Chapter 259: Exaggerated Dowry
"Of course!" Xiao Nanbao said proudly, he must be a good uncle, he was very sad yesterday, but what his sister told him later, today his brother-in-law treated him the same as before, which reassured him.
My sister and brother-in-law will definitely be the same as before, then he won't be sad, he actually likes babies, there are too few people in the family, it would be better if there were children!
Seeing the appearance of the little milk bag today, Yan Haodong felt that he and He Kexin were really overly worried, in fact, the little milk bag had no other meaning, just no sense of security, they behaved the same as before, and the child was naturally relieved.
"Little milk bag, what do you hope to catch today?" Yan Haodong felt that since the child was fine, there was no need to say more, just take him to play with him!
The little milk bag thought for a while, pointed to the mountain not far away, and said, "I hope I can catch a rabbit or a pheasant, so that I can make up for my sister's body." ”
"Okay, then we'll work hard."
"Hmm."
On this day, the little milk bag can be very active in the mountains, and finally the two people caught two pheasants, and on the way home, the little milk bag kept looking at the two pheasants and laughing.
In the days that followed, the little milk bag was to fully show their love for the unborn child, every day when they returned home, after doing their homework, they had to take the textbook to read the three-character scripture to the baby, and sometimes they had to keep what was delicious for He Kexin to eat, saying that the baby could also eat it in this way.
He went to school in the town, He Kexin was worried that he would have something he wanted to buy, so he also loaded it with three cents, and the little milk bag didn't cost money before, and if there was anything he wanted to buy, he would tell Yan Haodong and He Kexin that he would go to the snack bar at noon and go home to live in the evening, so he didn't have the opportunity to spend money himself.
Now he sometimes comes back and brings one or two small toys, all of which are sold in the town, one or two pennies a penny, every time he is very excited to bring it back and say that it is for the baby, Yan Haodong specially made a small box for him to put these small toys.
He Kexin and Yan Haodong looked at the little milk bag, which was more positive than them, and the two of them couldn't cry or laugh!
The Yan family also has a big joy for their family, Yan Haowen's eldest son, the eldest grandson of the Yan family, Yan Xuanfang is about to get married, and the Jiang family is happy.
Although her son goes to school in the town, who knows that this child is not a school material at all! Not to mention the bottom of every exam, I usually sleep in class, these things are unknown to the Yan family, Yan Tianyou still thinks that this eldest grandson can fight for their family!
Of course, both the Jiang family and Yan Haowen kept this matter a secret, worried that others would laugh at their son, and the Yan family would no longer give them financial support.
Seeing that his son couldn't read, the husband and wife dispelled this idea and were always ready to find a daughter-in-law for their son, but Yan Haowen was the shopkeeper in the town at that time, so he naturally didn't look down on the girl in the village.
But the girls in the town don't look down on their countrymen, and in the end there is really no way, so they can only find a countryman, but the girl's father is Xiucai, although the family is very poor because of studying, but the family is Xiucai, which is naturally higher.
Jiang's hit this idea, so after looking for a long time, he finally found a satisfactory daughter-in-law, who was about the same age, and was ready to go to the dowry to get married, but who knew that people had asked for a dowry of twenty taels of silver, ten pieces of gold and silver jewelry, five pieces of cloth and satin, ten horses of muslin, and pork and rice noodles.
Jiang almost didn't come to the door when he heard this, this family is really shameless, how can someone stipulate a dowry for others, this dowry is prepared by the man, at most there are some requirements for the dowry, who will say the dowry so specifically?
But Yan Xuanfang has already seen other people's girls, and that girl is indeed good-looking, because she has a talented father, so she is also literate, he has taken a fancy to it, and the Jiang family has no choice.
Her son was willing, even if she was angry, she could only grit her teeth and agree, and the family would make a fuss if it was not strict.
"This is simply too exaggerated, how can we countrymen give so many dowry gifts for marrying daughters-in-law!" Ma Shi said unconvinced.
This Yan family belongs to everyone, if you give so many dowry gifts to the son of the old family, how can your son be rich when he arrives in his own family? She has to think about her son!
The Fang clan was also very angry, this Jiang clan was simply a lion with his mouth wide open, she could say this kind of thing?
"Dad, mother, I also think that this dowry is excessive, our family is not a rich family, how can we get so many dowry? If you give Xuanfang so many dowry gifts to get married, then the rest of the boys who marry daughters-in-law know about Xuanfang's dowry, what should we do if they ask for so much? ”
Jiang Shi gritted her teeth angrily when she heard Ma and Fang's words, of course she knew that so many dowries were too much, she was reluctant to give up her money and could only come to Yang, but Yang had not spoken yet! This Ma and Fang opened their mouths, it was simply too much!
"Daddy, that's not what I said, Xuan Fang is the eldest grandson of our Yan family, he also studied and married the daughter of the Xiucai family, I think so many dowries are really not too much!"
When Ma Shi heard this, he rolled his eyes decisively, glanced at her and said, "You are really angry, so many dowries are not too much?" Even if the average family in the town doesn't have so many dowry gifts for marrying a daughter-in-law, right? You still don't say much, since it's not much, you give it yourself? ”
Jiang Shi felt that she couldn't say too much to Ma's, and she was not the opponent of these two concubines, "Dad, this is proposed by someone, if we don't agree, how can this Xuan Fang get married?" He is the eldest grandson of our family, so naturally he can't be the same as other children! ”
Seeing that the Jiang clan was still brainwashing Yan Tianyou, the Fang clan couldn't help it, coughed, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, "I'm speechless when my sister-in-law says this, how is Xuan Fang different from other children?" They are all grandsons of the Yan family, and he was just born earlier than the others. ”
Ma Shi nodded in agreement when he heard this, and said mockingly: "That is, being born early took advantage of it, and now it's endless?" After all these years in the town, when have you ever given money to your family? But your son's education is all provided by the family, and the result? After so many years, I haven't read any famous halls, even the most basic children have not been admitted, and it is just a waste of money! ”
Hearing these two people's ridicule of his son, Yan Haowen couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Is it appropriate for you to be an aunt to say this about your nephew?" He is the eldest grandson of the Yan family, wouldn't it be good for your children if he gets better? ”
