Chapter 55 Sewing Machine and Radio
Since people said so, Zhu Aihua stopped being hypocritical, otherwise it would seem like she was taking advantage of someone she didn't like.
However, this shows how good Lu Wan's family conditions are and how much her parents love her.
Her son was really lucky to marry such a good wife.
Later, she would have to remind the third brother to be nicer to Lu Wan in the future.
The little princess that her parents hold in their hands has married into their family, so they must not let her down.
Zhu Aihua arranged a room to store Lu Wan's dowry.
The whole family came out to help move all the dowry off the truck.
People who came to join in the fun also stretched their necks to see what was being unloaded from the truck.
It would have been better if they hadn't watched it, but after watching it, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Wow, Lu Zhiqing’s parents are so rich, aren’t they?
There is no need to talk about the high-quality bedding that was unloaded from the car.
Enamel basins, thermos bottles, and other daily necessities are also prepared.
There were not only big things, but also a sewing machine and a radio.
In those days, sewing machines and radios were unthinkable for country people.
Just buying a sewing machine requires a lot of industrial coupons, and the price is also expensive. A cheap one costs about 100 yuan, and a more expensive one costs 200 to 300 yuan.
The sewing machine that Lu Wan's parents bought was of good quality at first sight.
This Butterfly brand sewing machine costs three hundred yuan.
You have to know how low the wage level was in those days. An ordinary worker only earned about 15 to 35 yuan a month.
A sewing machine is equivalent to what an average worker earns in a year.
So in this era, buying a sewing machine for a family was like buying a big item, similar to buying a car in the 11th century.
Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, not everyone can afford a sewing machine. Only those who work in good units and have high salaries can afford it.
The radio is also cheap, and a radio costs about one hundred yuan.
Lu Jun always picked the best ones for Lu Wan, and this radio cost him one hundred and thirty yuan.
Just the two big items cost more than four hundred yuan.
The country folk had never seen such a generous dowry before, and they were even more amazed and envious of the Su family and Su Zhenhua.
It took a while to move all the things.
Zhu Aihua arranged Lu Wan's dowry.
Seeing so much dowry, Zhu Aihua couldn't calm down for a while.
Why did she feel more and more that her little brat was not worthy of Lu Wan?
Zhu Aihua thought about it, the Lu family had such good conditions, and it was a miracle that their parents agreed to let Lu Wan marry a country boy like them.
After moving all the things, Lu Wan and her parents didn't stay at the Su's house for long, as they had to go back to prepare dinner.
After watching the excitement, the production team members went back to prepare dinner.
Zhu Aihua looked at Lu Wan's dowry that filled an entire room, and thought about taking out the only lock in the house, locking the door, and then arranging for the children in the house to watch over her.
Otherwise, with so many valuable things, it would be heartbreaking to lose any one of them.
Su Zhenhua's sister-in-law Wang Jinfeng sighed, "Mom, originally a bicycle was given as a dowry for Lu Zhiqing, which was already grand enough, but who would have thought that they would even bring a sewing machine and a radio..."
Comparing the dowry her parents had given her, Wang Jinfeng suddenly felt that she was a head shorter than Lu Wan.
However, seeing the huge dowry that Lu Wan brought, Wang Jinfeng was not jealous.
After all, Lu Wan was from the city, so she couldn't compare with her. She thought that she had an average level of status among the country women's dowries.
Zhu Aihua also didn't think about it at all, and followed Wang Jinfeng and said, "Well, these things are valuable goods, keep a close eye on them, and don't lose them."
While Zhao Yumei was jealous, she couldn't help but reach out and touch the sewing machine.
Seeing that Zhao Yumei's hands and feet were not honest, Zhu Aihua scolded her, "If you don't know how to do it, don't touch it randomly. If you break it, you will be responsible."
After being scolded by Zhu Aihua, Zhao Yumei curled her lips and was not very happy.
"Mom, let me touch it. Can it hurt?"
"What if it's broken? Can't you just not touch it?"
Zhao Yumei withdrew her hand angrily.
"Don't touch it, don't touch it. If you don't touch the sewing machine, who cares!"
Hearing what Zhao Yumei said, Zhu Aihua couldn't help but retort, "You talk as if you can afford it!"
Zhao Yumei's face turned red.
It's strange that she can afford it.
Not to mention a sewing machine, she couldn't even afford a piece of fabric that Lu Wan's parents bought.
Speaking of dowry, Zhao Yumei's eyes fell on the dowry that Lu Wan brought as a dowry.
The army probably bought Lu Wan more than a dozen pieces of cloth.
These materials are enough for adults to make dozens of sets of clothes.
Not only are the ingredients delicious, but there are also many varieties.
There are pure cotton, polyester, and dacron.
Zhao Yumei stared at those pieces of Dacron fabric, unwilling to take her eyes away.
In those days, Dacron was very popular in the city, but people in the countryside could not afford it.
In the former production team, there was a young wife who had married into the city. When she came back to her parents' home, she wore a Dacron shirt and showed it off in the village.
The dacron that Lu Wan's parents bought can be used to make many sets of clothes!
Zhao Yumei wanted to get one right away so that she could make herself a set of clothes and show them off in the production team.
Zhu Aihua saw her eldest daughter-in-law with shining eyes, and she was obviously thinking about Lu Wan's dowry. She quickly said, "Okay, there's nothing to see, get out!"
As she spoke, Zhu Aihua began to chase people away.
Everyone else left consciously, only Zhao Yumei looked back reluctantly.
Zhu Aihua took out a lock directly from the house.
This lock not only protects against outsiders, but also against family members.
The eldest brother's wife is such a person that she could definitely steal her younger brother's wife's dowry.
Seeing Zhu Aihua locked the house, Zhao Yumei secretly complained in her heart.
Her mother-in-law is so stingy that she can't even look at him a few more times.
The next day, the news that Lu Wan's parents had prepared a generous dowry for her spread quickly throughout the production team.
There were not many entertainment activities in this era, and once there was any gossip, it would spread to everyone.
Naturally, this matter also reached Jiang Qingguo's ears.
Jiang Qingguo knew that Lu Wan's family was well off, but he didn't expect it to be this good.
If he had known this would happen, he should have been with Lu Wan earlier. Why would he keep Lu Wan hanging?
Jiang Qingguo felt that Lu Wan must have had a good impression of him before, but later she fell in love with Su Zhenhua and now abandoned him.
If it weren't for Su Zhenhua, Lu Wan would have married someone other than him. The dowry that Lu Wan brought with her, as well as everything in the Lu family, also belonged to him.
Unfortunately, Su Zhenhua showed up halfway and poached his staff.
Jiang Qingguo clenched his fist unwillingly.
No, he must think of another way to stop Lu Wan from marrying Su Zhenhua.
The two of them haven't officially gotten married yet and obtained a marriage certificate, so he still has a chance.
