Rebirth of the Nine-Three Era

Chapter 0196 The gift is too high

It takes a little farmer years and months to afford a car to show off.

When you were standing with him just now, you thought you were doing better than him and could overlook him. But now it seems like you are being laughed at.

He widened his eyes and said, "You guys are pretty good at it. Your father-in-law is a big boss and has opened a factory. He wants you to be the director of the factory, or do you want to marry him?"

This is the only reason that makes sense, to become the son-in-law of a wealthy boss, who happens to have no children except a precious daughter.

So the poor boy reached the sky in one step, and the car, house, and wife were all in one step.

He thought this must be the reason.

Lin Wanting said: "My dad is just a teacher at school, not a big boss."

Yin Yuan took out a business card from his pocket, handed it to him and said, "Come to me in Jiangming when you have time. I'm going to a printing shop to print out a few contracts. I'll come and chat with you when I have time."

I waved to him and drove away.

Liu Jinsheng looked at his business card, which said decoration company, building materials factory, construction company, building materials store...

Phone number, BB phone number, mobile phone number.

He stood still for a moment, then walked to the carport and pushed a motorcycle out.

At this time, Yin Yuan, who was in the car, said to Wanting: "The man just now is named Liu Jinsheng. He used to be a mining technician like me in Qishan Mine. His sister worked in the Luqi County Office Building, and she transferred him to work here because of her connections. In the past, He also boasted that if he was transferred, he could help me transfer to the County Cultural Bureau or the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. He said that I could paint at the level of a painter and work in the Cultural Bureau or the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Haha, I asked him on purpose just now. Does it still count?"

"How did he say?"

"He said that if he wanted to do it, it could be done, but it might cost some money. I asked him if two or three thousand would be enough, and he said it might cost five or six thousand."

"There is no need to spend money to transfer you here. I will arrange a leadership position for you. Do you want to take it?"

Yin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Without you, I might have done it. I could be a bureau-level cadre, be popular and drink spicy food. I usually go to work, read newspapers, read documents, and drink tea. The money is not much, but it is enough." The government also provides housing. This kind of comfortable and comfortable life is what many people yearn for. But now that I have you and your children, and Jiang Ming already has a career, why should I go back to my hometown and live such a backwater life. "

He found a printing shop and asked the boss to print out a few contracts. He paid the money and agreed to pick it up in two hours.

Yin Yuan suggested going to a department store to buy clothes.

His mother told him: "There are also several clothing stores in the Nanmen Market opposite the bus station. The private ones are cheaper than here in the department store. There are also shoe stores and other stores there."

Yin Yuan said: "Look around and buy the right ones when you find them."

He only helped pick up the goods, but Wanting and her mother made the final decision on what to buy.

He just blindly followed to pay and pick up things.

Soon my hands were full.

I bought thick cotton clothes, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, hats, scarves and gloves for my parents.

The water boots turned out to be among the labor protection supplies issued by Qishan Mine, and there were two new pairs, so he sent them home.

My mother kept saying: "There is no need to buy so many clothes. A rural old man and old lady can be warm enough. There is no need to pay so much attention."

Wanting also bought several sets of winter clothes and leather shoes for herself and Yin Yuan.

I bought several sets of clothes for my children, hats, shoes and socks...

Put things in the trunk of the car.

There was a gold and silver jewelry store nearby. Wanting and I went in to choose rings. My mother said you just go and buy them while I went shopping outside.

She was afraid that the two young people would be scrupulous about her presence.

As soon as Yin Yuan entered, he asked the waiter: "How much does a pair of the most expensive rings in your store cost?"

The clerk said: "The heaviest pair on the counter weighs 16.8 grams. If you still don't think it's grand enough, we have a master who can help you cast it on site, as big or small as you want. Last time, the boss of Ouyang Building brought his young wife When he came to buy a gold ring, he bought a 58-gram super-large and domineering ring, which he wore on his thumb like the jade plate worn by ancient princes. His wife also asked for a diamond to be carved into the ring. I remember buying it for more than 1 yuan. "

Wanting said: "Why are you so big? How can you do things with a ring like that?"

Yin Yuan asked the clerk to take a look at the pair of 16.8-gram rings.

I think the decorative patterns are good. The men’s ring is 10 grams and the women’s ring is 6.8 grams. The price is 1680 yuan.

The price of gold these days is 90 yuan per gram.

Yin Yuan was too lazy to negotiate the price with him, but they happened to make up a horoscope, which had a meaning.

"Just buy this."

Yin Yuan put on the ring for his wife on the spot, and her wife helped him put it on.

"I should have bought a pair of rings before I got married, but I delayed buying them until now because my mother reminded me. It shows that I am a very careless person."

Wanting said: "It doesn't matter whether you have a ring or not. Why do you pay so much attention to it?"

When they went outside, my mother saw rings on their hands, nodded and said: "You are not like our generation, where you have to pay attention to these things when your conditions are good. No matter how much money a person makes in his life, it is not to improve his life."

It was already noon.

Yin Yuan suggested: "If you're hungry, find a restaurant to cook a few dishes and eat until you're full."

My mother pointed to a small restaurant opposite and said, "That restaurant was opened by Sun Donglai's uncle. Sun Donglai worked as a chef in the hotel."

Yin Yuan saw that the restaurant of the hotel was full of guests. It must be because the taste was good that so many people came to support it.

The three of them walked in and found an empty seat to sit down. The waiter brought the menu and ordered a few dishes.

Mom turned around and chatted with Sun Donglai's parents sitting at the table next to them.

"Sister-in-law Sun, are you coming to the city today? Your son is very good at cooking. You see the restaurant business is so good."

"Sister-in-law Yin, you are here to eat too. The children you have raised are amazing. The whole village envies you and your family. Alas, it is difficult for my son to find a wife."

"Weren't we engaged? We should have married a new wife before now, right?"

Sun Donglai's mother sighed and said: "Girls nowadays are very difficult to talk to. They won't accept any less gift money, and they won't accept anything less than what they asked for. They don't even consider whether the man has the ability. Today is When the Li family's parents came to discuss the matter, they agreed on a date for welcoming the bride on the 29th, but now they have turned against them. Alas, it is a headache to meet such in-laws..."

Sun Donglai's father saw Li Yanping and her parents coming outside and quickly signaled to his wife to stop talking nonsense.

Zhou Yafei also saw Li Yanping and her parents coming over and nodded politely to them.

She felt like sitting here was interfering with their conversation.

He pointed to another dining table in the corner of the room and said to his son and daughter-in-law: "People are walking around here, let's go sit at that dining table."

It happened that the waiter brought two plates of fried vegetables over. He said, "Let's go to the table in the corner and bring them over there for us."

Although Yin Yuan moved his position, he could still clearly hear the conversation between Sun Donglai and his family.

"In-laws, it turns out that none of the things discussed on the gift list during the engagement were fully fulfilled. What's the matter? Do you think my family is easy to talk to? Or does my daughter have some bad reputation that has spread to your ears and you are starting to dislike her?" Li Yanping's mother is usually very talkative and speaks mercilessly.

"My mother-in-law, we don't have any dissatisfaction with Yanping. The main reason is that we are short of money and can't come up with so much money at the same time. I bought a computer as written on the gift list because the two young people will definitely have to work outside after getting married. Buying back a computer is also a waste, so I persuade them to buy a motorcycle so that they can ride it in the future. But Yanping said that buying a motorcycle would cost 2000 to [-] yuan, and she had to give her another [-] yuan. This was too much, right? ?”

Li Yanping said angrily: "It costs more than 2000 to buy a computer and only more than 8000 to buy a motorcycle. I saved you more than 4000. Even if I asked you to give me [-], you still took advantage. Let's take this incident as an example. ."

Sun Donglai's mother muttered: "The gift is only over 3000 yuan, and I haven't asked for a computer yet. The computer alone is more than 1 yuan. How many people can afford it? Buying a motorcycle for [-] to [-] yuan is not bad. I want to buy eight or nine thousand. Oh, don’t I have to live in the future? Besides, I have two other sons. In the future, they will spend so much money to get married like the eldest. It’s not like I’m going to break my two old bones and sell them. It’s possible to scrape together enough money.”

At this time, Li Yanping's father, who had been sitting silently for a long time, said coldly: "Since you don't want to pay for this, why did you agree when we were engaged and wrote the gift list? My daughter is considered to be both talented and beautiful in the village, and she is not alone. Those who want me, you start talking without saying anything without even entering the door, how can you make people feel at ease?"

Li Yanping stood up and said loudly: "Mom and Dad, don't talk too much nonsense to them. Whoever wants to get married will get married. Anyway, I won't get married. Let's go home..."

Sun Huiye, who had been silent until now, saw this and said humbly: "My parents-in-law, my mother-in-law, we have something to discuss. Don't leave, I have already ordered the food, and the food will be served soon. How can you leave without eating?"

At this time, Yin Yuan and others began to serve the dishes and began to eat.

Mom was still whispering to Yin and Yuan: "That Li Yanping, the Red Army also had a crush on her and asked me to ask the matchmaker, but she and her parents refused."

At this time, she wanted to tell the Li family: her two sons married with their own money, without spending a penny from their parents.

Moreover, the amount of money the two of them spent on the woman was several times higher than the gift bill you are talking about now.

Yin Yuan said: "Marriage is about fate, and it doesn't matter if it is fate or not. Just like me and Wanting, the same goes for Hong Bing and Yizhen."

Wanting said with a smile: "I was tricked by you. Only now do I know why you said you wanted to give me a bonus of 8000 yuan when I drew the prize at the Yuyang County Cultural Plaza."

"The ancients said that eating someone's mouth is soft, and taking advantage of others is short-handed. When you took my money, you changed your view of me from the bottom of your heart. What's more, I saved you several times later, so you slowly accepted me. Of course, if I can't change myself, it will be difficult for me to get together with you in the end. So I will try to improve my financial situation so that I can be worthy of you in all aspects, so that your parents can accept me. "

Wanting thinks he is right. He thinks things are so clear, and it is only a matter of time before he gets rich.

He is a person with a bright future in the future.

After lunch, we went to several shops in Nanmen Market to buy some things.

Business in each store is very good, and the store owners are busy and don't bargain with customers at all.

After walking around, I felt that there were many more newly opened shops in the county.

It seems that there are a lot more rich people.

Everyone packs big and small bags and buys a lot of annual goods.

Find a tobacco and alcohol store and buy enough tobacco, alcohol, melon seeds, candies, biscuits and other food.

I went to a fireworks store and bought fireworks...

Went to the printing shop to pick up the printed contract.

On the way back, heavy snow began to fall in the sky again. It was fluttering and the whole sky and earth were covered in gray. The surrounding mountain scenery looked poetic and picturesque.

If Yin Yuan wanted to paint the ancient city village in the snow scene, it must be a beautiful painting.

At this time, the big brother he put in Wanting's backpack rang.

Wanting answered the phone.

It turned out to be the call from Hongmei.

"Your brother drove the car, and we took mom to the county town to buy a few sets of clothes."

My mother knew that the call was from Hongmei and said, "This damn girl went to the boy's house to celebrate the festival without even telling her parents. She is really a bad girl."

Brother Wanting handed it to her mother and asked her to talk to Hongmei.

The big brother's signal was not that good, so Yin Yuan simply parked the car on the side of the road and let his mother talk to his sister.

"Mom, Pan Nianzu and I will go back to our house tomorrow to celebrate the New Year."

Mom said: "Since we have gone to Xiao Pan's house, let's spend the New Year with his parents before coming back."

Hongmei said: "I rented two rooms from the village for his parents. It's not easy for us to live here. It was Nianzu's parents who asked us to go there. We will go there by car tomorrow."

Mom said, just go back, will you not be allowed in?

When I got home, my father was holding a fire cage in his hand and watching TV in the living room with the door closed.

Hearing the sound of the car, he quickly came out and opened the courtyard door.

He also used a broom to clear a path for him at the door.

He went to the kitchen to get some charcoal and stove ashes, and added charcoal to several other fire cages.

Wanting was not used to mentioning this thing, but she did feel that her hands were cold. Even though she was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, the cold wind still penetrated through the corners of her clothes, making her feel cold.

As soon as I took the fire cage in my hand, warmth spread throughout my body instantly.

My mother praised the old man: "In such a cold weather, I thought you didn't know how to use a fire cage to warm yourself up?"

Dad said: "I'm not a fool. It's cold and I don't even know how to warm myself up by the fire."

He also said to Wanting: "Tingting, it has never snowed in Guangdong, and the lowest temperature will not exceed five or six degrees. Now it is already zero degrees here in my hometown today. You must be careful not to catch the wind and cold."

Wanting laughed and said, "I'm wearing so much. Yin Yuan turned on the heater in the car just now, and I didn't feel cold at all. Wow, this snow scene is really beautiful..."

Yin Yuan parked the car and found a drawing board, brushes, and various watercolor paints from the trunk.

I took a stand and headed out.

"Such a beautiful snow scene, I'll go outside and draw a picture of the snow scene."

Wanting said I want to go too, to watch you paint.

Both parents said: "It's still snowing outside and the wind is strong. Tingting shouldn't go!"

Wanting said: "I'm going to wear this newly bought down jacket. I put on the hat and only have one face. I also wear thick pants, so I won't feel cold at all."

My mother couldn't resist her, so she asked her to bring a fire cage and an umbrella.
