90s Little Struggle

Chapter 340
Xiao Hong looked at the dowry displayed upstairs and downstairs, and realized that it is really not easy to marry. There are big gold and silver jewelry, bedding, small peanuts dyed red, tea, tobacco and wine, and wedding candy. of.

You need to make up eight of them, as well as wedding candy, red dates, dried lychees, peanuts, longan and dried lotus seeds, which have good meanings and are indispensable.

Dowry such as quilts, bowls, plates and tea cups must be in pairs, and they must also be hung with red and colorful colors, and some evergreen and cypress branches.

Thanks to last year, the traditional furniture dowry is no longer popular in the provincial capital.

The current furniture is directly asked the carpenter to go back to make it, and the wardrobe and desk have already been done.

And relatives and friends also send gifts to congratulate each other one after another, which is adding makeup and "giving marriage".

Like Jin Shaocheng and Liu Haibo, they all gave red envelopes.

And they all included a big red envelope of 6000 yuan.

But Xiao Hong couldn't get excited when she thought that they were not married yet, and when they got married, she would have to return the red envelopes.

There were a lot of people coming back, so she arranged for the Zhao family to live in the old house. Zhao's grandparents lived on the third floor here, and Wu Julan and his wife lived in the guest room on the second floor, so they could accommodate them.

As for the relatives from the Xiao family, please invite them to stay in a hotel close to home.

Xiao Hong didn't want her parents and stepmother to come, but unfortunately, at four o'clock in the afternoon, three vans and a truck came back, not only her aunt and uncle, but also the second grandpa, grandma, and second aunt with their children.

The youngest daughter-in-law of the third grandma's family also accompanied the third grandma, and the fourth grandma was accompanied by her youngest son and his wife.

They all felt that the journey was too far and it was inconvenient to carry things, so they all gave red envelopes.

Xiao Jianhua and his wife also came with their children.

After Xiao Jianhua was scolded by his elder brother, he could only grit his teeth and prepare a dowry of 3000 yuan.

Quilts, cloth tents, dishes, bowls and lamps are also loaded into a truck, and there are quite a lot of them.

The truck was bought by Xiao Jianhua before, but it has no carriage, but this kind of truck can hold more things than the truck with carriage.

They thought they had prepared quite a lot, but when they carried them through the door and saw the various quilts and electrical appliances prepared inside, the smiles on their faces froze.

When Wu Julan saw them coming, she didn't want to entertain them, but she didn't want to let her two daughters be criticized for this matter.

So she whispered to the Xiao sisters: "Anyway, tomorrow is Xiao Hong's big day, they are here, Xiao Fang, you should pay more attention to them, and don't make troubles over small things."

Xiao Hong's good life, she doesn't want to be affected by them.

Xiao Hong responded, and went up to greet them one by one with a smile, then solemnly thanked them for coming, and then invited everyone to sit down, drink tea and eat melons and fruits: "Dinner will be eaten soon, and we will not serve snacks. "

Xiao Fang also followed her sister to call someone, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to Xiao Jianhua, took a peach and started to chew.

Grandpa Xiao Er is not young, but his body is in good shape. After observing the spacious store, he expressed emotion: "As expected of a provincial capital, even the streets are wider than our countryside, and there are so many cars passing by. It's really grand. .”

"That's right, thanks to Xiao Hong's thoughtfulness, she even let the car pick us up." Grandma Xiao San was also very excited: "I never thought that the furthest I've ever been to the city when I was young, and I can come to the provincial capital when I'm old turn around."

Fourth Grandma Xiao also echoed: "Are we in favor of Xiao Hong?"

In fact, those of them who were older were not prepared to come, because it was too far away, and they had to change cars, fearing that they would get lost.

But I didn't expect that Xiao Haodong would pick them up in a van, and said that he would pick them up and send them off.

Only then did their hearts start to move. After all, they were all so old. If they missed this opportunity, they might never have the chance to come to the provincial capital in the future.

Moreover, Xiao Hong has paid New Year's greetings to them every year in the past few years, and has also eaten a lot of their New Year's goods. They feel that they still have to come to support her.

Xiao Hong said sweetly: "It's my grandparents who love me so much that they come all the way to see me out. It's really hard for my grandparents."

"Let's go to rest after dinner, and let my second brother and Xiao Fang accompany everyone out for a stroll later."

Xiao Hong is really grateful that they came to marry at such an old age. Of course, he wanted them to stay for two more days and have fun, so as not to blame them for their hard work in the provincial capital.

Xiao Jianhua doesn't want to live here, he still thinks that this store belongs to Mr. Zhao, anyway, he feels uncomfortable after entering.

Therefore, he thought that Xiao Hong arranged for them to live here, and immediately said: "There is no need to prepare our room, I will live at your uncle's house, anyway, it is very convenient for me to drive here."

Xiao Hong didn't want them to stay at first, stay away, everyone is at ease, so she responded with a smile: "That's good, I can talk to uncle."

Liu Meijuan couldn't help but looked around the dowry, and asked in a low voice, "Are all the electrical appliances a bride price from the man? And those dowries, you also spent a lot of money, right? Did you buy them with the bride price from the man?"

She is also well-informed now, and at a cursory glance, she estimates that Xiao Hong's dowry is worth more than 2 yuan.

Because the cost of optoelectronics is more than 1, and there are so many dowries.

At this moment, she was really shocked. Could it be that getting married in the provincial capital is already so extravagant?
She prefers to believe that it is Xiao Hong who has a lot of heart, and that Xiao Hong has taken a lot of gifts and bought a generous dowry for herself.

However, it was better than she heard that Wu Julan and the others bought these for their daughter.

Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that they are not as generous as Wu Julan and the others?
She didn't want to be overwhelmed by Wu Julan and the others.

"Electrical appliances are of course dowry gifts." She sent them to her door to find abuse. Of course Xiao Hong was not polite: "But everything else was prepared for me by my mother."

She didn't specifically mention that her aunt had prepared a generous dowry for herself, because she was afraid that when Lou Fenfang got married, her aunt's package would be too little, and Liu Meijuan would bring it up.

If this matter is stated clearly, it will affect their brotherhood.

Liu Meijuan forced a smile: "Then your mother really bothered."

Xiao Jianhua's face was even more sullen, feeling that he was being compared by Zhao Laosi.

He couldn't help but glared at his wife, annoyed that she would embarrass them by bringing up this topic, so he could only ask, "Have they been here, your uncle?"

Liu Meijuan also asked: "What did your uncle give you?"

She also wanted to know what her elder brother and sister-in-law had prepared for Xiao Hong, so she would know it well in the future.

Xiao Hong said vaguely: "I just gave you a quilt or something."

After speaking, he got up and went to the kitchen: "I'll go and see if the food is ready?"

The store is closed today and tomorrow, but the employees are still not on holiday, helping to cook and boil water.

For dinner, each table has ten dishes, six meat, three vegetables and one soup.

Fortunately, the store has a large space, and the two families occupy each side, which feels like the well water does not interfere with the river water.
