Chapter 206: The Control Group in the Chronological Text (22)
Su Yu discovered a problem.
That is, as a reborn person, I have a generation gap with people of this era.
Especially with Yang Jun.
Communication is extremely difficult.
How can Yang Jun's thinking be so outdated?
Everything is still arranged by his mother!
Every time she talked to him, she felt angry. If it weren't for his future achievements, she really wouldn't want to talk to this blockhead anymore.
Never mind.
Yang Jun is not the big boss he was in his previous life, so we can't judge him by higher standards.
Moreover, he spent most of his time in the military, where his interpersonal relationships were simple, so it's normal that he didn't understand those intricacies.
Su Yu comforted herself in this way.
However, seeing her cousin's wedding, with all the preparations being made and her grandfather taking charge, and the groom, Wan Zhiqing, also being very attentive and thoughtful, she felt very uneasy.
"Mom and Dad, what should I do about my marriage? Grandpa is so biased. You have to stand up for me."
She couldn't help but complain to her parents.
Su's father was also somewhat helpless upon hearing this. He only had one daughter, and of course he wanted her to get married in a grand and respectable manner.
However, when it came to money, the daughter took the initiative to speak up, saying that she was not materialistic.
Now I need to get things done.
What can we do?
The old man has already passed away, and there's really not much he can do. The family doesn't have much savings, and he can't very well empty his savings to save face when he marries off his daughter.
So he said, "Since the Yang family wants to run this together, let them take the lead."
Su Yu was speechless for a moment.
At this point, she also regretted it a little. She really didn't expect that getting married would cost so much money. She was too impulsive.
"Mom and Dad, why don't you go to the Yang family and talk it over again? This, this, there's no way to do it."
After hesitating for a moment, she said hesitantly.
It would be good to ask for some more dowry.
Upon hearing this, Su's father also fell silent.
Should we let him go and talk to him again?
He's tongue-tied and really doesn't know how to talk, and besides, he himself feels it's not easy to talk to her, after all, he's felt the domineering nature of Yang Jun's mother.
"I... I'll go talk to your grandfather."
This matter still depends on the old man.
As a result, when he told Grandpa Su, he got a scolding.
"Su Lao Er! You have a sense of shame, but I don't? Before, when I wanted to talk about the bride price, what did your daughter say? She said she wasn't materialistic, making it seem like I, this old man, am materialistic."
"What? Now you think it's hard to get things done without money? You want this old man to swallow his pride and go negotiate again? I'm not going! If you want to go, you can bring your daughter with you!"
The old man's beard bristled as he berated his son.
Let whoever wants to go go; he's not going.
Su's father was rebuffed by the old man, and in the end, he had no choice but to take his daughter with him.
This was Su Yu's first time visiting the Yang family.
Yang Jun's mother warmly welcomed them, and the whole family came over to greet them, praising Su Yu for her high level of awareness and for being a non-materialistic girl.
After finishing the meal.
Su's father didn't even get a chance to speak.
Su Yu herself felt embarrassed. The father and daughter hesitated for a long time without saying anything. Finally, Yang Jun's mother said that there was no need to prepare a dowry. They had their own things, so it would be fine to keep it simple. Then, she saw the father and daughter off.
On the way back.
Su's father sighed silently.
He really didn't have the ability to negotiate.
Su Yu lowered her head and remained silent.
She even had a feeling that the Yang family atmosphere was not bad. Sigh, let's just leave it at that. Anyway, there's no way to talk about it anymore.
After returning home.
The father and daughter tacitly avoided mentioning the matter.
Of course, as the only daughter in the family, Su's father did not completely neglect her. He paid for several new quilts out of his own pocket, and Su's mother still had some silver jewelry, which, although a bit old, she kept for her daughter when she got married.
That's all.
thin.
It does seem a bit thin.
Especially compared to Su Hui's dowry, which included countless large and small items, and even rare items like bicycles, it seemed rather meager.
Su Yu felt very sad.
But there was nothing she could do, and she couldn't even complain, after all, she was not a materialistic woman.
So she simply adopted a haughty attitude and pretended to be nonchalant.
This actually improved her public image.
Many families with sons praised her for setting a new trend.
In particular, Yang Jun's mother praised her repeatedly in front of others, making her feel extremely important.
Su Yu finally felt a little better.
He seemed to have gained more confidence when facing Su Hui.
"Su Hui, love is simple, and one shouldn't be too materialistic, otherwise, it definitely won't last long."
She even made a point of lingering in Su Hui's room, saying something seemingly casually.
Su Hui was in a good mood.
Having no desire to argue with her picky cousin, she simply smiled and remained silent upon hearing this.
Su Yu felt like she'd punched thin air, a tightness in her chest making her uncomfortable. She took two steps forward and looked at Su Hui. "What? You don't agree with me?"
Su Hui nodded. "I agree."
Su Yu felt even more choked up.
We can't continue this conversation.
She discovered that her cousin was truly skilled at making people angry; even when she was agreeing with something, she could still infuriate her.
Unfortunately, there was no reason to get angry.
Back in my room, I got angrier and angrier, and I didn't sleep well all night.
She became conflicted again.
Moreover, this conflicted feeling persisted until the very end, reaching its peak on the day of Su Hui's wedding.
Su Hui's wedding was a very lively affair.
It was arguably the most lively wedding in the village in recent years.
The Su family's banquet was organized entirely by Grandpa Su. He invited Old Li and his son, who were the best cooks in the village. There was no chicken, duck, or fish, but they did manage to get over ten kilograms of pork. Each table had a large pot of pork stew with vermicelli. There were many guests, and they had to borrow a lot of bowls, chopsticks, tables, and chairs from the villagers to make the arrangements.
Even more surprising is—
Wan Zhiqing came to pick up the bride. Although it wasn't very far, he somehow managed to borrow a car—a Hongqi brand—and personally drove it to the main road not far from the Su family's house.
This left the villagers speechless.
Even Su Yu was stunned for a moment.
This... isn't it a bit too ahead of its time?
Where did Wan Zhiqing get such great abilities?
When she followed the wedding procession to the courtyard of the village school, she realized that although the scale of the event was not large, it was still quite impressive.
Although Changqing's adoptive father didn't come because he was at work, his biological mother arrived early.
The brigade leader and his family were also there.
The educated youth were all dressed in new clothes, and a group of young people supported them, making them look very impressive.
There was even a very important witness at the wedding, who was the brigade leader's brother-in-law and a leader of the commune.
But none of that matters.
At the event, Changqing also announced an important piece of news—
He's about to leave Datian Village!
The order has already been issued; I'm not going to the commune, but directly to the county to assume my duties.
