Chapter 91 Make up the difference
Zhang Kun didn't refuse this time. He really should leave as he had to go to work the next morning!
He is the only chef in their canteen. If he doesn't go to work, the people in the unit won't have anything to eat.
Zhang Kun went home, packed up, and left Li's house on his bicycle.
Li Yong can still stay at home for two more days. The restaurant has not had much business during this period and the boss would rather they don't go to work!
If too many people leave, they will just be idle, and they still have to be paid.
As for Li Miao, after the wheat harvest, she went to the county town for two days and visited many places, but still couldn't find a job.
The county town was very small and Li Miao finished his tour in two days before returning home.
Li Xu also has more time because the children are on vacation.
It doesn’t matter whether you go back or not. Anyway, you have paid for the stall and no one else can take it away. You can go back whenever you want.
At night, Li Zhiming was afraid that someone would come to steal the steel pipes, so he rolled up his bedding and slept on the field.
Li Yong was also afraid that something might really happen, so he followed along.
It was hot in the summer and there were many mosquitoes in the fields. Li Yong almost didn't sleep well the whole night.
The next morning, Li Yong felt completely depressed.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the mosquito bites on Li Yong's arms and said with some concern: "Second Uncle, you and Grandpa should set up a mosquito net at night, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well and won't have the energy to work during the day."
Li Yong nodded and looked at Liu Guihua: "Mom, bring the mosquito net from home to us at night. Dad and I will use bamboo poles to build a frame and make do with it."
"Didn't you take the mugwort? Didn't you order any?" Liu Guihua asked curiously.
Li Yong sighed: "Mugwort is useful at home, but what use is it here? It's the same whether you plant it or not."
Li Zhiming was in better condition. He was used to being bitten in the fields, so his skin was thick and tough, so he was fine.
Li Yong rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's get started quickly. Everything will be fine once we finish it."
Ji Yuanyuan was wrapped up tightly today, wearing long-sleeved Dacron pants and a bamboo hat on her head.
Li Xu even covered her face with a silk scarf.
Two boys got tanned, so what? But a little girl got tanned, what should we do in the future?
When I woke up this morning and took a look, my daughter seemed to be showing signs of getting tanned.
That's why Li Xu quickly armed Ji Yuanyuan fully.
Although the three children couldn't help, they could still pass things to the children, saving the adults from running around.
This thing, practice makes perfect. The Li family worked in the fields for another two days, and the framework of the greenhouse was up.
That morning, Li Yong measured the size and rode his bicycle to the county to buy film.
Li Zhiming and others were also busy. They went to the mountain to get some wood, planning to build a small wooden shed on the ground.
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua planned to sleep here from now on.
The family was busy, when suddenly a sharp voice came: "Hey, busy!"
Ji Yuanyuan looked back and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties standing at the edge of the field, looking at them with a mean look on her face.
Liu Guihua was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "It's Yufang's mother, how come you have time to come here today?"
Ji Yuanyuan stood beside Li Xu, looking at the woman calmly.
It seems that this is not a good person.
"Seeing that your Li Lei is about to come back, what do you think about the matter between him and Yufang?" Yufang's mother squinted her eyes and kept looking at the greenhouse in the field.
Ji Yuanyuan immediately understood that this woman was her uncle's future mother-in-law.
She secretly lit a candle for her uncle in her heart. It seemed that her uncle would have a hard time in the future.
I don’t know what my future aunt will be like, but I hope she won’t be like her mother.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanyuan raised her head again.
Liu Guihua was not good at speaking to begin with, and when she heard what Yufang's mother said, she was completely stunned.
After a moment, she said in a flattering manner, "Well... wait for Xiaolei to come back, find a good day, and let them go to get the certificate. You don't have to worry about the wedding. We guarantee that it will be a grand occasion..."
The last time Li Lei came back, he stayed at home for a month. After a successful blind date with Liang Yufang, they got engaged and gave her 600 yuan as a betrothal gift.
Now we are just waiting for Li Lei to come back, get the marriage certificate with Liang Yufang, and then have a wedding, and then we will be starting a family.
When Yufang's mother heard what Liu Guihua said, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course you are responsible for the wedding. I have never heard of the bride's family being responsible for the wedding. Our Yufang has been waiting for your Li Lei for three years. Only our Yufang is easy to talk to. Which girl can wait for you for three years?"
Liu Guihua said quickly: "Yes, yes, we all know that Yufang is good. When Yufang marries me, I promise to treat her like my own daughter."
Li Xu and Li Miao stood together, and both sisters looked unhappy.
But there is no other way, who asked them to marry someone else's daughter? Now I can only be respectful to them, otherwise what will I do if they don't want to marry me?
Yufang opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute, but she quickly swallowed her words of rebuttal, and looked at the greenhouse in the field, and then at Li Xu and Li Miao.
After a while, she finally spoke: "Our Yufang has been waiting for your Li Lei for three years. In the blink of an eye, she has grown from a 20-year-old girl to a 23-year-old old girl. In these three years, the prices have increased several times. You can go out and ask around. Nowadays, the bride price for a girl is always 3,000 to 5,000 yuan. Your Li family really took advantage of our Yufang..."
Yufang's mother said, curling her lips, "Look at your family, the greenhouse has been built. I heard from others that it would cost three to five thousand yuan to build this greenhouse. How about this, I won't ask for more, your family will give another thousand yuan to make up the difference, and when Li Lei comes back, I will let Yufang go and get the license with him immediately."
Ji Yuanyuan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she couldn't help but say, "Grandma, why do you say it as if you are selling something?"
She looked at Li Xu: "Right, Mom, we only say that when we sell vegetables!"
Wow, I’ve never heard of that you have to make up the difference in the bride price.
It's really a small blow, it opened my eyes.
Li Xu felt relieved when she heard her daughter say that, but she still said, "You don't understand adult matters, go play with your brother."
Upon hearing this, Yufang's mother glared at Ji Yuanyuan and said, "How can a little brat like you have the right to speak here?"
Seeing Yufang's mother's eyes wide open, as if she wanted to eat Ji Yuanyuan, Li Miao immediately stood in front of Ji Yuanyuan and said, "Auntie, you are talking as if our family has taken advantage of us. It's not my brother who asked your Yufang to wait. When my brother was leaving, he wanted to get the marriage certificate with your Yufang, but your family was not happy at that time."
