break out of the ice

Chapter 89
When I saw them today, I felt that the old couple of the Liu family were not only not bad, but also very nice. They were warm and sincere to people, and they were very similar to them. No wonder they could raise such a sensible and generous daughter as Qinqin.

Father Shi did the first thing at the dinner table, and verbally made a marriage contract between the two.

What is going on now is the second thing-the bride price.

Not only in Shijiawan, but in the entire civil city, there is a rule of asking for bride price, especially in a rural area like Shijiawan, if any girl receives less bride price before getting married, she will be laughed at by the villagers.

There are also some families who feel that the daughter-in-law did not ask for a bride price because the daughter-in-law has a good temper, so they deliberately give it to others.

Shi's father and Shi's mother like Liu Qinqin, and they don't want Liu Qinqin to be gossiped by others, and they don't want her to be wronged, so they want to do all the courtesy others have.

But they also inquired, and said that nowadays people in the city are in love freely, and they don't pay attention to bride price, dowry and so on.

That's why Father Shi didn't dare to say at the dinner table just now, he was afraid that Liu Qinqin and Shi Jingqi would be dissatisfied in the past, and if they refused directly, things would be difficult to handle, so when Father Liu asked him to live in Liu's house, he did it. Choose to live.

When Father Liu and Mother Liu heard about Father Shi talking about the bride price, they waved their hands again and again.

Father Liu was older than Father Shi, and said, "Brother, dowry gifts are not practiced in the city now. Even when we discussed the marriage between Guodong and Hongmei with the Lu family years ago, the Lu family did not specifically ask for dowry gifts. No matter how much it is, it’s all about meaning.”

Father Shi patted Father Liu's hand: "Brother, you also said what you mean, Qinqin, my mother and I both like it, thinking about all the etiquette, aren't we also discussing Jingqi and Qinqin?" Marriage, it has to be discussed, you can't just refuse."

Liu's father and Liu's mother looked at each other, and Shi's mother said, "Do you think this is okay? 600 yuan seems to be the same amount in our area. I will use this money as a dowry for Qinqin later. A young couple."

Father Shi calculated Shi Jingqi's salary in his mind. Since Shi Jingqi became a minister, his salary has increased by another level, plus the usual bonus and overtime pay. After spending every month, he can still save 200 yuan .

They don't spend any money in Shijiawan, and the grain collected in the fields can occasionally be sold for some money. When the Spring Festival comes, the money saved will be used to cover the general expenses of the wedding.

"Brother, sister-in-law, would you like a thousand and one yuan? This means that Qinqin is a good daughter-in-law of our old Shi family." Father Shi asked.

"Is it too much?" Mother Liu asked.

She understands her daughter's heart, so she is very happy that her daughter can be with Shi Jingqi and come to the point where they are talking about marriage.

But if it's not good because of the bride price, she would rather reject it for her daughter.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I've calculated everything, and the money is enough. In fact, Qinqin is the best daughter-in-law of our Shi family, but I don't have that much money, so I didn't say anything." Father Shi said with a smile.

Seeing what he said, Liu's father and Liu's mother didn't say anything anymore, and they decided on the amount of the bride price, and then began to discuss other matters.

At this time, Liu Qinqin, the daughter-in-law of the old Shi family's one in a million, has accompanied the son of the old Shi family into the refrigerator factory.

As soon as he entered the factory, he heard Wen Xuefeng calling Shi Jingqi from afar.

It wasn't until he got closer that he realized that Yan Weidong had been looking for him for more than half an hour, and he had an emergency meeting with him. If he didn't go back, he might have to ask Xiao Hei to drive a car to Liu's house to find someone.

It was important to have a meeting, so Liu Qinqin went back to the dormitory by herself, while Shi Jingqi went to the office building.

In the office building, the lights in Yan Weidong's office were still on, and Li Guangming and Gao Tuanjie were there.

The window was open, and the outside wind blew in, blowing away a lot of the smell of smoke in the house.

Shi Jingqi knocked on the door, and walked in after getting Yan Weidong's answer. Shi Jingqi pushed the door, opened it, and blew away the smell of smoke in the house.

Even so, Shi Jingqi felt that the smell in the room was too choking.

Seeing Shi Jingqi coming, Yan Weidong opened his mouth and said, "Our city recommends us to participate in the home exhibition held in Zhengzhou. Let's discuss how to participate."

"Home Exhibition?" Shi Jingqi couldn't remember the three words.

Several people have discussed it just now, Gao Tuan heard and explained: "It's the furniture fair."

"But our refrigerator is a home appliance, right?" Shi Jingqi asked.

"Household appliances are also a part of household tools, and they can actually be sidelined with home exhibitions." Gao Tuanjie said.

In fact, this is not the first time to hold an exhibition in Zhengzhou. The reason why Lengdie Refrigerator has not thought about the exhibition is also because of this concept, thinking that furniture is furniture and home appliances are home appliances.

Naturally, furniture fairs have nothing to do with home appliances.

Yan Weidong coughed and said, "Since the city recommended us to participate, we can participate. Let's discuss how to participate in the exhibition."

"It must be that we have brought our current products, one-door refrigerators, two-door refrigerators, and chest freezers, to the exhibition." Li Guangming said.

"General booths have area requirements. I don't know how big the area is." Shi Jingqi asked.

When he was in Fudan, there were many exhibitions and exhibitions held near Fudan. He had visited the airport and knew the general feeling.

"Don't worry about this. I think that because it's an exhibition, the booths for each company must be big. If it's small, the furniture won't fit. Those refrigerators, beds, and sofas are all bigger than our refrigerators." Gao Unity said.

What he said made sense, and everyone nodded, no longer discussing the issue of booths, but returning to the original question of what to sell.

Yan Weidong thought for a while, and felt that he should say it himself, so he said to Shi Jingqi: "If we can display new products at the exhibition, it will probably attract more attention."

New product?Want to develop?
"How long until the fair starts? How much time do we have?" Shi Jingqi asked.

I am not afraid of developing new products, but I am afraid that the time will be too late.

"Probably around Labor Day, there is still more than a month to go." Yan Weidong said.

He only made a request to Shi Jingqi, and it would be good if he could do it, and he wouldn't blame Shi Jingqi if he couldn't.

According to the current products of Lengdie Refrigerator Factory, they also have confidence in the exhibition.

The Big Three in the factory watched, Shi Jingqi counted the time, and could only grit his teeth and say, "We will do our best."

In fact, there is no concept of new products in his mind at all.

It is almost impossible to develop a product that can participate in the exhibition in more than a month.

Shi Jingqi didn't know the bottom line, but since he arrived at Lengdie Refrigerator Factory, everything went so smoothly, and these smooth things made him feel eager to try.
