Su Tiantian touched her belly with her left hand, squatted down gently, entered the password, and opened the safe. The safe was on the ground, and it was inconvenient to open it by standing up, so she had to squat down, which was a bit difficult for Su Tiantian, who was six months pregnant.
The babies probably didn't like their mother squatting like this, so they stretched out their little feet and moved around. Su Tiantian cried out softly, supporting herself on the ground with her right hand and gently stroking her belly with her left hand.
Liu Jingze hurried out of the bathroom when he heard the sound. Seeing this situation, he became anxious. He walked over quickly, helped Su Tiantian up, then picked her up and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Tiantian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Jingze looked a little panicked.
Su Tiantian shook her head gently: "No, it was just the babies kicking me, a little hard."
"What do you want to take from the safe? Ask me to get it next time." Liu Jingze was sweating from anxiety. God knows he almost thought Su Tiantian had fallen.
Su Tiantian could of course hear the worry in Liu Jingze's tone, and said weakly: "I want to get some money to give to grandma, dad and others later. Can you help me get it?"
Liu Jingze was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to give them money?"
Su Tiantian glared at him and said, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, shouldn't we give some money to the elders to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Liu Jingze said: "I didn't give it before."
Su Tiantian was so angry that she reached out and pinched Liu Jingze's face: "That was before you got married. You are not a child anymore. On major festivals and birthdays, you should give some money to the elderly to show your appreciation and make them happy."
Liu Jingze quickly hugged Su Tiantian's waist, not worried that she would hurt herself, but worried that she would fall: "I didn't think of this. Now I remember that you gave grandma 3,000 yuan on her birthday."
Su Tiantian released the hand that was pinching Liu Jingze's face and said, "Grandma, Dad, Godfather, and my parents all have to give, so the total is yuan. There must be enough cash in the safe, go and get it."
What she was thinking was that Brother Jing's skin was still so smooth. He obviously went out frequently, sometimes visiting construction sites in logistics parks and building sites, but his skin was no worse than hers, who sat in an office every day. It was indeed Brother Jing who had been handsome since he was a child.
Liu Jingze certainly knew that there was definitely enough cash in the safe.
Not to mention anything else, just on the day of their wedding, Grandma Lu, Liu Liangjie, and Liu Zhaosheng gave the couple red envelopes for tea, each worth 9,900 yuan (meaning long-lasting), and there were six of them, which was almost 60,000 yuan. In addition, Liu Jingze's four uncles and four aunts gave the couple red envelopes for tea, each worth 3,800 yuan, for a total of 16 yuan.
When the three brothers returned home, the Su family gave red envelopes to the new son-in-law. Not counting the others, Su Jinyuan and his wife gave Liu Jingze 8,800 yuan each, and the two red envelopes were 100,000 yuan. These red envelopes added up to more than 100,000 yuan. Liu Jingze gave all the red envelopes he received to Su Tiantian, and Su Tiantian did not deposit them in the bank, but kept them in the safe.
Last time, Su Tiantian gave 100,000 yuan to Su Zhihao. The reason for giving the money to Su Zhihao was that he and Li Yunling asked to buy dragon and phoenix bracelets with smaller grams. The 60-gram piece was reduced to 38 grams, and the two bracelets weighed more than 40 grams less. Originally, they wanted to give a bigger red envelope during the tea drinking, but then they thought it was not very reasonable. After all, the amount of the red envelope could not exceed that of their parents, right?
So Su Tiantian asked her parents, how much money should be given in a red envelope when Jingge and I drink the "New Bride Tea"?
Su Jinyuan was silent. Su Jinyuan and his wife had decided to give Su Zhihao and Li Yunling a red envelope of 8,888 yuan each (Su Jinyuan meant that the red envelope given to Liu Jingze was 8,800 yuan at the time, and the red envelope given to his son should be slightly larger than that given to his son-in-law, but not too much more). In fact, he didn't want to give Liu Jingze such a big red envelope at the time, but the red envelope the Liu family gave to their daughter was 9,900 yuan each, so the red envelope they gave to Liu Jingze couldn't be too small, right?
Su Jinyuan and his wife needed to give a total of 4 red envelopes on the wedding day, which was almost 40,000 yuan. Su Zhihao and others also agreed. They felt that instead of asking for a pair of heavy dragon and phoenix bracelets, it would be better to ask for more cash, as cash is more practical than jewelry.
So how much did Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze give in red envelopes for the "bride-in-law tea"? According to local custom, the elder sister and the brother-in-law prepared a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets. So, when drinking tea, they gave red envelopes of 1,000 yuan each, a total of 4,000 yuan each. No one gossiped, after all, a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets is worth a lot of money.
However, when Su Tiantian got married, Su Zhihao personally gave her a dowry of 200,000 yuan, bought a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, each weighing 60 grams, and also gave Liu Jingze a gold necklace. It was a give-and-take, and Su Tiantian's red envelope couldn't be too small, but if she gave too much, exceeding her parents', she would be laughed at.
Later, Liu Jingze proposed to give 100,000 yuan to Su Zhihao first, and then the day before the wedding would be the day for the gift, with a gift of 100,000 yuan. On the wedding day, they would drink "bride tea" and prepare four red envelopes of 6,800 yuan in addition to the pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets.
Before Su Jinyuan could raise his opinion, Su Zhihao jumped in to object. What a joke! He was asking his sister and brother-in-law to give him a 100,000 yuan betrothal gift. How would he even need to show his face in public? He was truly afraid people would laugh at him for being greedy. According to local customs, a 10,000 or 20,000 yuan betrothal gift for a brother-in-law's wedding was considered a great honor. After all, even the betrothal gift was only a few thousand to tens of thousands.
Su Zhihao agreed to accept the 100,000 yuan, but asked for a gift money in the amount according to local customs. He said that he was willing to give it to his sister as a dowry and had never thought of asking his sister to return it all.
Su Jinyuan also meant this. He said, "It doesn't matter how much money you give as a gift. I won't accept too much. Let's just follow the customs."
