Gogarin didn't care, but he always felt that the bad custom of bride price was not like marrying a daughter, but like selling a daughter.

"If your dad doesn't want a bride price, let's use the money to buy a small yard in the county, okay?"

"Hmmm! Well! Liu Qiaozhen nodded again and again, already looking forward to the happy life of herself and Gao Jialin.

Liu Qiaozhen had to help Gao Jialin with his luggage, but he didn't listen to any persuasion. In the end, Gao Jialin had to compromise, and the two of them pulled the luggage together, and one pulled half of it, so they entered the village with a smile.

Liu Qiaozhen and Gao Jialin are now thick-skinned and fearless. Let the villagers point fingers, they should not have seen it. Even when they meet acquaintances, they greet people warmly.

"Aunt Hua, you're busy! You see Galingo just came back, just came back from BJ! ”

"Yes, we just came back from BJ, and we met at the entrance of the village!"

"Uncle Fulu, okay! Your bones are getting tougher and stronger! I just got back from BJ and haven't even made it in! ”

"Sister Caiyun, okay! Look at whether my silk scarf looks good or not, Galingo specially brought it to me! ”

……

There is a kind of thing in this world called: as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen deeply realized this. The two of them were smiling brightly, but the villagers opposite them lowered their heads and squinted their eyes, at a loss. Even the gossip of them whispered to others, and they no longer dared to mumble in front of them.

Liu Qiaozhen sent Gao Jialin home, said hello to Gao Yude and his wife, and then jumped and walked home.

Seeing that the two of them were so blatant, Gao Yude and his wife could only sigh and dare not say more. Then they put their enthusiasm on welcoming their son.

Mother was constantly busy, bringing Gogarin a hot towel to wipe his face, bringing him food, changing his clothes, and being busy from beginning to end.

Gao Yude looked at his son with a smile, listening to him tell him about the things on the road, BJ's observations, and he praised and commented on each other

"Oh, then you have to remember the kindness of others!"

"You're right!"

"Dad is the same idea as you!"

"It must be beautiful!"

……

Every word and word that Gogarin said was firmly in his heart. My son has a future, and he went to BJ, saw Tiananmen Square, and paid tribute to the great man. It's amazing to know such a great editor and such a good professor!

After saying that, Gogarin took out some of the supplies he had bought in the city as gifts. Mirrors for my mother, leather shoes for my father, soap, combs and so on.

These things surprised the parents again and again, and they were carefully put away, saying that they were for Gogarin's marriage. Gao Garin smiled bitterly, saying that these were specially bought for the second elder, and he still had money to get married.

Speaking of this, Gao Garin opened his backpack, opened the mezzanine, and showed the six hundred yuan to the second elder. In this era, there were no hundred-dollar bills, and the largest face value was ten dollars. 600 yuan is 60 sheets, a thick pile.

Gao Yude had never seen so much money, so he was startled, and hurriedly ordered his mother-in-law to close the courtyard door, which made Gao Jialin cry and laugh.

"Dad, there's not much money here, it's only 600, don't be so nervous. How can we recruit thieves in this broken cave? And mom went out in a panic like this, didn't she want to cover it up? ”

Although Gao Yude didn't understand the four words of wanting to cover Mizhang, he could understand what Gao Jialin meant, and hurriedly called out to his mother-in-law.

"Our baby is right, if you go out and close the door in a panic like this, a fool can see the problem! Sit, don't come out, I'll go out and see! ”

Gao Yude pretended to be casual, went out of the house with a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth, smoked a few puffs of cigarettes in the courtyard, pretended to be fine, and looked left and right. He pretended to close the courtyard door inadvertently, and then took a step and slowly returned to the cave.

Seeing his father's anti-tracking method used here, Gao Garin couldn't help but burst into laughter. But also, at this time, 600 yuan is equivalent to 100,000 yuan in later generations, which is not a small number at any time!

When Gao Jialin saw his father coming back, he took out 300 yuan from 600 yuan and handed it to him, saying that this was the bride price that Liu Li originally wanted.

Gao Yude took the money and handed it directly to his mother-in-law, asked him to put it away, turned his head and said to Gao Jialin: "Liu Liben's goods are not a thing, we don't give him so many dowries, there is no such price!" Gao Minglou has told me, let me rest assured and boldly let the matchmaker come to the door again, and he will talk to Liu Liben about the bride price. ”

Gao Garin wanted to persuade his father, but seeing that the old man was very stubborn, he had to put this matter down first.

Of the remaining 300 yuan, Gogarin took 100 as his daily expenses. The remaining 200 was given to the second elder, meaning that they should clean up the cave again.

Hearing that the cave was cleaned up, Gao Yude and his wife came to their senses. Gao Yude meant to add some more money to rebuild two caves. Gogarin, however, objected.

"Mom and Dad, I don't think there's any need to build a new cave. Now that the framework of the cave is fine, we just need to clean it up. ”

The mother was clearly against it.

"Baby, you have to have a new cave when you get married, where does the bride live!"

Gogarin hesitated, but finally spoke his mind.

"Mom and Dad, I want to buy a yard in the county town, and I will live in the city after I get married."

"What? You want to live in the city? "My mother was a little reluctant.

Father Gao Yude can think about it.

"Oh, you, you old woman, what do you think all day long. The baby is about to go to work in the county, of course, to live in the city. ”

Gogarin patiently spoke his mind.

"Mom, I want to go to the county seat to live, one is for convenience. There are often phone calls and emails, and it is very inconvenient to run around all the time. And there is no electricity in the village, so I write with an oil lamp every day, and my eyes are almost glazed. ”

"Secondly, there are too many idlers in the village, gossiping about me and Qiaozhen all day long. It's annoying. It made me feel restless, and I couldn't write properly. And this time my novel is about to be published, and I should be listed in the Writers' Association and Cultural Center at that time, and it will be more convenient to live in the county seat. ”

Gao Yude didn't wait for Gao Jialin to finish his reason, and he opened his mouth in agreement.

"Yes, the doll is right! Good men are ambitious in all directions, how can they stay at home all day long! Baby, what are you sad about, the county seat is more than ten miles away from here, you can go see him at any time if you want him! ”

Of course, the mother understands these truths, but when her son is old and has to leave home, she can't help but feel a little sad.

In this way, the matter of renovating the cave was vetoed by the second elder. No matter how much Gao Garin persuaded him, the second elder did not agree. Gogarin can't help it, anyway, he doesn't have much money now, and when the new novel is published, he will have a lot of income, and then he will persuade him!

The news that Gao Garin returned from BJ so soon spread throughout Gaojia Village. Of course, there are good ones, but more often than not, Gogarin can't get along in BJ and was returned by others.

Gao Jialin didn't bother to pay attention to these rumors, but Liu Qiaozhen was always indignant for him.

Gao Jialin comforted: "Qiaozhen, you can't make sense of these people, so you don't pay attention to them." My mother said that if you ask a matchmaker to come to the door to propose, you will also do your father's work in advance, don't make things stiff again. I can secretly add the bride price money to him, but he doesn't want to make my dad angry. If the two sides are stiff, we won't be able to do anything. ”

Liu Qiaozhen nodded again and again, this is related to her lifelong event, God blocks and kills God and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, even if it is her father, she can kill her relatives in righteousness. I plan to follow Gao Garin's words, go back today and cry and make trouble, and definitely get my dad done.

Gao Jialin said, "Qiaozhen, I plan to go to live in the county seat when I get engaged." I've been busy revising these two manuscripts lately, don't you have relatives in the city? I'll give you a mission to go around the city and see if there's a suitable little yard. Be clean, quiet, not too big, enough for the two of us. You can take the rest of your mind. ”

Liu Qiaozhen is happy and a little shy, which means that she has to choose a new house for herself. Thinking of this, Liu Qiaozhen couldn't help but blush and showed a bright smile.

The next day, at the urging of Gao Jialin, the matchmaker once again came to the door of Liu Liben's house. Gogarin was at home while revising the manuscript while waiting for the result.

In the afternoon, the matchmaker came. As soon as he saw Gao Yude, he began to complain about Liu Liben.

"Oh, you don't know how stubborn that guy Liu Liben is, so he doesn't listen to what he says!"

Gao Jialin's heart sank, Liu Liben won't still bite the 300 yuan bride price, right? Their family is not short of money, is this deliberately difficult for themselves?

The matchmaker suddenly changed his voice, "If it weren't for my matchmaker Wang who has been a matchmaker for more than ten years and has rich experience, I would have been scared by him a long time ago." ”

Gao Jialin's heart was put down, and he complained in his heart: This matchmaker is really annoying, she speaks up and down, and fools people!

Sure enough, the matchmaker next said Liu Liben's conditions.

"That Liu Liben said that their family is also a family with a family, and Qiaozhen is a good girl from ten miles and eight towns, so a bride price of 300 yuan is indispensable."

When Gao Jialin heard this, he saw that his father Gao Yude already had a tendency to riot, so he hurriedly grabbed him and motioned for him to listen.

Sure enough, the matchmaker's speech turned again.

However, this 300 yuan bride price is just a face-saving walk. You give the bride price money to Liu Liben, and he will give it to Liu Qiaozhen when he turns around, so that the two children can buy a house. ”

Hearing this, Gao Jialin finally became happy, Gao Yude also smoked his cigarette pouch, nodded and replied: "Okay, we will agree to his family's conditions." The rest of the parents of both sides meet and discuss the banquet, all of which are troublesome to you! ”。

When the matchmaker saw that it had been done, she was very happy.

"Haha, I think Qiaozhen and Garin are a match made in heaven. I say this matchmaker, not to make money, but to promote a good marriage. Look at these two children, one is tall and handsome, the other is handsome and beautiful, one is a great writer, and the other is a virtuous helper, the two of them are together, and their lives must be prosperous and beautiful! ”
