Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1120 Make the bride price decent

Just after the Lantern Festival, on the morning of the [-]th of the first lunar month, Ji Chen was hired by his second uncle, Ji Shengying, and his uncle and grandfather.There are two layers of bamboo baskets on a donkey cart.

Although it is a bit shabby to use bamboo baskets for employment, it is common in farmhouses, but they are usually carried or carried, and it is decent to use donkey carts.

The old Fang's house set off firecrackers to welcome the recruits, and the neighbors came to watch.

Although everyone is curious about how Fang Yingchun will be able to marry after the new year after taking her home. Knowing that it is a foreigner's family sponsor, they think it is understandable. Not willing to fall behind.

It's not easy for a female family member to take a dowry gift, so they can only wait for Ji Chen's uncle and nephew to bring the baskets into the yard before the Fang family step forward to take them and open them for inspection.

Four boxes of gold noodles, four boxes of silver noodles, two pairs of jade bracelets, two small boxes containing small pearl and hairpin jewelry, and eight large suitcases that are always prepared for betrothal gifts are also packed in bamboo baskets.

Although there are not many of these, given Ji Chen's family background, he did his best, and Fang Xiaofu was able to estimate the value of the dowry. Ji Chen must have borrowed at least 200 taels of silver from his uncle's grandfather's family.The rest is my savings.

If he didn't marry the daughter of the Fang family, he definitely didn't need so much dowry, and he could barely get married with his own savings, but they knew the situation of the Fang family, and they were already trying their best to make the dowry decent.

Therefore, the Fang family will not be disgusted, but moved.

However, when the bottom wooden box in the last basket was opened, everyone let out an exclamation.

"These two are old mountain ginseng, right?" Fang Xiaofu's eyes widened. Although these two ginsengs have many beards, they are not too thick, and the age should not be too old, but such ginseng will not be too cheap in medicine shops.

"Although it can't be called an old name, it's been more than ten years at least." Fang Zizhan came back to his senses and said quickly, "I saw it in Mr. Wang's medicine house, and it cost at least 200 taels to sell it at the Ping An Medical Center in the town. Above—one!"

In other words, there are more than 400 taels of these two ginseng.

Of course, if it is sold to participating merchants who receive the goods, it will never be sold at this price, and it is not bad if it can be sold for 50 taels.Fang Zizhan was talking about the market of the medical clinic, which undoubtedly set the value of these two ginsengs.

Ji Chen's uncle and nephew looked at Fang Zizhan gratefully, but they didn't think it was cowhide, because ginseng was not buns in the first place, and the street prices were similar.

The people watching Fang Zizhan can choose not to believe Fang Zizhan's words, but no one dares to say what they don't believe.Because Fang Zizhan used to be Wang Langzhong's drug boy, of course what he said was true.

So after thinking about it, they all talked about Ji's family's intentions, and Fang Yingchun was blessed.

Fang Yingchun hid in the room and looked out the window with a small slit, and was very happy to hear everyone's voices. She had never been so decent in her age.

Even if she was taken home this time and put on beautiful clothes and expensive jewelry, she still felt insecure and felt that everything was unreal.

But the present dowry gifts are all sent by her husband's family, and everyone's praises are her decency.She can get married off in style!
The old Fang's family entertained Ji Chen's uncle and nephew with poached eggs in sugar water. Fang Zhicheng and the old man accompanied the guests in person, which made Ji Chen's uncle and nephew deeply feel the kindness and enthusiasm of the woman's family.

And Fang Zizhan quietly pulled his uncle and grandpa out of the house, talked about sending Fang Yingchun to Ji's house until he got married, and talked about several considerations in the corner of the kitchen.

"With this arrangement, there will be no harm to Yu Jichen's family, Yu Yingchun herself, or Yu Dazayuan." The uncle agreed as soon as he heard it, and could understand their consideration.

"It's not easy to buy land in Beiji Village, but we should buy as much as possible, no matter how much it is." Fang Zizhan felt a headache thinking about buying land.

In fact, the best place to buy and sell is farmland. The farmland of ordinary people is the lifeblood of feeding a family. Who wants to sell it out if they have nothing to do?It was a loophole to let my grandfather buy the land of Liu Zhixin's house, and the price was too high.

"I've been asking about this. Only the Beikou family of the village will move to the county this year to join their son-in-law. There are five or six acres of land they want to release. I have already negotiated with them."

"Five or six mu is five or six mu, it's better than no mu." Fang Zizhan laughed.

The uncle and grandpa also talked about the fact that Ji Chen's family built a side courtyard in the side courtyard at the beginning of the new year.

Compared with the betrothal gift, building a side courtyard really doesn't cost much money, just some bricks and tiles, and the wood is available in the forest.

The craftsmen didn't need to invite them. Their relatives, friends, and Faxiao from the village all came to help, and they didn't even need to worry about the meals. They just said that they would drink warm house wine after the construction was completed.

The troubled Ji Chen is finally getting married, so of course everyone has to lend a helping hand.

Originally, Ji Chen's mother wanted to give him away, so as not to drag him down.Although there is no separation now, but building another side courtyard is still afraid of dragging him down, at least try not to let the bride dislike him.

It stands to reason that Ji Liu, the sister-in-law who has been working hard for the family, is qualified to complain, but the old Fang family has already found Ji Shan an easy and profitable job in Wuziqiu. She is so happy that she wants to sing every day. Dissatisfied?
Ji Shan has already gone to Wuziqiu to report to Wuziqiu under the leadership of his eldest cousin. The second grandfather who is in charge of personnel management took him around and told him the current situation of Wuziqiu and the situation of several major workshops, so he was asked to go to Wuziqiu today. work.

This month is actually only half a month, and the wages can only be counted as half, but there is a New Year's red envelope for one tael of silver, which is not bad.

Ji Shan had a job, and his spirits were revived, so he dared to borrow 200 taels of silver from his uncle's grandfather's house, and he would pay it off in one year.

No matter how much the Fang family's dowry is, it is impossible to use other people's dowry to repay this debt, and it is also his wages to pay it back.

After hearing this, Fang Zizhan felt more and more that the people in this brother-in-law's family were very honest and honest, and that the in-laws had found the right one.

After Ji's family left, the old Fang's family put away the dowry and began to draw up a dowry list, and prepare the dowry according to the list.

The next morning, Fang Zhicheng sent Fang Yingchun to Beiji Village, and dragged a cart of fabrics there.

Fang Xiaofu taught her to ask her uncle and grandma to find an excuse to let her aunt, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law come over to get to know each other, and then ask about the situation of everyone in Ji Chen's family. The new clothes made this way are more suitable for her, and she will be happier .

By the way, it can also show Fang Yingchun's virtuousness, which serves multiple purposes.

Fang Liu could only nod her head when she heard this, and kept saying, "Your sister-in-law is right!"

Fang Xiaofu almost burst out laughing in his heart, the mother who was a mess back then was unhappy with her in every possible way, but now she has almost become her little fan.

On the morning when Fang Yingchun arrived at the old man's house, Ji Chen's sister-in-law rushed over to borrow soy sauce, but as soon as the sister-in-law came in, the younger sister-in-law came to find her, and after lunch, the second aunt came to return the soy sauce.

And the two younger brothers also passed by the door once, twice...
