"Now it is a new society, and everything is new. The young people who handle weddings in our unit have obtained certificates and invite good friends to have a meal."
But he couldn't say anything against him in front of his parents-in-law, so he couldn't help but look at Zhu Lin.
But the old lady didn't mention it, Jiang Lian was hard to say.
She paused, "But, if the two of them want to live together, the family must buy something."
A somewhat familiar and strange manly aura surrounded her. Zhu Lin only felt her heart beating fast and her mind was dizzy.
"It's OK to buy a bicycle, but it's convenient for us to go anywhere in the future. The electric fan-"
"Your mother said that we would give it to us and let us buy it ourselves. I think I won't buy a TV. It's too expensive and not cost-effective. I don't need to buy a watch. I haven't bought this watch for two years, but it's still brand new."
Zhu Lin smiled shyly, "Well, then buy it."
Susie seemed a little embarrassed when she saw the atmosphere. She gently touched the old lady with her elbow. There was no shortage of this at home, so just buy it.
The old lady didn't want to use Susie's money, but she felt Susie's little moves. Thinking about it, Zhu Lin is indeed a good girl, and her son is married again, so she will be depressed. Forget it, just buy it.
These things cost 300 yuan, which is a few hundred yuan. In Huijiang City, few families can take them out.
Zhu Lin didn't expect Xu Zhiqiang to suddenly hug her. After talking for half a year, the two quietly pulled their hands in a place where no one was.
He knew very well that when his elder brother got married, his family didn't get a penny, so he got the matter in the capital.
The old lady said tentatively: "That's fine, then we will follow the local customs. The bride price of our wealthy families in the countryside is usually given 12." She said as she looked at Jiang Lian's expression.
"I'm still enough money here, but there are not so many tickets. I just give the money. You guys will find a way to do the rest."
Seeing that Jiang Lian's face seemed to condense slightly, the old lady continued, "But, this city is different from our countryside. I thought I would have to give a 300 yuan betrothal gift."
Nowadays, no family spends so much money on getting married.
Zhu Lin understood what he meant and gave him a smile that would make him feel at ease.
The old lady continued: "In addition to the dowry, buy Linlin a watch, a bicycle, and an electric fan. These are all things that need to be used. If they buy it for them, they will save them money themselves."
However, Jiang Lian was still a little disappointed. She originally thought that the family had used color TVs, so she had to buy a black and white TV for the couple.
The Zhu family returned home with satisfaction.
After the negotiations, the Zhu family got up and said goodbye. After all, they had to take a bus to the county town, and it was probably time for dinner to get home.
Xu Zhiqiang said: "You have to buy an electric fan. Are you afraid of heat?"
Susie sat next to the old lady, and Qiaomu sat next to Susie.
In the evening, Xu Zhiqiang came out of the Zhu family after dinner. Zhu Lin took him downstairs. The two of them left for a while. Zhu Lin whispered: "I have thought about it. It is not appropriate to get married to your family to get so much money."
When his second brother got married, he became sensible at that time. He remembered that he had received a few dozen yuan in betrothal gifts, and a few pieces of cloth or something.
"If you have any requests for the two of them, just say what you want."
Qiaomu didn't leave either. Susie was unhappy at home today, so he had to accompany her.
The old lady smiled and said, "Zhu Lin, this girl, has taught her very well, and our family likes it."
He couldn't help but lower his head. At this time, Zhu Lin suddenly pushed him away, her face flushed, and she said angrily: "What are you doing on the street?"
Xu Zhiqiang smiled silly, "I didn't pay attention."
He grabbed Zhu Lin's hand and said, "Go to my dormitory to sit down, and I'll send you back later."
Zhu Lin shyly lowered her head and pushed her back halfway and followed Xu Zhiqiang away.
