Chapter 230: The Dowry
Aunt He was overjoyed, there were tears in her eyes, she took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and cried in a low voice: "I will ignore me as an eldest sister in the future!" ”
Mrs. He glared at He Laosan: "Why don't you hurry up and comfort your eldest sister, I hurt you in vain when I was a child!" ”
He Laosan also felt uncomfortable.
When Mrs. He was young, she often quarreled with Mr. He, and the latter would do it, so she would sometimes return to her parents' house in a bad mood, and Mr. He would go to work to support the family, but there were a lot of children in the family but no one cared about them.
It all depends on Aunt He, who cooks and washes, and takes care of her younger brothers and sisters, so she is very prestigious in front of the He brothers!
Now that he is awkward with his eldest sister, He Laosan only feels that he is awkward with his mother, and he feels very uncomfortable.
So although he hasn't completely forgiven the other party, he still promised to follow normal relatives in the future.
Aunt He smiled happily, and pulled He Laosan to say a lot of heartfelt words, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but she ignored Chen.
The latter sat on the side, looked at He Laosan's relaxed expression, and sighed secretly in his heart.
After going back, He had already returned, and took back a small plate of persimmons, and handed them to the two with a smile: "Dad, mother, taste the taste of this persimmon, it's better than lazy persimmons!" ”
The original lazy persimmon also brought a small income to the He family.
If it was before, He Laosan and Chen must have been looking forward to it, but now, both of them have something on their minds, take the persimmon and eat it, and they only praise: "It's always sweet!" This layer of white is white sugar? ”
However, He Laosan lives in a private school, and often helps take care of it, but he also knows how to make persimmons, so he explained: "This is hoarfrost, and I said early that the persimmons are wrapped in a layer of this." ”
Chen let out an "oh" and stopped responding.
He Laosan also put down the persimmon and sat on the kang to think about his thoughts.
He Zao was surprised, thought for a while, put down the plate, pulled a chair and sat down, and asked calmly, "What is the matter with my grandmother looking for my father?" ”
He Laosan glanced at He Zao, and actually brought two points of flattery, and told Aunt He about asking for a dowry gift for Dabao.
He Zao raised his eyebrows.
Chen Shi also hurriedly said: "Zao'er, your aunt has wiped her tears, your father has no choice but to come down, Dabao is your eldest brother!" ”
He Laosan also rubbed his palms and smiled: "Your grandmother also takes some miles, let's not take more!" ”
I'm afraid she won't agree.
He Zao sneered and stood up: "What my father and mother agree to, why would I talk more!" ”
After speaking, he ignored people, raised his neck and walked out of the house.
He Laosan and Chen stared at him dryly.
"Baby, mother, we're angry, aren't we?" He Laosan asked with some hesitation.
Chen Shi rolled her eyes, in fact, she was not comfortable at this time, and glared at him: "Who made you promise to be so happy, and I won't say that I will come back to discuss it with the babies." ”
"Well, it's not just a matter of saying it, or I'll have to talk to a few kids. It's also a big deal......"
He Laosan said and lowered his voice: "We still hate her eldest brother earlier......"
"It's all over, it's still a big brother!" Chen glanced at him.
He Laosan stopped talking.
Of course, Chen's words are not popular, but they are the truth.
He Laosan began to sigh again, Dabao had just passed those days, and he couldn't eat well or sleep.
Now it's here again.
The Four Treasures and the Seven Treasures also knew that they still had to give Dabao a dowry.
Qibao stared at a pair of round eyes, his little face was tense, and he looked very imposing.
Sibao frowned and whispered to He Zao: "Then Cui Dabao is a leech that sucks human blood. ”
There were no leeches in the north, but he read and listened to many things that he had never heard of before, and knew that the weather in the south was warm and there was a lot of water, but there was a kind of greedy leech, which would suck people's blood, and if it was serious, it would kill people, and it was much more terrible than mosquitoes.
Only He Chun'er remained silent.
Seeing her turn around and walk away, He Zao quietly glanced at Sibao.
The latter shut up and said no more.
In the evening, Sanfang held another family meeting, but it was said that the dowry for Dabao was a thing, since he promised Aunt He, it could not be changed, and now the key is how much is appropriate.
Qibao opened his mouth angrily: "I won't give a penny." ”
He Laosan was weak-hearted, and he didn't lose his temper with his youngest son, but only scratched his little nose: "You penniless iron rooster!" Dad usually gives you a penny to spend? ”
Shippo puffed out like a small oil pot.
Sibao said with a straight face: "How much does my grandmother take?" ”
He Laosan said: "It's probably only a few taels of silver, and there is no silver in the old house." ”
He Zao and Sibao glanced at each other, and then spoke: "Then we take the same as my grandmother, our countrymen, the dowry is five or six taels in the sky, and the town also goes according to this ceremony, besides, now that the eldest brother has gone out, we can't give too much, otherwise let my aunt think, my grandma is an elder, let's follow the elders to be the same, and we will not be more polite!" ”
What He Zao said is very reasonable.
However, He Laosan was still hesitating: "Your grandmother doesn't think you can get much money......"
He still doesn't think he's taking much.
The rest of the people exchanged glances, and they all knew He Laosan's thoughts.
He Zao said: "Dad, if you don't like it, you go and ask the master, see what the master says." ”
He Laosan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That, that's an elder, it's right for us to follow." ”
The rest of the words, he didn't say any more.
After sitting for a while, he really went to the old mansion.
I don't know what the two of them talked about, but after coming back, He Laosan sighed for a long time, and then said to Chen: "You all say so, then let's follow her grandmother to get it." After a pause, he spoke: "Our father is going to take five taels of silver." ”
Five taels is not a small amount for the old house.
Chen Shi was a little surprised: "Our mother actually agreed?" ”
He Laosan nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Our mother has always hurt Dabaoli!" ”
However, Mrs. He was not very happy when she heard that they were also going to take five taels of silver, but this was set by Mrs. He, and she was not too noisy.
Dabao was passed away, and until now, Mrs. He is still empty-hearted.
Chen was clear, and then thought that when he was counting the days, the old house family and even Aunt He followed the mountain to knock the cypress, and went around the scorpion at night, which could be regarded as earning a lot of money, and all the money was in the hands of Mrs. He.
Thinking of this, she said: "This year's old mansion is going to be better." ”
He Laosan understood what she meant, and hesitated, as if he was very embarrassed: "You say, we have a smart brain, can we also think of a way to do business for the old house?" ”
Chen was packing up his clothes and taking them to the private school to wear, and when he heard this, he glanced at him.
He Laosan was still frowning and thinking, not knowing if his little daughter would agree.
