Chapter 56 If She Thinks That Way, I Can't Do Anything About It (Page 1/2)

Early the next morning, before daybreak, Han Shiguo and Jiang Qian got up.

The things had been packed long ago. The luggage was not much, just a suitcase with two people's spare clothes, and a bag with some miscellaneous items. The rest were the quilts that Jiang Qian brought as a dowry.

These are to be taken away.

But I didn’t bring things like a kettle.

Because Han Shiguo said that everything was available there, after he repaired the house and cleaned it, he still bought some furniture and daily necessities.

Everything you need for life is there. If you really need something, you can just go there to buy it. It is also very convenient with the shuttle bus.

The young couple got up early and originally wanted to go to the city to eat, but Han's mother got up early and cooked egg porridge for them.

In addition to the egg porridge, I also boiled ten eggs for them to take with them on the road.

While they were having breakfast, Han's father and Han Shimin also got up. And Han Jiadong, the eldest nephew who had grown up, heard the noise and knew that his uncle and aunt were leaving, so he got up to see them off.

"Shimin, don't you want to go into the city with us? Eat something too." Han's mother called her eldest son.

Han Shimin nodded, brushed his teeth and sat down to eat breakfast.

While they were eating, Uncle Han Jiu, who raised donkeys in Hanjiatun, came driving his donkey cart. Han's father went to give him cigarettes and chat with him.

Soon Han Shiguo, Jiang Qian and Han Shimin also finished eating.

Mother Han also gave Jiang Qian ten boiled eggs, wrapped in an old patched cloth, and said, "Take them with you on the road."

"Thank you, mom." Jiang Qian took it.

Time is limited, so there is no need to say anything else. The three of them, watched by Han's father and mother and Han Jiadong, rode on Uncle Han Jiu's donkey cart towards the city.

However, just after leaving Hanjiatun Village, we met the brothers Jiang Shoutao and Jiang Shouhe who were riding bicycles.

"Second brother, third brother!" Jiang Qian was surprised and shocked to see them.

Jiang Shoutao smiled and said, "Mom said you guys would come at this time, so I prepared some food for you to take with you."

A basket was handed over, which contained not only buns wrapped in oil paper, but also four apples.

"Why are there still apples?" Jiang Qian asked.

Jiang Shouhe smiled and said, "I went to pick up your third sister-in-law yesterday and took a look at the supply and marketing cooperative. I happened to have some, so I bought a few kilograms. I'll give you some to take with you on the road."

After chatting for a while, the second brother Jiang Shoutao said, "Okay, no more small talk, you guys go into the city, and remember to be careful on the road!"

"Second brother and third brother, you guys go back too. I'll send you a telegram when we get back!" Jiang Qian said.

"Okay." Jiang Shoutao and Jiang Shouhe both agreed.

Han Shiguo also asked his two uncles to drive slowly on their way back.

When the donkey cart drove towards the city, Jiang Qian gave steamed buns to Uncle Han Jiu, Han Shiguo and Han Shimin.

Her mother must have gotten up in the middle of the night to make these buns, as they are all very big.

Uncle Han Jiu didn't want it, but Han Shiguo stuffed it into his hand, so he took it and ate it with a smile.

But he couldn't help but praise the Jiang family. You know, the dowry that the Jiang family gave to their daughter Jiang Qian was known all over Hanjiatun.

It is said that the betrothal gift given by Han Shiguo was generous, but the dowry he brought back was not stingy either.

And through Jiang Xiaogu's mouth, everyone also knew that the watch was for Jiang Qian, and the gift money of one hundred was also for her daughter to take back to her husband's house as private money. But after her parents accepted the three major items, the bicycle, the sewing machine and the radio, they gave an additional two hundred as a dowry. In addition, the total cost of purchasing the dowry was about one hundred and fifty.

There is nothing wrong with saying these things, and you can express them openly.

So it is true that the Jiang family received a high bride price when marrying off their daughter, but this was something the man was willing to give because he had the ability to do so. The girl's family did not raise the price arbitrarily, and the dowry they gave was not small either, so the man did not get any advantage at all.
