I don’t know if the army was also anxious about the soldiers’ marriages, but Lu Yanzhou’s marriage application was approved unexpectedly quickly.
It arrived in Lu Yanzhou's hands a few days before the New Year.
On the day the application was approved, Lu Yanzhou hurried to the Shen family to deliver the betrothal gifts, and made an appointment with Shen Anan to get the marriage certificate the next day.
Shen Anan naturally agreed.
As soon as the Lu family left, Grandma Shen from the Shen family took charge and left all the food and fifty yuan.
The remaining fifty was given to Yang Hongmei to take back to Shen Anan as the "bottom of the box".
The Shen family gave Shen Anan two thick quilts and two new sets of clothes as a dowry.
Plus washbasin, kettle, pillowcases, pillowcases and quilt covers, etc.
Don’t think that these things are worthless. They are very valuable in this era, and they add up to dozens of dollars.
It is generally difficult to buy so much cotton for the quilt alone.
Their family was able to have these two new quilts thanks to their younger sister-in-law who married into Miantian Village.
"This is the money your grandma gave you to keep in the bottom of the box. Your grandma asked you to go to her at night." Yang Hongmei handed the fifty yuan to Shen Anan and told her to go to her grandma.
I also want to know what secret my mother-in-law will give to her daughter.
"knew!"
Shen Anan nodded, not really caring.
She was counting the things she was going to take to the Lu family in the room and piling them up at the end of the kang.
Shen Zhuzhu felt indescribable discomfort when she looked at Shen Anan's things, and there was also a hint of reluctance.
He also became sarcastic towards Shen Anan.
"The Lu family is quite generous. Shen Anan, tell me how you managed to coax Third Lu into paying such a large betrothal gift? Sister, why don't you learn from them?"
In her previous life, she only had 100 kilograms of food and 50 yuan, which was much less than Shen Anan's.
Her grandmother didn't give her a cent of the fifty yuan, and her dowry was less than Shen Anan's. It was her mother who secretly gave her some money as a deposit.
Is the Lu family so biased?
Shen Anan glanced at Shen Zhuzhu and instantly understood that this guy's pink eye disease had recurred.
She looked at Shen Zhuzhu innocently:
"Does this need coaxing? Shouldn't he be given it? Even this is still my mother trying to pressure her to give less. He has been in the army for so many years, his allowance is very high!"
Through spending time together, she has come to understand that her second sister is just a silly girl spoiled by her parents.
Short-sightedness makes it easy for people to be tempted by small favors.
If this kind of woman were to live in later generations, she would be the easiest to deceive.
Shen Zhuzhu said with some disdain: "I know, the allowance is about 70 or 80 yuan a month, but he is very filial, and the allowance has always been given to his mother. You may not be able to get much."
So what if the allowance is high? In his previous life, he gave most of it to her mother.
Because she was spending money lavishly, he only gave her some pocket money.
A stingy man will end up being a cripple, she doesn't want that!
Shen Anan will only be in the limelight for a year or two at most, but she wants to be in the limelight for the rest of her life.
"Seventy or eighty allowances? And all given to his mother? Second sister, how did you know this?" Shen Anan asked in surprise.
She laughed inwardly at this person because Lu Yanzhou really didn't like her. In her previous life, when she married him, he even lied to her about the amount of her allowance.
She didn't want to argue with her anymore.
"Ah? I... I just heard Lu Baozhu say this before. Have you ever asked this when you were together?" Shen Zhuzhu asked somewhat embarrassedly.
She had truly forgotten that she was not familiar with Lu Yanzhou in this life, and she really shouldn't have known this news.
In fact, in his previous life, Lu Yanzhou never told her how much the allowance was. After all, this guy didn't want to marry her at the beginning.
But he sent her fifty dollars a month and his mother thirty, and she only then realized that this man's allowance was as high as eighty.
Shen Anan looked at her meaningfully: "I didn't ask. Anyway, he said that he would take care of the allowance for me in the future, so I didn't ask these questions!"
Even if this guy lived ten more years, he would still be confused. She was too lazy to bother with a fool.
"Hmph!" Shen Zhuzhu left unhappily.
When she went out and saw her grandmother, she remembered the pair of gold bracelets her grandmother gave her before she got married in her previous life.
I just don’t know what I will give Shen Anan this time.
That night, Grandma Shen took out two pairs of jade bracelets and two pairs of gold bracelets for her to choose from.
Shen Anan was stunned after seeing it.
"These are all treasures I've collected over the years. I asked your brothers and sisters to choose the same way. You can choose one from them."
Grandma Shen said indifferently, but her eyes were watching Shen Anan’s actions.
She didn't mention that when she was choosing for those children, her grandson gave her a pair of gold bracelets and a pair of jade bracelets.
When Shen Qingqing was given the choice, she was given a pair of jade bracelets and a set of gold jewelry.
After all, people are always selfish, and even if they are all grandchildren, she will always value them differently.
But whether they were grandsons or granddaughters, these people finally chose gold.
Shen Anan stepped forward, picked up the pair of the most transparent bracelets, and looked at them hard against the kerosene lamp. Is this made of glass?
Such a transparent bracelet must be made of glass, right?
The kind that is worth at least a villa in the future.
"This bracelet is so good, grandma, are you really going to give it to me?"
Shen Anan looked at the pair of jade bracelets with a look of disbelief on her face. As for the other bracelets, she simply skipped them.
She liked jade and other things in her previous life, so she studied them for a while.
This bracelet is so transparent, even if it is not glass type, it must be high ice type. It is definitely more valuable than other gold bracelets.
"Since I've put it out there for you to choose from, it's naturally yours. You have a good eye, and you're worthy of being the most promising child in our family. You'll definitely go further than the others in the future. I won't let this go to waste."
