Chapter 431: Dowry



"This is the primary school I attended. It feels like it was so long ago, but I still remember it so clearly. I started going to school when I was six years old. There were winter and summer vacations each year. The winter vacation was around the Chinese New Year and lasted for more than a month, and the summer vacation was in the summer and lasted for two months. I went to school until I was less than 21 years old and graduated."

"When I was a kid, technology wasn't as advanced as it is now, and mobile phones weren't common. I always went out to play with my friends, catching stones, skipping rubber bands, and doing a lot of fun."

"And you?"

She had almost never heard him talk about his childhood.

When I first met him, he was already a villain that the immortal cultivation world feared.

Coming out of the conference room, Huo Fengyan took out his mobile phone and looked at the photos she shared, as well as her childhood memories, and the last two words: What about you?

His eyes were dim, and then he raised the corners of his mouth and replied: "I want to go and see it next time I come."

Never mention anything about your childhood.

Xu Qingzhi happened to receive a call. Her mother asked them to go back for lunch. She replied, "Okay." Then she put the phone back in her pocket and went back to her aunt's house for lunch.

Today's lunch has a rich menu, ten people, ten dishes.

When Xu Qingzhi met Pingjie's fiancé Zhou Le, he simply said hello as a greeting.

At the dinner table, Zhou Liang was still talking about this year's wedding banquet.

Because they were too far away, the man and the woman held separate ceremonies.

The woman's side will be held first, and the date is set on the 28th day before the New Year, and the man's side is set on the 7th day after the New Year.

At that time, other relatives had all returned at about the same time and there was no need to ask for leave. When the adults were discussing the wedding banquet, they wanted Wang Yanmei to prepare the dishes.

The family will definitely help relatives with this kind of relationship.

But preparing food is a big undertaking for a rural banquet, and Wang Yanmei dared not take it upon herself, "I can't possibly do it, Zhou Zhou has to do it, I can just help with the cooking."

Her aunt-in-law told her to trust her, and Wang Yanmei refused for a long time, but finally she only took the job of serving meals.

Xu Qingzhi was assigned to decorate the wedding room again. She nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhou Zhou also mentioned that he still plans to go to Kyoto to develop next year, so he won’t be able to work on the farm anymore.

Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang also understood.

After all, Kyoto is a big city, and the development prospects are definitely greater than at home.

Xu Qingzhi had no objection either.

Zhou Zhou touched his head and asked, "Xiao Huo runs a company in Kyoto. Can he recommend me some jobs? We don't know anyone else in Kyoto except Qinqin."

Qinqin is the son of my second uncle, Xu Qin.

People in rural areas have always valued personal connections, and like to rely on relationships to get things done wherever they go.

I always feel that relatives should help each other.

Even grandpa is no exception.

"Isn't Xiao Huo's company quite big? Can you let Xiao Huo make the arrangements?"

Before Xu Qingzhi could say anything, Wang Yanmei was already pretending to be strong, "Okay, I'll tell Xiao Huo later."

After lunch, the aunt invited the family to have dinner. Xu Zijun went to school to get her admission letter and was supposed to come back in the evening, so the Xu family refused.

Grandpa was invited to stay for dinner, and Zhou Zhou was asked to take him back on a motorcycle after dinner.

On the way, Wang Yanmei couldn't help but say, "Qingzhi, ask Xiao Huo what he meant. After you left, I heard from your aunt that he was entangled with a woman."

"I think we should put all your aunt's children in there, and they can help you keep an eye on them."

Xu Qingzhi was speechless, "That woman is Huo Ying."

"Yingzi?" Wang Yanmei hadn't reacted yet. "Then she must be his sister."

Xu Qingzhi said helplessly: "Yes."

"Oh, when I heard your aunt say that, I thought it was cholera." Wang Yanmei was still worried, "I think it's not a big deal for you to be so far away, so settle it as soon as possible."

Xu Qingzhi asked: "What's the matter?"

Wang Yanmei glanced at her and said, "What else could it be? It's about marriage. Look, Sister Ping is getting married this year, and your brother Zhou Zhou will probably get married next year. I heard that Qianqian is also going to bring her boyfriend back to celebrate the New Year this year. It's you."

Xu Qingzhi didn't care much and said, "I have a boyfriend too."

Singles are urged to find a partner, and those who already have a partner are urged to get married.

Wang Yanmei sighed and said, "In my life, my mission is to see you get married and have children. This mission is accomplished. While you are still young, you and Xiao Huo should have a child early. I can still help you take care of the child."

Xu Qingzhi looked at her and asked seriously, "Who assigned you this task?"

If Wang Yanmei hadn't been sitting in the passenger seat and Xu Qingzhi hadn't been sitting in the back seat, Wang Yanmei would have hit her. She was speechless after being scolded by her daughter and could only spit out one sentence: "I won't talk to you about this. I'll talk to Xiao Huo."

Xu Qingzhi knew her mother too well, and she replied directly: "You want to tell Xiao Huo to have a baby with me, do you have the nerve to say it?"

Wang Yanmei said this casually because she couldn't do anything about her daughter.

As a result, he was speechless and could only throw in the towel and say, "Forget it, I don't care about you anymore, you can get married whenever you want."

Xu Qingzhi didn't take this to heart. If her mother could really do it, it would be incredible.

It won't even take a month, and her mother will definitely bring it up again.

While riding in the car, Wang Yanmei couldn't stop talking. She could no longer think about her own daughter, so she started talking about her aunt's family.

"Your aunt said that the betrothal gift has been negotiated, and the man will give 120,000 yuan. Your aunt and her family don't have much money on hand, so they will add 30,000 yuan when the time comes. The 150,000 yuan will be deposited in your sister Pingping's bank card, and she will buy a two-year term loan, and then buy some furniture for the new house there, as a dowry."

Xu Qingzhi said: "I thought the betrothal gift was for the bride's parents."

Wang Yanmei was speechless when she heard this. She said excitedly, "What era is it now? Which parents would keep the betrothal gifts for themselves and not give them to their daughters? This is not selling their daughters."

Xu Fuqiang also said: "We don't do this here. The gift and dowry are just a topic. Some families keep them in the hands of parents for one or two years at most, and finally return them to the young couple."

"Didn't Xia Liannan's parents give the money to her brother or younger brother to buy a house?" Xu Qingzhi remembered.

Wang Yanmei frowned and commented: "So her parents are worthless. Isn't that what everyone is saying behind her back?"

"Young people nowadays face so much pressure in life that some cannot afford to buy a house. If a young couple wants to buy a house, both parents have to contribute to it."

"When you get married, no matter how much Xiao Huo gives as a dowry, mom and dad will give it all to you in the end. The farm is making money now, and we'll save the money you give to mom and give it to you as a dowry when the time comes."

"Invite Xiao Huo to our house this year, and I think you can settle things for next year."

Wang Yanmei talked freely.

Xu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows. Look, it hasn't been more than ten minutes and her mother brought it up again. (End of this chapter)
