Chapter 16 Dowry

When Gao Yuan heard that Tan Xiaohui thought he was going to ask her parents to marry her to him, he couldn't help but feel funny and touched. What was funny was how could he be so reckless to propose marriage after only a few days of knowing her? What was touching was that Tan Xiaohui was so...

Thinking about it means that she has promised him her heart.

Gao Yuan said: "Junior sister, how do you know that I want to ask your parents to marry you to me?" Tan Xiaohui was stunned: "Then what do you want to ask for?" Gao Yuan said: "Junior sister, I don't want to ask for anything, I was joking.

." Tan Xiaohui's face immediately showed displeasure, and she pursed her lips and said, "Have you ever joked like this?"

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to get angry again, and she couldn't help but feel anxious: "Look, I believe everything I say. In fact, I'm not kidding. I really want to go to your house, but I'm afraid your parents won't welcome me." Tan Xiaohui said happily: "

As long as I welcome you, my parents will welcome you."

Gao Yuan didn't know whether he was happy or worried. He knew that he only wanted to make Tan Xiaohui happy, but he had gone too far. Now, he had to follow Tan Xiaohui to her home.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the two rushed to Pengxi. Tan Xiaohui took him to the door of his house and rang the doorbell. After waiting for a while, the door did not open. Tan Xiaohui pressed it again, and after a while, the door opened. The person who opened the door was a man with a face.

Tan Xiaohui, a fair-skinned middle-aged woman with a quiet expression, shouted: "Mom, I'm back." Tan's mother said: "Come in quickly." The two entered the house, Gao Yuan called aunt, and Tan's mother smiled happily: "Xiaohui, he

Who is he?" Tan Xiaohui introduced: "He is a senior brother from my school, and I met him during the interview." Tan's mother looked at Gao Yuan up and down for a while, and exclaimed: "He is really a talented person!"

Tan Xiaohui said: "That's right, my senior is a graduate student. He has passed many qualification examinations, such as certified public accountant and so on. It can be said that he is the most outstanding talent in our school!" Tan's mother smiled and said: "Xiaohui, I can

I've never heard you praise anyone so much." Tan Xiaohui said, "Mom, I'm not admiring, I'm telling the truth." Tan's mother was busy making tea, and Tan Xiaohui said, "Mom, why isn't dad at home?"

Tan's mother put down the tea: "That old guy is really mad at me." Tan Xiaohui said: "What's going on?" Tan's mother said: "We went on a long trip yesterday. Before we went out, I asked him to return the money and shopping card.

There are some gold and silver jewelry packed in a plastic bag and hidden in a trash can. As you know, we have had several burglaries here this year, so I have to be careful."

Tan's mother took a sip of water: "What's annoying is that this afternoon when we got home, I was a little tired so I went to sleep for a while. Unexpectedly, just for a while, the old guy suddenly became diligent. He swept the floor.

I picked up the bag of things hidden in the trash can and went downstairs to throw it away! Xiaohui, all our valuable belongings are in there. There are 30,000 yuan in cash, more than 20 shopping cards with a face value of 00 yuan, and

There are more than 20,000 yuan of gold and silver jewelry, and the most important thing is a pair of jade pendants, which are worth at least 10,000 yuan. They were passed down to me by your grandmother, and I plan to leave them to you as a dowry!"

Tan Xiaohui also became anxious: "Mom, can I still find it?" Tan's mother said: "I asked the community security guard, and they said that the garbage will be transported to the garbage room by the cleaners every afternoon, and it will be transported early the next morning.

The garbage disposal site, it will be impossible to find it back then. I hurriedly asked your dad to go to the garbage room to ask, he just passed by, and I was about to go down!"

Gao Yuan said: "Auntie, you can rest at home, I'll look for you!" He and Tan Xiaohui went downstairs, and before they entered the garbage room, they smelled a pungent sour smell. When they entered the door, they saw a thin man

As soon as the tall middle-aged man picked up a shovel, Tan Xiaohui shouted: "Dad!" Tan's father was also surprised when he saw her and Gao Yuan together: "Who is he?" Tan Xiaohui introduced her to Tan's father again.

He looked at Gao Yuan with admiration: "You are welcome to date Xiaohui. You should go back quickly. It's too dirty here."

Gao Yuan said: "Uncle, you better go back, I'll come find him." After saying that, he grabbed the shovel and pushed Tan's father out of the garbage room. Tan Xiaohui stood there worried. It turned out that the garbage room was four to five hundred square meters.

It's so big, and the ground is full of garbage, which is at least half a person tall. Not only that, there are three rows of at least 30 trash cans in the innermost part of the garbage room against the wall. Each trash can is as high as Gao Yuan, and two people can

Only then could we hug each other, and every trash can was filled with garbage. Tan Xiaohui said: "Are we going to go through all the garbage?"

Gao Yuan said: "What else can we do?" Tan Xiaohui said: "When will it be turned over?" Gao Yuan said: "No matter when it is turned over, it will be turned over. Think about it, this garbage

There are treasures worth 300,000 yuan hidden in the pile! Even if it takes three days and three nights, it's worth it!" Tan Xiaohui said helplessly: "I didn't expect that, I originally planned to let you rest at my house and then take you out to play tomorrow.

As a result, you came here to help us dig through the trash!"

Gao Yuan swung his shovel and scooped up a large piece of garbage, and then shook it away vigorously. He saw leftovers, sanitary napkins and other things scattered into a piece. Gao Yuan looked carefully and saw that there was no bag that Tan Ma mentioned. He swung the shovel again, and again

He shoveled up a piece of garbage, shook it open and looked at it, but there was still nothing. Ten minutes passed, half an hour passed, and an hour passed. Gao Yuan swung the shovel vigorously, but what he shoveled away was still just the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, except for those that exuded...

Smelly household garbage, nothing to see!

Tan Xiaohui said: "Look at this, don't even think about sleeping tonight." Gao Yuan said: "Why don't you go back to sleep, I will just look here." Tan Xiaohui said: "This is my family's business, how can I have the nerve to leave you alone?"

Leave it here! I'd better do the logistics. Are you thirsty? I'll go back and get some tea."

After a while, Tan Xiaohui brought tea over. Gao Yuan took a few sips and started working hard again. Tan Xiaohui stood aside to help watch, for fear of missing something. At first, it felt like time passed really slowly, and gradually Gao Yuan became sleepy.

His movements were also a little mechanical. He was digging through the garbage with a spade. Suddenly he looked at his phone and saw that it was already two o'clock in the morning. Looking at the garbage on the ground, he had already turned over about a third of it.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came in from outside. Gao Yuan said: "Excuse me, who are you -" The man said: "I am the cleaner here." Tan Xiaohui suddenly had an idea and said: "We threw the wrong plastic bag."

, it contains cash, shopping cards and some jewelry. Did you find any when you were cleaning out the trash?"

The cleaner said without hesitation: "I didn't find it." Gao Yuan said: "How do you clean up the garbage?" The cleaner said: "I will pick out cartons, cardboard and other paper things and sell them for money, and throw the rest on the ground.

"No, I don't think you need to look for it. There can't be anything you're looking for on the ground." Gao Yuan said, "Where are the waste papers you collected? Can you let me take a look? Maybe you missed it?"

The cleaner opened a small door in the garbage room, which was where he rested. He pointed to the corner and said, "I just collected those bundles today. Go and dig through them yourself." Gao Yuan opened one of the bundles.

, looking through it carefully, there are love letters received by the little girl, marriage certificates, graduation certificates discarded for unknown reasons, family income and expenditure records... but there is nothing missing from the Tan family.

Gao Yuan opened another bundle, but still found nothing. Finally, he opened four or five bundles, and only the last bundle was left. Tan Xiaohui clasped his hands together and prayed: "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless..." Gao Yuan opened the last bundle and turned the pages.

When he got to the middle, he found an envelope with the words Pengxi City Health Bureau written on it. Tan Xiaohui's eyes lit up and he said, "That's the envelope from my mother's work. Open it quickly and take a look!"

Gao Yuan opened the envelope and saw a stack of cards inside. When he pulled it out, it turned out that they were all shopping cards! Both of them cheered with joy! It turned out that the cleaners did not sort carefully enough and regarded the envelopes and shopping cards as

The papers were bundled. The two continued to look through them and found several envelopes one after another, containing banknotes and gold and silver jewelry. Tan's mother put all these in the envelopes. The two were overjoyed, but that one

The jade bracelet is still missing.

Just as they were about to finish looking through the bundle of things, just when the two were about to despair, another envelope appeared. Gao Yuan opened it and saw the pair of jade bracelets!

Gao Yuan said: "Junior sister, I found a dowry for you!"

Tan Xiaohui suddenly said: "In the end, it's still yours!"

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment and immediately realized: it was time to make a decision.

He knew that it would be a difficult choice.
