Chapter 63 It’s too difficult to enter the city
“We have a visitor, the youngest is back with his partner.” Liu Xiao’e replied with a smile, and poured him a basin of water and asked him to wash his hands.
Gu Jiu stood up hurriedly and handed cigarettes to several grown men who came in.
"Okay, okay, the young man is good, he looks energetic." Lin Dashan put the cigarette behind his ear and began to wash his hands.
"Dad, brother, my name is Gu Jiu. I am Lin Shu's lover. Please take good care of me in the future." Gu Jiu was very nervous when he saw his father-in-law and uncle for the first time.
With the sound of dad, Lin Dashan stopped washing his hands, shook off the water drops on his hands, turned his eyes around Gu Jiu and Lin Shu, and asked seriously: "You call me dad? Honestly, where have you been? One step?”
Everyone present looked at the two people with surprise in their eyes.
Especially Lu Yinhua, when she saw Gu Jiu, she was shocked. Wasn't this man the savior who saved several children last time? When he thought about this, Her eyes traced across Lin Shu's chest.
Lin Shu was doubted by the family. She was ashamed and angry, and stamped her feet: "What are you looking at? Dad, you don't believe your daughter so much. Am I like that to your daughter? Without you I agree that I have nothing to do with him. If you disagree today, I will immediately cut off all contact with him!”
She is angry.
The family actually suspected that she had deeper contact with that boy.
As soon as these words came out, the most nervous people at the scene were Comrades Gu Jiu and Liu Xiao'e. One was afraid of losing his partner, and the other was afraid of losing his best son-in-law.
"Lin Shu, I am sincerely devoted to you. Please don't say nonsense like cutting off contact with me from now on. My heart can't stand this stimulation!" Gu Jiu covered his chest, looking shocked.
"That's right, you little girl, don't say such hurtful words. Also," Liu Xiao'e instantly pointed the muzzle at Lin Dashan: "What are you talking about, old man? Nine Brother, I call you dad out of respect for us. Why do you have such dirty thoughts in your sensitive heart?”
If other people heard this, they would think that my innocent girl is a watery woman.
This old man is just a country bumpkin and can't speak.
"That's right, Dad, how can I behave like this in the future?" Lin Shu said with an angry face.
Lin Dashan was dumbfounded, never expecting that his just words could be so lethal.
“What’s going on with your group of landlords? I don’t mean that. I just want to ask what the process is like?”
As a father, he has to know where his daughter and the boy have progressed so that they can make arrangements for the next step.
Gu Jiu held his chest and exhaled, and explained with a smile: "Dad, I am currently dating Lin Shu, and we have reached the point of discussing marriage. I want to discuss it with you when I come home this time. , What are your requirements for the bride price? I want to register my marriage with Lin Shu as soon as possible."
Lin Dashan's heart skipped a beat, as soon as possible?
These two words contain a lot of meaning.
As soon as possible, does that mean they are trying to cover up something?
But this time he didn't dare to show it, let alone look at his daughter with doubtful eyes, and coughed: "What do you think about the bride price?"
"My family means a gift of two hundred, plus a gift of two hundred. Three turns and one ring. Do you have anything to add? "
Hiss!
The Lin family all took a breath of shock.
Nowadays, the bride price for marrying a daughter-in-law in rural areas is only one hundred yuan, which is the highest amount. The less is dozens of yuan and two sets of clothes.
As soon as Gu Jiu opened his mouth, he gave three turns and one ring plus two hundred yuan in gift money, which really scared these honest people.
"We have nothing to add, just follow your family's standards." As the head of the family, Lin Dashan tried his best to stabilize himself, but he could not lose the face of the family as if he had never seen the world.
Sure enough, the son-in-law she was interested in had never let her down. Comrade Liu Xiao'e hurriedly asked one of the two daughters-in-law to pick vegetables in the private plot and the other to cook in the kitchen. Today is considered a good day for the Lin family, and they have to cook some decent dishes to entertain their prospective son-in-law.
Lin Shu moved a stool and sat next to Lin Gang, "How did you sell loaches in the countryside yesterday? What was the price?"
When Lin Gang heard the question, he replied without changing his expression: "I don't have to worry about selling at all. The price is right, one yuan per catty."
"One yuan per catty is not bad." Lin Shu turned around and got closer. Lin Dongfa asked the same thing next to him.
The eldest nephew Lin Dongfa couldn’t help but twitching at the corner of his mouth after hearing this, “I can get the loach and eel into the city without worrying about selling them, and the price can be as high as one yuan per catty. That’s right. The process of transporting it into the city is too long. It’s hard.”
The loach and eel they picked up yesterday were saved for nearly half a month and weighed about 100 kilograms. Two wooden barrels plus water weighed about 120 kilograms.
The Xiaohe production team traveled more than 20 miles to the countryside to pick the products. The purchase price of the sales department was 60 cents per catty, which was very different from their estimated price.
In the end, the third uncle gritted his teeth and said that he could sell them at a high price if he picked them up in the county seat. So the uncle and nephew finally squeezed into the bus, but the bus broke down halfway. As a result, they had to carry it on their shoulders for the last twenty miles to the county town.
Needless to say, it was hard work, but if he had to do it again, he would definitely not want to try it again, it was too difficult.
In the county town, the loach and eel were sold out quickly, costing more than one hundred and one yuan, but we also missed the bus that runs once a day.
There was no other way. In the end, the uncle and nephew carried a load of empty barrels and walked back to Xiaohe Village from the county town on their legs.
More than sixty miles, I walked back all on my feet, the soles of my shoes almost coming out from friction. By the time I got home, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening, almost nine o'clock in the evening.
"Up to now, I have peeled off a layer of skin from my shoulders, and eight blood blisters have appeared on the soles of my feet."
Lin Shu: "."
Looking at him with a look of pity. The tired eldest nephew, no need to ask, you know that the eldest nephew must be the main force yesterday, Lin Gang is just a soy sauce.
"Since you were overdrawn yesterday, why did you go to work this morning? If you are tired, just rest at home for two more days."
"Today is just thinning seedlings, but you are not tired. Besides, "Well, if I don't work for one day, I will lose one day's work points." Lin Dongfa inherited 100% of his elder brother Lin Wei's hard work.
Lin Shu glanced at the bicycle parked outside the door, "Next time you want to go to the county town, you can ride my bicycle."
Speaking of the bicycle, Lin Dongfa suddenly became energetic, "Sister-in-law, your The bicycle was a betrothal gift from my uncle, right? Are you really willing to let me ride it? "
"What's the matter with our uncle and nephew? Of course I'm willing to ride it for you. If you like it, I'll give this to you." He said generously, thinking about not buying another one.
But Lin Dongfa was frightened by her bold appearance. This was his sister-in-law's betrothal gift. If he dared to take it, his father and grandma would beat him up without his father taking action.
Besides, based on his relationship with his sister-in-law, he can't cheat her. The betrothal gift is the betrothal gift. He can borrow it, but he will never dare to possess it.
"Sister-in-law, don't scare me. Even if you give me the bicycle, I won't dare to ask for it, otherwise my grandpa won't let me go."
The most important thing is that in case my uncle has any objections to my sister-in-law, in the future, When a couple quarrels over such trivial matters, the gains outweigh the losses.
After hearing what he said, Lin Shu smiled and raised her hand to rub his head like she did when she was a child: "You are so good, my sister-in-law did not love you in vain. When you marry a wife in the future, I will give you a 28 Dagang, brand new”
