After leaving the factory, Su Xiaoxue did not go home directly, but went to the market.

She first went to the pharmacy to buy more targeted medicine for her father, and then went to look at the streets around the market.

Now that we have entered the era of individual economy, most people in small towns are still relatively conservative. They think that self-employment is a capitalist mentality and are unwilling to do it.

The streets are wide and most of the shops are state-owned, with only a few selling things they brought from the countryside.

She turned around, checked the situation, and then rode her bike back.

With the experience from her previous life, she believed that it would be easier and more generous to make money in this life.

By the time she got back, the sun was starting to set.

She only brought back two prescriptions, no more.

Su Lingling just came out of the yard and saw her pushing her bicycle. She asked in confusion, "Where have you been?"

Su Lingling looked at him warily, as if she was afraid that Zhao Ming would let Su Xiaoxue snatch it away.

Su Xiaoxue pointed in the direction of the village entrance and said, "I went to buy medicine for my dad. What's wrong?"

"Oh it's all right."

Su Xiaoxue nodded, then put the medicine at home and returned the car to Xiaofang.

Xiaofang curiously asked her, "What did you buy when you went out?"

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "I bought medicine for my dad."

Xiaofang nodded in understanding. Just then her eyes caught sight of Su Lingling not far away. She pulled Su Xiaoxue to the side before asking.

"Xiaoxue, I heard that you two are dating and have a good relationship? Are you going to get married? The deputy director of the factory in the county?"

Naturally, everyone in this small village knew about the Su sisters' blind date.

Their village was on the outskirts of the county town, not too far from the town, and they had heard a thing or two about the people in the factory.

In addition, Su Lingling was afraid that something might happen to Su Xiaoxue, so she had already spread the news of Su Xiaoxue and the deputy director of the factory in the village.

Su Xiaoxue nodded, "Well, it's good to see each other."

"Just one visit, is that enough?" Xiaofang was still worried. "Although the conditions are right and it's almost done, I heard that the factory director is not young anymore and has several children. If you marry him, won't you be a stepmother?"

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "This is not a stepmother. After all, he didn't marry a wife before. Besides, I have met him. He is a nice guy. According to the city people, he is a gentleman and polite. Regardless of his family background and appearance, he is good."

Xiaofang had never met Qin Chi and didn't know what kind of person he was. She only heard about his age and the fact that he had children at home, so she was worried about her good friend.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxue was sure, she asked some more detailed questions. Only after she was sure that Su Xiaoxue had thought it over carefully did Xiaofang feel relieved.

"It's good if the person is good. Money is not important. The most important thing is that the person is good and treats you well."

"Ok, I know."

"So when are you planning to get married?" Xiaofang asked again, "Since their family is well-off, let them give you more gifts so that you can look good and not let people look down on you. I heard this morning that your sister wants three turns and one ring, plus twelve legs and two hundred yuan in cash. Can the Zhao family give that?"

Zhao Ming's home is in a nearby village, less than an hour's walk away, which is quite close, so everyone knows each other.

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Since they want it so much, the Zhao family should be able to give it to them, right?"

Zhao Ming's family conditions were not good, but in the countryside, they were not too bad either.

In her previous life, Su Xiaoxue didn't ask for much, but in fact, with what Su Lingling asked for, if they gritted their teeth, they should be able to do a lot.

As for whether the Zhao family would give it to her, she didn’t know. This matter had little to do with her anyway.

As for her and Qin Chi, Su Xiaoxue also told Xiaofang that they might get married as soon as possible.

"Is it urgent?" Xiaofang asked, holding Su Xiaoxue's hand, a little reluctant, "Don't be too anxious, you can get married by the end of the year!"

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "It's okay. It's settled anyway. It doesn't matter if it's early or late. We can settle down sooner or later."

Xiaofang nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait to drink at your wedding and ask the groom to give me a big red envelope, otherwise I won't let you get married."

Su Xiaoxue smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xiaofang is Su Xiaoxue's best friend. In her previous life, everyone said that her life would be getting better and better after she married Zhao Ming, but no one cared that the smile on her face was getting less and less. Although they only saw Xiaofang a few times a year, they were always worried that she was not living well, and told her to tell her if she had any problems and not to keep them in her heart.

But she was not the kind of person who liked to complain, and Xiaofang was not having a good time at that time, so she didn't want to make her good friend worry.

-

Perhaps Su Lingling was afraid that the night would be too long and things would get more complicated, so the next day, matchmaker Wang brought people from the Zhao family to the house to formally propose marriage and discuss matters such as the bride price and the wedding.

The Zhao family had no objection to the twelve legs. After all, it was not as many as thirty-two legs. The twelve legs were a bed, a wardrobe, and a dressing table.

However, these twelve legs, plus a three-turn and one-ring machine, and two hundred dollars in cash are too much. I can understand it for a bicycle sewing machine, or even a semiconductor radio.

But I don't think it's necessary to buy this watch.

The Zhao family said that they could not come up with so much money, and they would either have three turns and one ring, or two turns and one ring, plus twelve legs.

And this is something the Zhao family can only do with great effort.

When the Su family's uncle and aunt heard this, they were unhappy.

The eldest aunt of the Su family replied directly, "My precious daughter gave up a better family and married into your family because she was attracted by the character of Ah Ming. You have to show us your sincerity, right?"

The eldest uncle of the Su family also nodded, "Yes, Lingling has been our baby since she was a child. We don't give this betrothal gift for ourselves, but for the sake of the child. We will bring it back in the future!"

Zhao's mother looked embarrassed. She looked at Zhao Ming, then at Su's uncle and his wife.

Seeing this, Su Lingling pulled her mother's clothes and said in a low voice, "Mom, it's okay."

But her mother waved her hand away, signaling her not to speak.

But in the end, it was because of Su Lingling that the betrothal gift was reduced to three yuan and one ring, and then one hundred yuan in cash!

When Su Xiaoxue found out, they had already discussed it, sent the person out, and agreed on the follow-up matters.
