Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Prepare the dowry!
When it was time to eat, the Qiao Wei siblings and their two children were so happy that they ran around the main room, saying, "There's chicken. Let's eat chicken."
Qiao Anshan looked at his happy daughter and son, then looked at his gloomy mother, and finally looked at Qiao Anchuan. He coughed and asked, "Second brother, is this given to you by Zhuo Zhiqing?"
Don't blame him for bringing up things that are not related to the topic. The truth is, in this family, he is the only one who can afford to offend the second child!
Qiao Anchuan, who was able to afford it, said quietly: "Mom said, you go to work tomorrow and I will go to build the house."
Qiao Anshan, who wanted to build a house but didn't want to go to work: "..."
He turned around and asked, "Mom, my second son is anxious to get married. Why don't we both stop working and stay home to build the house? There's strength in numbers."
He can't compare with the second brother. He can't even imagine the treatment the second brother gets at work.
Liu Hongying sneered: "Don't worry, when we start building the house, you two brothers won't have to go to work. There's no need for both of you to be at home now."
Right now I'm just busy with some preparatory work, such as buying bricks and so on. It doesn't require both brothers to be there for this.
Qiao Anshan: "..."
If he had known this would happen, he would not have provoked the second brother.
After dinner, Qiao Anshan was just about to find Qiao Anchuan to reconnect with him, but he saw Lao Er running out like a chased dog.
"Mom, where is the second son doing?" Qiao Anshan asked curiously.
Liu Hongying took a deep breath and said, "I've gone to see Zhuo Zhiqing. If you're bored, go wash the dishes."
Oh my God, when can we divide the family? She really doesn’t want to serve these two stupid sons anymore.
Qiao Anshan choked, coughed, and said, "Well, Mom, I have something to tell Dad.
”
It’s all the second son’s fault. Ever since he came back, his mother’s temper has become worse and worse. She gets angry at the slightest thing. Alas, this is not good for her health.
This time, Qiao Anchuan came to the educated youth site with great confidence. When someone asked him about it, he even smiled at them. It must be said that he has grown very fast.
Li Zhuang and another male educated youth came back from fetching water and called out to Zhuo Jia, who was sitting in the yard chatting, "Zhuo Zhiqing, your partner is looking for you."
To be honest, they now don’t know whether they should envy Zhuo Zhiqing or Qiao Anchuan, or whether the gays envy Qiao Anchuan and the lesbians envy Zhuo Zhiqing?
Hearing Qiao Anchuan coming to see her, Zhuo Jia stood up without hesitation: "I'll go out and take a look."
Other educated youth: “…”
This is without any hesitation!
Zhuo Jia trotted outside and saw Qiao Anchuan waiting outside with a lunch box. She ran over and took the lunch box: "I'm not in a hurry to use it. Why don't you rest early? You've been tired all day."
You are so tired from work, you should go to bed early.
Qiao Anchuan smiled foolishly at her, then took out the passbook from his pocket and handed it to her: "Jia Jia, this is my savings. I will give it to you from now on. You can spend it as you like. I will support you."
Otherwise, it would be a waste of Jia Jia's food. Not to mention that he could not get past his mother, he couldn't even get past the hurdle in his own heart.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
She was really shocked now. Isn't it too early to hand in the passbook now?
Thinking this way, Zhuo Jia couldn't help but ask, "No, if you give me the passbook now, aren't you afraid that I'll run away with it or spend all the money in it?"
Could it be that Qiao Anchuan could see through her surface and see the kindness in her heart?
Qiao Anchuan smiled and said, "Jia Jia, don't worry about spending the money in the passbook. I will give you my monthly allowance from now on."
As for the talk of running away with the passbook, well, he just pretended not to hear it!
Zhuo Jia stuffed the passbook back and said, "I don't want it now. Give it to me after we get married."
She had never heard of anyone handing over their bankbook just because they were dating. Besides, she was not short of money!
Qiao Anchuan, who hadn't given the passbook away, blushed. He touched his nose and repeated what his mother had said, finally saying, "I will definitely build the house as soon as possible, and we'll get married when it's done!"
This way he can send out the passbook as quickly as possible.
Zhuo Jia's eyes lit up: "Then you must pay attention to it."
She is still waiting to get married and move out. As for whether to go to work or not, well, she won’t go anymore in the future!
Qiao Anchuan nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will definitely take it to heart."
He wanted to get all his brothers to help build the house, first his own, and then his eldest brother's!
The two talked for a while before Qiao Anchuan reluctantly left.
…
When Zhuo Jia returned to the educated youth camp, she received several pairs of curious looks. She calmly locked the door and waved her hand: "Go to sleep quickly. You have to go to work tomorrow."
They are so tired during the day, but when they talk about something new at night, they become full of energy.
"I won't go to work tomorrow. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Zhang Yunhuan was the first to respond to Zhuo Jia's words.
After hearing Zhang Yunhuan's words, Zhuo Jia fell silent, and the others also fell silent, and then everyone looked at Zhang Yunhuan.
Sun Ye couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Zhang Yunhuan, I'm going to fight you."
It’s bad enough that they work hard, but how can someone say such outrageous things?
"Hahaha, please let me go, Jiajia, help me."
Zhang Yunhuan was no match for her opponent and was pinned to the kang and tickled. He gasped for breath and begged for help from Zhuo Jia.
Zhuo Jia silently turned her head away, pretending that she heard nothing. You know, although Sun Ye was a female educated youth, she was able to get full work points just like the men in the village. No one dared to provoke her.
Seeing that no one could fall asleep for a while, Feng Xiaoyu looked at Zhuo Jia and asked curiously, "What does your partner want to see you for?"
Ahem, actually she wanted to ask directly whether the wedding date had been set. If it had been set, they would have to hurry up and buy a wedding gift for Zhuo Jia.
Zhuo Jia looked at Feng Xiaoyu with an indescribable look and said helplessly, "Nothing. He just said he won't be going to work tomorrow and will stay to prepare for the house building. He also told me that I don't have to go to work anymore and asked for leave for me."
When we first met, Feng Xiaoyu seemed so steady and reliable, but now that we're familiar with each other, his true nature is revealed!
After hearing her, Feng Xiaoyu stopped going to work. Although she had expected it, she still raised her hand and slapped herself on the mouth, saying, "You're so talkative!"
Sun Ye spared Zhang Yunhuan's life and asked Zhuo Jia curiously, "Building a house is quick. It will be finished in ten days or half a month. Are you going to get married after the house is built?"
As for the fact that Zhuo Zhiqing's girlfriend didn't go to work, they all guessed it. After all, what she earned in one day's work was not enough for Zhuo Zhiqing to send her to replenish her body. No matter who replaced her, she couldn't continue to work!
However, there were more people gossiping in the brigade. Most of them said they had never expected Zhuo Zhiqing to have such a wealthy family. If they had known...
Well, luckily Zhuo Zhiqing married into a family with strong financial support!
Zhuo Jia said generously, "It should be."
After all, Qiao Anchuan's vacation was there, and both she and Qiao Anchuan wanted to get married before he left.
Others: “…”
Let’s not say anything more and just think about what gift to buy for Zhuo Zhiqing!
…
The next day, everyone else went to work, while Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan each pulled up a chair and sat in the shade of the yard to chat.
Zhang Yunhuan asked, "When did you start preparing for your wedding?"
It just so happens that she has nothing to do, so she can come and help out.
Zhuo Jia asked blankly, "Do I need to prepare anything?"
Isn't she just waiting to get married?
Zhang Yunhuan was also confused by the question: "No, you have to prepare your dowry, right? Or I should call my mother and ask her."
As for asking other female educated youth, there was no need to ask at all. Those people's experience was based on the female educated youth who had already married into the brigade. She had asked about them all. Those female educated youth just got married directly with the luggage of the educated youth point and the gifts prepared by other educated youth.
But Jia Jia is different. Jia Jia is rich, so she has to prepare beautifully!
Zhuo Jia couldn't sit still any longer. She straightened her back and said, "When I came here, I made a new quilt. This can be used as a dowry. I also have some fabric. I can ask someone to make new clothes. What else do you need?"
This involves a blind spot in knowledge!
Zhang Yunhuan was also bewildered, but this did not affect her excitement at all: "Don't worry, even though you are getting married from our educated youth camp, it will definitely be a grand affair."
Zhuo Jia silently turned her head away. She didn't believe it was still lively because they were not allowed to hold big events now!
"How much fabric do you have? Let's see what clothes we need to make and then find someone to help," Zhang Yunhuan continued.
Finding someone is the easiest, because almost all the women in the team can make clothes, so we can find the one with the best skills.
Zhuo Jia thought of her pile of cloth and pulled Zhang Yunhuan into the house. She also brought a piece of black and white checkered cloth from Hecheng, which could be used to make a top.
Oh, when Lin Yu took her to the warehouse to see the defective products, she also asked for a piece of yellow cloth, which could also be used to make a top. As for the pants, she didn't need to choose, she could just use dark-colored cloth to make two pieces.
"Why don't you have any bright red fabric?" Zhang Yunhuan flipped through the folders and said with some regret.
Weddings are such festive occasions, so you should dress festively.
Zhuo Jia rolled her eyes at her: "What are you thinking? You rarely see red fabrics on the counters of the supply and marketing cooperative."
They were sold out immediately!
Zhang Yunhuan frowned and asked, "What about the ready-made clothes?"
If I can’t buy fabric, I should be able to buy ready-made clothes, right?
"There is no supply and marketing cooperative in the county." Zhuo Jia said angrily.
As long as there are ready-made clothes, she won't have to buy fabric.
Zhang Yunhuan thought of the small supply and marketing cooperative and waved away the topic. "Do we need to prepare furniture or something? I remember that families in our area often give their daughters dowries of cupboards, cabinets, chairs, and so on."
She thought this was better, after all, she had a new house.
Zhuo Jia blinked and nodded in agreement: "I think you are right, let me discuss it with Qiao Anchuan!"
This might be the only time she gets married in her two lifetimes, so she has to make it beautiful, especially since she has no shortage of money.
Zhang Yunhuan was so excited to have a partner who wouldn't spoil the fun: "There are also beddings. I think one might not be enough. Should we make another one?"
Although cotton and cloth are not easy to get, she thinks that as long as she has money, it is not difficult!
Zhuo Jia nodded in agreement: "You're right, we need to prepare another thick bed."
Her current quilt weighs only five pounds. It’s thick now, but it will be cold in winter. The most important thing is that she is going to use it herself!
"Anything else?" she asked Zhang Yunhuan.
When Feng Xiaoyu and the others came back, she would ask them too. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang!
Zhang Yunhuan counted on his fingers and said, "You seem to have things like a red porcelain basin and a red towel, so you don't need to buy any more. You also have a watch, so you should buy a bicycle..."
"Yes, we have to buy it." Zhuo Jia nodded.
At this moment, the two of them were discussing the dowry enthusiastically. As for what the man should give after they had prepared everything, they had not considered it at all!
