Chapter 243: bride price

Chapter 243 Betrothal gift

“This is my eldest sister’s wish, let’s accept it.”

Song Moting spoke.

Jiang Xiaoxiao doesn't understand. She absolutely doesn't believe that Song Moting is greedy for money.

 She can absolutely trust Song Moting's character.

"I think it's better for me as my brother-in-law, so just accept it happily. You take advantage of this time to get your marriage certificate first. After a while, go to the department store to see if there is anything you want to buy. You're late. It may not be available yet.

By the way, I also put some candy coupons for you in the 50 yuan. You always need candy coupons to buy fruit candies.

The supply and marketing cooperatives may not have that many peanuts, melon seeds, etc. Maybe you can go to the market to take a look.

Recently, a small market opened next to our house. Although there are not many people, farmers from all around come here to sell things. Sometimes I can also see people selling melon seeds, peanuts and snacks. "

Jiang Yue and the others took an hour's leave. They had to go to work quickly now and could no longer argue with the couple here.

　　The two men left in a hurry.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and shook his head, this is the eldest sister!

Song Moting stuffed the money into Jiang Xiaoxiao's bag.

"You didn't see it. This was agreed upon by the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law. How sad you would be if you rejected them. Since the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law used your quota to come to work in the county, they probably feel bad too. .Always feel like they are taking advantage of you.

While they were getting married, the two of them probably wanted to make some compensation to their sister. Of course, this is what your eldest sister wants to express to you. Why should you refuse others thousands of miles away? We have collected the things now. Next time, we will find a way to buy something for my eldest brother-in-law and just return this.

You sometimes make the distinction too clearly. How can a family care about each other so much? "

 Song Moting took her and left.

The person holding the hand is honest and upright.

Not seeing so many people paying attention to them on the street, Jiang Xiaoxiao could only throw his hands away.

There is no such custom in this era, even a couple would not dare to hold hands like this on the street.

“I know, sometimes it is indeed my fault. I forget how kind-hearted my eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law are. If I get such a big favor, I will definitely feel uncomfortable. I know, I know.

I accept this money, and I accept it with peace of mind. This is the gift money my eldest sister gave me. Of course I have to keep it well and go shopping, and spend it all in a while. Comrade Xiao Song, please be careful, you will marry a prodigal daughter-in-law in the future.

 Be careful. It's not too late to regret it now. "

Jiang Xiaoxiao proudly raised the 50 yuan, stuffed it into his schoolbag, and patted the bag with his hand.

Song Mo Ting smiled, his heroic brows filled with pampering.

"How could you go back on your word? Isn't marrying a daughter-in-law just to help you lose your fortune? Don't worry, you can't lose everything. The ginseng in our forest field is still waiting for us to share the money. If we two together can It’s a lot of money. I’m taking advantage of my wife.”

　　At the moment when Song Moting was proud and called his daughter-in-law, he seemed to feel that this woman was finally his.

Song Moting rode on his bicycle and patted the back seat.

 “Come on, my wife, come up quickly, let’s go!”

The moment Jiang Xiaoxiao jumped into the back seat, the two of them simultaneously remembered a scene they seemed familiar with.

 Both men laughed.

 Thanks for the photos, they came to the county in advance a few days ago to take them. Otherwise, they would have been off work after a few hours of getting the photos.

Holding this piece of paper, the two people looked at the wedding photo of the two people side by side. They were both happy. They were married.

Although these wedding photos are all black and white, they represent that the two people have become an official couple.

Song Moting put the marriage certificate into Jiang Xiaoxiao's schoolbag and continued walking with her on his bicycle.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw that Song Moting was walking in the wrong direction. Wasn't this direction going to the post office?

“Comrade Xiao Song, aren’t we going to the department store? If I remember correctly, we were in the opposite direction. Your bicycle is going the wrong way.”

“Let’s go to the post office to get something first, and then go to the department store to buy something more.”

The two people arrived at the post office quickly. Song Moting took out a slip from his pocket and handed it to the staff. After a while, the staff took out a package and handed it directly to them.

 Have them sign and stamp the list. At this time, they must stamp their personal seals when receiving or sending things.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at the address above. It seemed that it was sent from Haishi.

She also knew that Song Moting's family had different backgrounds. Naturally, they had relatives and friends from all over the world.

　Including the old man and the old lady, how many comrades are there?

They are all over the country. It is estimated that because of their wedding, someone must have sent gifts.

Song Moting patted the package with a proud look on his face.

“Daughter-in-law, this is the betrothal gift I have prepared for you. You must take it back and take a closer look at what I have bought you.”

 He bought these things, which made Lao Dajin very fat. Grandpa's comrades helped, and his own hair helped a little.

In this day and age, even the post office has to find someone to help. Otherwise, within ten days and a half, these things may not be able to be sent, and there is a possibility that they will be damaged on the way.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was surprised, the betrothal gift! ?

 “My parents never asked for a bride price.”

Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi didn't mention the betrothal gift, mainly because it was a family like this, and it was pointless to talk about the betrothal gift with them.

Their family is not short of such money. The old lady has already opened her mouth and said that she must have three big items, thirty-six legs. As long as they return to Beijing, she will definitely buy them all.

Who are the old man and the old lady? They don't lack this little money, and they won't lie about this matter.

“Besides, my grandma told me that she had prepared three big items. I originally said I didn’t want them, but she still insisted on preparing them. In fact, watches, bicycles, and sewing machines are of no use to us now.

I mainly consider that once the two of us take the college entrance examination and are admitted to university, we will leave here in the spring of next year. It’s not a waste to prepare these things. Is it possible that we can move out by then? "

People of this era are very simple when they get married, and the bride price is not as high as it will be in the future.

 Of course there is also the issue of asking for betrothal gifts, but everyone wants to discuss it with each other.

 After all, no one is rich, and ordinary people may not be able to afford three big items, but if you don’t have three big items, you have to prepare at least one or two.

  Anyway, these are things that can be discussed.

These things are normal to outsiders, but for the two of them, they are really unnecessary now, because it is impossible for two people to build a lifelong home here.

 These things have become something external to them.

"I also told grandma that grandma prepared these things. We really don't need it now, but grandma said that we don't need it and that we should prepare it are two different things. After all, our family must be formal when marrying a wife, otherwise, it would be a bit sorry. Her grandson-in-law.

 That is respect! Out of respect for the woman, grandma said that everything was ready, but she would put it directly in northern Beijing. The new house in Beijing will be neatly tidied up for us so that we can live in it directly when we return.

  Anyway, that house was originally left to me by my grandma. So don't worry about that stuff. These things I got for you are from my heart, and they are the betrothal gifts I specially prepared for you. "

Jiang Xiaoxin felt warm. Women often say what they mean. They clearly say that they don't love money, even if there are no betrothal gifts. It doesn't matter if they don't have these gifts, as long as they are for love.

 But in fact, who doesn’t want to be respected and cherished by his husband.
