Chapter 197: Zhu’s dowry

Xu Fang can't argue with a child.

Besides, my niece has long been spoiled by her sister-in-law, and it's not common to play petty temper.

She explained, "Your eldest cousin has morning sickness and can't eat anything but eggs. She thought you would arrive at noon and go to a restaurant to eat at that time, so I didn't boil eggs at home in the morning. I didn't expect you to come here early in the morning." I'm going to eat at noon, my aunt will order a plate for you at dinner."

Xu Yujia was exposed, and felt embarrassed, "I don't want to eat, I just ask."

At this moment, seeing the courtyard door being pushed open, Zhu Yaowu walked in with something in his hand, Xu Fang looked at it and said, "Eat quickly, both of you", and went out.

Xu Yujia said, "Why did the Zhu family come so early?"

She also looked out of the window curiously, and then saw more than a dozen people coming in, some holding hands and some looking up, she was surprised, "Is this here to give a bride price?"

Ji Ke leaned over. At this time, the people in Ji's house had already greeted them, so they blocked them, but soon the voice of talking came from the outer room.

The visitor was welcomed into the house by Ji's family, and he also heard Li Songlan's voice that wished all the people in the Agricultural Machinery Institute could hear, "Ah, there are so many gifts, Xiaoling, look at how much your husband's family values you."

Xu Yujia pressed her ear to the door, and felt itchy in her heart, "Cousin, let's go out and have a look."

"Let's wait a while, I'm afraid the east room is full of people." Ji Ke refused, sat down at the table, picked up a fried dough stick, and took a bite slowly, "Anyway, I have to bring back the betrothal gift, and my sister will get married tomorrow , and not in a hurry."

Xu Yujia is simple-minded, and didn't see Ji Ke's negativity. Instead, she sat down and had breakfast with her, and agreed, "That's right, let's watch it tonight."

In the east room, Zhu Yaowu brought people over to give the bride price. This time, the Ji family and the Xu family finally saw all five brothers of the Ji family. When they heard that the Zhu family had five sons, they were surprised. After all the sons are excellent, they are even more envious and curious about what they are like.

Today I saw that the five looks are not bad, not to mention their aura, they look like they grew up in a big city, they are polite and humble, Li Songlan's eyes are bright, she only hates that she doesn't have a daughter, otherwise she would have to grab one to do it son in law.

Xu Hongmei also had the same thoughts as Li Songlan after seeing the other three members of the Zhu family. Her eyes fell on Zhu Weiming, the youngest of the Zhu family with the best looks. Among the five brothers, Zhu Weiming was the most decent and elegant in conversation. The youngest of the brothers, but he is very close to Zhu Weidong.

Thinking of Ji Ling's husband, Xu Hongmei couldn't help turning her head to look at him again.

The face is as white as jade, the eyes are like stars, the clear eyes are shining brightly, the eyebrows are smiling, and it melts into people's hearts like the sunshine in spring. He is polite, humble, knowledgeable, well-informed, and respects the elderly. love young.

She heard her husband mention that Zhu Weidong is still making up lessons for Ji Ke, and he will come to visit Ji Yong as soon as possible every time he is on vacation.

Such an excellent person, how could he not be his son-in-law?

Xu Hongmei thinks that God must be blind, what's wrong with that girl Ji Ling? Weak and inexperienced, he used to love to cause trouble, and he didn't know where his good life came from.

It can only be said that the brother-in-law had an accident at the right time, and Ji Ling took advantage of it.

Xu Hongmei was in a daze, her heart was bleeding when she saw the Xu family opened one of the gift boxes and put it in front of Ji Ling.

"The gold bracelets and necklaces here are from my mother, the pearls are from my father, the jade bracelets are from my grandma, and the rest are from my grandpa." Zhu Yaowu didn't look at the box after opening it, explaining that it was Zhu Weiyue who was in the box. Ji's family didn't feel restrained in front of them, and after finishing speaking, they said mischievously, "Sister-in-law, I brought you all the things in the bottom of our house, and you have to pack a big red envelope when I get married."

"Wei Yue." Zhu Weidong scolded softly, but he was not really angry, but dissatisfied that he was joking on this occasion.

Ji Ling also replied with a smile, "That depends on your usual performance."

"Then I will remember my sister-in-law's words." Zhu Weiyue replied, and he was honest.

The Zhu family sent such a valuable thing. No matter how knowledgeable Xu’s father was present, he had never seen so many things. Before, he knew that the Zhu family was powerful, but seeing this moment with his own eyes, he was once again shocked.

The Zhu family is not a son, and there is no reason to give up everything just because of marrying a daughter-in-law, so these things may be just a drop in the bucket for the Zhu family.

Father Xu was shocked, not to mention the other people present.

Come here today to give the bride price, the Zhu family left after delivering the things, and the Zhu family was also busy, and Zhu Weidong also left with him. Before leaving, he told Ji Ling to wear thicker clothes when going out at noon.

After sending the Zhu family away, facing the betrothal gift from the Zhu family, the Ji family took stock again.

There are sewing machines, bicycles, watches, and TVs, and the rest are quilts, which are not cheap to look at. The quilts made of satin and dragon and phoenix are the most popular nowadays.

The small items were brought into the house, and the large items were placed in the yard.

Ji Yong beckoned his son to help him take all his things to Westinghouse, "I'll bring them over when I get married tomorrow."

"Dad, we all have these at home, so let's keep the big ones at home."

"No." Just as Ji Yong spoke, Li Songlan over there snatched the conversation.

"Xiaoling asks you to keep it, keep it, the Zhu family does not lack this thing."

When Ji's family spoke, most of Xu's family would not speak. This time, Xu's mother also spoke, "Since Xiaoling asked to stay, it is also her wish. Don't refuse anymore. The child will be very sad."

"Yes, Dad, you understand Xiaoling's temper. She does things straight and won't bend the corner." Ji Jianhua also persuaded.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ji Yong obviously advised him not to refuse any more, Ji Yong said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll stay, but you are living with two people now, you can't make decisions alone, you have to ask today Wei Dong, he must agree."

"Don't worry, he said my family is up to me." Ji Ling smiled.

Li Songlan looked at the quilt on the kang with a smile, "It looks really good-looking, I don't know where to buy it, your grandma always said that the cotton quilt made at home is heavy, and I re-stretch the cotton every year, and said it was too heavy , I heard that there is a new quilt now, which is light and soft, and it is very comfortable to cover, and now it seems that this kind of quilt really exists.”

"Second Aunt, just give these two quilts to my grandfather and my mother." Ji Ling saw what Li Songlan meant, and although she didn't like it, she answered the conversation. What she saw was her grandfather's attitude when her father was sick.

"How is this good?"

"No, I'm used to having milk caps with you, but I'm not used to anything else." Old man Ji turned his eyes towards his daughter-in-law.

"Dad, Xiao Ling gave it to you, you can take it, it is also her kindness." Ji Yong persuaded.

"Grandpa, take it, I'm your granddaughter, you should be polite to me."

Old man Ji looked at his granddaughter's sincere face, and sighed, "Well, tomorrow is your big day, so I'll keep it."

The last time he and his son came back, there was an envelope under the food, with fifty yuan in it. Old man Ji didn't say anything, but he knew it in his heart, his granddaughter was filial.
