70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 711 Preparing Gifts
"That's right, uncle, this gift is indispensable. You must make a good impression on the other party when you meet for the first time. Otherwise, no matter how many things you give in the future, it will not save your life. The image in their hearts. If they feel dissatisfied because you didn't bring anything, and won't let Li Ying marry you, then I won't have a little aunt, and you won't have a place to cry." Qu Yingqiu quickly agreed.

"That's fine, then I'll take it." Seeing that Qu Yingqiu was starting to worry about him like a kid, Qu Guangming could only say helplessly.

"Li Ying's house is far away. It's not easy for us to go there. If we can settle the marriage as soon as possible, we should settle it as soon as possible. If not, your father and I will make another trip. As for the bride price, as long as our family takes They can do as much as they want, so don't have any conflicts with them because of the dowry." Grandma Qu instructed again worriedly.

His son finally fell in love with a girl, and she was very satisfied, but she couldn't just break up because of some money.

"Don't worry, mother, money is something outside of me. I don't take it too seriously, and I will never be stingy. Besides, I'm already this old, and I can handle this by myself, so I don't need you and my father to make a special trip. Qu Guangming nodded helplessly as he listened to his mother's instructions as if they were treating a child.

"No matter how old you are, you are still a junior. If Li Ying's family cares about the rules in this regard, then it's better for me and your mother to take a trip. At that time, we can hire a matchmaker from them and come to propose marriage directly, so as to save them from fussing about it. Challenge." Old Master Qu said aloud.

"That's right, Guangming. In rural areas, people usually care more about their parents' names and what the matchmakers say. I think it's better to ask clearly, so as to save the people in their village from gossiping." Qu Guanghua also echoed.

"Well, I see. Let's see it when the time comes. If necessary, I'll call or send a telegram to my family. Parents, you can go there when you have time." Qu Guangming also lived in the countryside for many years, so he knows What his father and his elder brother said made sense, so they nodded in response.

Then he was going to take his things to his adoptive father, where Li Ying was waiting for him.

But his mother prepared so many things that he couldn't hold them with two hands, so he had to ask his elder brother to drive him there.

"Guangming, why did you buy so many things?" Arriving at Li Yingbiao's house, Li Ying asked suspiciously when he saw Qu Guangming unloading so many things from the car.

"I didn't buy it. My mother prepared it for me. I want to take it as a gift from your house." Qu Guangming explained aloud.

"That's too much, how can I use so much! Brother Qu, you'd better take some back and leave it for your uncles and aunts to eat!" Hearing Qu Guangming say that all these are to be brought to his home, Li Ying quickly refused and said to Qu Guanghua.

"This is a gift my mother prepared for your family. If I take it back, my mother will definitely cut me off. Brother and sister, don't hurt me. And these things seem to be a lot, but they are all daily necessities, not expensive , just take it." Qu Guanghua refused while helping to unload the things.

"I still have some things for Guangming. It's so much to add one piece, how can I get it?"

Li Yingbiao had already prepared the money for Qu Guangming's marriage, so when he knew that Guangming was going to visit his future mother-in-law, he bought a lot of things without hesitation.

If you add these things from the Qu family, it's really hard to get.

"Put one piece away later and pick out the important and rare ones. It's not too late to buy the rest when I get there." Qu Guangming said with determination.

His mother had prepared so many things, so his adoptive father must have only a little more, so many things, let alone the two of them, even if there were two more people, they might not be able to get it.

"Why don't you drive my car there, so that you can get more things." Knowing that Qu Guangming would drive, Qu Guanghua suggested.

"It's almost the end of the new year, and your work is the busiest time, how can I drive your car away, and it's such a long way, I don't know if it's good or not, let's take the train." Qu Guangming directly refused .

Most of the current roads are dirt roads, and it is not easy to walk when it rains or snows, so sometimes driving is really not as convenient as taking a train.

"That's fine. Your sister-in-law and I prepared the 200 yuan for you. You can buy whatever you need to buy there. If you don't have any money, call us and I'll send it to you." After moving the car Qu Guanghua took out a dozen Da Tuanhe from his pocket and handed it to Qu Guangdao.

"I've been saving my salary and allowance. I have money in my pocket, which will be enough to spend after I get married. Besides, it's not easy for you and your sister-in-law to earn money. I can't take this money." Qu Guangming quickly refused.

Not to mention that he has money in his pocket, even if he has no money, he is already in his 30s, and he is embarrassed to ask for money from his elder brother and sister-in-law.

"You can take it if I give it to you. If you are poor and rich, it is better to have some money in your pocket when you are away from home. Besides, your sister-in-law and I's wages are not low, so the money is easy to earn."

Regardless of Qu Guangming's refusal, Qu Guanghua stuffed the money into Qu Guangming's pocket.

Ever since his younger brother was lost, he has been feeling guilty and uneasy. He originally thought that he would make up for and help his brother when he was found back, but Guangming is no worse than him, and he doesn't need his help at all. , He has nowhere to show off his enthusiasm.

Now there is finally a place where he can be used, how can he let it go.

"Brother, I really can't take this money. You should take it back and buy two new clothes for Yingqiu." Qu Guangming refused again.

"Just take it. If you really don't need it at that time, you can take it back. If you don't accept the money, you don't recognize me as a big brother." Qu Guanghua said with a straight face.

"Guangming, you can continue, this is also the wish of your elder brother and sister-in-law." Li Yingbiao persuaded from the side.

"That's fine, then I'll take it, thank you brother and sister-in-law." Qu Guangming nodded his thanks.

After Qu Guanghua left, Qu Guangming and Li Ying began to pick out what to take.

"It's the first time for us to come to the door. We just bring a catty of white sugar. Just bring bottles and cans. You don't need to take anything else." Seeing that the two of them did not remove many things after a selection, Li Ying hurriedly said again.

"If you marry close, you can come to the door often. It's okay to bring a little at a time. Isn't it far away from us? We may only go there once a year. You should bring more things. You can't let the villagers see the joke, right? ?” Li Yingbiao persuaded.

Li Yingbiao is well aware of the gossip nature of rural women. If it is true, as Li Ying said, that she would go there with a catty of sugar and a bottle of canned food, the people in the village will definitely say, what if Li Ying married in the city? Sample?Might as well marry someone from the next village.

"By the way, I asked my old friend to leave me a 12-inch TV ticket. This ticket is valid all over the country. When you get to Li Ying's hometown, just go to their supply and marketing agency to buy it. This will save you from having to carry it back and forth." Li Yingbiao thought of the biggest thing he had prepared, and quickly took it out and said.

"Uncle, I can't take something as expensive as a TV ticket. You don't have a TV at home. You should buy a TV and watch it yourself! And my house is not connected to electricity. Even if you buy a TV, you won't be able to watch it. It's better not to waste it." Hearing that Li Yingbiao even prepared a TV ticket, Li Ying quickly refused in fright.

"This is a gift I prepared for your family. How can it be said to be a waste? Didn't you say last time that most of the households in your village are connected to electricity, but your family's conditions do not allow it, so you don't use electricity? Wait until you buy it. For TV, let Guangming go directly to the electrician in your brigade and pull a wire for your house, wouldn’t it be enough? Besides, your grandma is getting old, and the kerosene lamp is too dim, so it’s inconvenient to get up in the middle of the night, so it’s better to use electricity. "Li Yingbiao persuaded.

"That's right, the electricity bill is not expensive now, and it doesn't cost much a month. Your younger siblings are getting older. If other households use electricity, but yours doesn't, they will be envious and inferior. Wait for your younger siblings to kiss each other in the future." At that time, it will be looked down upon by others, at worst, I will pay your electricity bill for two years." Qu Guangming took the ticket from Li Yingbiao and said aloud.

"Okay, but you don't have to pay the electricity bill. You have to spend a lot of money to buy this TV, and I send a lot of money home every month. My family can't spend that much, and it can be used now. electrified."

She could be wronged herself, but she didn't want her family to wrong her, so Li Ying nodded in agreement.

Then she began to laugh happily. If there were no major changes in their village this year, this TV would be the first TV in their village. Her younger brothers and sisters would definitely like it when they saw it.

And with this TV, it will be easier for her brother to talk about kissing in the future.

With this TV, Li Ying would not let Qu Guangming take too many things to her house.

But Li Yingbiao wished that Qu Guangming would take all the things. He would not listen to her. Even after picking several times, there were still more than half left.

"There are such expensive TVs, how can I take so many things? If the villagers find out, they will say that our family is selling girls, so let's just take a few, otherwise I don't want the TV. " Seeing that Li Ying didn't listen to what he said, she could only threaten her.

"Okay, okay, if you don't take it, don't take it, you just take the important things, and if you need other things, let Guangming buy them from the supply and marketing cooperative."

Seeing that Li Ying was so persistent, Li Yingbiao could only sift through it again, leaving only a dozen more valuable and scarce things.

In the early morning of the next day, Qu Guangming took his things, and together with Li Ying, excitedly boarded the train to Li Ying's hometown.
