The agreed amount of money inside was one thousand yuan, and it would be delivered after three turns and one ring.
After discussing these things, it was soon time for lunch. The Zhou family members stayed to have dinner, and after the meal, the two families dispersed.
Lu Xiangxiang also went home with Miao Cuihua. As for her betrothal gift, Miao Cuihua held it tightly, with no intention of letting him touch it.
Lu Yuantao could only watch his mother run away as if she was escorting some treasure. He found it a little funny. It seemed as if they would eat her money. It was just a thousand yuan. He had it.
Miao Cuihua didn't care what he was thinking. After returning home, she took out the passbook she had been keeping and gave it to Lu Xiangxiang.
"Now, keep your betrothal gifts safe."
"No, grandma, you take it." She shook her head.
"Take it. Keep the betrothal gifts safe. Grandma will check how much money we have left and bring it over as your dowry." She muttered to herself.
An hour later, she took out the sorted money and gave it to Lu Xiangxiang, but Lu Xiangxiang didn't want to accept it.
"What? Do you think grandma doesn't give you enough?" Miao Cuihua said with a fierce look on her face.
"No." She shook her head.
"Then keep it well." She stuffed the money into Lu Xiangxiang's hand without saying anything.
Lu wanted to know her temper and knew that she would probably get angry if he didn't take it. Thinking of this, he had no choice but to accept it.
"Open it and see how much money our family has." Miao Cuihua said with a smile.
Lu Xiangxiang opened the passbook and was shocked by the amount on it.
"Grandma, how come we have so much money?" she exclaimed.
Miao Cuihua's face was filled with pride. "That's all I saved over the past twenty years, and I also saved some from selling things. And then you started school and made some money, didn't you? You gave it all to me, and I saved it all."
Miao Cuihua is very capable. How could she be an ordinary person who raised Lu Yuantao by herself and sent him to school?
After Lu Yuantao joined the army, she worked at home with Lu Xiangxiang's mother. They didn't have much expenses, so they saved all their money. She took Lu Xiangxiang with her again after her daughter-in-law died during childbirth. Fortunately, her son had sent back all his allowances, so she was able to support the child with the allowance.
After my son got married, the allowance was gone, and I was only given 20 yuan a month, which was a huge sum of money at that time.
Miao Cuihua ignored her son, Barbecued Pork, and worked in the fields alone, carrying the infant Lu Xiangxiang on her back.
When she thought about her childhood, although the memories were a little vague, she still remembered them.
She was really touched by how hard Miao Cuihua worked to raise her. If it weren't for her grandmother, she would have died long ago and would not be alive today.
She was so moved that she hugged Miao Cuihua and said, "Grandma, I will definitely be filial to you in the future."
Miao Cuihua patted her hands and said, "Aren't you already being filial to grandma? You even told her the secret."
During the famine, she couldn't buy food even if she had money. It was at this time that Lu Xiangxiang told her the secret. She was so touched that their hearts were closely connected.
There are only two people who can control the space. Originally, this function was passed on to her husband, but she gave it directly to herself. She was so happy.
"It's not enough yet. When I save up a lot of money, I will take grandma to travel around."
"By the time you save a lot of money, your grandma will be old."
"What do you mean old? Not old at all. Grandma is still young. I hope you can live to be a hundred years old and live long enough for us to go out and play together. You are not allowed to say the word old." She said domineeringly while hugging her grandmother.
"Okay, okay." She nodded and patted Lu Xiangxiang's arm. "Okay, I won't say much. You're getting married in two months. I'll go grow cotton for you in the space and make some quilts."
She nodded, and Miao Cuihua flashed into the space.
Lu Xiangxiang looked at the passbook in his hand, which contained more than ten thousand yuan.
She took out the passbook Zhou Ziheng had given her and looked at it. There was three thousand yuan in it. Adding the betrothal gift just now, she had a total of more than fifteen thousand yuan, which was not a small amount of money.
In this era, the cost of living for a family is only ten yuan, and more than fifteen thousand yuan is already considered wealthy.
What is this song of the liberated serfs? It refers to her.
In fact, she knew that her grandmother didn't often take the things in the space out to sell because their quality was so good.
She only sold it occasionally, so she only made this little money over the years. Some of it was sent back by her when she was in college.
She received subsidies when she was in college, which allowed her to live well in school, but if she wanted to live well, she had to do some part-time work.
Her English was good, and with the recommendation of her teacher, she took on some translation work. She spent some of the money she earned herself and saved some for Miao Cuihua.
At that time, Miao Cuihua thought she was being frugal, so she stuffed her with food.
Thinking about what happened back then, she felt a little amused and helpless, ahem.
She left the passbook in the house in the space. She wanted to keep the money for future use.
After going out, she saw Duoduo's door was open. She walked over and found Duoduo writing.
After teaching Duoduo for a while, I found that Duoduo is a very smart girl.
She can learn it after just one teaching. This kind of talent is even better than hers. She has to read many things several times before she can understand them.
She thought Duoduo must have a high IQ, so she taught her quickly. In just two months, she had caught up with the progress of a sixth-grade student.
She thought that Duoduo would go directly to sixth grade and then to junior high and high school, and she would not be able to take the college entrance examination.
However, Duoduo will only be in her twenties in ten years. If she is interested, she can just apply to university.
Teaching her is quick and easy, but her handwriting foundation is very weak. Whenever she has free time, Duoduo buries herself in writing.
Lu Xiangxiang took a look at her handwriting, then lowered his head to teach her how to write better.
Of course, there is no shortcut to writing, only practice makes perfect.
The atmosphere between the two was very warm, and they spent the fifth day of the New Year studying, teaching, and reading.
They had to go back to work on the sixth day of the New Year. Lu Xiangxiang took out her police uniform and put it on. After looking at herself in the mirror and seeing nothing wrong with herself, she put on the winter police uniform jacket.
Once she put on the coat, she looked like a ball.
When I went out, I saw Zhou Ziheng already waiting outside. He was holding an umbrella in his hand, and snowflakes kept falling from above his head and under his umbrella.
Looking at the thick layer of snow on the umbrella, she was stunned. "When did you come?"
"Just came for a while."
"You're lying."
He knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he just smiled.
"Don't come so early next time. If you want to come early, go in first."
"Okay." He agreed immediately.
"Let's go." She reached out and took his umbrella.
Zhou Ziheng got on the bicycle and she sat on the back holding an umbrella for him.
