Li Erhe did not have cloth coupons, but he could exchange them on the black market.
Thirty yuan is enough for a wedding, and buying some cloth coupons is not a problem either.
Gu Qingbei is like a boy who gives away money.
"Your sister has some cloth coupons. Why don't you ask her to give you some?"
Gu Qingbei received cloth coupons every month, but his parents didn’t need them, so he sent them back.
He knew that Jiang Mengxue had everything she needed.
Jiang Mengxue rolled her eyes. Why did this guy act like a nouveau riche?
However, Jiang Mengxue was not so reluctant to give these things to her cousin, but she would not give them to her for free either.
We are all smart people, and Li Erhe will not take it for nothing.
Are you going to the commune by yourself or are you coming to pick up Daya to go with you? If you are going together, I will give it to you when you come to pick her up.
"Don't be silly and just buy fabrics when you go. You should buy at least one of the hairbands, vanishing cream, and clam oil that girls like. Your future wife will be happy to receive the gift."
Gu Qingbei is also making every effort to share his experience.
Erhe listened very carefully.
Jiang Mengxue couldn't help but ask, "How do we give the betrothal gift? We can't just not do anything at all. It won't look good anyway."
Erhe pondered for a few seconds and decided to ask Daya.
My parents have already made it clear that they will give me 30 yuan for the wedding and they don’t care how you spend it.
Even if all the thirty yuan was given as a betrothal gift, they wouldn't say anything, as long as they could marry a daughter-in-law.
But Erhe also wanted to see what Liu Daya meant. After giving the betrothal gift, it was definitely because the Liu family did not intend to give Daya a dowry.
He also wanted to see Daya's attitude, which would also determine how their small family would get along in the future.
Jiang Mengxue went to hand Daya over and gave the two of them a few minutes to talk alone.
They were not far away, but both of them spoke in low voices, so Jiang Mengxue really couldn't hear what they were saying.
But Erhe and Daya came back after a while.
Although Erhe didn't say anything, it was obvious that his expression was much more relaxed.
Daya went back to the house, and Erhe said seriously: "I have discussed with Daya that the betrothal gift is three yuan, no more, no less. When the time comes, we will buy some candies for my sisters at home to share."
Liu Daya didn't want to spend too much money on her wedding. Wouldn't it be better to save the money for her future life?
According to her father's personality, no matter how much betrothal gift he gave her, he could not give her a dowry.
Liu Erhai was thinking about having a son.
I guess her mother decided to make her some clothes on her own and didn't tell her father.
Liu Daya's attitude was also very clear. Unless the Liu family was really in dire straits, she didn't want to get involved.
It is natural to be filial to one's parents. She does what she should do, but forget about helping them regardless of her own life or death.
Now that the deal was settled, Jiang Mengxue went back to the house and told Gu Meifeng and Sun Fenfen.
"When Daya is free later, let Erhe take her to visit the county."
Gu Meifeng also added: "Yes, let young people choose what they like.
Daya Niang, if it's suitable, let's discuss a suitable time and finalize the marriage for the young couple."
After all, both families are very anxious.
It had not been long since Old Master Liu passed away. If the marriage was not arranged within three months, Daya would have to observe mourning for at least a year.
Previously, Daya's marriage was not settled, so Sun Fenfen was a little anxious.
Now that Daya and Erhe’s marriage is settled, Sun Fenfen is no longer in a hurry about when to get married.
"It depends on the Li family. If they're in a hurry, they have to do it within two months, otherwise they can wait a year."
What Sun Fenfen said meant that she had no idea about the date of her daughter's wedding and it all depended on the man's decision.
As a matchmaker, Gu Meifeng cannot make the decision on this matter and still has to go back and ask Erhe's parents.
"Okay, I'll go home and discuss it with Erhe's parents, and then I'll come to your house in a few days."
The matter was settled, and then everyone started chatting.
The food over there has been prepared.
Today is special, so I didn’t invite Gu Zhenxing and Wang Daya to come over.
However, after all the dishes were served, Li Cuiying still asked Gu Qingbei to send a bowl over there.
After all the food was served, Sun Fenfen and Wang Daya were almost shocked.
All the dishes contained more meat than vegetables.
Twice-cooked pork, braised pork ribs, braised pork, braised spareribs, and blood sausage stewed with sauerkraut.
If you didn’t know about the food on the table, you would think they were slaughtering a pig for the New Year.
Even if you slaughter the New Year pig, you won’t have such a sumptuous meal.
"It's really too expensive. We can just have a simple meal. How can we make so much for one meal?"
Sun Fenfen is really feeling a little uneasy now.
After all, Erhe and Jiang Mengxue are cousins, not biological siblings.
Erhe was just going on a blind date, but Jiang Mengxue's family prepared such a sumptuous meal.
Sun Fenfen immediately regretted staying. She should have left immediately after meeting him.
She smelled meat coming from the kitchen, but she only thought there would be one meat dish, with more vegetables than meat, just to add some meat to the flavor.
But she didn't expect Li Cuiying to have prepared so much.
Li Cuiying brought a basket of pancakes from the kitchen.
These were all pasted on the pancakes when the braised pork was stewed just now. They are covered with the soup from the braised pork. The pancakes are fragrant and delicious enough just by eating them alone.
"Don't be polite, sit down and eat as much as you want. It's so hot now that the food can't be put away.
Hi, yesterday I went up the mountain and hunted a small wild boar. It's too small to share with the others, so I'll just eat it for a meal."
