Chapter 373: Use and Throw Away
"Ah?" Yang Jinsheng shouted in surprise, "Xiaobai, don't talk nonsense. You're ruining Xiaoxue's reputation."
"That's nonsense. When I saw Jiadong like that and Xiaoxue's red face, I knew something was going on between them. But young people nowadays are different from us back then. They're going to get married anyway, so it's not a big deal."
"Xiaobai, you can't look down on Xiaoxue because of this. She is a very outstanding girl and a very nice person." Yang Jinsheng had a very good impression of Xu Ruoxue.
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Am I that kind of person? I like Xiaoxue a lot, and I'm urging them to get married quickly! But now I'm worried that Xiaoxue's parents don't want her to marry far away. Hey, when Jiadong comes to visit us, we have to prepare some more gifts to show him our sincerity."
"Yes, I am always worried when my daughter marries far away." Although Yang Jinsheng does not have a daughter, he still understands that feeling.
"Hey, Jinsheng, how much do you think the bride price is in Sichuan Province? How about you ask someone about it tomorrow? That way we can be mentally prepared." Jiang Xinbai has already started preparing for the bride price.
"We gave Manman a betrothal gift of 5,000 yuan, so Jiadong can only follow this standard. Any more or less will not look good." Yang Jinsheng thought that the difference between his two daughters-in-law couldn't be too big.
"That's true, but that was five years ago. It should have increased a little. Six thousand should be the minimum." Jiang Xinbai weighed it.
"Well, let's see what the Xu family says then."
"Yes, maybe the customs are different, so our words don't count. When Jiadong gets married, we won't worry too much about them. After all, he and Xiaoxue both have high salaries. I heard from Jiadong before that Xiaoxue also has a salary of 5,000 a month. The two of them together make more than 10,000 a month. Don't you think that people who are well educated will be popular!"
Jiang Xinbai now feels that nothing is better than studying. Look, apart from anything else, Jiadong’s monthly salary is a stable income, how stable!
"Yeah, he's not like Jiabao. He's happy when the business is good, but upset when it's not."
"That can't be helped. It's his fault for not being able to study. I just hope Xinxin and Xiaobo won't be like Jiabao."
In the room, Xu Ruoxue locked the door and took out the red envelope that Jiang Xinbai had given her. She opened it and saw that it was full of dark blue hundred-yuan bills. She counted them one by one and found that there were exactly ten bills, which was one thousand yuan. Then she put the money back into the red envelope, thinking that Aunt Jiang was really satisfied with her.
Then she thought of what her parents said, and thought that since she was going to develop in Hai City, marrying Jiadong wouldn't be considered marrying far away, right? Thinking of this, she comforted herself and happily lay down on the bed to rest.
In the evening, Yang Jiabao came with his family. As soon as they entered the house, little girl Xinxin went straight to Yang Jiadong.
"Uncle, you're back! Mom said you brought a beautiful aunt back. Is it this sister?" Yang Dingxin leaned on Yang Jiadong's legs, then secretly looked up at Xu Ruoxue.
Xu Ruoxue was touched by the cuteness of the little girl and quickly introduced herself: "Hello, you must be Xinxin, you are so cute, you can call me Aunt Xiaoxue!"
Yang Dingxin looked at Xu Ruoxue steadily and smiled sweetly, "Hello, Sister Xiaoxue."
"Hey, you little girl, you call her sister and call me uncle, you are of different generations, just call her aunt." Yang Jiadong patted the girl's hand and said.
"No, my sister is pretty, but my uncle is not pretty." Yang Dingxin threw herself into Xu Ruoxue's arms, looking like someone who had secretly eaten candy.
Xu Manman was amused by her daughter's look and quickly explained, "On the way here just now, she was still talking about wanting to see the pretty aunt. This little girl has liked looking at pretty people since she was a child. Xiaoxue, you have grown up to her aesthetic standards."
At this time Jiang Xinbai also came over and said with a smile: "That's right, our Xinxin is a person with good taste. Aunt Xiaoxue is prettier than little uncle, right!"
Yang Dingxin nodded, "Yeah, sister is beautiful."
As soon as these words came out, several adults laughed again, "This girl must call me sister."
Yang Jiabao sat next to his brother and asked in a low voice: "Jiadong, when are you planning to get married?"
"Getting married?" Yang Jiadong glanced at Xu Ruoxue, "I still have to go to Xiaoxue's house to visit her parents first. I haven't gotten their approval yet."
"Oh, then you'd better hurry up and try to complete the major event in your life this year. I already have two children, so you'd better hurry up." Yang Jiabao smiled and hit his brother.
"I'll try my best!" It's true, seeing his niece and nephew, Yang Jiadong became more eager to start a family. It happened that he hadn't taken last year's New Year's holiday yet, so he would find some time to visit Xiaoxue's house and try to get married this year.
Xu Manman and Xu Ruoxue also had a very pleasant chat, and they both agreed to go shopping together next time they came back.
At night, after Xu Manman coaxed the child to sleep, she leaned on her husband, sighed, and said with some melancholy: "Hey, Jiadong is getting married. In the future, Mom will have two daughters-in-law. She won't love only me anymore."
"Puchi," Yang Jiabao laughed out loud, "Manman, are you jealous of Jiadong's girlfriend?"
Xu Manman hit her husband lightly and said unhappily, "What's wrong with being jealous? Xiaoxue is so outstanding, and I can't compare to her. I'm afraid that Mom will like her more by then."
"If you say so, I am no match for Jiadong. Should I also worry about losing favor?" Yang Jiabao smiled and shook his head, thinking that his wife was simply overthinking.
"That's different. You are their biological son, and your parents like you no matter whether you are good or bad. But I'm different." Xu Manman knew that Xu Ruoxue was a college student with a high salary, and was much better off than her.
"Why is it different? We are husband and wife, we are one, we share the good and the bad. But you can also think about it from another angle. You see, Jiadong will definitely develop in Haishi in the future. Although it is not far away, he will definitely seldom come back on weekdays. We are with our parents and we take the children to visit them from time to time. The relationship is developed through getting along with each other. Which daughter-in-law do you think your mother will like more?" Yang Jiabao guided with a smile. Hey, his wife is sticking to a dead end, he has to pull her out!
Xu Manman thought so too, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's right, Jiadong and his wife will be far away from us in the future, and mom and dad will spend more time with us. Hehe, mom will definitely like me more."
"Yes, that's right. Now you can sleep peacefully!"
Xu Manman turned off the light and said with a smile, "Go to sleep. I'm so sleepy. Don't disturb me! I'm going to sleep."
Yang Jiabao: “…” So you just throw it away after use!
