Chapter 3 Bride Price



Especially as the distance between the two of them got closer, the faint medicinal aroma from Bai Ying rushed into his nostrils, stimulating him to the point of being even more unbearable.

Fortunately, the acupuncture just now was still effective for him, and it eliminated most of the effect of the medicine. In addition, he has been training in the army for many years, and his drug resistance is far beyond that of ordinary people. Now he can still hold on.

Shen Ao frowned and said, "You...stay away from me."

Seeing that Chen Ao's face began to turn red again, Bai Ying didn't dare to continue to provoke him and took two steps back. "Well, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will go back and tell my family about our marriage."

Normally, engagement requires the man to go to the woman's house to propose, but Shen Ao is a bad element who was sent to the farm and cannot leave the farm, not even to get married.

Especially for someone like Shen Ao who was sent to labor reform, he had no salary and only a pitiful labor allowance every month, so there was no expectation of him paying any betrothal gift.

Bai Ying thought that she would eventually get married, and instead of marrying an unknown stranger, it would be better to marry a good man like Chen Ao. After all, she had seen with her own eyes how upright Chen Ao was in his previous life.

"etc."

Shen Ao supported his forehead with one hand and turned the pillow over with the other. He took out a roll of banknotes from the interlayer and handed it to Bai Ying, "This is part of the betrothal gift."

"Um?"

Bai Ying blinked in disbelief, took it and unfolded it.

There are actually thirty great unity pictures!

Great Unity, which is the 10-yuan banknote.

Until the issuance of the 50-yuan banknote in 1980 and the 100-yuan banknote in 1987, the Great Unity Banknote remained the largest-denomination banknote of that era.

In terms of purchasing power, a Great Unity card is equivalent to several thousand yuan in later generations!

Three hundred yuan is an immeasurable amount of money.

Where did Shen Ao, a prisoner in a labor camp, get so much money?

Bai Ying felt that the money was a bit hot to the touch. She hesitated and asked, "You weren't demoted because you were an enemy spy, were you?"

Chen Ao laughed in anger, "No! This money comes from a legitimate source, just keep it. As for the three turns and one ring, I will have someone send it to your house in a few days."

"ah?"

Bai Ying was stunned.

Three turns and one ring are also called the four big items. They are a popular gift in the city. They are a watch, a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a radio. The total cost of these four items is more than 700 yuan. You need a ticket when buying them, and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.

Why do I feel like I have found a powerful supporter?
