Chapter 149: Chatting after the Wedding
"Hey, little cousin Yi Ke, how much money did you collect today?" Zhong Tongxin asked jokingly.
"Eighteen." Although the little cousin was a little embarrassed, the joy of having so much money all of a sudden overflowed from his eyes and could not be hidden.
"Wow! So many!" Liu Baoer stood up from the stool in surprise.
The little cousin could no longer control his excitement. He slapped a washed-out handkerchief on the table and said proudly, "Look! Here is the money I received today."
Liu Baoer took the handkerchief on the table, opened it, and revealed a few brand new banknotes inside. One ten-yuan note, one five-yuan note, and three one-yuan notes.
Liu Baoer said enviously: "My little cousin, you are so rich today. If I had known the groom was so generous, I would have gone to see him off myself."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The boy who escorts the bride to the bride, boy, I mean a boy." Zhong Tongxin gave her daughter a slap on the face.
The little cousin took his handkerchief and money, stroked the money gently and said, "When I stopped the groom for the first time and didn't let him take the bride home, I thought it would be at most fifty cents, maybe only ten cents? Then the aunt gave me one yuan, I was happy, and squeezed it tightly, thinking that the second time would not be less than one yuan, it must be one yuan. Then it was one yuan, I was so happy, I just wanted to walk a few steps quickly so that I could stop him again. The third time would be at least one yuan, and I could earn three yuan today. As a result, when I stopped the bride for the third time, the aunt gave me ten yuan. I looked at the ten yuan bill stupidly, looking at the big 10, I couldn't believe it, thinking that the aunt had taken it by mistake. If the aunt hadn't urged me, I wouldn't dare to take it."
Thinking of the silly look of his little cousin standing at the door, Yike couldn't help but teasing him, "Little cousin, I thought you thought it was too little. It turns out you were shocked by the ten yuan."
"I'm not scared. I'm just afraid that the aunt took the wrong thing." The little cousin retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Well, I'm not scared, I just have too much money to spend." Yike continued to tease.
The little cousin didn't know how to refute, so he pouted his lips and looked unhappy. The aunt patted the little cousin and said, "Put it away quickly, your sister is just joking with you."
The little cousin finally reluctantly packed up the wallet. Yike took out the six yuan she got from the wedding and showed it to the little cousin, saying, "Look, I only have six yuan, much less than you. You are the richest person today, you have made a fortune." The little cousin felt happy again. He nodded to show that he had indeed made a fortune, but he didn't want to make sister Yike sad, so he comforted her, "Don't be sad, sister Yike, my father and mother also only got six yuan. If you don't believe me, ask them to show it to you."
The little cousin hugged his mother's arm and acted coquettishly: "Mom, can you show it to Sister Yike?"
"Okay, okay, stop shaking it. How can I take it if you hold my hand and shake it?" The aunt looked at her son lovingly and took out six yuan and handed it to him.
"Sister Yike, look, my mother also got six yuan." The little cousin held up the six yuan in his hand and showed it to Yike. Yike reached out his hand and touched it, then reached out his hand and touched it again, pretending to have discovered a new world and said, "Wow! This money is so new!" Then he pointed to his own money and said, "Mine is also very new!"
"Really? Let me see mine." The little cousin's attention was indeed diverted.
He opened the handkerchief and found that the money was new. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He said like a grown-up, "It turns out that not only the groom, but also the bride and the money are new."
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed.
"My dear cousin, you are wrong about this. Not all wedding money is new.
"The little cousin tilted his head and thought about it, and it seemed that the wedding money given by the brothers and sisters in the village when they got married was indeed not new. So he blurted out: "My cousin's husband can perform magic and turn old money into new money. My cousin's husband is so amazing. I want my cousin's husband to teach me. ”
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
My little cousin was a little confused and didn't know what everyone was laughing at.
Zhong Tongxin helped him clear up the confusion: "This new money is only available in banks. It's not something your cousin-in-law can create with magic."
"Oh! Then I'll ask my cousin's husband to go to the bank and change it for me." The little cousin said naively.
"What are you dreaming of, you little rascal?" The uncle was irritated by his son's stupidity.
"You think the bank is owned by your cousin's husband? Don't say such things anymore, or you will harm your cousin's husband. The bank is under police surveillance."
The little cousin was so frightened by the word "police" that he shrank his neck. He quickly wrapped the money in a handkerchief and handed it to his mother, asking her to keep it.
My aunt was also afraid that her son would get lost because he was too young, and this was something she couldn’t earn in a year.
"My little cousin, these new coins can be exchanged for old coins." Liu Baoer explained, "But if you don't have any connections, you can't exchange them even if you have old coins."
Zhong Tongxin also said at this time: "Baoer is right, your groom is a capable man. He can deal with banks, this ability is not bad."
After listening to Zhong Tongxin's analysis, the uncle and aunt were relieved that their niece could marry such a capable man.
Uncle and aunt didn't know that Ma Youcai, who they thought was capable, was surrounded by a group of people who were trying to make trouble in the bridal chamber.
Ma Youcai is the groom today, and he finally saw off the last wave of people attending the banquet.
Today's banquet has lasted from noon until now, and he didn't expect that there would be so many people in the village. In fact, what he didn't know was that those who came to drink were not all from his own village, but also people from other neighboring villages.
Those were the first two groups of people who had finished the banquet. After the banquet, some people went to inform their close relatives. These people told their relatives that the banquet was delicious, with each person having at least two or three slices of meat and two corn buns, and the other dishes were also rich in oil. The most important thing is the five-fingered peach bone soup, the soup is all white.
So the relatives of these people would bring one or two dimes as gifts so that they could have a delicious meal. Giving a dime or two can get you some meat, which is quite a bargain. Besides, the groom is lucky to marry such a rich bride, and he might need her help in the future. It would be easier to talk to her if we build a good relationship.
Now that they had found a reason, these people brought their families to have a drink. At this time, no matter which family has a wedding, the whole family will come together to drink.
The relatives who had finished drinking also wanted their relatives to come and eat meat, so they notified their own relatives. As a result, the news spread like wildfire, and members of the neighboring villages all knew about it, and they all came in a swarm. Meat, the members haven’t seen it for a long time. Even if there is no meat, it's good to drink bone soup. The whole family can eat meat for only one or two cents. It's such a good deal. Only a fool would not come.
