Last night, the Zhao family discussed for a long time, and finally negotiated a charter and set two requirements for Jiang Zhen.
First of all, Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu will definitely let Zhao Jinge retire. Although Zhao Jinge is a twin, they have only one child after all.
Secondly, they planned to ask for 10 taels of silver for the betrothal gift. Of course, Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu's husband and wife did not take the 10 taels of silver, but they were given to Zhao Jinge as a dowry at the bottom of the box... They did this mainly for the sake of Zhao Jinge. a guarantee.
As for other things, they don't have any requirements, even if Jiang Zhen doesn't want to invite people to have a wedding wine, it's okay, anyway, there are not many relatives in the Zhao family, so they can invite people to have a drink by themselves.
In fact, they are a little unsure about making such two demands... They want to let Zhao Jinge retire, so logically they can't ask for any more betrothal gifts.
But the matter of getting married is to be discussed, they don't mention anything, maybe it will make Jiang Zhen feel that Zhao Jinge is upside down...
In the end, Zhao Fugui decided to ask for it to be mentioned first, and then the big guys would discuss it slowly.
They made a decision and felt a lot more relaxed. They got up early in the morning and waited for Jiang Zhen to come to the door.
result…
Zhao Fugui and Zhao Jinge waited all morning without going to work, but Jiang Zhen didn't come. Zhao Liu waited too anxiously to ask Sun Xiaoshan's eldest son Wang Yuer, only to find out that Jiang Zhen was I went to the county to do some shopping.
It seems that Jiang Zhen attaches great importance to the proposal of marriage... The Zhao family continued to wait like this, and then waited for Jiang Zhen with chickens and ducks.
Zhao Liu: "..."
Forget it, Jiang Zhen was alone, without his parents to help him. It would be nice if he could remember to bring something with him when he proposed marriage.
Zhao Liu let Jiang Zhen into the house. As for Wang Haisheng, he was not a relative, so he put down the burden and insisted on leaving without entering the house.
"Father, mother, I'm here to propose marriage today. I hope you will marry Jin Ge'er to me." Jiang Zhen said very seriously.
Zhao Liu had always been a little afraid of Jiang Zhen before, but now Jiang Zhen looked very peaceful, but she couldn't get up, and even burst into tears because of Jiang Zhen's words.
Her golden brother, someone has come to propose a kiss! This Jiang Zhen is more sincere than Li Zugen.
The Li family said it nicely, and kept saying that they really came to propose marriage, but in fact? They came to the door so many times without even bringing the onions!
"Okay, okay..." Zhao Liushi wiped her tears and nodded again and again. She wanted to make a request immediately, but she didn't know what to say, so she was so stunned.
Jiang Zhen actually didn't know what to do or say at this time, but he was impatient, so he simply took out the things in the burden he was carrying: "Daddy, I bought something."
The first thing Jiang Zhen took out was the wrapped rouge and the bracelet. When he found out that he actually brought a silver bracelet, Zhao Liu was a little more satisfied with him.
Knowing to buy rouge jewelry for her family's brother Jin, Jiang Zhen seems to be really interested in brother Jin.
But... isn't this bracelet a little small? Brother Jin's wrist is a bit thick, so a small bracelet can't fit in...
Zhao Liushi was a little tangled, and Jiang Zhen gave him the rouge and the bracelet: "Mother, this is for you."
for your own? Zhao Liushi is even more puzzled, this proposal... but there is no reason to buy things for my mother-in-law... Of course, this year's betrothal gift has been tacitly given to her-in-law's mother-in-law.
"Father, I bought you some wine, and I don't know if you like it or not." Jiang Zhen put the meat on the table and gave Zhao Fugui a jar of wine.
Zhao Fugui has been stern since he hit Jiang Zhen to enter the door, but Jiang Zhen sent a jar of wine, but he couldn't help but smile.
Finally, Jiang Zhencai gave the fabric to Zhao Jinge: "Brother Jin, I bought some more cloth. It is said that I can make four clothes. You can make two clothes yourself, and you can also make one for your parents."
Zhao Jinge took the cloth and was speechless. Although it was a bit strange to give Zhao Liu's rouge jewelry and such a gray cloth to himself, he was still very happy.
"I'm going to start a small business, and I want to save some capital, so I don't buy many things." Jiang Zhen gave a gift and explained again, but he didn't mention those chickens and ducks - let the Zhao family raise chickens and ducks. We're done talking.
The Zhao family listened to Jiang Zhen's words, but they started to think.
Jiang Zhen said so, did he not want to give a dowry? But this is not impossible. The things he bought and the bracelets cost six or seven taels of silver.
"There are still 10 taels of silver here, you can use them." Jiang Zhen took out another 10 taels of silver to Zhao Liushi. He knew that the Zhao family had no money. Before, Zhao Jinge gave all his belongings to himself. They estimated that Even more money, but to do a wedding, it must cost money.
He didn't want to worry about the marriage, but he couldn't let the Zhao family not even kill a happy pig, that would be too wronged Zhao Jinge.
The Zhao family did not expect that Jiang Zhen would also give a dowry gift.
It's just that we still have to talk about retirement...
"Jiang Zhen, there is something else I want to tell you. We have a child with Brother Jin now, so in the future, we will let Brother Jin give us the care and death." Zhao Fugui said. The villagers place great importance on the matter of old age and death, and even feel that if no one is to send him to the funeral, he will suffer in the underworld after death.
So some people are too poor to have a son.
"This is as it should be. You have given birth to Brother Jin, and of course we will give you the end of life." Jiang Zhendao. Zhao Fugui and his wife raised Zhao Jinge, of course, Zhao Jinge will give them old age and death, there is no doubt.
Speaking of which, if Jiang's butcher and his wife were a little bit nicer to Boss Jiang, he wouldn't do that.
Jiang Zhen agreed with one bite, and the Zhao family was even more happy, and the more they looked at Jiang Zhen, the more they liked it.
This Boss Jiang was so fierce before, there must be a reason, he is obviously a good negotiator.
"Don't worry, we are still working on it now. You don't need to raise it. If you have a child, we can still help bring it up." Zhao Liushi said, she was suddenly full of hope for the future. When she thought of being able to take care of her grandson, the whole People suddenly feel much better.
"Yes, that's it, I'll be fine for another ten years." Zhao Fugui also said.
"And this dowry, don't worry, we will let Brother Zhao Jin take it there. I saved some money, and Brother Jin should have some. We can buy acres of land for Brother Jin as a dowry, so that you can have a good time in the future. It's better." Zhao Liushi said again.
"Wait..." Jiang Zhen interrupted Zhao Liu's words.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Liu asked, doesn't Jiang Zhen want to buy land
"This is not a dowry, it's a dowry." Jiang Zhen said domineeringly: "I will come to your house to live in the future, I will give you the dowry first, and you can buy some things... It's good to buy land, no matter what. No."
Both Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu were stunned, suspecting that they had heard it wrong.
Didn't Jiang Zhen come to propose marriage? How could he bring... a dowry
Such a domineering person, who said that it was his dowry, really made them feel strange...
"You said... you want to come to my house to live?" Zhao Liushi asked in disbelief.
"That's right, haven't you always wanted to hire a son-in-law? What do you think of me? Actually, I've wanted to come to your house for a long time, but I didn't dare to say it before." Jiang Zhen said.
Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi only felt that they were stunned by the pie falling from the sky.
Before they saw Jiang Zhen bring so many things, they thought that it was not bad for Zhao Jinge to marry Jiang Zhen, but as a result... Jiang Zhen was actually willing to join the family
This... this... their Zhao family has a daughter? Will they be able to hold grandchildren in the future
Zhao Liushi suddenly cried, and he cried louder and louder. Zhao Fugui wanted to laugh a little, but he twitched the corner of his mouth but did not laugh, his expression was extremely strange.
They were all so pleasantly surprised.
Zhao Jinge looked at Jiang Zhen in shock while holding the cloth. At first, when Jiang Zhen had not left Jiang's house, he thought about letting Jiang Zhen into his family, but he didn't think so afterward. …
"Ahem, how can I use a dowry, I don't need it." Zhao Fugui took the money from Zhao Liu's hand and gave it to Jiang Zhen.
Zhao Liushi was stunned for a moment, and she had to return the bracelet after wiping away her tears—if Jiang Zhen is willing to join the family, they should give Jiang Zhen a dowry gift, and they should buy something for Jiang Zhen, how can Jiang Zhen break the cost
"Okay, you can just keep it!" Jiang Zhen pushed around impatiently, frowning: "How will the marriage come about, you can figure it out, I have no opinion."
When Jiang Zhen spoke so loudly, Zhao Liushi didn't dare to return the bracelet, but looking at Jiang Zhen's eyes, it became extremely kind: "Don't worry, we will definitely handle this marriage decently." She must be It will make the marriage look glamorous and make Jiang Zhen also have face.
"It's fine in general, we don't have much money now." Jiang Zhendao, the little money he made, is now spent again...
"Yes, we don't have much money right now, so we should save it." Zhao Liushi said, and immediately changed his mind. The good looks are not good for life. If they have money, they might as well save up to buy land, so that they can leave it to Jin Ge'er's children, and then give them to Jin Ge'er's grandson in the future...
"Okay, let's go eat." Zhao Fugui said with a red face.
Although Zhao Liu cooked all the meat yesterday, but later he specially reserved a few meat dishes, and used it to entertain Jiang Zhen today.
She used to think that she had done a good job and the food was well prepared, but now...
Zhao Liushi regretted it very much. She shouldn't have cooked that meat yesterday, so that it can be all fresh vegetables today!
"I'm going to get two more dishes." Zhao Liu stood up and said, planning to buy some eggs to fry.
"Mother, no need, I can't finish eating any more." Jiang Zhen called out to Zhao Liushi.
"Hey, it's fine." Zhao Liushi sat down cheerfully. Why did she feel that Jiang Zhen's calling her mother was scary yesterday? How nice it sounds!
The family eats together happily.
Jiang Zhen was already hungry, and he was not polite to others. He ate two big bowls of rice in one go. If it was before, maybe Zhao Liushi would secretly despise him for eating too much when he saw him eating like this, but now he wants him to eat more, and he keeps putting the meat into his bowl: "You Eat more, don't be polite... Alas, you cooked by yourself a few days ago, it's too hard, come to our house to eat later."
Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge are also engaged, and for them, it is normal for the two families who are engaged to move around, and it is okay for Jiang Zhen to come to eat.
Jiang Zhen thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
He would agree not because he was too lazy to cook, but simply because he wanted to improve the Zhao family's food.
He brought his own food and brought back some game every day, and he could also let the Zhao family eat better, which was good.
After a meal, the relationship between the family became much closer, and Jiang Zhen also stated the reason why he bought chickens and ducks: "I will catch some fish and snails when I have time in the future, and come back to feed the ducks, and wait for the ducks to grow up. Now, we can let them lay eggs and sell duck eggs, and we can sell them whole."
"Can this work? Can it be sold?" Zhao Liu was a little worried, because they basically raised their own food in their village.
"Yes, it can be sold." Zhao Fugui said immediately. He knew that as long as it was sent to the county seat, it would definitely be sold. At most, it would be slower to sell the land.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fugui felt a little embarrassed. Before Jiang Zhen got to their house, he helped them make a living. He never thought of these ways to improve their lives before...
However, they didn't have time to get fish and shrimp to feed the ducks before...
Jiang Zhen stayed at Zhao's house until it was dark before returning.
He actually didn't want to go back and wanted to stay overnight, but it was hard to get his husband and mother-in-law to like him. In the end, he decided to endure it for a while. Anyway, judging from the current situation of Zhao Fugui and his wife, he was eager to have his marriage with Zhao Jinge right away. of.
Obviously, he couldn't bear it for too long.
After Jiang Zhen left, Zhao Liu was very excited. Although it was getting dark, he still couldn't do it mentally.
She walked around the house, and then called Brother Zhao Jin, saying that she was going to the river to wash all the dirty clothes at home, and by the way, touched some snails and came back to feed the ducks.
In fact, there is no need to be so anxious... Brother Zhao Jin wanted to persuade his mother, but now he also wants to do something to calm down...
So, the two of them went to the river to wash their clothes.
Those who have been following the Zhao family have naturally seen this scene, as well as Zhao Liu's red and swollen eye sockets.
This... I don't know what Boss Jiang did to the Zhao family, Zhao Liu was crying so badly.
