Chapter 352 Dowry
Shen Rui's mother then said:
"Sister Wang, Xiao Du, let's talk about the two children. They are classmates and now work in the same city. It's really a fate. Xiao Rui's father and I both like Xiao Ya very much. I hope that the two of them can spend their lives happily together."
As a teacher, Shen's mother is really good at speaking.
On behalf of the Shen family, she formally proposed to the Du family for her son. Her words were very polite and her attitude was very sincere.
"Uncle, aunt, we will not interfere with Xiao Ya's affairs. Like you, my mother and I also hope that she can be happy.
To be honest, we didn't want her to come to such a far place alone, but she decided to work here for the sake of love.
We have no other requirements, but we hope that Shen Rui can treat Xiao Ya well. It's more important for the family to be happy than anything else, don't you think?
We don't object to their affairs. We can get the marriage certificate first and hold the wedding later."
Du Shaojie expressed his attitude on behalf of Wang Yuxiu and agreed to their marriage.
But for the time being, they can only get engaged and get the marriage certificate when the time is right. The wedding will have to wait.
"Xiaojie's meaning is what I mean. We both want the best for our two children."
Wang Yuxiu also said this, and the matter was settled.
Shen Rui was the happiest person. Shen's father was also very happy. He quickly winked at his wife.
Shen's mother naturally understood and then talked about some specific issues.
"The two children will definitely not be able to get housing when they just started working. I have discussed with Xiaorui's father that they can live with us after they get married. The house at home is quite spacious and can accommodate them.
When they have their own house, they will move out. We will prepare a full set of furniture for them, as well as a TV, refrigerator and washing machine. In addition, I have also prepared Xiaoya's wedding jewelry. Do you think it's okay?"
Shen Rui's family conditions are average. The couple lived frugally and almost emptied their savings for their son's marriage.
Fortunately, Shen Rui only has a younger sister who has just started college and does not need to worry about this for the time being.
"I don't have too many requirements for the economy. It's enough if the intention is there."
There is no such thing as "bride price" when getting married in the city these days. Du Shaojie doesn't care how much material things the other party can give, as long as the intention is there.
As for him, he will definitely prepare a generous dowry for his little sister, but there is no need to talk about it today.
Wang Yuxiu did say that when Xiaoya gets married, she will prepare something that is in line with the rules and regulations so that others can't find any faults.
After the business was finished, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much warmer.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Father Shen said, "Sister Wang, Shaojie, I have reserved a table outside. Let's have a meal together at noon." They
are all ordinary people. The Shen family thinks that engagement is the two families finalizing the matter, and then having a meal together is the end of it.
In a few days, the two children can go and get the marriage certificate first, and the wedding can wait.
Du Shaojie didn't think about holding an engagement ceremony. This arrangement is good, and he won't make things difficult for the Shen family.
"Okay, let's go. Uncle Shen, where are we going?"
"I heard from Xiaorui that you like Sichuan cuisine, so I booked a table at Xichuan Restaurant. Unfortunately, I booked it a little late, and they don't have a private room. Please don't mind."
Xichuan Restaurant is currently recognized by everyone as the leading Sichuan restaurant in Shanghai, and the Shen family has invested a lot of money.
Father Shen recalled the scene when he made the reservation. The business of that restaurant was booming every day. He didn't even get a private room two days in advance, so he had to book a seat in the lobby.
Du Shaojie and Xiaoya looked at each other. They couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time, otherwise they would offend people.
"Uncle Shen, Auntie, well, I opened the Xichuan Restaurant in Shanghai. So, let's go there first, and when we get there, I'll ask the manager to allocate a private room for us."
After Du Shaojie finished speaking, Shen Rui and his parents were stunned.
If having a restaurant in Guangzhou means that Du Shaojie is a rich man, then owning the chain brand of Xichuan Restaurant is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Xichuan Restaurant is very famous. Everyone knows that it is a national chain catering company, but few people know who the boss of this company is.
But no matter who it is, this person is definitely a wealthy man.
Shen Rui was a little confused, and his parents had more hidden worries. Xiaoya's brother is too extraordinary. Can the two children live happily?
Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to drive Shen Rui's family of three there first, and then come back with his mother and sister.
As for what Shen Rui's family of three would think, he couldn't stop it.
Xiaoya was quirky. When she was in love, she concealed some information about Du Shaojie. Maybe she didn't want this relationship to change.
Wang Yongli drove Shen Rui and his parents to Xichuan Restaurant, and then played the banner of Du Shaojie. The manager immediately arranged a reserved private room.
He then went to pick up the boss's family.
"Xiaorui, didn't you know about Xiaoya's brother's situation before?"
There were no outsiders in the private room, and Shen's father asked seriously.
"I don't know. Xiaoya said he was a cooking technician and opened a Sichuan restaurant in Yangcheng when he started his business. She didn't say anything else and I didn't ask much."
Shen Rui didn't think it was a big deal. No matter how rich his brother-in-law was, it didn't matter to him.
Father Shen and his wife looked at each other and couldn't help shaking their heads. What Xiaoya said was obviously a foreshadowing. When he started his business, he opened a restaurant. Now, hasn't it developed into a large-scale catering chain?
Xiaoya's elder brother is really amazing!
Of course, this incident will not have a substantial impact on Xiaoya and Shen Rui's marriage, but it will have a subtle impact on Shen Rui's parents.
When Du Shaojie and his family arrived, the feast began. The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal.
Mr. Shen said he would pay the bill himself and refused to give a discount
. Du Shaojie winked at the manager, and the manager settled the bill at the normal price. However, before leaving, he gave Old Shen a [VIP card], a stack of vouchers, and a few kilograms of bacon and sausage made by the restaurant.
Mother Shen gave Xiaoya a big red envelope before saying goodbye and leaving.
"Xiaoya, don't you want to live with Shen Rui's parents?"
When he got home, Du Shaojie asked his little sister.
Xiaoya didn't say anything, but her attitude was obvious.
Du Shaojie nodded, and the next day he and Wang Yongli started looking for a house in Shanghai. After searching for a long time, they chose a building on the third floor with an area of more than 80 square meters.
The house is not very good, but the location is very good, and it will be very convenient for Xiaoya and Shen Rui to go to work in the future.
When Xiaoya took her to see it during her lunch break, she was so happy. She naturally didn't want to live with her elders. Living together every day would easily cause conflicts. It would definitely be more comfortable for the two of them to live alone.
"Just like this apartment. It's your dowry. Don't worry about the decoration later. I'll have someone take care of it.
In addition, you have to agree with Shen Rui on this apartment. Whoever asks about it, it's a temporary residence of a relative, so as not to affect the housing allocation of your unit."
Du Shaojie asked Xiaoya to prepare her personal information. This apartment will be in her name.
The house purchase procedures were completed quickly. He asked someone to find a decoration company, and then the construction began. This kind of thing doesn't need him and Xiaoya to watch over it. Just tell the manager of the [Xichuan Restaurant] Magic City store, and the other party will arrange someone to be responsible.
A few days later.
Du Shaojie invited Shen Rui's family to dinner again, and then he returned to Yangcheng with Wang Yuxiu and Wang Yongli.
Xiaomei had also returned from Beijing, and a great thing happened to her as soon as she started working.
The president of the branch was promoted a few days ago. After she came back, she became the person in charge of the bank's work, and soon became a full-time job. It didn't take too long to go from vice president to president.
"Brother, am I awesome?"
Xiaomei couldn't help but brag when she saw her brother.
Du Shaojie rolled his eyes and didn't bother to answer the question.
It's true that Xiaomei has strong working ability and is brave and hardworking, but this is not the most important thing.
The key is her academic qualifications. Her master's degree from a prestigious university is a great advantage, and with Jiang Dongyuan's support, Xiaomei's rapid rise has been achieved.
"Xiaomei, you still have to work hard in the future and don't be cocky. This time I gave Xiaoya a house in Shanghai as a dowry. If you have time later, go and see the house yourself, and I will give you one too."
Du Shaojie felt that he couldn't favor one over the other. Although Xiaomei didn't intend to get married yet, it was okay to give her a house in advance.
If he didn't mention it now, he was afraid that his older sister would have some ideas in her mind.
"What do I need a house for? Brother, you're not going to get married and want to kick your sister out of the house, right?"
Xiaomei was still happy in her heart, which showed that her brother cared about her feelings.
But she really didn't need a house. Although she was only a branch manager at the grassroots level, her dormitory was a separate apartment. If she got married, the company would definitely allocate housing.
She didn't want her brother to spend this money in vain.
"Just take it if you give it to you. If you don't want to see it, I will go by myself. Don't complain about it after I buy it."
Du Shaojie has always been strong at home. His father died early, and he started working to support his family when he was a teenager. He raised his two sisters.
The eldest brother is like a father, and it's not just talk.
"Okay, brother, please help me choose. I really don't have time to look around."
Xiaomei had to agree, and didn't forget to bow to her brother.
Du Shaojie was amused by her. The eldest sister was not like Xiaoya, and her personality was more independent.
Yangcheng was his base. In a few days, he bought a courtyard and it fell under Du Xiaomei's name.
He took care of all the decoration, so Xiaomei didn't have to worry about it at all.
After finishing these things, Du Shaojie couldn't help but sigh. Family matters are easy to deal with, but he didn't know what to do with his own affairs.
A few days later.
He called Cai Jing and asked for half a month's leave for Liang Meiqin.
Then he took her to Hong Kong, on the one hand to rest, and on the other hand to talk to her about the future.
