However, she did not agree immediately. As the saying goes, men don't cherish those who are eager to help them.
Li Qing, as a man, clutched the corner of his clothes: "I heard you say the future is very bright, but I'm also doing very well in the sales department.
Last month's salary was nearly 300 yuan. Every quarter, Mr. Lu will give quarterly bonuses to the top three employees in terms of performance, and the quarterly bonus is as much as 500 yuan.
This job was hard-earned for me, so I don’t want to quit easily.”
Li Dahe licked his lips, obviously not expecting Li Qing to get such a high salary.
You have to know that he worked in the commune as an ordinary employee and only earned more than 80 yuan a month.
Although there is some gray income, it is far less than what Li Qing earns every month.
Li Dahe began to murmur in his heart, and then tried to move closer to Li Qing: "Comrade Li, it seems that you are very capable!
She is truly a role model among female employees, and I admire her for that.
But think about it from another angle. Since you can get such a high salary here, you might get even higher salary somewhere else!
Besides, if our two families get along well, maybe we can go get the marriage certificate this afternoon.
You know the work of the Demolition Office. We want to move our household registration here as soon as possible, just in case!
Once we get the marriage certificate, we'll be newlyweds. We can't be apart most of the time!
You have also been to school. I plan to follow my childhood friend's example and become a small contractor. Later, we can start our own company.
That way you won't have to worry about other people's opinions. Then you'll be the boss's wife, so why wouldn't your life be more relaxed than it is now?"
Listening to Li Dahe's advice, Li Qing felt relieved. Her cheeks flushed slightly and she pretended to be shy: "What you said makes sense, but I don't know when you are going to leave?"
“I’ll be heading there once the demolition documents come down.
My childhood friend was really good at urging me to work. He even said that there was a construction site that was short of workers.
I'm also planning to take some people away from the village. My father's status is there, and everyone trusts me more!"
Li Qing estimated the time, nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll do as you say!"
Seeing such a beautiful, high-paid woman helping the poor and agreeing with his opinions, Li Dahe's self-confidence swelled.
He patted his chest and made another round of promises.
At this moment, they didn’t know what their fate would be after leaving Pengcheng.
After the two returned to Aunt Zhang's house, Secretary Li hurriedly asked his son how the conversation went.
A hint of confidence flashed across Li Dahe's lips: "With your son taking action, what can't be solved?
Give me your household registration booklet, and we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right away!”
Father Li also heard this and coughed twice: "Since the two young people have a good chat and feel that it is suitable, let's talk about the issue of the betrothal gift.
Daha, you should have heard that Qingqing's monthly salary is only two or three hundred yuan.
To be honest, there is really no need to ask for these gifts from you, but now for outsiders, gifts are all about face!
We only have this one precious daughter, who is always pampered. If we don't give her a high betrothal gift, others will laugh at us!"
Secretary Li's expression tightened, and he quickly said, "Didn't you say before that the betrothal gift was 200 yuan, plus 400 kilograms of grain?
This is basically the price for recent weddings in our village.
We don’t have to piece things together at home, we can just take it out!”
Father Li drank a cup of tea slowly. Aunt Zhang's family was just ordinary workers, so naturally there was no good tea at home. Father Li only drank two sips and put it down.
"That's not the case. You are talking about ordinary farmers, but you are the village party secretary.
Dahe is a promising young man who is still working in the commune. We can't let the betrothal gift go to someone else.
Sister Zhang, do you think I am right?"
Father Li pulled Aunt Zhang into the water. Aunt Zhang cursed in her heart, angry that his father was asking for so much.
But the matchmaker naturally couldn't say anything too extreme, so she could only say with a smile: "That's what I said, but doesn't everything need to be discussed slowly?
Let's do this, let the couple get the marriage certificate first, and don't let this matter delay the house deal later."
Aunt Zhang accepted benefits from Secretary Li, and since she and Secretary Li had a tangential relationship as relatives, she naturally spoke in his favor.
Hearing her words, Father Li was not angry, and continued to sit there calmly: "Since Sister Zhang said to discuss it, then I will tell you the conditions of our family.
I won't ask for more food, still 400 kilograms, but the betrothal gift must be at least 400 yuan!"
"This. This, is this too high?"
Secretary Li's lips trembled with surprise.
Aunt Zhang was also very surprised. The money had doubled!
Father Li smiled and said, "When people in the city get married, they usually go through three turns and one ring.
Wardrobes, beds, storage cabinets, dressing tables, etc. must all be prepared.
All these miscellaneous things together would cost at least five or six hundred yuan, right?
It's just a bicycle. Although it's cheaper now, it still costs 140 yuan.
Not to mention that some families were equipped with black and white televisions!
So our asking price is not high!
Our Qingqing wants to find a lot of people in the city, and it doesn't have to be your family."
Father Li put on a high attitude. Secretary Li looked at Aunt Zhang embarrassedly. Seeing Aunt Zhang nod slightly, Secretary Li knew that what Father Li said was true.
He felt so upset that he wanted to slap his son twice.
