Jian Shu obtained a spatial dimension. Having read countless novels, she immediately hoarded supplies, preparing for transmigration or the apocalypse.
A few years later, Jian Shu had already ...
Jianshu is indeed not the kind of person who is short-sighted. Not to mention that she doesn't care about the amount of the bride price, even if she does, to be honest, she is the one who takes advantage.
After all, she guessed that she might have the same other things as her sister-in-law whom she had never met, but the other party definitely didn't have that bracelet.
In terms of value, that bracelet far surpassed all the others. In that respect, she got more.
But it’s not that he lied. After all, the bracelet didn’t belong to him, but to Gu Mingjing’s mother.
Gu Zhan was only delivering it on behalf of the owner, and judging from what he and Gu Mingjing said, this bracelet was originally intended to be given to Jian Shu by its original owner.
And the reason why Jianshu got this bracelet was not because she married Gu Mingjing and became her daughter-in-law, but because of her identity as a daughter.
Actually, this bracelet is not a betrothal gift, but a dowry.
However, he still didn't know what kind of personality the sister-in-law he had never met was. Jian Shu didn't want to test her nature and didn't intend to expose all this. Anyway, at least in the next few years, the bracelet would not be able to appear openly.
As for the future, let it be. If she really wants to care about it, she doesn't care. If Gu Zhan dares to give, she dares to accept.
Gu Mingjing had no problem with his father's reaction. He was the one marrying, not his father, so he didn't care how much he contributed. He would take what was given to him, and wouldn't ask for it if it wasn't. He had the ability, and if he wanted something, he would earn it himself.
Anyway, he brought all his family assets today and will give them all to Shushu later. She will definitely not refuse this time.
Zhao Mingze couldn't deny this. He would prepare a dowry for Shushu anyway, so he wouldn't be short of this. If there was anything missing, he could just add some more.
Seeing that the two had no objection to his words, Gu Zhan continued, "When the eldest brother got married, I gave his wife a betrothal gift of 888 yuan, a watch, a bicycle, four sets of clothes, and some cigarettes, alcohol, and candy."
This betrothal gift was not small, it was even considered generous, but for the Gu family, it was really not enough. You know, the meeting gift alone was a red envelope of 666 yuan.
"But it was a good year, and a lot of people came to the eldest brother's wedding, and the banquet alone was quite expensive. You all only know about the situation in recent years. This time, when the two children are getting married, don't even think about holding a banquet. The most we can do is prepare some tea and snacks to entertain them."
"I can't let the child suffer any injustice, so I converted the expenses into money and added it to the betrothal gift. It's a token of my appreciation. I rounded it up to a total of one thousand yuan. Shushu, keep it."
Gu Zhan pointed at an object wrapped in red paper on the table. Judging from its shape, it was definitely the Great Unity.
Jianshu looked at Meng Ying, who nodded, indicating that she should accept it.
Since they were all familiar with each other, there was no need for those polite words. After all, they were all military men and didn't like to waste time.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu!" Jianshu put it away silently and expressed his gratitude.
Gu Zhan looked at her teasingly and said, "You're still calling me Uncle Gu? The marriage is already decided, so can you change your name now?"
Jianshu's face suddenly turned red, and her fingers couldn't help but pull at her clothes, feeling a little shy.
But she quickly adjusted her mood, raised her head, her cheeks still a little red, and shouted gracefully: "Thank you, Dad!"
You will have to call them sooner or later anyway, so why be shy? At least you can make your elders happy.
"Oh!" Gu Zhan responded happily. After waiting for so many years, his wish finally came true today.
"Here, keep it. This is the money your dad gives you to change your name." He took out a thick red envelope from his pocket again. It was obvious that he had planned this for a long time and had made preparations long ago.
Jianshu didn't expect that just calling dad would get a red envelope, this is really...
In these two days alone, she has received two red envelopes from Gu Zhan, plus the betrothal gift, totaling one or two thousand.
Zhao Mingze felt sour when he heard the word "Dad" and couldn't help but snort, "You don't carry this red envelope around every day just waiting for this call of "Dad", do you?"
"So what?" Gu Zhan responded arrogantly.
What's wrong with him carrying it around every day? Isn't this what he's been waiting for? If he hadn't been afraid of scaring people a few days ago, he would have given the red envelope away long ago.
"Humph!" Isn't it just calling out "Dad"? What's the big deal? Shushu already has two dads, but he still only has Uncle Zhao.
Gu Zhan was in a good mood at the moment and didn't bother to argue with this jealous person. Seeing that Jian Shu didn't accept it, he stuffed it directly into her arms.
"Keep it. Don't call me dad in vain. Use it as pocket money."
Jian Shu had no choice but to accept it, "Thank you, Dad!"
Holding the thick red envelope, I was impressed by Gu Zhan's tycoon style.
Pocket money?
With this thickness, it would cost at least a hundred yuan. A few hundred yuan of pocket money?
After this episode, everyone quickly returned to the topic.
"I see that the family already has the three-wheeled instrument and the one-ring watch. Should we buy another one or exchange them for other things, or should we directly convert the money into money to buy things for the child himself?" Gu Zhan asked for advice.
Jianshu already has things like bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and radios, so there's nothing else to buy.
But Gu Zhan couldn't skip this item just because she was pregnant. They should discuss the specifics together and listen to the child's opinions.
Jianshu didn't care about this, so he didn't say anything and just listened to their opinions.
Zhao Mingze and Gu Mingjing, two grown men, were not very good at this and did not say anything.
Meng Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Forget the watch. Let's buy a bicycle and a sewing machine. But don't buy them in Jing City. Let Mingjing buy them directly from him. Once the housing application is approved, we can move in directly. When Shushu moves in, it will be convenient for him to use them."
"It saves us from transporting it all the way from Beijing. It's too much trouble. Let's keep the ones here at home for now. Mingjing will have to transfer the ones back to Beijing in the future, so they can be used when he returns. As for the ones I bought this time, I can just sell them there when the time comes, which saves me the trouble."
Buy a new one, use it for a few years, and then sell it secondhand when you leave to get some money. It is convenient and worry-free, and you don’t have to go back and forth.
Otherwise it would be so troublesome to transport it from so far away.
Gu Zhan hadn't expected this, and nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea, let's do it. When the house is ready, we'll just buy the things and send them over."
The major items in the betrothal gift have been determined, and the remaining items are just some small ones.
Cigarettes, alcohol, candy, tea, snacks and other things were already placed on the table. No one looked at them carefully and just wanted to clean them up and put them away later.
