Chapter 137: Dowry
Wang Guihua continued, "Then make up five taels to Jiadi and Ah Xiang, you two take the money yourself, what to do, we won't ask, you haven't been back to Xia Liu Village for a long time, go to Ah Xiang's mother's house to see, after the tenth day of the new year, take Xiao Xing'er to live for a night or two." ”
"According to the present, the family will only get better and better, and I will prepare the dowry of Xiaohe and them in the future, and it will be different every year in the future, and the bride price and dowry will inevitably be different, I hope you can understand Jiadi and Ah Xiang." Wang Guihua said earnestly.
Liu Xiangxiang waved her hand again and again, "Milk, we know, we don't need to make up for us, which daughter-in-law marries into the door is exactly the same dowry, all are different, at that time, the family had that condition, three taels were already a lot, now the conditions are good, and the future brothers and sisters are girls in the town, so they should give more." ”
Wang Guihua patted Liu Xiangxiang on the shoulder, "Milk knows that you all have big stomachs, but you can't be too bad, Yiting is a girl in the town, and she is a good girl, but our Ah Xiang is too, you are worthy of good, these two years are the most difficult time in the family, you have worked hard." ”
Liu Xiangxiang's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she was choked up and speechless.
Luo Jiadi smiled gently on the side, holding Xiao Xing'er with one hand, and gently caressing Liu Xiangxiang's waist with the other, "Ah Xiang, the milk has said so, let's stop shirking." ”
Liu Xiangxiang nodded and said in a nasal voice, "Thank you, milk." ”
In the past two years, the old Luo family has been difficult, but Liu Xiangxiang does not feel bitter at all, because her mother's family is more bitter, she has been used to it since she was a child, the work in the field, the work at home, and going up the mountain are commonplace, and her father and mother have never felt so sorry for themselves, thank you for your hard work, and now suddenly there are elders who recognize her, Liu Xiangxiang is a soft mess in her heart.
And the five taels of silver, the milk let her family plan, that is, to allow herself to supplement her mother's family, Liu Xiangxiang is very grateful.
The mother's family is hard, because there is less land, there are many children, and they can't eat enough at all, and the family is barely able to survive on tenant land, Liu Xiangxiang's father and mother are about the same age as Luo Laotian and Wang Guihua, but she has two younger brothers than her, the youngest is as big as Qinghe.
Liu Xiangxiang also has three elder brothers, two sisters, plus younger brothers, she has eight children in her lifetime, two sisters got married, three brothers also got married, and then they all gave birth to a string of children.
People have more children to work for the family, but their own family has no land, and there is not so much land for people to occupy in Xia Liu Village, and there are more monks and less porridge, so Liu Xiangxiang's family is still some distance from food and clothing.
However, although Liu Xiangxiang's father and mother are poor, they have never had the idea of selling their children, not that they have no relatives to persuade them, but Liu Xiangxiang's father and mother bite to death and do not sell, maybe this is incomparably more warm than some poor people.
After the buns were ready, Wang Guihua personally handed over five taels of silver to Liu Xiangxiang, and then went back to the house to sleep.
"Xianggong, this silver ......"
"You just have an idea." Luo Jiadi interrupted with a smile, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law's family are also in difficulty, and now that we are having a better life, we can help if we can." ”
Liu Xiangxiang was moved to sour her nose.
"Let's buy acres of land for my father-in-law and mother-in-law for these five taels, there are not enough paddy fields, but the inferior ones can still buy one acre, and when the time comes, it will be fertile and fertile, and it can also become fertile land." Luo Jiadi proposed.
Liu Xiangxiang smiled, "I think the same way, there is less land at home, and there are many people, if they can buy acres of land, they can also eat a few more bites." ”
"Rest early, I'll go to your mother's house early in the morning." Luo Jia approached Liu Xiangxiang and hugged her tightly, and said in a low voice, "Let's also add a companion to Xiao Xing'er." ”
Early in the morning of the seventh day of the new year, Luo Jiashu went to push the cart home, and inevitably, he was eyed again in front of the villagers.
After all, not everyone has a big cart, not to mention that Luo Laotian's family just hit a small cart not long ago, but I didn't expect to be able to afford a big cart now, by the way, the tenth day of the first year will start a house, it's really envious.
"Ah Shu, I heard that you are married, when will we drink the wedding wine." The villagers joked with a smile.
"My grandmother will definitely inform you uncles and aunts then." Luo Jiashu said with a smile, and then sped up his steps.
"Whew-" After arriving home, Luo Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second brother, what's wrong, it looks like someone is chasing you." Luo Jiahe looked behind Luo Jiashu, and when he saw that no one was there, he asked suspiciously.
"It's not just someone rushing, talking about it." Luo Jiashu scooped up the cold boiled water and drank a small half scoop of it, the hotter the weather became, and he sweated a little after not walking much.
"Why, people ridiculed the second brother about marrying a daughter-in-law." Luo Qinghe said casually.
As a result, Luo Jiashu dodged his eyes and coughed, "What nonsense." ”
Oops, it's really a matter of marrying a daughter-in-law.
"Second brother, I'm going to marry Sister Yiting tomorrow, what do you think now?" Luo Qinghe asked a little embarrassed.
"What do you think, what can you think, I won't tell you, I'll go fetch water." Luo Jiashu hurriedly took the bucket and ran outside.
"Is the second brother shy?" Luo Jiamiao asked innocently.
"Yes." Liu Xiangxiang echoed with a smile.
When Luo Laotian and his party came back, the entire Luojia Village knew that Luo Jiashu Ming'er was going to other girls' houses to be hired, because Luo Laotian and the wedding cakes they were carrying, the fruits and pork they were carrying were really conspicuous.
"You say, the daughter-in-law Luo Jiashu is looking for is from the town, is it subsidized by the girl's family, it won't be ugly, or disabled, and can't get married." Seeing Luo Laotian and his party walking away, the curious woman said.
"This Luo Laotian's family will set up a stall to sell a bun, you can't make so much money these days, Luo Yougen has been sent to a private school, and the family is going to build a house, now you can see this dowry, this is making a fortune."
"I heard He Laimi say that Luo Yougen's study is the first thing he owes, not to mention the cakes, pork and fruits, who is the dowry, there is no such thing." Another woman said.
"This house is also because Luo Jiashu and Luo Yougen are both old enough to get married, and they will get up sooner or later, but their family's life is getting better and better."
Some people say fair things, but they are envious in their hearts, after all, who doesn't like to live a better life at home.
Other people's words and thoughts, Luo Laotian's family didn't care, they were all very happy today, looking at the dowry piled up in the corner of the house, they all smiled.
"Eat a little better tonight, and it's rare for the young roots to come back." Wang Guihua smiled and spoke.
Luo Yougen came back directly with Luo Laotian and them, and told Mr. Hu, anyway, tomorrow is already a day off, and today is a little earlier after class, of course, the most important thing is that Luo Yougen is solid, Mr. Hu is approved.
