"You can do whatever you want. I will definitely not force you to do anything you don't want to do." Zhao Xue looked around and saw that no one was pulling Xue Ming to a tree.

He raised his head and said seriously, "My salary is fifty yuan a month, and there is a 10 yuan subsidy for outstanding teachers. Plus your salary will definitely be enough for our living expenses."

"My salary is only twenty yuan, and I'm not as good at tying the two of you up as you are." Xue Ming gave her a thumbs up and thought it would be better to fight appropriately.

At least he gets a monthly salary of fifty yuan. If a husband's salary is not as high as his wife's, he will be looked down upon by others, and he will look like a freeloader, although there is no shame in being a freeloader.

The two came outside the school gate. Xue Ming stopped and stared into Zhao Xue's eyes. "How will you deal with your relationship with Xue Yuan in the future? I want to hear the truth."

"The truth is, I treat Xiao Yuan as my biological son. I, Zhao Xue, will never treat Xue Yuan harshly to Tianfa." Zhao Xue slowly raised her right hand.

Xue Ming smiled and touched her head, "I believe you, go back to class quickly, I will go to your house to propose marriage in a few days."

It is said that children with a stepmother are like weeds that anyone can step on. Xue Yuan has both a stepmother and a stepfather. It would be difficult for him to live in other families.

Ten days later was the day to propose marriage. Xue Ming put on a brand new suit, and his mother also put on a satin and embroidered dress that was only worn for a few days during the Chinese New Year.

When the mother and son were about to leave for the matchmaker's house, the postman came to deliver a telegram. It was a telegram sent by Tang Sicheng from the capital.

"Is it Xiaoyuan's telegram? What did it say?" Liu Yuee was suddenly very excited. It had been almost a month since Xue Yuan followed Tang Sicheng to the capital.

"Xue Yuan has enrolled in school, please don't read it, Brother Xue." The content of Xue Yuan's telegram early next year was short and concise. This year, telegrams were charged based on text.

"That's good, that's good." Liu Yue'e's eyes turned red and she was about to cry.

The current means of communication are letters and telegrams. Xue Ming had written several letters and sent two telegrams before, but he never received a reply.

"Mom, don't feel bad. Today is my eldest brother's happy event." Xue Ling felt unhappy.

"I don't feel bad. It's a good thing that Xiaoyuan is studying in the capital. It's not too late for me to be happy. Let's go to your aunt's house." Liu Yue turned around and wiped her tears secretly.

Xue Ming didn't feel much when Xue Yuan was at home before. As soon as he left, everyone began to miss him. Sometimes he really wanted to go to the capital to bring Xue Yuan back.

The three of them rode to Zhao Shufen's house with gifts. Xue Ming handed two and two packs of Double Happiness cigarettes to Zhao Shufen's husband Wang Zhanshan, "I'll leave it to my uncle to take care of today."

"Don't worry, uncle will definitely do something nice for you." Wang Zhanshan smiled from ear to ear, put two packs of cigarettes in his pocket and set off with a large group of people.

Matchmakers are one of the three aunts and six wives. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, people wanted to overthrow the three aunts and six wives, so the task of matchmaking was given to men. Wang Zhanshan took over the matchmaking job to relieve his wife's worries.

The Zhao family was also crowded, and all the close relatives and friends came. Xue Ming saw Old Liu, the principal of No. [-] Middle School, and many celebrities in suits and Chinese tunic suits.

Zhao Xue wore a brand new white tuxedo and had smooth shawl hair, standing in the crowd like a pure angel.

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Xue. Come in and have a sip of hot tea." Zhao Qinghong, whose face was glowing, pulled Xue Ming into the house.

"Sister-in-law, Sister Liu, let's go to the backyard to talk." Qin Fengru was also very happy and took a group of women and children to the backyard to leave the main hall to the men.

"We sisters go to the backyard to chat." Zhao Shufen took a basket from the gift, which was filled with melon seeds, fruit candies and toffee. The children in the room immediately surrounded her.

"Big girl, let's satisfy the children first." Zhao Dingkai said with a kind smile.

Zhao Shufen immediately asked the children to line up, and the little boy at the front opened the pocket on his coat.

Zhao Xue grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in, then gave him four fruit candies and four toffee candies. The little boy grinned happily and said, "Thank you, sister. Sister looks really good today."

Laughter rang out in the room. Zhao Xue gave melon seeds and candies to the children one by one, and the air suddenly became quiet.

Xue Ming knew that Mr. Zhao was showing off to everyone that his granddaughter had found a wealthy and enterprising husband. Milk candies and melon seeds were in high demand these days.

The guests were really shocked. Although they were all civil servants and working class people, they were reluctant to buy so many candies and melon seeds at once.

After distributing the candies, Zhao Dingkai glanced at the gifts on the table and said, "Big girl, Feng Ru, please put these betrothal gifts away."

The old man emphasized the word betrothal gift, and Zhao Shufen understood it and gave her husband a wink.

"Dad, I'll submit the gift list and ask you to see if it suits you." Wang Zhanshan straightened his back and took out the list of betrothal gifts and read it aloud.

"A gold necklace, a pair of gold earrings, a pair of imperial green jade bracelets, and ten gold star pens."

These are all luxury goods. The nib of the Venus gold pen is made of gold. It sells for 15 yuan in department stores.

Wang Zhanshan continued reading, "A brown bear fur coat, a satin, a khaki, a tuxedo, two pairs of leather shoes. Six pounds of wild deer antlers, six pounds of bird's nests, six hens, six hares, and sixty pounds of pork. , six hundred and sixty-six kilograms of polished rice."

The rice harvest in Xue Ming's space is another bumper harvest. There are [-] kilograms of polished rice in the granary. Xue Ming is worried about what to do with it.

Wang Zhanshan handed the betrothal gift list to Zhao Dingkai with both hands, "Dad, the Dalian Second Company has gone to my house to pull rice. It will be here soon."

There was silence in the room, and the guests were stunned. Oh my God, the Zhao family has caught a golden son-in-law, right?

Zhao Qinghong's eyes widened, Qin Fengru couldn't believe this was true, and Zhao Xue's mind went blank.

"Xue Ming, how do you ask the Zhao family to repay the gift?" Zhao Dingkai, who had experienced many battles, was also excited. This betrothal gift is too expensive.

"Old man, things have a price, but people have no price. In my opinion, these things are not as good as a human hair." Xue Ming replied very sincerely.

The room burst into laughter instantly. Zhao Xue turned around with a red face and ran to the backyard. This wave of dog food fed everyone.

During the three difficult years, Xue Ming made some small money by reselling space grains, and he took advantage of half of his savings to wash them away in advance.

After getting married, Xue Ming must be the head of the family. These things are just transferred from the left hand to the right hand.

Zhao Dingkai chuckled, "Comrades, don't look at my grandson-in-law's young age. He is the best hunter in the province, but I didn't expect that he could make such a big fortune by hunting."

This is to explain to Xue Ming, and at the same time, it also helps to launder this property. This is also the result that Xue Ming wants.

Qin Fengru took a group of women to the backyard to carry the betrothal gift. It won't be long before the news of this beautiful engagement spread throughout the provincial capital.

"Qinghong, introduce everyone here to Xue Ming, so that we can talk to each other when we meet in the future." Zhao Dingkai decided to reciprocate the favor.
