Chapter 31 Chapter 31 is his betrothal gift.
Zhao Xiaoya gasped: "Didn't you say before that my money would be handed over to your mother in the future?"
Zhao Lei said as if it was a matter of course: "Is there any need to say this? Don't you have to give your money to your family when you are at home?"
"And my mom said that only this way can we save money to raise a child. My mom said that raising a child is very expensive, and everything from eating, drinking, and defecating to urinating all costs money, so my mom said that we must be frugal. But fortunately, we both have jobs, so it won't be too difficult. My mom said that when we both earn money, she will stay at home to take care of the child for us."
My mom said, my mom said, my mom said...
At this moment, these three words were echoing in Zhao Xiaoya's ears.
My mind was hazy, thinking, did Zhou Lei always say "my mother said" when he spoke before? Why can't she remember it?
Zhao Xiaoya felt a little breathless.
Is it really worth marrying a man who hands over his salary to his mother and obeys his mother in everything?
"I won't buy the shoes for now. Please return the money to this comrade. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first." After saying that, Zhao Xiaoya ignored Zhou Lei's astonished expression and ran out of this place that made her feel suffocated temporarily without looking back.
The two of them spoke quietly, but Ye Tan was close to them and listened to the whole thing. She was stunned.
How could anyone think that asking his wife to hand over her salary is a matter of course? They haven't even gotten married yet, and she felt that the future of life was bleak just by hearing this. Fortunately, the woman didn't seem to be completely in love.
After they reached the other side, she said to Gu Zhao, "I hope that woman can turn back in time."
"Mama's boys are only fit to spend their lives with their mothers. Stop harming other lesbians."
This reminded Ye Tan of the original plot, in which the heroine's ex-boyfriend was an out-and-out mama's boy.
It was the first time that Gu Zhao heard the term "mama's boy" and couldn't help but ask, "What is a mama's boy?"
Ye Tan explained: "I just listen to my mother in everything. My mother said it all the time, as if I don't have a brain."
Gu Zhao thought of the couple just now, and he understood a little: "Don't worry, I'm not, and my mother rarely interferes in my affairs."
Ye Tan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Of course I know."
No matter who you ask, Gu Zhao is a mama's boy. He has his own ideas.
As they were talking, they saw a cloth stall in front of them, and they went to pick out some brightly colored cloth.
It is a light, thin and breathable material that is very suitable for making skirts in summer. It is said to be a fashionable style that has just been shipped from Guangdong Province. The clothes made from it have good drape and are stylish. Of course, the price is also very attractive.
Finally, I selected some fabrics suitable for making shirts.
Gu Zhao knew at a glance that the material was not chosen for her, and she was already feeling excited.
"The sewing machine is over there, let's go and take a look."
The sewing machine is a large and valuable item, so it is placed in an inconspicuous corner.
Next to the sewing machine is the bicycle, and next to that are the radio and TV.
From a distance, it looked like a small rectangular iron box. Ye Tan took a few glances at it but had no desire to buy it.
Not only were televisions at that time all black and white, there weren't really any good programs. After spending so much money to buy one, it was basically just a decoration for her. It would be better for her to buy a radio and listen to songs and learn about social conditions and public sentiments from the radio.
So Ye Tan took a quick look and then looked away, concentrating on the sewing machine, which was her lifelong item.
The salesperson said, "We have two brands of sewing machines: Bee and Butterfly. They're about the same price. Take a look at which one you want. We can deliver to your door if you need a large item."
Bee and Butterfly are both old brands. She once saw one of her grandmother's dowries, an old Bee brand sewing machine from the fifties or sixties. The wooden table was broken, the sewing belt was badly worn, and some places even had rust, but the machine was still usable, and the sewing clothes were still silky smooth.
From this we can see that the quality of these old brands of domestic products is really beyond reproach.
After asking the price, one was 180 yuan and the other 182 yuan. The difference of two yuan was not for the item itself but for the shipping fee. In the end, Ye Tan chose the Bee brand.
Ye Tan made the final decision and Gu Zhao just had to pay.
The salesperson didn't expect that the two people would buy the product right away, unlike the others who came back and forth to look and ask, and hesitated for a long time but couldn't make up their minds to buy.
The salesperson's smile was much warmer. The customer was straightforward, so she didn't waste any words. She was facing a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Human beings' innate appreciation of beauty also made her attitude subconsciously different from that of other customers.
The salesperson quickly wrote the receipt and handed it to Gu Zhao, who then handed it to Ye Tan.
Ye Tan: "Shouldn't the goods be delivered to your home first? Then you should keep this ticket. You will need to check it when you receive the goods."
Gu Zhao thought about it and it made sense. After these betrothal gifts were purchased, they could not be sent directly to Ye Tan's house. Instead, they had to be sent to Gu's house first, and then taken to Ye's house together with other betrothal gifts tomorrow. This would be an announcement to everyone that the Gu and Ye families were engaged.
After choosing the sewing machine, they turned to look at the bicycle next to it. Ye Tan held his chin and thought: "If you go to the army, should I go with you?"
Gu Zhao thought she didn't want to go, and hurriedly said, "Of course, you still let me go by myself?"
Ye Tan comforted him: "It's not that I don't want to go, but if we all go, what will happen to the bicycle? You already have one at home, so this one would be a bit redundant, but it would be troublesome to take it with us. Oh, and there's also the sewing machine, which we can't take with us."
It’s not that Ye Tan is unwilling to join the army. “What’s the difficulty? I can mail it to you when the time comes.” It’s just a matter of spending a little more money, so what?
"How much is the postage for something this big? Why don't you just not buy it? And return the sewing machine too."
"No." Gu Zhao said, "These are the betrothal gifts I gave you. If you don't accept them, I'll go to your house tomorrow empty-handed to propose. Won't I be laughed out loud? Do you want my father-in-law and mother-in-law to beat me out?"
Ye Tan pinched her waist and said, "What are you talking about? My parents wouldn't be so unreasonable. I'm making a kind suggestion to help you save money, and you're not happy about it?"
Seeing Ye Tan's eyebrows raised and looking angry, Gu Zhao quickly coaxed her, "Don't be angry, I know you are doing this for my own good, but our wedding is in a hurry. If we do it carelessly and cause gossip, it will not be beautiful. Xiao Tan, I want to give you the best."
Ye Tan was speechless. Gu Zhao was a little anxious. "Xiao Tan."
Ye Tan, who had been frowning, finally smiled. Of course, she was not angry at first, she was just teasing him on purpose.
"Okay, okay, if you're not afraid of trouble, why should I be? But we don't want to waste money here, so we won't buy the bicycle for now. Do you agree?"
"Agreed, agreed. Let's go look at the radio first. We have to buy this one."
His betrothal gifts must not be missing a single one.
