A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 514
Seeing everyone's reaction, the old Taoist knew that he could retire with success.

After making a bow with Fan's couple, he found Xiaofang with the two horoscopes in his hand, and inquired which master's handwriting it was.

Xiaofang was still busy presiding over the ceremony, so she followed Mother Fan's lead and asked a relative next to her to take Master Mingzhang to Lao Guo's house to find her elder brother.

Then came the fourth link: "Nailing."

That is, the man sends the bride price to the woman, which is what we often call the bride price now.

The second child and Xiao Weizi who were originally in the living room did not know when they appeared at the gate.

The beating of gongs and drums sounded again.

The two took the lead and carried a large mahogany box into the living room on a pole.

"As a betrothal gift for the man, please carry the cake."

"The man's betrothal gift, please carry the blessing cake."

"The man's betrothal gift, the seafood is carried."

"The man's betrothal gift, three animals and two carries."

"Whoa, cluck, cluck"

Seeing the two roosters and the two hens in the box looking at everyone in horror, all the neighbors, relatives and friends were stunned.

What is this!
Guo Xiaojiang is the richest man in the world!

Everyone is still thinking about feasting their eyes, thinking about at least two or three boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and then a few boxes of hundred-dollar bills.

Before carrying the three animals halfway, maybe they were not tied securely, a big rooster jumped out with flapping wings, seeing the panicked big rooster spreading around, a group of little dolls suddenly excitedly chased the big cock run.

"Catch the big cock"

"Catch Gigi"

"Under the table."

"Ha got caught by me."

After a while of flying around, the big cock finally returned.

"Huh~~" While Fan's father and Fan's mother breathed a sigh of relief, they both couldn't laugh or cry.

Then more than a dozen were carried over, not tea, but sesame, mung beans, soybeans, red beans
"Why are they all ignorant of money? The Guo family is too stingy, isn't it the richest man?!"

"In the past [-] years, the most valuable one, I think, is that box of dried seafood."

"The richer you get, the more stingy you get, and the poorer you get, the more generous you get.

Old Liu Tou's family is poor, and he can't even bear to turn on the lights.When his eldest son got married, he even sent a motorcycle to the woman's house. "

"."

Listening to the whispers of the people around, Fan's father and Fan's mother are still smiling.

When she saw the dowry list at today's ceremony last month, Mother Fan originally wanted to put some gold and silver jewelry in it. It was a bit too shabby, and she would definitely be criticized, but Wang Lidong vetoed it.

Everyone knew what was going on with the two of them, and when they put out so many gold and silver banknotes, except for a few exclamations, the rest was full of jealousy and hatred.

Moreover, Wang Lidong is now the richest man in the world, his every move will be watched by others, and it is inevitable that someone will follow suit.
In the past two years, the betrothal gifts from all over the world have not been cheap.

Generally, there are four major items: "refrigerator, color TV, air conditioner, washing machine", plus 888 yuan or 999 yuan in cash, the sum of the two is about seven or eight thousand.

That is, according to the average salary in the capital, a worker can save money to marry a wife if he does not eat or drink for a year.

But in other provinces, the salary is not so high, but the bride price will not be much cheaper.

If it is raised higher, marrying a daughter-in-law in many places may really make the whole family sell their iron.
"Rong Rong, what's the matter with your old Guo, this dowry is too shabby." Fan Rong's best friend from high school looked at her friend's belly and said angrily, "Is it because you have a big belly, so I will eat you."

Fan Rong looked at all kinds of dim sum and snacks, and felt a little hungry, thinking about waiting for the ceremony to end
"No, these are just a formality, and the dowry has already been sent."

"Let me tell you, the two of you have such a good relationship. Although Lao Guo is a bit picky, it's not so shabby."

"Tell me, what dowry gifts did Lao Guo send?"

"I just gave away a few houses."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"The gold ring and bracelet, there must be one, why didn't I see you wearing it." Only then did the female students realize that Fan Rong's hands were clean.

"That's right, isn't it the most popular diamond ring now, Rongrong, Lao Guo didn't give it to you?"

Fan Rong said:
"There is a gift, but you know, I can't wear it when I go to work."

It took about half an hour and dozens of dowry gifts were over.

The people who eat melons are very disappointed. The farther to the back, the cheaper it is. The last thing they loaded inside turned out to be glutinous rice flour and some black crisps.

Is this going to treat them to glutinous rice balls today?

Then came the last link of the day: "Application date."

Also known as the notice period, commonly known as choosing a date, the man's family sends someone to the woman's house to inform the date of marriage.

After the courtyard became quiet, a little girl holding a mahogany box jumped up and down in front of the fat aunt.

The matchmaker fat aunt rubbed her granddaughter's little head, opened the mahogany worship box, took out a piece of red paper, looked at the gold letters on it, and announced loudly: "The wedding date is March 1998, 3 AD, in the lunar year of Wuyin and Jiayin month. Ding Weiri, the marriage is matched, the white head is a covenant, a lifelong alliance, and a good relationship is formed!"

When the ceremony at the Fan's side was over, Wang Lidong was also sending out gifts from two annoying old men.

If you want to eat and occupy his works for free, there is no such good thing.

Fan's mother's second uncle went out angrily, and he was going to sue his niece.

The old Taoist still had a smile on his face, and politely invited Wang Lidong to visit his Taoist temple.

Why don't you just exchange Taoist exercises and classics, so happy.

That way you don't have to owe favors.

The favor of the richest man is not so easy to owe.

More than half a month had passed since the ceremony, and he was reading the report at the company that day when he suddenly received a call from his father asking him to go to the inpatient department of the hospital immediately.

"Dad, who is in the hospital?"

Father Guo said, "Your mother."

Wang Lidong asked: "Mom? Isn't she in good health this morning, what's wrong?"

Father Guo said impatiently: "You will know when you arrive, 309 in the inpatient department."

And then 'beep beep' in the handset

(*￣(エ)￣)
Live so vigorously.
After Wang Lidong hurriedly explained the work to the secretary, he drove to the hospital.

I made two phone calls on the way, and the second and fourth children were on their way to the hospital. As for the reason for my mother's illness, I was at a loss.

When I arrived at the entrance of the inpatient department, I happened to meet the fourth child, who was still wearing a mandarin jacket.

"Big brother."

"Fourth."

Neither of them was in the mood to talk, they went up to the third floor, found Ward 309, opened the door and entered.

Guo's father was sitting on the chair beside the hospital bed with a dark face, and the second child was standing at the head of the bed, talking to Guo's mother in a low voice.

The third child was kneeling in front of the hospital bed with his head bowed.

"dad."

Wang Lidong looked at the old woman who got off the hospital bed, her face was a little pale, but she was in good spirits.

"Mom, I've seen a doctor, what do you say?"

"It's an old problem, hypoglycemia, it's nothing serious, your dad insisted on taking me to the hospital."

Father Guo said angrily:

"At this time, you are still protecting this bastard. This time the fortune-telling is big, it's no big deal."

"Old man, what nonsense you say has nothing to do with the third child."

Mother Guo hurriedly said to her elder son:

"Boss, quickly persuade your father."

Now in this situation, the words of the boss can be used.

Knowing that there is nothing wrong with my old lady, Wang Lidong curiously said to his father:
"Dad, this is the third child"

Only then did he realize that the third child's face was a little swollen, and there were faint palm marks.

The dark-faced Father Guo waved his hand and said:
"Several of you go out and talk, the second child knows everything."

"Understood, Dad."

As soon as the three of them left the ward, the second child couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scandal his mother had told him about the third child just now:

"Big Brother, Fourth Brother, you would never have imagined what this guy, Third Brother, has done."

The fourth child asked curiously:
"What did the third brother do?"

The second child reached into his coat pocket, grabbed some lollipops, and shared one with each of them.

Wang Lidong was a little speechless, since this guy quit smoking, he has this kind of child food in his mouth all day long.

"This morning, the third child and a girl were caught by a group of red sleeve bands in Xingtan Park, and they were sent to the police station.

At noon, the Xingtan Police Station called home.

Dad went to take the third child back home, and when mom found out what happened, she fainted from anger."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the one who fought fiercely with the third child was also divorced. Tsk tsk, the third child is too hungry."

"Ah~! The third brother is in the middle of the day." The fourth child only felt a little ruined.

Ever since he was a child, Guo Xiaoyang has been called "other people's child" by his neighbors, why is this job so unrestrained
(*￣rǒ￣)
"No wonder Dad is so angry."

Wang Lidong couldn't help but "tsk tsk", it was quite fun to play!

In fact, in this day and age, at night, there are quite a few cases like this, but they are all young couples with certificates.

If you caught him, you would teach him a few words, and then let him go.

Mainly in this era, especially in big cities, the living conditions of many families are extremely poor.

There are seven or eight people in a family, and they are crowded in a room of about ten square meters, and there are not a few of them.

If you don't know, you can watch the TV series "Poor Zhang Damin". There are eight people in a family, and there are only two small rooms, about ten square meters.

Both brothers married wives, but the space was limited, so they could only sleep on one big bed, separated by a curtain in the middle.

At night, it really not only has sound effects, but also vibration
So many young couples, in the middle of the night, take their equipment and go to the park or a small corner
But the third child rented a small yard with a single family.

The fourth child licked two lollipops, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Big Brother and Second Brother, the two of you haven't come back recently, so there's something you probably don't know."

The second child asked curiously:
"what's up?"

He has spent more than half of his time in Hong Kong. On the one hand, he is exploring foreign markets, and on the other hand, he spends a lot of money with his wife.

Wang Lidong is also a little curious, he is currently living in the old man's house.

Fan Rong's pregnancy reaction is a bit severe recently, and he vomits whatever he eats, so he has to help recuperate every night.

The fourth child glanced at the ward and whispered:
"I heard that the third brother is currently working as a boatman.

In my hometown, the third brother has developed hundreds of people, and more than a dozen have resigned from our group.

Recently, there are calls from my hometown every day at home.

My parents quarreled with my third brother last week because of this matter, and my third brother didn't come home this week. "

The second child 'hehe' laughed twice:
"The third child actually plays with this thing, he must be crazy about money."

Wang Lidong said:

"It reminded me of that.

Tomorrow, I will send a message to the whole company, prohibiting our company's employees from participating in this kind of activities, and will not tolerate one by one if they are found to be fired. "

The second child agreed:
"That's the way it should be done. Once you touch this thing, people will become dazed, and they will no longer focus on work. All they think about is dragging someone into the water."

Wang Lidong checked the time, it was already four o'clock,
"Let's go in and ask what the doctor said. If my mother wants to stay for a few days, make arrangements."

As soon as he opened the door, Wang Lidong saw his father beating the third child again.

"clap clap"

"I beat you to death, bastard, I didn't do it for your own good.

After so many years of hard work, I finally became an organization cadre.If you don't argue with that girl immediately, you will definitely be fired. "

"Old man, don't fight, just talk if you have something to say."

Mother Guo said to her third son:

"Third brother, promise your dad quickly. Let's go to Huang's to propose marriage tonight, and we will tear up the certificate tomorrow, so your job will definitely be kept."

The third child poked his neck and said:
"I don't want to do the work of organizing for a long time. If it is gone, it will be gone. I will definitely not marry Huang Chunni. Dad, even if you kill me, I will not marry her!"

What is his identity, unless he is crazy.And I always feel that being arrested this morning may be a trick set by this woman to force him to argue with her. Maybe the Huang family is waiting for him to come to the door now.

"Okay, your wings are stiff. Nothing I said will work anymore." Father Guo laughed back angrily, pointed at the third child and said:
"If you lose your organizational work, I won't recognize you as a son, and you will never come in again at the door of the Guo family."

Guo Xiaoyang suddenly kowtowed three times to Mother Guo:
"Mom, it's my son who is unfilial. Don't be angry anymore, take care of yourself."
