The next day, Song Ruan returned home early in the morning. According to custom, she had to stay in her room and only show her face in the second half of the proposal.
In fact, it meant that she had nothing to do, so Song Ruan took a high school Chinese textbook from Yang Bin's bookshelf and made a pot of tea with Yuquan water. She stayed in the room, drinking tea and studying.
How pleasant.
Therefore, she didn't know that this marriage proposal was being talked about with great relish.
Yang's mother never went out when she was sick, and she rarely went out after she recovered. It was rare for her to come out today, so everyone in the village found it strange.
What surprised them even more was that there was a large thing being carried behind, which looked like the people in the city carrying a three-wheeled carriage to propose marriage.
Three turns and one ring?
"Oh my! Is this a sewing machine?" someone exclaimed.
But the big machine was covered with a red cloth, making it difficult to see clearly. Besides, no one in the village had a sewing machine, and they had only heard about it, so no one was sure whether it was true or not.
Yang's mother just smiled at the onlookers and did not answer.
This made people even more curious, and a few people came over to take a look, and then tapped on it with their fingers like children touching crabs.
"It's hard and shattering, I guess."
"It's the hard one, right? Have you seen it? Are you sure?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
It's not too busy now and it's noon, so many people are gathered here to watch the fun, and Zhao Jianguo's grandmother is one of them.
"Mrs. Zhao, do you think this is a sewing machine?" someone asked.
"How should I know?" Old Mrs. Zhao knew it was the one as soon as she saw the outline, but how could she say it out loud to praise someone else?
"Didn't I hear that the dowry Zhao Zhiqing gave to Chen Hongying was three roubles and a silver coin?" the man asked.
The person next to him immediately pulled the corner of the speaker's clothes and lowered his voice and said, "You don't know yet, the wedding gift of Zhao Zhiqing and Chen Hongying has been reduced from three turns and one ring to two."
"Really? Didn't you agree to this at the village chief's house? Then you changed your mind?"
Although the two spoke in low voices, people nearby who were listening could still hear it.
When Old Mrs. Zhao heard this, her face darkened. She thought that this country bumpkin was just a gossip. It was none of their business how much dowry she gave.
Amid everyone's murmurs, Yang's mother had already walked into the Song family with some things.
Seeing this scene, Song's father and mother were also stunned, because they had never thought of exchanging their daughter for money, so they had not discussed the bride price with the Yang family. They did not expect the Yang family to bring so many things.
"My dear relatives, what are these things you brought?" Song's mother asked as she looked at the things covered with red cloth placed in the yard.
The people watching the excitement at the door also pricked up their ears and opened their eyes wide. They also wanted to know about this question?
"This is a sewing machine, and this is a radio." Yang's mother said as she pulled off the covering cloth.
Song's father and mother were both stunned, and the crowd outside the door exclaimed in surprise.
"It really is a sewing machine? There's also a radio!"
"It's all ringing, the Yang family is really generous, how much money does it cost?" someone said enviously. ..
Seeing this, the people nearby hurried over and asked, "You don't know yet, do you?"
"What?"
"The Yang family gave a bicycle and a watch as a gift when we got engaged. They are truly three turns and one ring."
"What? Three turns and one ring?" the man exclaimed, "People in this city don't even have three turns and one ring when they get married. Is the Yang family aiming to marry a rich man?"
This three turns and one ring really opened the eyes of the villagers. However, when Yang's mother took out a piece of betrothal gift, the crowd that had been relatively calm just now immediately exploded.
This is cool!
Some families don't have that much savings in their entire lives.
"I didn't expect the Yang family to be so rich. If I had known, I would have introduced my niece to him." Aunt One said bitterly.
"That's right. I don't know who spread the rumor before, saying that the Yang family is very poor, and that Yang Bin has to support a mother who takes medicine every day and a sister who is a burden. If I had known that his family is so well-off, I would have promised my daughter to him..."
"Ha, if your daughter looks like that, Yang Bin won't like her. But my daughter is pretty, so it's possible."
"Oh, marriage is about being able to make a living and work, what's the point of being pretty? Besides, if we compare prettiness, who in this village can compare to the Song family's little sister? You'd better forget it..."
Yang Bin, who had been criticized for his ingredients in the past, suddenly became a hot commodity, much to the regret of the aunts in the village.
Yang Bin knew nothing about this. He was sitting on a chair in the hall, waiting for Song Ruan to come out.
Song Ruan was wearing a reddish dress today, which was made by Song Cai, a skilled artist, after her mother bought the cloth.
The skirt just reaches the knees, revealing a pair of jade-like long legs. The slightly waist-hugging design shows off the slender waist and exquisite curves. She is captivating as she walks.
Song Ruan usually focuses on convenience and comfort and has never dressed up seriously. When she put on this skirt, everyone was stunned, especially Yang Bin, who was so fascinated that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. His eyes were always glued to Song Ruan, as if everyone else around him didn't exist.
Seeing her son looking so worthless, Yang's mother pushed him angrily and amusedly, and Yang Bin finally woke up from his dream.
