After the three men entered the room, Xu Jianguo first gave each of them a cigarette, and then they sat there casually and started discussing.
Because Xu Jianguo was a junior, he immediately put forward his conditions after sitting down. Funiu did not want a dowry, and the Li family only needed to give an opening fee. He also told Li Mancang that he was planning to transfer Xiao Shitou's job after the New Year. As for the couple's housing problem, Xu Jianguo also told Li Mancang not to worry.
It’s not that he wants to take on too much, but because if Xiao Shitou joins the Ministry of Construction after the New Year, the welfare housing distribution will be a foregone conclusion.
Of course, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian would not let their closest sister suffer any loss.
Moreover, the couple had already prepared the dowry for Funiu, which was even more than what they gave to Daya and Xu Zhengyang, and it was a lot more.
Li Mancang was naturally happy that his youngest son would be able to work in the Ministry of Construction soon, but he always felt that such an arrangement was a bit unfair to Funiu.
So he still insisted on his own opinion and insisted on giving Funiu a betrothal gift.
As for whether the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, Li Xin’s wife Wang Erni, would have any ideas, there is no need to worry about it.
As the family's life was getting better and better, Li Mancang and Zhang Meijuan, in order to compensate the eldest daughter-in-law for not giving her any good things when she first came into the family, especially on her and Li Xin's wedding anniversary, gave her a considerable amount of betrothal gift. She was so moved that she lay in Zhang Meijuan's arms and cried, saying that her mother-in-law was better than her own mother.
In addition, regarding the issue of giving a betrothal gift to Funniu, after Xu Jianguo's family left last night, Li Mancang's family did not avoid Wang Erni when discussing it, and put all the issues on the table.
Wang Erni also expressed her opinion on the spot, saying that when she entered the house, Shitou was just a little kid of three years old. It can be said that she raised him by herself and he was no different from her own son.
Not to mention Funiu. When they first met, she was younger than Shitou. She was a woman in her forties and the eldest daughter-in-law in the family. How could she argue with two children she had watched grow up over the issue of betrothal gifts?
Seeing that Xu Jianguo and Li Mancang were arguing, Li Erniu finally came out to smooth things over. He said that after all, it was Uncle Mancang's family getting married, and although the girl's family had to be satisfied, it was not good to be too shabby, otherwise it would not sound good if it were made public.
After listening to it, Xu Jianguo lowered his head and thought for a while. He also felt that what Li Erniu said made sense. Then he looked at Li Mancang's stubborn eyes like a child and laughed out loud.
"You little brat, what are you laughing at? Just tell me the truth and do this as I say, okay? Anyway, I've put my words here, you have to do it whether you like it or not!" Li Mancang said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianguo quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, Uncle Mancang, I'll listen to you, okay?"
"Humph, that's more like it!"
In this way, the decision about Funiu and Shitou's marriage was finally made.
The result of the discussion between the two was that Li Mancang gave Funniu a betrothal gift of 6,666 yuan, and the fee for changing her name was calculated separately.
As for the housing the two would live in Jingzhou in the future, Li Mancang felt relieved after learning that Shitou would have a house.
In addition, the wedding was held in a similar manner to that of Xu Zhengyang and Hu Xiaohui, with banquets held in Jingzhou and Sandaliang Village.
The banquet in Jingzhou was organized by Xu Jianguo, while the banquet in the village was organized by Li Mancang.
After talking about his two children's marriage, Xu Jianguo thought about it and felt that it would be better to tell them as soon as possible about his plan to relocate his parents' graves.
After all, the happy event is coming soon, and the relocation of the graves must be completed before the two children get married.
When Li Mancang and Li Erniu heard Xu Jianguo talk about relocating the grave, the room suddenly became quiet.
After a long while, a heavy sigh was heard from both of them.
Xu Jianguo knew that the two old men were thinking of his father Xu Maotian in this life.
After all, the relationship between the three can be said to be close friends, otherwise the two of them would not have taken such good care of their son after Xu Jianguo's parents passed away.
"Okay, after all, they are your parents. You are in Jingzhou, and it is really not right to let them live in the village. Just move away. They didn't enjoy themselves when they were alive. Now that you have made it, you must find a good place for them so that they can enjoy themselves down there!" Li Mancang took a deep puff of cigarette, then exhaled the smoke and spoke.
"Your uncle Mancang is right. Once you have chosen a place, remember to tell us. If there is a chance in this life, we will try to go to Jingzhou to see them again!" said Li Erniu.
Xu Jianguo felt a little sad when he heard the two old men's words with some emotion. He did not make any promises, but nodded vigorously with red eyes.
By the time the three of them came down from the second floor, Zhang Meijuan, Wang Yan, Wen Sitian and other female family members had already finished preparing lunch.
After waiting for a while, all the dishes were served on the table. The two little guys, Xu Nuo and Xu Yan, who were having fun playing in the yard, were forced to turn off their phones by Xu Zhengyang and Hu Xiaohui and then carried into the house.
At the dinner table, Li Mancang and Xu Jianguo told everyone the results of their discussion regarding Shitou and Funniu's marriage, which received unanimous approval from the three families.
