Chapter 327 How to let people in
The An family came out to greet them warmly, and the man who was blocking the door forgot his job when he saw the jeep coming to pick up the bride.
When the groom entered the courtyard, those people slapped their foreheads and said, "Oh, why did they let him in?"
The guests in the courtyard burst into laughter when they heard this: "Xiaojun, you are too excited to see your brother-in-law. It seems that you are very satisfied with your brother-in-law, right?"
The younger brother of the An family rubbed the back of his head and laughed innocently: "It's because he was too fascinated by the jeep."
Guo Mingyue, the second sister-in-law of the An family, smiled and continued, "My family really likes Shaocheng as our brother-in-law. Those are just formalities. As long as Shaocheng treats my Xiaojing well in the future, that is more important than anything else. Don't you agree?"
Everyone in the courtyard laughed: "Yes, your Xiaojing is a lucky one."
The people who arranged to pick up the bride entered the house. After the two sides met, the people who picked up the bride were arranged to go to the next room. Not long after they entered the house, someone brought in four cold dishes. After someone drank three glasses of wine with them, they brought in dumplings.
Life is hard for everyone these days, and the An family's arrangement is the best. The young men who came to pick up the bride were very happy with the meal.
The An family has three sons and one daughter. An Xiaojing has two older brothers and a younger brother. The two older brothers are married, and the youngest brother An Xiaojun is in junior high school. Although An's father is somewhat patriarchal, An's mother has the final say in the family. In addition, An Xiaojing is the only girl in the family, so she lives a good life in the An family.
An's father works in the farm's production materials department, his eldest brother is a bulldozer operator, his second brother works in the farm's warehouse, and his second sister-in-law works in the farm's canteen. The family's conditions are considered upper-middle class on the farm, and with An's mother who loves her daughter so much, the dowry is considered generous compared to that of ordinary families.
Not long after the relatives put down their chopsticks, the bride's family started to move out the dowry: a dressing table with a mirror, which was considered a big item.
Next came two quilts, a jacquard blanket, and a towel blanket; there was also a new set of clothes for each season, plus a pair of small leather shoes and a pair of leather sandals; lastly, there was a thermos, two Double Happiness enamel basins, which contained a mirror, a comb, a soap box, soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
Many of the guests who were watching whispered, "The An family is really generous. They must have spent all the betrothal gifts given by the Qiu family."
"You all know that Xiaojing's mother loves her daughter the most."
"Some time ago, Xiao Jing's mother had a quarrel with her husband."
"What's going on?"
"An Jixiang didn't want to give Xiaojing such a large dowry, thinking that she still had Xiaojun, her younger brother, at home. But Xiaojing's mother didn't listen to him at all, saying that she would have to rely on her daughter to help with cleaning when she got old. Besides, the dowry is a woman's confidence, and she didn't want her in-laws to look down on her daughter. They disagreed and almost had a fight."
"And what happened next?"
"Xiao Jing's mother is lucky. Both of her daughters-in-law are good and stand on her side. Xiao Jing's two brothers have no objection to their daughters-in-law, so they naturally dare not object."
"No matter how unwilling An Jixiang was, he had no choice but to agree."
At this time, an inappropriate voice came in: "Instead of using this money to prepare a dowry for a little girl, it would be better to lend it to my family and let my Dajiang and Dahe marry a wife."
"Fan Yunxiang, today is Xiaojing's big day. How can you, as her second aunt, say such unpleasant things?"
"Am I wrong in what I said? A married girl is like spilled water. No matter how good you treat her, she will still belong to someone else's family."
