Wind rises time and space gate

Chapter 277 Tips

Weng and his son-in-law chatted happily, and Changzhi enlivened the atmosphere in the middle. The atmosphere in the living room was harmonious.

No matter how nice the greetings are, it’s important to get to the point.

"Logically, you should go through the process first, propose marriage first, and then get married. You hid it from the family, registered first, and then announced the marriage. This is not justified in any way." Father Lin said.

"Yes, it's my son-in-law's fault. He registered the registration without telling his family and didn't tell his parents-in-law. It's his fault." Zhao Guangyuan admitted his mistake with a good attitude.

"Registering first is for convenience and not for my own sake. I originally planned to come to visit my parents-in-law, but because I have been busy and unable to get away from home, I have been putting it off until now. My son-in-law has to make amends to his parents-in-law." Zhao Guangyuan stood up and saluted Father Lin and Mother Lin.

Lin's father and Lin's mother were comforted, and a lot of their unhappiness disappeared.

"Then what are your plans this time?"

"This time, I plan to follow the customs here and follow the customs here. Today, my son-in-law comes to formally propose to me. My parents are gone and my relatives are all abroad, so I don't plan to make a big deal out of it. …”

"Aren't you going to make a big deal?" Lin Ma was stunned. If we don't have a drink, we won't be able to accept this gift.

Mother Lin thought about Zhao Guangyuan's conditions, and the people she knew were afraid of being either rich or noble. When the big event came, would she be afraid that she wouldn't be able to collect the gift money?

Moreover, Lin Wei had been ill for such a long time, so it was just a good time to take advantage of a happy event to get rid of the bad luck. It was just in time to introduce Zhao Guangyuan to his relatives, so that when they met on the road later, they would think that their family was the god of plague, thinking that they wanted to borrow money from them, and pretend not to know him when they met on the road.

She raised Lin Zhaoxia for a while, and Lin Zhaoxia was lucky enough to find a rich man. She just took the opportunity to show her off, so that her relatives would not have to show off to her from time to time about their children, what kind of good job they had found, and their salary. How much, how about my boyfriend, who immigrated again, how about taking the family abroad.

Not enough to cause trouble.

They brought Lin Yanran back before. Yanran didn't study well. When she came back, she had to ask someone to repeat her studies before reluctantly sending her to a junior college. She couldn't compare with the children of her relatives who went to aristocratic schools and were sent to study abroad.

Moreover, Yanran did not find a good job after graduation. She stayed at home and was gossiped about by her relatives. I thought Lin Zhaoxia would be more successful, but I didn't expect that she couldn't do anything at work and was idle at home.

It makes her lose face when she goes out.

Now Lin Zhaoxia finally found a good man. When it was time to have a big party, she happened to invite all her relatives.

Don't you usually talk about how your family is doing and how your children are making a living? Then the gift should be bigger, otherwise it won't be a slap in your face?

But now these two people say they won’t hold a wedding?

"Yes, parents, we are not going to do it. Now, one is to rectify the extravagant trend and not to do anything big, and the other is that young people are afraid of trouble and prefer to travel and get married. Besides, his family doesn't have many relatives or friends. , we are not going to do it.”

The view of marriage and love in each era has passed. Now young people just want to live their own lives behind closed doors. Besides, if you receive a gift, don’t you want to pay it back with social entertainment?

They are all things. And if someone gives you one thousand, you have to pay back one thousand two or one thousand five, otherwise you will be ignorant.

Today's young people are tired of dealing with this kind of worldliness.

Furthermore, Zhao Guangyuan really has no friends to invite here. Lin Zhaoxia only has a few close classmates and friends, so she can just treat these people to a meal in private. There is no need to hold a wedding or a bunch of ceremonies that will tire herself out.

Moreover, the relatives of Lin’s father and Lin’s mother have not been in contact with each other very much in the past two years. Even if they post, they come reluctantly. Moreover, this kind of limelight thing should be left to Lin Yanran. When the time comes, Lin’s father Lin Mom can make a big show.

She didn't want to.

Lin's mother disagreed and insisted on making a big deal, but Lin Zhaoxia just didn't open her mouth. "Guangyuan, do you mean this too?"

Zhao Guangyuan glanced at Lin Zhaoxia and nodded, "Yes, my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I mean the same thing. I have a lot of things to do, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get away from it this year. If my parents-in-law have relatives who must be invited, please take advantage of our I'm here these two days to hold an engagement banquet. Two or three private rooms and three or four tables are enough."

Mother Lin looked back and forth between Zhao Guangyuan and Lin Zhaoxia, frowning.

It seems that these two people have probably discussed it. Since Zhaoxia has moved her household registration, does she not plan to have any contact with Yuhang?

His brows were so furrowed that he could kill a fly. The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense, and Changzhi was so scared that he shrank and did not dare to speak.

Mother Lin wanted to say more, but Father Lin secretly pulled her back.

"If you don't do it, then let's do it. But my family has received some help from relatives in the past two years. Your mother and I want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and introduce Guangyuan to everyone."

Lin Zhaoxia pinched her index finger with her thumb. She didn't want to hold a wedding, not even the engagement banquet with good relatives that Guang Yuan said. How should I introduce it? She doesn't want others to look at her in a strange way.

Zhao Guangyuan reached out and covered her palm. Lin Zhaoxia exhaled and released his thumb from his index finger.

"Just follow what Guang Yuan said and invite some close relatives to attend the engagement banquet tomorrow." Father Lin made the decision.

Mother Lin had no choice but to remain silent and look at what Zhao Guangyuan had brought.

Zhao Guangyuan stood up and put the engagement gifts he had brought on the coffee table and made an introduction. According to the engagement customs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, six gifts were brought during the engagement: fish, meat, sugar, cigarettes, wine, and tea. , all the same, there are also hardware and jewelry, as well as betrothal money.

The six gifts were all wrapped in red paper, and the hardware and jewelry were also packed in red boxes. As for the bride price, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were generous, with 188,000, 280,000, or even more.

Lin Zhaoxia thought about the Lin family's support for her, and wanted to give her two hundred and eighty-eight thousand, but Zhao Guangyuan wanted to give more. His noble Highness, thinking about his status, gave her less, but he couldn't afford it. Lin Zhaoxia couldn't defeat him, so she decided to give him 388,000 yuan.

I circled the stacks of hundred-dollar bills with red paper, and when I laid them out, half of the table was placed. As expected, Mother Lin was very satisfied with the number.

"Guangyuan is interested."

In this way, the engagement process is considered complete.

Next, Lin's father and Lin's mother informed their close relatives that they would have a dinner tomorrow, and Lin Zhaoxia and Zhao Guangyuan called to book a private room. Fortunately, this season is not the peak wedding period, so it is still easy to book a few private rooms.

We will quickly book a place for tomorrow's banquet.

After having a meal at Lin's house, they couldn't live in the house, so Lin Zhaoxia took Zhao Guangyuan and Chang Zhi to stay in a hotel near Lin's house.

After the three of them left, Mother Lin packed up the things that Lin Zhaoxia and the others had brought, looking at them one by one and feeling satisfied.

"I thought he had no father or mother and didn't understand these marriage customs, but I didn't expect that he did it very openly." Father Lin looked relaxed and very satisfied with his son-in-law.

By marrying him, Xia Xia will not have to endure hardships in the future, and he will still be able to take care of her family.

Mother Lin paused, not wanting to see Father Lin's satisfied attitude towards Zhao Guangyuan.

"Don't just buy you off with these bride price, right? They don't care about us. If I hadn't made a special trip, they would still want to hide it." Mother Lin put away the satisfied look on her face and put away the bride price. .

Looking at the hardware in the jewelry box on the table, he took it out one by one and touched it. Logically speaking, these were the betrothal gifts from the son-in-law. The hardware had to be returned with the dowry, but Mother Lin wanted to leave them to Lin Yanran.

Thinking that Lin Yanran would be sent to exchange for a bride price before reaching the legal age for marriage at that time, my heart ached again, "Yanran can exchange for 188,000 yuan in the mountains. What kind of place are we!" Give these bride prices. Not much. Thinking about Lin Yanran that the other party hadn't given her any hardware at that time, she felt even more heartbroken.

Thinking that Lin Zhaoxia now lives in a mansion and drives a luxury car, these hardware should be despised. Moreover, this is a betrothal gift and must be accompanied by a dowry. There is no psychological burden at all on taking off the hardware.

On the other side, Lin Zhaoxia took Chang Zhi and Lin Zhaoxia for a nice stroll in Yuhang, and the three of them returned to the hotel.

When I went to take a bath, I also talked about hardware with Zhao Guangyuan.

"I'm afraid my mother won't give me that hardware as a dowry." Furthermore, the bride price given by Zhao Guangyuan was too much, leaving no room for anything. Lin's mother would still look for this son-in-law in the future.

After all, Father Lin is still ill and there will be no shortage of places to pay in the future. Lin Zhaoxia was afraid of feeding their appetite.

Zhao Guangyuan didn't care. He held Lin Zhaoxia in his arms and rested his chin on her black hair. "Don't worry. My husband is here. I leave these matters to my husband." He didn't expect the Lin family to be able to use the hardware. Come back with Xia'er.

It can be regarded as repaying this favor for Xia'er.

"It will be very troublesome in the future."

"Don't be afraid. I'm here."

Okay, just know it. Lin Zhaoxia sighed.

At noon the next day, Lin Zhaoxia drove Zhao Guangyuan and Chang Zhi, as well as Lin's parents and Lin's mother to the appointed place early. It was a well-known local garden restaurant. The private dishes were excellent. Although it was a weekend, Because it was on the outskirts of the city and they had booked for noon, they were lucky enough to get a seat.

Three tables were booked. Each private room is a huge round table, which can seat twelve people. The partition of the middle private room is pushed open, and the three private rooms are merged into one.

Father Lin has been ill for a long time and hasn't gone out to eat for a long time. Maybe his son-in-law came to get engaged yesterday and satisfied him with everything. Today, he was dressed in new clothes. He and Mother Lin greeted relatives at the door of the hotel with a smile.

"Dad, you are not in good health, why don't you sit inside and wait?" Lin Zhaoxia wanted to help him go in and wait, but he was not willing. Not to mention that the air outside is good, but it’s good to get some sunshine.

Lin Zhaoxia just let him go.

When the time came, relatives arrived one after another. Although Lin's mother had borrowed it from relatives all over the years, she gradually returned it later. Moreover, yesterday Lin's father and Lin's mother invited all close relatives, and they all came.

"Is Zhaoxia already engaged? He graduated not long ago, right? My monkey is still studying in Australia."

The person who spoke out was Lin's mother's cousin. She married a husband in Wenzhou. Her husband's family was rich and she also had a daughter as old as Lin Zhaoxia. She was now a graduate student in Australia.

"Hello, aunt. I haven't seen you for a long time. I look young again. I can't compare with my cousin." Lin Zhaoxia smiled lightly at her and said hello.

She doesn't have a good impression of this aunt, and she is used to looking at people with her nostrils. Her family is in good condition, but when she was a child, Lin Zhaoxia and Lin's mother went to her house to pay New Year's greetings. The red envelopes she gave were always one hundred, and she was very stingy, even fifty. given.

Who in Wenzhou gives 510 yuan to their children as a lucky gift? They all start in the thousands.

The little Lin Zhaoxia knew that people looked down upon her. She was just an adopted daughter, not a biological child.

Mother Lin knew that the red envelopes she gave were few and she was also angry with her, but her husband's family was rich and it was hard to offend her. So he kept showing off Lin Zhaoxia's grades in front of her. Who made Aunt Lu's daughter have poor grades?

But Aunt Lu's daughter didn't even take the college entrance examination, so she was sent abroad.

Aunt Lu exchanged greetings with Lin Zhaoxia, then turned her attention to Zhao Guangyuan. Ouch, how lucky was Lin Zhaoxia to pick up such an extraordinary man? She thought he was an older man. Here's the old man.

"This is my nephew and son-in-law? Oh, he looks so good. What does he do? Does he live in Haishi?"

"Hello, aunt. Please come inside and I'll introduce you to my aunt later." Zhao Guangyuan's smile did not diminish. Holding Chang Zhi's hand, he stood at the door, standing tall and tall.

Many people looked at Chang Zhi with obscure eyes. It looked a little scary. Zhao Guangyuan held him tightly. Smile to everyone.

There were still one or two guests who hadn't come, and Father Lin's legs were sore from standing, so Mother Lin helped him into the restaurant, leaving Lin Zhaoxia and the others outside.

In the box, all the relatives were asking Lin's parents about Zhao Guangyuan and their parents.

Yesterday, when they received a call, they only knew that their adopted daughter was getting engaged. They were invited to an engagement banquet. They didn't tell them that they had such an old son!

I thought Lin Zhaoxia was someone's stepmother, but I didn't expect that she was actually my biological child!

Everyone was stunned. They all asked Lin's father and Lin's mother...

"So she gave birth to the child the year she disappeared? She really doesn't remember what happened that year?" Why are you so unbelievable?

Lin Zhaoxia was missing at that time, and Lin's parents asked relatives to help find her. They all thought she had found her biological parents and gone home. Didn’t you expect that you were going to give birth to a son for a man?

"What's going on with this son-in-law? He really has no father or mother. He doesn't even have an elder in the family who can make the final decision?"

"Why not, but everyone is abroad, and it's not enough trouble to come back. Young people nowadays have different ideas from us. They don't want to hold weddings, not even engagement banquets." Mother Lin didn't want people to look down on her family. He argued while squeezing his neck.

Aunt Lu pulled Ma Lin and asked Zhao Guangyuan which of the six gifts he had given and how much the bride price had been.

"Only three hundred and eighty-eight thousand?"

Next to him, Father Lin's relatives saw Aunt Lu's disdainful look and frowned, "Three hundred and eighty-eight thousand is not much. Our bride price here is only ten or two hundred thousand. The woman will accompany a wedding car, and the man will prepare it." For a wedding room, the bride price is this amount."

Maybe the son-in-law gave him more because he saw Lin Wei was sick. Seeing as the young couple didn't plan to hold a wedding, they probably didn't plan to accept a dowry either. I am also considerate of the situation at home. Father Lin's relatives were satisfied with how Zhao Guangyuan handled things.

Aunt Lu disagreed, "One hundred and eighty-eight thousand is considered low here, and three hundred and eighty-eight is average. When my eldest aunt married her daughter, she was given one million and eighty thousand, and the wedding house was also new. She has two bedrooms and a living room, and also gave her family a car worth more than 500,000 yuan."

"That's your Wen City. We are not selling our daughters here. And if we give a large bride price, the dowry will also be large." In Lin Wei's situation, unless the bride price is returned, what else can be given as a dowry?

Aunt Lu didn't intend to argue with Lin's father's relatives in the countryside. She just pulled Lin's mother and asked quietly, "Didn't you say before that you wanted me to help find a Zhaoxia in Wen City?"

Of course, Aunt Lu understood what her cousin was thinking, and wanted her to help find one in Wen City. It didn't matter her age, or whether she was divorced or widowed, as long as she wasn't too old. She wanted to use the bride price to buy Lin Yanran a house.

"I won't accompany you back after receiving these betrothal gifts. Her father is ill at home and needs medical treatment and medicine. The money should be used as a down payment for Yanran."

"Oh, my sister, this is enough for a down payment. Do you want to buy a shabby little house for Yanran? And just like Yanran, without a stable flow of cash, she can't even get a bank loan. You help me every month. Should Lin Wei help repay the loan?"

Aunt Lin hated the iron. "Since he got the man a few years ago and gave birth to a son, it was his fault first. Moreover, he has not come to the door in these years and has not let out a single fart. How can you still be polite to him?"

To support Mother Lin, "Didn't I say that his family is in good condition? His parents also left money for him? You have raised Zhaoxia for so many years, how can you not leave anything behind? Of course you want a house, what about a down payment?" What’s going on!”
