Reborn in the 70s as a shrew

Chapter 122 The Dowry

As soon as Xu's mother saw Lin Jianye coming in, she immediately smiled like a flower and said, "Jianye is back. Are you tired after working all morning?"

Lin Jianye responded while taking off his hat: "I'm not tired, but are you tired after riding all the way? Are you not seasick?"

Xu’s mother: “There were no waves today and we didn’t faint. It’s just your uncle’s first time on a boat and he’s not used to it.”

After hearing this, Lin Jianye immediately looked at Su's father with a worried look on his face, "Uncle, are you okay?"

Su's father smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, I just haven't sat down before and I'm not used to it."

Lin Jianye: "Then you have to come more often in the future and sit a few more times." After saying that, he turned to Su Ming and asked: "Cousin, how do you like your relationship?"

Although Lin Jianye was the group leader, Su Ming was not too cautious when facing him and replied calmly: "Not bad, I'm afraid you will have to prepare some money in a while."

Lin Jianye: "The relationship is good. I have prepared your money a long time ago and am just waiting for you."

While talking, Xu Maisui had already walked in with dishes. As soon as Lin Jianye saw her, he immediately went to help clear the table.

Mother Xu looked at the two people who were acting intimately, and the light in her eyes became softer and softer. Aunt Xu took the opportunity to whisper in Mother Xu's ear: "You have finally found my uncle."

Xu’s mother: “Yes, I found it.”

At this time, Lin Jianjun also walked in with dishes. When Lin Jianye saw it, he quickly asked people to wash their hands and get ready to eat.

After everyone was seated, Lin Jianye looked around, suddenly stood up and walked towards the storage room. Xu Maisui looked at it and asked quickly: "What are you doing?"

Lin Jianye: "I'm going to get a bottle of wine. My mother and uncle are both here. It's nothing if I don't have wine."

After hearing this, Xu Maisui patted his head and said, "Look at my brain. I don't even know what I'm busy with just because I'm busy."

When Lin Jianye brought the wine, Su's father glanced at it as if nothing had happened, and immediately stopped him and said: "Jianye, Jianye, you can't do this, just find a drink to drink, it's too expensive for you."

Aunt Xu couldn't read. She looked at the wine bottle and asked curiously: "What kind of wine is it?"

Su’s father: “Wuliangye.”

After Xu's mother and Aunt Xu heard this, they were panicked at first and then persuaded: "Jianye, just find any wine you want. We are not outsiders, so we don't need to drink such good wine."

Lin Jianye: "You are the most important guests to me, so of course you have to drink the best wine."

Xu's mother was still trying to persuade her, but she saw Xu Maisui holding her hand and saying, "You are all members of my mother's family. Of course you can afford to drink. You're welcome."

After hearing this, Xu's mother glanced at Xu Maisui angrily, "You kid."

Seeing that Xu's mother agreed, Aunt Xu and Father Su didn't try to persuade them. They all carefully took the wine handed over by Lin Jianye. Aunt Xu never drank alcohol, so she heard that the wine was so good, so she stretched her neck and waited. .

Lin Jianye could tell at a glance, so he poured a full glass for her. When Xu's mother saw it, she hurriedly said: "No need to give it to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law doesn't drink."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu immediately licked her face and said, "Mom, I want to try it too."

Xu's mother's face darkened and she was about to speak when she heard Xu Maisui respond sweetly: "Mom, just let my sister-in-law have a taste. My sister-in-law finally came to me, so she doesn't want to drink a few more drinks."

Sister-in-law Xu responded with a smile: "I'm happy to come to your place. I will definitely have a few more drinks."

Just because of these words, Lin Jianye poured a lot of food for her. Sister-in-law Xu was also afraid that she would suffer a loss if she drank less, so she drank hard, and soon she fell on the table.

Seeing how drunk she was, Xu Maisui could only help her to the bedroom to rest. When she came out, she saw Lin Jianye still drinking with Su's father, Su Ming. Lin Jianjun was beside him, responsible for serving tea and pouring wine.

"Drink less. Are you really not going to work this afternoon?" Xu Maisui touched Lin Jianye and asked with a worried look on his face.

Lin Jianye turned around and smiled reassuringly at her: "I'm taking leave this afternoon, so I really don't need to go."

Because he guarded important military areas, Lin Jianye had almost no days off all year round.

Hearing what he said, Xu Maisui felt relieved and didn't care. He ran to chat with Xu's mother and Aunt Xu.

As soon as she passed by, Aunt Xu asked her, "That brother-in-law of yours is really nice. Does he have a partner?"

Xu Maisui: "No, but it will be soon."

Aunt Xu: "What do you mean?"

Xu Maisui: "Even if we have an affair with someone, but we haven't talked about it yet, you won't understand even if we talk about it."

Xu’s mother: “If you don’t tell us, how do you know we don’t understand.”

Xu Maisui: "You can't say even one of the eight characters is yet to come. Let's talk about one of the eight characters now."

"If the woman agrees, when will you plan to get engaged?"

Aunt Xu was silent for a while and said: "The sooner, the better. You are right. Your eldest cousin is also about that age. Since it is decided that marriage will happen sooner or later, it is better to hurry up."

Xu Maisui: "Okay, how much do you plan to pay as a bride price?"

Aunt Xu: "I forgot to ask you if you didn't tell me, how much do you want as a gift? It's not okay to ask for too much. If you don't take it back like your sister-in-law, then we won't lose the money in vain."

As soon as Aunt Xu finished speaking, Mother Xu's face suddenly became ugly. After Aunt Xu noticed it, she quickly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I didn't mean that. I'm just afraid of meeting such a person."

Xu's mother waved her hand impatiently, "It doesn't matter if that's what you mean. Who let me have such a daughter-in-law?"

"How much do you want as a bride price? Tell your aunt quickly so that she can be prepared."

Xu Maisui thought for a while and said: "We usually pay 100 yuan, plus two large items."

Aunt Xu immediately relaxed after hearing this. Mother Xu said, "That's it. You really don't want much."

Xu Maisui: "We are all the children of cadres here. They have a relatively high ideological level and don't have so many requirements."

In fact, betrothal gifts are less expensive in cities and more expensive in poorer places.

Aunt Xu: "Discuss this matter with them. Send me a letter when the time comes so I can be prepared. Also, ask your mother or something if this engagement is special. If so, tell her in advance."

Xu Maisui: "Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes."

After discussing it, they didn't stay too long. When Su's father and the others finished drinking, they were about to leave. Xu Maisui looked at Sister-in-law Xu whose footsteps were suspended in the air and said worriedly: "Mom, why don't you let your sister-in-law stay here for one night and come back tomorrow?" go back."

Aunt Xu and Mother Xu supported Aunt Xu one by one, "No, you are too busy, so I won't cause any trouble to you here."

Xu Maisui: "Sister-in-law, it's not easy for you to do this, isn't it?"

Xu's mother: "There are so many of us, but we can't get her alone, so just leave it alone and go back quickly."

Even so, Xu Maisui was not at ease and waited until the ship left before going back. Instead of rushing home, he slowly slipped away to Mazi's house. As soon as he knocked on the door twice, Mazi's wife rushed out.
