, you can open whatever shop you like, you just need to do what you like, business things, Dad will find you an assistant. "
"Huh? Then I'll just need two shops, I'll try to do it first, and if it doesn't work, I'll just be the shopkeeper and ask someone else to manage it. Zhou Yan said.
She has never done business, and she doesn't understand this, if she learns to touch it, she can do it, but she doesn't like these herself, so she doesn't want to restrain herself, she loves to make some rouge gouache, and studying these is enough for her to be busy.
"Where are the two shops enough, Dad will give you a few more shops, you open two shops by yourself, and then rent out the remaining ones, even if you collect rent every year, you can support yourself, how down-to-earth this is!"
Zhou Shui felt that his daughter should be like this, do what she likes, don't care about money, and then there are some back roads, the kind that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life.
"Don't, don't you have to do business yourself? I'll just need two. Zhou Yan insisted on refusing to ask for it.
His father didn't know how many shops there were, and he felt like he had to give himself the look. And it seems that this shop is as cheap as Chinese cabbage, God knows, the shop in this town is very expensive!
Zhou Shui insisted on giving, Zhou Yan insisted on not accepting it, the two bargained for a while, and Zhou Yan was willing to accept four shops, all of which were in good locations, and two of them were next to each other, which was also convenient to manage.
"That's what the shop said, what about the land, Dad bought dozens of acres of land in the suburbs, and he can't use it for the time being, Dad gives you fifteen acres of land with him, don't they grow rapeseeds? It will definitely work, you give it to him. "
If a woman wants to have a status in her mother-in-law's family, she has to help her husband, although this is not a certain thing, but if a man's business uses his wife's things, then he must be grateful, and after a certain achievement, his wife is a hero in his mind.
"Then I'll ask Brother Big Tiger, if he needs it, his father will rent it to him, this is already convenient, and the brother has to settle the account, this can't be given to him in vain, and his daughter hasn't married yet! You can't be this white-eyed wolf with his elbow turned outward. "
Zhou Yan is not the kind of person who is carried away by feelings, she will never be able to send all her mother's things to her mother-in-law's house, what is the difference between this and a white-eyed wolf.
"What I said is not for nothing, you give it to him, he can't ask for your dowry for nothing, you talk to him well, he may use it for business, but as a man, it is impossible to get his wife's dowry, he will remember you, and he will share it with you when the time comes, anyway, it won't be taken for nothing."
Zhou Shui is a man, he understands the psychology of a man, even if he is very poor, he will not live on his wife's dowry. Wang Dahu is not that kind of person, he believes in him.
"Okay, I didn't think about asking for any benefits, it's just that my father gave too much dowry, and those four shops are enough."
Zhou Yan was helpless, her father wanted to stuff the dowry to her, where in this town did anyone marry a girl so generously.
This shop and land were solved, and Zhou Shui wanted to say something more, but Zhou Yan hurriedly stopped him.
"Dad, I can only accept so much, if you say it again, I don't want anything, you say it's in vain for half a day." Zhou Yan pretended to be angry.
"Cheng Chengcheng, dad won't say it, dad will sort it out and see if there are any other statistics." I have to accept it when I see it every week.
Zhou Yan was satisfied, in fact, she knew that his father loved her, so she did this, but she really didn't want these things, this was her father's hard work for half his life.
And at this time, Taotao is still young, and his father has to guard him for many years, so there is no need to give her so much.
A few days later, Zhou Tao School was on vacation, and he went to find Wang Xiaoda as he said before.
He walked to the door of Changle Fang, a little excited and a little apprehensive, this is a casino, ordinary people talk about it, they love and hate, envy it, fear it.
For Zhou Tao, he was just a little curious. Boys are always curious about the unknown.
"I'm looking for Wang Xiaoda, my name is Zhou Tao, you go and report, he knows I'm coming."
Zhou Tao plucked up the courage to step forward, and said to the guard at the door as he tried to calm down.
"Ah, I know you, our Da Ge has explained, if the little boy comes, I will take you directly to him."
The guard was originally very serious, but when he heard Zhou Tao's words, he also smiled, and tried to speak gently.
"Okay, thank you, Big Brother Guard." Zhou Tao thanked him politely.
The guard said that he didn't dare to be, so he took Zhou Tao to Wang Xiaoda, and Da Ge confessed, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful.
"This is it, Da Ge is upstairs, the room on the left, just go in by yourself, then I will retire."
Zhou Tao nodded, thanked him again, and then went upstairs by himself. He didn't look around just now, but in broad daylight, Changle Fang was also quite lively.
However, only the lobby is more lively, and it is much quieter here, maybe this building is where little rests!
He was quite happy just now, it turned out that Xiao Dage remembered what he said, and he had explained it in advance.
Zhou Tao cautiously climbed upstairs, stood in front of the room on the left, knocked on the door, and Wang Xiaoda called in inside, and Zhou Tao entered.
"Tao Tao is coming." Wang Xiaoda said with a smile.
"Well, I'm on vacation today, so I'll come over early, and I want to invite Xiao Da Ge to a good food at noon! Let's eat something good, too. Zhou Tao said with a smile.
The main reason is that he is embarrassed, originally he just thought that the forehead on Xiao Dage's head was good-looking, and he also wanted to buy a few, but he didn't expect this to be custom-made, so he had to trouble Xiao Dage to paint him a model.
It just so happened that he was on vacation, and he hadn't been to Yipinxiang for a long time, and he missed a few dishes inside, so he just invited Xiao Dage to eat together.
"Okay, that's also the reason why I invite you to dinner, where do you want your child to pay." Wang Xiaoda still smiled slightly, a little gentle.
"Brother Xiao Da don't rob me this time, I brought enough silver to come, just because I want Brother Xiao Da to draw me a few more forehead wipes, so I want to invite Brother Xiao Da to dinner. Don't rob me, and you're not allowed to be polite. Zhou Tao said with a pout.
"Okay, then I'll eat with Taotao today. Come here, sit here, whatever pattern you like, I'll draw you a pattern. Wang Xiaoda said with a smile.
"Hey, okay!" Zhou Tao rushed over and sat next to Wang Xiaoda, very close.
"Huh? This pattern is very good-looking, and the pattern is very special. Zhou Tao pointed to the appearance that Wang Xiaoda had just painted and said.
"Well, I just drew it, thinking that you might like it, so I tried to draw a few, you see, do you like it?" Wang Xiaoda smiled and gave the paper in his hand to Zhou Tao.
"Okay, I'll take a look, I think this looks good, huh? This one is also chic......"
Zhou Tao looked at the five or six pieces of drawing paper in his hand, and he was a little picky, Xiao Da Ge is really amazing, and the patterns in this painting are very good-looking!
