Chapter 345 The dream is to improve the status quo
After hearing this, Ling You couldn't help but feel that he was speechless by Aunt Fang's words. Yes, this is the current situation of today's society. When young people from ordinary families get married, especially if they live in the city, they almost have to pay
The parents of both parents have cleared their pockets, house prices are getting higher year by year, and commodity prices are getting higher year by year. There is a saying in Jiangning Province regarding betrothal gifts, which is called "three catties and three taels, three gold and one ring."
Three kilograms and three liang means that the money should be put on the scale and weighed. It weighs exactly three kilograms and three taels. Calculated according to the standard of a hundred yuan bill per gram, these three kilograms and three liangs are about 150,000 to 60,000 yuan.
Look.
As for three golds and one ring, three golds describe gold earrings, gold rings, and gold necklaces, and one ring represents a car; this is what the man wants to give.
As for the woman's dowry, in addition to some folk items such as red pillowcases and red sheets, she either shares the cost of the house with the man's family, or pays for the decoration of the house.
So basically, if a young couple wants to live a good life and get married early, their parents almost have to prepare money early.
Ling You looked at Aunt Fang with some distress, and then at the other aunts and ladies, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. These simple farmers and ordinary people, exposed to the wind and sun all day long, went out early and came back late just for the sake of their children.
Living better with my family.
So Ling You said: "Then you should also pay attention to your health. When you are sick, nothing matters." He felt that what he said was very feeble, because he knew that these people would not care about his words.
If he wanted to, he would put down the farm work in his hands and go home to take care of himself; but all he could do was say these few words of care and concern.
And similarly, it was at this moment that he became more determined to go to a poorer place. He wanted to use his own efforts to change something, and wanted these simple ordinary people to get something because of their efforts.
Improvements in life are tangible changes, not statistical changes.
At this time, the door of the west wing of the small courtyard opened. Ling Yun looked at the situation in the courtyard with sleepy eyes. When she saw Ling You, she rubbed her eyes and walked over.
"Brother, you got up so early." After saying that, he turned around and said hello to the women who were either called aunt or aunt.
Several women also looked at Ling Yun with doting looks on their faces, and an older lady said: "This girl Yun is doing really well, she is so beautiful."
Another aunt also echoed: "Yes, I still remember when I was a child, I loved to cry. When spring comes, my little face will be red and fleshy. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the two brothers and sisters have grown so big. We
I am old, and these years are really unforgiving."
Aunt Fang sighed after hearing this: "It would be great if Mr. Guangbai was here. He would be so happy to see these two eldest children, each one more promising than the other."
As soon as these words came out, several people thought of Ling Guangbai's voice and smile, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Aunt Fang also realized that she shouldn't say this, so she hurriedly said: "Look at my mouth, I can't open any pot, anyway.
Ah, you brothers and sisters
You two, no matter how far you go or how high you fly, don’t forget that Yungang Village is your home. No matter when you come back, as long as we are still alive, no matter who we go to
Just take a bite of hot rice."
Ling You grabbed Aunt Fang's hand and nodded: "Yungang Village is our roots, no matter how far we go, we will always come back; but you, you must also take care of your health, and don't break your promise. If we, brother and sister, can't protect both of us, we will come back."
I’m going to have dinner at one of your houses.”
After hearing this, several people laughed out loud, but their expressions were a bit heavy. Apart from the smile, Aunt Fang's eyes were clear.
The Lingyou brothers and sisters have been without mothers since they were young. It was the aunts and ladies in the village who gave them the maternal love they lacked, so to them, these people are their relatives.
Ling You then said to Ling Yun: "Xiao Yun, go get some medicine for treating rheumatism from some aunts and aunts. It's still the same old problem. Those medicines are listed in the medical records."
Ling Yun nodded when he heard this: "Okay, brother, I'll go right away."
After saying that, Ling You thought for a while and stopped Ling Yun and said, "Set up another table next to Grandpa Wei. Grandpa Wei and I will see the doctor together."
After Ling Yun heard this, he responded without looking back: "I know."
Then Ling You took the hands of several aunts and said: "Come on, go into the house, and I'll take your pulse again."
After hearing this, several people followed Ling You in with smiles.
Throughout the morning, Ling You and Wei Shuyang each held a table for medical consultation, while Ling Yun was busy grabbing medicine, so this time was saved a lot. It turned out that Wei Shuyang was busy until the afternoon, and it was just noon today.
All the people who came to see the doctor dispersed.
When Ling You saw that everyone was gone, he stood up and straightened his back. When he saw that there was no water in the tea cup on Wei Shuyang's consultation table, Ling You went to refill the water and brought it back.
Wei Shuyang leaned on the back of the chair, picked up the tea cup and blew the foam on it, and then said: "Don't be too busy, I will clean up myself. Go to Yuyang early. You will return to the capital early after finishing your work. Don't delay.
Let’s get down to business.”
Ling You said while packing up the items on the consultation table, "It won't be long now, there's no rush."
Ling Yun was sweeping the floor at this time, and then he heard a car parked at the entrance of the courtyard.
Ling You thought that another patient was coming, so he said without raising his head: "Xiao Yun, go hang up the sign saying the clinic is closed later and let Grandpa Wei rest."
Ling Yun put down the broom in his hand and looked over. After seeing the people getting out of the car clearly, Ling Yun greeted them with a smile.
After a while, a burst of laughter was heard entering the room.
"Sister Qin, why did you come so fast?" Ling Yun said with a smile.
After hearing this, Ling You also put down the things in his hands and walked to the door. When he saw Ling Yun and Qin Zhen hugging each other clearly, Ling You was surprised and asked: "Why are you here?"
When the two girls heard Ling You's words, they both looked over and heard Qin Xian say: "What? Aren't you happy that I'm here?"
Ling You waved his hand and explained with a smile: "No, I mean, how did you know I was here."
But after saying this, he immediately reacted, then pointed at Ling Yun and said: "There is a spy among the people. It was you who made the report."
Ling Yun stuck out his tongue at Ling You: "There are many things you don't know between us sisters."
At this time, Qin Xian walked over, came close, hugged Ling You's arm, and said coquettishly: "I knew you were back last night, so I went there early in the morning."
Hearing this, Ling You smiled and scratched Qin Geng's nose with his finger and said, "Then I will reward you with a little red flower."
At this time, Ling Yun looked at the intimacy between Qin Xian and Ling You, opened his mouth, pointed at the two of them, and couldn't speak clearly: "No...you...you, what is going on?
