He Damei followed Chen Baoguo silently, secretly glancing at the back of his head from time to time, her heart pounding.
The back of his head is really good-looking.
In fact, He Damei didn't know how she got to the door of her house. In her mind, the words Chen Baoguo said were still on her mind.
If others have it, you should have it too.
As soon as the three of them entered the yard, He Damei called out, "Grandpa, Baoguo is here."
He Yonggang was sitting under the eaves at this moment, weaving a sofa with bamboo.
Everyone in their generation knows this skill.
The old man has been busy for two days and the sofa will be ready today.
He Yonggang smiled and said, "Come on, come in and sit down."
His eyes fell on Chen Jianguo and he said with a smile, "Oh, you are Baoguo's elder brother Jianguo, right?"
"Grandpa, I am Jianguo.
My parents live too far away to come here, so I came to ask you questions on their behalf and discuss their marriage at the same time."
He Yonggang smiled particularly kindly.
"Sit inside first. I'll make you a cup of tea. We can sit down and talk slowly."
He Damei didn't see her parents, so she said, "Grandpa, where are my parents?"
"The groundhog has gone to weed."
He Damei forgot to remind them last night, and it is very likely that Chen Baoguo will have trouble today.
He Yonggang looked at the things his brothers were carrying, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Although they don't have so many rules, these two brothers are pretty generous.
Being careless is one thing, being careless is another.
After the three of them went in, He Damei quickly poured hot water for the brothers.
"You guys sit down first, I'll go call my parents back."
The place was not far from her home, so she had to go and see it quickly.
He Yonggang said: "Wait for the child's parents."
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I see you are still in good health. It's really great."
Chen Jianguo’s grandfather passed away early, and she still has a grandmother, but she lives with her third uncle.
Since they were young, grandma had always sided with his uncle and his siblings, and had never given Chen Jianguo and his siblings a hard time. As a result, the relationship between their fathers and brothers was very bad, so much so that Chen Jianguo didn't even want to visit his grandma.
Now that I think about it, some people don't like having grandchildren, not because they favor boys over girls.
It is very likely that she does not love her own children.
Chen Jianguo collected his thoughts and sat there idle, saying, "Grandpa, I see you are almost done making the sofa, Baoguo and I will help you."
There was a flash of shock in He Yonggang's eyes.
"This is an old skill. Do you two brothers know how to do it?"
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "My dad can make it. We also have bamboo sofas and cabinets at home."
This brother is also a bit tongue-tied. To be honest, it's quite awkward for him to sit like this all the time.
The old man smiled and said, "You guys are really good."
As Chen Jianguo was speaking, he stood up and walked out, and Chen Baoguo followed him out.
He Yonggang brought a small stool and sat aside to watch. It seemed like he could test the brothers.
Chen Jianguo was seen holding the bamboo board that had been shaved and polished smooth in advance, and inlaying it with great familiarity.
Chen Baoguo was inlaying a gem nearby.
When He Damei and his parents came in, the sofa had already been set up by the brothers.
He Yonggang was also stunned. What a bunch of idiots these two were.
Chen Jianguo said: "Grandpa, where should we put this sofa?"
Just put it opposite where you were sitting just now.
The two men carried the sofa in and placed it opposite the seat where he had just sat.
He Damei was surprised and asked, "You guys...are doing it so soon?"
Chen Baoguo smiled and said, "Yes."
He Damei looked at her grandfather's smiling face and felt very relieved.
He Changqi and Du Xiaofeng also looked at each other.
After the six people sat down, He Yonggang coughed and said, "This is Chen Jianguo, or what Baoguo often calls his elder brother Jianguo."
Chen Jianguo sat on the stool, his back straight, and said generously: "Uncle Tu, Aunt Tu."
The couple nodded, and He Yonggang said, "Now that you are here, let's discuss the marriage of our two children.
What does your family mean?"
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "Grandpa, my parents naturally mean that they can do it. As for the time arrangement, it's up to you."
He Yonggang knew that his precious granddaughter was anxious, and they had said everything they needed to say when Chen Baoguo came back last time.
Now, it's just a matter of time.
He Yonggang glanced at He Damei and said, "I asked a fortune teller to look at the dates for them a few days ago. They are available on the tenth day of the lunar month this month and the eighth day of the eleventh month next month.
We haven't had a wedding in our family for a long time. I was thinking of holding one at our house between April and October, and then letting them go back to your hometown to hold another one in a month.
Our family members won't be there when the time comes, so you can just do whatever you want over there.
Do you guys watch it?
We don’t want any dowry or anything, that’s all we ask for.”
It's time for their family to make a makeover.
You can't carry the reputation of being of low birth all your life, right?
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "Grandpa, ok, you guys are going to hold the wedding banquet on April 10th, isn't that a bit rushed?"
"Don't rush. There are still more than ten days left. There's still time."
He Damei standing by felt like she was dreaming.
Is that it?
He Damei asked: "Grandpa, when will you choose the date?"
"I just ran into Mr. when I was working the other day, and I mentioned it to him."
He Changqi, who was standing aside, thought to himself: I just happened to run into you, sir. I wonder who sneaked into the house with cigarettes and alcohol.
However, He Changqi didn't say it, as it would embarrass the old man.
He Yonggang asked He Damei: "Why, do you feel that time is a bit tight?"
He Damei quickly shook her head: "No, no."
She felt excited and even hoped that they would get married the next day.
He Damei couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
She nudged Chen Baoguo beside her with her elbow and said, "If you have any ideas or opinions, just say it."
Chen Baoguo also felt that it was quite fast, but whether it was early or late, didn’t it have to be done?
"I have no objection."
Chen Jianguo suddenly felt that his visit today was a bit unnecessary. Apart from anything else, this family were all straightforward people.
Chen Jianguo suddenly remembered something and took out a red paper bag from his bag.
"Grandpa, this is the betrothal gift for Damei. Three hundred and sixty-six taels. I hope you can accept it."
This red envelope was wrapped by Tian Yujun last night after he got up in the middle of the night.
After much thought, the couple decided that they couldn't let such a beautiful woman suffer any loss.
The bride price is a reassurance given by the man to the girl. She doesn’t ask for anything, so what else could they be dissatisfied with?
To put it bluntly, if someone marries you, brings you children, takes care of your parents-in-law, and manages the household and farms, is more than 300 yuan a dowry expensive?
Not expensive!
A man's bicycle costs one or two hundred yuan, let alone a person?
What's even more ironic is that in her generation, there were always men who would argue with the women over the 70,000 or 80,000 yuan dowry, while they would not think it was too expensive to buy themselves a 300,000 yuan car.
So, sometimes in other people's minds, women are not as valuable as objects.
