"Comrade Fu, I can answer your questions."
"When I look for a partner, I will definitely choose the best one."
"Good character, good looks, good to me, good family background. I think every girl would choose a partner based on these criteria when looking for a partner or getting married, right?"
"No one wants to find someone with bad character and morals, who is ugly and treats me badly, and even less so, someone who is broke and has no food to eat, right?"
"Of course, on top of all these conditions, the most important one is liking me. I like this man the moment I see him. I have a feeling he's the only one I can have."
"You could put it this way. I decided to marry Comrade Fu Junmo because I fell in love with him the first time I saw him. Secondly, after chatting with him for a few hours, I felt that he had good character and was upright. Thirdly, he was not poor and could support his wife and children."
Qian Duoduo looked at Fu Junmo and said seriously, "I know that families like yours have to consider a lot when looking for a marriage partner. For example, whether the partner is greedy for your family's wealth, a good wife, and a good match."
"You've seen the situation in our family. We're not a good match. I'm definitely not going to be of much help to your career, and I'm not sure if I'd be a good wife. So, before we get married—"
"I don't need your help for my own career." Fu Junmo was as cold as could be at this moment. "I don't care about being well-matched either."
"Also, in the military, a marriage report is equivalent to a marriage certificate!"
There is no way to retreat!
The voice was icy cold. Qian Duoduo was so angry. I was just answering a question for your sister. Why should I be so fierce?
If you have the ability, you can deal with your sister!
The atmosphere is a bit cold.
After a long while, Fu Junru regained her composure and changed the subject with a smile, "Duoduo, you're taking the college entrance exam soon, right? I heard from your eldest brother that you've always been in the top three in the school and you've skipped several grades. So you're not going to college?"
Qian Duoduo decided not to indulge her anymore and smiled, "If I marry Fu Junmo, I hope we can discuss this matter between the two of us."
"Comrade Fu, it's getting late and you must be hungry. I'll go see if the meal is ready."
She jumped down and was about to leave, but she didn't expect Fu Junru to let her go. "Duoduo has been studying all the time. Can you cook?"
Qian Duoduo turned around and smiled, "No, I told Fu Junmo yesterday, and he said that he would cook for me in the future."
He glanced at Fu Junmo and walked out of the house with a smile.
Fu Junmo pursed his lips and said nothing. He could feel that the little girl was angry.
Qian Jianjun, who was sitting in the main room, saw Qian Duoduo come out. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Little sister, you are so awesome, you actually dare to challenge these two people!
How dare you let the God of Killing cook for her?
Fu Junru is the eldest in the family. She has always felt that an elder sister is like a mother, so she automatically becomes the head of the family. The marriages of her younger brothers and sisters all have to be approved by her, or they are arranged by a matchmaker she finds.
Now that Qian Duoduo is challenging others like this, I don’t know if this smiling tiger will hold a grudge.
That woman has the final say in the Fu family. Her brothers and sisters-in-law must listen to her. Mr. and Mrs. Fu sometimes turn a blind eye and give in to her.
Oh, I’ve really worried him so much that his hair has turned white!
Qian Duoduo went to the kitchen and saw that the dumplings were already being cooked, so he carried two large plates of hand-pulled mutton back into the house.
She put the mutton and five knives on the table, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Sister Fu, brother-in-law, try our Inner Mongolian hand-pulled mutton, it's authentic and can be eaten with dipping sauce. Mongolians generally eat it this way. My father bought fresh mutton early in the morning just for you to have a taste." After that, she took the plate of pastries and melon seeds on the table and put it on the cabinet.
On the surface, everyone was having a pleasant meal, and Fu Junru didn't find any fault.
The marriage report has been filed, and besides, I have offended my younger brother and future sister-in-law.
But, I just feel unhappy.
After the meal, Qian Duoduo wiped her mouth and sat as steady as a rock, ignoring everything. Liu Qiaomei winked at her to clear the table, but she didn't move.
She is a rebellious person and is known for being thick-skinned.
This future sister-in-law is too cunning. She is doing this and that now. What if she marries into their family and this future sister-in-law finds fault with her and asks her to do housework?
Didn't you say I can't do this or that? Shouldn't I cooperate?
Sometimes, playing badly is also a kind of enjoyment, O(∩_∩)O~
Fu Junru finally suppressed her dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "Grandma, uncle, since Junmo has already filed a marriage report, then our two families can choose a date and hold the wedding. We can move Duoduo's household registration and other things out. That way, after returning to the capital, we can get a marriage certificate and register directly without having to travel back and forth. Is this okay with you?"
Qian Nai nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll ask Dad Duoduo to get a certificate from the team leader and then go to the commune to handle the paperwork."
Fu Junru nodded, "Then what are your requirements for the betrothal gift?" Then she looked at Qian Duoduo, "Does Duoduo have any requirements?"
Qian Duoduo didn't want to get involved in these matters, but she also didn't want her future sister-in-law to look down on her, so she smiled and said, "I don't have any requirements for the betrothal gift. My grandparents are not selling their daughter or granddaughter. No matter how much the man gives, my grandma and my mother will give it to me."
"But you've all seen my family's financial situation. My fourth brother and several of my cousins are all of marriageable age, and we have over a dozen nephews and nieces in school. Our family is burdened with heavy responsibilities, so the dowry isn't much."
Qian Nai pulled Qian Duoduo and scolded, "Duoduo!" Then she looked at Fu Junru and Fu Junmo and said with a smile, "Duoduo is still young and doesn't understand things. Don't mind it."
"Although our family is not wealthy, we will definitely bring some money for Duoduo, including new bedding for the wedding, five blankets and four quilts, and make two sets of clothes for Duoduo. We really can't afford anything else."
Qian Duoduo frowned and was about to say something when Liu Qiaomei stopped him. He glared at her secretly and said, "Shut up! You talk too much today!"
Fu Junmo looked at Qian Duoduo's slightly unhappy face and said, "Grandma, you don't need so many beddings. Besides, it's not easy for us to take them away since they are so far away."
He knew very well that it was very difficult to save some cotton and cloth in the countryside. The five beddings and four blankets that Grandma Qian mentioned must have been saved for many years for the young man in the family to get married.
"We don't have any requirements for dowry or anything like that. As for the betrothal gift, we'll give you 5,000 yuan in cash and three turns of the year. I've already arranged the wedding room at home. When Duoduo arrives, you can buy some of the things you like."
The Qian family was shocked.
Five thousand dollars!!!
