A pleasant life in a courtyard
Chapter 33 The fight over gifts
Just when Li Xiang was busy looking for information for the topic, he was feeling pain and happiness.
Roommates Sun Guoqing and Gu Da Niu are making rapid progress.
Only ten days after the two met for the first time, seven people in the dormitory received an engagement invitation notice.
The engagement is scheduled for this Sunday.
The oldest person in the dormitory was only twenty-two years old, and none of them had any experience of attending wedding banquets of close people as representatives.
Nowadays, there are many brands of fountain pens, but there are only a few that are famous, such as Hero, Huafu, Xinmin, etc.
"This is a good idea." The boss Zhang Jianguo was the first to agree.
This was embarrassing. Among the six people, there was a clear-minded person who naturally knew the unfinished meaning of his words.
The slightly dull ones also turned around when they saw that the fifth child didn't answer the sixth child's words, but there was nothing he didn't understand.
Secondly, he is from Sichuan Province. After graduation, he will most likely be assigned to his hometown. He has never thought about staying in BJ, so no matter how tough the background of Lao Qi's family is, it will be of little use to him.
After a while, seeing that everyone was about to decide the matter, he said coyly: "The pen you mentioned is not cheap, right? I don't have that much money now."
Li Xiang didn't have any objections to giving pens, and he was still in the mood to joke: "Then we have to do an inspection first before sending it out. If we buy a defective product, then our efforts will be in vain."
Anyway, recently he got two good things that can be sold at a good price, and he is a little more financially comfortable. He told everyone his plan.
Everyone started happily sharing how to avoid buying defective products, and everyone heard a lot about the jokes about the pens.
First of all, his family's conditions are not very good, so every month he saves part of his living expenses from his allowance and sends it to his family.
"You bitch, if you dare, say it again." Lao Wu pointed his finger at him with anger, and his dialect was so angry that he burst out.
Li Xiang's first reaction was also dissatisfaction. It didn't matter that he had a good relationship with Sun Guoqing or that he had selfish motives. Anyway, he didn't want to fool around with the gift-giving thing.
Lao Wu frowned and replied: "Fifty cents is enough. There are so many people nowadays who only need one or two cents for weddings and weddings."
"Whoever criticized you, don't criticize me with generalizations." The second child retorted angrily.
Does Lao Wu have this money? In fact, he still has it, but he is unwilling to spend so much.
The third child, Lin Guodong, asked worriedly: "What should I give you? It's too expensive and we can't afford it."
Although he couldn't understand Shanghainese, his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good word.
"It's okay. If you don't have enough money, I'll lend it to you first. Don't be in a hurry to pay it back." Tiehanhanlaoliu was as blank as ever and eager to lend him money.
The money was divided equally among the 7 people in the dormitory. After rounding, the money shared among each person was 2 yuan and 6 cents.
While Lao Qi was away, several young men discussed eagerly what they should give each other when they got engaged.
"What do you guys mean? Just talk to me. Tell me what's fair or unfair. You can spend as much as you want. There's no other reason why you want me."
Then, as if the previously repressed emotions had found a way to vent, he muttered in a moderate voice: "I was helped to do the things I didn't want to do, and I blame others for having too many things to do. I'm really crazy."
In their opinion, they either didn't bring Lao Wu's share and let him deliver it alone, or, as Li Xiang said, someone else had to pay the extra money for him.
That's it, sometimes I have to squeeze some more out from between my teeth and buy some little things to make my partner happy.
"That's right, this is only fair." Lao Liu also meant the same thing.
But he didn't want to argue over this matter. After all, Lao Wu was not unreasonable. Why should he be forced to do it if he didn't want to?
But if they were asked to take on Lao Wu's share and do favors for Lao Wu, they would certainly not be happy.
After discussion, several people decided on the brand name Hero 100, priced at 18 yuan.
Ever since he learned about the situation of Lao Qi's family, Lao Si's attitude towards Sun Guoqing was somewhat flattering. If it weren't for the harmony of the dormitory, he would have wanted to give gifts alone. What a great opportunity for friendship.
This is enough for an apprentice's salary for one month, and the price is not cheap at all.
So in summary, he felt that the money was not worth it as he was not well off.
"Then what's your budget?" The second child asked him straight to the point.
Then he was afraid that it was not convincing enough, so he added, "There are still many who only give a few points."
Xu Wei, the fifth eldest among the crowd, looked a little embarrassed. He was always lively and loved to join in the fun, so it was rare to see him like this.
Only the second child and the third child remained silent. Their conditions could only be described as average. The money originally allocated was already taxing, but they gritted their teeth and took the responsibility.
The fifth child is only willing to pay 50 cents, and the eighth child is willing to bear the extra. They have no objection to this.
They all know how to give a water bottle, a washbasin, a bed sheet, and a quilt when getting married, but this gift for an engagement is really a bit embarrassing for these young men.
Everyone else knew what he meant, and if you think about it, if the pen does not produce water or water comes out randomly, it is not a blessing, but a curse.
The boss objected loudly: "How can I let you go out alone?"
Just don't blame them.

But before they could express their opinions, Lao Wu exploded first.
"Well, let's buy a pen. Lao Wu only needs 50 cents. Brothers, please understand his situation. I will pay for the rest. You all know that I have a good relationship with Lao Qi. I will pay for this. Gotta be happy.”
"Blame me, blame me, brothers, calm down, it's my inability to speak that caused the misunderstanding." Lao Liu quickly stood up, stood between the two of them, and took the matter on himself.
"Get out of the way, who wants you to pretend to be a good person here?"
However, everyone was focused on choosing gifts at this moment and did not notice anything wrong with him for a while.
He Jun, the silly old man, suggested: "Otherwise, we should give away water bottles or something. This ticket is easy to get."
What Lao Wu said is actually correct. For ordinary people, this number is already overwhelming.
"Can I have some fun? Can an engagement be the same as a wedding?" Yu Zhiyuan, the fourth child, protested against the sixth child's unwillingness.
If we talk about redistributing this money, it would only cost less than fifty cents per person, so it can be summed up directly.
But this gift couldn't be given by the six of them, so just leave him alone. People who didn't know better thought they were squeezing out the fifth child.
The fourth child also said: "Yes, let's share it equally among the six of us."
But this answer is not very acceptable to everyone.
Although Lao Wu was not tall and lean, he was extremely strong. Lao Liu, who was quite big, was pushed back and staggered back.
Seeing that my feet were unsteady, my head was about to hit the bed frame.
