Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 352 Dowry
Shen Rui's mother then said:
"Sister Wang, Xiao Du, let's talk about the two children. They were classmates and now work in the same city. It's a coincidence. Xiao Rui's father and I both like Xiao Ya very much. We hope that they can live happily together for the rest of their lives."

As expected of a teacher, Shen’s mother is really eloquent.

On behalf of the Shen family, she formally proposed to the Du family for their son. Her words were very polite and her attitude was very sincere.

"Uncle, aunt, we won't interfere in Xiaoya's affairs. Like you, my mother and I also hope that she can be happy.

To be honest, we didn't want her to come so far away by herself, but she decided to work here for the sake of relationship.

We don’t have any other requests, we just hope that Shen Rui can be nice to Xiaoya. A happy family is more important than anything else, don’t you think?
We have no objection to their relationship, they can get the marriage certificate first and hold the wedding later."

Du Shaojie expressed his opinion on behalf of Wang Yuxiu and agreed to their marriage.

But for now we can only get engaged and get the marriage certificate when the time is right, and the wedding will have to wait.

"What Xiaojie means is what I mean. We both want the best for our two children."

Wang Yuxiu also said something, and the matter was settled.

The happiest person was Shen Rui. Shen's father was also very happy. He quickly winked at his wife.

Shen's mother naturally understood and then raised some specific issues.

"It is certain that the two children will not be able to get housing when they just start working. I have discussed with Xiaorui's father that they can live with us after they get married. Our house is spacious enough for them.

When they have their own house and move out, we will prepare a full set of furniture for them, as well as a TV, refrigerator and washing machine. In addition, I have also prepared Xiaoya's wedding jewelry. Do you think it's okay?"

Shen Rui's family conditions were average. The couple lived frugally and spent almost all their savings on their son's marriage.

Fortunately, Shen Rui has only a younger sister who has just started college, so he doesn't need to worry about this for the time being.

"I don't have too many financial requirements, as long as the intention is there."

There is no such thing as "bride price" when getting married in the city these days. Du Shaojie doesn't care how much material things the other party can give, as long as the intention is there.

As for him, he will definitely prepare a generous dowry for his little sister, but there is no need to talk about it today.

Wang Yuxiu did say that when Xiaoya gets married, she will prepare something very proper so that others won't find any fault with it.

After finishing the business, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much warmer.

Father Shen saw that the time was almost up, so he said, "Sister Wang, Shaojie, I have reserved a table outside. Let's have lunch together at noon."

They were all ordinary people, and the Shen family thought that engagement was just a matter of the two families finalizing the matter and then having a meal together and that was it.

In a few days, the two children can go and get the marriage certificate first, and the wedding can wait.

Du Shaojie didn't plan to hold an engagement ceremony. This arrangement was fine and he wouldn't make things difficult for the Shen family.

"Okay, let's go. Uncle Shen, where are we going?"

"I heard from Xiao Rui that you like Sichuan cuisine, so I booked a table at Xichuan Restaurant. Unfortunately, I made the reservation a little late and they don't have any private rooms. Please don't mind."

[Xichuan Restaurant] is currently recognized by everyone as the leading Sichuan cuisine restaurant in Shanghai, and the Shen family has invested a huge amount of money in it.

Father Shen recalled the scene when he made the reservation. The restaurant was doing booming business every day, and he couldn't even book a private room two days in advance, so he had to book a seat in the lobby.

Du Shaojie and Xiaoya looked at each other. They could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, otherwise they would offend others.

"Uncle Shen, Auntie, well, I own the Xichuan Restaurant in Shanghai. Let's go there first. When we get there, I'll ask the manager to allocate a private room for us."

After Du Shaojie finished speaking, Shen Rui and his parents were stunned.

If having a restaurant in Guangzhou represents that Du Shaojie is a wealthy man, then owning the chain brand [Xichuan Restaurant] is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

[Xichuan Restaurant] is very famous. Everyone knows that it is a national chain catering enterprise, but few people know who the owner of this company is.

But no matter who he is, he is definitely a wealthy man.

Shen Rui was a little confused, and his parents were a little more worried. Xiaoya's brother was so unusual, could the two children live happily?
Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to drive Shen Rui's family of three there first, and then come back for him, his mother and his sister.

As for what Shen Rui's family of three might think, he had no way to stop them.

Xiaoya is a bit quirky. She concealed some information about Du Shaojie when they were in love, perhaps because she didn't want to change the relationship.

Wang Yongli drove Shen Rui and his parents to [Xichuan Restaurant], and then brought out Du Shaojie's name. The manager immediately arranged a reserved private room for them.

He then went to pick up his boss and his family.

"Xiao Rui, didn't you know about Xiao Ya's brother's situation before?"

There were no outsiders in the private room, and Mr. Shen asked seriously.

"I don't know. Xiaoya said he was a cooking technician and opened a Sichuan restaurant in Yangcheng when he started his business. She didn't say anything else and I didn't ask any more questions."

Shen Rui didn't think there was anything wrong with it. No matter how rich his brother-in-law was, it had little to do with him.

Father Shen and his wife looked at each other and couldn't help shaking their heads. Xiaoya's words clearly foreshadowed the situation. When they first started their business, they opened a restaurant. Now, hasn't it developed into a large-scale restaurant chain?
Xiaoya’s elder brother is so awesome!

Of course, this incident will not have a substantial impact on Xiaoya and Shen Rui's marriage, but it will have a subtle impact on Shen Rui's parents. When Du Shaojie's family arrived, the banquet started, and the guests and hosts had a great meal.

Mr. Shen insisted on paying the bill himself and refused to give him a discount.

Du Shaojie winked at the manager, and the manager settled the bill at the normal price. But before leaving, he gave Lao Shen a VIP card, a stack of vouchers, and a few kilograms of bacon and sausage made by the restaurant itself.

Shen's mother gave Xiaoya a big red envelope before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Xiaoya, don't you want to live with Shen Rui's parents?"

After returning home, Du Shaojie took his little sister and asked.

Xiaoya didn't say anything, but her attitude was already very clear.

Du Shaojie nodded, and the next day he and Wang Yongli started looking for a house in Shanghai. After searching for a long time, they chose a building on the third floor with an area of ​​more than 80 square meters.

The house is not very good, but the location is very good, and it will be very convenient for Xiaoya and Shenrui to go to work in the future.

When Xiaoya took him to see the house during her lunch break, she was so happy. She naturally didn't want to live with her elders. Living together every day would easily cause conflicts. It would definitely be more comfortable for the two of them to live alone.

"It's good that you like this apartment. It's my dowry for you. Don't worry about the decoration. I'll have someone take care of it.

In addition, you and Shen Rui should agree on this house. Anyone who asks should know that we are borrowing a relative's house to live in temporarily, so as not to affect the housing allocation for both of you."

Du Shaojie asked Xiaoya to prepare her personal information, and the apartment will be under her name.

The house purchase formalities were completed quickly, and he asked someone to find a decoration company, and then the construction began. This kind of thing did not need him and Xiaoya to supervise, and he could just hand it over to the manager of the [Xichuan Restaurant] Magic City store, and the other party would arrange someone to be responsible.

after a few days.

Du Shaojie invited Shen Rui's family to dinner, and then he returned to Yangcheng with Wang Yuxiu and Wang Yongli.

Xiaomei has also returned from Beijing, and a great thing happened to her right after she started working.

The branch manager was promoted a few days ago, and after she came back, she became the person in charge of the bank's work, and soon became the full-time manager. It didn't take too long to go from deputy manager to manager.

"Brother, am I awesome?"

When she saw her brother, Xiaomei couldn't help but show off.

Du Shaojie rolled his eyes and was too lazy to answer the question.

Yes, Xiaomei is capable at work and is brave and hardworking, but this is not the most important thing.

The key is her academic qualifications. A master's degree from a prestigious university is a great advantage. Coupled with Jiang Dongyuan's support, Xiaomei was able to rise quickly.

"Xiaomei, you should work hard in the future and stop getting cocky. I gave Xiaoya a house in Shanghai as a dowry. If you have time later, go and look at the houses yourself. I will also give you one."

Du Shaojie felt that he could not favor one over the other. Although Xiaomei had no intention of getting married yet, it was okay to give her a house in advance.

If he didn't mention it now, he was afraid that his older sister would have some thoughts in her mind.

"What do I need a house for? Brother, you're not going to get married and want to kick your sister out of the house, are you?"

Xiaomei was still happy in her heart, which showed that her brother cared about her feelings very much.

But she really doesn't need a house. Although she is just a grassroots branch manager, her dormitory is a separate apartment. If she gets married, the company will definitely allocate housing for her.

She didn't want her brother to spend this money in vain.

"Just take it if you give it to me. If you don't want to go and see it, I'll go by myself. Don't complain about it after I buy it."

Du Shaojie has always been a strong person at home. His father died early, so he started working to support his family when he was a teenager. He raised his two younger sisters.

The eldest brother is like a father, and this is not just saying.

"Well, brother, please help me choose. I really don't have time to look around."

Xiaomei had no choice but to agree, and she bowed to her brother.

Du Shaojie was amused by her. Unlike Xiaoya, the older sister was more independent in character.

Yangcheng was his base, and within a few days he bought a courtyard and put it under Du Xiaomei's name.

He took care of all the decoration, so Xiaomei didn't have to worry about anything.

After finishing all these things, Du Shaojie couldn't help but sigh. Family matters were easy to deal with, but he didn't know what to do with his own affairs.

after a few days.

He called Cai Jing and asked for half a month's leave for Liang Meiqin.

Then he took the other party to Hong Kong, on the one hand to have a rest, and on the other hand to talk to the other party about the future.
