Zhou Chengsen was confused: "What's going on?"
How can giving a dowry when getting married be reported?
"A few days ago, a leader's son got married..."
Ruan Tang explained it.
It turned out that at 8 o'clock this morning, on his way back from morning exercise, Mr. Ruan heard a few gossipy people discussing on the side of the road that a leader had been reported for holding a wedding banquet in a big hotel.
After hearing about this, Mr. Ruan asked in detail and learned that the other party held a wedding for his son in a hotel with a total of eight tables. The dishes included lobster, sea cucumber, and all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. Then, the wedding was reported the next day. After investigation, he was punished for violating party discipline and demoted.
After hearing this, Mr. Ruan immediately ran home and asked Ruan Tang to call Zhou Chengsen. However, it was his grandmother who answered the phone and said that they had already set off.
The whole family was afraid that Zhou Chengsen would be reported because he gave too much gift.
Then Grandma Ruan went out to the courtyard and waited.
It happened that in the morning, the compound was full of people buying groceries and going to work. Everyone asked her why she was standing there, and she said that her grandson-in-law was coming to deliver the betrothal gift, and she was watching to see if he had arrived. She also mentioned that Zhou Chengsen was a fisherman and his family's fishing boat made a lot of money.
Otherwise, with Grandma Ruan's personality, she wouldn't show off these things.
She just wanted to tell everyone that the Zhou family was very rich, so that everyone would have high expectations for the bride price and not make a fuss.
Zhou Chengsen didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Many things have obviously been relaxed a lot now.
He comforted Ruan Tang: "I was careless. I should have sent it here before dawn so that no one would see it. Most people would not report it for no reason. Every family has children getting married. If you are afraid that the Feng family will report it, I will go to their house tonight and stroll downstairs."
Ruan Tang: “…”
Still going?
"But I don't think they would dare to do that."
The last time Zhou Chengsen came to Beijing to prepare for the bride price, he met Feng's mother and Feng Bing's cousin on the way. When they saw him appear near their home, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. They originally wanted to go home, but changed their route and said they were going to the department store to buy things.
Ruan Tang: "It's not certain that their family will report it. Who knows if there will be people who will be jealous."
There are always some competitors at work, and we all live in the same yard.
"I am not afraid of being reported. A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of being criticized. Every income of my family's fishing boat is recorded in the purchasing office, and every month I will pay taxes with receipts and income certificates issued by the brigade. All income is legal and compliant, and cannot be reported. Besides, the gift I gave was not much, just an extra motorcycle, not a car. There should be people who do the same, right?"
Ruan Tang also knew about paying taxes, and she was not very worried. It was her grandfather who was worried. Her grandfather was very proud, and in his eyes, being reported or investigated was not a glorious thing.
"My mother said that you bought so many electrical appliances, and they would have to hire tricycles to transport them back to me as my dowry."
Zhou Chengsen: "Don't use it as a dowry, leave it to the two elders. They are all the home appliances that the family lacks. We have everything at home. I also bought two motorcycles. When the time comes, I will leave a women's motorcycle in the city. You can drive it to and from get off work. I will drive the men's motorcycle back to the village. When you rest, I will drive the motorcycle to pick you up home."
When he has enough money at the end of the year, he will buy a jeep and drive her back to the village.
Ruan Tang said to Zhou Chengsen again: "My mother also said that your betrothal gift is so valuable, why give so much as a gift money? She is worried that you will spend all the money."
Zhou Chengsen grabbed her waist and pressed her towards him: "Didn't I say that I would marry you with all my heart? So no matter how much dowry I give you, it's not as valuable as yours."
“…”
Suddenly hearing his love words, Ruan Tang couldn't help but feel her heart pounding. She couldn't respond to his words, so she had to change the subject: "It must have cost you more than 10,000 yuan to prepare the betrothal gift, right? Do you have any money left?"
Ruan Tang knew that he used the money from selling mussels to buy a four-bedroom, two-living-room house in the city, and only her name was written on the property certificate.
Zhou Chengsen looked at her rosy face and said, "Don't worry, we still have the money for the wedding banquet."
Ruan Tang glared at him. Was she worried that she didn't have enough money for the wedding banquet?
Zhou Chengsen bent down and kissed her. They hadn’t seen each other for a few days and only met yesterday, but her family was there. They didn’t do anything. Just when he was about to deepen the kiss, he heard a call from outside: "Asen, Xiaotang, it’s time to eat!"
Ruan Tang was startled, and quickly stepped back and responded, "Coming!"
*
Due to time constraints, Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang had to go back to work and could not take so many days off. The day after giving the betrothal gifts, they held a simple wedding in Jing City.
It’s really that simple!
Nowadays, people hold wedding banquets either in state-owned canteens, in hutong courtyards, or in company auditoriums. Some factories offer subsidies for holding wedding banquets at work, but not all companies have this benefit.
It is impossible since Ruan Tang and Zhou Chengsen's units are not in Beijing.
So Zhou Chengsen had already booked a table at the state-owned canteen.
It was also his bad luck. Mr. Ruan was determined not to invite too many people. In order to avoid the risk of being reported, he ended up only having two tables.
A table of food, including cigarettes and alcohol, costs 60 yuan, and you also need food coupons, meat coupons, and oil coupons.
If there are two tables, then only two families can sit together and eat.
If Zhou Chengsen had not already reserved six tables and could not cancel them, Mr. Ruan would have wanted to set up a few tables in the family yard instead.
Now I have to invite them three times. The remaining relatives can be invited in the morning and evening when they come back next time.
Jiang Xia remembered that in two years, the Beijing market would cancel foreign exchange coupons, and ordinary people would be able to hold banquets in some big hotels, but the cost would be very high, and ordinary working-class people would not have the money to hold banquets in hotels.
After the banquet, when the family was leaving the restaurant box, they met Kong Ning who was there for dinner.
Kong Ning was stunned when she saw Ruan Tang wearing a red dress and Zhou Chengsen wearing a suit. They were dressed like a newlywed couple.
Then he subconsciously looked towards the private room, wanting to see how many banquet tables were there.
Something happened yesterday that shocked the whole city, and they actually dared to commit a crime against the law and hold a banquet in a hotel?
At this moment of stunnedness, Zhou Chengsen also saw her. Kong Ning wanted to hide but it was too late, but she still hid subconsciously.
This man is perverted. He has followed her twice when she was off work!
Zhou Chengsen stopped her and said, "Comrade Kong, today is Ruan Tang and I's wedding day. I'd like to invite you and your cousin's family to have some wedding candy. Please help me deliver it to them. If you don't want to, I can do it myself."
Zhou Chengsen took out a few bags of wedding candy from the bag and gave them to her.
Kong Ning's face turned pale: "No, no need!"
Zhou Chengsen smiled and spoke in a gentle but unyielding tone: "If you want it, take it! Take the wedding candy. Isn't it good for everyone to live happily? Right?"
Kong Ning was so scared that he subconsciously took it over: "Yes!"
Zhou Chengsen said again: "By the way, did you see clearly how many tables there were in the private room just now? If you didn't see clearly, I'll tell you, there are two tables, and each table costs about 60 yuan. Go and report it!"
“…”
"Who wants to report it?" Kong Ning denied it flatly.
This psychopath is even crazier than her cousin!
Kong Ning said this and hurriedly left with the wedding candy.
After leaving the restaurant, she saw a trash can and threw the wedding candies into it!
At that moment just now, she did have the idea of reporting them.
But since Zhou Chengsen had said so, how could she dare?
And there were only two tables, so reporting it was useless. Even if there were many families eating out, they would have to be divided into two tables.
The people of the Ruan family would not be so stupid as to commit a crime against the law.
She thought again that Zhou Chengsen was a madman who was even crazier than her cousin, and he was a madman with brains, unlike her cousin who had no brains when he went crazy!
If Zhou Chengsen went crazy and killed her, the police probably wouldn't be able to find evidence.
Thinking of this, Kong Ning completely gave up the idea of reporting it.
Forget it, don't mess with him!
Otherwise you won’t know how you died.
Thinking back to the last time I was beaten, it hurts. (End of this chapter)
