Chapter 97
According to the rules here in Shantun, when a girl gets married, her in-laws have to give a certain amount of dowry.
Generally, Donghe City would give around twenty dowry gifts, while Guashantun received more than ten or eight yuan.
Li Dongbao originally wanted some betrothal gifts, but he wasn't greedy for Shi Jingning's money, but if he didn't want a dime betrothal gift, it seemed like his family Chunlan was paying for it!
Seeing Li Dongbao's expression, Shi Jingning smiled slightly, "Of course, the bride price must be included. I have prepared a gift money of 160 yuan. What do you guys think?"
Hearing a puff, Grandpa Li spit out the tea he drank into his mouth and waved his hands in a panic, "Captain Shi, you can't mess around. If you give out such a high gift money, the villagers won't blame us. Sell your daughter!"
Shi Jingning was taken aback by these words, and he quickly figured it out, "Then it's 68 yuan. If it's less, I'm afraid Chunlan will be wronged!"
Grandpa Li hurriedly discussed with Li Dongbao, "How about this, you can just give 38 yuan, this is already one of the best gifts in Donghe!"
It has to be said that these few people agreed on the order of the dowry, but it was different from other families. Others were husbands' families desperately suppressing the dowry, and wanted to give less, but Shi Jingning was better, and always hated not giving enough!
"Alright then!" Shi Jingning agreed hesitantly.
"The betrothal gifts here can't be compared with those in big cities," Li Dongbao comforted Shi Jingning, "But there are few escorts, so you can keep the money and buy something for your little family after you get married!"
"You don't have to worry about this. I came to Gushantun to exercise on a temporary basis. The original time was three years. I have been in Gushantun for a year. If there are no accidents, our whole family will move out after two years." Shi Jingning talked about his plan,
"So I don't plan to clean up the new house, as long as it is enough to live in!"
Even though Shi Jingning said so, Li Dongbao still insisted on his opinion, "I didn't intend to ask for a bride price, but this is the way of life in Kaoshantun. If my family doesn't want it, Chunlan will be laughed at."
"I've already thought about it. I'll use the money to hold a wedding for you guys. At that time, you only need to entertain the guests!"
Several people were discussing, when footsteps came from the yard, it was Li Chunlan who came back after cleaning the kitchen.
The three of them shut up tacitly, and stopped talking about the bride price, but talked about the New Year's party broadcast in the semiconductor.
"It would be great if there was a screen on this gadget!" Grandpa Li said enviously, "Then we can see who is singing!"
Shi Jingning smiled: "Grandpa, what you were talking about was a TV set, and now there are already ones in the city, but there are relatively few TV programs, there are only two TV stations!"
The Li family's father and son had also heard of such a magical thing as television, so they became curious and began to ask Shi Jingning what a television was like.
"It's just this big, square and square, with a wooden shell on the outside," Shi Jingning gestured at the size of a nine-inch black and white TV set, "When it's turned on, there are sound and images, just like watching a movie!"
Li Dongbao exclaimed like a child: "Oh, that's terrible, that man is so big, how did he get into the TV?"
Regarding the working principle of the TV, Shi Jingning couldn't explain clearly either. At that time, I am afraid that only people with electronics majors could explain Li Dongbao's question.
