Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 664 Li Na’s dowry!
Beijing. Li Family Courtyard!
When I got home after eating, it was already 07:30 in the evening.

The children were already sleepy after struggling for such a long time. They were already yawning repeatedly when they were eating in the restaurant. Yun Rui and Yun Jin, who had never been very noisy, even cried for a while.

After knowing that the child was sleepy, Jiang Xue went back to the main room to put the child to sleep.

Li Yi is preparing to go to the study room to sort out the things he brought back from Hong Kong Island, mainly the gifts, those prepared for family members, those prepared for relatives and friends, sort them out and send them to everyone as soon as possible.

After the third sister gets married, he will take his parents, wife and children back to his hometown. After all, the New Year will be here in half a month.

That’s right, Li Yi is planning to go back to his hometown to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year!

Firstly, it was because his parents were not used to living in the capital, and secondly, he wanted to go back to his hometown to visit.

But at this moment, I saw my mother pushing the door open and walking in from outside.

Seeing Jiang Xue lying on the kang, sleeping with her child in her arms, she immediately waved to Li Yi and motioned for him to come out.

After Li Yi put on a thick coat, he came to the main room.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"If you're not busy, go to the wing with your mother. If she has anything to do, she'll come to you to discuss something!" Zhang Yuehong said.

"Row!"

Then Li Yi opened the door and followed his mother to the west wing.

But when he opened the door to the west wing and saw the situation in the room, he was instantly confused.

I saw that the big wooden bed in the west wing was filled with all kinds of things.

In addition to sheets, quilts, toothbrushes and toothbrushes, there are also towels, soap, slippers, even dishes, chopsticks, wooden boxes, etc.

And everything is red. It’s quite spectacular to have so many festive things piled together.

The most important thing is that the second sister Li Lan is still taking things out of her snakeskin pocket. Soon the bed is full, and even a few chairs are full.

"Mom, second sister, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yuehong stepped forward to help and said, "Your second sister and I are packing Nana's dowry. We just can't make up our minds about something, and I want to ask your opinion!"

"What are you still undecided about?"

While speaking, Li Yi looked at the things on the bed. He also wanted to see what dowry his mother had prepared for the third sister.

After reading it again, Li Yi was somewhat disappointed.

Although there are many things on the kang, the most expensive ones are probably the four red wooden boxes. The rest are ordinary daily necessities and not valuable.

At this time, my mother's voice sounded in my ears: "This is the money that is packed into the box. Your second sister and I don't know how much to put in it!"

Hearing this, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You can put as much as you want, as long as it's not too shabby, right?"

According to the custom of Saibei Province, when a girl gets married, her family must prepare several boxes regardless of whether she prepares a dowry or not.

If there are no conditions, I usually prepare two. If there are conditions, I will prepare four or eight. In short, it should be an even number.

In addition to putting your daily clothes and return home clothes, the box also contains the money in the bag.

The so-called box money is private money given by parents to their daughters. The specific amount is determined according to economic conditions. A few hundred dollars is not too much, and a few yuan is not too little.

在碾子山村，村民们通常会放个6块6或者是8块8，有条件的也会放个88或者是188，但压箱钱能超过100元钱的少之又少。

"Originally, my mother planned to put 888 yuan, but after thinking about it, I felt it wasn't appropriate!" Zhang Yuehong said.

"Mom, what's wrong with this?" Li Yi asked puzzledly.

Zhang Yuehong immediately explained: "The dowry is usually given according to the man's betrothal gift. Xiaolong was quite sincere and gave Nana a dowry of 666 yuan. Logically speaking, our dowry should also be given to 666 yuan or both. Times!"

"But when they were renovating their new home, my mother bought more than 5000 yuan worth of furniture and appliances. Although the bed items were not valuable, they still cost 500 yuan. If you add 888 yuan to the bottom of the box, that would be I'm afraid it will cost more than 6000 yuan, ten times the gift!"

"Six thousand, just six thousand. Our family doesn't need that little money. If you and my father don't have enough money."

Before Li Yi could finish speaking, his second sister Li Lan said, "It's not that my mother can't bear to part with her, but she's afraid that people will gossip!"

"Uh, what are you talking about?" "It's not like you don't know that only those girls who can't get married will give such a large dowry to the man. Let's give 10 times the dowry as the bride price? We will inevitably be said that Nana is marrying on her side. people!"

Then the second sister continued: "This is the second priority. Anyway, we are not familiar with each other here, so we are not afraid of what others will say, but I am afraid that my brother-in-law will think too much!"

"Second sister, are you worried that third brother-in-law's self-esteem will be stimulated?" Li Yi said.

"Yes, it's not like you don't know the character of my brother-in-law. He has served as a soldier and is very courageous. Mom is worried that we will make him feel uncomfortable if we give him ten times the dowry!" Li Land said.

Li Yi smiled and said: "Mother, second sister, you are overthinking. Although Dalong is a bit chauvinistic, fortunately he can still tell the difference!"

Li Yi understands Long Zhanjun's character very well. He has a keen mind and a very thorough understanding of people's hearts. He can tell who is really good to him.

What's more, Long Zhanjun has some understanding of his family's situation. With the current assets of their Li family, let alone 888 yuan, even [-] yuan is normal.

"Is everything okay?" Zhang Yuehong asked in a deep voice.

"It's okay, it'll be okay even if you put more in it!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"888 is already a lot. If nothing goes wrong, then I will pack the box with Xiaolan!" Zhang Yuehong said.

"Wait a minute!"

With that said, Li Yi turned around and left the west wing.

When he came back again, he had several more boxes in his hand.

Then Li Yi handed one of the boxes to his mother and said at the same time: "Mom, put this in too. The gift I prepared for the third sister will also be included in his dowry!"

Zhang Yuehong took the box and said casually: "This box is very beautiful. What's in it?"

"jewelry!"

"What kind of jewelry is it? It's quite heavy?"

"gold!"

Hearing this, the mother and second sister were stunned, and then looked straight at the jewelry box in front of them.

Li Yina didn't know what they were thinking, so he immediately said: "Open it if you want to see it. We are all a family, there is nothing to be embarrassed about!"

Before her mother could react, the second sister opened the jewelry box. When the exquisite jewelry box made of mahogany was opened, both of them were stunned by the golden jewelry inside.

Inside the half-foot-square box were two gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, a gold ring, two gold necklaces, one thick and one thin, and two gold ingots the size of thumbs.

Good guy, so much gold, less than a pound!
"Xiaoyi, is this really for Nana?" Mother asked stutteringly.

"Correct!"

"Then does Xiaoxue know about this? Mom knows that you and Nana are kissing, but you can't go behind Xiaoxue's back."

Before his mother could finish speaking, Li Yi smiled and said, "Mom, this is what Xiaoxue picked for my third sister!"

"Really?"

"Well, not only does my third sister have it, Xiaoxue also prepared a portion for you, my eldest sister, and my second sister!" Li Yi said.

"We have one too?" the second sister asked in surprise.

"Correct!"

With that said, Li Yi handed the other two jewelry boxes in his hand to his mother and second sister.

Zhang Yuehong took the jewelry box handed over by Li Yi with trembling hands, and then opened it carefully.

I saw that it was also filled with gold jewelry, and the glittering gold was very dazzling.

It's just that compared to Li Na's share, every piece of jewelry in this box seems a bit heavy and is more suitable for the elderly.

At this time, Li Lan also opened her own box. Hers was similar to Li Na's, except that the two small gold ingots were gone, replaced by two small gold locks for children, which were obviously prepared for the children at home.

Looking at the valuable jewelry in front of them, Zhang Yuehong and Li Lan were both excited and moved.

For a moment, the entire west wing was unusually quiet.
