Ling Ran put away the jades she had displayed, leaving behind the pair of bracelets and the peace locket she had chosen. "Put them all away! Ask Sister Guo to sew three red bags for the gifts.
My aunt wouldn't understand if you gave her jade, and she'd be upset if she dropped it. But if you gave her a gold bar, I guarantee she'd be so pleased she'd be beaming."
Zhou Xiang glanced at him sideways, "Humph! One gold bar is 25,000 according to my price. Of course she's happy."
"I was wrong. Let's go buy a pair of gold bracelets. They only cost a few thousand dollars."
"What is our mother going to give?"
"200 yuan, that's the amount my aunt always gives me."
"Don't they say you can't exceed your elders'? Then we'll pay 100 yuan?"
"Okay." Ling Ran said without hesitation.
Zhou wanted to hit him lightly, "It's shameful to give 100. If you give more, you will outbid so many elders. I'm not willing to give you gold bars. You still have four cousins behind you! You have to give four more. If you give us gold bracelets, others will see that we are deliberately saving money. It's really annoying."
Ling Ran took his wife's hand and pulled her into his arms. "Just give one gold bar, and the other four cousins will give the same amount. You don't have to change it as the share money increases. After all, the price of gold has also risen. These are mine and can be deducted from my pocket money."
Zhou Xiang laughed, "Do you have any pocket money?"
"Yes, my wife supports me, so she has to give me pocket money, and all the company's dividends belong to you."
"Divide? We are all losing money right now."
"No matter now or in the future, I just want my wife to support me, and I just want pocket money."
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I'll just listen to you and give you a gold bar. After all, I gave Zhang Ning and Li Li jade. We are both in the county and are our relatives and friends. The difference is too big and it will cause gossip."
Ling Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Now his wife was in the limelight, and everyone was watching her! It was too low, it really didn't look good.
Both my aunt and uncle are close relatives. The happy event happened first on my aunt's side, so my uncle's side must follow suit in the future. From childhood to adulthood, my uncle and aunt are the ones who love him the most. Even my deceased grandparents are not as good to him as my uncle and aunt.
The next morning, Guo Xuehua received a sewing task. It was three bags with red drawstrings. It was very simple and it only took him half an hour to sew the bags.
When Zhou Kai saw it, he insisted on having one too. He could use it as a purse, hanging it around his neck or tucking it inside his collar.
Zhou Xiang stretched out his hand in front of him and said, "If you have money, pay it back first."
Zhou Kai shook his head and stepped back, "No, I still need to buy fireworks."
"Really? Are you sure you're going to spend your own money on the fireworks?"
Zhou Kai paused, thinking that there were many children at home, and his cousin must buy fireworks. "If not, I will play bumper cars."
Zhou Xiang was just teasing him. The money he earned was not enough for his daily food. "Don't fall behind in training."
"Don't worry!"
A few minutes later, Gao Fei and he each received a blue long rope purse sewn by Sister Guo, and followed Xia Fei and Tian Cheng to training.
Hourly workers work from nine to eleven, which does not affect their training at all.
Zhou Xiang looked at A-Lian, who had no appetite but was trying hard to eat, and took out a small medicine bottle and handed it to Senior Jiang. "Use this. Whether her appetite is good or not, the baby will be fine."
Jiang Weihua took it with a smile, "Thank you for thinking about it."
"You're welcome. Give her some advice. My reaction at that time isn't a criterion for judgment. Don't take it too seriously. As long as the baby is healthy, that's all that matters."
Jiang Weihua nodded vigorously. With this, the baby will definitely be healthy.
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran went upstairs to prepare, and Jiang Weihua took A Lian away, who was still forcing herself to eat.
After feeding the three babies and changing his clothes, Zhou Xiang went downstairs and prepared to go to the county town with Ling Ran to attend the wedding of Zhang Ning and Ji Bin.
A-Lian, who was waiting downstairs, hugged Zhou Xiang as soon as she saw her and said, "Xiang Xiang, thank you. My baby will be fine."
Zhou Xiang patted her back gently. "Of course, I'm here! Don't be afraid. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, tell me and your elder sister. I guarantee that your baby will be as smart and cute as the other children at home."
A-Lian pulled out of her embrace, revealing her original smile. "Yes! She must be as cute as them."
Ling Ran glared at Jiang Weihua fiercely: He couldn't even comfort his own woman, and now she's throwing herself into someone else's arms?
Jiang Weihua shrugged and rolled his eyes at him: I don’t care.
Ah Lian knew that Zhou Xiang was going to attend a wedding today, so she stepped aside and said, "I won't waste your time. Go quickly!"
"Well! If you have nothing to do, just chat with your elder sister. Don't let yourself think about it. Senior Jiang doesn't understand either. And An Wen and the blind lady, you can talk to them."
Zhou's mother on the side quickly waved her hands and said, "Forget it. Your blind aunt is now a nervous master. It's better for that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not to get too close."
"Okay, then, go talk to your sister-in-law! Don't try to convince her that eating more is good for her, or she'll be forced to eat even if she's not hungry."
"I see. Let's go! Aren't you afraid you'll be late?"
Ling Ran backed out the car, and Zhou Hua and Xiao Chunmei also came out dressed up. They were also going to attend the wedding.
Xiao Chunmei still had her luggage with her. After attending the wedding, it was time for her to go home. She would be able to spend her last New Year at home this year.
After everyone got in the car, Zhou Hua asked his sister how much he should contribute as a share of the money since she had given the jade.
"Although you and Zuo Heng have a close relationship, these four people are now your colleagues, so your two contributions must be equal.
I wanted to return part of it to Zuo Heng. You know about the bed legs. I also left another pair of jade bracelets for Zuo Zhen."
"Then, I'll give you five hundred?"
"That's almost enough. This is considered a high etiquette in the town."
"Almost? So you mean we can add a little more?"
"Third brother, Mei Zi will definitely have to contribute as well. She can only contribute as much as you do, so just do what you can."
"Then I'm at a loss, right? It's more profitable to host the banquet first."
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "Maybe they'll pay you back together for a thousand."
Xiao Chunmei paused, "Well, we grew up together and worked together, why are you fussing over this?"
"Okay, then we'll each contribute 500!"
Ji Bin and Zhang Ning's families live in the same residential compound. Ji Bin's mother and Zhang Ning's father are colleagues and both work at the winery.
The winery is profitable, occupies a large area, and the staff quarters are also quite large.
It is also located in the north of the city like No. 1 Middle School, but is separated by two streets. As soon as you approach this street, you can smell the smell of wine dregs in the air.
The car approached the family compound and saw firecracker shreds on the ground. It followed the shreds through two rows of yards and stopped.
Zhou Xiang and the other two got out of the car, and Ling Ran parked it by the roadside.
The four men and women with outstanding temperament immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
Some of them recognized Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran, but since they didn't know them, they naturally didn't dare to go up and say hello, so they just pointed and whispered with others.
The firecrackers and shredded paper arrived at the door of the fourth house in the third row, where a table for writing accounts was placed at the gate.
