Chapter 304 Dowry

Yu Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this: "Mom usually doesn't let Dad drink, but today he will definitely drink all the alcohol he didn't drink before if he gets the chance."

Li Xiulan patted her daughter's shoulder in annoyance and said, "Look at what you said. When did I stop your father from drinking? I told him to drink less."

"Your father also knows that drinking can cause trouble, so he usually restrains himself. Now that you are back, he will definitely ask for leave tomorrow, so he has nothing to fear."

Since he doesn't have to go to work and doesn't have to worry about missing work, Comrade Lao Yu has let himself go a bit.

Yu Wanqing stood aside and laughed: "Mom, some people say that when others talk about their husbands, it is best not to interrupt, because they may complain while feeling happy in their hearts."

"Look, I just said one sentence, and you started to say a lot of words to defend my father."

After hearing this, Li Xiulan glared at her annoying daughter and said, "Go away, go back and get some rest. You have to get up early tomorrow."

"It's a bit troublesome to cook at home, so I'll go to the state-owned hotel for lunch tomorrow."

Yu Wanqing asked, "I have quite a few tickets. I'll give them to you tomorrow morning."

Li Xiulan was not polite to her daughter: "Okay, bring it here."

She had money but few tickets of various kinds, and she did not ask her daughter where she got so many tickets.

Because she knew her daughter's character and knew she would not do anything illegal, those tickets were most likely given by her son-in-law.

Of course, since she took her daughter's ticket, she wouldn't let her suffer any loss.

Back in the room, Huo Lanci took the man into his arms and asked in a low voice: "Is our father drunk?"

Yu Wanqing nodded: "I was drunk, but my mother didn't let anyone say anything."

Huo Lanci chuckled: "This is not normal. I will not allow others to say that about you, even if that person is our son or daughter."

"They can only respect you, protect you, and be close to you, but they are not allowed to criticize you."

After hearing this, Yu Wanqing lay in Huo Lanci's arms and laughed secretly: "That's good, that's good."

"When you have a child, you will be the fierce old father, and I will be the kind and gentle old mother."

Huo Lanci listened to her making plans in front of him without any hesitation, feeling helpless but also amused: "Don't worry, I promise I will be a very strict father."

As to whether you will be a loving mother, that remains to be seen.

After hearing what Huo Lanci said, Yu Wanqing couldn't help but roll her eyes: How could you not believe that this guy would be Yan's father?

She did ask for this, but she felt deep down that if she had a daughter, this guy would not be able to be a strict father.

If it's a son, it's easier to deal with.

This can be seen from the eldest brother of the Huo family. Huo Nuan is the apple of the eye and precious daughter of the eldest brother.

If it were my son, if he was naughty, he might be beaten every two or three days.

It is said that the Huo Lanci brothers were often punished by their great-grandmother in the past. After their great-grandmother passed away, the two brothers became even more naughty and often asked for family punishment. There were marks of beatings all over their bodies.

It was not until he was fourteen or fifteen years old, when he was a little older, that he began to work hard and make progress. Then, Father Huo no longer had the opportunity or reason to beat his son.

When talking about this, Dad Huo still felt a little regretful.

Yu Wanqing really laughed out loud at that time.

She felt that it was a tradition in the Huo family that Huo Lan would pamper his daughter and be strict with his son after he passed away.

Huo Lanci lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms: "Why, you don't believe me?"

Yu Wanqing shook her head repeatedly: "No, I believe you. How could I not believe you?"

Huo Lanci felt that this woman was hypocritical and clearly had other ideas but she just wouldn't tell him.

Although Yu Zhian was drunk last night, he still got up at around five in the morning today and bought some pork to make dumplings to entertain his in-laws.

At around six in the morning, Huo Lanci and Yu Wanqing had already gotten up. They helped clean the house and prepared breakfast.

It was past eight o'clock when Huo Lanci drove to the guesthouse to pick up his parents.

Zhang Chunyu and his wife knew that Xiaowu's parents-in-law were coming, so they rushed back from her parents' home early and bought some food on the way.

When the Huo couple arrived at the Yu family, they were greeted not only by the warmth of the Yu family, but also by a table of steaming hot breakfast.

They had a drink and chatted together last night, so there was no pressure on the Huo and Yu families to get along with each other.

As the Yu family's parents spoke, they began to praise Huo Lanci. Huo's parents also praised how good their daughter-in-law Yu Wanqing was.

In the end, the two parties were so embarrassed that they wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves.

After breakfast, the two children of the Yu family clamored to go to the yard to play, so Zhang Chunyu had to take them out to avoid disturbing everyone's conversation.

The neighbors saw a jeep parked outside the Huo family's house and people got out of the car carrying large bags of things. Everyone couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Zhang Chunyu smiled and said to the old lady next door, "My Xiaowu's girlfriend and her parents-in-law are here."

"Ah, Xiaowu is married?" Although the old lady is over 70 years old, she is not confused. She heard clearly that Zhang Chunyu was talking about parents-in-law, not future parents-in-law.

This proved that Yu Xiaowu was really married. She couldn't help but open her mouth in disbelief.

Everyone in the family compound knew that Yu Xiaowu had a boyfriend, who was also an educated youth who went to the countryside. During the Chinese New Year, everyone saw the young man, who was tall and handsome.

I just didn't expect them to get married so soon.

Zhang Chunyu smiled and nodded: "We have already met both parents, and we are very satisfied, so Xiaowu and my aunt went to get the marriage certificate two days ago."

One young wife couldn't help but come over and ask, "I heard that Xiaowu's partner is from Beijing. How much gift did they give?"

After the words were spoken, many people pricked up their ears to hear clearly.

Zhang Chunyu also knew that the people in the family compound were very curious, so she did not hide it: "I gave 1,100 yuan as a betrothal gift, and everything was prepared. They also made a few new clothes for my little five."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this. In Shangyang, the average betrothal gift is around 100 or 200 yuan, and those who give several hundred yuan are considered "rich families".

Unexpectedly, Yu Wanqing's in-laws actually gave 1,100 yuan.

"Your sister-in-law is a blessed child." The old lady smiled and said, "Life is easy when her in-laws value her. Xiaowu's blessings are yet to come."

This is a good thing. Even if some people don’t think so in their hearts, what they say are good things.

The Huo couple returned to Beijing after lunch.

After returning from the hotel, the Yu family was drinking tea and talking in the living room. Li Xiulan went back to the room and took out two brocade boxes. She put the larger brocade box in front of Yu Wanqing and said, "Xiaowu, this is the betrothal gift from the Huo family. You can take it back to your small family and live your life there."

After that, she handed another brocade box to her daughter and said, "This is the dowry your father and I prepared for you. There are 1,100 yuan in it."

"There are also some furniture. Your father has been looking for them outside since you were born. They are all made of good materials. It is not suitable to take them out now. Keep them for when you return to Beijing to live in the future and take them back."
