Chapter 48: Dowry Negotiations

Ice packs on the ground are picked up and washed in a basin of water.

"Niu, how much?" The old lady asked Li Xiaoxia.

"One pack of four pieces of five, three packs of thirteen pieces of five." Li Xiaoxia said.

The old lady took out a handscroll, opened it layer by layer, and gave 14 yuan to Li Xiaoxia.

There is a clothesline in the yard with a few towels on it.

Li Xiaoxia wiped her hands with a pink towel and went back to the West House to find change.

When picking up the ice pack just now, Li Toyota's hands were wet, so he walked to the clothesline and wiped his hands with a pink towel.

Li Xiaoxia came out of the house, took out the five-corner change, and the old lady pushed the three wheels away.

Turning around, she found that Li Fengtian was wiping her face with her towel, Li Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, and then blushed.

Pink is her special towel, which she used to wipe herself when she took a shower in the tub last night.

Today, the sun was good, and she hung on the clothesline to dry, not wanting to be wiped by a strange man.

Li Xiaoxia was ashamed and angry, and ran over to take away the towel. kicked Li Toyota hard and ran back to Westinghouse in one go.

This kick is not light, it hurts Li Fengtian to bare his teeth, this girl is a psychopath, right?

When the pain is gone, move your ankles and go to Westinghouse to find a shy girl, whose facial features are eight points similar to Li Shun.

"You are Li Shun's sister? I'm looking for him, can you tell me where he is? Li Toyota said.

Li Xiaoxia turned her back to him, gritted her teeth and did not speak.

After being silent for half a minute, Li Toyota also blushed, it turned out to be the girl's bath towel.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your bath......"

"Shut up! My brother is discussing the wedding date in Lijia Village! Li Xiaoxia covered her ears, and the deer in her heart collided.

"Thank you, I'm sorry." Li Toyota hurriedly flashed.

After a few minutes, Li Xiaoxia felt soreness and hurriedly sat on a stool to rest.

secretly scolded the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes just now, who looked like a decent gentleman, but was actually a nasty ruffian.

Li Toyota took a three-wheeled motorcycle to Lijia Village, and his mood was a little depressed.

In the morning in Bianjing, he first slapped the cheating girl, and then knocked down the three thieves with three punches.

As soon as I arrived in Lan County, I made a big red face, first scolded by the chick, and then kicked by the chick, which was really embarrassing.

When the motorcycle came to Lijia Village, Li Fengtian paid the fare and saw a young man coming this way.

"Hello brother, where is Li Shun's home?"

"Go forward to the fifth house, and the gate facing east is Brother Shun's house."

"Thank you, brother."

"There is no one in his family, and Brother Shun is discussing marriage at the branch secretary's house."

"I'll wait for him, thank you, brother."

At the home of Han Zheng, the village party secretary, the courtyard was full of people, watching the brand-new motorcycles, color TVs, washing machines and sewing machines.

"Look at the dowry of the daughter of the Han family, more than 10,000 for the four major pieces, right?"

"It's not that expensive, Dr. Cai said it's less than seven thousand."

"Good guy, I dare to say that within a radius of 100 miles, there is no second family willing to spend 7,000 to give their daughter a dowry."

"Old Ma, you are lonely. The dowry was nominally purchased by the Han family, but in fact it was paid by Li Shun. ”

There was an exclamation in the crowd, the Li family was so poor three months ago that they couldn't open the pot, why did they suddenly make a fortune?

"Old Ma, what kind of business did Li Shun do, and suddenly made a fortune?"

"Li Shun is a carpenter, is it difficult to make a fortune?"

"Shunzi has a future, and this year's outstanding young man should be Li Shundang."

"That is, Li Fang has been in office for three years in a row, and it's time to change people."

In the house, the Han family and the Li family are discussing marriage.

Including the date of the wedding, whether it is an auspicious day of the zodiac.

How to marry a bride, use eight sedan chairs or bicycle teams.

How many guests the woman comes, how many tables the man prepares.

"Xiaoshun, what kind of wedding car are you going to use?" Han Zheng asked.

"I'm looking for a Santana." Li Shun decided to borrow Song Qiang's car as a wedding car.

The Han family was very happy, and Cai Lian smiled from ear to ear.

Other people's daughters get married on bicycles, and my daughters ride in cars.

"What's the return gift for your maiden guest?" Han Zheng asked again.

According to the wedding rules of Lan County, the woman's relatives and friends come to the banquet, and after the banquet, they will take away the red envelope, that is, they will take it with them.

Wrap a boiled egg in a red hand roll and put a dime coin, which is a red envelope.

In the case of families, each family is given a package.

"Two bags of instant noodles, two dimes, good things come in pairs." Li Shun said.

Marriage and pregnancy are two good things, and Li Shun wants to please the baby.

"Okay, haha." Han Zheng smiled.

The richer the red envelope, the more face Han Zheng has in front of the Han family's relatives.

"No! Just wrap a hard-boiled egg and a dime. Han Ying categorically rejected Li Shun's proposal.

Although the Santana for the wedding car is luxurious, the beneficiary is Han Ying, which she can accept.

The beneficiaries of the red envelopes are relatives of the Han family, and Han Ying is reluctant, two bags of instant noodles are much more expensive than one boiled egg.

Everyone laughed, Li Mu and Du Rou were the happiest, and it was a good thing for the daughter-in-law to be diligent and thrifty.

"Do what Yingying wants, a dime for a boiled egg." Cai Lian immediately made a decision, and she didn't want to cheap those relatives.

After the marriage-related matters were decided, Li Mu and Du Rou said goodbye, and Han Zheng left Li Shun.

The melon-eating crowd dispersed, and Han Ying hugged Cai Lian's arm and coquettishly:

"Mom, my brother bought the four major pieces of dowry, and you and my father will also give me a dowry."

The old couple rolled their eyes at the same time, and the girl with her elbow turned out was too annoying.

"Give you five thousand dollars, or buy you five thousand dollars." Han Zheng let his daughter choose one of the two.

"Don't need money, buy me a farm tricycle. With a car, my brother can go to the countryside to deliver goods and earn more money. ”

Han Ying continued to be coquettish:

"Mom, I want the kind of tricycle that sits two people at the same time and has a cab, and the wind can't blow and rain when delivering goods."

"You sell me, use the money from selling me to buy a tricycle." Cai Lian rolled her eyes angrily.

A tricycle with a cab is too expensive to buy without seven thousand dollars, at least two thousand more expensive than one without a cab.

"I'm good mom, Yingying, please." Han Ying hurriedly hammered Cai Lian's back and pinched her shoulder, and Cai Lian dodged vigorously.

There was a lot of laughter in the room, and Hanwha sat next to him eating melons, laughing from time to time.

"My brother spent seven thousand to buy four major items! Dad, it's fair to buy a tricycle for 7,000 yuan! Han Ying began to make trouble with Han Zheng.

Han Zheng had a splitting headache, ignored his daughter, turned his head and asked his son-in-law:

"What do you mean, kid?"

"It doesn't matter, it's not my turn to intervene when you're preparing a dowry."

Of course, Li Shun wants to bring the cab, but the Han family's purchase of a car for their daughter is an unexpected joy, and they can't ask for too much.

There is no fixed standard for dowry, the Han family can give seventy, and it is okay to give seven thousand.

"I can buy a tricycle with a cab, but I'll only pay five thousand, and you will borrow the rest."

Han Zheng proposed a compromise condition, if he needed 7,000 to buy a car, Li Shun owed Han Zheng 2,000.

"I borrowed it." Han Ying answered immediately.

"That's not good, it can only be counted on the head of the straight." Han Zheng is not a girl.

The money is lent to the daughter, and the daughter can not pay it back.

If you lend money to your son-in-law, your son-in-law will have to repay your debts, which is the rule.

"Yes, thank you, uncle." Li Shun has no money now, so it's better to buy the car first.

Buy a car one day earlier, open up the countryside market one day earlier.
