Chapter 24: Block

Yuan Li saw that Song Nanzhi's face was angry, and he hurriedly made his eyes, and Ouyang Lei interrupted Jiang Cui's words.

"Mother-in-law, are we here today to discuss with you?"

Yuan Li said with a smile

"I know that the old sister is reluctant to give up her daughter, how far can she go, besides, Li Qing is still working in the oil factory, she will come home after turning a corner, and she will meet every day, hahaha"

"Let me ask Ouyang and Li Qing, Ouyang, Li Qing, when did you two say they would get married?"

"The 11th National Day, the lunar calendar is also a double day, the National Day holiday, everyone has time"

"Old sister, beating the master, what do you see?"

"According to what Qing'er said, National Day"

"Okay, the date is set for the National Day, then let's discuss how much bride price the man will give."

"It's all transparent, everyone knows it, it's the same in our neighborhood.

I don't want you to do this or that, convert it into cash for 3,600 yuan,"

Jiang Cui's eyes widened, and she wanted to speak but didn't say anything.

Ouyang Lei said with a smile

"In-laws, this money is not small, we can't take it out at home now"

"Old sister, will you discuss it again?"

"What's so negotiable about that? Our family has all this money, you can go and ask, I didn't say a word."

"Old sister, until now, I'm hungry, let's eat first, shall we?"

"Okay, let's eat, let's cook."

Jia Hao cleaned up the table, Song Nanzhi got up and walked to the kitchen,

"Mom, how much is the bride price, have you talked about it?"

"Three thousand six hundred yuan, it's done."

"We don't want much, there is so much money at the door"

"More or less, won't you take it to her mother-in-law's house in the end? We don't want a penny from her. ”

"Yes, this is a custom, you don't want a bride price, people think you have a problem, make a mistake"

"The girl raised so big, studied for more than ten years, and finally went to work to earn money, but gave it to others"

"Isn't that all so? Good thing it's not too far,"

Zhang Ju said next to him

"Sister-in-law, 3,600 yuan is about the same, not high or low"

"How much dowry did Li Yun have at that time?" Zhang Ju asked

"At that time, Li Yun's bride price was only more than 1,000 yuan, Li Yun was several years older than Li Qing, how many years have passed, how can the two of them compare?"

Zhang Ju stuck out his tongue,

"That's, that's"

"Qing'er, call your eldest brother-in-law to serve the food, the dishes, chopsticks and wine glasses are all hot?"

Jia Hao took the tray and served the dishes to the dining table in the hall.

Song Nanzhi greeted everyone

"Sit down, sit down."

"Li Yun is busy with these dishes?"

"Li Yun is the eldest sister, she is very busy, the sister-in-law's right-hand man."

"This dish is fried well, come on, uncle and aunt, let's take the wine glass and drink it together"

"Secretary Yuan, we respect you, we have been busy with you before and after"

"Hahaha, I'm just begging for a cup of wine to drink, happy, if Secretary Li is alive, I don't know how happy I am"

"Looking at the children, they are all married and have started a business, of course parents are happy"

"Master Ou and his wife, they are also anxious, the furniture has already been laid, old sister, uncles and aunts, look at it, how are the husband and wife doing things, vigorous and resolute, there is nothing to say, such father-in-law and mother-in-law, what else is there to worry about?"

"The color of the furniture has not yet been decided, just wait for Li Qing to see what color he likes one day"

Ouyang Lei said while holding the vegetables with chopsticks and bringing them to his mouth

Jiang Cui said

"Where to get so much dowry, pick up the eldest daughter-in-law this year, and pick up the younger daughter-in-law next year, this money is spent together"

Yuan Li haha said

"What can I do if I don't spend money to pick up my daughter-in-law? People raised such a big girl, send it to your house, and then talk about flowers and flowers,

Didn't everything move to your house? ”

"Come on, eat the vegetables and eat the vegetables"

Yuan Li drank some wine and said with a red face

"I didn't drink too much, hahahaha, the day is set for the National Day, and the bride price is 3,600 yuan, Master Ou, you and your wife

Let's discuss, when will it be handed over to Song Nanzhi? ”

"In three days, okay?"

Ouyang Lei smashed his mouth and said, "Okay"

Two days have passed, and the Ouyang family's bride price has not yet arrived.

Song Nanzhi asked

"Qing'er, what's going on with the Ou family?"

"Ouyang said that he can't take out so much money for the time being"

"Can't get it? At that time, I agreed at the wine table, but now I say that I can't take it out, what kind of trick does this family have?"

"Then I'll go talk to Ouyang, if I can't take it, forget it"

Li Qing said the original words to Ouyang.

On the morning of the third day, Yuan Li sent 3,600 yuan to Song Nanzhi's house.

Both families are preparing for marriage.

A month before the National Day, Song Nanzhi was very busy, but fortunately Li Yun helped.

I played four new satin quilts, and Li Yun went to the county seat to buy one.

3,600 yuan for a large color TV, tape recorder, bicycle, bought a set of sofas, tea

Small table.

Song Nanzhi and Li Yun took the time to take Li Qing to the county commercial street to buy two sets of new clothes and a red dress and red shoes and socks.

bought Ouyang a suit and leather shoes.

There are many bits and pieces, a set of wooden basins, three large, medium and small, washbasins, hangers, suitcases, spittoons...

Soon the National Day arrived, the day before Li Qing went to the barber shop on the street, brushed his hair, firecrackers went off in the afternoon, took a bath, after the bath, Li Qing sat on Song Nanzhi's bed, not allowed to fall to the dust, not allowed to go out.

The newly purchased dowry was placed in a corner of the room, with the word "double happiness" in red.

The aunts and aunts all stuffed red envelopes to Li Qing.

"The person who picked up the kiss is here!"

At seven o'clock in the morning, the team of Ouyang's family to welcome relatives arrived at the door of Li Qing's house, a two-row small flying tiger car.

Behind is a vast and sweeping procession on foot.

Jia Hao put a red flower on his head and body

Li Qing, who was wearing red clothes and red shoes, got up from the bed, stepped over the brazier at the gate, and sent the co-pilot of Xiaofeihu.

Song Nanzhi saw that her daughter was really married, and she couldn't help but sob, and everyone persuaded her,

"Won't Qing'er come back in two days, it's not far away."

"I don't feel like I'm running around at home every day, I'm really married to someone else, and I'm a little lost in my heart..."

"When the child is older, she is going to get married and start a family, she can't always accompany you"

"Woooooo

"Old watch, you two carry the footbasin, you two carry the quilt..."

The Ouyang family picked up the relatives, arranged the personnel in order, and began to set off, and the bridesmaids always followed behind Li Qing.

In dozens of minutes, we arrived at the entrance of Ouyangjia Village.

Ouyang was wearing a neat suit, combing his hair, with red flowers on his chest, and a pair of brand-new leather shoes

The car smiled happily, rushed over, greeted Li Qing, helped Li Qing from the passenger seat of the little flying tiger, helped Li Qing to the bicycle, and rode forward.

Just arrived at the gate of Ouyang's house next door,

"It's coming, it's coming, the bride is coming! Sprinkle sugar! Grab the candy oh, hehe, hahahaha"

The sound of firecrackers fell from the sky, and Li Qing got off the bicycle and was sending off his relatives

Under the protection of the personnel, he quickly drilled through the firecrackers, passed through the hall full of friends, and arrived at the door of the new house in the east.

The door on the east side was pasted with the word double happiness in red, which was locked from the inside by the relatives of the Ouyang family.

"Cousin-in-law, open the door, open the door,"

"It's not so easy to open the door, what about the red envelope, bring the red envelope, little old watch, giggle"

"You open it first, and then go and get it immediately"

"I'm not afraid that my little cousin will be in a hurry, so you won't take it, hahaha"

"Bring it, open the door and open the door"

The door opened, "Whew~"

Li Qing was coaxed in by everyone outside the door, plus the relatives and friends in the room, everyone pushed forward and back, for a while, fortunately, the four little girls who were sent to their parents' house bravely stood in front of Li Qing.

The room was crowded with men, women, and children, with their eyes wide open, up and down, looking at Li Qing, the furniture, and the room.

Li Qing looked around the new house:

There are red double happiness words pasted everywhere,

Big red pillow towels, big red quilts, big red sheets, and a lot of peanuts and red cotton seeds were sprinkled on the bed.

From the four corners of the ceiling, cross-hung ribbons.

On the cement floor underground, a layer of indescribable paint was painted.

On the east wall, there is a set of sky-blue combination cabinets, sky-blue bedside tables, and a sky-blue writing desk by the window.

There are two red candles on the desk, and the flame is straight and strong.

"Oh, my mother is so willing, with so many things? Look at this satin quilt."

"And this big color TV, it costs a lot of money"

At the door, the relatives and friends of the Ouyang family moved the quilts, TVs, sofas, and tape recorders of Li Qing's family to the east room.

There was an old naughty old lady in the Zhuangzi, bent over and arching her back, grinning with her teeth bared.

Suddenly, he ran into the new house, waving his thin hands, ready to blush Li Qing's face, but was firmly blocked by the clever bridesmaids.
