Chapter 320 Dutiful Son
Tian Dalin and Li Guihua were quite satisfied with Liu Qingshan, and Erya was also happy, so they asked a middleman to deliver the message the next day.
The Liu family asked for 300 yuan as a gift. Tian Dalin and Li Guihua thought it was too much, but they also felt that Liu Qingshan was really good. After discussing it, they came to Tian Shao.
Li Guihua said: "Big girl, we don't have so much money on hand, can you give us two hundred yuan."
Tian Shao didn't answer the question, but asked, "Did their family encounter any difficulties?"
Li Guihua shook her head and said: "No, the family is poor, so I want to ask for more gift money so that the family's life will be easier."
Tian Shao immediately said: "I have no objection to giving the money if you are satisfied, but don't ask me for money, I have no money."
If the other party has any difficulties, such as someone who is seriously ill, it is understandable to ask for more gift money. But the Liu family has nothing to do, just to ask for more money. To put it bluntly, he was selling his son.
Such a person Tian Shao can't trust the character of the other party, or he doesn't want to be contaminated.
Li Guihua knew that this was a disagreement: "Big ya, er ya is recruiting, Qingshan is pretty good."
Tian Dalin said nothing, but the meaning was the same.
Tian Shao asked the two of them back: "If a matchmaker came to marry Sanya now, and the man's family background is good and he has a job in the city, would you ask for so much dowry?"
Li Guihua didn't even think about it, so she said no, if she scared the other party away, she wouldn't be able to find such a good marriage.
Tian Shao said: "If they really loved their son, they wouldn't ask for so much gift money. If they don't love this son, they will come to the door in the future if there is something wrong with the family. After all, my family is well-off and Erya has a job."
Tian Dalin was silent for a while and said: "Big girl, it's not that easy to recruit a wife. There were people who came to kiss me before, but those people's conditions are not as good as Liu Qingshan."
Tian Shao felt that they were too anxious, and also lowered their posture: "Father, if you and Erya insist on ordering this Liu Qingshan, I have no objection. However, I will not care about it."
She is just a sister, not a mother, so why bother.
The husband and wife struggled for a while and said: "Da Ya, why don't you meet that child of Jiaqingshan. Da Ya, that child is really good."
Erya, the husband and wife still don't know what kind of thing they are. It's okay to use their strength, but nothing else. After getting married and having children, if something happens, Tian Shao will have to help.
Tian Shao waved his hands and said, "Just make up your mind, don't tell me again."
The husband and wife were a little tangled, and finally let Erya make up her mind.
Erya originally planned to go back on Tuesday, but she was delayed because of something. She didn't expect her parents to be so eager. Hearing what the two of them said, Erya remembered what Tian Shao had told her before, so she said, "Father, mother, find someone to test Liu Qingshan and see what he thinks about this gift money? My family, what is the attitude of parents asking him to help the family?"
Tian Shao glanced at Erya quite unexpectedly, because he had listened to the previous words.
Tian Dalin spent some money to find a person who can speak well in Liujia Village to test him out. The result surprised him, Liu Qingshan not only felt that three hundred yuan was not much, but also said that he would support his parents in the future.
According to the customs, the married man is the same as the married girl, and he does not need to support his parents. Of course, it's another matter if you have the ability to support your parents yourself.
I don't want the Tian family to say they don't want it, but the Liu family will immediately change their mind and say that a gift money of one hundred is fine.
If the Liu family had asked for a hundred gift money at the beginning, Tian Dalin and Li Guihua might have agreed without telling Tian Shao. But now knowing Liu Qingshan's temperament, if the Liu family doesn't want gift money, they will not agree.
This Sunday is Tian Jianle's wedding day, and Tian Shao and Sankui went back to Tianjia Village together.
Early the next morning, Tian Dalin and his wife took Erya to help. As for Tian Shao and Sanya who didn't go, two or three more people in the village are enough.
Sankui and Tian Shao said: "Sister, Liuya said she wants to eat fish, so I'll take them to the river to catch fish."
Tian Shao saw him ready to move, smiled and said: "Yes, but you can't let them into the water, and you should also pay attention to safety."
Tired of reading in the house, Tian Shao went to the next door to see Sanya still making clothes seriously. She took over the clothes, and the reward was twenty cents and twenty eggs.
Tian Shao saw that she was so absorbed that she didn't even notice that she entered the room, and felt that the sewing machine should be put on the agenda, otherwise it would be bad for the shoulders and eyes to make clothes with her head down all the time. But she didn't say that, she needs to save some money now, and give her another surprise next year!
San Kui took the three younger ones to catch fish in the river, and returned with half a bucket of fish in two hours. Liuya smiled and said, "Sister, I want to eat the fish with pickled cabbage you made."
Tian Shao shook his head and said, "This fish is too small. If you want to eat sauerkraut fish, you have to cook it with a big fish."
"Is the eldest sister coming back next week?"
Tian Shao shook his head, but said: "You are already on vacation, you can go to the county with us tomorrow for two days."
She just wanted to laugh when she said it. In the final exam, Si Ya's language score happened to be on the passing line, Wu Ya's Chinese was 76 and Mathematics was 78, and Liu Ya's math was 100 and Chinese was 96, ranking first in the grade.
Liuya was pleasantly surprised. She knew that neither her parents nor her parents would object to Tian Shao's decision.
While Siya, Liuya and Sankui were busy in the kitchen, Wuya pulled Tian Shao into the room and said, "Sister, Liuya has already read all your third-grade textbooks, and even understood them all."
"What?"
Wuya said in a low voice: "Sister, Liuya has already finished the third grade courses by herself. Big sister, I told Liuya that since she finished the third grade courses by herself, she should go to the fourth grade, but she is unwilling."
"Why not?"
Wu Ya said helplessly: "She said she didn't want to be separated from me, but it would cost an extra year to study for an extra year. Besides, she understands everything in the books, so sitting in the classroom is boring!"
Tell Tian Shao about this, hoping she can persuade Liuya to skip a grade.
Tian Shao refused, saying: "This is Liuya's choice, we should respect her. You don't have to worry about wasting money, I earn two shares now, so it's no problem for you to study."
Wuya said: "But I think it's a waste of time for her to do this! Why stay in the second grade when you can go to the fourth grade? You can do a lot of things in two years."
Tian Shao immediately looked at Wu Ya with admiration, but she still did not change her attitude: "If you can persuade Liu Ya, then let her go to the fourth grade, if not, then go to the second grade with you. Also, Wu Ya, Your grades are not good, and it will be difficult for you to enter middle school."
Now is not compulsory education, and a large number of people have to be weeded out at the junior high school. She knew that Si Ya and Wu Ya were not material for studying, but she still hoped that they could go to junior high school.
Wuya was very disappointed that she didn't find an alliance.
