Jiang Zao is not stupid, she is not pretending to enjoy the good food at the banquet.
In the past, Jiang Shan had followed her and taken advantage of her a lot. When she was a child, she came to her house and her mother made pies but didn't give them to girls. Jiang Shan was so greedy that she stole some and cried and told her she was scared. She thought her sister was young and ignorant, so she took the blame and was beaten by her mother until her palms were swollen.
Jiang Shan didn't even say thank you.
No matter how you look at it, Jiang Shan owes her.
Liu Chunhua was very satisfied: "Let's go!"
If you know that you are going to a banquet, you may think that you are taking your whole family to fight.
In order to make things look more festive, Feng Miao prepared a half-meat and half-vegetarian meal at the table. There was a big bowl of stewed pork with vermicelli and frozen tofu, and each bowl had three to five pieces of meat!
There are also potatoes stewed with shredded beans and stir-fried dried mushrooms. The dishes are all fresh and bright.
When Liu Chunhua brought people to write the gift account, Feng Miao saw two pieces and thought they were too many. Gradually, he found something wrong.
Are these people who died of starvation the reincarnation of ghosts?
Liu Chunhua left all the money and food to Jiang Jun. She only took a few yellow buns with her on the train and ate one a day. When she got off the train, her eyes were green and she wanted to bite people.
The strength is unquestionable.
Jiang Ming, Liu Cui, Jiang Dashan, and Liu Chunhua lived a life that was unbearable during their time away.
Not only do we not have enough to eat, but we also have to work and suffer.
Liu Cui's belly has been more than three months old and she has a good appetite. With two stomachs for each person, she eats like a whirlwind.
Jiang Zao: “…”
Jiang Zao has money and tickets, so he usually eats well.
Not very hungry, nor very greedy.
But she didn't delay the dishes from coming up. She aimed her chopsticks at the ones with the most oil and the most delicious ones, and took a big bite.
Ginger and dates were placed in Liu Chunhua's bowl along with the vegetables.
Liu Chunhua looked down at the food in the bowl and felt indescribable emotions in her heart.
"Third brother, you..."
She took a train to the northwest, and the fourth brother complained to him and asked her to do laundry and work.
After coming back, the second son complained to her, the man complained to her, and no one asked her if she was tired or hungry.
Only the third child would give her food even if he didn’t eat it himself.
Liu Chunhua was touched, but she didn't take the food away.
Because she was just moved.
Deep down, she only feels sorry for her son and thinks it is her daughter's duty to respect her. She has some conscience.
"You are so filial."
Jiang Zao smiled slightly: "Eat it quickly, Mom, it will get cold soon."
If she couldn't eat it, she wouldn't give it away.
"Make way, the food is served!"
Another dish of potatoes stewed with tofu.
Potatoes grow in the fields, but tofu doesn’t. Tofu is also valuable and very fragrant!
The bowl of food was placed on the table. Liu Cui took a fancy to a large piece of tofu with a little bit of meat residue still hanging on it. She licked her chopsticks and was about to pick it up when a hand reached out from the side and picked it up with no time to spare.
Jiang Zao put the tofu into Liu Chunhua's bowl and said, "Eat more, Mom."
Liu Chunhua was so moved that she almost cried.
"You are so thoughtful, girl. You know that mother likes to eat tofu."
Jiang Zao smiled again.
What's intentional?
She simply didn't want to see Liu Cui eat what she liked.
After the banquet, everyone left with their stomachs full of food except Jiang Zao.
Feng Miao chased him to the door and spat. He turned around and bumped into his neighbor, who smiled and said, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are very good to you. You didn't go to Jiang Xing and Jiang Ming's wedding, and they even gave two yuan. No relationship can compare to that between brothers, sisters, etc. You should build a good relationship with your eldest brother and sister-in-law's family."
Feng Miao was so angry that his nostrils were burning with anger, but he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
"That's what my aunt said."
Liu Chunhua came back, ate her fill, drank some water, and called her family together to ask about their recent situation.
"How much did it cost?"
Liu Cui handed over the account book.
She ignored Liu Chunhua and had no family support, so she didn't dare spend money recklessly. Her accounts were quite clean, so Liu Chunhua didn't say anything.
After counting the bills, Liu Chunhua talked about the Northwest: "Your father's job, the third brother's job, is impossible to give to you, the second brother. You have never been to the Northwest. There is a lack of water, drought, and it is dry and hot."
"Old Four has suffered."
"I've decided to use one-third of the second child's salary to support the fourth child. Do you have any objections?"
Jiang Dashan shook his head: "No opinion."
Does Jiang Ming dare to have any objection?
If he dares to say no, I will use the soles of my shoes to teach him a lesson.
After finishing the second task, Liu Chunhua turned her attention to Jiang Zao: "Jiang Shan is already married, and you are not young anymore. It's time to get married."
Jiang Zao has made all the arrangements that need to be made. The situation in this life is completely different from that in the previous life.
"good."
Liu Chunhua: "Let's find time to see each other."
When getting married, the issue of bride price comes into play.
"The second brother and his wife should go back first."
Liu Cui still wanted to listen, so she slowly got off the bench and left with Jiang Ming, looking back every few steps.
After sending the second brother and his wife away, Liu Chunhua took a leisurely sip of water and asked, "Third brother, how much do you plan to ask for in betrothal gifts?"
Jiang Dashan was no longer sleepy in an instant.
The question was quite direct. Jiang Zao lowered her eyelashes, looking indecisive: "What do you think, mother?"
You can't leave this house without leaving some betrothal gifts.
Want to stay longer?
Naturally, she refused and wanted to listen to what they said first.
Liu Chunhua was very pleased with Jiang Zao's reaction. Her daughter was too opinionated to be controlled. "Considering the Xiao family's financial situation, the betrothal money cannot be less than 200 yuan, and there must be at least three turns and one ring. Thirty-two legs (a large wardrobe, a five-drawer kitchen, a desk, a dressing table, a sofa, a bed, etc., totaling 32 legs) must be beaten. Two sets of quilts for each season, spring, summer, autumn and winter. In winter, each quilt must contain at least 6 kilograms of cotton. There are no other requirements. Food coupons and cloth coupons are given as you see fit, and four tin thermoses are required."
All in all, it would be at least five or six hundred yuan.
Jiang Zao pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "If the Xiao family can afford it, how much does mother plan to take away for me?"
"When you get married, I'll give you the same amount of money as your eldest sister, 20 yuan as a small gift, a set of quilts for spring, summer, autumn and winter, two tin kettles for you, and 32 legs for you to keep."
After all this, Liu Chunhua had a rough idea in her mind.
After giving it to the third son, there would still be 180 yuan left for Jiang Jun from the betrothal gift. Three turns and one ring would make four sets of quilts. The winter quilt alone weighs six pounds, and two pounds of cotton can be extracted to make a few cotton-padded clothes for the men in the family.
Jiang Zao understood that when a family marries off their daughter or takes a wife, it will take some time because of the bride price.
She can only hold the betrothal gift in her own hands.
Jiang Jun doesn't deserve to use her money, nor does Jiang Ming, and no one in the Jiang family deserves it!
After hearing Liu Chunhua's plan, Jiang Dashan's brows relaxed, and the burden of supporting his son and daughter-in-law was lifted from his shoulders: "Listen to your mother, your mother won't harm you."
"Things are not left to outsiders, but to your brothers. You are a girl without roots, who can you rely on when you get married? You still rely on your brothers who are born of the same mother."
"If you are bullied in the Xiao family in the future, the brothers will stand up for you and help each other."
Jiang Zao couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
Just listen to this kind of talk.
When they finished speaking, their eyes fell on Jiang Zao, who said softly, "I don't think it's appropriate."
