When Lin Jianshe went back, neither his mother nor Lin Tong were sleeping and waiting for him.

Xu Xiaowan is excited, her youngest son, who is over thirty years old, is finally getting married, can she not be excited!

Lin Tong was a little worried, afraid that the Zhang family would still not agree to the family affair, and that the two of them would suffer a loss against the Zhang family.

Fortunately, seeing that he had a smile on his face the moment he entered the door, Lin Tong's heart was relieved, and it seemed that Zhang's mother had agreed to the marriage.

"Why didn't you sleep?"

"Needless to say, of course I'm waiting for you."

"Mom, tomorrow night, meet Yongqing's parents and sisters-in-law, okay!" Lin Jianshe asked his mother.

"Yes, you can." Xu Xiaowan said to Lin Tong, "Find you a decent dress to come out, what do you prepare tomorrow?" Also, since we met, how about the bride price be given directly to the in-laws tomorrow? Xiaotong, you can help me get an idea. ”

Lin Tong asked the third brother, "Then will you get the certificate tomorrow?" ”

"No, I'll wait until my mother meets them and finishes the bride price." Lin Jianshe said to his mother: "Mom, you don't have to worry, I have money here, I have saved all the money I have earned from my work over the years, my godfather doesn't want that money, his own salary is higher than mine, you don't want it in the past few years, I have saved it up, there are a lot of it, it must be enough to make a bride price." ”

Xu Xiaowan said angrily: "The bride price is for the family to take the money, keep your money for the future!" Do you still think Mom is in the past? Over the years, your second brother's family has earned a lot of money, and your sister has given me a lot, and I have saved it! ”

Lin Tong smiled: "Mom, you have it, but you can't withdraw this money tomorrow?" You just let the third brother take it first, and then mail it to him when you get home. ”

Xu Xiaowan slapped her head, "No, you said I was so confused!" Yes, you should hurry up and pick it up tomorrow morning, you have it in the bank, right? Wait for Mom to come home and make up for you ......"

"Mom, I don't have to make it up, I got married myself, so I should pay this money myself. Keep the money! ”

"Don't worry about it, your mom is rich now! Do you think I'm looking at your sister for nothing, since Nini was born, your sister and brother-in-law have given me a lot of pocket flowers, and jewelry, all of which are gold, and I keep them for my little daughter-in-law! Xu Xiaowan joked.

Lin Jianshe was speechless, "Little sister still buys you gold jewelry?" Mom, you wait, I'll buy it for you for the New Year. I haven't bought you jewelry as a son yet, and I can't let your girl compare it. ”

Talking about the crooked building.

Xu Xiaowan happily hehe, "By the way, how much is this gift?" In our rural areas, we are now giving 600, the less is 400, and the more is 800, I don't know how much the capital gives? Why can't it be less than our rural areas! ”

"This, the capital doesn't want this, I don't know, otherwise, just give four hundred, according to the lowest number in our countryside, the meaning is right." Lin Jianshe didn't feel that he had to give a bride price, and he wouldn't look down on his own daughter-in-law if he didn't give a bride price.

"That's not going to work." Xu Xiaowan paused and said: "This bride price is less, go back to the countryside, relatives and friends at home should talk little, besides, your sister-in-law will definitely bury your daughter-in-law in a weird way, we can't let your daughter-in-law marry such a good city girl and let people talk about it behind their backs." ”

Lin Tong said: "Then give a thousand, the highest ordinary people's families in this era are just like that!" ”

Lin Jianshe wanted to object, but he was not reluctant to pay for the money, but he felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had a feeling of taking money to buy his daughter-in-law.

Xu Xiaowan nodded, "It's not good if it's too high, just eight hundred!" Okay, San'er? ”

Lin Jianshe looked at his mother's happy face, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth and wanted to object, his mother thought so much about the customs of her hometown and Yongqing, so she came according to her old man's wishes! "Okay, Mom, the number you said is just right!"

Xu Xiaowan saw that her son agreed with her suggestion, and happily went back to the house to sleep, "I can't stay up late when I'm old, so you should go to bed early." Xiaotong, we have to buy some gifts tomorrow......" The old lady muttered and went back to the house.

Lin Tong was left, raised his chin, and asked with a smile: "How about the third brother, did you get scolded when you went to your mother-in-law's house?" ”

Lin Jiefang grinned, leaned forward, and said in a suppressed voice: "How do I think you seem to be gloating?" ”

"No, you're mistaken, am I such a righteous person?" Lin Tong smiled very fakely, "I don't care about you!" ”

"Thank you for your concern! Okay, I need to go to bed, and I have to book a hotel tomorrow morning? ”

Lin Jianshe stood up and was about to go back, but Lin Tong stopped him, "The hotel is the best, we don't have no money, don't let the Zhang family look down on it." ”

Lin Jianshe hissed, "Why do I think you are like a nouveau riche with a lot of money now?" ”

Lin Tong cut off, "I'm a nouveau riche now, don't you know?" ”

"Okay, nouveau riche sister, I will book the best restaurant tomorrow, but you have to pay for the meal, I don't have the money."

"Cut, stingy! Okay, this wallet is on me. Lin Tong touched his chin and thought for a while, "Third brother, after you get married, I will lend you some money, and you will open a store yourself, right?" In this way, life will be better in the future, and when I have a little nephew and little niece, I will be able to live more abundantly, and it will save you from making mistakes for money in the future. ”

Lin Jianjian, who listened to the previous words, was quite heartwarming, and the last sentence made him blacken his face, "What nonsense?" How could I make a mistake for money? ”

This is not an inaccurate thing, how many people have lost themselves in the materialistic era, made mistakes, and lost their old days? Lin Tong didn't want his family to become like this.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the next few decades? I'm doing this for your own good. Know why I'm opening a store? The money I earn from writing books is enough for our family to live and live very well, but I want to make sure that the family has enough money to let Zhenhua and the children know that they don't need to worry about money, so that they will not be lured by money to make big mistakes in the future. Lin Tong smiled and said, "Third brother, what I said is very serious. ”

She doesn't have much ambition, and she doesn't want to change the world, she was just an ordinary college graduate in her previous life, and she doesn't have that ability, but she can only change the lives of the people around her as much as she can.

Lin Jianshe was stunned by what she said, and then he became serious, "You're right, in the next few decades, no one knows what will happen?" We won't even know ourselves, but I'll always keep your words in mind today and try not to become the person you say you are. ”

"As for borrowing money to open a store, your proposal is good, and when I go home for the New Year, we will discuss it again." He touched Lin Tong's head and said with some sighs: "Xiaotong, you have really grown a lot, and you think long-term!" ”
