(18) Bumpy propose

Zhang Gang's parents also took the fastest car to S City, they were afraid that the young couple would be helpless against this precious little life that was still budding.

After Zhang Gang's parents came, the home was much cleaner, and Zhang Gang and Li Xiaocan lived a happy life of stretching out their hands for clothes and opening their mouths for food.

Li Xiaocan was making a plan in front of the computer, and suddenly felt dizzy. She had already eaten breakfast, and now before ten o'clock and her eyes were green with hunger, she got up and poured a cup of hot water, and drank two sips, but her stomach was like a bottomless pit. She felt her heart "thumping" fast, cold sweat broke out in her palms, and she was paralyzed, so she hurriedly called Zhang Gang's mother: "Mom, I'm so hungry." 20 minutes later, Zhang Gang's mother rushed to the company with the thermos box, and saw that Xiaocan was lying on the table weakly, her face was pale, and she hurriedly handed over the thermos box. The mother-in-law looked at Xiaocan's emaciated body and had to work overtime day and night, and the mother-in-law was distressed, so she simply asked Xiaocan to resign and concentrate on raising the baby at home.

When Zhang Gang's mother took Xiaocan back to her hometown to propose marriage, Xiaocan was already two months pregnant. It is at a stage where I don't want to eat anything, and I am so hungry that I have to breathe and rest when I say a few words.

Xiao Can knew that he had completed a series of crucial life events of marriage and childbirth without the consent of his parents, and he already belonged to the category of "too disobedient", so he concealed the pregnancy certificate and just discussed the marriage according to the customs process.

At night, when Li Xiaocan rushed to the toilet for the third time with lightning speed and vomited, and had not eaten seriously for two meals, Li's mother immediately noticed something strange and looked at Li Xiaocan with suspicious eyes: "How long has it been since your 'good friend' came?" ”

Li Xiaocan pretended to be confused: "It's been a few weeks." "The heart says there's a big difference between the three weeks and the six weeks.

Mother Li asked again: "How many weeks?" ”

Xiao Can pretended to be sloppy: "I don't remember, it's a few weeks anyway." ”

"Don't be pregnant, I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow to check it out." Xiaocan's mother simply picked out the topic.

Li Xiaocan saw that the paper couldn't contain the fire, and his belly would grow bigger day by day, and sooner or later he had to let them know that it was not good to cover it up, so he could only tell the truth: "I just found out."

"Oops, you damn girl, let me tell you what's good?!" , Li's mother slapped her thigh angrily, "I said how to come to propose marriage for no reason, today I saw that his mother was talking vaguely, and I felt that something was wrong." So you're in a hurry to run to his house! What else do you mention? Wouldn't it be nice if you packed up your luggage and went to live at his house! ”

"Mom, I'm not young anymore, I'm twenty-five years old and still not married, you wait for me to be old and no one wants me, or will you support me for a lifetime? Besides, I didn't suddenly find a strange man to come back and tell you that I wanted to get married, I talked to Zhang Gang for more than two years, you don't know, you haven't seen him, his house has been bought, we were originally going to get married, but you don't agree, otherwise I will marry him early, this time you will be an adult. ”

Xiaocan's mother knows that if she doesn't agree this time, she has to agree, the raw rice has been cooked. So I had to reluctantly accept: "I really don't know what kind of ecstasy trick that short boy used to abduct such a good daughter as me!" He got up again and turned on the fan, turning on the minimum wind.

Li Xiaocan persuaded his mother: "He is not short, he is taller than me." If he's good and treats me well, don't worry about it. ”

Mama Li sighed heavily and was silent for a while, only to hear the squeaking of the electric fan. As if remembering something, he touched his daughter with his elbow: "Xiaocan, do you know the situation of his family?" How much bride price can you afford? ”。

"I don't know, it should be about the same as our family."

"Xiaohong in the village got married, her mother-in-law paid 600,000 yuan to buy a house, and the bride price was 80,000, you see that your mother-in-law's family only paid 200,000, and the down payment is not even half of the family, how much do you plan to ask for the bride price?"

"I don't know ...... either"

"You have studied hard since you were a child, your grades are excellent, there are few in the village to compare, among your relatives, your grades are the best and the most promising, but now you are looking for such an ordinary family, Xiaohong's education is not as high as you, she is not as tall as you, she also found a good family."

"Mom, Zhang Gang will also be rich in the future."

"When will your new house be delivered? The bride price should be more for decoration, so as not to have no money to decorate after marriage. Daughter, no matter what time you live, you must have some money in your hands, you don't panic when you have money in your hands, and it won't be so difficult to live. "Mama Li passed on her decades of experience.

"Then what others have is 180,000, we can have 68,000, right?" Xiaocan said.

"And the car, which family is not married now with a house and a car? Do you want to marry someone who is poor and has nothing? Not to mention two or three hundred thousand cars, tens of thousands of dollars of cars, there must be one, you don't want to squeeze the bus with a big belly in the future. ”

"Mom, his family may not have so much money, his hometown has just been renovated, and it cost more than 100,000 yuan."

"You didn't even get married and spoke for his family? Elbows turned out so quickly? Some families look like they don't have any money on the surface, but in fact they have money in the bank. Whose son didn't take out his family money and prepare to marry a daughter-in-law? If you don't do it before marriage, you will spend a lot of money on your children for the rest of their lives, and you don't have any spare money to buy these things, and now you buy them. I can't be too shabby to marry my daughter, right? It's you and not me, think about it yourself, right? ”

After listening to his mother's words, Xiaocan was silent, so he conveyed the meaning to Zhang Gang.

When Zhang Gang heard it, one head and two big. This is a bride price, a car, and a wine, where does so much money come from? My parents have borrowed 30,000 yuan for a down payment on the house. My salary has already been spent, and I have no money, how can I get married?

Zhang Gang pretended to be calm and comforted Li Xiaocan while calling his mother. The two discussed for a long time, but they couldn't think of any way to make up so much money.

No money is no money, but the child grows up day by day in Li Xiaocan's belly.

During pregnancy, she was vomiting, constipation and acid reflux, but the marriage dragged on day by day, Li Xiaocan lay on the bed every day, looking at the ceiling where the plaster skin had been rolled up, and she was always distracted.

Li Xiaocan's mother compares the east family today, and the west family tomorrow, comparing and going, counting the people her daughter is looking for with the worst conditions, and she is quite dissatisfied with her daughter's practice of "getting pregnant before marriage", so it is inevitable that she will not babble a few words in Li Xiaocan's ear, and Li Xiaocan's heart begins to crawl like an ant.

After accumulating over time, Xiao Can finally couldn't help it: "Zhang Gang, do you want to marry me?" ”

"I want to, but I don't have any money." Zhang had just worked for a day, and in order to earn a little more, he found a part-time job in the night market, selling beer, and he had just returned from the night market, and his hand holding the wine bottle was so sore that he couldn't lift it, and his throat was so dry that it was about to smoke. Exhaustion and hard work made him not even want to say more.
