Chapter 427 talks about bride price

Susie and Qiao Mu went to the stove house, the old lady was stir-frying as if nothing happened, glanced at Qiao Mu and Susie, and even showed a gentle smile on her face, "You are not needed here, it's hot in the stove house, go outside to blow the wind." ”

Susie admired the strength of the old lady's heart a little, and the arbor came out and stood in the shade of the backyard to blow the wind.

After a while, Xu Zhiqiang came out of the back door and whispered to Susie: "I wronged you today." ”

He knew how strong Susie was, and if it weren't for her father-in-law and mother-in-law today, Susie would have had a seizure a long time ago.

She endured it and didn't get angry, all for his uncle.

Susie smiled at Xu Zhiqiang, "Uncle, it's nothing." ”

Xu Zhiqiang looked at Susie and said seriously: "Sissi, no matter when, Uncle is always on your side." ”

Susie really laughed now, she looked at Xu Zhiqiang and nodded, "Uncle, thank you." ”

Xu Zhiqiang patted off a leaf on her shoulder, "Let's go, let's eat." ”

The Zhu family, who ate one meal, was very satisfied.

There are fish, meat and chicken, which is very high.

After eating, the hall was cleaned up, and the old lady began to talk about marriage with Jiang Lian.

Qiao Mu didn't leave either, Susie was unhappy at home today, and he had to accompany her.

Susie sat next to the old lady, and Qiao Mu sat next to Susie.

The old lady smiled and said, "Zhu Lin, this girl's mother teaches her very well, and our family likes it very much." ”

"The marriage of the two of them, you can only say what you want."

Jiang Lian also smiled, "I mean that the marriage of the two of them will be discussed by themselves." ”

"Now it's a new society, it's all new things and new things, and the young people in our unit who do happy events have all received certificates, so please have a good friend for a meal."

She paused, "However, if the two of them want to live together, this house must add something." ”

"I have already prepared a few colorful satin quilts from Hangzhou for Linlin, and then I will buy them some things to live by."

The old lady calculated in her heart, this satin quilt is not cheap, dozens or hundreds of yuan, listening to this meaning, it seems that the marriage is two or three hundred.

The old lady said tentatively: "That's okay, then we will follow the local customs, and the bride price is generally given to our honest people in the countryside." She looked at Jiang Lian's expression as she spoke.

Seeing that Jiang Lian's face seemed to condense slightly, the old lady continued: "However, this city is different from our countryside, so I think I have to give a bride price of three hundred yuan." ”

After saying that, the old lady looked at Jiang Lian again, and the corners of her lips seemed to be upturned.

The old lady continued: "In addition to the bride price, buy a watch, a bicycle, and an electric fan for Linlin, these are all things that need to be used, and they can buy them well, and they can save themselves from spending money." ”

Jiang Lian understood, this is probably all the old lady intends to take out.

These things plus three hundred yuan, this is a few hundred, which is placed in Huijiang City, and few families can take it out.

However, Jiang Lian was still a little disappointed, she originally thought that the family used color TVs, so she had to buy a black and white TV for the young couple.

But the old lady didn't mention it, Jiang Lian couldn't say this.

Zhu Lin's sister-in-law, Lin Fang, was a shrewd person, and immediately said, "Auntie, why don't you buy a TV for their little couple?" ”

"I can't buy a color TV, so I have to buy one in black and white, right?"

The old lady didn't expect the Zhu family to make this request, thinking about it, it was the color TV at home that hit their eyes.

If you buy a TV set, it will cost a lot, and the TV will cost more than 500! It adds up to more than a thousand.

In these years, no family has spent so much money on marrying a daughter-in-law.

Zhu Lin saw that the old lady didn't speak, and said busily: "Auntie, I don't think there is any need to buy a TV, we are usually busy at work, how can we have time to watch TV." ”

These words made the old lady Xu Zhixia and Susie look at her with admiration.

This shows that Zhu Lin is sincere to Xu Zhiqiang, and she is not that kind of material girl.

Lin Fang glanced at Zhu Lin and glared at her quietly, this girl is really stupid, this is to fight for her more, she is good, pull her back.

Susie seemed to be a little embarrassed to see the atmosphere, and gently touched the old lady with her elbow, and there was no shortage of this at home, so she could buy it.

The old lady didn't want to use Susie's money, but she felt Susie's small actions, thinking that Zhu Lin was indeed a good girl, and her son was married for the second time, so she always bowed her head, forget it, just buy it.

She nodded, "Okay, then buy all these big pieces." ”

"I still have enough money here, but there are not so many tickets, I just give the money, and you can figure out the rest yourself."

Xu Zhiqiang didn't know what to say.

He knew very well that when the eldest brother got married, the family didn't take a penny, and the eldest brother himself did things in the capital.

The second brother got married, and he was sensible at that time, he remembered that he seemed to have taken a bride price of dozens of yuan, and a few pieces of cloth or something.

He knew that this money was his parents' pension money, and so much money must have emptied his mother's hands.

But he couldn't say anything against it in front of his parents-in-law, so he couldn't help but look at Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin understood what he meant and gave him a smile that reassured him.

After talking about the matter, the Zhu family got up and said goodbye, after all, they still had to go to the county seat to take a car, and it was estimated that it would be dinner time when they got home.

The old lady took a bag full of vegetables, cucumbers, eggplants, and beans, and brought them to the Zhu family.

The Zhu family returned satisfied.

In the evening, Xu Zhiqiang came out of Zhu's house after eating, Zhu Lin sent him downstairs, the two walked for a while, Zhu Lin whispered: "I have thought about it, let's get married, it is not appropriate for your family to take so much money." ”

"Your mother said that the money will be given to us, let us buy it ourselves, I think, I won't buy the TV, it's too expensive and not cost-effective, and I don't need to buy the watch, I haven't bought this watch for two years, it's still brand new."

"It's okay to buy a bicycle, it's convenient for us to go anywhere in the future, electric fan-"

Xu Zhiqiang said: "You have to buy an electric fan, aren't you afraid of heat?" ”

Zhu Lin smiled shyly, "Well, then buy it." ”

"Let's save the rest of the money and quietly return it to your mother later."

Xu Zhiqiang's heart was moved for a while, he suddenly thought that Yu Xue always asked him for money in the past, and he thought that he didn't give enough money.

He suddenly understood what sincerity was.

If you really like someone, you will think about him everywhere, instead of just thinking about how to squeeze him.

Xu Zhiqiang hugged Zhu Lin impulsively, "Linlin, you are so good." ”

Zhu Lin didn't expect Xu Zhiqiang to suddenly hug her, and the two talked for more than half a year, so they quietly pulled hands in a place where no one was.

A little familiar and a little unfamiliar manly atmosphere surrounded her, Zhu Lin only felt that her heart was beating fast, and her brain was dizzy.

Xu Zhiqiang held the person in his arms, his soft body and faint fragrance made him a little uncontrollable.

He couldn't help but lower his head, and then Zhu Lin suddenly pushed him away, his face turned crimson, and he said angrily: "What are you doing on the street?" ”

Xu Zhiqiang smiled innocently, "I didn't pay attention." ”

He grabbed Zhu Lin's hand, "Go to my dormitory and sit down, and I'll send you back later." ”

Zhu Lin lowered her head shyly, half-pushed, and followed Xu Zhiqiang.
