This was not a happy topic, so Xia Ruzheng tactfully stopped talking about it.
"Thank you so much to you and National Day this year. In previous years, we had to hire people, and it might not have been this quick."
"What's the big deal? It's all deserved. In fact, we should be extremely grateful to Uncle Chunfu. The daughter he raised with great effort has suddenly become the son of our two families, and he has also received such a generous dowry." It's rare that Wen Zhichao was born and raised in such an era and still has such thoughts.
Perhaps it was because Wen Zhichao had received many rejections due to his appearance, and now that he was able to get married, Xia Chunfu was willing to marry his daughter to him, which was indeed a great favor to him.
Xia Ruzheng smiled, not knowing how to respond. Wen Zhichao continued, "Are the preparations going smoothly? If anything goes wrong, or if there's anything you want, tell me and I'll get it for you."
Xia Ruzheng said, "I don't think I'm missing anything for now. I'll let you know when I think of something."
"Well, don't be polite to me."
At this time, Xia Ruzheng gradually relaxed and couldn't help but laugh: "Why should I be polite to you? I will definitely not be polite to you!"
Wen Zhichao also laughed: "It would be best if you don't be polite to me!"
When the cow arrived at the pond, it walked to the water's edge, but instead of drinking water, it walked directly into the water, then bent down and began to bathe in the water.
In the summer, cows are afraid of the heat and there are many mosquitoes and flies. Bathing can cool down the heat and drive away some mosquitoes, making the cows feel much more comfortable. After a hard day's work, cows really deserve this kind of welfare.
The cow was content in the water, only breathing air through its nose. Two people sat on the shore, looking at the cow in the water from time to time, and a slightly ambiguous atmosphere spread.
"I've been busy at home these days, so I'll start packing after I'm done. I'll prepare the three major items, so don't worry. If you want anything, just tell me."
Xia Ruzheng was indeed a little shy, but she thought about how, despite being married in her previous life, she hadn't dared to ask for anything because the Huang family was so poor. She had married with grievances and hadn't lived a good life. Now that she had the chance to start over, how could she not seize it? Besides, she wasn't a naive young woman anymore, so being shy would seem hypocritical.
Xia Ruzheng tilted his head and thought about his past life before answering, "Actually, I was thinking that since I'm married into your family, my living standards can't be any lower than before, right? For example, the bed should be soft, I should have access to toothpaste and soap, I should have my own towels, and the room should be big and spacious enough."
"I've thought of all this. Don't worry. I'll replace the bed with a two-meter-wide one with a frame. We won't use straw for the quilt, but cotton. The floor in the room has been pounded flat. If you like, we can use broken tiles to make patterns on the floor. I've also had the roof fixed. It won't be covered with rain cloth. I know you like to be clean, so you can bathe every day with soap. We'll also use soap for washing clothes."
Xia Ruzheng frowned and said, "Wouldn't this be too difficult for you? You probably don't have much money, right?"
Wen Zhichao smiled and said, "Don't worry about money. Even if we're short of money, it's not your concern. Just focus on getting married. When we get married, all the money will be in your hands. Don't worry about that. I've already promised Uncle Chunfu!"
Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but blush at this moment. Why did this guy always show his loyalty? And he didn't even listen to his father about this matter!
"But in other families, men are in charge of the money," said Xia Ruzheng.
It wasn't that Xia Ruzheng was being polite; she felt she had some talent for making money, but managing it was a different matter. In her previous life, Huang Zhong had always held onto his money, so tightly that Xia Ruzheng never even touched a cent. She had to meticulously report every penny she spent, or else she'd be beaten. Even more bizarrely, Huang Zhong knew every single price in the supermarkets around their home. If Xia Ruzheng didn't buy the bargain, she'd be punished.
Thinking of these past events, Xia Ruzheng really wanted to kill Huang Zhong, but at the same time he also admired himself. He could live for decades under such circumstances. His vitality was too strong!
Wen Zhichao said matter-of-factly, "Of course a man has to earn money for his wife. Only when he can't make enough will he be so stingy with what little money he has. And from now on, you'll be in charge of socializing, managing the children's spending, and paying respects to your parents and father-in-law. Money will be spent everywhere, so of course you'll be in charge!"
Xia Ruzheng thought back. In his previous life, Huang Zhong had indeed taken care of all these matters. At first, she had a small dowry, so Huang Zhong and Mrs. Du would find ways to ask her for money. Later, when she ran out of money, Mrs. Du would also find ways to ask Huang Zhong for money. Later, Mrs. Du's demands for money became a battle between mother and son. However, when she died, Mrs. Du was still a vigorous old woman with a strong fighting ability. As for favors, Huang Zhong had learned the Du way. He only took in money and never gave it out. Except for giving money to the higher-ups, no one else could get money from him. The children in the family had no change for snacks. Even the notebooks and pens were bought by Huang Zhong and left at home. So, the children were still using pinyin notebooks in high school. It was really absurd. Xia Ruzheng had tried to persuade him, but it was useless. Huang Zhong simply loved money.
Thinking about all the things that happened one by one, Xia Ruzheng felt that God had blessed him so much in this life.
"Well, since you trust me, I will help you take good care of it."
Wen Zhichao said, "Of course I believe you. My father said so, so my mother-in-law will definitely let it go. I'm sure you're not bad either."
