Chapter 238: Worried Elders

Poof!

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be happy, and opened his mouth to say, "Master, her name is Merika."

"It turns out that this girl's surname is Mei ......," Zhang Jiaren said.

Zhang Chi didn't hear it clearly, and as soon as she heard it clearly, she was going to tell her grandfather, but although Zhang Chi didn't hear it clearly, Li Xiumei heard it clearly, she had already made such jokes before, so she whispered to her father-in-law.

"Dad, the girl's surname is not Mei, but her name is Merica, a foreigner."

"Oh, it turns out that the surname is not Mei."

Merica smiled and explained: "My surname is not Mei, my name is Merica, my previous surname was Corinth, my full name is Merica Marie Collins, and in a few days I am going to change my surname to Zhang, and I will have the same surname as Zhang Chi."

These words can paint the four on the opposite side again, and change them to the surname Zhang Chi, isn't that just changing their surname, of course, Li Xiumei and her mother-in-law are not surnamed Zhang.

"You kid makes people ...... Rika, what kind of surname did you change?" Li Xiumei complained.

Zhang Chi said: "Americans are like this, and after getting married, they changed to their husband's surname, which is different from our customs."

Grandma Miao Guifang said: "Isn't there a revolution in the United States, why can't women hold up half the sky?" ”

When Miao Guifang heard about this, it turned out that the United States was not very good.

Originally, I thought that the United States was quite developed, why are there still these feudal remnants, why do women have to follow their husband's surname when they get married, we have changed it in China, unlike the Chen Zhao family called it before, it sounds like women over there have not been liberated?

Zhang Chi had to say: "Grandma, the United States has not yet reformed, waiting for you to come over and help with the reform."

"What nonsense?" Zhang Youpeng glared at his son, and he could tell that his son was joking with his grandmother.

Miao Guifang was a little unhappy to see her son talking to her eldest grandson like this: "What do you say, I can't talk and go."

Zhang Youpeng smiled awkwardly and closed his mouth twice.

Miao Guifang looked at Merika and asked kindly, "Girl, that ...... Merica."

"You say," Merika said, "

Originally, Miao Guifang wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Merika and forgot about it directly, so she frowned and thought: "What I want to say, why did I suddenly forget it."

Zhang Chi pulled Merica to the side of the recliner and sat down, and then pulled Merica to sit on another chair, and the two pulled the two chairs together, facing the camera side by side.

The old lady hadn't remembered what to say.

"When are you going to pull the testimony, and the United States will also pull the testimony, right?" Li Xiumei asked at this time.

When grandma heard this, she immediately patted her leg: "By the way, I just want to ask this."

"The certificate has been pulled, but this certificate has a time limit, and we are going to pull it permanently in a few days," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Li Xiumei and the four of them were stunned by these words, but they didn't get entangled, and it was normal for them to think that American customs were different from ours.

Ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs.

"Then you're going to hold a banquet in the United States? When will your dad and I pass? Li Xiumei said.

Originally, the four of them thought that if Zhang Chi was looking for a local daughter-in-law, he would do it directly in his hometown, but now that his son has found an American daughter-in-law, who is not yet Chinese, where will this banquet be held, it will not be good for him to call the shots, so he has to ask for the daughter-in-law's opinion.

At the beginning, the four of them discussed whether to do it on both sides, and they had paid for a lifetime of money on their side, so they just found this opportunity to recover it.

The son has to set up a banquet when he gets married, and when he has a grandson, he has to set up a banquet when he has a hundred days.

No anti-theft

But for now, it's up to the kids.

Originally, Li Xiumei felt that finding a foreign daughter-in-law was a bit unreliable, but now she has touched a wall in the matchmaker's place, which is a convenient time.

Thinking of this, Li Xiumei subconsciously straightened her waist: The old lady doesn't ask you for these things, our son is angry and talked about one by himself, and he is going to get married quietly, Guan Jian is daughter-in-law is beautiful, well, she is still tall.

"Mom, Dad, grandparents, we are not going to hold a banquet, this thing is laborious and unpopular, don't do it, it will save trouble for both times, Merica and I will get the certificate first, and when you come over, call the uncle's family over, and everyone will have a meal and set up wine" Zhang Chi said.

When the four elders heard this, they all felt a little regretful in their hearts, but they are not people who do not open, if the juniors don't want to do it, then don't do it, as long as the juniors live a good life, they can do whatever they want.

"Okay, you just decide."

Zhang Jiaren opened his mouth and said. As the head of the family, Zhang Jiaren opened his mouth here, so the matter was settled.

Li Xiumei asked, "What do your in-laws think?" Also, when will we be in-laws? ”

Li Xiumei felt that the two children were going to get married, and she had to meet her in-laws or something, and everyone would get to know each other together.

Zhang Chi explained: "If the United States doesn't want this, don't worry about it."

The decision was simple, Zhang Chi had to deceive the elders, there is no such thing as a family in the United States, but before the two children get married, everyone meets, and if there is a wedding, they also have to discuss.

But now Merika's situation is a bit special, it seems that the relationship with her father and stepmother is not very good, and the matter of meeting her in-laws has to be settled.

But it's not good to tell your parents clearly, so you have to lie.

"How much is the bride price?" Li Xiumei asked again.

The word bride price directly confused Merika, she is a Chinese and has also spent time in China, but she really doesn't know about bride price.

Zhao Yue and Duan Shuyi are both rich, and their family strength is also good, so they naturally don't expect their daughters to pay any bride price when they find a boyfriend to marry.

Besides, the brothers of the two are also masters who can make money, and the girls around them are surrounded by a lot, and they don't need to use their bride price to marry their brothers, so where will they talk about this.

The average family asks for three or four hundred thousand yuan, which is to peel off a layer of skin, and they take three or four hundred thousand yuan themselves, which is just to buy an average grade car, so Zhao Yue and Melica don't talk about this thing when they are together.

Zhao Yue and Duan Shu didn't talk about it, and Merika had no way of knowing this kind of thing.

Merika asked, "What is a bride price?" ”

Zhang Chi said: "It's okay, why are you asking about this?" ”

Zhang Chi didn't explain here, but Li Xiumei opened her mouth and said: "The bride price is for the woman, that is, our family gives it to you, it's almost two or three hundred thousand here, and I don't know how much it will be in the United States."

This is the public price of the surrounding area, of course, not necessarily, some people want more, as for how much, it's hard to say, depending on the family situation, some families want less.

But in general, there are many poor people in the family, and the rich people in the family generally mean it, or they just just hold up a scene, and wait for the marriage to get married, and then give the money to the children.

As soon as she heard that she could take the money, and Li Xiumei didn't know the conversion price, Merika was a door, so she asked Zhang Chi excitedly, "Why didn't I have it?" ”

It looked as if Zhang Chi had hacked her money again.

Zhang Chi suddenly wanted to give Merika a neck lock skill: "This thing is the remnants of feudalism, what do we want to do, besides, it's just a matter of the left hand to the right hand, you see everything belongs to you, what dowry do you want."

Zhang Chi began to spin Merika's mind around.

Merica felt as if she had suffered a loss, but she couldn't think of where she had eaten.

"Mom, don't worry about it, we'll just decide for ourselves."

Zhang Chi feels that his wife is a bit troublesome, what are you doing with money when you have nothing to do, I don't know if my daughter-in-law can't see money?

When Li Xiumei heard it, this is obviously an American girl who doesn't want a bride price, look at it, it's still an American girl who is sensible and doesn't want a bride price when she gets married.

"Where do you live when you're married? Did you buy a house? If you don't buy it, buy it quickly, we have saved a little money here, and I will bring it to you when the time comes, and you will have to pay off the mortgage or something."

Miao Guifang was worried about where the young couple would live after they got married.

The old man is worried about this and that, she thinks that since there is a girl with her grandson, then her own family can not say nothing, if the young couple buys a house, she is ready to give all the money in the family, she feels that although the money is not much, but it also represents a little heart of her elders.

The old lady's words confused Merica again.

In fact, if parents here have the ability, their children's college tuition, the house and car they will live in after graduation.

This is actually no different from Chinese parents, except that most American families are also ordinary families and cannot afford to buy a house for their children.

But if there are such conditions in the family, not to mention all parents, but at least half of American parents will buy them for their children.

No matter which culture, which country, parents' love for their children is the same, we Chinese are reluctant to let their children suffer, American parents are willing?

As for saying that he was kicked out of the house at the age of eighteen or something, you just have to listen to it, and you would be stupid if it was true.

If this is the case, when the child reaches the age of eighteen, why doesn't Bill Gates kick his children out of the house? Not only did he not rush the children, but he also gave hundreds of millions of dollars per person, which is enough to take care of each child's life for a lifetime.

So if there are some well-known words, you just need to listen to them.

Zhang Chi said: "The family's house is ready to be built, and people will come in a few days."

Li Xiumei and Miao Guifang thought very thoroughly, they had to ask about everything they got married, and Zhang Chi had to explain it one by one.

This chat was just an hour, and the father and son of Zhang Jiaren, Zhang Youpeng, who were originally in high spirits, were a little about to yawn.
