Li Xiaocan was also anxious: "I've already fought with my mother, you can be considerate, don't want 'hardware', you have to ask for 'three golds', my mother married her daughter, she didn't want to be too cold, she felt uncomfortable, and besides, isn't the gold still in our hands in the end?" It's not worth it, I can still keep an heirloom and give it to the baby in our belly in the future. ”

Zhang Gang reluctantly agreed.

Li Xiaocan has become sleepy since she became pregnant, and she doesn't even let Li's mother take out the garbage at home. The mobile phone TV has radiation, and it is not allowed to be touched. Zhang Gang repeatedly told Li Xiaocan on the phone that he couldn't go out, for fear of bumping and falling. So Li Xiaocan was so bored that he only had to sleep, and a few months of sleep passed.

The wedding date is approaching, and because the certificate was obtained too long in advance, Zhang Gang's company did not recognize it, and there was no marriage leave, so Zhang Gang had to ask for leave to come back. After not seeing him for a few months, Zhang Gang has lost a lot of weight, his skin has darkened, his face has become sharper, and his previous double chin is gone.

And after Li Xiaocan's first three months, he was able to eat and sleep, but he was a lot fatter, and his stomach was bulging.

Zhang just put his hand on Li Xiaocan's belly, and suddenly the baby moved, and the two were moved by this sudden fetal movement. It was their first time as parents and the first time they felt the magic of life. Li Xiaocan's belly has a life sprouting and growing, it will move, it will be obedient, and it will kick itself. This life is communicating with Zhang Gang and Li Xiaocan in its own way.

This made them very happy, and they began to buy the wedding non-stop.

Buy the dowry first. Li Xiaocan, Zhang Gang, and Li Xiaocan's father came to the wedding street, and there were too many things to buy. Boxes, sweets, couplets, plates, dishes, shoes, water bottles, cups, basins, homedresses......

It's all red.

Li Xiaocan and his father were responsible for selecting the style, and Zhang Gang was responsible for paying for it. Li Xiaocan picked out eight sets of bedding, and there was not much left in Zhang Gang's card.

And Li Xiaocan's father is still choosing: "Daughter, eight sets are too few, dozens of sets are enough." ”

"Enough! Dad, there are too many quilts, I can't use them, and it's easy to rot if I put them away. If you buy more, you don't have to make a nest for mice, it's a waste. We have to go to work in other places after we get married, and we can't take them with us, so we don't need so much. ”

Li Xiaocan pulled Zhang Gang out.

"No, I'll buy it for you." Dad Li insisted on buying it.

"No, no need, who still lacks quilts at home now? So many quilts are old. Li Xiaocan is still blocking.

Dad Li had already picked out a silk quilt of more than 800 yuan and walked to the cash register. Li Xiaocan hurriedly pushed Zhang Gang over: "You swipe the card quickly." Li Xiaocan knew that under the management of his mother who had to bargain with the stall owner for even two cents to buy vegetables, Li's father only had a hundred yuan of cigarette money and wine money in his pocket, and there was no extra money at all.

Zhang Gang looked at the label on the box and thought that the balance on the card was not enough at all, so he had to stand in place in embarrassment, not saying that he had no money in front of Dad Li and the cashier.

Li Xiaocan was in a hurry, she thought it was Zhang Gang's unwillingness, so she twisted her head and stomped out of the door angrily. She thinks that she and Zhang Gang are together, and Zhang Gang's money is equivalent to paying for herself, and she would rather pay for herself than her father, who is over half a hundred years old and has gray hair, to pay for it.

Zhang Gang followed behind Li Xiaocan: "Xiaocan! Xiao Chan! ”

Li Xiaocan walked angrily, not caring about the pedestrians around him.

Zhang Gang was in a hurry, chased after him, and pulled Xiaocan.

"Xiaocan, don't be angry, don't walk away, what should I do if I bump into someone?"

"What do you care about me, why didn't you just pay?"

On the crowded road, Zhang Gang was embarrassed to say, "I don't have any money." No money is really a disdignified word, the salesman who has no money will not look at you at all, he has no qualifications to go to a restaurant to rest, and you have to be careful when you walk without money, because you have no money, so you have a motive to commit a crime and need to be guarded against. Because you don't have any money, the doors of the world are closed tightly for you.

Zhang Gang said: "The dowry should have been out of the woman's way, and besides, I have already made so many mistakes, and I have all come out of the scattered little things before, as well as eight sets of quilts." I don't plan to buy this bed, your dad has to buy it, so what's wrong with the money he paid for this quilt? As he spoke, Zhang Gang's tone also became louder.

When Li Xiaocan heard this, the angry little flame rushed upward: "If you ask you to pay the money, you don't pay, it's you who marry your daughter-in-law, and my dad marries his daughter, he is sad enough, why do you still let him pay for it?" You're still yelling at me on the street! ”

Zhang Gang also said angrily: "It's us who got married, and I didn't get married alone!" ”

This time to buy a dowry, the two broke up unhappily.

There are still two days to hold a wedding, and the "three golds" have not been bought, and Li Xiaocan is bitter at the thought of buying things.

Zhang Gang and his parents have no money at all, and they have borrowed several times for this marriage, and Zhang Gang even uses a credit card.

Li Xiaocan has not worked for half a year, and his savings have been spent on prenatal check-ups and supplements.

This home is already stretched thin, and it is in sight.

In order to satisfy Li's mother's so-called "face", and for the so-called "etiquette" and "no worse than others", Zhang Gang had to borrow a credit card again.

10,000 yuan is already the limit, Zhang Gang has been overwhelmed by the overload of debts, and there is no happiness of being a groom "soon". Li Xiaocan is also tired from the frequent quarrels with Zhang Gang, and the newcomers who are about to usher in a big day can't see more smiles on their faces.

For 10,000 yuan, I bought a gold necklace that was thicker than a human hair, and a gold bracelet that looked wide but was actually thin. This 10,000 yuan of gold, Li Xiaocan repeatedly wanted to sell it in the days to come, the loan has interest, and the deposit also has interest, but the gold is placed in the corner, which does not play any role, and a penny is of no use.

There is no more extra money. Li Xiaocan walked into a trinket store, picked up a five-yuan copper ring, and excitedly raised it in front of Zhang Gang: "Husband, look, does it look like it's real?" ”

Zhang Gang was full of guilt: "Wife, I'm sorry!" ”。

Li Xiaocan said lightly: "I don't care if it's true or not, I don't love gold, it's just for the day after tomorrow to go through the motions, anyway, there are many people that day, and others can't tell the truth or falsehood." ”

Zhang Gang was moved: "Wife, I didn't buy you a diamond ring, no celebration, no marriage proposal ceremony, no wedding photos, I was so wronged by you, when I have money in the future, I will definitely compensate you, other women have, we have a lot." ”

Li Xiaocan listened to Zhang Gang's words, and her heart was warm, this was the Zhang Gang she knew. This is the person she identifies without hesitation. This is the person she wants to follow when she steals the household registration book and gets pregnant in advance. So he buried his head in Zhang Gang's chest: "Husband, I don't want anything, I just want your heart, you treat me well, and I am satisfied." ”
