Chapter 21: Dowry, is nine thousand nine hundred enough?
At this time, Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu suddenly understood why Jiang Xinrou had used all sorts of means to try to snatch this marriage away.
Who wouldn't be moved by such a tall, handsome and majestic military officer son-in-law!
For a while.
Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu both stared at Qin Jiulie with blank eyes.
He was so motionless that he was almost turning into a wooden man.
It was Jiang Ning who pushed them both.
"Dad, Mom, why are you standing there like an idiot? Let us in quickly. If you have anything to say, let's go in and talk."
Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu finally reacted.
The two of them nodded hurriedly and smiled dazedly.
"Yes, yes, you can't just stand there stupidly at the door. Come in... come in..."
Although they said they were entering the door, Jiang Ning and Qin Jiulie still walked back and forth several times.
Gradually, they moved the car full of things to Jiang's house.
At this time.
Many neighbors came up to talk to them, curious about what they bought, and looked into the bags in the department store;
On the other hand, they also wanted to find out about Qin Jiulie's background.
Jiang Ning didn't want to deal with all this, so he just smiled and said nothing.
Whenever someone came up, she grabbed a handful of wedding candy and stuffed it into their hands. Everything was said without words.
After eating her wedding candy, they shut their mouths.
After a while.
Jiang Ning had almost moved all the things he had bought, and he felt that nothing was left out.
But Qin Jiulie still walked out and headed towards the back of the carriage.
Is there something else?
Jiang Ning followed him puzzled.
When I walked to the car, I just saw Qin Jiulie carrying a red and white bag and taking it out from the trunk.
On the bag, there were four big characters written in print:
China Moutai.
This made Jiang Ning's eyes pop out!
The pure Chinese Moutai liquor will continue to be synonymous with top-level luxury goods for decades to come.
Not to mention this day and age, these are all state banquet-level items. ◢
It's completely a rationing system, and even this afternoon in the department store, it wasn't available for sale!
Qin Jiulie was so open about taking it out, totally ignoring the eyes around him that were staring at them.
What's wrong with this man!
How come you don’t know the principle of not showing off your wealth!
"No, no, no, don't take it out."
Jiang Ning hurriedly reached out and pressed Qin Jiulie's hand.
His bright eyes rolled around, and after glancing at the people around him and seeing no special reaction, he felt relieved.
She frowned and muttered softly.
"When did you buy this? How come I didn't know?"
In Qin Jiulie's eyes, Jiang Ning's frowning and muttering look was very much like a young wife scolding her husband for doing something wrong.
Even small disagreements are inevitable in marriage life.
Otherwise, how can we quarrel at the head of the bed and make peace at the foot of the bed?
Although it is now the first day of marriage, Qin Jiulie has already felt the sweetness and fun of married life.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Ning glared at the man again.
A pair of beautiful eyes filled with shyness and anger.
Looks quite fierce.
Qin Jiulie's eyes were reluctant to leave her pretty face, he stared at her deeply before speaking.
"My parents specifically asked me to prepare these things. They said that this was my first day at their house and I was proposing marriage, so I had to be polite, otherwise your parents would think we were not sincere."
So-called courtesy and sincerity...
Jiang Ning looked carefully at the rear compartment——
Good job!
There were actually four bottles of Moutai, two cans of tea, and a set of purple clay teapots.
It was only three days, and Qin Jiulie was also handling official business at the same time, so no one knew where he got it from.
But as long as it has passed through his hands, it is absolutely priceless.
Jiang Ning looked at those expensive "etiquettes" and raised his eyes to look at the man beside him.
She asked, "Do you have to send it?"
Qin Jiulie insisted, "It's a must. Your parents married their daughter to me. This is my wish."
Jiang Ning thought about it and finally came up with a solution.
She saw several raincoats in the back of the military vehicle.
Pointed.
"Wrap these things up in your raincoat, don't let anyone see them. This is a family compound, and all the people living here are ordinary factory workers. If people knew that we have so many treasures hidden in our home, they would definitely be targeted by thieves. It's too unsafe."
Finally.
Jiang Ning added with more emphasis.
"This is only allowed once. Don't send such expensive things in the future."
"Wife, don't worry, this is the only time I will propose marriage. I will only do it once in my life."
Qin Jiulie spoke and moved quickly.
All the little knots in Jiang Ning's heart were instantly smoothed out by his words.
It only happens once in a lifetime, and it is very touching.
…
Inside the house.
Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu were panicking.
"Yuanshan, do you think my clothes are okay? Do you want to go back and change into something else?"
"Do you have any other clothes besides the one you're wearing? Weren't they all taken away by my second brother... Jiang Erhai and the others? I think forget it..."
"How can we just let it go? We don't even have a chair to invite people to sit down. What should we do? What if our son-in-law looks down on our Aning?"
"How dare he! If he looks down on my Aning, I won't let Aning marry him!"
"Don't be so stubborn and talk nonsense at this time! Hurry up and think of a way to solve the current problem!"
But when the couple looked at each other, they saw that the house had been robbed and was empty.
Son, what else can you think of?
Things like tables and chairs, can they just appear out of thin air?
In the end, it was Jiang Yuanshan who took a deep breath and made the decision as the head of the family.
"It's okay. We are still the same as before! If my son-in-law really likes my Ning, he won't dislike our family."
Having said that.
In the end, the couple hurriedly borrowed money from their neighbors, and Gu Yunshu went out to buy some cooked food.
The family can finally sit down and have a good meal.
At the dinner table.
The new son-in-law came to the house and met his father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time. The atmosphere was subtly awkward.
Qin Jiulie, a man who had experienced life and death and seen big scenes, was actually a little nervous.
He sat next to Jiang Ning, his back straight, and the expression between his eyebrows was meticulous.
He spoke in a deep voice as if he was reporting on work.
"Dad, Mom, today is the first time we meet. My name is Qin Jiulie, I am 26 years old, currently serving in the A District of the Southwest Military Region, and my rank is regiment commander. I have grandparents, parents, five brothers, and three sisters at home. I am the ninth child. You can call me Jiulie directly, or you can call me Xiao Qin."
When Jiang Ning heard Qin Jiulie call him "Xiao Qin" in such a meticulous manner, he almost burst out laughing.
She pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress her smile.
Gu Yunshu was standing by and secretly patted her arm, "Girl, Xiao Qin is so serious, you should be serious too."
"Xiao...Xiao Qin! Xiao Qin, hello! Well, I'm fine!"
Jiang Yuanshan looked at Qin Jiulie and became more and more satisfied. He naturally started calling him Xiao Qin.
Qin Jiulie nodded in agreement one by one, not feeling embarrassed at all.
And continue talking.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here for the first time today to propose marriage. I hope you can leave Jiang Ning to me. These things are the betrothal gifts I prepared, and they are also a little token of our family's love."
Talking.
Qin Jiulie took off his raincoat and placed Moutai liquor, tea, and a whole set of exquisite purple clay teapots on the table.
A moment.
Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu were stunned, and they both opened their mouths at the same time.
Could it be that those things just now... the bicycle, sewing machine, radio, watch, and so many food and daily necessities... aren't those the betrothal gifts?
How come there are so many suddenly?
Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu were so shocked that their jaws dropped and they couldn't even speak.
but.
Both of them, including Jiang Ning, completely underestimated Qin Jiulie.
The betrothal gifts Qin Jiulie prepared were more than just these.
Keep this in mind.
Qin Jiulie took out a passbook directly from his pocket.
"Dad, Mom, there are 9,999 yuan in this passbook. I originally wanted to collect 10,000 yuan, but my parents said that 9,999 yuan has a better meaning, so I chose this number. This is also the betrothal gift I prepared, please accept it together."
Overnight.
In the Jiang family's living room, the air seemed to have stopped flowing and was in a state of stagnation.
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The three members of the Jiang family all opened their eyes wide, staring at the passbook in Qin Jiulie's hand in disbelief, and were speechless for a long time.
Qin Jiulie frowned.
He asked doubtfully, "Is this money not enough? I have other savings, but they are all in the military. If I need it, I can submit a report and apply for it."
