Chapter 320 I have never seen a family with more than six quilts at a wedding
Jiang Jinzhou said that his mother was busy.
Liu Guizhi had no choice but to give up, but she felt a little sorry for Jiang Jinzhou, as he had to take care of his own marriage by himself, and his own mother didn't care at all.
All my heart is devoted to my eldest son.
In the future, I'm afraid Liang Xiulan's family will have to rely on her.
Alas... there is still a long way to go...
In the coming days, they will also buy home appliances.
Liang Xiulan finished her meeting in the morning and went out with Jiang Jinzhou before ten o'clock.
When buying a refrigerator, there were not many double-door ones in this era, so Jiang Jinzhou and his friends went to a big shopping mall in the city to buy a double-door refrigerator.
When buying a washing machine, double-tub washing machines had not been produced in that era, so I could only buy a single-tub one.
When I bought a TV, the largest size was only 21 inches, so I had to make do with it for now.
Electric fans, two!
Radio, one!
By the way, he also bought a sewing machine and a watch for Liang Xiulan.
She has her own bicycle and tricycle, so she has no need for a car.
So I only bought two turns and one ring instead of three turns and one ring.
After everything was arranged, the two stood in the living room hugging each other, looking forward to their future together.
The date was finally set on May 1st.
Before that, both parties need to discuss specific matters.
Liu Guizhi said to Jiang Jinzhou, "Your family must send cotton to our house, at least enough for six quilts."
"Pack a handful of them separately, wrapped in cotton."
"There needs to be a palm-sized mirror, snacks, and table gifts..."
Shangyao Village and Xiayao Village are adjacent to each other and not far from each other. Logically, the rules and regulations of the two villages should be the same.
But Liu Guizhi still asked Jiang Jinzhou to go back specially and tell Xue Shuzhen everything.
There is only one month from setting the date to getting married, so nothing can be left out, as it may not be too late to make up for it by then.
Jiang Jinzhou went back obediently and explained Liu Guizhi's requirements one by one.
Xue Shuzhen agreed to all those miscellaneous items except the cotton.
"Six beds of cotton? Why? Doesn't she prepare any for her daughter? Does she want our family to prepare them?"
Jiang Jinzhou asked, "How many beds did my sister and sister-in-law prepare when they got married?"
"Your sister's wedding was all arranged by our family, the man didn't do anything at all!
When your sister-in-law got married, I got her two quilts, and the remaining families each received one quilt from each of my brothers. When we brought them back, there were six quilts neatly arranged!"
Jiang Jinzhou asked, "Is cotton expensive?"
“It’s not expensive.”
"It's not expensive, so what if I buy more? I built them all, and I'm not giving them away."
"No, this isn't a question of who gets to cover themselves. There's no such custom in our village! I've never seen anyone ask their husband's family to prepare six quilts! Do you think we're so easy to talk to?"
This is the reason why Jiang Jinzhou doesn't want to discuss things with her. She always wants to fight for everything.
Jiang Jinzhou put his hands in his pockets and said unhappily, "How do you know she won't bring a quilt as a dowry?"
Xue Shuzhen shook her head and said confidently, "There have been so many weddings in our village in recent years, but I've never seen a family bring in more than six quilts as a dowry!"
Jiang Jinzhou stood in front of the coffee table, frowning and looking at her for a long time, then suddenly said in a deep voice: "Then you might as well just give up!"
"Don't worry about anything, I'll do it myself!"
Seeing Jiang Jinzhou was angry, Xue Shuzhen quickly gave in: "Ah~ Look at you, why are you angry again? It's just the cotton for six quilts, can't I do it?"
Jiang Jinzhou let out a long breath and felt upset when he saw her.
He took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to Xue Shuzhen.
"Here are the gifts I've counted for the table. Prepare the cotton and put it in the cotton. Remember! Don't open it!"
Then he took out another five hundred yuan from his other pocket and gave it to Xue Shuzhen.
"This money is enough for you to buy things."
"As for the peanuts, candy, and banquet money, don't worry about it. I'll pay for it myself after the wedding!"
He threw the money on the coffee table and strode out.
When Xue Shuzhen saw the hundred-yuan bill, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
I quickly picked them up and counted them, and I felt like jumping up with excitement.
I picked up the red envelope and touched it. It was a thick stack. How much was it?
Before Jiang Jinzhou left, he specifically told her not to open it.
But she was really curious when she touched so much money.
Finally, I couldn't help it and opened it.
Six hundred and sixty-six yuan and six cents, with both decimals and whole numbers.
"Who needs so much for the table gift? The bride price is only over 200 yuan, and the bride's family wants so much for the wedding banquet?"
"Is Jinzhou stupid? He gives her whatever she wants?"
Xue Shuzhen's heart was bleeding when she saw the money in the red envelope.
When other people get married, the whole process from giving the betrothal gift to bringing the bride home costs less than 500 yuan, but for him, just the table gift costs more than 600 yuan.
He is such a fool with so much money that he doesn't even want to give it to his own mother and sends it all to other people's homes. Jian Shou is really missing a thread in his brain!
He sat in front of the coffee table for a long time, angrily.
A song to Jiang Lei after school.
"Grandma...I'm hungry..."
He complained of hunger as soon as he came back. This grandson must be growing taller.
Xue Shuzhen's anger instantly dissipated. She stood up and gave her precious grandson a big hug.
Zhou Yun saw the money and red envelope on the table and asked curiously, "Why is there a red envelope?"
Xue Shuzhen said angrily, "Jinzhou gave it to me as a table gift, but I paid six hundred and sixty-six..."
"You said he didn't want to spend the money on us and gave it all to the Liang family. Sigh... How could I have raised such a stupid son..."
She complained, put the money away, went back to her room and put it in the drawer of her bedside table.
Jiang Lei followed in and shouted, "Grandma, I'm hungry. When will you cook?"
"Okay, okay... Grandma will do it now..."
She rubbed his head lovingly and went into the kitchen.
Liu Guizhi has already started tearing cloth to make bed sheets and quilt covers.
She also bought cotton for six quilts, planning to make the quilts and send them to the Jiang family as dowry.
Her family is not short of money now, so she will give as dowry whatever the betrothal gift from the man.
After the cloth is torn and the cotton is fluffed, find a good day and invite the villagers to come to your house to make quilts.
According to local customs, experienced older people in the village are required to sew quilts for the newlyweds.
Take a clean plastic sheet and spread it on the ground, put the torn cloth on the stool, take out the cotton, and start working.
"Hey! Guizhi, the Jiang family delivered the cotton so quickly?"
Liu Guizhi said as she put cotton on the lining, "How could that be possible? This is the dowry I prepared for Lanlan."
"So much dowry? How many quilts can I make?"
"Six beds! All big!"
"Six beds?" Everyone was shocked. "So many! How many beds will the Jiang family send?"
"It's also six beds!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
The Liang family is rich now, and they are starting to care about appearances.
But she has the capital to care about appearances, unlike ordinary people like them, who at most give their daughters two quilts when they marry off. If they give more than that, they worry that the in-laws will take advantage of them.
