"Come back and pick up your things before you leave. Don't be so ungrateful." Yuan Fangguo said seriously.
Yuan Fangmin, Yuan Chengzhu and Chen Yongying were all stunned, not knowing what this boss was up to.
"Forget about them not meeting. Let's focus on your studies. Your studies should be the most important thing." Yuan Fangguo was really planning to go find the principal right now. Liu Shengyong had already given him the phone number of the principal of Xiuxi Middle School.
After finishing speaking, Yuan Fangguo winked at his third brother and mother respectively, signaling them to go first.
Yuan Fangmin and Chen Yongying quickly understood what he meant and ran away.
When the honest Yuan Chengzhu saw his wife running away, he was stunned for a few seconds and then prepared to run away as well.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Fangguo grabbed him and winked at him again.
Although Yuan Chengzhu was honest, he immediately understood what was going on.
Zhang Delong, who was hiding in the high-walled courtyard, had no idea about all this. Two minutes later, seeing that there was no movement outside, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
Soon, the vermilion iron door was opened, and a small head appeared from inside.
When the eyes on this head met the eyes of Yuan Fangguo and Yuan Chengzhu behind him, Zhang Delong suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Brother." Yuan Chengzhu greeted him with a forced smile.
Zhang Delong couldn't help but snort coldly, folding his arms, looking at Yuan Chengzhu and Yuan Fangguo with a cold face.
"For the sake of the children, let's sit down and talk." Yuan Chengzhu said while rubbing his big hands with a simple look on his face.
"What are you talking about? The dowry?" Zhang Delong said without even raising his eyelids. "As long as we are satisfied with the dowry, we will accept it."
When Yuan Fangguo heard what Zhang Delong said, he was very angry. If the third brother had not done something bad to the girl, and if the third brother had not really liked the girl, he really would not have given Zhang Delong a good face.
"The dowry is negotiable, negotiable." Yuan Chengzhu smiled and handed over a cigarette.
Zhang Delong shook his head and continued coldly, "I don't smoke, so let's talk about the dowry. If it's less than 20,000 yuan, we won't discuss it. Are you Yuan Fangmin?" At the end, Zhang Delong couldn't help but glance at Yuan Fangguo.
Yuan Fangguo's appearance is not bad.
Yuan Fangguo shook his head, "No, I'm the eldest in the family."
When Zhang Delong heard this, he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss deep in his heart.
Yuan Chengzhu was stunned and opened his mouth in astonishment. You know, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount of money, it is enough to build a house.
"this?"
"That's the number. We'll talk about it when you can pay it." After Zhang Delong finished speaking, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and prepared to go back to the yard.
"Uncle Zhang, these 20,000 yuan is not a small matter?" Yuan Fangguo suddenly spoke.
Zhang Delong was stunned, looking at him infatuatedly, his eyes full of suspicion. After a while, he said, "Then bring one over for me to see."
"We have indeed prepared the money, but it's not 20,000, but 28,000. Don't we have to ask for a good start in everything we do?" Yuan Fangguo said as he opened his bag, revealing several stacks of green hundred-yuan bills.
This time it was really Zhang Delong's turn to be surprised. You know, nowadays anyone who can come up with tens of thousands of dollars is considered a rich person.
Before Zhang Delong could say anything, Yuan Chengzhu said, "Brother, the situation with the two children has already come to this. If you don't agree, we will give you 30,000 yuan as nutrition expenses for the children. If you agree, our two families can sit down and discuss it. I don't know what your attitude is."
Yuan Chengzhu took the initiative to throw the bouquet to Zhang Delong, which made Zhang Delong feel a little embarrassed, but he was not willing to give in now.
"How about this, you guys come back tomorrow. I can't make the decision on this matter alone." Zhang Delong still had a cold expression on his face, but his heart was actually very complicated.
After hearing what Zhang Delong said, Yuan Chengzhu immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'll come visit you again tomorrow, brother."
Zhang Delong looked at Yuan Chengzhu, then at Yuan Fangguo, and then walked into the compound with a look of disdain on his face.
After leaving Zhang's house, it was almost lunchtime. Originally, Yuan Chengzhu and Chen Yongying thought that they could just eat some noodles to fill their stomachs at noon, but Yuan Fangguo and Yuan Fangmin insisted that they go to a restaurant to eat. For no other reason, their parents had worked hard all their lives and lived a hard and simple life. Even when they went to the market in the village on weekdays, the most they could eat was the dry biscuits that cost fifty cents each.
Yuan Fangguo has eaten the dry biscuits from his hometown many times. This kind of dry biscuits can satisfy hunger, but it also makes people feel very thirsty after eating.
In the past, Yuan Chengzhu and Chen Yongying quenched their thirst by simply putting their mouths to the tap and drinking some tap water or spring water.
Yuan Chengzhu and Chen Yongying initially insisted on just eating a bowl of noodles, but later they could not resist the brothers' insistence and had to go to the restaurant with them.
While eating, Yuan Fangguo called the principal of Xiuxi Middle School at home.
Unexpectedly, no one answered.
Yuan Fangguo was a little unwilling to give up, so he called several times in a row, but still no one answered.
After thinking about it, he decided to go find the principal after lunch.
At noon, the family ordered home-cooked dishes such as salt-fried meat, pickled fish, braised pork, and braised pork intestines.
Watching his parents eating with big mouthfuls, Yuan Fangguo felt both relieved and sad.
If his younger brother and sister were not still studying in his hometown, he would really want to bring his parents to Chengdu.
After lunch, Yuan Fangguo asked his parents and Yuan Fangmin to rest in the car. After turning on the air conditioner for the three of them, he prepared to visit the principal's home.
Before leaving, he specially bought two packs of cigarettes and a box of tea.
According to the address provided by Liu Shengyong, the home of Principal Huang of Xiuxi Middle School was not difficult to find. After walking for a few minutes, Yuan Fangguo arrived at the family area where Principal Huang lived.
However, after he knocked on the door several times, no one answered.
Yuan Fangguo was somewhat unwilling, so he continued to knock on the door.
Finally, Principal Huang's neighbor across the street poked his head out and asked, "Young man, are you looking for Old Huang?"
Yuan Fangguo nodded, "Yes."
"He went out with his wife today and probably won't be back until tonight."
"You'll be back in the evening?" Yuan Fangguo was stunned.
"Yes, you'd better come after seven in the evening."
"Thank you, uncle." Yuan Fangguo said to the neighbor with a smile.
Although he was rejected a little, Yuan Fangguo did not feel depressed. At least there was still hope for his third son's studies.
