Chapter 822: Dowry Shocks the Entire Compound
The mother and daughter cried very sadly, and Xu Zijin and Gu Xiaotian also had tears in their eyes.
After the mother and daughter had cried for almost enough, Xu Zijin stepped forward and hugged them.
"Well, this is good news, we should be happy."
"Yes, auntie, this is good news. We should laugh, not cry!"
Gu Xiaotian also advised...
Soon Zhu Chuan learned that Lu Yulan was in good health, and he immediately ran over: "Yulan, are you relieved now?"
Lu Yulan cried and laughed, her tears flowing like a river.
And the Zhu family.
"I haven't gotten pregnant in three years of marriage. Is that normal? You're kidding me."
When Zhu's father heard this, his face darkened. He said to his wife, "Wenxiu, are you willing to lose this son?"
Mother Zhu pursed her lips and said, "I'm just talking in front of you. Chuan'er isn't here."
Father Zhu did not let it go. He knew very well that among his three sons, this one was the most outstanding and promising, but also the most stubborn.
If I really make him sad, he might never come home again!
"Wenxiu, I know what you're thinking. You want Chuan'er to find someone you like as a wife."
"But the person he lives with is his wife, not you!"
"It's his right to marry whomever he wants."
"You can give suggestions, but you can't make decisions for him. I hope you can think before you speak in the future."
"His eldest brother-in-law is not only his best brother, but also his chief. You should not put him in a difficult position."
"You chose the wives of the eldest and third sons. Don't you know what they are like?"
"Chuan'er is educated, thoughtful, and insightful. You should stay out of their lives."
"It would be great if they have children in the future. If not, let the third child adopt one for them."
"I'm warning you, stop looking for trouble. I think this daughter-in-law is pretty good!"
Zhu Ma was scolded so hard that she dared not even open her mouth.
Mr. Zhu is a leader in the unit, and she doesn't dare to really challenge him.
Zhu's father and mother would go back to work in two days. On the morning of the fifth day of the New Year, they officially came to visit the Lu family to discuss the marriage of their two children.
This time, Zhu Ma kept smiling the whole time.
Regardless of whether her smile was real or fake, the Lu family treated it as real.
After drinking tea and discussing, Lu Hanzhou sent a truck, and Xu Zijin and Lu Yulan went to the city department store together.
The family had both, so Xu Zijin waved his hand and bought an 18-inch color TV for 1,200 yuan.
In the afternoon, Lu Sanmao arrived.
"Dad, Mom, there's too much time at home, so I didn't let Long Xing and the others come."
Mrs. Lu understands this, after all, there is still a lot of things to do at home.
"It's okay. I have to go home and have a party in a few months anyway."
Lu Sanmao was really happy that his sister was getting married, and to such an outstanding man, and he gave his sister a gift package worth two hundred yuan.
"Sister, congratulations."
Lu Yulan bit her lip and said, "Thank you, Sanmao. Is everything okay at home? Has Qingmiao grown up a lot?"
Lu Sanmao nodded excitedly: "Yeah, yeah, he's grown up a lot now, he can smile at people now."
"Sister, I'm really happy to hear that you are in good health. I hope you can give birth to a son for your brother-in-law soon."
This brother... Lu Sanmao's words made Lu Yulan a little speechless!
"Sanmao, after going through so much, I have let go of many things."
"To be honest, as long as I can have a baby, I will be satisfied no matter if it is a boy or a girl."
"Daughters are no worse than sons. If it weren't for my eldest sister-in-law, our family wouldn't be as prosperous as it is today."
"My sister-in-law's family has a good life because of her."
"So, don't look down on Qing Dou and Qing Miao because they are daughters. It's not certain who will have a conscience when they grow up, right?"
As soon as these words fell, Lu Sanmao immediately said: "Sister, I don't favor boys over girls."
"The family planning policy is very strict now. Even if I want a son, I can't have one."
"Don't worry, I will raise them well."
That's good.
Lu Yulan knew why her sister-in-law Long Xing was in a hurry to have a second child, because her eldest sister-in-law had given birth to two sons and two daughters.
She wants to have a son!
But having a son also requires fortune-telling, it cannot be achieved in a hurry.
Lu Yulan and Zhu Chuan are going to have their wedding tomorrow, so the Lu family will be really busy that day.
Anyone who comes to give gifts has to give gifts in return, so the whole family is mobilized.
At 11:28 am on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the regiment cafeteria was decorated with lights and filled with joy, with children running all over the floor holding candies and firecrackers.
There were big red wedding characters posted everywhere, and the tree in front of the door was hung with colorful flowers.
The dining tables were pulled to the sides, and there was a platform right above.
Division Chief of Staff Gu Lichen stood in front of the great man's portrait and saw that the auspicious time had arrived. He announced loudly: "Please invite our newcomers to enter."
As soon as he finished speaking, firecrackers rang out outside.
In accordance with the army's usual simple style, after taking the oath, Zhu Chuan was in high spirits and distributed wedding candies and cigarettes to everyone.
Everyone kept congratulating each other and the scene was very lively.
Most of the women did not go to the regiment’s canteen. They all crowded into Zhu Chuan’s home.
Xu Zilan, Xu Yu, Ye Lin, Zhu Xiaoping and Chang Qiumian were all helping to greet the guests.
The candies on the table were replaced one after another, and people came in waves. Soon, the whole courtyard was full of discussions...
"This dowry is too generous. It's a color TV. This should be the first one in our camp staff family compound, right?"
Someone responded: "Of course it is. Do you know how expensive this thing is?"
"I heard that one machine costs 1,200 yuan, and an industrial ticket is required. We can't afford it."
One thousand two hundred yuan is equivalent to several years' salary of their men.
Who can afford it?
Not only this, but also that double-cassette recorder, which the department store marked as priced at four hundred and eighty dollars each!
The watches are a pair, Diamond brand.
The bicycle is Phoenix brand and the sewing machine is Butterfly brand.
Adding all these together, it would cost at least a thousand dollars.
Four new quilts, eight sets of new clothes, two pairs of leather shoes for men and women, and three thousand yuan in dowry.
This time Zhu Chuan is really rich!
Everyone was envious, jealous and hateful, but Zhu Ma had mixed feelings.
Most of the daughters-in-law she married before were at a loss, but this one was a big profit.
Apart from these obvious things, Zhu Ma also saw a passbook.
A bankbook with the daughter-in-law's name on it, with a string of very auspicious numbers on it: six six six six...
This was the first time in Zhu Ma's life that she had seen so much savings.
She also heard from others that her daughter-in-law and her brother opened a braised food store in the city and could earn several hundred yuan a month!
The slap in the face was so loud that when Zhu Ma left early in the morning on the seventh day with two new sets of clothes, she didn't even dare to speak.
Before leaving, Dad Zhu went to the Lu family to say goodbye very politely and expressed many words of thanks.
Although he was not satisfied with Zhu's mother, for Zhu Chuan's sake, Lu Hanzhou sent a car for him to take his parents to the city.
The Lu family has never married off their daughter, so they want to go back and set up a few tables for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Xu Zijin understood Lu's mother's feelings and agreed to wait until late April to see the specific situation. If possible, he would definitely go back to do it.
The daughter who had worried her the most got married. Mother Lu walked with a lot more pep in her step and always smiled at everyone she met.
But just when she was so happy, Lu Sanmao's words made her so angry that her face turned black...
