Meng Youyou specially chose the state-run hotel, picked two meats, one vegetable and one soup, although the waiter's attitude was not good, but the master's cooking level was still quite good.

Even though Meng Youyou and Jiang Chuan ate a lot, there were still some leftovers in the end, but fortunately, when the two of them ate, they had a tacit understanding to pick up the vegetables from one side, so the rest would not get dirty.

Called the waiter to help pack it, and when Meng Youyou wanted to go to the checkout, Jiang Chuan had already handed over the money first.

"Last time I invited you was just a bowl of noodles, how can you invite me to eat these good ones, you should invite me next time."

Meng Youyou refused, "In addition to that bowl of noodles, the pork you gave me was several catties, and I also served you a plate, and the rest was given to me." ”

Even though she and Wu Qingmei specially chose the biggest plate in the house and stuffed a full plate of meat, there was still a lot left in the pot, and it all ended up in her and Wu Qingmei's stomachs.

So not only the bowl of noodles, but also the meat he sent around the corner, and, of course, an iron pot.

No matter where she came from, Meng Youyou felt that she should treat him to a meal to thank him.

"Let's talk about it next time," Jiang Chuan took the change he had retrieved, looked at her, and smiled, "Why are you not happy that someone invited you to dinner?" ”

Jiang Chuan pulled her out, "If someone invites me to dinner, I will definitely be very happy." ”

Meng Youyou snorted, "You are not allowed to rob me again next time, otherwise we won't even have to be friends in the future." ”

She thought that in Jiang Chuan's eyes, she must be very poor, and to eat a decent meal in this big restaurant, at least five yuan would have to go up, and he must be afraid that if he paid the money and went home, he would definitely not be able to pay the difference.

It's just that it's one thing for him to sympathize with himself, but Meng Youyou can't take his sympathy and pretend to be indifferent.

"Cheng," Jiang Chuan nodded solemnly.

The two men were joking and pushing their bicycles forward, not noticing the people who were following them.

"Second uncle, did you say that Meng Youyou deliberately hooked up with that man?" Hu Tingting looked at them talking and laughing, so she was so angry that she said angrily.

After they left just now, Hu Tingting was unwilling to miss the opportunity to meet Jiang Chuan again, and she was worried that Meng Youyou would be deceived, so she specially coaxed Meng Gui to follow and take a look.

The two of them watched them enter the state-run hotel and stayed for almost an hour before coming out, and Hu Tingting stood in the corner outside for so long, and the longer she waited, the more irritable she became.

Obviously, she is better than Meng Youyou everywhere, and Meng Youyou has been the most inconspicuous one since she was a child, but she didn't expect her to be familiar with the man she fancied one step ahead of herself.

Even so, Hu Tingting didn't think that Jiang Chuan might like Meng Youyou, because she felt that Meng Youyou didn't even deserve Jiang Chuan's fingers.

Meng Gui didn't expect his daughter's relationship with that educated youth to look so good, and he was stunned when he heard this, "Tingting, don't say it so ugly, she is your cousin." ”

Even if Hu Tingting said such a thing, Meng Gui was not angry, but her tone gently asked her to pay attention to the words she spoke.

Hu Tingting nodded disdainfully, "Second uncle, that man can't like Meng Youyou, you must not let Meng Youyou be with him anymore, otherwise Meng Youyou will be in trouble." ”

In and out of his words, he was thinking about Meng Youyou, and he had a worried face, which made Meng Gui very useful.

"Don't worry, I won't let Yoyo be with him."

Meng Gui was also sincere when he said this, in his opinion, he also felt that his daughter was not worthy of others, and a man like Jiang Chuan would not be able to be with Meng Youyou.

He thought that if he had a chance to turn around, he must talk to Meng Youyou well, so that she could break off her thoughts that she shouldn't have earlier.

Hu Tingting stopped, didn't follow any further, didn't want to buy sandals, and didn't want to care about Meng Xiaoping's residence, so she only said that she was dizzy and wanted to go home to rest and left.

Meng Gui heard her say that she was uncomfortable, so naturally she would not force Hu Tingting to follow her, so she could only find a place by herself.

He was busy working in the county, and Mrs. Meng was also busy working for him in the village.

"What?" Mrs. Meng was a little incredulous at what she had heard, and repeated it again, "You said that you need so many things to find a daughter-in-law now?" ”

Aunt Xu, who is used to being a matchmaker, took a sip of water and said, "No, marrying a daughter-in-law now is different from the past, not to mention the four major pieces, just talking about the bride price will start at fifty yuan." ”

Recently, the four popular pieces, that is, the "three turns and one ring" in other people's mouths, that is, permanent brand bicycles, Shanghai watches, sewing machines, and one ring is a tape recorder.

These things are necessary for marriage in the city, although they may not all be bought in the countryside, but they always have to be taken out, otherwise they will not look good after all.

"Fifty dollars?" Mrs. Meng was speechless, "Why are you going to have so much now?" ”

She remembered that when she got married, she asked for a bride price of a few yuan from the Meng family, and when she married Meng Fu and Meng Gui's two sons, she only spent twenty or thirty yuan to buy things, but she didn't expect that now only one bride price will cost fifty yuan.

"Yes," Aunt Xu nodded, she knew Mrs. Meng's thoughts, so she also said directly, "But your grandson is still young, and your family has so much labor, it is not a trivial matter to save money for him to get married." ”

To be honest, in fact, the Meng family in the village has a better life, because the old man is only Mrs. Meng, her body is still strong, and everyone at home and outside can help her, and the children of the grandchildren have grown up and don't need to take extra care of them.

"I'm not going to marry my grandson," Mrs. Meng sighed and compromised, "Are there any divorced women?" However, children are not allowed. ”

Originally, I wanted to marry Meng Gui a decent daughter-in-law, at least ten times better than Wu Qingmei, but I didn't expect it to cost so much money, so Mrs. Meng stopped thinking about it.

Find a woman who is also divorced, Mrs. Meng thinks it's nothing, but she can't take the children and help other people's families raise their children.

"You said Meng Gui?" Aunt Xu put down the water glass in her hand and asked.

It is rumored in the village that Wu Qingmei is going to divorce Meng Gui, and she has written a written statement with the village chief, but Meng Gui has not been able to come back to sign, in other words, the two of them are still missing the last formalities for divorce.

The marriage over there has not yet been divorced, and Mrs. Meng is looking for a daughter-in-law for her son Zhang Luo, but it's really ......

Aunt Xu might as well be the result, and said slowly, "I'll help you keep an eye on it." ”
