This stepmother is a bit crazy

Chapter 35 The heroic mother-in-law

"Okay, this is the only major event in your life. Take some photos as a souvenir. When you two are old and have children and grandchildren, take them out and see them. It will also be a beautiful memory."

Zhang Dalan, whose heart was still aching, muttered: "But this is not how you spend money."

"But in my heart, you are more important than money, Sister Dalan."

Jiang Linran suddenly turned to look at Zhao Dakui: "If you dare to treat Sister Dalan badly in the future, see if I will spare you."

As he spoke, he waved his little fist at him.

Zhao Dakui, who was over 1.8 meters tall, looked at Jiang Linran, who had just reached his chest, and her fist, which was no bigger than a bun. He couldn't hold back his laughter: "I promise to be good to her for the rest of my life, don't worry."

"You said this yourself, I didn't force you to say it."

Zhao Dakui pursed his lips, with a smile in his eyes. Then who was gesticulating at him just now?

Three people came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhang Dalan, who was afraid that Jiang Linran would buy things randomly, followed her closely and was paying attention to her every move.

Jiang Linran took out the bicycle, hot water bottle, watch and tickets given by Granny Liu and put them on the counter.

"Trouble, please bring that Phoenix men's bicycle, the kettle with the word "Happy" printed on it, and the watch." Jiang Linran lowered his head and looked at it. There were only two brands of watches on the counter, Shanghai brand and Plum Blossom, and there were not many styles.

"Give me this plum blossom watch." Jiang Linran pointed to a piece of Zhang Dalan's that was a suitable size.

Zhang Dalan is tall, and his whole family can ride men's bicycles.

Just let Zhang Dalan wear the watch himself.

When the salesperson saw that she had taken out a wad of money and had tickets, she felt very happy.

Bicycles cost [-] yuan, watches cost [-] yuan, and kettles cost [-] yuan, a total of [-] yuan.

Jiang Linran handed over the money.

The frightened Zhang Dalan suddenly reacted and stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Linran's hand: "I can't take it, Xiaoran. Even if you break up with me, I can't take such a valuable thing from you."

"Yes. Xiaoran. We understand your feelings for Dalan, but we really can't accept them."

Zhao Dakui was also anxious.

Jiang Linran pulled out his hand and handed it to a salesperson.

"These tickets will expire if they are not used. We will use the bicycles together, and you must collect the watch and kettle."

Zhang Dalan walked in front with Jiang Linran carrying a thermos, while Zhao Dakui pushed his bicycle and walked slowly behind.

None of the three spoke.

For a moment.

Jiang Linran pointed to the restaurant in front: "I'm hungry. I want you two to treat me to dinner and eat something delicious." Look at this, if they don't let them spend some money, neither of them will be in a good mood today.

After entering, Jiang Linran and Zhang Dalan sat down near the door so they could look at the bicycles parked in front of them.

Zhao Dakui went to the window and took out all the food stamps and meat stamps he had brought out of his pocket.

"Two pounds of rice, four meat buns, half a pound of braised pork, a piece of sweet and sour fish, and a bowl of egg soup."

Jiang Linran glanced at the food on the table. This man must have spent all the money he brought.

During the meal, Zhao Dakui barely moved his chopsticks. He was either picking up vegetables for Zhang Dalan or calling Jiang Linran to ask her to eat more.

After they were full and their bellies were round, they finished everything left on the plate.

Not far from the village entrance, Jiang Linran and Zhang Dalan got off the oxcart and asked Zhao Dakui to push the kettle and bicycle back to his home.

She followed Zhang Dalan behind, keeping some distance from him.

Before Zhao Dakui arrived at his house, the news that he had returned pushing a brand-new bicycle had already spread throughout the village, as fast as the wind.

Whenever they see Zhang Honghua, they always ask the village chief: "Is your family buying bicycles to prepare for Dakui's wedding? Which family does the bride belong to?"

The couple knew that their son was going to get a marriage certificate with Zhang Dalan today, but they really didn't know how to buy a bicycle. Even if the family could scrape together so much money, they still wouldn't be able to afford it.

I was too uneasy to say anything, so I had to rush home in a vague voice.When I got home, I looked at the shiny Phoenix brand men's bicycle under the eaves, and stepped forward to touch it.

The uneasiness in my heart deepened. How could I buy a car properly and come back?
The couple looked at each other, and finally Zhang Honghua spoke.

Zhao Dakui wiped his face, happy and troubled: "It was the dowry Jiang Linran bought for Dalan, and there was a thermos bottle in the house. In addition, she also bought a watch for Dalan, and paid for me to take photos of our wedding. According to".

Zhao Mingquan and Zhang Honghua opened their mouths and didn't speak for a long time.

"Why don't we give the money back to Xiaoran and let's keep this kettle? What do you think?"

Zhang Honghua thought for a long time and said.

"I can see it."

Zhao Mingquan echoed, "I just don't know if all the family's money will be enough."

"She won't take it."

This... husband and wife, you look at me, I look at you.

Zhao Chenglin and Zhao Xiaoyan heard that their eldest brother was coming back pushing a brand new bicycle.

Chirping and running back with a smile.

Stepping into the yard, I saw my parents and eldest brother sitting under the eaves, as quiet as chickens.

The expressions on their faces were indescribable, and the two of them slowed down and walked over.

Looking at that bicycle, I can't figure it out. It's obviously a good thing, but why do they look like this?

The brother and sister walked to Zhang Honghua and Zhao Dakui respectively.

"Mom, what's the matter with you?"

"Yes, brother, our family has a bicycle. Why don't you and your mother look very happy?"

Zhao Chenglin also asked.

"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that the dowry is too expensive."

When Zhao Chenglin heard that this was the reason, he immediately relaxed. He went over to hold the handrail of the bicycle, pushed the bicycle into the yard, and walked twice: "This is not easy. When Jiang Linran gets married in the future, you will also prepare a bicycle for her." No, that’s fine.”

"Yes, mother. When the time comes, we will also be her mother-in-law and support her."

Zhao Xiaoyan ran over and stood on the other side, holding on to the bicycle handrail.

The dullness on the faces of the three people sitting there gradually dissipated. Yes, why didn't they think of it?
Jiang Linran is only 16 years old now, and it will take two or three years before she gets married. They can save a little bit, and now they have a cooperative, and they can make more money. They can save a little bit in the next two years, and then they can buy her more dowry. .

"You're still smart kid."

As Zhao Mingquan spoke, he picked up a piece of rubbish from the side and threw it towards his second son.

Zhao Chenglin smiled and dodged.

"I just know how to be clever. If you are really smart, you should learn from Xiaoran and learn the culture."

The stone that was weighing on her heart moved away, Zhang Honghua said with a smile.

"Don't worry, mother, it's not just him and the two who want to learn, Dalan also asked me to learn too."

Zhao Dakui said.

"Study hard and don't disgrace our Zhao family. For the time being, this bicycle is said to be bought by our family, do you know?

If anyone asks, just say it is for your eldest brother. "

"Yes."

Zhao Chenglin and Zhao Xiaoyan stood up straight and raised their hands in salute.

Jiang Linran went back with Zhang Dalan.

At first glance, Qi Yanzhen noticed that Zhang Dalan, wearing a red scarf, was different from usual today. She seemed to be whiter and more beautiful.
