"Let's have some fun, let's have some fun!"
Zhao Tingnu was so angry that her nose was crooked, but she didn't dare to make trouble at the scene. She looked at the onlookers watching the fun and walked away a little angrily.
At this time, the old man was also carrying a basket of eggs and distributing them everywhere, with a proud smile on his face.
"Hey, my family has a baby granddaughter, so I cooked some eggs. You all can eat them, eat them all!"
Smelling the fragrance of eggs, the men were in a dilemma whether to take them or not.
Don't take it, these are eggs! These days, who would be willing to eat eggs at home? It's good enough to have enough to eat.
Take it. These are eggs that will be given out for giving birth to a granddaughter. What if their family also has the bad luck of giving birth to a granddaughter and all they give birth to are granddaughters?
The old man said, "What are you all standing there for? Take it. If you don't want to eat it, give it to your children at home!"
Only then did they take the eggs with a smile and congratulate.
If adults eat it, they might worry about bringing bad luck, but if children eat it, there's no need to worry so much. Besides, they're all eggs, so what's the difference?
The family of Hua Wanli's boyfriend Fang Jianzhong was also among them. Fang Jianzhong's mother Wang Dajuan saw that her in-laws were so wealthy, and she started to scheme.
Wan Qingliu specially gave two extra eggs to her future in-laws, hoping to improve the relationship between the two families so that her granddaughter would be treated well after marrying her.
Wang Dajuan smiled and said, "Aunt, our Jianzhong and your Lili are about to get engaged. We plan to give them a 200 yuan betrothal gift, plus a sewing machine, a watch, and a radio!"
Fang Jianzhong's family are all farmers, but he worked hard and got a job in a factory in the county town. He also worked there for a few years, so it's not surprising that he saved so much money.
But the betrothal gift was so generous that it attracted everyone's attention. They had never seen such a generous betrothal gift before, and some people even married without asking for any betrothal gift at all.
Someone enviously said: "Your family is really sincere in marrying a daughter-in-law!"
Wang Dajuan was slightly proud: "Of course, our family is not that stingy. Marrying a daughter-in-law is the norm!"
"Oh right," Wang Dajuan said her purpose, "Three turns and one ring, our family has donated three items, why don't you donate the remaining one? I'm not greedy for anything, it's all for the young people to take away. If our two families help out a little more, their lives will be better after they get married, right?"
The four major items of marriage: bicycle, watch, sewing machine, and radio.
There is only one thing left, and that is the bicycle.
Wan Qingliu remained calm and said, "Well, you know that Lili's parents have the final say on her marriage. What right do I, as her grandmother, have to say?"
"Besides, we have no problem eating, but how can we afford a bicycle? My eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter of the factory director, and she hasn't even gotten a bicycle ticket in all these years."
It’s not that Su Qiuying couldn’t get a bicycle ticket, but her home was very close to the factory, and buying a bicycle would cost a lot of money, so it was unnecessary.
But the other people in the village didn’t know. When they heard Wan Qingliu’s words, they all understood.
"Yeah, how can we farmers in the countryside afford something as expensive as a bicycle?"
"Our family can't even think about it!"
Wang Dajuan was speechless when she saw this, and only said regretfully: "Well, let's talk about it later."
Wan Qingliu didn't respond, but bent down and started cutting rice.
Unexpectedly, I moved so much that a ticket fell out of my shirt pocket.
Many villagers were literate and read out the words when they saw them.
"Bicycle ticket!"
