Chapter 1122 gift money
Generally speaking, there are two ways to receive wedding gift money.
One is to invite well-written and trustworthy elders to sit in a conspicuous place at the wedding banquet, receive gifts from relatives and friends, and record them in a book so that the newlyweds can return gifts later.
The other kind is more festive, that is, when the newlyweds are toasting, relatives and friends give red envelopes to the couple on the spot.
As for the method of sending red envelopes through payment software when instant online payment develops in the future, this method is not so popular at the moment.
As far as the first two are concerned, the former is relatively simple and convenient, while the latter is more festive and contributes to the wedding atmosphere.
After all, after toasting, you can hear congratulations and receive red envelopes, which is definitely the happiest thing for the newlyweds.
This is how Lu Shaoqiang did this wedding. The red envelopes from each family were handed over to the two of them personally, and then the bridesmaids on the side collected them in baskets.
Then after the wedding banquet is over, the couple will sort out the amount of the gift money together so that they can return gifts later.
However, Yao Xiaoyun did not immediately hand over the red envelope given by Lu Youcheng and his wife to the bridesmaid next to her. Instead, she held it in her hand with a look of surprise.
When she heard Lu Shaoqiang's question, she hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed the red envelope into his hand.
"Your clothes have pockets, you can carry them!"
Lu Shaoqiang took it in his hand with confusion, squeezed it with his hand, and couldn't help but change his expression.
too thin!
It's not like he hasn't received red envelopes from other people before, but none of them are so thin. If you just make a red envelope worth two or three hundred, it will at least be a little thick!
Are Lu Heng's family so stingy?
"wrong!"
Lu Shaoqiang's expression changed immediately. He pinched something hard, and the hardness was definitely not an illusion caused by banknotes.
Could it be?
He and Yao Xiaoyun looked at each other, both of them were surprised and confused.
After the toasting process was completed, there was a break in the middle. Lu Shaoqiang did not hesitate, left the hotel with the red envelope in his arms, and went straight to the ATM nearby.
In such a prosperous area of the city and close to restaurants, it is very simple to find a place to withdraw money.
It happened that the wedding was being planned a few days ago, and Lu Shaoqiang had withdrawn money here not once or twice, and he quickly found the place to withdraw money with familiarity.
Standing in the tempered glass room, Lu Shaoqiang opened the red envelope and saw the brand new bank card inside and a small note attached with the password written on it.
Feeling uneasy, Lu Shaoqiang gritted his teeth and stuffed the card into the ATM machine.
"Inquire!"
Take a deep breath and wait for the machine to buffer.
It was only a few seconds, but it seemed to Lu Shaoqiang that hours had passed.
When he saw the long series of numbers on the card's balance, he couldn't help but open his mouth so wide that it formed an O shape and could even fit an egg into it.
No one knew what Lu Shaoqiang was feeling at that moment.
You could only see from the reflection of the glass that he was shocked at first, and then his face became uncertain, turning green and white, and finally turned into a wry smile. He solemnly took his bank card and left.
In the evening, in the dead of night, all the guests dispersed, some went home, and those who had been arranged to stay at the hotel went to the hotel.
Yao Xiaoyun counted the amount of the red envelope and recorded it in the gift book.
Although she recorded it in a leisurely manner, in her heart, she still couldn't let go of the red envelope she received from her cousin Chen Rong during the day.
She took it out at that time and it was a bank card.
Generally speaking, wedding red envelopes are not too big for ordinary families like theirs. Even for very close relatives, they only give one or two thousand.
And this amount of money does not need to be deposited into the card before being sent.
Therefore, the amount in that card will definitely not be a small amount.
Lu Shaoqiang walked in drunkenly and lay on the bed, feeling weak.
The so-called wedding night is actually not as romantic as people think. After all, this is modern times, not ancient times.
Moreover, Yao Xiaoyun is still pregnant and is an adult. Lu Shaoqiang also knows how to behave, so tonight will probably be spent as usual.
Yao Xiaoyun got a glass of water from Lu Shaoqiang and sat next to him.
"Have you checked that bank card? How much is it? How could my uncle, aunt, and the others actually put it into the card before giving it to us?"
Hearing Yao Xiaoyun's inquiry, Lu Shaoqiang tilted his head and looked at her, as if he was half-delayed in his response after drinking too much. After a long while, he took out the red envelope from his pocket and threw it on the bed.
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
Yao Xiaoyun suddenly widened her eyes and asked stuttering: "How much more?"
Lu Shaoqiang turned over upset, took the red pillow and hugged his head, and said hummingly: "One hundred and fifty thousand yuan, not one penny too much, not one penny too little, just right."
After confirming the number, Yao Xiaoyun couldn't help but cover her mouth, picked up the card, and looked over it over and over.
At this time, her heart was racing and she couldn't stop for a long time.
Lu Shaoqiang was slapped and said, "Husband, why did they give us so much money?"
Lu Shaoqiang didn't say anything, just lying there.
Seeing that she couldn't get the answer, Yao Xiaoyun started thinking hard. After a while, her eyes lit up and she suddenly thought of the reason.
"Husband, did you lose a total of 150,000 yuan to your cousin's son last year?"
Lu Shaoqiang sat up upset and exhaled.
"I went to take a shower!"
Although he did not admit it, Yao Xiaoyun confirmed his suspicion through memories.
Lu Shaoqiang saved hundreds of thousands last year and planned to buy a car, but he lost it because of his gambling addiction.
Because of this incident, the relationship between the two families was a bit tense.
Even Yao Xiaoyun almost broke up with Lu Shaoqiang because of this incident.
Unexpectedly, my cousin's family actually gave the money back under the pretext of the wedding.
Thinking of this, Yao Xiaoyun's eyes flickered.
It seems that the cousin and the others sent him back intact, but if, if Lu Shaoqiang had not lost so much money last year, he might still retain his gambling habit.
With just these 150,000 yuan, I'm afraid I've lost almost all of it this year.
No matter how lucky you are, you can only keep half of it at most.
As for winning money?
Yao Xiaoyun shook her head. She had never seen many friends who often gambled and won.
So in total, the value of this red envelope far exceeds its own value.
After all, he helped Lu Shaoqiang quit gambling.
When Lu Shaoqiang walked out of the bathroom, Yao Xiaoyun pulled him to her side and looked at him tenderly.
"Shaoqiang, take some time and let's pay a visit to my aunt, uncle, and the others!"
Lu Shaoqiang's face was gloomy and uncertain. After a while, he sighed sadly and nodded silently.
When he nodded, something was thrust into his hand.
Under Lu Shaoqiang's puzzled gaze, Yao Xiaoyun smiled and said, "I'll give you the money to buy the car!"
Early in the morning, Lu Heng came to the window and opened it. The cold wind from Beijing poured into the window, making the people who stayed up late with their faces waxy and shiny sober up a lot.
There were more than ten people sitting in the hastily cleaned conference room. Except for Lu Heng, all of them were middle-aged men and women over thirty years old.
Lei Jun yawned, then stood up and clapped his hands.
"I ordered breakfast on Ele.me, millet porridge with steamed buns and rolls, etc. Let's continue chatting after eating!"
