Chapter 48: bride price

Chapter 48—Coloring Ceremony
Mr. Liu opened the door, it was Liu Qian, and the dinner outside was ready to stop.
Although the dinner tonight is a bit rushed, but it is also full of richness, most of them are already done in Liu Yueyue's home. Some of Liu Qian's dishes and snacks are also icing on the cake, so that everyone who has not eaten her craft for a long time is very open. Appetite, the guests and the guests were happy, and said a lot of gossip, Liu butou family knows the meaning of Mr. Liu, but also very happy for Liu Qian, also said a lot of blessings, but there is no formal appointment with Zhang Jia, Therefore, speaking is still very subtle.
Everyone is very happy, only Zhang Xiaohu uses his eyes to bow to Liu Yueyue from time to time. Unfortunately, Liu Yueyue’s attention is not in him, which makes him inevitably disappointed.
After the meal, I said a little bit later. Liu Qian, who had walked for an afternoon, had long yawned, so Liu Kai arranged for Zhang Xiaolong’s brothers to stay and rest, and the Liu butcher family also went home to rest.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaolong’s brothers will resign back to Guozhuang. Liu Qian considers that he has not returned home for a long time and wants to stay for a few more days. Moreover, Zhang Xiaolong’s return this time to discuss matters with his sister. I followed the real shyness and did not follow. Mr. Liu is deliberately arrogant Zhang Xiaolong, let him go back to explain his intentions with Zhang Cai, do not have a guilty conscience about the previous rejection, but also Zhang Xiaolong pick a good day to come over and set the marriage.
Zhang Xiaolong was naturally full of promises, so in the eyes of Liu Qian's reluctance, the two men went on the road.
The way to come is full of sweet roads, and the way back is full of joy.
Back to Guozhuang, Da Laoyuan can see the family standing in the small courtyard through the low wall of Zhangjia. From time to time, looking into the village, it is estimated that last night, except Zhang Xiaohua, all others are not good. Rest. Seeing Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu appear in the field of vision, Zhang Xiaohua jumped up first, ran quickly and ran to Zhang Xiaolong's front, cheerfully asked: "Big brother, what is the situation? We all hope Good news? Hey~~ Why didn’t Qianqian’s sister come back? Is it...

Zhang Xiaohua did not dare to ask any more.
Zhang Xiaolong hasn't spoken yet. Zhang Xiaohu said with no anger: "You didn't look at the big brother with peach blossoms, and you are happy to close your mouth. You still pick up the bottle in my hand. I have been all the way."
Zhang Xiaohua was happy, but did not pick up the bottle in the hands of Zhang Xiaohu, but turned and flew home, and reported to her mother.
Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei, who received good news, were also very happy. They ran to the door of the yard to greet their son. Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu were surrounded by Zhang’s small courtyard like a hero. When Zhang Xiaolong sat in the chair, he took the water that Zhang Xiaohua had handed over. He drank a few mouthfuls. This began to talk about the situation in Baligou. Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei listened to the dance of the eyebrows, and secretly put down a big stone. When Zhang Xiaolong proudly said that Mr. Liu apologized and let Zhang’s pick a good day to book a kiss, the two listened to mixed feelings. . The good news is that he really didn't read the wrong person. Mr. Liu is still a good friend who can be deeply friends. Of course, he is a relative family in the future. He is a good family who can be assured. The worry is that this family should have a gift, and so on. This is a difficult problem in this respect. It is less, and it doesn't matter if you have a face. The face of Mr. Liu's family can't be hanged, but he gives more, and he can't afford it. He gives Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian plainly. It will be difficult to live in the future.
However, these are all things to consider in the future. The key now is to celebrate a little, let's set aside the next day. Guo Sufei also joyfully told this grandmother that she had been bedridden, and her grandmother was happy and ruddy.
In the next few days, Zhang Jiadu was immersed in joy. When Spring returned to the earth, Zhang Xiaolong’s spring also arrived. Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei were busy booking things, and Zhang Xiaolong and other three brothers were busy in the field. Spring ploughing, the day is warmer every day, the land in the field has already been frozen, and the spring breeze blowing on the face reminds people that spring ploughing is not too early.
The custom of ordering a relative is also very simple. It is that the man’s sister-in-law and the mother are carrying gifts of various colors and preparing the man’s birthday characters. In the woman’s home, the woman accepts the gift and gives the woman’s birth character to the man. Even if the contract is completed, of course, there are times when the time of the marriage is settled. More is to come to the next marriage and then set the time. In fact, the original gift is just a variety of gifts, but people have the psychology of comparison, this gift is more than each family, at this time, a lot of time directly to send money, and sometimes called color gold.
This is not the case, Zhang Cai old two are worrying about the gold.
Zhang Cai believes that Liu Qian is a good wife. She should give more money, which means that Zhang Jiaxuan is a precious wife, and Mr. Liu is also very face-to-face. Guo Sufei believes that although it should be expressed, but his own family The conditions are limited, not too expensive, otherwise the wife will not come over, this day can not be passed.
In this case, Zhang Cai actually knows it. He thought about it before, but he was hesitant when it came to the scene. After all, isn’t there a few hundred and twenty silver tickets in the house? With this possibility, my heart certainly wants to do things better. When Zhang Cai talked about the silver ticket, Guo Sufei also had some hesitation. When he talked with Liu Qian earlier, he also made up his mind to use this silver ticket, but was stopped by Liu Qian. At this moment, since there is a silver ticket, why? No need to? Moreover, the time has passed more than a month, and no one has come to the family to make a living. I think people really compensate the money. So, this money is their own, why not use it?
The differences between the husband and wife seem to have disappeared, and they tend to use this silver ticket. So, Guo Sufei took the silver ticket hidden in the bottom of the box with the token. Then I called Zhang Xiaolong into the back room.
Zhang Xiaolong’s injury has healed rapidly. These days, the effort has not been fixed, but the injured arm can’t lift heavy objects. Zhang Xiaolong entered the inner room and asked, "Hey, mother, what's the matter? I am going to go down to the soil."
Guo Sufei said with affection: "Your arm has not healed, or do less work, let the tiger and the little flowers do more."
Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile: "I have been in bed for a long time this month. This bone feels rusting. Now the activity is really very comfortable. Moreover, the small flower is still small, the body is long, and How can I let him work more?"
Zhang Cai said: "I know that you are very upbeat now, and we have no plans to stop you, but the days are long, and you pay more attention to your body."
Zhang Xiaolong said: "Know, hey, what's the matter? It won't be easy for me to rest."
Guo Sufei said: "Oh, this is the case. You and I are going to go to Baligou to make you and Qianqian's parents down in a few days. However, we can't get a good gift, we are going to put the last time. Those silver tickets are taken out to redeem a bit."
After that, put two silver tickets and tokens in front of Zhang Xiaolong and pointed to the token and said, "You must hold this thing first. If something happens when you redeem it, take it out and let it work."
Zhang Xiaolong looked at Yan and Niang’s eager face and the silver ticket and token in front of him. He sighed and didn’t pick it up. He said,
Hey, mother, this silver ticket is not saying that it will not be used again. ?"
Zhang Cai smiled and said: "Yes, it was said at the time, but the situation is stronger than the people. We don't have a decent gift, and Liu Qian is not very faceless in their family?"
Zhang Xiaolong said: "Hey, if you talk about the good or bad of your family, these ten miles and eight townships are much stronger than the ones. The people who went to Liujia’s relatives are also more seas. What are we able to compare? People Liu Qian Willing to marry our family is not to look at our family. The day before yesterday at Liu Jia, Mr. Liu told me a lot. He knows the situation of our family and does not mention any bride price. I don’t think we need to swollen. The face is full of fat."
Guo Sufei said: "Xiaolong, people don't mention it, and it doesn't mean that people don't care. People don't blame, let's be prepared."
Zhang Xiaolong said: "No, my mother, I can't ruin my family because of a daughter-in-law. This silver ticket is a curse. We must not use it."
Guo Sufei said: "This is what I have combined with you. I haven't found it for so long. It should be fine. Besides this token, they may not dare to deal with us."
Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile: "Mother, this token is the life of Xu Xuxia, let us save lives, just to show that if there is a bully to find something, use it to prove that she has to protect us, and Wen Daxia did not say it? Move these silver tickets, and when the bullies come to the door, they will pay back. If people come to the door in the future, we don’t have silver tickets for others. What should we do?

Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei are said to be speechless. In fact, they don’t know these things, they care about chaos, and things about their sons will inevitably be confused.
Zhang Xiaolong added: "The Liu family appreciates that ours is not something like money. Moreover, isn't there a thing that is more precious than money? Is there a chance to give Mr. Liu a lot?"
Zhang Cai said with a smile: "What is better in our family than money? Why don't I know?"
Zhang Xiaolong smiled mysteriously and said the following words.
