It can be said that the Zhou family has double happiness, because Zhou Man's worry and depression caused by being demoted and released suddenly dissipated a lot.
Everyone is happy to celebrate.
Thursday Lang asked Qian, "Mother, do you want to invite guests to celebrate, celebrate?"
Qian said: "Wait for Man Bao to come back and ask her."
After thinking for a while, Man Bao said: "There is no need to have a big banquet, just set up a few tables at home, just invite their husbands to the same table, or give them money and let them go out and have a good meal in a restaurant or hotel."
She said: "Although we asked for this release, we were demoted after all. It's better to keep a low profile. No matter what the inside story is, we still have an attitude."
Zhou Zhou Lang tilted his head, "What's the inside story?"
Oh, Zhou Zhoulang and the others didn't know these things. Man Bao thought about it, and felt that it was too troublesome to explain, so he said: "This matter is too long and complicated. In one sentence, our trip There is a purpose in letting it go, and we will still come back!"
Zhou Zhoulang: "... when will you come back?"
"Short three to five years."
Zhou Zhoulang felt a chill in his heart, "What about the length?"
"That's going to be too long," and if it meant that something they were about to do wasn't going well, who knew how long it would be
So she said: "It's long because I can't figure out how long it is."
Zhou Lang stopped talking.
Finally, the family gave the four of them a little money and asked them to go out and entertain their friends, classmates and husband by themselves.
And the family continued to prepare a dowry for Zhou Liru.
Tuesday Lang and Wednesday Lang arrived two days before the wedding, and they also brought Thursday Lang the tea he wanted.
The two said: "We went to find people according to what you wrote in the letter, but because you were not the one to go, they gave you less tea than you asked for, and because I had to rush to Beijing, I didn't go to any other tea merchants. I'm afraid your business this year will be smaller."
Zhou Zhoulang said indifferently: "It's okay, I will bring more food to the north this year."
He said: "Last winter, there were snow disasters in many places in the north. The most scarce thing there is food. Last year, Manbao's work field produced a lot of food, but it has not been sold. This time it happens to be transported to the north. , it’s too cheap to sell in the capital.”
Saturday Lang on the side said: "Remember to leave enough food for the restaurant."
Thursday Lang nodded.
Zhou Lijun on the side said: "I can only give you half of the credit when you pick up the food, and you have to settle the half of the bill first. My sister-in-law wants to let it out, so there must be a lot of money spent outside."
Neither Thursday Lang nor Saturday Lang had any objections.
Mrs. Qian was also talking about money with Lao Zhou, "The poor family is rich, they must buy a lot of things when they arrive in a new place, so bring more money, don't we save some money for Manbao? Clean up Take it all out for her, and we will add some more and let her take it, in case something happens, there will be a turnaround."
The old Zhou head should go down.
Mrs. Feng was checking Zhou Liru's dowry. Seeing that she had a lot of dowry, she was speechless and asked her quietly, "Your grandma and sister-in-law bought this for you?"
Zhou Liru nodded, but didn't tell her mother that most of it was the Liu family's betrothal gift, and then it was done with her savings over the years, some from her grandparents, and a lot from her sister-in-law, and then the makeup from her brothers and sisters...
Feng Shi was amazed when she saw it, and asked her, "Then who received the Liu family's dowry?"
When Zhou Lijun heard this sentence when he came in, he smiled with his mother, "Mom, most of the Liu family's betrothal gift was given to Liru as a dowry, and the rest was kept by grandparents."
She reached out to hug her arm, and asked with a smile: "Mother, what dowry did you prepare for the third sister, and show it to my daughter."
Feng said: "There is nothing good in Luojiang County, your father and I brought money and planned to buy it in the capital, but I just took a look and found that we have everything we need, and we can't add anything we want. "
She brought the subject back and asked, "Where's the dowry list from the Liu family? Show me."
Zhou Lijun: "... Mom, can you read?"
"Damn girl, I'm illiterate and you won't read to me, hurry up, let me see what dowry gifts are available."
Zhou Lijun went to get the gift list and showed it to her.
Feng didn't know the words on it, but just looking at the long list was enough to startle her, "There are so many, do rich families give so much dowry when they marry their wives?"
"Yes and no," Zhou Lijun said with a smile, "The things above are all affordable, which means that the Liu family values their younger sister."
There are two farms and two shops on it, all of which were sent back as a dowry. From now on, this part will be the private property of the young couple, and it will not be possible to divide this part. It can be seen that the Liu family is really planning for the two.
When Mrs. Feng heard that there were two farms and two shops above, she couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat. Zhou Lijun seemed to know what her mother was thinking. The rest of the grandmas will be added to the third sister's dowry."
Feng Shi sighed, she didn't dare to object to her mother-in-law.
Zhou Lijun hugged her and said with a smile: "Mother, the marriages of our three brothers and sisters are all over, and you have settled your mind. You will only enjoy happiness with us in the future. Why do you have to think so much?"
Feng thought so too, "Your uncle's family still has three undecided marriages, not to mention your third uncle, the fourth one is not engaged, and the fifth one is still young..."
After such a calculation, it is indeed their room that is the fastest and the most blessed.
Feng Shi became happy again, and asked Zhou Lijun in a low voice, "The second daughter-in-law hasn't done anything this year?"
Zhou Lijun: ... Well, this means that I don't want to enjoy life yet.
She said: "What's the rush? The most important thing in our family is a doctor. Not to mention the sister-in-law, there are also the sister-in-law and the third sister. They have all seen her younger siblings. She is in good health. She is also recuperating this year. You can get pregnant, but if you don’t, it’s probably a bicep problem, let my sister-in-law show it to him later?”
My sister-in-law is also famous for her infertility treatment.
Feng Shi yelled, nodded her forehead and said: "You swallowed coals today, and every time you open your mouth, you are angry. Did your brother provoke you?"
After Feng Shi left, Zhou Lijun said to Zhou Liru, "Liwei didn't mess with me, but I'm not very happy. After seeing your dowry, my mother stopped talking about adding a dowry to you."
Zhou Liru didn't care too much, "Second sister, my dowry is enough."
Zhou Liru has been with her sister-in-law in the capital since she was eight or nine years old. The memory of her parents is far away, and her relationship has naturally faded. She is closest to her sister-in-law and second sister, and her relationship with her parents may not be as good as that with her uncle and aunt. good.
After all, feelings are about getting along.
And her dowry is indeed enough, it's okay to have a little less.
But Zhou Lijun said: "Other people's share can be less, but parents' share can't, but you don't have to worry about it. If mother doesn't add more, father will definitely add more. You just wait."
