Chapter 161 He Xiuman's tricks
Perhaps stimulated by the bullfrogs cuddling and the golden pheasants courting each other, Gao Mingcheng had a great time that night.
Well, this season is indeed suitable for reproduction!
After a good night's sleep, Gao Mingcheng got up early as usual. He looked down at the many beauties who were still sleeping beside him. He knew that many beauties would definitely stay in bed today. It was not that she was lazy, but her body did not allow her to get up early.
If it weren’t for the improvement in physical fitness brought by the gold foil paper, Gao Mingcheng would have been weak in the legs by now!
After getting up, he ran to the middle of the mountain to practice boxing as usual. He was used to practicing boxing in the mountains and forests. The place where he often practiced boxing was trampled by him so much that not even a blade of grass could grow.
Perhaps it was because his boxing skills were so powerful and murderous, the surroundings were so quiet that there was no trace of birds or animals.
After practicing a set of boxing, I was sweating all over. I trotted back home. It was only half past six.
After he entered the house, he prepared to wash rice and cook porridge. The stove at this time was burning firewood, so someone had to watch the fire when cooking rice, porridge, etc.
When lighting the fire, Gao Mingcheng missed the rice cooker from his previous life.
Calculating the time, the rice cooker has already been invented, but it has not yet been sold on the market. He decided to buy one as soon as the rice cooker is on the market.
With an electric rice cooker, cooking rice, porridge, soup, etc. is much more convenient.
In the past, in many remote and poor mountain villages, each household had at least two electrical appliances, one was the light bulb, and the other was the rice cooker. This shows how popular the rice cooker was!
After the rice in the porridge was cooked, Gao Mingcheng added some firewood and decided not to leave it alone. The remaining fire was enough to cook the porridge.
He walked out of the door and heard the cries of cows and sheep, so he led the cows and sheep outside to graze. The grass in the morning was the freshest and most delicious. The cows and sheep, who had been hungry all night, buried their heads in the grass, making chewing sounds.
The black tiger and the elf were also running wild on the grass, their bodies agile and nimble.
Finishing all these does not mean Gao Mingcheng can rest, because he still has to go to the mountains to pick mulberry leaves.
Just as he had thought before, the silkworms that Xuanmei brought back from her third sister have grown up. Recently, their appetites have increased a lot, and they need to pick a lot of mulberry leaves every day to feed them.
After picking mulberry leaves and replacing them with fresh ones for the silkworms, Xuanyuemei finally got up. However, her walking posture was a little strange. When she saw Gao Mingcheng, she subconsciously rolled her eyes.
At first she was shy, but now... haha, Manyu Mei said unhappily, "Hurry up and make another bed, we have to sleep in separate beds!"
If it were to happen a few more times with the intensity of last night, many beauties would wonder if they would collapse!
Gao Mingcheng understood what Mei meant. He smiled awkwardly and began to act cute, saying, "I've already cooked the porridge. You can eat it after you wash up. I've also taken the cattle and sheep out, and brought back the mulberry leaves. It's enough for a day!"
If Xuanyimei hadn't been tired, cooking porridge, leading cattle and sheep, and picking mulberry leaves would have been done by Xuanyimei most of the time.
After hearing this, Xuanyuemei's complexion indeed looked better. She gave Gao Mingcheng a proud look that said "you better know your place" and went to wash up.
Gao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his wife had been coaxed. Yes, it was that easy to coax her!
So, there is no need to mention sleeping in separate beds!
Gao Mingcheng lives a carefree life, and his good brother Gao Zhuang is also about to have a carefree life.
Another day passed, and it was Gao Zhuang's wedding day.
Gao Zhuang's family has too few people. He has no cousins, only cousins, who are from other villages and did not grow up together.
After all the calculations, Gao Mingcheng was his closest brother, so Gao Mingcheng had to help with the bride-picking, and then he called a few peers who he got along well with to go together.
A group of people rode bicycles towards He Xiuman's village. Gao Zhuang, who was in the lead, looked excited and nervous.
He's getting married! This is too good to be true!
When we arrived at He Xiuman's home, He Xiuman was already waiting there wearing a red dress, and Gao Zhuang's aunt and her family were also there. They were going to Gaojia Village together later.
The man pays the bride price and the woman pays the dowry. The amount of the dowry can vary depending on whether the parents love their daughter.
He Xiuman's parents originally wanted to keep all the betrothal gifts, but they could not resist He Xiuman's many ideas, so they forced them to take out half of the money and bought He Xiuman some new clothes and a wooden box, as well as a hundred yuan as a dowry.
He Xiuman vowed to them that she was the eldest daughter in the family and that she had raised her younger sisters and brothers, and they had a deep affection for each other. Even after getting married, she would never forget them.
Personally, she was willing to leave all the betrothal gifts at home, just hoping that her younger sister and brother could live a better life. However, if she got married empty-handed, her in-laws would look down on her and would not let her manage money in the future.
If she can't get money, how can she use her husband's family's things to support her own family in the future?
Therefore, her parents could not let her marry empty-handed, and they had to prepare a dowry so that she would have face and a say when she got to her husband's family. Once she had appeased her husband and grandmother, the family's money would definitely be under her control, and she could then give as much as she wanted to her parents' home.
After drinking the pot of love potion, her parents were really bewitched. Although they were reluctant, they finally listened to their eldest daughter and took out half of the betrothal money.
This half of the money was already her parents' bottom line. No matter what He Xiuman said, they would not give her a penny more!
Seeing this, He Xiuman didn't say anything else. It was already not easy to get half of the money from her parents!
Seeing Gao Zhuang coming to pick her up, He Xiuman's mother did not forget to remind He Xiuman, saying: "Remember what you said, when you manage their family's money in the future, don't forget your parents and your brothers and sisters!"
He Xiuman lowered her head and hummed softly.
However, she secretly rolled her eyes and thought, even if I manage the money, it is my family's money! How can I give it to others?
It’s okay to honor her parents, but the only thing you can do is buy them some gifts and give them a little money during festivals. No more than that, definitely not!
At this time, the daughter is not eligible to inherit the estate, but at the same time she does not need to bear the main responsibility of support.
When parents get old, it would be great if their daughter could help them with life, such as washing clothes for them, bathing and washing their mother’s hair, etc.!
Supporting parents requires money and effort, and families with sons tend to assume that it is the son's responsibility.
Of course, given how much He Xiuman’s parents love their son, they will definitely try every possible way to squeeze money out of their daughters in the future.
He Xiuman pondered these things, but she was not anxious in her heart. She believed that there would always be a way out when she reached the mountain, and she could worry about the future later!
Now she has begun to look forward to her new life, a brand new life, a free life!
During this period, she and Gao Zhuang met often and became more familiar with and understood each other. He Xiuman was very glad that she found Gao Zhuang by accident, because she knew that Gao Zhuang would never let her down!
