The pants looked ordinary, but the top seemed to be made of silk. The fabric had a dark pattern of peony branches, which shone with a pearly luster in the sunlight. It was so beautiful that you couldn't take your eyes off it at first sight.
If she remembered correctly, there was a very rich female student in her class who had worn a dress made of similar fabric. According to her, such clothes had to be exchanged for overseas remittance coupons and could only be bought in overseas remittance stores.
Then he looked at himself: a scarlet Dacron lapel suit, dark blue wool-polyester blend leggings, and shiny pigskin shoes.
The fabric of the clothes is a luxury that is only available inside the garment factory. Even the buttons are made of rare plexiglass. The Lu family has invested a lot of money, but compared with Jiang Xiaoci's, it is far inferior.
Bai Miaomiao immediately felt uncomfortable, and even Lu Yaozu felt that he was not as dazzling as his uncle who was elegant and handsome standing there.
Bai Miaomiao couldn't help but whispered sarcastically, "Brother Yaozu, I see Jiang Xiaoci's clothes are made of completely different material than mine. Hers is made of real silk, which is not cheap."
Could the Lu family actually treat her differently in these two relationships? She had never thought about it before, and now she felt very uncomfortable.
But Lu Yaozu was also uncomfortable. It turned out that he was just like Bai Miaomiao, thinking that he could defeat his uncle, Jiang Xiaoci and the others today.
But now, not only does the clothes on my uncle look much better than mine, but even Jiang Xiaoci's dowry is astonishingly large.
Lu Yaozu rarely spoke to her, so he said indifferently, "Well, I don't know. Anyway, it was all arranged by my family."
When Bai Miaomiao heard this, her face immediately turned red with anger, but seeing that Lu Yaozu was still craning his neck to look over there, she felt a little guilty and didn't dare to say anything else.
After all, both sides' wedding processions were equipped with a dowry team of 6 people, but what kind of dowry could Bai Miaomiao have? The Bai family felt that their daughter was getting married at a disadvantage, so they simply didn't give a penny and just gave it to one person.
Bai Miaomiao went to Lu Yaozu to cry and complain several times, and Lu Yaozu felt that he was in the wrong. After finally getting some money in the past few months, he secretly gave all the money he had saved to Bai Miaomiao as a dowry.
Even so, Bai Laosan and his wife were still jealous, but Bai Miaomiao felt it was shameful and worried that it would be even more embarrassing to marry into the Lu family, so she refused to let them succeed.
Only then did she buy a few pieces of slightly decent dowry.
It was just a few wooden boxes, symbolically filled with some peanuts, longans and red dates, which meant the early birth of a son.
There were also a few quilts and several sets of daily necessities, and the rest were Bai Miaomiao's personal clothes packed. There was nothing else.
Of the six-person dowry team, only four were used to carry the dowry. The other two were idle and helped to shout and clear the way, doing odd jobs.
As for Lu Zhoushan, Jiang Xiaoci's parents were eager to move everything they could from their home to her.
There are four sets of brand new bedding, corresponding to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, with bright colors and soft texture.
There were also eight heavy wooden boxes, which were filled with things, such as longan, red dates, peanuts and other dry goods, all in a whole box.
The rest of the money, grain, cloth, rice, flour, grain and oil were all packed in bottles and jars, filling up the boxes and then carried onto the carts.
Not to mention the brand new washbasins, thermoses and other practical items.
There were also two small double-door cabinets with red Double Happiness patterns that were recently custom-made, and they required four young and strong men to lift them.
The 6-person trousseau team was totally insufficient, and the groomsmen had to be dispatched to help carry it all.
Even so, Jiang Decai and his wife still felt it was not enough. Lu Zhoushan persuaded them a few times and they finally gave them face and stopped stuffing more food in their mouths.
