Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

Yao Yawen took it, opened it, and watched it with his wife and sister.

Betrothal gift: a black and white TV set; a Shanghai brand all-steel women's watch; a bicycle and a sewing machine; an electric fan; 46 legs (standing cabinets, kang cabinets, high and low cabinets, beds, tables, chairs, and benches...); clothes for all four seasons. set.

Gift money: 880 yuan.

Wedding banquet: Ten tables were set up in the canteen of the county locomotive depot.

Marriage room: Living with parents in Jingcheng, with a separate room.

Yao Yawen's heart skipped a beat when he saw the list of betrothal gifts.

The Song family is too generous.

All these things add up to several thousand yuan, right?

I heard that a black and white TV now costs more than 400 yuan.

Tickets are particularly difficult to obtain.

How much effort does this take?

With so many colorful gifts, how can their family not embarrass their daughter by giving her a dowry?

What Zhou Wenqiang was thinking at this moment was that if he didn't have a son, he wouldn't have a son. If he had a son, it would be useless. If he couldn't afford a wife, he would be cut off.

Yao Yaqin's eyes almost popped out.

She couldn't read all the words on the gift list, but she could clearly see the words "880 gift money".

Isn't the Xiao Song family too generous?

What kind of family is this?

"Sister-in-law, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?"

Seeing that few people had any reaction, Yang Lanying simply asked directly.

"Huh? No, no, no."

Yao Yawen didn’t even know what to say.

Zhou Jinxin directly passed the list of betrothal gifts and took a look at it himself.

"Aunt Song, I don't need to buy this watch since I already have it.

I also have a bicycle, which Zhengyang bought for me before, so I don’t need to buy it.

As for the betrothal gift, it's fine if you get what you want. We both have jobs and will be able to be self-reliant in the future, so we don't need to give so much. "

These things are really top-notch in this era.

Zhou Jinxin looked at the items on the list and realized that he didn't need to buy anything he had.

The few hundred yuan as a bride price is actually not too much. She had only more than 1000 yuan of private money in her hands before.

But at this time, it is enough for an ordinary family to save for several years.

From this look, a lot of effort was put into arranging arrangements for them.

When Yao Yaqin heard what Zhou Jinxin said, she was about to stop her when her sister pulled her and signaled her to be quiet.

Yao Yaqin swallowed the words that reached her lips. It was really uncomfortable to hold them back.

Why don't you let me talk anymore?

Just don’t want this watch or bicycle?

"Sister-in-law, do you see this?"

The Song family couple and Grandpa Song studied this gift for several days.

To be honest, this bride price is not light to them.

But even if it takes a little effort, they are still willing to give it.

This is their sincerity.

They also value Zhou Jinxin as a person.

At this moment, I heard Zhou Jinxin himself say that he didn’t want either the watch or the bicycle.

This is equivalent to reducing the burden of more than 300 yuan.

The Song parents were quite happy because Xiao Zhou was such a sensible and considerate child.

But I was also worried that Zhou's parents would be unhappy if they went back on their word.

"Is this appropriate?"

Song Qianxiang asked Zhou Wenqiang.

"no no…"

Zhou Wenqiang nodded and said the word "no".

Song Qianxiang was stunned.

What happened?

Is it okay or not?

"In-laws, just listen to Jin Xin."

Yao Yawen knew what the old man meant, and so did he, and immediately agreed with Zhou Jinxin's words.

Before, I only thought about how to prevent my daughter from suffering and making others laugh.

Now when I saw the list of betrothal gifts, I was worried that they would give me too much and it would be difficult for my family to dowry.

If the dowry is too small, the relatives of the Song family will laugh at her and look down upon her.

Everyone has their own worries.

When Yao Yawen became anxious, his relatives all called him.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Zhou Jinxin glanced at her mother.

Isn't this a bit too anxious?

"Have all the in-laws been called?"

"I didn't even hear what they were discussing?"

"How many words did you say?"

"Second aunt is not good at fighting, didn't she say she was here to help?

It didn't make much noise. "

Outside the house, Zhou Jinkun and others didn't dare to get too close, but they couldn't resist gossip and wanted to hear the news.

At this moment, those who listened to half a sentence immediately guessed it.

"Is it because Mother Song is so powerful that Second Aunt doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore?"

Xiao Wu thought about her second aunt's temper. If she wasn't afraid of others, she would have started shouting.

"No way, maybe the gift given by the Song family is just in line with the psychological expectations of mother and second aunt, so there is nothing to argue with."

Zhou Jinling guessed that the Song family's betrothal gifts were in place and she had nothing to say to them, so she was so quiet.

"Yeah, I think so.

If it weren't for the eldest sister herself, she wouldn't be able to be so silent. "

Zhou Jinjie nodded.

Is her eldest sister someone who can suffer the consequences of being dumb?

If the betrothal gifts given by the Song family's parents were really outrageous, the eldest sister herself would not be able to let them go, let alone her mother and second aunt.

"Come on, you can't hear anything here.

After a while, my mother saw it and was not happy. "

When Zhou Jinling heard this, she realized that what the fourth child said made sense.

He quickly pulled her and Xiao Wu into his room.

The second oldest brother, Zhou Jinkun, also followed up on his own initiative.

After all, her mother wouldn't scold her just because she was older and already working.

"That won't work."

The children were just about to go back to another room when they heard Yao Yawen's high-pitched voice.

"Why doesn't that work?

I said yes. "

Yang Lanying's voice also came out.

The momentum is also not weak.

"A fight started?

What's wrong?

I didn't hear anything just now, why did it suddenly start making noise? "

Suddenly a few people who had just wanted to go back to the house came back again.

He peered into the room, tilting his ears to hear a sound.

Outside the house, the neighbor on the second floor who was sitting under the window of Zhou's house basking in the sun and wanting to hear some gossip was also excited.

The fight started, the fight started.

Let her speak.

It's not that easy to negotiate.

As expected, she came out and waited when she saw someone coming from the Zhou family.

“This bride price is what it means.

It's so inappropriate for you to give the Fa like this.

If you listen to me in this way, it will be 180, and it will be auspicious. "

Yao Yawen's excited voice reached an octave high.

“No, sister-in-law, this bride price represents the sincerity of our family.

Our Zhengyang is sincere to Xiao Zhou and has absolutely no other thoughts.

Besides, isn’t the number 880 eight more auspicious than the number 180 eight? "

Yang Lanying also gradually started to get excited.

There is also reverse bargaining.

The neighbors on the second floor who had been waiting outside to hear the gossip were dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

Are you discussing your children's marriage, or are you just irritating people?

Furthermore, what kind of partner did the boss of the Zhou family find this week?

I’ve given you so much as a bride price, so I can’t do without it.

Yao Yawen and Yang Lanying talked back and forth several times, but Yang Lanying finally nodded first.

"In-laws, don't worry, because of your sincerity, I will definitely treat Jinxin as my daughter-in-law from now on."

Yang Lanying was so moved.
