Chapter 243: A Thousand Things Just for the Son
The words were divided into two ends, coming out of the hotel, and on the way home, the father and son of the Cheng family were also preoccupied and silent.
Cheng Jia'an is also a person who has come over after all, although he has never seen anything in the world, and he is a little restrained at the dinner table, but he can still have some insight into human nature. Everyone is in a different position, and the confidence to speak is naturally very different.
In the final analysis, it is still a small word.
After a long time, Cheng Jia'an sighed deeply, thinking that there were still many hurdles to overcome when the child got married, and said with a little self-blame and helplessness between his eyebrows: "This person is poor, his ambition is short, and he is not so confident in saying anything." Jianghe, you have to make your own decision about this marriage. Let's not talk about what will happen after marriage, according to the custom of our Ganquan, marrying a daughter-in-law is to take a bride price, and this banquet must also be held, right? He is also the director of the bureau, and it is impossible to hold fewer banquets, but you also know the situation of our family, it is difficult......"
Cheng Jianghe kept frowning, thinking about his thoughts, he had already had ideas about these things, and at this moment he saw that his father was very embarrassed, so he said without thinking: "Dad, in fact, I have already thought about these problems. Everything is simple, I will go to my colleague to raise money for the bride price that should be given, and as for the banquet or something, it will be exempted if it can be exempted. ”
Cheng Jia'an glared, feeling that Cheng Jianghe was really a little whimsical, and said with a solemn face: "What are you talking about!" Is this something you want to avoid? We don't want this face, but how can people do it! The girl has given it to you, can you still hold a banquet? Isn't this a slap in the face for a director as big as a human family? ”
Cheng Jianghe's handsome face showed a little entanglement, and he drooped his head in frustration: "But the situation of our family is there, what can be done?" I only know now that it's really troublesome to get married, so don't you count it? ”
Hearing this, Cheng Jia'an was furious: "What about! Where did you learn to pick on the stinky problem of not moving? ”
Seeing his father getting angry, Cheng Jianghe habitually shrank his head, and quickly explained: "Dad, I'm not picking on a child, this is something I can't do!" ”
Cheng Jia'an frowned, thought for a long time, hesitated for a long time and said: "If Dad thinks of a way, go to the township to borrow some first, your aunt and uncle will be more relaxed." ”
Cheng Jianghe suddenly panicked, the situation at home is still unclear?
For his own marriage, he worked hard to hurt the people and money, which made him how to behave in the future, he hurriedly stopped: "Dad, forget it, my aunts and uncles have helped us a lot over the years, for a marriage, and then to disturb others, do I want my face anymore?" Besides, if you have that money for a banquet, it's better to leave it for your mother to treat her illness. ”
At this time, Cheng Jia'an was also in a dilemma and difficult to decide, and he held back for a moment, and then said sadly: "You kid, this can't do it, what else can you do?" ”
Cheng Jianghe gritted his teeth, and his eyes revealed a bit of perseverance, as if he had let go: "This matter, I'll go tell them, don't come forward, they already know about the situation of our family, so you have to be reasonable." ”
Cheng Jia'an shook his head, and hurriedly reminded: "Jianghe, you have to talk about it well, don't make a mistake!" ”
"I see!"
Cheng Jianghe nodded, his cold cheeks revealing a bit of stubbornness. At this point, marriage is to be married, but no matter how you get married, you can't ignore your own current situation, this is the bottom line.
Instead of smashing pots and selling iron to engage in superficial scenery, it is better to pick a pick.
Build your happiness on the suffering of your family, and you can't do this kind of white-eyed wolf thing to kill yourself.
So what should be said is like pouring beans on a bamboo tube, and telling the other party all in one go, whether it is shameless or ruthless, I can't take care of it.
We don't have any so-called houses, tickets, and banquets, people are just such a person, and they lose a hundred pounds of cleaning, you can look at it!
So, at the Meteorological Bureau Xu's house. When Cheng Jianghe expressed his attitude, the atmosphere of the Xu family fell into a strange situation.
Xu Dongmei covered her mouth in surprise, and Xu Huangsheng and his wife also looked at Cheng Jianghe dumbfounded, and they really couldn't figure out how such absurd words came out of the mouth of this gentle and bookish young man?
Just, it's a little ...... Bummer.
Listen to it, and tell you what you want!
Thinking about getting married without anything?
Empty gloves white wolf?
Looking at everyone's stunned expressions, Cheng Jianghe's handsome face couldn't help but blush and red, and it was really a little difficult for himself to say these cheeky words. But no matter how difficult it is, you have to explain it thoroughly, getting married will affect the family, what is it!
"Uncle, auntie. As I said earlier, I just want to report to you, whether you blame me for being brazen or ignorant of the rules. The bride price and the cost of the banquet are an insurmountable mountain for me, and I will definitely not be able to take it. ”
It took a long time for Mother Xu to come back to her senses, and she said a little angrily: "Then according to your meaning, this banquet will not be held?" Cheng Jianghe, how can you say such a thing. We know that your family is in difficulty, and we can do without the bride price, but how can this banquet be saved, do you let us marry our daughter without saying anything? How many people are going to laugh at us behind our backs! ”
Cheng Jianghe scratched his head anxiously and said, "Auntie, I don't mean not to do it, I just want to think if I can do it less, don't be too extravagant." ”
"That's impossible!"
Mother Xu waved her hand very dryly, and said angrily: "Your uncle is also a director, not to mention a lot of relatives and friends, this number of friends who come and go on weekdays is not a small number, who to invite and who not to invite, don't you have opinions?" Then how can we meet in the future! ”
Cheng Jianghe said in a snort: "I understand this, but my current situation really does not allow ......."
Cheng Jianghe's melancholy Xu Dongmei is very clear, if there is the slightest way, Cheng Jianghe will not say such annoying words with such a shy face. Looking at his sad appearance, Xu Dongmei's heart was worried, and she looked at Xu Huangsheng with a gloomy face on the side, and called out sadly: "Dad! ”
Xu Huangsheng was really a little angry about Cheng Jianghe's showdown, but looking at his daughter's pitiful appearance with tears rippling in her eyes, he couldn't stop feeling distressed, he tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "Jianghe, you have to know that we have just this one daughter, how can we not marry our daughter so simply." I also know that you really have no choice but to make such an unreasonable request to us. As a father, I'm angry, but as an elder I can understand that. ”
Cheng Jianghe hurriedly nodded and thanked him: "Thank you, uncle!" I know I've gone a little too far, and I hope you will understand. ”
Xu Huangsheng gritted his teeth and rebuked hatefully: "I watched Dongmei's infatuation with you, otherwise you would have been kicked out by me." ”
"Dad!" Xu Dongmei's face turned pale in an instant, and she screamed in panic.
"Humph!"
Xu Huangsheng raised his hand to stop Xu Dongmei's voice, and then said to Cheng Jianghe without a beak: "You listen to me!" Cheng Jianghe, we don't want the bride price, and we don't lack these. But the banquet cannot be left out, nor can it be held less. Otherwise, how can you make me embarrassed as a governor! If your man's family can't handle the banquet, my Xu family will do it, this is always okay, right? I have only one request......"
Cheng Jianghe's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly responded: "Eh, uncle, you say!" ”
Xu Huangsheng stared at Cheng Jianghe with burning eyes, and his tone was a little fierce: "You remember, you have to be nice to my daughter in the future, this is our greatest expectation as parents, if you live up to this, I won't spare you." ”
Xu Dongmei's tears on the side slid down movingly, and her lips trembled and she exclaimed, "Dad! ”
Cheng Jianghe glanced at Xu Dongmei affectionately, nodded earnestly and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will be good to Dongmei, and I will never give up in this life." ”
"That's good!"
Looking at Cheng Jianghe's sincere eyes, there was no trace of hypocrisy in them, and Xu Huangsheng's face softened slightly.
"But I have a request?" At this time, Cheng Jianghe said abruptly.
"What? Do you still have a request? Xu Huangsheng was stunned, and his mind couldn't turn for a while.
"Yes!"
Cheng Jianghe nodded affirmatively, and continued to stubbornly say: "Can I make a blank slip with you first for the banquet dowry?" I'll pay you all back. ”
Xu Huangsheng frowned tightly and hesitated: "Uh, what are you?" ”
Cheng Jianghe pursed his lips, his eyes were as clear as water with innate stubbornness, and he said sonorously: "Don't blame me, dignity, this is the only thing I can have, uncle, I hope you can understand." ”
Xu Huangsheng had a bit of strangeness on his face, and stared at Cheng Jianghe for a long time.
Marriage with a white slip?
It's the first time I've heard of this kind of "wonderful" request.
Face and dignity seem to mean the same thing, but the latter is more reflective of a person's moral standards.
Based on the understanding of this upright young man, Xu Huangsheng was still a little appreciative while being angry, at least he had a valuable backbone, not the hypocrisy of scruples about face, he sighed and said: "Okay, you not only have self-esteem, you also have a temperament, then follow what you say." ”
Cheng Jianghe's heart was relieved, as if he had unloaded a thousand pounds of burden, and nodded sincerely in thanks: "Thank you, really thank you for your understanding." ”
Xu Dongmei on the other side was already pear blossoms with rain, and she lay on Xu Huangsheng's shoulder and cried silently: "Mom, Dad, you guys are so good to me...... Woowoo woo ......"
In the autumn of that year, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the cinnamon was fragrant far away.
In this season full of infinite poetry, Cheng Jianghe and Xu Dongmei entered the palace of marriage as they wished.
On the day of the wedding, the wedding was luxurious and lively, and there was an endless stream of guests belonging to the Xu family. Compared with the Cheng family, it seems sparse and pitiful, that is, a group of relatives and friends from Li Xiumei and Qu Dashi in Huaimao Township arrived. The whole audience was naturally controlled by the Xu family, and the Cheng family was much more low-key.
As Cheng Jia'an said, people are poor and short-breathed, and people are soft-spoken, but as long as the children can live happily, it is not impossible for parents to be cattle and horses, not to mention their faces.
On that day, the newlyweds kowtowed three times in front of Li Xiulan's bed. The eldest grandson of the Cheng family finally got married.
Li Xiulan!
Is it time for you to wake up and see that the children you have raised are already able to support the sky......
