Chapter 203: Speaking of the dowry

When I took a carriage home, I inevitably had to be told because I bought cloth:

"This kid, can't you say two taels of silver for so little cloth? Even if you made a little money before, you can't spend it like this, right? Otherwise, it's better to give the money to your mother, and your mother will save it for you, and you really don't need to fill it at home......"

Xu Wenlan just giggled and didn't say anything, and Zhu was chattering.

Help cook, listening to Zhu and Bai Hui'er talk about what kind of work they are doing in Yaxing in Shangxian today.

There are also many short-term jobs, but half of them have to live in other people's homes, and some require a three-year contract, and it is not good to call Xu Wenlan for every job.

The wages for signing the contract are more and stable, but they have to be shared; Those who only talk about money are not only less money, but also unstable, and they have something to do today, but they may have to find another job tomorrow, which is too troublesome.

Xu Wenlan had the heart to say something a few times, but she still held back, and waited until the whole family, except for Bai Shengwu, who went to her grandfather's house to play, came back, and then let go of a big **.

As soon as he heard that Xu Wenlan had bought land, Zhu's whole body wilted.

"What do you mean? Why did you buy land? When Xu Wenlan put the title deed in front of her, the Zhu family was still a little confused.

Not very literate, she looked at it twice and pushed Bai Shengwen forward, Bai Yingkui also stared at it, and the family was a little nervous.

Bai Shengwen took the title deed, read it carefully, and then nodded, but didn't talk to his father, but just asked Xu Wenlan: "These days, you see Chengyu for this?" ”

Xu Wenlan smiled and nodded: "Since you know each other, you can use this tiger skin as a banner, and you can bluff as much as you can!" ”

Bai Shengwen smiled, lowered his eyes and didn't speak.

Xu Wenlan stared at it, although she felt that his expression was a little weird, but she didn't pay too much attention, but said a little excitedly: "Dad, mother, we also have our own land now, we can plant whatever we want, Dad doesn't have to go to the dock......"

Hearing Bai Yingkui's cough, Xu Wenlan swallowed back the second half of the words: "My mother and sister don't have to go out to work for a short time, this small twenty acres of land can also feed a family like their grandfather." ”

Xu Wenlan thought beautifully, as if she had seen the family living the life of a small landlord on these twenty acres of land.

But Bai Yingkui and Zhu looked at each other, and discussed in a whisper for a long time before finally coughing, interrupting Xu Wenlan's sweet dream.

"Wen Lan, my father and mother know your intentions, so, you have bought all the land, then we will plant it, but this is wasteland, in the first year of wasteland, there must be little income, I discussed with your mother, I still go out to work part-time, maintain the family first, and wait for the real opening, the family is too busy, and my father will go home to help-do it, do you think?"

Blinking, Xu Wenlan realized that she was thinking too beautifully. Regardless of the fertile land and wasteland, you have to give it time to grow when you plant the seeds, right, and it's not a fairy land, and you can still sow the seeds here and it will be harvested? If you want to get something for nothing, where is there such a beautiful thing?

Doesn't it have to be a long time before the crops grow in the field?

Xu Wenlan had the heart to say that she still had some money here, and we could get through it if we held it first, but looking at Bai Yingkui's expression, she knew that this thing couldn't be done.

"What about the land! Mother planted it for you, but how to divide this harvest? You have to listen to my mother. If you don't agree, then the mother will go out to work for a short time and will not help you plant the land. ”

Yes, her father and mother are temperamental, and they refuse to take advantage of her at all, they are obviously a family, but they still have to be clearly distinguished.

Xu Wenlan cried at that time, half true and half false, tears flowing: "Mother, mother, don't bring such ...... You don't think of me as a daughter! ”

"What are you talking nonsense about, this kid?" hugged Xu Wenlan, and Zhu comforted her softly: "It's not that my mother doesn't treat you as a daughter, but because I treat you as a daughter, I have to think about you, do you think, if you marry outside in the future, you must not have a dowry?" The woman of this big family was born from a background, and her father and mother prepared a dowry! But Daddy, poor, can't afford so much dowry, you have the ability, you earned this land yourself, then use this land to save the dowry! When you get married, all the money will be exchanged for family goods, jewelry, and these 20 acres of land as a dowry, which family can't look down on our daughter? ”

Originally, Xu Wenlan's crying was half deliberate, but listening to Zhu's soft voice to soothe, her emotions eased down a little.

Sobing, she smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, our family will not only have these twenty acres of land in the future, but this land will be used as a dowry ...... for my sister when she gets married."

"Bah......" Bai Hui'er immediately spat: "What are you doing with me again?" Crying and laughing, the old cat hanged himself, Xu Wenlan, aren't you panicking? ”

Bai Hui'er is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, where would Xu Wenlan be afraid, just squinted and smiled: "Ah, yes, even if there is no dowry, there are people who are willing to marry my sister......"

"You still say? And say?! Bai Hui'er jumped up and pulled Xu Wenlan out of Zhu's arms.

Xu Wenlan only drilled into Zhu's arms, and shouted vigorously: "Mother, my sister beat me ......"

Zhu stretched out his hand to stop it, Bai Hui'er just didn't comply, and for a while, the three women made a mess, and they revealed what they just said.

Xu Wenlan also knew that besides, her father and mother would not agree to use her money to get by, so she could only just do it.

After eating, the Bai family got together to discuss the matter of clearing the wasteland.

Bai Hui'er took care of the work of washing the dishes by herself: "You, you are a great hero today, have a good rest-what do you want to do with your dowry!" ”

Raising her eyes with a smile and glancing at Bai Shengwen, Bai Hui'er snickered: "If you buy a big family business as a dowry, then I hope you can marry into our Bai family, my sister-in-law will be good to you......"

"Sister......" Xu Wenlan didn't blush yet, and Bai Shengwen panicked first.

What is this kind of thing in modern times?

Xu Wenlan raised her eyebrows with a big grin: "Since you want to be good to me, first wash my clothes before you marry me for half a year, and then say anything about my sister-in-law......"

"Phew, you monkey who climbs up when you touch a pole!" Angry, Bai Hui'er took the basin and went outside to the stove, where did she think that Xu Wenlan was so thick-skinned!

Xu Wenlan ran outside with a smile, but turned to the backyard and picked up those broken pots and tiles.

When I cleaned up the yard before, I picked up a lot of pots and pots left over from the previous family that had not been taken away, but most of them were open-mouthed, and they couldn't be used at all, and I don't know why Xu Wenlan liked them so much and put them in the back yard.

When Bai Shengwen found someone in the backyard, she was squatting in front of a small broken tile basin: "Well, this is suitable, to make a view of the sky city?" This gap has to be cleaned up, don't cut your hands......"

"Wen Lan ......" Bai Shengwen called out and leaned forward, but did not speak.

Seeing that Bai Shengwen was just looking at the tile pot in her hand, Xu Wenlan smiled and said: "Inheriting the love of Guo Buluo's family, I will make a small bonsai and give it to Minglan , although this thing is not valuable, but Minglan must like it when it comes to my heart." ”

"Well......" Bai Shengwen responded, but he seemed a little absent-minded.

Xu Wenlan looked at him strangely, didn't pay much attention to it, and lowered his head to play with the meat, and after a while, he heard Bai Shengwen whisper: "In the future, I can also be your banner - it will definitely be ......"

Looking up in some surprise, Xu Wenlan turned her head to think about it, couldn't help but smile, and didn't say anything else, just nodded heavily: "Well......"
