Chapter 299 Talking about the bride price
Hearing this, Gong Yanyin lowered her head and sighed, and said weakly: "This is the most terrifying thing. I'm afraid I'll be scolded at noon."
"Don't do this, there will be nothing. We are all by your side for big things." Xia Xingsheng comforted Gong Yanyin.
Gu Bai raised his hand and patted Gong Yanyin on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry, I will face this sooner or later."
Gu Bai booked a Chinese restaurant. At noon, Ma Xuexue was sent away and the four of them sat upright in the Chinese restaurant.
What we are talking about today should have been on the same side, but now it is Gu Bai and Gong Runxing.
Gu Bai felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't observe Mr. Gong's expression when sitting together like this. How could she guess what Mr. Gong was thinking?
The waiter had finished serving the dishes Gu Bai ordered, but none of the four of them spoke.
Gu Bai felt very embarrassed, the same was true for Xia Xingsheng, especially since he knew what Gong Yanyin was thinking.
Gong Yanyin looked at the handsome man sitting opposite him and shouted tentatively: "Since the food is served, then brother, let's have a meal?"
Gong Runxing stared at Gong Yanyin, and his eyes suddenly moved downward to her stomach. He said lightly: "I informed my parents and let me talk about the marriage tonight."
After saying that, he moved his chopsticks.
Seeing this, the other three people picked up their chopsticks and prepared to eat, but something unexpected happened at this time.
Gong Runxing picked up the food and went into Gu Bai's bowl. In an instant, the surroundings became very quiet.
All three of them stared at Gong Runxing. Gong Runxing noticed the embarrassment. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days, eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
"Haha...thank you Mr. Gong." Gu Bai hurriedly laughed, and then she reached out to pick up a chopstick dish for Mr. Gong.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Gu Bai smiled, and also picked up orders for Xia Xingsheng and Gong Yanyin.
I thought it would be difficult to finish the lunch meal, but I didn't expect it to be so relaxed, but Gu Bai wouldn't feel relaxed.
Night is the heaviest!
Gong Runxing said that his parents would come to talk about Xia Xingsheng and Gong Yanyin's marriage tonight!
As soon as lunch ended, Gong Yanyin followed Gong Runxing to talk, and Xia Xingsheng naturally went to talk to Gu Bai about the marriage with his parents.
Xia Xingsheng adopts his parents in Xiaoy City, and the two elderly people are nearly 60 years old. If you don’t talk about the time issue, the two elderly people can’t stand it.
Gu Ma is in the countryside again, and it is even far away from here. She has to take the train, but there must be no train this afternoon.
Moreover, Gu's mother is a little woman with a strong and soft personality. In terms of major events like Xia Xingsheng, Gu's mother must not know what to do. Gu Dad went there early, and now Gu Bai is the only one who can be in charge of Xia Xingsheng.
There was nothing urgent to do this afternoon. Gu Baihui and Xia Xingsheng kept talking about the evening in this small lounge.
Speaking of which, Gu Bai was twenty-two. Although she had a marriage certificate for a long time, she had never talked about marriage and she didn't know anything. She could only discuss it with Xia Xingsheng's adoptive parents and Gu Mo.
Finally, Gu Bai learned about the general process that should be negotiated, the two parties met, the wedding ceremony of the bride wedding room and the wedding of the guests, and so on.
Speaking of bride gifts, this is the first headache.
Both Gu Ma and Xia Xingsheng’s adoptive parents knew that Gong Yanyin’s family was relatively good, and the amount of this bride price was definitely not low.
Now that we are getting married, everyone wants the man to have a car and a house at home.
As for Xia Xingsheng's current situation, he doesn't even have a car or house, and if there is a bride price, he can't afford much.
Thinking of this, Gu Bai felt that the marriage was mostly difficult. He didn't know what Gong Yanyin's parents would think of Xia Xingsheng.
Gu Bai told Xia Xingsheng all these things, and she frowned slightly and asked, "Why didn't you think about these consequences at that time?"
"I didn't think of so much at that time..." Xia Xingsheng's head was lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.
Gu Bai took Xia Xingsheng's hand and asked him to sit beside him.
"When you talk about marriage, you should also want to live your future life?"
"Yeah." Xia Xingsheng nodded.
"Then tell me how you planned it in the future?"
Xia Xingsheng raised his head and told Gu Bai about the future he and Gong Yanyin had planned long ago. "Just get a marriage certificate, hold a wedding, then have a child, and go to confinement. Later, we will open a cake shop."
Gu Bai stared at Xia Xingsheng. Seeing that Xia Xingsheng had no sound after he finished speaking, he frowned and asked, "Is it over?"
"Yes." Xia Xingsheng nodded weakly.
"Where is the money? Do you know that all these require a lot of money?"
Gu Bai really thinks Xia Xingsheng is quite happy. At such a simple and beautiful age, he meets a girl he likes and wants to be a father.
"I...I know it will cost a lot of money, but the Erhu in our village spent 50,000 yuan to get married, and his wife's bride price was more than 20,000 yuan." Gong Runxing lowered his head and said.
"It's different." Gu Bai shook his head, he was ignorant, he was such a child.
Gu Bai suddenly felt a little regretful about what he said to Gong Yanyin. If she didn't go to find Xia Xingsheng, she wouldn't have been going to be a mother so early.
Both of them are still so young, getting married is not a simple matter, especially if they are not a good match.
"You are not in school now, where do you live?" Gu Bai asked.
Xia Xingsheng hurriedly replied: "I rented a house for more than 3,000 yuan a month."
When Gu Bai heard Xia Xingsheng's answer, he was shocked.
“Of the high-end community?”
"No." Xia Xingsheng shook his head, "It's just a relatively ordinary community with a first-floor shop."
"Did you rent a shop?" Gu Bai was surprised.
Xia Xingsheng nodded and explained: "We just learned to make cakes. Xiaoyin thought that it would be cost-effective to combine the first and second floors for 3,000 yuan per month, so she thought she could try opening a cake shop."
"Three thousand a month, the shop has a second floor. It's so cheap, the terrain is definitely not very good, right? Can you get up?" Gu Bai asked with a frown.
"I said the same thing at the time, but Xiaoyin said, we haven't done it yet, how can we know if it will be successful? We have to do everything before we know it."
"It's true that there is such a reason, but..." Gu Bai stopped, thinking about what she should say.
But as she thought about it, she felt that she could not control so much. This was their business after all. What she could do should be the support behind the scenes, right?
But it all costs money.
Gu Bai sighed heavily in his heart, thinking that the matter had not been discussed yet, what was she doing here with sighs? What if things were not as complicated as she thought?
Thinking of this, Gu Bai felt much more comfortable. She looked at Xia Xingsheng and saw that there were broken hairs scattered on Xia Xingsheng's sweatshirt.
Gu Bai hurriedly reached out to take off the short hair and said to Xia Xingsheng: "You have to sort out your clothes and try to leave a good impression when you meet Yan Yin and her parents at night. We will know what money you need. Let's talk about these things later."
"Sister, do you think we should buy a formal set of clothes now? Then buy some gifts so that the uncle and aunt will not say that we don't pay attention to the conversation and do not respect them." Xia Xingsheng held Gu Bai's hand tightly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Bai looked at his and Xia Xingsheng's clothes, both of which were casual and warm. When he met Gong Yanyin's parents at night, he wanted to talk about such an important thing. It would definitely be inappropriate if they dressed like this.
Gu Bai sighed softly, she took out her cell phone and said to Xia Xingsheng: "I'll transfer money to you. You go out and watch to buy your clothes and mine. I'll wear a size 1, and then buy some gifts."
Xia Xingsheng was very surprised, and he quickly said, "Okay, thank you sister, I'll go find Xiaoyin with you, I will definitely buy you a beautiful skirt."
skirt......
Gu Bai suddenly remembered the boy he met on Christmas night, and she hurriedly shouted: "No need!"
"Ah? What's wrong with sister?" Xia Xingsheng looked confused.
"I have a suitable skirt, which is a small gift." Gu Bai explained, "There is no need to buy mine. You can go home and help me bring my clothes later. I have to stay here."
Gu Bai said, giving Xia Xingsheng the key to the house, "Do you know where the home is." The house is half of Xia Xingsheng. Although Xia Xingsheng has never lived in it often, he knows it.
"Yeah." Xia Xingsheng nodded and left the small lounge.
After Xia Xingsheng left, Gu Bai leaned on the sofa to rest as he rested. She had just transferred several thousand yuan to Xia Xingsheng. She felt sorry for her and was stuck and had no money.
After owing more than ten years of debt, she finally paid it back this year. Her wallet has long been empty. Now that Xia Xingsheng is going to get married, she must have some help, but she is also powerless now.
Gu Bai was worried, and two turbid tears suddenly flowed out of his nostrils. Gu Bai hurriedly pulled out the paper from the table and blew his nose away.
"I haven't taken medicine at noon." Gu Bai murmured. It's not good to keep sniffing while talking to the evening.
Gu Bai's medicine was in the car, so she picked up her cell phone, got up and walked out.
Walking to the parking place, Gu Bai's cell phone suddenly vibrated and someone called her.
Gu Bai trembled and took out his cell phone and saw that it was Gu's mother.
"Hey, mom."
"Xiaobai, I just discussed with Xia Xingsheng's adoptive parents. They are poor and cannot afford to buy a house. You know, who does not require the man to have a car and a house now when a girl gets married?"
Of course Gu Bai had thought about this issue, but Xia Xingsheng said that they had rented a house by themselves, and the house they rented should be a wedding house by then.
Although I thought about it so much, I didn't know the specific ones.
So Gu Bai asked, "What about the result of your discussion?"
"I plan to make the house your dad bought for Xingsheng to make a wedding house. I'm here to stay in the countryside. Don't you live with your colleagues?"
"yes."
"This wedding house is easy to solve, mainly the dowry. I heard people say that the dowry of girls from rich families in the city costs hundreds of thousands."
"Yes." Gu Bai's throat was slightly dry, and she didn't want to talk much.
