Chapter 63 The birth of a girl is a bride price

Kou Xi returned to the room and carefully looked at Huo An's letter. As before, the tone of Huo An's letters was still like a command. first explained that he couldn't go home to visit his relatives, then explained the trivial things of the New Year, and finally told himself to pay attention to his body.

Not to mention that Zhang Yao laughed at herself that they were a plastic emotional couple, if it weren't for Huo An's habit of keeping two letters a month, she herself thought that Huo An didn't have any feelings for her at all.

In this house, I saw Huo Dagui go out to the toilet. Zhang Yao lay on the kang and said faintly: "What's so proud, who is playing with your temper." ”

Gao Liman gloated: "The old men of other people's families are all at home for the New Year, and she is alone in the old woman's house, who is not happy." ”

After speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "I've been a widow for more than half a year, so I'm waiting for a meat dish to be opened in the next few days." Now it's okay, I can't eat vegetarian, I can only eat pickle gnocchi. ”

Gao Liman and Zhang Yao smiled heartily, and they both showed ambiguous expressions on their faces. Zhang Yao quietly canceled in her ear: "You say, that's it, when will you be able to have a child." ”

Zhang Yao glanced at Song Jiangang, who was still eating peanuts: "If I give birth to a girl in this birth, I will give it to her." She can't give birth anyway, so it's better to adopt one. ”

Gao Liman looked at her in astonishment, and said incredulously: "Didn't you say that this fetus is a son?"

"That's what I said, if I come out with a girl, how can I still raise it? Give it to others, it's better to give it to her. Zhang Yao pursed her lips and snorted at Li Cuilian: "I want to discuss with us, but I'm afraid that the old lady won't agree." ”

She said to Gao Liman: "Didn't you also pay a fine when you gave birth to Tianfeng! Everyone is a firstborn girl and has a son, and your first son is a son, why do you give birth to a girl." You and Huo Jiaojiao are both two fools, and you are not satisfied with having a son. ”

"At that time, our family was not strict, who didn't want to have both children and daughters. It would be better if I had two sons, and there would be one more place to retire in the future. Don't be afraid to give birth to a girl, and when you get married in the future, you will have more dowry, and the money will be earned back. Gao Liman pushed Zhang Yao's arm and gossiped on his face: "We have a classmate, five big girls in their family." In the past, the family's poor noodles mixed with soy sauce were considered Chinese New Year. Now, the five big girls are all out of the house. Look at the bride price, one by one! On the May Festival, the August Festival, and the second day of the first lunar month, one by one, they went to their mother's house to get things. Now the old couple can enjoy it. ”

Gao Liman squeezed his eyes at Zhang Yao: "Look at it, I have a plan, in the future, my daughter will have to pay a bride price when she goes out." ”

Zhang Yao's originally excited expression slowly faded down, and he muttered in his heart what the meaning of Gao Liman's words was. Could it be that he was reminding himself that he should buy something for his mother's family for the New Year?

But one of my sisters has been in her mother's house for so long with a big belly. You're an aunt, and you don't even prepare a diaper for your child. I asked you for two pieces of clothes that Tianfeng wore when she was a child, and she was reluctant to do so.

Besides, although the surname of this family is Huo, Huo Dagui agreed to come back and have children. As a daughter-in-law, what qualifications do you have to hint at yourself?

At this point, Zhang Yao suddenly felt that Kou Xi was better. At least Kou Xi never asks for things from himself, although people don't like to take care of themselves. But everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, and no one needs to look at anyone's face to live.

"Hey, you said, Huo An said to let Kou Xi buy some New Year's goods. Why didn't Kou Xi buy it?" Li Cuilian thought about Huo An's family letter again: "Huo An told her in the letter that the new daughter-in-law spent the New Year at her mother-in-law's house in the first year. Buy something to honor the elderly, and give a red envelope to the juniors. deliberately gave Kou Xi 300 yuan, do you mean that you mean to let Kou Xi spend 200 yuan?"

Speaking of this, Li Cuilian's eyes lit up: "Hey, you say, we don't need Kou Xi to buy things, let her give me the two hundred yuan, do you say yes?"

If 200 yuan is bought and asked for New Year's money, Gao Liman's two children can at least get a few dozen yuan. If Li Cuilian wants to go over, she won't even have a hair.

What she thought was quite beautiful! Gao Liman's face became ugly, and he said in his heart, I have been working hard at home with Huo Lu for a year. In the first few days of making somen noodles, we were tired like a king and eight calves. I've made so much money, and I don't see you give a dollar. Now Huo An asked Kou Xi to buy us something, you want to deduct the money, do you still have humanity?

"Look at Kou Xi's character!" Gao Liman muttered, "I don't believe anyone can ask for money from her." That tiger mom is the same, how scary. Now my son wants to eat a pig's trotter and she won't give it, and you still want money!"

Li Cuilian snorted angrily: "Do you think I want to come out? I'll show you if I can come out!"

She got up and got off the kang, and a pair of big black-footed girls pulled on their cotton shoes. He muttered angrily, "That's what Huo An said, and I didn't say it." Huo An doesn't say that he buys something for his parents all year round, that is, he is not filial piety, you know. He said that he was going to buy something, but Kou Xi didn't do it, that was Kou Xi's fault. What's the matter, I'm taking care of it. ”

Li Cuilian beckoned to Gao Liman: "You go with me!"

Gao Liman shook his head: "I don't dare to mess with her, my dad can protect her now, let's pull her down for the New Year!"

Li Cuilian glared at Gao Liman and scolded him fiercely: "You fucking fuck, what are you afraid of when I'm here?"

Zhang Yao is also a master who doesn't think much of a big deal when he looks at idle things, and waved his hand to his mother excitedly: "I also said that if you don't want to come to this money, Kou Xi will pick the door more than anyone else." You can rest for a while, or my dad will come back in a while, and it will be time to protect her bear you. ”

After finishing speaking, he added: "You old woman is good enough." People use your face as an insoles!"

Li Cuilian couldn't stand the children's agitation, and stuck her waist in the posture of a mother and a big worm: "I don't believe it, I think she dares to go against the sky." ”

Kou Xi heard Li Cuilian's roar clearly next door, and knew what her purpose was here.

Xin said that according to the customs of the Northeast, the first year of the wedding is to go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. And the elders also have to give the bride New Year's money, first to the mother-in-law's house and then to the mother's house. New Year's gifts, such as tobacco and alcohol, are usually prepared by the in-laws. If Huo Dagui really prepared things according to local customs, then after this circle, Kou Xi would have to receive a lot of red envelopes.

If Huo An doesn't come back, will she go on her own or go by herself!
