The young couple was very sweet and the people around them made a few jokes and then left tactfully.
After all, making the bed delayed their meal, and they hadn't even had the wedding banquet yet.
Xiang Meimei said distressedly: "Look, why are you in such a hurry? I won't run away."
"Hey, Meimei, I don't want others to see you. You look so beautiful today."
Chen Wei looks like a pig.
Xiang Lili, who was standing aside, couldn't bear to look at her brother-in-law and felt that it would be unfair to her eyes if she continued to look at him.
So she took down the red envelope bag she was carrying cross-body and placed it on the dressing table: "Second sister, I put the red envelope here. I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
Chen Liang, who was following behind, didn't want to suffer either, so he quickly handed the gift money book to his silly brother: "Brother, this is the account I kept, you and sister-in-law can take a look."
The two younger siblings were very sensible and did not disturb their intimacy. They just left the money and ran away.
The pink bubble between the couple was completely gone, and now there was only gold in their eyes.
Xiang Meimei rummaged through the red envelope bag, took out her account book, and made a note of the name on each red envelope she opened.
Chen Wei came up to Xiang Meimei with the gift money book and said, "Wow, Meimei, I received a gift money of 594 yuan!"
"These are all gifts given by my parents before. They gave them to us, and we have to give them back in the future. This money is just kept here temporarily."
The rule in the county is that as long as a marriage takes place, the family must give separate gifts even if they have not split up. For example, Chen Wei is married, so he and Chen's father are no longer considered a family, so two gifts must be given to relatives.
Xiang Meimei looked calm.
Her dowry was almost 700 yuan, so naturally she would not covet the gift money.
Chen Wei was immediately discouraged: "You're right, my cousin is getting married the day after tomorrow, and we have to send him back immediately."
"Okay, help me find out which family my cousin belongs to so I can remember to give him a gift when the time comes."
He hurriedly searched for the gift book: "Let me see... I found it. His father's name is written on it: Huang Chang. His family gave 4 yuan as a congratulatory gift."
Xiang Meimei flipped through two pages of her account book and wrote down a 4-yuan gift for her cousin in her schedule for the day after tomorrow to remind herself in case she forgot.
Chen Wei slapped his head and said, "My eldest brother-in-law is getting married on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Meimei, I gave you the red envelope from my eldest brother-in-law, right? How much is it? Let's add some to send back."
Although Xiang Liguo was not married yet, he was the older brother after all, and his sister was only married ten days later, so he still gave her a red envelope when she got married.
"I gave you 6 yuan in a red envelope last night. I remember it. Can we give you 8 yuan in return?"
Chen Wei nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
He had handed over his financial power a long time ago, leaving only a few dollars for pocket money. Loving your wife means supporting her, even though his current salary is not as high as his father-in-law's...
After a busy day, Xiang Meimei finally managed to keep track of the accounts and count all the money.
"Your factory director gave me 16 yuan and your leader gave me 12 yuan. These are considered generous gifts. You must return them properly in the future." Xiang Meimei reminded as she put away her pen.
Chen Wei didn't expect that his wedding would attract these two heavyweights to give gifts. In the current trend where uncles, cousins and brothers only give 10 yuan, the factory director and leaders really value him.
"I didn't expect this either... I have to ask my dear Meimei for help. You are my good wife, so please help me. I don't understand household matters."
Chen Wei doesn't want to deal with messy interpersonal relationships. Being able to handle the relationship between his mother and Meimei as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a reflection of his emotional intelligence in this life. He cannot maintain anything else.
Xiang Meimei sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll handle it when the time comes. If there's any wedding between his or her two families, just inform me in advance."
The couple complement each other.
Chen Wei doesn't worry, so she has to do it, what else can he do?
Chen Wei grinned, thinking that he was very wise to marry the beautiful and housekeeping Xiang Meimei and not give anyone else a chance.
The two looked at each other sweetly, and when the atmosphere was just right, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Wei was so angry that he was about to kiss her! Who was disturbing him at his house?!
He went to open the door with reluctance.
As soon as I opened the door, a young and beautiful figure appeared from behind the door. She had a delicate appearance and a sweet voice:
"Hello, I wish you a happy wedding. My father is the new deputy secretary of the match factory committee. His name is Yin Lianren, and I'm Yin Shengnan. Here, this is a wedding gift for you."
She handed over a basket, turned around and walked away, shaking her braids.
Chen Wei knew this family. The methane plant was already being planned, so naturally someone was needed to manage it. Yin Lianren was the factory secretary prepared for the methane plant.
I will now serve as the deputy secretary of the match factory committee as a transitional employee, and will be transferred there once the factory is completed.
Because he was a leader, the housing allocated to him was the one on his right. This house was right above the factory director, and no one dared to choose it. In the end, Yin Lianren got the chance.
But as a wedding gift, why not just go to his banquet and give it directly? Why must I have my daughter give it in person to impress him?
He was completely baffled and could only take the basket home: "Meimei, please remember that Yin Lianren, the deputy secretary of the factory committee, has sent us something."
They both looked through the contents of the basket.
A piece of fresh pork, ten eggs, and four pounds of flour.
Xiang Meimei converted the money into cash according to the market price and recorded it in the account book: "The pork needs to be pickled, otherwise it might go bad. Should we send the eggs to Mom?"
"Why are we sending a few eggs over? My parents have some at home. We can just make fried eggs with noodles for him tonight. We have flour anyway."
The two of them made egg noodles that night. Fortunately, Zhang Jidi knew that their new home was short of kitchen supplies and provided them with them, otherwise eating would have been a problem.
After having a good meal and a good drink, the two of them spent their time together in love.
