90s Little Struggle

However, even if there is a clear distinction, there is still a need to save face.

Wu Julan also specially came over to toast Xiao Er and the others to thank them.

After drinking and eating, Xiao Jianhua drove to Uncle Xiao's house with his eldest brother, sister-in-law, husband, wife and children.

Here Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang led the other guests of the Xiao family to live in the hotel.

She booked a standard room, with two beds in each room, and five rooms.

Going in is the carpet, and there is a white toilet and shower inside.

The bed sheets and quilt covers of the hotel also look very clean and tidy, and there are small tables and stools beside them, which look quite stylish.

Second Master Xiao shook his head when he saw it: "We don't live here, how much does it cost, we just go to the hotel to stay."

They came with a red envelope of 100 yuan, but they were worried that the red envelope they brought would not be enough for the accommodation fee.

He also went out when he was young, and he knew that it was cheaper to live in a hotel.

Others also agreed, thinking that there is no need to live in such a nice place.

Xiao Hong smiled and said, "I've already paid the rent for three days, even if we don't live, they won't refund the money to me?"

Xiao Fang also echoed: "Grandpa, you don't live here, that's a loss."

Hearing that the rent had been paid, Second Master Xiao and the others said that she had spent money indiscriminately, allocated the room neatly, and drove Xiao Hong back.

On the other side, Xiao Jianhua and the others all went to the eldest brother's house.

Now that the weather is neither cold nor hot, Xiao Jianhua is ready to make floor bedding, but Xiao Jianjun said that since his children will not come back to live, they don't need to make floor bedding.

Xiao Jianhua couldn't help asking: "Brother, did Xiao Hong's dowry come from her husband's dowry, or did Wu Julan prepare it for her?"

If this matter is not clear, he feels that he cannot sleep at night.

Of course, he would rather his daughter was smart and took advantage of the bride price from the man, than it was Zhao Laosi who subsidized his daughter.

If it was really given by them, wouldn't it appear that his real father is not as good as his stepfather?

Xiao Jianjun understood what his younger brother was thinking, glared at him, and said angrily: "All electrical appliances are dowry gifts from Yan's family."

Xiao Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "That's good, the one surnamed Zhao didn't give any dowry."

He also looked at it, but the electrical appliances are big, and there should not be many other quilts, dishes and so on.

And his elder brother and sister-in-law also gave a lot, plus his family, the two together must be more than the one surnamed Zhao.

Xiao Jianjun poured cold water on him: "Who said they don't have enough dowry? The real estate certificates in the store over there already have Xiao Hong's name written on them, and they also gave 6000 yuan in the bottom of the box, plus the money they prepared. The dowry is already too thick and cannot be thicker than the dowry."

"What?" Xiao Jianhua looked like he had seen a ghost: "Is he crazy? They must have made a lot of money opening the store, otherwise they would definitely not want to part with such a big money."

In fact, they didn't know that the house itself belonged to Xiao Hong himself, but they just took this opportunity to pass a bright road.

The main reason is that before Xiao Hong got married, if they knew that the store was hers, she was worried that Xiao Jianhua and the others would make up their minds.

Of course she won't let them succeed, but it's troublesome enough to make trouble.

Adhering to the idea that one thing more is worse than one thing less, Xiao Hong simply said that the store belongs to his stepfather.

Now that she is married, she is not afraid that Xiao Jianhua and the others will have any wrong thoughts.

But now, when Xiao Jianhua heard the news, his first reaction was that Zhao Laosi and the others had made a lot of money now.

Xiao Jianjun was about to die of anger from him: "Didn't you say that you also earned a lot of money? Why aren't you being more generous to your daughter?"

Xiao Jianhua quibbled: "Brother, I gave a lot of dowry. When we marry our daughters in the countryside, we only receive a dowry of 5000 yuan. I didn't receive a penny of the dowry. For a dowry of 3000 yuan, I'm not stingy anymore."

"I'm not afraid of embarrassment. Don't look at me. I've made some money now, but I'm still in debt?"

He sold miserably with a bitter face: "And I still want to buy a few more suitable stores, am I short of money now?"

Xiao Jianjun also had nothing to say, just told him: "The Yan family is a big family, you should teach Yuhang to listen to Haodong and the others, and don't embarrass Xiao Hong."

Now that you are married, you eat at the woman's house at noon, and the brother-in-law is going to eat at the man's house for dinner.

It's a pity that until now, Xiao Jianhua hasn't met his in-laws, and he doesn't know who his daughter is going to marry.

Coincidentally, neither Xiao Jianhua nor Liu Meijuan thought about letting their precious son go with the man's house.

Liu Meijuan said with a smile on her face: "Brother, Yuhang is still young and ignorant, and Haodong and his brothers are going too, so why don't you let Yuhang go?"

Xiao Jianhua also echoed: "Yes, we have three stores in our family, and we have a lot of things to do. We will go back after lunch tomorrow."

"And we have to go back and prepare. What about waiting for them to come back?"

He still blamed Xiao Hong in his heart, insisting on going his own way and not listening to persuasion, so it would be enough for them to save face if he could come now, so he wouldn't let his son support his daughter?
Just like that, he felt that he was generous enough.

Xiao Jianjun sighed with a complicated expression: "It's good that you don't regret it in the future."

He admired Xiao Hong, and he was sure that Jianhua would not let Yuhang go to Yan's house.

And Xiao Hong also said a long time ago, let Haodong and Haonan go there to be natal brothers.

He didn't even dare to think how much Jianhua would regret today's decision after he knew the truth.

...

The custom here is that the man invites someone to carry the dowry, prepares a car and lifts the sedan chair, and keeps firecrackers and gongs and drums, commonly known as "distributing dowry".

Even the people who come to distribute the dowry are very particular, they are all "Lishi Nong" who want to have children.

Early in the morning, young people like Xiao Haodong moved the dowry to the door, attracting many neighbors from the neighborhood to watch, and it was also a "dowry display".

Let everyone know that the woman is particular about people and has everything she should have.

The quilts were also stacked high, and the fragile items such as dishes, bowls and lamps were placed in the bright red cage, and the festive atmosphere was created at once.

He also specially asked someone to carry a red cloth bag to grab two handfuls of happy fruits for the neighbors who came to join in the fun.

It was only ten o'clock when six red silk sedans and two pickup trucks arrived.

When Xiao Haodong saw that Yan Hong and the others had come, he hurriedly asked for firecrackers to be set off.

Liu Haibo, Jin Shaocheng, and a dozen other spirited young people came in to greet the bride amidst the lively and festive sound of firecrackers.

When Yan Hong entered the door and saw Wu Julan and the others, he immediately changed his words and shouted with a smile: "Dad, Mom, I'm here to pick up Xiao Hong."

Both Zhao Laosi and Wu Julan responded with a smile, and both took out two red envelopes and handed them to him: "You should live a good life in the future."

Especially Zhao Laosi, that was really heartfelt happiness, why does the son-in-law call him dad?
That means Xiao Hong is closer to them.
