Chapter 1059 Getting Ready to Get Married
Seeing that the old man was bored again, Bai Jianxun quickly changed the subject and said, "Hey, Dad, take a look at this betrothal gift list. Do you want to add anything else? When we have everything ready, we can take it together that day. We can take a special plane there that day, and I think the Southern Noble District will know about it when you go there."
"These things are too little, add some more!" Mr. Bai took only one look at the dowry list and immediately glared, "There are only so few things. What if Xiaoyan gets wronged when she goes there?"
In fact, there are quite a lot of things on the list in Bai Jianxun's hand.
In the past, people paid attention to four major items when getting married: a watch, a bicycle, a semiconductor radio and a sewing machine.
Later, as people's living standards improved, the four major items became mainly household appliances, such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and tape recorders.
When Zhang Weiyang and Lin Haoran got married, the Bai family didn't know the truth yet, and they also prepared these home appliances for Zhang Weiyang, as well as several sets of embroidered quilts with satin covers.
Now, for Gu Yan's dowry, Bai Jianxun has not only added cameras and other things to it, but also doubled the number of quilts.
There are also two sets of gold jewelry and a pair of jade bracelets.
At that time, this was already considered a very generous dowry.
Bai Jianxun understands the old man. He feels guilty towards his granddaughter, so he wants to pick the stars in the sky and give them to Xiaoyan.
But he said, "Dad, we can't exceed the standards after all, there are rules. But we can compensate Xiaoyan in other places. I don't know where Xiaoyan and Lu Ye will settle down in the future, but we can prepare a big house for them on the main planet. Xiaoyan's house near the Imperial First Academy is really small."
After hearing what his youngest son said, Bai Qifeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's buy a house!"
"Well, then I'll show the dowry list to my brother and sister-in-law."
Bai Jianxun now likes to go to Gu Yan's house, but every time he goes there, the kitten always shows its claws at him.
When he was in the Academy of Science and Education, he always had a stern face and no one dared to laugh.
Only this little cat ignored him.
Even when I fed it my favorite dried fish, Xiao Ai ignored me.
Bai Jianxun arrived at Gu Yan's house, showed the dowry list to Xie Luan, and then took the dried fish and wandered in front of Xiao Ai's cat bed.
Uncle Ai didn't even raise his eyelids.
Bai Jianxun asked Xie Luan curiously, "Sister-in-law, does Xiao Ai not like eating this kind of dried fish?"
“It’s always liked it.”
"Then why is it so indifferent when I feed it?"
Xie Luan's eyes were still on the dowry list. "I don't know. When I fed it this morning, it ate quite a bit."
Bai Jianxun: ...
It turns out that this little guy really dislikes him.
You don’t even eat the dried fish he feeds you?
Bai Jianxun said angrily, "This kitten is so pretentious! Sister-in-law, don't spoil it when you feed it next time!"
Xiao Ai raised her eyelids slightly, looked at Bai Jianxun with disgust, then turned around and faced Bai Jianxun with her butt.
Bai Jianxun: ...
Just when Bai Jianxun was about to cry because of Xiao Ai's disgust, Xie Luan said, "Jianxun, there are too many things in this dowry list. In fact, Jianjun and I have also prepared some."
What Xie Luan didn't say was that she had previously given her passbook to her daughter Xiaoyan.
Bai Jianxun said, "Sister-in-law, that's all. The old man said it's not enough. So, give Xiaoyan some extra of what you prepared. If I stop the old man again, I'm afraid he'll beat me."
