Chapter 16 The Dowry

When Gao Yuan heard that Tan Xiaohui thought he was going to ask her parents to marry her, he couldn't help being both funny and moved. The funny thing was how could he be so reckless to propose marriage within a few days of knowing each other; Thinking, it means that she has promised herself with her heart.

Gao Yuan said: "Junior sister, how do you know that I want to ask your parents to marry you?" Tan Xiaohui was taken aback: "Then what do you want?" Gao Yuan said: "Junior sister, I don't want to ask for anything, I'm just joking " Tan Xiaohui immediately showed displeasure, pouted her lips and said, "Are you joking like this?"

Seeing her getting angry again, Gao Yuan couldn't help feeling anxious: "Look at you, I believe everything I say. In fact, I'm not joking. I really want to go to your house. I'm afraid your parents won't welcome you." Tan Xiaohui said happily: " As long as I welcome it, my parents will welcome it."

In Gao Yuan's heart, he didn't know whether it was happiness or worry. He knew that he only wanted to make Tan Xiaohui happy, but he overdid it. Now, he had to follow Tan Xiaohui to her house.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, the two rushed to Pengxi. Tan Xiaohui took him to the front of the house and rang the doorbell. After waiting for a while, the door didn't open.The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with fair face and quiet expression. Tan Xiaohui called out: "Mom, I'm back." Tan's mother said, "Come in quickly." The two entered the room, Gao Yuan called auntie, Tan's mother smiled happily "Xiaohui, who is he?" Tan Xiaohui introduced: "He is a senior from my school, and I met him during the interview." Tan's mother looked Gao Yuan up and down for a while, and praised: "He is really a good-looking talent. ah!"

Tan Xiaohui said: "That's right, brother is a graduate student. He has passed many qualification exams, such as a certified public accountant. It can be said that he is the most outstanding talent in our school!" I've never heard you admire anyone so much." Tan Xiaohui said: "Mom, I'm not admiring, I'm telling the truth." Tan's mother was busy making tea, and Tan Xiaohui said, "Mom, why isn't dad at home?"

Tan's mother put down the tea: "That old thing really pissed me off." Tan Xiaohui said, "What's going on?" Tan's mother said, "We went out for a long trip yesterday. Before we went out, I asked him to return the money and the shopping card. There was some gold and silver jewelry all packed in a plastic bag and then hidden in a trash can, you know, we have had a few burglaries this year, I have to be careful."

Tan's mother took a sip of water: "What's annoying is that when we got home this afternoon, I was a little tired and went to sleep for a while. I didn't expect that in just a short while, that old thing suddenly became diligent. He swept the floor, I picked up the bag of things hidden in the trash can and went downstairs to throw it away! Xiaohui, all our valuable belongings are in there. There are 3 yuan in cash, more than 00 shopping cards with a face value of 2 yuan, and There are more than [-] yuan of gold and silver jewelry, and the most important thing is a pair of jade pendants, which are worth at least [-] yuan. They were passed down to me by your grandma, and I plan to leave them for you as a dowry!"

Tan Xiaohui also became anxious: "Mom, can I still find it?" Tan's mother said, "I asked the security of the community, and they said that the garbage will be transported to the garbage room by the cleaners every afternoon, and it will be transported to the garbage room early the next morning." The garbage disposal site, at that time it is impossible to find it back. I hurriedly asked your father to go to the garbage room to ask, he just passed, and I was going down too!"

Gao Yuan said: "Auntie, you can rest at home, I'll go find it!" He and Tan Xiaohui went downstairs, and before entering the garbage room, they smelled a pungent sour smell.After entering the door, I saw a tall, thin middle-aged man who had just picked up a shovel. Tan Xiaohui called out: "Father!" Tan's father was also surprised when she saw her with Gao Yuan: "Who is he?" " Tan Xiaohui gave another extravagant introduction, Tan's father looked at Gao Yuan with admiration: "You are welcome to associate with Xiaohui, you go back quickly, this place is too dirty."

Gao Yuan said, "Uncle, you should go back, I'll look for it." After he finished speaking, he grabbed the shovel and pushed Dad Tan out of the garbage room.Tan Xiaohui stood there worrying. It turned out that the garbage room was four to five hundred square meters in size, and the ground was full of garbage, at least as high as half a person.Not only that, but in the innermost part of the garbage room, there are three rows of at least 30 trash cans against the wall. Each trash can is so high that two people can hug each other, and each trash can is full of garbage.Tan Xiaohui said: "Should we go through all the rubbish?"

Gao Yuan said: "Is there any other way?" Tan Xiaohui said: "When will it be turned over?" There are treasures worth 30 yuan hidden in the pile! Even if it takes three days and three nights, it is worth it!" Tan Xiaohui said helplessly: "I didn't expect that I planned to let you go to my house to rest and take you out to play tomorrow. But I made you come here to help us dig through the trash!"

Gao Yuan picked up a large piece of rubbish with a shovel, and then shook it away vigorously, only to see leftovers, sanitary napkins and other things scattered into one piece. I picked up a piece of rubbish and shook it out to see, but there was still nothing. Ten minutes passed, half an hour passed, and an hour passed. Gao Yuan swung his shovel vigorously, but what he shoveled was still only the tip of the iceberg. Besides, he saw nothing but the smelly domestic garbage!

Tan Xiaohui said: "Look at this, don't even think about going to bed tonight." Gao Yuan said: "Why don't you go back to sleep, I'll just turn over here." Tan Xiaohui said: "This is my family's business, how dare I leave you alone Leave it here and leave it alone! I'd better do the logistics service, are you thirsty? I'll go back and get some tea."

After a while, Tan Xiaohui came over with tea, Gao Yuan drank a few sips, and started working hard again.Tan Xiaohui stood aside to help watch, lest she miss something.At first, I felt that time passed really slowly, but Gao Yuan gradually became sleepy, and his movements became mechanically numb.He rummaged through the garbage there with a shovel, and suddenly looked at his phone, it was already two o'clock in the morning.Looking at the rubbish on the ground, he has turned over about one-third of it.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came in outside, Gao Yuan said: "Excuse me, are you—" The man said: "I am the cleaner here." Tan Xiaohui had a flash of inspiration and said: "We threw a plastic bag by mistake. , there are cash, shopping cards and some jewelry in it, did you find it when you cleaned up the trash?"

The cleaner said without hesitation: "I didn't find it." Gao Yuan said: "How do you clean up the garbage?" The cleaner said: "I will pick out cardboard boxes, cardboard and other paper things to sell for money, and throw the rest on the ground." Now, I don’t think you need to look for it anymore, there can’t be anything you’re looking for on the ground.” Gao Yuan said, “Where are the waste papers you collected? Can you let me see, maybe you missed it?”

The cleaner opened a small door in the garbage room, where he rested.Pointing to the corner of the wall, he said, "I have collected those bundles today, you can look through them yourself." Gao Yuan opened one of the bundles and looked through it carefully. There was a love letter received by the little girl in it. For whatever reason, the marriage certificate, graduation certificate, and family income and expenditure records were discarded... but there was nothing lost by the Tan family.

Gao Yuan opened another bundle, but still found nothing. Finally, after opening four or five bundles, only the last bundle was left. Tan Xiaohui clasped his hands together and begged, "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless..." Gao Yuan opened the last bundle, flipped through the When he was in the middle, he found an envelope with the words of the Pengxi City Health Bureau written on it. Tan Xiaohui's eyes lit up and she said, "That's the envelope from my mother's work unit, open it and have a look!"

Gao Yuan opened the envelope, and saw a stack of cards inside. When he pulled it out, he saw that they were all shopping cards!Both of them cheered with joy!It turned out that the cleaners did not sort carefully enough and bundled the envelopes and shopping cards as paper.The two continued to browse, and found several envelopes one after another, which contained banknotes and gold and silver jewelry. Tan Ma put them all in the envelope, and the two were overjoyed, but the pair of jade bracelets were still missing. trace.

Seeing that they were about to finish the bundle of things, just when the two of them were about to despair, another envelope appeared, Gao Yuan opened it, and the pair of jade bracelets were in sight!

Gao Yuan said: "Junior Sister, I found a dowry for you!"

Tan Xiaohui suddenly said: "In the end it's not yours!"

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized: it's time to make a decision.

He knew that it would be a difficult choice.
