Chapter 296: Dowry and Dowry
"Xiu'er, this, you take it, it can be regarded as the dowry given to you by your uncle and aunt."
When she finished eating, Zhang Shuzhen took out a red cloth bag from the kang cabinet and solemnly pushed it in front of Han Mingxiu.
Han Mingxiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Auntie, didn't I say it all, you don't have to give me a dowry, I don't lack anything, let's keep this for Sister Haixing." ”
Zhang Shuzhen took her hand, stuffed the red cloth bag into her hand, and said resolutely: "Xiu'er, you will take it if your aunt gives it to you, you Sister Haixing, I have other plans." ”
Wang Wenyuan also said: "Xiu'er, you just take it, your father and mother are gone, Cui is a person who can't stand up, and there is no elder to help you Zhang Luo dowry, even if your uncle and aunt are for your father and mother......"
When Han Mingxiu heard what his uncle said, he didn't shirk it, so he had to accept it.
She opened the cloth bag and saw a shiny chrysanthemum brand watch inside, which was the one Huo Jianfeng bought for his aunt when he came back the year before last.
Han Mingxiu saw that it was the watch that Huo Jianfeng bought for his aunt, and hurriedly stuffed the watch back into his aunt's hand, "Auntie, this is what Brother Jianfeng bought for you, I can't ask for it." ”
Zhang Shuzhen grabbed her hand and stuffed the watch to her again.
"You don't care who gave it to me, now it's mine, I have the final say, you will take it when I say it to you, aunt and uncle, an old farmer, what are you doing with this foreign thing? I'm blind, besides, if I go up and down the mountain all day long, if I break it, I can't feel sorry for me? With such a thing, I don't know where to put my hands and feet, and I can't do the work. ”
"However, this is Brother Jianfeng's filial piety to you, I really can't ask for it." Han Mingxiu wanted to break free and return the watch to his aunt.
However, the eldest aunt held her hand and held it to the death, not allowing her to break free.
"The eldest aunt also knows that this is your brother Jianfeng's filial piety to the eldest aunt, the eldest aunt will get his heart in her heart, this watch is too valuable, the eldest aunt is really blind here, you can take it......"
The eldest aunt stubbornly took her hand and forced the watch into Han Mingxiu's hand.
Han Mingxiu glanced at Huo Jianfeng in embarrassment.
Huo Jianfeng said: "If my mother gave it to you, you can take it, if you don't want it, she should feel uncomfortable."
Wang Wenyuan also said: "Take it, you're going to get married, we don't have any good things to accompany you as uncles and aunts, and we can get this thing at home, if you don't want it, the hearts of the two of us should not be able to go......"
"Yes, Xiu'er, you can take it, if you don't want it, my mother will have to go out and borrow money and buy you another piece." Wang Haixing also persuaded.
Everyone said so, and Han Mingxiu couldn't excuse himself anymore, so he took it and said, "Thank you, aunt." “
There are more than a dozen Rolex in her space, including a gold watch of pure gold, and there is really no shortage of this large domestic chrysanthemum.
However, she can't wear those watches, but this one can!
"Here, I'll bring it for you." Seeing that Han Mingxiu was finally willing to accept it, the eldest aunt smiled happily with a wrinkled face, she took the big chrysanthemum watch in Han Mingxiu's hand, and helped her put it on her arm, rambling while wearing it.
"Don't look at this watch was bought by your brother Jianfeng two years ago, in fact, I haven't brought it ten times in total, I'm afraid of bumping it, and I've been putting it in the kang cabinet, but I'm not at ease when I put it on the line, every day when the production team is working, I always put it in my heart and pulls it, I'm afraid that a thief in the family will steal this watch for me...... You don't know wow, I bought this watch back from Da Jianfeng, my heart has never been quiet, this time it's okay, here you go, I don't have to worry about it anymore......"
Dachao raised his hand: "I testify about this, my mother only wore this watch to show off when her family held a happy event in the tunzi, but she usually didn't bring it during the New Year's holiday." “
"you, don't have you anywhere." When the eldest aunt saw her son revealing her old bottom, she went up and slapped her son on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile.
Everyone laughed, and Han Mingxiu laughed too.
She also saw that this watch was still brand new, and there was not even a little pulp on the dial and strap, which showed that the eldest aunt was really reluctant to bring it in the past two years.
"Then thank you, auntie." Han Mingxiu raised his arm, looked at the shiny chrysanthemum watch on his wrist, and thanked his aunt with a smile.
Zhang Shuzhen looked at Han Mingxiu with the watch, and was also very happy, and said with a smile: "You see that this good thing should be given to young people, and it looks good when you wear it, like me, an old woman, her face is full of wrinkles, and she is blind when she wears such a good thing." “
After speaking, he took out a handkerchief bag from his pocket and pushed it in front of Han Mingxiu.
"Xiu'er, this is a dowry from your aunt as Jianfeng's mother, you can't refuse."
"Auntie ......"
"Xiu'er, listen to me first."
Zhang Shuzhen saw that Han Mingxiu was about to refuse, so she interrupted her words first, and said emotionally: "Jianfeng is my son, it is the meat that fell from my body, although he didn't grow up beside me, but he has always hurt him the most in my heart, more painful than Haixing and chaos." “
She glanced at Hai Xing and Da Chao, and said: "Hai Xing and Da Chao both grew up next to their parents, and they basically have not suffered or been wronged since they were children. But your brother Jianfeng is different, he grew up in Lao Huo's family since he was a child, and you probably know what kind of person his aunt is, the child must have been wronged over there over the years, although he didn't tell me, but I can guess it. “
Speaking of this, the aunt's eyes turned a little red: "Although I can guess, but there is no way, he is the only male in the old Huo family, and he must go back to the old Huo family, otherwise the old Huo family will be extinct, and his grandmother will definitely not live long." “
Huo Jianfeng hugged his mother's shoulder, "Mother, it's all in the past, don't talk about it, besides, I'm not doing well now?" Still looking for such a good daughter-in-law, why are you still excited? “
Zhang Shuzhen said: "Although you are very good now, but as soon as my mother thinks about the suffering you have suffered by your eldest mother's side in the past few years, my mother feels uncomfortable, Xiu, you probably don't know, I am the child daughter-in-law of the old Huo family, I was raised by Jianfeng's grandmother since I was a child, and the old lady treats me as if I am my own daughter, I can't watch her die and ignore her...... So, I had to wronged my Jianfeng......"
Huo Jianfeng hugged his mother tighter, Zhang Shuzhen's tears in her eyes finally fell, she wiped it indiscriminately, and said: "I sent the child out with a hard heart, the child was forced to go out at fifteen, I have been home twice over the years, I am distressed to death, I have always wanted to help the child do something, but I am useless, except for being able to make a few pairs of shoes, make some cotton clothes and cotton pants, I can't do anything anymore." “
"Now, he is going to marry a daughter-in-law, I finally have a chance to help him do something, I can help him do something, you don't know how happy I am in my heart, if you refuse, my heart will feel even more sorry for him......"
Zhang Shuzhen said as tears rolled down her eyes......
Seeing that the eldest aunt is like this, why did Han Mingxiu refuse? immediately took the hand-rolled bag, and said with a smile: "Then thank you, aunt, I accepted it, but don't cry, otherwise I would think that you would cry in distress when you paid some bride money." “
Zhang Shuzhen was originally quite sad, but when she heard Han Mingxiu say this, she laughed again.
She glared at her and said angrily: You are a skinny girl, you are about to become a bride, why are you still like a child? ”
Da Chao stretched his neck, stared at the handkerchief bag and said, "Sister Xiu, you can open it and see how much money my mother gives you." ”
Han Mingxiu opened the handkerchief bag, and there were six ten-yuan pieces of unity neatly placed in it, and six one-yuan ones, a total of sixty-six yuan.
This money is a lot in this era, after all, it is a minority like Sun Maowen's family to open his mouth for 300 yuan, usually ordinary people marry daughters-in-law, and the dowry is thirty or fifty, except for clothes.
The eldest aunt gave her sixty-six yuan, which was more than enough to be better than the bottom, and she was already passable.
Huo Jianfeng was also very moved when he saw that his mother had taken out all his family resources to his daughter-in-law. It's just that he is not good at expressing it, so he watched silently from the side, and kept his mother's affection in his heart.
After that, the topic became lighter, and they discussed the table for the day of the errand. I also calculated how many tables of guests I could come, and how much greenhouse I needed to build to accommodate the guests, and how many tables and chairs, how many dishes and chopsticks, and how many pots and pans I was going to borrow......
After lunch, Han Mingxiu went back with Huo Jianfeng.
They have a dinner in the evening!
Although they didn't want to participate in that dinner, they still had to participate in it for the sake of Zhang He's lifelong happiness.
