Chapter 278 Poor?
Eldest brother gets married, he is the one who picks up the bride, although the second brother has already gone, but there can't be only one pick-up, so the eldest brother is too embarrassing!
Fortunately, just when Lan Sibo couldn't wait, Lan Weicheng's family walked out of the gate of the guest house.
Lan Sibo immediately urged the three of them, "Hurry up, we are going to my sister-in-law's house as soon as possible!"
Because of being too hasty, for a while, Lan Sibo didn't even have time to take a closer look at his own sister.
Lan Sibo's outfit today looks like a spirited young man, and most people can have a good impression of him when they see him, but in Lan Xinya's eyes, Lan Shu, this brother, hurriedly urged them as soon as they met. rude!
So Lan Xinya's first impression of Lan Sibo was not very good.
Later, she discovered that the car that came to pick them up today was no longer the car from yesterday, but a tractor with a flatbed behind it!
Is it to let them sit on a tractor and drink wind and eat dirt along the way?
Lan Xinya's complexion became ugly almost on the spot!
She was about to say something, but the next second, her parents had already climbed onto the tractor—
"Xinya, come up quickly, don't waste your brother's time." Lan Weicheng said.
Her dad said so, how can Lan Xinya complain?
So she had no choice but to get on the tractor with a face of reluctance. Listening to the sound of the tractor, "chug chug chug...", she left the guest house.
…
On the other side, Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming had already arrived at the Tang family.
Before, the Lan family had already taken away the gift money and the three major items with the Tang family. It stands to reason that today they could pick up the bride by following the local wedding customs.
But what Lan Dazhuang didn't expect was that when he walked into the gate of Tang's house and stood in the yard, he found a group of relatives blocking the door. Everyone had to accept red envelopes before he could be allowed into the house to pick up relatives.
There were festive yelling sounds from around, and they asked him for a red envelope in a joking posture.
Before Lan Dazhuang came, his parents were very polite and stuffed a few red envelopes into his pockets.
But how can those few red envelopes be enough for so many people now?
Even Lan Xiuming at the side felt that the Tang family's approach was inappropriate.
It almost caught them off guard!
In order to make his eldest brother's marriage go smoothly, Lan Xiuming immediately left the Tang family, and went to some nearby shops to exchange the great unity on his body for small change.
Although there is no red envelope wrapped in red paper, as long as those relatives of the Tang family who block the door get the money, who would care if it is wrapped in red paper?
After Lan Xiuming went back with the money and gave 50 cents to each person blocking the door, someone finally stepped aside.
But there are still some relatives of the Tang family who are not satisfied.
"It's only fifty cents, how about sending a beggar? At least one... two yuan!"
One person is two yuan, and there are at least 17 or 18 people blocking the door. The sum of this money is directly equivalent to a month's wages for ordinary workers in the county.
If you really want to send money out without blinking an eye, then you are really being taken advantage of.
After all, the gift money for a family to attend a wedding banquet in this era is only two or three dollars. If the relationship is very close and the family conditions are good, the gift money of five dollars will be accompanied.
Lan Xiuming frowned slightly when he heard that the other party asked for two yuan.
Although Lan Dazhuang knew that there should not be such a way to pick up a relative, in order to get a wife smoothly, he decided to admit it through gritted teeth!
It's just that he came out today to pick up the bride, and he didn't bring any money with him.
Although Lan Xiuming brought some, who would carry dozens of dollars every day, which is almost a month's salary?
The big unity he just went to a nearby store to exchange is the largest denomination he carries.
The rest is only a few yuan in change, and the total sum is not enough for the requirements of the relatives of the Tang family who are blocking the door.
Fortunately, at this time, the sound of a tractor sounded outside the door.
Lan Xiuming immediately walked out of the gate of the Tang family, saw the third brother, and asked Lan Sibo to take out all the money on his body without saying a word!
Although Lan Sibo didn't know what was going on, he still listened to what his second brother said.
So he dug out all the pockets on his body and only scraped together a dozen or so yuan.
This little money plus what Lan Xiuming originally brought was still a little short. In the end, Lan Weicheng took out a few cards from the Great Unity and came out to support, which solved the problem.
Over there, Lan Xiuming was busy going to a nearby business store to change change.
Here, Lan Sibo jumped off the tractor, told Lan Weicheng's family of three to wait for him in the car, and then headed towards the gate of the Tang family.
But he hadn't taken a few steps when he heard a burst of laughter behind him—
"It costs about ten yuan for the whole body, heh~ I'm really poor."
Although Lan Xinya spoke in a low voice, she was not too evasive, and Lan Sibo could clearly hear this sentence!
Lan Sibo paused slightly, he really didn't expect that his own sister would say such words of contempt for his brother!
At this time, Lan Weicheng's scolding voice followed Lan Xinya's ridicule, "Xinya! How did you talk?!"
Seeing that her father was obviously unhappy, Lan Xinya immediately shut up, looking obedient.
Hearing that the three members of the Lan family in Jingdu didn't all look down on him, Lan Sibo sighed in his heart and continued towards the Tang family.
Big brother's marriage is the most important right now, and other things have to be put in the back row.
…
More than ten minutes later, the Tang family had the change that Lan Xiuming had exchanged, and after distributing it to the relatives of the Tang family who were blocking the door, Lan Dazhuang finally got his wish, entered the Tang family's house, and received daughter in law.
At this moment, Tang Chu was wearing a red cheongsam, her hair was tied up, and a red flower was pinned to her bun. She had light makeup on her face, her eyes were slightly red, and she didn't know whether she was crying or angry.
She also heard the incident of asking for money from her relatives outside the door.
According to Tang Chu's temperament, she originally wanted to go out and go with her man.
But in the room, her mother and grandma stopped her.
Her mother said that these are all rules, to help her test whether the man outside the door loves her or not.
And her grandma said that the rules must be fulfilled, otherwise her marriage will not be happy.
This sentence almost reached the bottom of Tang Chu's heart. She hoped that she and Brother An De could live happily ever after, so she endured it.
Now that he finally sees her man, Tang Chu is about to leave with him immediately!
Before she leaves, she has one more thing to do!
Tang Chu looked at the two brothers beside Lan Dazhuang, and then said in front of the whole yard, "Bicycle, sewing machine, watch, these are the three major things my man gave me."
"Now I'm going to get married, everyone be a witness for me, today I'm going to marry with my things."
After speaking, Tang Chu immediately greeted the two brothers from the Lan family, walked to her grandmother's house, and moved her things away—
No matter how reluctant or reconciled her grandma is, she will never let her grandma take advantage of her again!
