Wei Dong is like a fish in water in the unit, and he is also very harmonious with colleagues and leaders, he knows that Wei Dong is a widower, and he also has a son by his side, and his enthusiastic colleagues will introduce him to his girlfriend when they have the opportunity, but Wei Dong politely declines every time, he can't forget Yang Yun, the woman who is as gentle and agile as water.

For her son's lifelong events, Bai Yulian is more anxious than anyone else, she is in her thirties, she doesn't even have a home, and she guards a son all day long, so how can it work, what should I do when I am old?

Wei Yun is going to grow up after all, have his own life, and set up his own small family, is it possible that you want to live with your son for the rest of your life? Even if Wei Yun is willing, it depends on whether his daughter-in-law is willing or not.

When people are old, they still have to have a companion, but they can't wait for them to find a wife directly, it is best to have children, and couples who have come hand in hand through ups and downs can have feelings.

Bai Yulian works on the street, and usually has a lot of contact, colleagues, relatives and friends, neighbors, all those who have a good relationship, please, if you meet a suitable woman, you must pay attention to your son.

Yan Yan had an unhappy marriage, purely a victim, that was three years ago, and she still has a faint pain in her heart when she thinks about it.

Yan Yan's ex-husband is called Qi Ruiqing, and he had a good girlfriend before marrying Yan Yan, Liang Ping, and the two have reached the point of talking about marriage.

Liang Ping is a well-behaved and sweet girl, with long hair in a shawl, Qi bangs are left above the eyebrows, just revealing the willow eyebrows with distinct roots, a small face is slightly round, and the two eyes are bent into small moon buds when she laughs.

Liang Ping's biggest advantage is filial piety, listen to his parents, what his parents say is what, Liang Ping is the eldest in the family, the second and third are boys, the fourth and fifth are girls, the children are shoulder to shoulder, Liang Di and the eldest brother are only one year apart, the second and the third are also one year apart, and so on, the fourth and fifth are also in this situation, Liang Di has reached the age of marriage, the second and third have also reached the age of starting a family, the children are many and the family is poor, there is no money for the son to marry a daughter-in-law, what to do if there is no money, Liang Qinglin and his wife have long planned it, Then ask for more bride price, and first use the bride price of the bride price to marry the daughter to the son.

How to ask for the bride price, there must be a standard, in the words of Liang Qinglin's wife Ma Zhongxia, the daughter was raised to her twenties, and she went to school, and the family's contribution is not small, and now she can also earn wages, and after getting married and starting a family, it is a big loss to her mother's family, to ask why, that is, the money earned cannot be given to her mother's family.

Ma Zhongxia is ready to calculate according to the weight of her daughter, a pound of 100 yuan, 90 pounds will cost a bride price of 900 yuan, she will make up a whole, just ask for a thousand, looking at the girl's thin and tall body, Ma Zhongxia even regretted it a little, I knew that this was the idea, I should let my daughter eat more and gain weight, so that at least it would be more reasonable.

Ma Zhongxia said in front of her daughter when she was fine, how difficult it is to raise your sisters and brothers, the family is so poor, and you squeeze food out of your teeth for you to go to school, you can make money now, but you can't forget your home.

Liang Ping was brainwashed very successfully by her mother, she really realized from the bottom of her heart that it was not easy for her father, so after working for all these years, her monthly salary was paid, and she handed over everything to her mother except for the living expenses that she had to use.

Ma Zhongxia really regarded Qi Ruiqing as Tang monk meat, and she didn't want to think about it, although Qi Ruiqing also went to work, but he still had a large family behind him, and he also had parents and brothers, it was not the credit of the northwest wind that he could grow so big, it was also because his parents broke a penny into two petals and raised their brothers. Moreover, he has just joined the work, and his salary is only twenty-seven and a half yuan a month, and he can't save a few dollars except for the money for food, drink, and filial piety to his parents.

Qi Ruiqing's parents like Liang Ping's daughter, the girl is not only beautiful, but also diligent, she is their ideal daughter-in-law, seeing that the two of them are not young, they want to quickly settle down the family affairs and find a good day for the two to get married.

Qi's mother, Shen Sumei, told Liang Ping that on the sixth day of junior high school, she took her family to Liang's house to propose marriage, and asked her to go back to her parents' house to say hello first.

The in-laws are about to come to the door, Ma Zhongxia put the little Jiujiu in her heart out for her daughter, "Ping, your old woman is coming to the door, do you know what they have prepared for you, and how much is the bride price?" ”

Speaking of her marriage, Liang Ping was still a little shy, her eyes flashed with happiness, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "Ruiqing didn't tell me, I just know how to buy a bicycle, Ms. Erliu's, it's convenient for me to ride." ”

Ma Zhongxia pouted, "You're too easy to deal with, you're satisfied with a bicycle?" ”

"Isn't the bike still good? That's more than 200 dollars. ”

"You kid lacks heart, are you worth more than 200 yuan?" Ma Zhongxia glanced at her daughter, "You also know, our family is having a hard time, in order to provide for you to go to school, our family has no money left, not to mention that you want to get married, just now your children and friends have been talking for two years, Xiaodong seems to have talked about his girlfriend these days, marriage is a matter of sight, our family is like this, how can we have the money to hold a wedding for them, so my mother thinks, the bride price is more than the old Qi family wants two." ”

If you want more, you can ask for more, and if you want more, Liang Ping didn't think much about it at all, just agreed, "Well, I know." ”

Qi Yaohui is an honest man, and Shen Sumei is basically in charge of everything at home, Qi Yaohui prepared the door-to-door ceremony under Shen Sumei's arrangement, and the gifts are all even-numbered, tobacco and alcohol, candy, wedding cakes, red dates, lotus seeds, chickens, etc., and the two big baskets are full.

The first time you go to the door of your in-laws' house, you must have gotten the number of courtesy, and for the sake of the child's lifelong events, you can't let your in-laws pick their own reasons.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the family changed into clean clothes and went straight to Liang's house with laughter and laughter all the way.

Ma Zhongxia was also prepared early, and waited for the God of Wealth to come to the door.

As soon as the two sides met, the atmosphere was really good, Ma Zhongxia took Shen Sumei's hand until she sat down and did not let go, and the two families greeted each other warmly for a moment, and then cut to the chase.

Ma Zhongxia's enthusiasm made Shen Sumei feel very comfortable, she was about to become an in-law, Shen Sumei was also willing to be close to her, she shook Ma Zhongxia's hand and smiled from ear to ear, "Big sister, your Liang Ping is a good child, the children have been talking for several years, and they are all not small, today I came to ask for a kiss." ”

Liang Ping and Qi Ruiqing sat not far away with their fingers clasped, and when they heard Shen Sumei say this, the two looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of small happiness.

"Well, I like Ruiqing's kid too." Ma Zhongxia looked at a pair of children, "However, I have to talk about the bride price first, our custom here is that the married man has to give the bride price." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Sumei interrupted her, "Don't worry, the bride price must be prepared, just according to our customs here, we will give as much as we want, and we can marry a good girl like Liang Ping of your family as a daughter-in-law, even if you give us more, we will be happy." ”

Liang Ping lowered her head shyly, Qi Ruiqing was thick-skinned, and secretly hooked Liang Ping's palm with his nails.

How much is the custom, and if there is a three hundred, Ma Zhongxia frowned, "Eldest sister, my daughter is different from other people's daughters, how many girls in the customs do you see have jobs?" My daughter, a secondary school graduate, has an iron job and can make money, and she marries into your family with a salary, and we can't compare with others. ”

Shen Sumei was stunned in her heart, this didn't sound right, she kept a smile on her face, and tried her best to make Ma Zhongxia feel her sincerity, "Big sister, you just say it, the big thing in the child's life is to borrow it from me to make you as satisfied as possible." ”

Waiting for this sentence, Ma Zhongxia naturally said the number in her heart, "I think, we will have a long happy event." ”

"Yes." Shen Sumei agreed.

Ma Zhongxia: "I don't want much, just draw an auspicious number, and you only give 999 yuan as a bride price." ”

"What!" Shen Sumei froze.

"What!" Liang Ping was stunned, her mother said that she wanted more dowry, she didn't expect to ask for so much, she often went to Qi's house, she saw the economic situation of the Qi family, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like a family that could come up with more than 900 yuan.

"What!" Qi Ruiqing even stood up, he stared at Ma Zhongxia in disbelief, and then at Liang Qinglin, to make sure that he heard correctly, the mother-in-law Lion opened her mouth to ask for more than 900 yuan at once, and she was stunned at that time, let alone 999, he couldn't take out 500.

Qi Yaohui, an honest man, was even more speechless.

I didn't expect the Qi family to react so violently, Ma Zhongxia pulled the corners of her mouth, "Listen to me, the money I want is not much, my daughter now earns more than 20 a month, and she can get more than 300 a year, the money for marrying your family is yours, do I want more than 999?" ”

"Do you say too much?" Shen Sumei reluctantly smiled on her face, "Our custom here is eighty-eight, one hundred and eighty-eight, and the most I heard was given two hundred and eighty-eight, you are good, all at once there is nine hundred and ninety-nine, you say it is not much." ”

The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, Ma Zhongxia didn't talk to Shen Sumei anymore, she stood up, walked to Liang Ping, took her daughter's hand, and separated her from Qi Ruiqing, "My daughter's daughter is worth this money, I want a bride price of nine hundred and ninety-nine, not a single cent, if you agree, we will continue to talk, if you don't agree, we don't need to talk." Then she proudly showed off, "With the condition of my daughter, there are many people waiting to come to the door to propose." ”

"Mom-" Liang Ping stomped her feet in a hurry, "How can there be such a thing." ”

Ma Zhongxia's eyes were horizontal, "Don't be silent when adults speak!" ”

Shen Sumei still wanted to fight again, "Big sister, let's discuss this matter, and you can't say as much as you want." ”

"Stop." This time it was time for Ma Zhongxia to interrupt Shen Sumei's words, her attitude was very resolute, "This money is really as much as I say." ”

"Auntie." Qi Ruiqing begged: "I really can't get the money you want, if you have less, I will find a way to borrow it." ”

Ma Zhongxia insisted, "It can't be missing, my family Ping married into your family, and the salary for three years is more than 900 yuan, and I still think 999 is too little." ”
