Zhao Qinglan and the others went back to the snack bar to get something, and then hurried to the family area.
When they came back, Mrs. Sun quickly took her second daughter to give her a bunch of instructions on what to pay attention to when getting married tomorrow.
The sisters have agreed not to tell her about Boss Zhao's visit.
Wu Mei also came here to help. In fact, the house has almost been tidied up, and there is nothing that needs to be done.
Zhou Jinsheng's parents are no longer alive. Since joining the army, most of the allowances he earned since joining the army, except for a few expenses, have been saved.
This time when the two got married, Mrs. Sun just wanted to get a 100-yuan gift, because the bridal gift in the city generally ranged from 100 to 200 yuan.
The daughter will have no parents-in-law from now on, which has advantages and disadvantages. No one will help take care of the children. Similarly, the young couple does not have to support the elderly.
It would be useless to take too much of the bride price, and she was not greedy for her daughter's gift money.
But to make things sound better, in the end, Zhou Jinsheng and his aunt went back to discuss it with her husband Zhou Hai, and Zhou Jinsheng finally gave her a gift of 188 yuan, which was considered auspicious and nice to hear.
In addition to the betrothal gift, Zhou Jinsheng also used the remaining money to buy a ladies' watch for Zhao Qingzhu. In addition to the bride's clothes, furniture and other items added to their home, they also spent a lot of money.
However, Zhao Qingzhu's dowry is also very considerable.
Zhou Jinsheng bought a watch, and Zhao Qingzhu got a sewing machine as a dowry. A sewing machine is a big item nowadays.
If a girl gets married with such a big item as a dowry, she will be very beautiful.
In addition to what Zhao Qinglan bought for herself, there are also several new quilts and blankets that Sun bought for her daughter, a red basin towel warmer, wooden boxes, etc., gold jewelry that Zhao Qinglan bought, and a radio that Zhao Qingju gave to her sister.
Wu Mei was shocked when she saw the dowry revealed.
This was a really big house and was not shown publicly for fear of being too ostentatious. However, Zhao Qingzhu told Zhou Jinsheng privately.
In this way, Zhao Qingzhu's dowry can be considered quite prosperous nowadays.
According to custom, the bride's dowry must be sent to the groom's side on the first day of the wedding, and then displayed for the groom's relatives and friends to see.
No, not long after Zhao Qinglan and the others came back, Mrs. Sun, after giving instructions to her daughter, shouted that it was time to "give the dowry".
Li Huai, Zhao Qinglan, Wu Mei, and a few others who were called to help, together lifted Zhao Qingzhu's dowry onto their arms.
Next door, Zhou Hai and his wife were also waiting at home with others.
Although it was close, the transfer of all the dowry still shocked the people waiting at the Zhou family.
After all, when we were next door, many things were placed inside the house, so even if they passed by the courtyard gate outside, they didn't see much.
Some people can't help feeling that Zhou Jinsheng is lucky.
Seeing that the woman's dowry was so generous, Zhou Hai and his lover were naturally happy for their nephew Zhou Jinsheng.
Originally, the two families were talking about getting married, and someone asked about Zhao Qingzhu's work.
When they learned that Zhao Qingzhu was doing small business with his mother and sister in the city, some people looked down on him.
Frankly speaking, it takes so much hard work to make a small amount of money.
Even if Zhao Qinglan added a lot of big things to his family because of better dividend conditions, those people thought it was Li Huai who took advantage of the family in Beijing, and they didn't think it was because of Zhao Qinglan at all.
Now seeing that Zhao Qingzhu's dowry conditions have far exceeded the one hundred and eighty-eight betrothal gifts given, everyone knows that they may have underestimated his business income.
Others asked bluntly.
There was no way to explain this kind of thing in detail. Zhao Qinglan just laughed it off and said it was still passable.
How can you still live well and be so good as a dowry? This is unique in this area, right? The more Zhao Qinglan didn't want to say anything, the more itchy those people were. She also felt that they must have earned a lot of money, so they didn't dare to let outsiders know.
For this reason, some people thought of Yang Qingmin and his wife who had been driven away.
No matter what others speculate, Zhao Qinglan's family is all thinking about Zhao Qingzhu's marriage.
The most important thing today is to give and display the dowry.
After doing this, Mrs. Sun breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, there were still customers who were willing to come, so everyone sat down and had some food, and the atmosphere became lively.
Once the children get out of school, the house becomes really lively.
In the evening, Zhao Qingzhu took a good bath at her sister's house, and then slept with her sister and her mother.
Li Huai also went to sleep with the children again.
Mother and daughter lay together and talked for a while.
"Sister, thank you. If you hadn't brought me out, I wouldn't be living like this." Zhao Qingzhu said from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Qinglan laughed.
"I can bring you out, but you have to work hard on your own. Those things in the past are in the past. From now on, you and Jinsheng will live a good life."
"Your sister is right, Qingzhu, although Jinsheng's parents are gone, political commissar Zhou and his wife are your elders. You see, they are busy with your marriage now, and you have to respect them in the future.
People."
"I know, Mom."
"Second sister, you are also married, and I am the only one left in the family." Zhao Qingju suddenly sighed.
Mrs. Sun glanced at her little girl. "You don't have to worry. After your sister's marriage is completed, mom will help you find a good partner."
"Mom." Zhao Qingju became shy.
Because they had to get up early tomorrow, the mother and daughter didn't say it was too late and went to bed quickly.
When there is a happy event at home, the whole family gets up earlier than the other.
Everyone put on festive new clothes, including the children.
The third baby has just learned to walk, but his walking is not very stable yet. The brothers and sisters are carrying him together, so the adults don't have to worry.
After a quick breakfast, guests began to arrive at home.
Because Zhao Qingzhu, mother and daughter have almost no relatives or friends here, but they can't be too lonely when getting married.
Fortunately, they got married at Zhao Qinglan's house. Li Huai notified his comrades with whom he had a good relationship, and Zhao Qinglan also notified some colleagues.
The couple are usually generous and don't like to take advantage, so no one thinks they are just calling each other to receive more gifts.
Zhao Qingzhu put on her wedding dress early, and her sister Zhao Qinglan personally did her hair and makeup.
Zhao Qinglan didn't wear much makeup in her previous life, but maybe she has more experience and knows better.
After my sister's wedding day was set, she started studying makeup in the mirror and bought some more cosmetics for this purpose.
What is not available here, some are sent to her from the capital by Wei Hong.
As for Zhao Qingzhu's wedding dress, it is also different from what everyone has seen before.
Zhao Qinglan wanted her sister to get married beautifully, so she specially ordered two beautiful clothes for her.
One is a red long dress, and the other is a simple Chinese cheongsam Xiuhe.
She didn't know how long it took her to find these by a master craftsman who made them by hand.
Zhao Qinglan asked her sister to try on both of these clothes. In fact, Zhao Qingzhu liked both of them, but in the end they unanimously chose the red dress.
When everyone saw the newly groomed bride, everyone was amazed and praised her beauty. There were even children who stayed in front of Zhao Qingzhu and refused to leave.
