Chapter 65: Gift to He Yushui

On Saturday, He Yushui came back again.

Looking at the beautiful woman who looked like a joyful elf, Wang Gensheng felt that his mood for the day also improved. The couple made an appointment to go to the movies together.

The original plan for today was to help the deaf old lady move, but seeing his sister looking at him with such expectant eyes, He Yuzhu couldn't bear to refuse.

After gritting his teeth, he decided to let the two of them go to the movies together. He Yuzhu helped the deaf old lady move at home.

He Yushui immediately became happy and excited again. At this time, she felt even more fortunate that it turned out that having a brother at home was such a good thing.

I can push any housework onto my brother and enjoy his care without any worries.

She happily took Wang Gensheng's hand, skipped out of the courtyard, and had a happy smile on her face.

Although freedom of love was encouraged during this period, Wang Gensheng sometimes secretly felt fortunate when he looked at the exquisite He Yushui, saying that some arranged marriages by parents were still very good!

For example, the young wife in front of him is still acceptable.

If Wang Gensheng died and he hadn't traveled through time, the police officer in the original drama would definitely have the upper hand in the future.

Now, the two of them are happily holding hands, like childhood sweethearts.

In this era, there are not too many requirements for two parties to get married, and there is no sky-high gift! Generally, when getting engaged, the betrothal gift is only 5 or 10 yuan.

My family is well off and I can get 20 or 30 yuan.

In most cases, these betrothal gifts will still be brought back by the girl's family.

Generally speaking, half of the money will be returned, but of course more may be returned. The specific amount can be negotiated by the elders of both parties.

The purpose of doing this is just to allow the two children to live a more comfortable life after marriage.

The reason I think about these things is that there are no elders in He Yushui's family now, and Wang Gensheng's elders are also in the countryside.

This matter can only be figured out by Wang Gensheng himself.

As for Yu Shui's brother, Sha Zhuzi, let's just forget about him; I still have to worry about his marriage because of that idiot.

Wang Gensheng took out 10 yuan from his pocket and handed it to He Yushui.

"Why did you give me 10 yuan? Is this the cost of our trip today?"

"This is nearly half a month's salary for an ordinary worker. You really spend it well!" Wang Gensheng shook his head and said.

"This is the betrothal gift I give you." After saying this, He Yushui's face suddenly turned red.

He was hesitant again, not knowing whether to accept the 10 yuan or not.

"The betrothal gifts are given to the elders in the family. How can you give it to me? Go back and give it to my brother."

He Yushui's family, her biological father He Daqing, ran away with the White Widow several years ago, leaving behind the young He Yushui and her brother He Yuzhu who had just started working.

Although He Yuzhu is He Yushui's brother, he was the one who raised her. It can be said that the elder brother is like a father.

Just like the elders in her family. He Yushui said so, it was reasonable for Wang Gensheng to give the money to He Yuzhu.

"That won't work either. If I let you give the betrothal gift to my brother, you never know when that widow Qin will take it away. Well, you men are unreliable with your money, so I'll be the one managing the money."

Some people say: Women change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, and it’s really true!

He Yushui regretted what he said, and stretched out his hand again to demand the money from Wang Gensheng:

"Hand over your salary from last month and your food coupons."

At this moment, Wang Gensheng felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, but he couldn't express his bitterness. His newly recognized wife could hold on even with tears in her eyes.

He could only lower his head and reach into his pocket, handing all the money he had on him and the various bills he had received this month into He Yushui's hands.

Of course, those things in the system space belong to his own little treasury and cannot be taken out; that is a man’s courage and Wang Gensheng’s lifeblood.

Counting the food coupons in his hand, there were about 30 to kilograms in total, of which kilograms were national food coupons that could be used anywhere.

He Yushui squinted his eyes with joy, and with a smile on his face, he stuffed 30 kilograms of national food coupons into his pocket, and returned 20 kilograms to Wang Gensheng: "Keep these for your meals."

Those are provincial and city tickets, which are not very useful for long-distance travel.

For Wang Gensheng, these are dispensable. What is most important is to have his own system space, food and drink. These money and tickets are just props to block other people's ears and eyes.

What made He Yushui happiest was that among these tickets there were tickets for 3 kilograms of meat!

Whether it is chicken, pork, lamb or fish, you can choose whatever you want.

Wang Gensheng specially saved these meat coupons for He Yushui so that she could use them to eat at school in the future.

Because the meat that Wang Gensheng and his family ate at home was usually either bought at the Pigeon Market or big fish that Wang Gensheng prepared himself, so they basically didn't need tickets.

The meat tickets each have the corresponding type, date and weight.

For example: the maximum amount of pork is two taels, but it must be used within the specified date, otherwise it will become invalid.

These bills were used by the government to stimulate private consumption, so that people would not just save them and not buy things. This would not promote the circulation of domestic goods.

Therefore, meat tickets are generally valid for one month, but there are also ones with a term of one year, which are for units or special tickets.

Of course you want to eat meat, but what should you do if you don’t have a ticket? Actually, there is another way.

For example, Wang Gensheng bought half a pig bone before. Although there was meat on the bone, he didn't need a ticket to buy it. He just had to spend some money.

Also, the live chicken that Xu Damao bought a few days ago was a local chicken raised by his fellow villagers. It was traded in the pigeon market or bartered. It was a personal behavior and no ticket was required. This is also an alternative way to eat meat.

But there are also risks. For example, if you are reported, it would be a crime of speculation!

This kind of personal exchange cannot be absolutely prohibited, and law enforcement officers generally turn a blind eye to it.

Unless there is someone who is very hostile to you, or a real villain like Xu Damao, who can't stand to see you do well, and turns around to report you, the law enforcement officers will have to take action.

Otherwise, how could there be a dove market? Do you think the government can't see such a large trading market? They just tacitly allow it to exist.

There are also Wang Gensheng’s favorites, pig heads, pig trotters, pig tails, sheep tripes, sheep hearts, and hunting game, etc., which are not included in the state’s planned supply commodities.

Not only is it cheap, but of course you don’t need meat coupons to buy it.

"There is also a five-foot cloth ticket in it." He Yushui held it in her hand, drooling with greed. Just ask, which beautiful girl doesn't want to make two beautiful clothes for herself?

"This cloth coupon is valid for one year. You don't have to rush to use it. Wait until I issue another one next month and I'll give you enough cloth coupons to buy a set of clothes."

He Yushui liked to hear this, but pretended to be serious, sorted out the tickets, and put them into the inner pocket of his clothes, full of a sense of ritual.

She considered all these as the betrothal gifts from Wang Gensheng, and she was very happy and appreciated them.

As far as He Yushui knew, no girl from any family in the Siheyuan could receive so many betrothal gifts at once.

Looking back at Wang Gensheng who was smiling foolishly, I now feel that he looks much more pleasing to the eye.

The third uncle only spent ten dollars to marry Yu Li, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan family. The heartbroken third uncle didn't sleep well for three days!

She patted her perky little chest again, confirmed once again that she had hidden the bills and money, then looked up and saw Wang Gensheng again.

She rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Look at you! Hurry up and wipe the saliva from your mouth, it's all flowing across the river."

Wang Gensheng suddenly became alert, then he snorted and realized that he had been tricked.

Where are you drooling?

He looked at the laughing He Yushui, and the two of them started playing around again.

Next, He Yushui happily pulled Wang Gensheng along and used two taels of meat coupons to buy two bowls of mutton soup. The soup in those days was really authentic and of good value, and both of them were full.

The two of them even watched the movie "Tunnel Warfare" hand in hand, but they didn't know that a great drama was going on in the courtyard and it was a big commotion.
