Chapter 820 The eldest aunt's embarrassment
The eldest aunt went into the bedroom, and when she came out, she had four brand-new clothes in her hand.
She called several children to come to her and gave four pieces of clothing to Song Han and the others.
"When I was shopping a few days ago, I saw these clothes that were pretty good. I thought the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so I bought a new piece of clothes for the children. Go try it on and see if it fits. No. If it fits, you can exchange it.
"Thank you, grandma. As long as it is a gift from grandma, Jinchu likes it when Jinchu holds her eldest aunt's arm and acts like a baby.
When Chu Nian took the new clothes, he was a little at a loss for a moment.
The new clothes bought by Jinchu's sister's grandmother actually got her share.
When the eldest aunt saw Jin Chu holding the clothes without saying a word, but not trying them on like Jin Chu did, she asked softly: "What's wrong, Nian Nian, do you not like it? It doesn't matter if you really don't like this style. Grandma can use it to change it.
"No, I like it very much." Chu Nian held the clothes in her arms and said with a crisp voice, "Thank you, grandma.
" "Go and try on clothes with your sister. You don't have to be polite here, just treat it like your own home." , you know? "
When Chu Nian ran to find Jin Chu, the eldest aunt asked in a low voice: "Why is this child Chu Nian still so timid? "
Xu Wanning sighed and said: "This child is sensitive by nature. Coupled with the changes in the family, she always likes to think too much, but it doesn't matter. I will enlighten her well.
The eldest aunt said seriously: "You really need to enlighten her well." She needs to tell her what she has in mind so that we can take appropriate measures to avoid leaving a knot in her heart in the future
. "Yes, I understand." Xu Wanning asked her aunt, "Isn't today the weekend?" "Why haven't everyone come yet?
" Deliberately told them to come back later. An Ning, actually, the eldest aunt wants you to help with something.
Hearing this, Xu Wanning immediately sat up straight and said, "Auntie, if you have anything to do, please tell
me." The aunt glanced towards the kitchen, Chen Ye and Xu Maoran Sitting at the door of the kitchen picking vegetables, the two of them were talking, with a slight smile on Chen Ye's face.
"I have encountered something difficult now, and I would like to ask for your opinion
. Xu Wanjing listened quietly to the eldest aunt's explanation.
"Two days ago, your eldest uncle and I sat together with Jingjing's parents and had a good talk about the two children. What we mean is to let your third brother and Jingjing choose the day to get married. No matter which day they choose, there is no problem. We, the husband, will fully cooperate. Your third brother wanted to get married years ago, but Jingjing meant to wait until after the New Year.
Xu Wanning said: "Sister Jingjing's idea is not difficult to understand. Although she and your third brother are in love now, she has not divorced yet. After half a year, I guess I want to wait until the new year is over and the divorce matter is over. It will be better to talk about getting married to the third brother. The
eldest aunt smiled and said: "What you said is exactly the same as Jingjing's idea. That's what she thought. Anyway, get married early and get married later, sooner or later you will get married, so it doesn't matter if you wait a month or two more. We respect Jingjing's wishes. And if it is later, we will have more time to settle the details of the wedding, so as not to be too hasty
. "But when it comes to marriage, one thing has to be involved, which is the betrothal gift
. Xu Wanning asked: "Uncle Tao and Did Aunt Zhu ask for a lot of betrothal gifts? "
Xu Ning always felt that Tao's father and Tao's mother did not look like such people.
The eldest aunt shook her head and said: "Of course not. The Tao family didn't even mention the betrothal gift. They only said that Jingjing and Manman's wedding dates were at the wrong time, and they bought the same dowry for their two daughters. From beginning to end, there was no mention of how the bride price would be given. Later, I discussed it with your uncle and arranged it according to the highest standards for betrothal gifts in Beijing today.
"Jingjing is a good child, but she met someone unkind at first, so she wasted several years in vain. Although she was divorced, No one in our family cares about this. As long as she and Mao Ying can live happily in the future, your uncle and I will be happy. Moreover, our family has known each other for so many years, and they are so good. "Giving more will also
show how much we value Jingjing
. The eldest aunt also discussed the size of this betrothal gift carefully with Xu's mother. After all, the wedding date of Tao Manman and Xu Maoyan is , it was decided a long time ago.
She is also a girl from the Tao family. The eldest daughter's betrothal gift cannot be too different from that of the second daughter. If word spreads about this, others will not say that the eldest son of the Xu family is stingy. They will only say that Tao Jingjing is divorced, so the betrothal gift is not comparable. Go to my sister.
The eldest aunt sincerely accepts this daughter-in-law, so she naturally has to consider everything and does not want to hear such comments.
Xu Wanning knew what kind of character her eldest aunt was, so she was not surprised that she would have such thoughts.
"So, what's the dilemma for eldest aunt?"
It's definitely not the lack of money.
If the eldest aunt was really short of money, she would never ask her to borrow money.
After all, all the elders of the Xu family unanimously believe that the younger generation is only there to be pampered, and if they are not allowed to do so, they must not make requests to the younger generation.
The eldest aunt looked at Chen Ye again.
"When your eldest brother married your eldest sister-in-law, we didn't give you a small gift. We also gave it according to the highest standards in Beijing. But after all, several years have passed, and during this period we have experienced reform and opening up, so prices have increased. , the size of the betrothal gift has also increased accordingly.
"If we give Jingjing a betrothal gift according to the current standards, it means that we will treat Yeye badly. I wanted to make up for the betrothal gift for Ye Ye, focusing on being impartial, but Ye Ye said nothing. So, please help me persuade Yeye
. Xu Wanning was silent.
After quarreling for a long time, the eldest aunt's dilemma turned out to be this.
But at the same time, she felt that this was reasonable, because her eldest aunt was a very good person.
Xu Wanning already had concerns in her mind, but before she could speak, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Xu Maoying came in with Tao Jingjing.
"Brother and sister-in-law, didn't you say we would do it together when we come back? How did you get it first?
" Chen Ye smiled and said, "Anyway, we have nothing to do when we are free. We are just picking vegetables, and we are not tired.
"That's not okay, say Okay, let’s work together, how can we let you suffer? Leave the task of sweeping the floor to me later.
“Okay, thank you for your hard work. Xu Maoran didn’t care about this little thing with his brother.
After Xu Wanning greeted Tao Jingjing, she said to the eldest aunt: "Auntie, what I mean is, call the eldest sister-in-law and sister Jingjing together, and let's talk about this in person.
