Military Marriage: Boss, my sister-in-law got beaten up again

Chapter 468: Practice 3 Rounds

Gu Yao hasn't been shopping for a long time.

I didn’t expect that it’s still so far away from the New Year, but we’ve already started preparing.

Gu Yao thought about it and realized that if she queued up now, even until noon, she might not be able to buy much.

She thought about it and said, "Why don't we go to West City and take a look?"

Zhang Kui was in Xicheng. She found Zhang Kui and it was easy for her to buy things.

"There are also long queues over in West City. It's much more popular than here, and there are more people buying things. There's a kind of rice there that's delicious, but it's really expensive, 50 cents a pound. I can't afford it, so I bought two pounds to try it. It's really good stuff, but it's also expensive." Aunt Chen was still unsatisfied when she thought of the taste.

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Chen had also eaten the rice she supplied.

"Mom, Aunt Chen, I know someone over there, a comrade-in-arms from the opposition who works there. I'll go look for her. When the time comes, just tell her what we want and ask her to help weigh it and take it out from there," Gu Yao said.

Aunt Chen slapped her thigh and said, "It has to be Xiao Gu again. Let's go to West City."

Wang Cuihua and Chen Zhaodi were not very familiar with this place, but after getting in the car, Chen Zhaodi became obviously much more familiar with it.

Gu Yao asked: "Zhaodi, are you tired? If you are, let your sister-in-law ride you and you can take a rest."

"No, sister-in-law, I'm not tired, I'll take you." She had just learned how to ride, so of course she wanted to take advantage of the fact that the bike was at home and ride for a while longer.

When we arrived in Xicheng, the road was very busy.

It may be because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and many people are stocking up on New Year’s goods.

There were many people on the road, riding bicycles, carrying a lot of things, and their bicycles were fully loaded.

I saw several people riding several tricycles together, and the tricycles were filled with things.

Just walked to the opposite side.

Gu Yao asked Zhaodi to ride slower.

"Hello, Zhang Ling's boyfriend." Gu Yao saw at first sight that this was Heizi, who had found a temporary job and then became a regular employee.

Of course, this was what Erhua told her.

This is the information she collected.

After all, if you want to do business, you have to check everyone around you carefully.

Heizi was stunned and looked at the person in front of him. It was Zhang Ling's colleague, whom he had seen many times in the hospital.

"Hello, you are here to buy New Year's goods, right?" Heizi said with a smile.

"Well, I brought my aunt and mother-in-law here for a walk. It seems that your cars are full. It seems that you are going to marry Zhang Ling," Gu Yao said jokingly.

Heizi said with a smile: "Yes, we are planning to go to Zhang's house to propose marriage early tomorrow morning. We want to get married before the New Year. Then you can bring your lover over to have a drink at the wedding."

"Well, my husband is a soldier and may not have time, but I will definitely be there and give you a big red envelope for the newlyweds," Gu Yao said with a smile.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, we'll leave first." Heizi called the people behind him and asked them to leave together.

Gu Yao looked at these people. They were not from the supply and marketing cooperative. They must have asked someone to help them get the things privately.

Looking across the country, this many gifts for proposing marriage are quite an explosion.

"Daughter-in-law, your colleague's husband is so rich. This half pig, as well as chickens, ducks, geese and sheep, are all whole and prepared. He is so rich. The wife he married is so precious." Wang Cuihua had never seen such a lavish engagement gift.

"Well, I guess the bride price will be quite large, at least one thousand yuan," Gu Yao roughly estimated.

With Zhang Ling's personality, it is naturally impossible for her to be worse than others. One thousand yuan is also a dowry for a wealthy family.

Children who grew up in the compound are also relatively wealthy.

Gu Yao heard that three to five hundred yuan was the common price for people in the compound.

But it seemed that someone in their compound was getting married, and the highest gift was one thousand. It was impossible for their family to let their daughter be too poor, so naturally the gift would be about the same as the highest gift of others.

Considering Zhang Ling’s competitive personality, the number is probably no less than one thousand.

Wang Cuihua was shocked: "Oh my god, such a huge betrothal gift, they are really selling their daughter."

Chen Zhaodi was so shocked that she was speechless.

"Mom, they are from a large compound, and their family has status, so only people would be willing to pay this price. For ordinary people, a dowry of thirty or fifty yuan is already considered good. For those with poor family conditions, it's about the same as ours, just over ten yuan, which is considered good, but generally it's thirty or fifty yuan. If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Chen," Gu Yao said, throwing the topic to Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen was also jealous just now.

It was Xiao Gu who said he wanted to marry the girl from the compound. One thousand yuan was not that rare. If you have money, you can spend more. Many people were willing to pursue her.

"Xiao Gu is right. If the family is well-off, one thousand yuan is normal and is considered a very high bride price. But for ordinary people, it's usually thirty or fifty yuan, which is not too much. The family conditions are average. If they ask for too much, they will have to borrow money everywhere. In the future, they will all live as a family. It's not good for a girl to ask too much for her to marry into the family, and her life will be difficult. Some families are average, but if they like the man, they will like him and a bride price of ten yuan is fine. They will still marry him. It all depends on fate." Aunt Chen was jealous.

Fortunately, they are an ordinary family and they live a pretty good life.

Their lives now are not as good as those of the best, but better than those of the worst.

My son and daughter-in-law all have jobs, so we don’t have to worry about our grandchildren not having enough to eat in the future.

The food and oil coupons issued by their unit were more than enough for their family to eat. Being able to have enough to eat every meal was much better than most people in the country, and she didn't envy other people's good life.

"Hey, your colleague has really moved from one blessed nest to another. He has a good family background and will never have to worry about food and drink all his life," Wang Cuihua thought of their family's days in the past.

Chen Zhaodi looked at the chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, pigs, and all kinds of food. Their village could not eat so much food even during the New Year. These were for engagement purposes. It would be great if she could marry someone like that.

When Gu Yao saw the expressions on their faces, her eyes were glued to Heizi.

"Zhaodi, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative," Gu Yao reminded.

Only then did she retract her eyes.

Seeing that Gu Yao didn't look at her, she relaxed: "Okay, I got it."

She stared at the tricycle which had now arrived at West City. Following Gu Yao's instructions, she finally arrived at the destination.

Gu Yao said to them: "Aunt Chen, you take my mother and cousin to wait at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. I will bring people out later. Just tell them what you want and give them the money and the ticket. They will arrange as much as you want, but it should be enough for food. Don't get too much."
