Chapter 296 Dowry and Dowry
"Xiu'er, you can take this, it's the dowry given to you by your uncle and aunt."
After dinner, Zhang Shuzhen took out a red cloth bag from the kang cabinet and solemnly pushed it to Han Mingxiu.
Han Mingxiu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Auntie, haven't I said everything? You don't need to give me a dowry. I don't need to lack anything. I'll keep this for me, Sister Hai Xing."
Zhang Shuzhen pulled her hand over, stuffed the red cloth bag into her, and said firmly: "Xiu'er, please take it to you, Sister Hai Xing, I have other plans."
Wang Wenyuan also said: "Xiu'er, just take it. Your parents are gone, Cui is a man who cannot stand up again, and no elder will help you with dowry. Even if my uncle and aunt give it to you for your parents..."
When Han Mingxiu heard his uncle say this, he didn't refuse and had to accept it.
She opened the cloth bag and saw a shiny chrysanthemum brand watch inside, which was the one that Huo Jianfeng bought for his aunt when he came back the year before yesterday.
When Han Mingxiu saw that it was Huo Jianfeng who bought the watch for his aunt, he hurriedly stuffed the watch back into his aunt's hand, "Auntie, this is what Brother Jianfeng bought for you, I can't ask for it."
Zhang Shuzhen grabbed her hand and stuffed the watch to her again.
"No matter who gave it to me, now it's mine, I have the final say. I'll take it to you. My aunt, an old farmer, why are you doing with this foreign thing? It's in vain. Besides, I've been going all day long. If I get it broken, I won't feel sorry for me? With such a thing, I don't know where to put my hands and feet, and I can't do it anymore. If I get it back, I might as well wear it for you."
"But, this is Brother Jianfeng's filial piety to you, I really can't ask for it." Han Mingxiu wanted to break away and return the watch to her aunt.
However, my aunt held her hand tightly, and she couldn't let her break free.
"My aunt also knows that this is your brother Jianfeng's filial piety to her. My aunt will just take his heart and take his feelings. This watch is too expensive. It's really useless for my aunt to take it..."
The eldest aunt held her hand stubbornly and stuffed the watch into Han Mingxiu's hand.
Han Mingxiu glanced at Huo Jianfeng in embarrassment.
Huo Jianfeng said: "You can take what you gave to you by your mother. If you don't want it, she will feel uncomfortable.
Wang Wenyuan also said: "Hold it, you are going to get married. We are not good things for you to accompany you as uncles and aunts. We can only take this thing at home. If you don't want it, we should be sad..."
"Yes, Xiu'er, just take it. If you don't want it, my mother will have to go out and borrow money and buy you another piece of money." Wang Haixing also advised.
Everyone said this, and Han Mingxiu couldn't refuse any more, so she took it over and said, "Thank you, aunt."
There are more than a dozen Rolexes in her space, including pure gold watches, and I really don’t lack this big domestic chrysanthemum.
However, she couldn't wear those watches, so this part was OK!
"Come on, I'll take it for you." Seeing that Han Mingxiu was finally willing to stop, my aunt smiled happily and said a pleat on her face. She took the big chrysanthemum watch in Han Mingxiu's hand and helped her put it on her arm, wearing it while talking.
"Don't look at this watch that you, Brother Jianfeng, bought it for me two years ago. In fact, I haven't brought it ten times in total. I'm afraid it will be bumped and kept it in the kang cabinet. But I'm not relieved when I'm in the production team every day. I always put it in my heart, but I'm afraid that a thief will come in at home and steal this watch... You don't know, since I bought this watch back from Jianfeng, I've never been quiet. I'll give it to you now, and I won't have to worry about it anymore..."
The big mess raised his hand: "I testify this, my mother is the one in the village who is doing weddings and she wears this watch to show off when she was a child. She just doesn't bring it during the Chinese New Year and the holidays."
"Go to you, don't have you everywhere." When the aunt saw her son revealing her true feelings, she went up and slapped her on the back of her head, and cursed with a smile.
Everyone laughed, and Han Mingxiu also laughed.
She also saw that this watch was brand new and new, with no patina on the dial and strap, which shows that my aunt has really been reluctant to carry it in the past two years.
"Then thank my aunt." Han Mingxiu raised her arm, looked at the shiny chrysanthemum watch on her wrist, and thanked her with a smile.
Zhang Shuzhen was also very happy when she looked at Han Mingxiu’s watch with her, and said with a smile: “Look at this good thing, you should give it to young people. It looks good to wear it. It looks like an old woman, with a pleated face. It’s a waste of wearing such a good thing.”
After saying that, he took out a handkerchief bag from his pocket and pushed it in front of Han Mingxiu.
"Xiu'er, this is the betrothal gift given to you by my aunt as Jianfeng's mother, you can't refuse."
"Auntie..."
"Xiu'er, listen to me first."
When Zhang Shuzhen saw that Han Mingxiu was about to refuse, she interrupted her first and said emotionally: "Jianfeng is my son, the flesh that fell from me. Although he did not grow up next to me, the one that always hurts the most in my heart is him, which is more painful than Hai Xing and Da Lun."
She glanced at Hai Xing and Da Luan and said, "Hai Xing and Da Luan grew up beside their parents. They have basically never suffered or suffered any grievances since childhood. But Brother Jianfeng is different. He grew up in the Old Huo family. You probably know what kind of person his aunt is. The child must have suffered a lot of grievances there in those years. Although he didn't tell me, I can guess it."
Speaking of this, my aunt's eyes turned a little red: "Although I can guess, there is nothing I can do. He is the only male member of the old Huo family. He must go back to the old Huo family, otherwise the old Huo family will be defeated and his grandmother will definitely not live long."
Huo Jianfeng hugged his mother's shoulder, "Mom, it's all over the past, stop talking about it, Besides, am I not good now? I'm still looking for such a good wife to show off, why are you excited?"
Zhang Shuzhen said: "Although you are pretty good now, but when I think about the suffering you suffered by your aunt in the past few years, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. Show, you probably don't know. I am the child bride of the old Huo family. I have been raised by Jianfeng's grandmother since I was a child. The old lady treats me as her own daughter. I can't watch her life without any care... So, I have to feel wronged by Jianfeng..."
Huo Jianfeng hugged his mother tighter. The tears that Zhang Shuzhen had in her eyes finally fell down. She wiped it randomly and said, "I sent the child out with a hard heart. The child was forced to go out to break out at fifteen. I have been home twice over the years. I feel so distressed that I have always wanted to do something for my child, but I am useless. Apart from making a few pairs of shoes and making some cotton coats and pants, I can't do anything."
"Now, he is going to marry a wife, I finally have a chance to do something for him and do something for him. You don't know how happy I am. If you refuse, I feel even more sorry for him..."
Zhang Shuzhen said as she burst into tears as she rolled down...
When Han Mingxiu saw that his aunt was like this, why did Han Mingxiu refuse? He immediately took the hand-rolled bag and said with a smile: "Then thank you aunt. I accepted it, but don't cry, otherwise I would have thought you would feel distressed and cry if you paid some bride money."
Zhang Shuzhen was originally quite sad, but after Han Mingxiu said this, she was amused again.
She glared at her and said angrily: You girl, you're about to be a bride, why are you still like a child?"
Da Ran stretched his neck and stared at the handkerchief bag and said, "Sister Xiu, please open it and see how much my mother gives you."
Han Mingxiu opened the handkerchief bag, and there were six ten-yuan Datongs in neatly placed inside, and six one-yuan one-yuan, totaling six sixteen yuan.
This money is a lot in this era. After all, a few people like Sun Maowen’s family who want to open their mouths for 300 yuan. Usually, people usually get married and have a betrothal gift of thirty or fifty, except for clothes.
My aunt gave her sixty-six yuan, which was more than enough than the top and the bottom, and she was already well off.
Huo Jianfeng was also very moved to see his mother take out all her family and give it to his wife. But he was not good at expressing himself, and he watched silently, remembering his mother's affection in his heart.
After that, the topic became easier. They discussed the tables on the day of service. They also calculated how many tables of guests they could come, and how big ash shed they would have to build to accommodate the guests, as well as how many tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks, pots and pans to borrow...
After lunch, Han Mingxiu and Huo Jianfeng went back.
They have a meal tonight!
Although they didn't want to attend that dinner, they still had to bite the bullet and attend it for Zhang He's lifelong happiness.
