Chapter 287 Dowry and Dowry

Xiu'er, this, you take it, it's a dowry given to you by your uncle and aunt.

After eating, Zhang Shuzhen took out a red cloth bag from the kang cabinet and solemnly pushed it in front of Han Mingxiu.

Han Mingxiu was stunned for a moment, and then said, Auntie, didn't I say everything, you don't need to give me dowry, I don't lack anything, so keep this for my sister Hai Xing.

Zhang Shuzhen took her hand and stuffed the red cloth bag into her hand. She said firmly, Xiu'er, if your aunt gives it to you, you can take it. Sister Hai Xing, I have other plans.

Wang Wenyuan also said: Xiu'er, you can just take it, your parents are gone, Cui can't stand up again, and there is no elder to help you with the dowry, even if your uncle and aunt give it to you for your parents. it's...

When Han Mingxiu heard what her uncle said, she did not refuse, so she had to accept it.

She opened the cloth bag and saw a shiny chrysanthemum watch inside, which was the one Huo Jianfeng bought for his aunt when he came back the year before.

Seeing that it was the watch that Huo Jianfeng bought for her aunt, Han Mingxiu quickly put the watch back into her hand, Auntie, this is what Brother Jianfeng bought for you, I can't ask for it.

Zhang Shuzhen grabbed her hand and shoved the watch back to her.

You don't care who gave it to me, it's mine now, I have the final say, if I say it to you, you can take it, auntie, an old farmer, what are you doing with this foreign thing? It's all blind, let's talk about it. , I've been going up and down the mountains all day long. If I'm knocked and damaged, I won't feel sorry for me? With such a thing, I don't know where to put my hands and feet, and I can't do my work. Well, why don't I put it on for you.

However, this is Brother Jianfeng's filial piety to you. I really can't ask for it. Han Mingxiu wanted to let go and return the watch to his aunt.

However, the aunt clenched her hand so tightly that she was not allowed to break free.

The big aunt also knows that this is your brother Jianfeng's filial piety to the big aunt, and the big aunt will take his heart and get his heart. This watch is too precious, and it is really blind to leave the big aunt here, so you can take it... …”

The aunt stubbornly took her hand and shoved the watch into Han Mingxiu's hand.

Han Mingxiu gave Huo Jianfeng an embarrassed look.

Huo Jianfeng said: Mother gave you, you can take it, if you don't, she will feel uncomfortable.

Wang Wenyuan also said: Take it, you're getting married, our uncles and aunts don't have any good things for you to accompany you, this is the only thing you can get at home, if you don't want it, we The hearts of the two should not be over...

Yeah, Xiu'er, you can take it. If you don't want it, my mother will have to go out to borrow money and buy another piece for you. Wang Haixing also advised.

Everyone said so, and Han Mingxiu couldn't refuse any more. He took it over and said, Thank you, auntie.

There are more than a dozen Rolex in her space, including a pure gold gold watch, and there is no shortage of this big domestic chrysanthemum.

However, none of her watches can be worn out, but this one is fine!

Come on, I'll take it for you. When the aunt saw that Han Mingxiu finally accepted it, she smiled happily. She took the big chrysanthemum watch from Han Mingxiu's hand and helped her put it on her arm. Dai was chattering.

Don't look at this watch, your brother Jianfeng bought it for me two years ago. In fact, I haven't brought it ten times in total. I was afraid that it would be bumped, so I kept it in the kang cabinet. I'm not worried about it. Every day when I work on the production team, I always keep it in my heart. I'm afraid that a thief in the house will steal this watch from me... You don't know, wow, from Da Jianfeng When I bought this watch, my heart never calmed down, and now it's all over, I'll give it to you, I don't have to worry about it anymore...

Chaos raised his hand: I testify about this, my mother wore this watch to show off when someone in the village had a wedding, but she didn't usually wear it during Chinese New Year.

Fuck you, you are everywhere. The aunt saw her son exposing her old bottom, went up and slapped her son on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile.

Everyone laughed, and Han Mingxiu followed suit.

She could also see that this watch was still brand new. There was not even a bit of pulp on the dial and strap. It could be seen that my aunt was really reluctant to wear it for the past two years.

Then thank auntie. Han Mingxiu raised her arm, looked at the big chrysanthemum watch on her wrist, and thanked auntie with a smile.

Zhang Shuzhen was also very happy when she saw Han Mingxiu wearing the watch, and said with a smile: You see this good thing should be given to young people, and it looks good when worn, like an old lady of mine, with a wrinkled face, wearing such a good thing They're all blind.

After speaking, he took out another handkerchief bag from his pocket and pushed it in front of Han Mingxiu.

Xiu'er, this is the dowry gift your aunt gave you as Jianfeng's mother. You can't refuse it.

Auntie...

Xiu'er, listen to me first.

Seeing that Han Mingxiu was about to refuse, Zhang Shuzhen interrupted her first, and said emotionally, Jianfeng is my son, the flesh that fell from my body. Although he didn't grow up by my side, I always feel the most in my heart. He is the one who hurts, more than Hai Xing and Da Chao.

She glanced at Hai Xing and Da Lian, and said, Hai Xing and Da Lian grew up by their parents' side. They have basically never suffered or been wronged since they were young. But your brother Jianfeng is different. Growing up in the old Huo family, you probably know what kind of person his aunt is. The child must have been wronged there in those years. Although he didn't tell me, I can guess it.

Speaking of this, aunt's eyes turned a little red: Although I can guess, but I can't help it, he is the only male of the old Huo family, and he has to go back to the old Huo family, otherwise the old Huo family will die. In the end, his grandmother will definitely not live long.

Huo Jianfeng put his arms around his mother's shoulder, Mother, it's all in the past, don't talk about it, besides, am I not doing well now? Why are you excited to find such a good daughter-in-law as Xiu?

Zhang Shuzhen said, Although you are doing fine now, when my mother thinks about the hardships you have endured with your aunt in the past few years, my mother feels uncomfortable. Xiu, you probably don't know that I am the child bride of the old Huo family. , I was raised by Jianfeng's grandmother since I was a child. The old lady treated me as her own daughter. I couldn't just watch her die and leave her alone... So, I had to grieve my Jianfeng...

Huo Jianfeng hugged his mother even tighter, the tears in Zhang Shuzhen's eyes finally fell, she wiped it indiscriminately, and said, I sent the child out with my heart, and the child was forced to fifteen I just went out and went home. I have been home twice in all these years. I feel bad for it. I always wanted to do something for the child, but I was useless. Except for making a few pairs of shoes and making some cotton-padded clothes and trousers, I could do something else. There's nothing you can do.

Now, he is going to marry a daughter-in-law. I finally have a chance to help him with something. You don't know how happy I am in my heart. Son, I feel sorry for him even more...

As Zhang Shuzhen spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks...

Seeing auntie like this, why did Han Mingxiu refuse? He immediately took the hand-rolled bag and said with a smile: Then thank you auntie, I'll accept it, but don't cry, or I should think you'd be crying because you took out some betrothal money.

Zhang Shuzhen was very sad to say it, but when Han Mingxiu said it, she laughed again.

She glared at her and said angrily, You little girl, you are about to be a bride, why are you still like a child?

Stretching his neck in confusion, he stared at the handkerchief bag and said, Sister Xiu, open it up and see how much my mother gave you.

Han Mingxiu opened the handkerchief bag, and inside were neatly placed six sheets of ten yuan for the Great Unity, and six sheets of one yuan, a total of sixty-six yuan.

This amount of money is quite a lot in this era. After all, there are very few people like Sun Maowen's family who open their mouths for 300 yuan. Usually, when people marry a daughter-in-law, the dowry is 350 yuan, except for clothes.

The aunt gave her sixty-six dollars, which was more than enough and more than enough.

Huo Jianfeng was also very moved when he saw that his mother took out all of his family's money to give to his daughter-in-law. It's just that he is not good at expressing, and silently watches from the side, taking the mother's affection in his heart.

After that, the topic became easier, and they discussed the meeting on the day of the work. I also calculated how many tables of guests can come, how many warm sheds to build to accommodate the guests, and how many tables and chairs, how many tableware, how many pots and pans...

After lunch, Han Mingxiu went back with Huo Jianfeng.

They also have a dinner party in the evening!

Although they didn't want to participate in that dinner, but for Zhang He's lifelong happiness, they had to bite the bullet and participate.
