Chapter 325

Zhu Minjie, Zhu Tingting didn't say anything, went to the kitchen to see his sister who had just returned home, said hello, and sat in the living room and questioned Wang Zhonglai. The questions were nothing more than his hometown, education, work, income, assets and so on.

At first, I had some expectations when I heard Wang Zhong say that the university was Fudan University, but when Wang Zhong said that he had no house or car, and only rented a house, and when the company was not an executive, and his income was only at an ordinary level, he immediately felt a little bit of hope. I'm not interested anymore.

Knowing that the eldest daughter was going to bring her boyfriend back, the old couple killed the chicken early, and Zhu's father rode a motorcycle to the market early in the morning to buy his eldest daughter's favorite beef and came back.

I made a pork belly chicken, a beef hot pot, two seasonal vegetables, a local specialty, pickled sour wild onion soup, and the wild bees that Zhu's father and others went to the mountain to cook, the dark-colored adult wild bees The bees and the white, tender, round young bees were taken out of the hive, and they were fried together with minced chili and garlic. If it wasn't Wang Zhong, but an ordinary person from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who came here at random, I'm afraid they might not dare to eat.

Wang Zhong drank the medicinal wine that Zhu's father opened, ate dry-fried wild bee, and drank one cup after another with Zhu's father. As he talked, he talked about Zhu Zhe and Wang Zhong's marriage.

What Father Zhu meant was that he wanted his eldest daughter to get married early. After all, Zhu Zhe’s age was right there. Although my mother hasn't read too many books, she knows more about the basics of life than young people.

"As long as Zhu Zhe is willing, it's not a problem to get married on the same day as Tingting!" Wang Zhong uttered nonsense while taking advantage of his drunkenness.

When Zhu's father heard this, his drunkenness faded instantly, and he was mostly sober. He looked at Wang Zhong with a serious face: "Xiao Wang, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true!" Wang Zhong said: "When we serve wine here in our hometown, the gift money we receive should be regarded as my filial piety to you old couple by Zhu Zhe."

"What about the banquet money?" Mother Zhu asked excitedly.

"I will pay for the banquet!" Wang Zhong said very proudly.

"What about the betrothal gift?" It was Zhu Tingting who asked.

"Whatever the second brother-in-law pays for the bride price, I will double it!" Wang Zhong was still proud.

It's just that as soon as these words came out, no matter whether it was Zhu's father, Zhu's mother, or Zhu Tingting, their expressions changed instantly.

But Wang Zhong was wrong, looked at Father Zhu and said, "Uncle, Auntie, I know you care about Zhu Zhe and understand that we have a difficult life in Shanghai, but you are Zhu Zhe's parents, and I lived with Zhu Zhe It is difficult to get it, but you are old, you have to have money around you, these gift money and dowry money, even if Zhu Zhe and I honor you..."

Seeing that Wang Zhongyue said more and more deviations, Zhu's old face was a little uncomfortable, but Zhu's mother squeezed out a smile and wanted to explain: "Xiao Wang, that's the thing, our Tingting and her boyfriend are in free love, and we don't care about it." Considering that the two of them are young, they don't have much money in their hands, and they have a lot of places to spend money when they get married, so they don't care about the bride price from the man's family."

"Auntie, uncle!" Wang Zhong was immediately moved, with tears in his eyes, and his tone became a little choked up: "I knew that someone who could teach such a sensible girl as Zhu Zhe , must be very sensible."

As he spoke, Wang Zhong immediately picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a whole glass (disposable cup), and said to Father Zhu, "Uncle, Auntie, I respect you for this glass of wine!" Gulu swallowed it all in a few mouthfuls.

These days, it is rare for a family to marry a daughter without a bride price, especially for an ordinary family in a remote rural area like the Zhu family.

"Xiao Wang, please slow down, don't worry!" This is a whole glass of medicinal wine. Zhu's father and Wang Zhong have just exchanged cups. As Lao Tie, Zhu's father naturally knows the degree of this wine, not fifty or sixty, but more than 40 Absolutely.

"Uncle, it's all right!" Wang Zhong's internal energy circulated, his face quickly became flushed, and his eyes became blurred: "I am so happy today. After so many years, except for the day Zhu Zhe promised to be my girlfriend, I'm the happiest today!"

"Xiao Wang, your uncle and I..." Mother Zhu wanted to explain something else.

But Wang Zhong didn't give her a chance at all: "Auntie, don't worry, I know the painstaking efforts of you and uncle, you can take care of Tingting like this, think about her future, and definitely think about Zhu Zhe, but please don't worry, Although you are not willing to ask for a bride price, the gift money that I and I collected from the banquet will still be given to you and uncle."

"Auntie, you and your uncle are so considerate of me, so I can't help but express it. In the past, Zhu Zhe gave you and your uncle 1000 yuan for living expenses every month. After Zhu Zhe and I get married, I will add another 2000 yuan. Zhu Zhe and I will give you a total of [-] yuan in living expenses."

"Xiao Wang, I'm not..."

"Auntie, don't worry, although 1000 yuan is a lot, it's not too much. With my current income, I can still get it out. The big deal is that Zhu Zhe and I save money on food and expenses. Zhu Zhe and I are still young. It’s nothing to suffer a little... um..."

While talking, Wang Zhong hiccupped, and his eyes gradually blurred.

Before he finished speaking, he almost fell over, but fortunately Father Zhu and Zhu Zhe were quick to support him.

Seeing that Wang Zhong was so drunk, Mother Zhu's remaining words were naturally speechless.

Zhu Zhe and Zhu's father hurriedly helped Wang Zhong to settle in the guest room on the first floor for the time being. Zhu's mother sent a new towel that had just been washed and wrung out, making Zhu Zhe's gang keep yelling that I am not drunk, I can still drink Wang Zhong wiped it, and the few people returned to the dining table.

"Azhe, have you and Xiao Wang really decided to get married?" Mother Zhu asked.

Zhu Zhe nodded and said, "I do have plans to get married. After all, I'm already 32. It's hard to meet a suitable one."

"That's right!" Zhu's mother sighed helplessly, the eldest daughter's age is indeed a flaw.

"Actually, I think Xiao Wang is quite nice, and he is a real person." Father Zhu, looking in the direction of the guest room, said something fair.

"You can see it after just meeting?" Zhu's mother said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"I believe in Ah Zhe's vision!" Father Zhu said.

"Dad, Mom!" Before Zhu Zhe said anything, Zhu Minjie quit: "You don't really plan to ask for a bride price, do you?"

"Xiaojie, what do you mean?" Zhu Zhe frowned and looked at Zhu Minjie: "Your second sister got married, didn't you care that the man asked for a bride price?"

Zhu Tingting immediately became unhappy: "Sister, what are you talking about, what are you doing with me?"

Zhu Zhe said: "We are all a family, brothers and sisters whose bones are broken and tendons are still connected, why can't it be related to you?"

"I'm in free love!" Zhu Tingting became more and more unhappy, and looked at her parents and siblings with vigilance: "Besides, both parents agree! The wedding date has been set, do you want to go back on your word?"

Knowing Zhu Tingting's virtues, Zhu Zhe didn't mean to make himself unhappy, but looked at his parents: "Dad, Mom, you all know my qualifications, no matter in terms of education or age, I am not as good as my second sister. It’s not easy to find a suitable boyfriend. There are a lot of young girls in Shanghai who are younger and more beautiful than me, with higher education than me, higher income than me, and better family conditions than me. Although Wang Zhong treats me well, But he doesn't want me."

Zhu's father and mistress suddenly shuddered, what Zhu Zhe said was indeed reasonable.

"Xiaojie, Tingting! Why did you talk to your eldest sister!" Zhu's father suddenly put on a straight face: "Don't forget, your senior sister gave you the money to go to high school and college!"

"Dad!" Zhu Minjie was not happy anymore.

Zhu Tingting even said: "She is the eldest sister, she is older than us, shouldn't it be us, what do you mean by that?"

"Bastard!" Zhu's father was a little angry: "What should I mean? Even if your eldest sister is your schoolmate, you should, but you can't help but miss your eldest sister! She went out to work when she was 16 years old, and went to a hotel as a waiter. People sweep the floor and clean the table, wash the toilet, and clean the toilet. They have worked so hard for so many years to earn money for you to go to school, and part of the monthly living expenses for the two of you while you are studying is also given by your eldest sister!"

"Even if she is your eldest sister, you still have to miss her and remember her kindness."

"Dad! Could it be that you are planning to sell me to repay her favor?" Zhu Tingting didn't hear a word.

Zhu Tingting used this sentence to persuade Zhu's father and mother not to accept the bride price.

In fact, the dowry itself is a good intention. It is to show the strength of the man's family and reassure the woman's parents that the woman will not suffer after marriage. dowry.

It's just that with the passage of time, the custom of dowry is still there, but most of the dowry that the woman should give is selectively forgotten.

Zhu's father and Zhu's mother were relatively open-minded parents. Knowing that they couldn't afford too much dowry, coupled with their love for their youngest daughter, they simply didn't care about the man's dowry.

But the attitude of the second daughter really makes people feel pain when looking at her heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney.

"You..." Father Zhu's eyes widened, and he was annoyed by Zhu Tingting's words.

"His father!" The mistress hurriedly grabbed Father Zhu's arm with one hand, smoothed his breath with the other hand, turned her head and glared at Zhu Tingting: "Tingting, why are you talking to your father!"

"That's what I said, what's the matter? You have always been so biased, partial to Zhu Minjie, partial to the eldest sister! Why don't you know how to feel sorry for me! Could it be that they are all biological, and I picked them up?"

Zhu Tingting also seemed to have been wronged so much, her voice became louder and her aura became stronger and stronger, tears were even rolling in her eyes, as soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and ran upstairs, and entered her room,' There was a loud bang, and the door was slammed down hard.

Zhu's father's eyes widened, Zhu Zhe and Zhu's mother helped Zhu's father to sit down, and hurriedly poured a glass of water for Zhu, who was relieved a little, to drink.

"Dad, Mom! Look at the second sister. What she said is like our whole family bullying her. I haven't settled with her for messing up my girlfriend last time. Now I'm In this way, does she want our whole family to revolve around her alone?" Zhu Minjie also said angrily.

Both Zhu's father and mistress didn't know how to answer Zhu Minjie.

Zhu Zhe said: "Xiaojie, since we broke up, forget it. You are still young, so don't focus on your girlfriend and marriage. I have experienced it. If you can find a good job, you can make a career out of it." , what kind of good woman can't be found, if you really like your girlfriend, do a career and let her take a good look at it, when it really comes to that time, you don't need to find her, she will catch up on her own Came back to find you."

"Sister, what you said is easy, but it's not so easy to find a good job, and you have done a lot of work!" Zhu Minjie said with some eccentricity.

"Why is it hard to find, as long as you work hard, you can always find it, and you are our second college student with a bachelor's degree. Your eldest sister and I are only vocational high school."

"Xiaojie, your elder sister is right, you are a college student..." Zhu's mother was about to say a few words, but Zhu Minjie ruthlessly interrupted: "Mom, what do you know!"

"Xiaojie, if you don't want to find a job, you can take the civil servant test, the public institution test, or the teacher test. You are so smart that you can even pass the college entrance examination. The civil servant test must not be difficult for you.

If you really pass the exam, do you still worry about not being able to find a girlfriend? "

Zhu Zhe's words immediately brightened the eyes of Zhu's father and mistress: "Yes, Xiaojie, if you can't find a suitable job, we can take the civil servant exam. That's a solid job. If you pass the exam, you will be a public servant." I’m old enough to get paid just by sitting in the office with the air conditioner blowing on every day, and I don’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life, and it’s easy to find a girlfriend.”

In the eyes of the generation of Zhu's father and mother, civil servants and public institutions who hold state jobs and receive wages are holding iron jobs. People who earn tens of thousands of yuan a month working part-time are powerful and more decent, and they can even be said to be glorious.

"Dad, Mom! What do you know? What's so good about an iron rice bowl? The salary is low. Sitting in an office every day is not free at all..." Zhu Minjie is an adult who thinks he is very mature. Everything has its own judgment, how could it be that Zhu Zhe and his parents can talk about it in a few words.

Zhu Zhe said: "Xiaojie, you don't know that. Although the salary of the iron rice bowl is not high, the benefits are good, such as five insurances and one housing fund. These are all paid according to the highest standards, especially the housing provident fund. , if you buy a house, the interest on the loan will be much lower than normal.”

"A Zhe, are you serious?" Zhu's father and mother said with a look of surprise.

"Of course it's true!" Zhu Zhe said, "These are all things we can find out."

"Furthermore, the annual and festive bonuses and performance of the iron rice bowl are no less than the salary! If the income is really low, why do so many people go forward and want to take the exam every year!"

Zhu's father and mistress were about to answer the conversation, but were interrupted loudly by the impatient Zhu Minjie.

"Okay, okay! Aren't we talking about the elder sister's bride price? Why is it brought up to me again?"

"Xiaojie, your eldest sister is also doing it for your own good!" Father Zhu said.

"All right, all right, I know Eldest Sister is doing it for my own good, but everything should be prioritized, come first, first come first, you should talk about Eldest Sister's bride price first!" Zhu Minjie put down his words, ran upstairs in a hurry, and returned to his room. I went to hide.

Zhu's father sighed, and the mistress was helpless.

Zhu Zhe frowned, and said in disbelief: "Dad, Mom! Why do I feel...Second Sister and Xiaojie are like...like different people?"

Zhu's father and Zhu's mother looked at each other, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, both sighed, remembering that although the two siblings were slightly different, but basically the same, they were relieved, and really didn't know what to say.
