Chapter 121: Moving to a new home to receive gift money
Su Li grabbed Boss Su's arm, and reached out to hold Su Baiya's hand.
However, Su Baiya moved her hand to the side, although she called Su Li her mother, she just regarded it as a title.
The big hand holding the small hand will only give her goosebumps.
Su Li did not continue to insist: "Let's go, don't go too late, so as not to be gossiped about." ”
"Isn't it just that the second uncle moved to a new house for a treat, don't worry."
Su Baiya still doesn't know the meaning of the second room, this move to the new house is not familiar, and the second room is invited.
The purpose is not obvious, it is to receive gift money.
Boss Su, as the eldest brother, is also a minor official.
This time I'm bleeding profusely!
As long as the money is enough, if you don't want to keep people going, save a little food for the second room, and you will be even happier over there!
"You're right, let's go slowly, when we take a walk" Su Li paused and asked, "Boss, how much are you going to give to the second child?" ”
Boss Su hesitated for a while: "The second child has no job to make money to support his family now, and he has built a new house, I'm afraid it won't be easy in the future, I mean give one or two silver, what do you think?" ”
The salary of the yamen is 300 wen a month, and with some extra income, it is only 500 or 600 wen a month.
A tael of silver gift money is almost his month's salary.
This can't be helped, and today's custom is to move to a new house to give gifts.
And in the place where you enter the courtyard, there is also a person who writes a salute.
I will remember how much I sent.
"Isn't a tael of silver a bit too much?"
Su Baiya knew that Boss Su was very thrifty, and if a pair of shoes was worn out, she would make up for it and wear it again.
This gift of one or two pieces of silver will definitely hurt me for a long time.
"It's okay, although it's my second brother who broke up, I gave it to my own family and didn't give it to outsiders."
Boss Su squeezed out a smile! Forcibly comfort yourself.
Su Baiya knew that Boss Su also wanted face, and he couldn't wipe his face if he gave too little.
However, I feel that the eating appearance of the second room is a little too ugly, but it is a housewarming to a new house, and it is generally just a meal for my family, and the gift is also the meaning.
Now you are invited to do it if you are not familiar with it, and it is like Su Dazhuang has won the top prize in high school.
So he came up with an idea and asked Boss Su to prepare a red cloth and tie the copper plate tightly in the red cloth.
Generally, there are only two kinds of people who will wrap the gift money in red cloth, and one is that they give too little and their faces are not bright.
The other is to send too much and want to keep a low profile.
After all, if you send 100 wen to this family and 50 to the other family, it is a bit too much to say.
The person who made this gift would not take it apart on the spot, would it?
...
When I was approaching the two-bedroom house, I faintly heard a sound.
The closer I got, the sound became clearer.
It was the voice of Su Wang
"Liu Zhuang, twenty wen."
"Zhou Shanzi, thirty wen."
"What does that mean?" Su Li paused and said, "Isn't there still someone singing?" ”
The three of them quickened their pace and walked for a while, just in time to see the scene outside the gate of the second room.
I saw Su Jingshan sitting on a chair, with a wooden table in front of him, and he was holding a pen to remember the ceremony.
Su Wang sat on the side, smiling and receiving the gift.
Whoever gave as much, Su Wang's family would count the quantity, and then shout loudly to everyone.
And Su Baiya also noticed that Su Wang personally opened a tight red cloth wrapped in a bag.
I saw that Su Wang's face changed, and he shouted in a strange manner:
"Sheep Zhi, two hard-boiled eggs!"
Su Wang was like a plate of walnuts, holding two eggs in the palm of her hand, and the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, stinky as if others owed her a lot.
Yang Zhi smiled embarrassedly, he probably didn't expect someone to open the red cloth bag, and felt that the eyes of the people around him fell on him, and quickly took out the money bag, and said with a smile:
"Just kidding, just kidding, I was going to send twenty wen."
Su Wang's family and the guests in the courtyard softened a lot.
Su Wang's face softened because he received a satisfactory gift money.
And the guests in the courtyard are because they have all come out with blood, and others don't want to come to eat and drink! It also takes some blood to balance in your heart.
...
Looking at this scene, Boss Su silently put the red cloth bag into the cuff and held a tael of silver in his hand.
Su Baiya's lips moved, and she didn't know what to say.
If you have a thick skin, you are invincible.
When he arrived at the position of writing the ceremony, Su Jingshan saw that it was his eldest brother, swallowed the egg, stood up, and said enthusiastically: "Big brother is here, please come inside." ”
He is very concerned about how much Boss Su will give, because it is related, and the gifts that Boss Su will give him in the future will not be lower than the current number.
Boss Su still had a silver ingot in front of Su Wang's family: "Congratulations." ”
Su Wangshi shouted: "Big brother will come, it's always a valuable gift." ”
Then he raised his voice again: "Big brother Su Jingming, one or two silver." ”
After a few polite words, Boss Su walked into the courtyard.
"Yo, Su Dianshi, Mr. Su, and Director Su are here!"
Everyone gave up their hands one after another.
Su Baiya hadn't stepped into the steps yet, so she was stunned.
Good guys, the yard can be described as "overcrowded".
Can the popularity of the two-bedroom family be so good?
With Boss Su and the Su Wang clan to deal with, Su Baiya took the time to observe the courtyard.
The standard three-in and three-out, a family of three lives very spacious, and you can raise some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows or something.
There is also an osmanthus tree planted in the yard, and a piece of land has been opened in the corner of the wall, which seems to be planning to plant something.
The courtyard wall is made of rammed earth, and when his eyes move up, he can't help but exclaim, the main roof is still covered with tiles.
Nowadays, the price of this tile is high, and the requirements for the beam are also high, which means that ordinary people cannot afford it.
The house where Su Baiya lives now is only willing to use thatch.
When it rains heavily, it rains lightly in the house!
This Su Lao Er and Su Wang's really have two brushes, and I don't know how many taels of silver they have grinded from the old couple.
Looking at the guests in the courtyard again, most of them don't look good!
This is also normal, as far as the door salute is concerned, it may have only been intended to give two eggs, but I am afraid that the eggs can only be replaced with two articles.
If you plan to give two articles, you may change it to ten articles for the sake of face.
There is a kind of strong buying and selling in it.
Can you be happy?
After waiting for a while, Grandpa Su and Su Lao Er respectively carried a wooden barrel with a lid and walked into the yard.
Slightly surprised, there were a lot of people coming, so I dealt with everyone casually and went straight to the kitchen.
After a while, Su Lao Er returned to the courtyard and said with a smile: "The third uncle is also here, how do you feel about my house." ”
The third uncle stroked his cane with a pestle in one hand and a gray beard with the other, and snorted coldly: "If you want to talk about the house, except for the village chief in our village, then you have to count you as the best." ”
His eyes are full of jealousy!
Su Lao Er smiled and said: "In the future, I will retire in this house, of course, I have to repair it better, and no one can wronged himself, right?" ”
