Sun Fugui didn't know what his comrades were thinking. When the truck was loaded with goods and ready to go home, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative here and bought a ten-foot piece of thickened pink and blue plaid cloth.
Thinking of his wife putting on new clothes, Sun Fugui, who was very happy, went to a small alley and bought two kilograms of glutinous rice.
He heard from his second aunt that Qingmai likes to eat glutinous rice and meatballs. This amount of glutinous rice should be enough for his wife to eat for two meals, right?
With this question in mind, Sun Fugui set out on his way home early the next morning.
It takes one and a half days to go back and forth, plus the time for shipping, loading, and vehicle maintenance. Sun Fugui basically takes five days every time he runs this route.
It was obviously the third time he had run a familiar route, but this time, Sun Fugui actually felt it was a bit long.
He still didn't understand why he was like this, but he was happy when he thought that he could get married when he returned this time, and that there would be someone waiting for him at home.
During the five days that Sun Fugui was away, something happened in the Xia family.
Time goes back to three days ago. During the day, Xia Hongjun and Hu Yuhua visited their in-laws. When they returned home, they announced in public that their second aunt had helped them (a ten-pound cornmeal gift from the Sun family as a thank you to the matchmaker) and that their eldest daughter Xia Qingling had sent ten yuan. .
"Qing Ling is the eldest sister and you are the eldest brother. She gave Qingmai ten yuan to buy a dowry. As the eldest brother, why don't you also show your appreciation?"
As soon as Hu Yuhua said these words, Xia Qingming instantly put away the fake smile on his face.
Seeing his eldest son's reaction, Hu Yuhua guessed what he was going to say, thinking of his second sister's advice, and quickly continued: "Wealth has ability, your second aunt said that the leader of the transportation team values him, Qingmai's dowry is good-looking, our old Xia The family also has dignity.”
After saying what his second sister taught him, Hu Yuhua anxiously waited for his eldest son to answer.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son still didn't respond. The younger son rolled his eyes and smiled and said, "Mom, please lend me ten yuan to pay for the dowry for the second sister. I will pay you back slowly over the course of several months after I have paid my salary."
Regardless of whether Xia Qingyuan would repay the money later or how, at least his words made Xia Hongjun and his wife and Xia Qingmai happy.
Just as Xia Qingmai was thinking about using rags to sew a money bag for her little brother, Xia Qingming nodded seriously and said, "Mom, please give me ten yuan in advance."
As soon as Xia Qingming said these words, Xia Qingmai lost the desire to listen.
She was indeed right, Xia Qingming was a hypocritical person.
Xia Qingyuan at least said how to pay it back, but he didn't even mention it.
Her parents, the eldest son, might as well not have had one!
Although Xia Qingmai didn't have much cash in hand, she was not short of dowry.
Although she was in poor health in her previous life and had long been declared by imperial doctors and folk miracle doctors that she would not be able to get married and would not live to be twenty-five years old, her father, queen, mother, and later several royal brothers would be added as long as they thought it was good. They will all be brought to her.
Ruian Palace has more than a dozen warehouses containing various precious treasures and gorgeous satin, as well as ordinary grain, cloth and jewelry. In the past few days, she also found some in the small kitchen of Ruian Palace and the rooms where the palace residents lived.
There are also furniture made of expensive wood and furniture made of ordinary wood in Ruian Palace.
As long as she wants, she can buy dozens of dowries right now.
She didn't dare to make it too conspicuous without taking it out. These days were enough for her to carefully read through the memories left by the original owner and understand the specialness of this era.
But Xia Qingming's face of only wanting to take advantage without paying anything is really disgusting.
Her parents would say those words in front of the whole family, and they must be thinking of establishing a good relationship with her so that they can use Sun Fugui's connections in the future.
But it was obvious that Xia Qingming understood, but he was still unwilling to give anything.
No longer thinking about listening, Xia Qingmai stood up and walked directly to her cubicle.
"Second sister?"
