Xiahe Village.

Sun Guifen hung up Xu Zhiyou's phone, quickly changed her clothes, and went to Zhang Xia's house.

Wang Li was watching TV in the living room, and Zhang Xia asked Sun Guifen to the back room.

"Sister Zhang, I won't say anything if it's useless. My eldest brother's family borrowed money from here and there, and even sold the grain at home. We only managed to collect 97,000 yuan, and we were only short of 3,000 yuan. It's really too much

I can’t borrow it anymore. You also know that Xiangyang Village is indeed not rich. Even the entire Heyuan Township is poor. Do you think it only costs three thousand yuan?" Sun Guifen said.

"Guifen, you know what kind of character I am, Zhang Xia. I always say what I say, and I will do whatever I say. As for my Lao Wang, even if you don't think of him as a director, he can't stand up in front of me.

I said one hundred thousand, it is one hundred thousand, not even one point less. I think that Xu Zhengyang's child is very good, but if it goes against their family, I will not be happy at all." Zhang Xia was indeed unhappy. At this time, Zhang

Xia didn't agree with this marriage in her heart. In fact, she was supposed to go to Xu Zhengyang's house to have a look, but Zhang Xia didn't even think about going there. She knew what Xiangyang Village was like, and few houses had decent houses.

For Zhang Xia's character, it makes no difference whether she sees it or not. Xu Zhengyang's family can just spend 150,000 yuan to marry their daughter to their family. Of course, what Zhang Xia hopes most is that the other party can't afford it.

100,000 will save my daughter from suffering when she gets married in the future.

"Sister Lao Zhang, don't be like that. You see, both children agree. You can't break up a pair of mandarin ducks just for such a small amount of money. Sister Lao Zhang, it really can't be done. If you see this, just give me 97,000 yuan first, and then wait.

I'll give it to them later when I have the money. Let their family take it easy first. Don't worry, if their family can't pay, I, Sun Guifen, will give the money!" Sun Guifen saw that Zhang Xia's attitude was not enough, so she got along with him.

There is no way to ruin the marriage just by missing out on three thousand yuan.

"No, you have to give it all at once. Guifen, don't talk about this. I, Zhang Xia, are not free and their family is poor. I don't ask them to build a new house, nor do I ask them to buy a lot of houses."

I bought them home appliances and furniture, and even bought them a car. I said at the time that all the complicated procedures would be eliminated and I would just spend 100,000 yuan. I think my Zhang Xia personality is enough for their family.

, Isn’t this still relying on your face, Guifen?” Zhang Xia said in a very serious manner, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Hey, since Sister Zhang, you've already said it all, I can't say anything more. What you said is indeed reasonable. Okay, I'll go back first and let them talk about it again.

"Money" Sun Guifen stood up and left.

Xu Zhengyang's family gathered around the dinner table and were about to start dinner. The phone at home rang. Chen Ying got up to answer the phone.

"Hey! Guifen"

"Sister-in-law, Zhang Xia doesn't agree. I've said all my good things, but it's not even a penny difference. I told her to make up for it later when I have money, but that won't work either, so I have to spend 100,000 yuan."

"Hey, okay, I understand, let's do this for now, your brother and I are thinking of a solution!"

Chen Ying hung up the phone, "Hey, Zhang Xia is so unreasonable. You said it's not enough even with this little money. In the future, Yangyang will host banquets, buy furniture, and clean up the house, all of which will require money~"

The volume of the receiver of the landline phone is relatively loud, so what Xu Zhiyou said on the other end of the phone can be heard clearly. "Why is Zhang Xia like this? The gentlemen at home said it doesn't matter, hey, it's okay. If I think about it again, I can't do it."

Because I can’t get a wife with three thousand yuan!”

Xu Zhengyang, who had been silent all this time, sat on the stool with a livid face. At this time, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and suddenly stood up and said: "Dad! Mom! I won't get married at all, let alone our family."

Without one hundred thousand, even if I had one hundred thousand, I would not marry Zhang Xia's daughter!"

"Sit down, you're so angry! If you say you won't get married, you won't get married!" Xu Zhiyou shouted.

"Dad, I have never agreed to get married since I came back. For the sake of you two, even if I don't want to, I will always follow you, but this time, it is absolutely impossible! Even someone like Zhang Xia will not kill me.

Become a relative with her! How can I be a bachelor without her, Zhang Xia’s daughter!"

"You...hehe..." Xu Zhiyou was not angry but happy, which made Xu Zhengyang at a loss. "What a fool! This is my fucking son! I don't like that woman too! What a fool!"

"Dad... um... I was a little emotional just now, don't be angry." Xu Zhengyang saw his father's attitude suddenly take a 180-degree turn, and the confidence he had just lost was completely gone.

"Go away and let me eat! Yingzi, call Guifen back and ask her to propose the marriage!" Xu Zhiyou took out the wine flask and poured himself a cup of wine.

Chen Ying saw Xu Zhengyang's resolute attitude and Xu Zhiyou also expressed his position, and she thought about it. Zhang Xia was not the only daughter in the world. She blamed herself for being too anxious. She got up and went to Sun Guifen to call back and explain her family's intentions.

.

Xu Zhengyang drank some wine with his father. Halfway through the meal, Xu Zhengyang said: "Dad, Mom, let's put the marriage aside for the time being. What does this mean? It means that if you are poor, you will be looked down upon by others. In our village

Even our entire Heyuan Township is poor. I still want to tell you that I want to find a job. A man still has to have a job. I can't just stay in the countryside and live on the money like you old couple."

Neither Xu Zhiyou nor Chen Ying interrupted, but listened quietly to their son's words. Seeing that neither of them spoke, Xu Zhengyang continued: "You see, the young people in our village are no longer at home. They have all gone out to work. Those who are somewhat capable are kept here."

I'm not coming back anymore. You saw how lively our village was in the past. There were a lot of children and adults. After dinner, they all gathered on the road and talked and laughed. But look again now. How many people can you see on the road? These are all

What does it mean? It means that our hometown is poor and we can’t make money at home, so we can only go out to work to make money.”

"Yeah, some time ago, Lao Li's family was killing a pig and wanted to find a few young people to help catch the pig, but they couldn't find any young people. In the end, they had no choice but to find a bunch of old men, but they couldn't deal with it.

Kill this pig," Xu Zhiyou sighed.

"Look, dad, this shows that everything I said is right. Tomorrow I will have a party with my classmates and go to the city to look for a job. Your son and I have all the strength, so I don't believe that I can't find a job."

A decent job, when I earn money, will I still worry about not being able to marry a wife?"

"Okay, let's hear what you said. Don't you just want to find a job? Let's do it like this for now. You can do whatever you want. But if there is a suitable girl, you should go on a blind date with me.

I’m on a blind date!”

"Okay, that's not a problem." Seeing that his parents were finally relaxed about their marriage, Xu Zhengyang finished his meal in threes and fives and hurried back to the east room.

Xu Zhengyang returned to the room and just lay down when the phone rang. When he saw that the number was Wang Li, Xu Zhengyang didn't want to answer it, but after thinking about it, Wang Li was a pretty good girl. She couldn't stop answering Wang Li just because of her mother.

Li's call, so she pressed the answer button "Hello!"

"Xu Zhengyang, my mother... said that your family canceled our... wedding. I know my mother shouldn't... ask for so much money, but I can't persuade my mother. I really have no choice.

Wuwuwu... No matter what, I just want to be with you, Wuwuwu..." Wang Li cried and said in a broken tone.

Xu Zhengyang usually doesn't want to see others cry. When Wang Li cried, he didn't know what to do and felt bad. After all, Wang Li was an innocent person in this matter. "Wang Li, stop crying. Even if we do

We can still be friends even if we are not married. Stop crying. It’s not good for your mother to hear you."

After listening to Xu Zhengyang's words, Wang Li's mood gradually stabilized: "I just had a big fight with my mother. I told her that I just want to be with you. If she doesn't agree with me being with you,

so I……"

Halfway through Wang Li's words, Xu Zhengyang's phone suddenly became unresponsive. When he took it out and took a look, it turned out that the battery had automatically shut down. Xu Zhengyang quickly found the charger and charged it. Just as he was about to turn it on, he pressed the power button with his hand.

He slowly took it away and shook his head helplessly, forget it, let everything end from here...

After tossing and turning in bed for most of the night, I finally slept for a few hours. I got up early, washed up, said hello to my parents, and went to the countryside. The direct train from the countryside to the city is not very convenient, so it takes one day.

After two trips, Xu Zhengyang took the morning one and got on the bus. Xu Zhengyang started calling all his classmates, telling them that he had gone to the city and asked them not to be late. He would notify them after finding a hotel.

Liaohe City is a prefecture-level city that developed on the basis of mineral resources. As various large and small coal mines have gradually been mined in recent years, the country has become more and more strict on mining and production requirements, so some that do not meet the standards

All small coal mines have ceased production. Without these major industries, Liaohe City's economy has slowly begun to stagnate.

When Xu Zhengyang arrived in the city, he first went to the bank to withdraw 3,000 yuan in cash. After that, he began to look for a decent restaurant and finally invited his classmates to dinner. He couldn't be too stingy. This was not Xu Zhengyang's style of doing things. Xu Zhengyang said to

I wasn’t very familiar with the city. I had been here a few times before I joined the army. After searching around, around ten o’clock, I finally found a restaurant near Shang Commercial Street.

Xu Zhengyang stood in front of the hotel. The four golden characters "Jinjiang Hotel" were inlaid on the huge plaque. There were two female greeters standing at the door. They were both slim and fair-skinned. As soon as Xu Zhengyang entered the door, he was right

Xu Zhengyang bowed and said, "Welcome."

Xu Zhengyang nodded to the waiter and came to the front desk. When the receptionist saw the guests coming, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, sir, who are you?"

"Well... there are about thirteen or four people. I want a private room."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No!"

"I'm sorry, sir, all our private rooms have been reserved. Can you look at the lobby?" This hotel is considered a relatively high-end hotel in Liaohe City, so business is booming. Usually there are private rooms, but they are rarely occupied.

It's full, but I don't know why today, it's all booked.

"What a coincidence. I'll forget about the lobby. I just want a private room." Xu Zhengyang said this and was about to walk out. When he turned around and saw a group of people coming in from the door, Xu Zhengyang ignored it and continued walking out. He walked to half of them.
Chapter completed!
