"Okay, okay, I listen to you! I will go to my daughter's house in the afternoon and ask my granddaughter. She should know when Yongsheng will come back from vacation! I will tell you then! I have to prepare all the wedding items as soon as possible!"

Wang Tou married a daughter and two daughters-in-law, and knew everything about his son's preparations for marriage.

"Okay! We'll wait at home!" Lao Niutou felt relieved.

"Brother Lao Wang, let's talk about the betrothal gift today! You have prepared it together! It will save you a lot of time!" Seeing that everything was agreed upon, Mrs. Niu hurriedly proposed it. <

/p>

"Ah...Okay, okay! Just tell me!" Lao Wangtou was a little slow in his response and stumbled over his words.

Originally, he thought that after asking about his son, the family would come to formally discuss the matter of marriage, but he did not expect that the other party would actually bring it up like this, and he would not be able to accept it.

"Old Wangtou, my girl is one of the best girls in the ten miles and eight villages. She is quick at work and well-educated. She has been able to do housework since she was a child. She is a good hand at home and outside. We have not contributed much to the family since we were raised.

I got married, and to be honest, I feel a little bit reluctant to give up!" Lao Niutou started to boast a lot, praising the girl for her good looks and her quick work.

There is only one ultimate goal, which is to make it easier for Lao Wangtou to accept the gift.

"Yes, yes! We all know this child Yingying. She is a first-rate good girl. Having such a girl in our stall is truly a blessing from our ancestors!" Lao Wangtou responded.

But he was telling the truth, he really liked that little girl.

"Brother Wang! Our girl and Yongsheng have fallen in love with each other. We can't do anything about it, otherwise! Her aunt has introduced her to people in the city! She fell in love with our girl and offered to give her two hundred dollars.

It’s a yuan gift, but Yingying doesn’t agree to it! You said it was a big deal!” The old lady Niu also looked at her old man’s eyes and started talking loudly.

"Ah...this! Fate, fate!" Old Wangtou also heard some clues. The two people kept saying these words, but they didn't mention how much the gift was. He could still hear what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

came out.

"Isn't it just fate? We have no choice. How can we, a rural family, afford so much money? So! We don't want to embarrass Brother Wang. You are so willing to give us eighty-eight yuan as a betrothal gift.

That's all! This number is also auspicious!" Only then did the old lady Niu say what she meant.

Eighty-eight yuan...

Lao Wangtou was dumbfounded!

Eighty-eight yuan...

Li Xiuying, who walked in from the outside, was also dumbfounded.

Eighty-eight yuan...

Now I can have two or three wives, but what do people say?

I mean, I can give you eighty-eight yuan!

This means that they did not make things difficult for them with the eighty-eight yuan!

What if you are in trouble? How much do you need to prepare? I introduced the city people and asked for 200 yuan, so do they also want 200 yuan?

"This... Big brother, big sister, you two have already discussed it, haven't you? Didn't you discuss the eighty-eight yuan as a bride price?" Lao Wangtou was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and asked.

He married the eldest and second son for a wife and they didn’t even spend 88 yuan in total! When the third son came here, he wanted so much!

It’s not that he has no savings, but if he takes out all of it, it won’t be enough for half of the eighty-eight yuan. How can this be a good thing?

"Yes! Eighty-eight yuan is already very little. Yongsheng works in the city, so he won't be able to get it, right? Yongsheng told me that day, if the probation period is over, there will be thirty-five yuan a month."

It’s only 1 yuan! It’s only two or three months’ salary!” Old Niutou said with a smile when he saw Lao Wangtou’s reaction.

"That's what I say, but we have only been working for a few days since our birth, and we can't get the money together in a short while! Do you think we can ask for less? That way we can save some money for the wedding supplies for our two children.

!" Li Xiuying stood on the ground and said awkwardly.

"Yes! Brother, sister, you see, we are all farmers... How can we afford so much money?" Lao Wangtou also said.

"To be honest, this is because the two children have made love to each other. Otherwise, our Yingying would have married into the city long ago! Not to mention the eighty-eight yuan betrothal gift, it is a two hundred yuan betrothal gift plus extra

Here's a bicycle! This is eighty-eight yuan! Not much left!" With a look from the old man's head, the old woman understood instantly.

The two of them agreed at home that eighty yuan was the minimum bottom line, but they didn't want to lower it after eighty-eight yuan.

"Old man, my meal is almost ready. Let's eat first. This is the gift! We will go to the house to talk after Yongsheng comes back!" After Li Xiuying said to Lao Wangtou, she looked at Lao Niutou and his wife, "Is this okay?"

”

"Okay!" Lao Niutou agreed with one word.

Anyway, their son must be Yingying, so I don’t believe they won’t pay this bride price!

"Okay! Then you guys sit down for a while and I'll see if the meal is ready!" Li Xiuying glanced at Lao Wangtou and told him to stop mentioning the bride price.

Originally, they didn't even know what their son was thinking, or even whether his son was dating a girl, so it was too early to start talking about the bride price.

Li Xiuying worked quickly, and soon, white rice was on the table, as well as a plate of fried potatoes, stewed dried beans, and a few pieces of meat in it.

The old couple were drooling at the sight.

How many years has it been since the two of them had eaten this white rice? The few kilograms they bought by tightening their belts also went into the mouths of their grandchildren, and the adults were reluctant to eat even one bite.

The old Wang family can actually eat dry rice! Life is so easy!

It’s not as sad as what people in the village say?

However, you can eat rice, but you can’t afford 88 yuan? Who would believe it?

Li Xiuying was also a little confused. She didn't turn around for a while. She was only happy that her son had found a partner. She used all the good things at home to entertain her. When she looked back, it was already too late. She had done everything before doing anything else.

There was no time, so she had no choice but to take it out.

The old Niu Tou and his wife ate loudly without caring about their face, and their tongues had to swallow everything they ate.

It was almost noon by the time we sent the people away, and the work couldn't be completed, so the centimeters would definitely be deducted a lot.

"Old man, let's not get out of work this afternoon. You go and ask for leave from the team leader! Let's go to our daughter's house quickly and ask Xiaoxue when the milk powder factory will have a holiday. Let Shengsheng come back and find out!" Li Xiuying sent the person away.

I quickly cleared the table and didn’t forget to tell the old man.

"Okay! That's what I mean! Let's go home quickly! You can pack up while I go ask for leave! Let's go now!" The old man hurriedly walked out.

The old couple asked for leave, locked the door and hurried to their daughter's house. At this time, the Bai Ruxue siblings were fighting with the roots of corn stalks in the field.
Chapter completed!
