Chapter 239 Give More Dowry



Qi Zhijun originally wanted Zheng Meili to agree to Zheng Yingying's marriage, but after hearing this, Zheng Meili couldn't sleep at all.

She lay straight for ten minutes, and when Qi Zhijun was about to fall asleep, she asked quietly, "Zhijun, do you still want me?"

Qi Zhijun found it a little funny. It seemed that Zheng Meili only heard half of what he said just now. He knew about Zheng Yingying's physical condition when they got married, but he didn't say anything for so many years. How could they get divorced after so many years?

However, there is one thing that he originally didn't want to say, but now he can reveal a little.

"Meili, I think Yingying's wedding should be arranged sooner. I may have to change my job."

"What?" Zheng Meili sat up from the bed in shock: "What does it mean to be transferred?"

"I asked for it myself. Now there happened to be an opportunity to be transferred to the Southern Military Region. The leader approached me, and I agreed."

In fact, there is another reason. Qi Zhijun and Gu Guizhi have always been in the same unit, which is not good for Gu Guizhi's development.

Qi Zhijun was not very old and wanted to give it another try, so when his leader approached him, he thought about it and agreed.

Zheng Meili's already sluggish mind could no longer move. She said in a stagnant voice, "If you transfer, then both of us will leave?"

Qi Zhijun looked at her with amusement: "Of course both of us will go."

Zheng Meili only worked in the first few years after her marriage, and has been at home ever since. She couldn't stay here after Qi Zhijun left.

After Qi Zhijun is transferred, the troops will also take back the houses in the family compound.

The two have been married for so many years, of course Zheng Meili wants to follow Qi Zhijun, but what about Zheng Yingying?

Thinking of this, she asked.

"So I want Yingying and Le Kangtai to get married as soon as possible. After they get married, they can apply for a dormitory at school. If they can't get one, they can see if they can rent a house."

Zheng Meili was very worried. She was worried about leaving Zheng Yingying just after she got married.

"If we both leave, Yingying will be left here alone. I'm worried."

Qi Zhijun reminded her: "Mengmeng is here too. Yingying can discuss anything with Mengmeng. Besides, there is also Guizhi."

Even if Gu Guizhi went out on a mission, their comrades would help them solve any problems they had, so why would they leave Zheng Yingying alone?

Zheng Meili then remembered that Qi Mengmeng was still here, and she had a good relationship with Zheng Yingying. Whenever Zheng Yingying encountered problems in the future, she could look for Qi Mengmeng, and Qi Mengmeng would probably not refuse.

"Okay, that's just the idea. The real transfer will probably take another two or three months."

Qi Zhijun yawned and said, "Go to sleep."

Zheng Meili followed and lay down, thinking about what dowry to prepare for Zheng Yingying and how to take these things away from home, and fell asleep in a daze.

In another room, Zheng Yingying hadn't slept yet. She listened to Zheng Meili's voice coming from next door, and her heart was in turmoil.

Zheng Yingying fell asleep only when there was no more noise from the next room.

At six o'clock in the morning, Zheng Yingying got up early. She first listened to the reaction from Zheng Meili's room. Zheng Meili seemed not to have gotten up yet.

Zheng Yingying tiptoed to the kitchen, washed the rice and cooked porridge.

When Zheng Meili got up, the porridge was almost cooked, and Zheng Yingying was kneading the dough, apparently preparing to make pancakes.

Zheng Yingying heard the noise behind her and turned around to smile at Zheng Meili ingratiatingly: "Mom, I have already cooked the porridge."

Zheng Meili felt sad. She walked over and took a look at the pot, and asked Zheng Yingying to wash her hands and she would do the rest of the work.

Zheng Yingying wanted to ask something, but didn't dare to ask when she saw Zheng Meili's expression.

Zheng Meili couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she sighed and said, "Go back and tell Le Kangtai to ask his parents to come over sometime and settle your affairs."

Zheng Yingying didn't understand at first, but after a while she realized what was happening, her voice full of surprise: "Mom, you agreed, Mom, you're so nice."

Zheng Yingying hugged Zheng Meili and put her head on her shoulder.

When Zheng Meili heard Zheng Yingying calling her mother again and again, the sadness she felt faded away. Forget it, as long as Zheng Yingying was happy, she would not take it seriously.

She deliberately put on a stern face: "Don't think that just because I agree will do. When you get married, Mom has prepared a dowry for you. Ask the Le family how much they are prepared to give as a betrothal gift."

Zheng Yingying nodded happily: "No problem, I will discuss it with Teacher Le when I get home. Teacher Le said that no matter how much my family pays, he will buy me a watch."

A watch costs more than 100 yuan nowadays, which is probably all the money Leconte has saved.

Zheng Meili wanted to say that their family had no shortage of watches, but looking at Zheng Yingying's smiling face, she swallowed her words and urged Zheng Yingying to wash her hands.

Zheng Yingying took the noodles off her hands and put them in the basin, then happily went outside to wash her hands.

Qi Zhijun had already gotten up and was about to wash up. Zheng Yingying flew to Qi Zhijun like a butterfly and said with a smile, "Dad, thank you."

Although she didn't know how Qi Zhijun persuaded her, Zheng Yingying knew that Qi Zhijun had tried his best, otherwise Zheng Meili would not have agreed to her marriage with Le Kangtai after just one sleep.

Qi Zhijun did not take credit for it. Instead, he said to Zheng Yingying: "Your mother is really good to you. You should be filial to her in the future."

"Yeah," Zheng Yingying nodded, "I will be filial to you too."

Qi Zhijun promised Zheng Meili that he would not tell Zheng Yingying about her background, and he would do it.

After the family of three had breakfast, Zheng Yingying remembered something and said to them, "Mom and Dad, I met Sister Mengmeng a few days ago. She asked us to go to her place for dinner this week."

Qi Zhijun and Zheng Meili looked at each other, and Qi Zhijun asked, "Why did Mengmeng suddenly ask us to go there for dinner?"

Zheng Yingying recounted the story of her last encounter with Qi Mengmeng at the state-owned restaurant, and Qi Zhijun nodded. It seemed that Qi Mengmeng wanted to thank Le Kangtai.

Qi Zhijun was even more satisfied with Le Kangtai's behavior of treating Qi Mengmeng to a meal and sending her home, so he decided to give Zheng Yingying more dowry money.

When Zheng Meili heard them admit their relationship in front of Qi Mengmeng, she didn't want to say anything more.

Qi Zhijun had something to do tomorrow, so it was decided that Zheng Meili and Zheng Yingying would go to the city early in the morning, and Qi Zhijun would go there after finishing his work at noon.

Since Zheng Meili has decided to accept Le Kangtai, her mentality has changed. In order to give Le Kangtai a good impression, she specially changed into a set of clothes that is 80% new.

The mother and daughter went to the city early in the morning, first went to the department store to buy canned food and fruits, and then carried them to Qi Mengmeng's house.

Qi Mengmeng got up early in the morning and went to the meat processing factory to buy pork belly and large bones. She came back and stewed the large bones, cut the pork belly into pieces, and took out the vegetables she had bought in advance to prepare for picking.
