Chapter 178

Moving is a big event, which can't be done for a while. Yan Chu also has to go to the field to investigate the situation in the province. He can't just go out of the wolf's nest and enter the tiger's den. The friends and neighbors of the new house are within the scope of this key investigation.

Moreover, according to the current situation of the Yan family, even if the current house is sold, it will certainly not be able to afford the house in the provincial capital. In this way, how the landlord is, we also need to focus on observation.

Yan Chu took out a handful of money and handed it to the old lady. It was a thick stack, with zero and whole. It looked like about two or three hundred yuan.

"I sold out the radio and watch I had with me all morning, and all my clothes were sold out. With the rest of the family, I could sell at least seven or eight hundred yuan."

Yan Chu underreported part of his income, but this figure is now. In the old lady's ears, it is already a huge sum of money.

"I inquired. The prices of houses with small courtyards in the provincial capital are high. In particular, I still want to achieve it in one step. The children are getting older and have to have their own bedrooms. According to my plan, we have to buy at least a Sanheyuan with six or seven bedrooms. In this way, 10000 yuan is barely the bottom."

Yan Chu's wild hope made the old lady take a breath. Ten thousand yuan. Looking at the two or three hundred yuan in her hand, she just thought it was a huge sum of money. The old lady suddenly felt that the money was poor.

"There are still a few children who have to prepare the money for reading in the future. In the long run, Dajin's dowry for their sisters and Yuanbao's bride price for marrying his daughter-in-law in the future have to be saved from now on. There are still many places to spend money at home."

The more she listens to her son, the more the old lady feels.

Nowadays, it is popular to marry a daughter-in-law in the city. Thirty six legs, that is, bicycles, watches, sewing machines and radios. Thirty six legs refer to a full set of furniture. These things add up to at least nearly 8100, not counting the money for catering.

In particular, the atmosphere has changed rapidly in the past two years. The old lady looked coldly. People who directly asked the lion for a TV and refrigerator also began to appear. Neither of these two things can be taken down with money.

In front of them, a beautiful girl in the alley married to a cadre family. There was a refrigerator in the bride price. It was said that it was bought by a trustee from Beijing. It cost more than 2000 yuan, which made the family shine.

However, this valuable thing was agreed to be married back to her husband's house at the beginning. The woman can't leave it, otherwise the man will lose a lot.

The old lady pondered her own situation. Her daughter-in-law went early. Some people taboo such things. If her granddaughter wants to marry well, the dowry can't be less. The old lady is also a woman. She knows what kind of life the new daughter-in-law will live in her mother-in-law's house if she doesn't give the corresponding dowry.

She is not a person who only loves her grandchildren but not grandchildren. She certainly doesn't want her grandchildren to be bullied in her mother-in-law's house. In this way, the dowry must be indispensable.

According to the current economic situation, in addition to accompanying the bride price given by the man intact, you have to add at least one or two hundred yuan to the bottom of the box. Five granddaughters, that's not a small number.

And they are still young. When they get married, it's not clear what kind of dowry is popular. Anyway, according to the rising dowry and dowry money in recent years, it will only be high or low.

Originally, I thought my son might be relaxed in a few years. Now it seems that it's not the same thing at all. There are still a lot of places waiting to spend money at home.

The old lady also put out her heart that she just got the money and wanted to improve the living standard of her grandchildren. She had to save all this money. It would be of great use in the future.

"Dad."

When they were about to have lunch, several sisters came out of the room and saw their father coming back. They all came up affectionately.

"Look what Dad brought you."

Yan Chu mysteriously took out a big bag and stared at Yan Fei and Yan Cui who had been thinking about their new clothes. Was grandma wrong? Dad brought them beautiful clothes this time to Shencheng?

Immediately cheered Yan Chu around, and from time to time stretched out his hand to pull the big bag.

Yan Chu didn't sell it for too long. He opened the bag and put the white cloth and some bits and pieces of cloth he brought home in the morning.

These fabrics were brought back when he went to Shencheng. His cousin in Shencheng is engaged in clothing retail business. He knows better than anyone which factory in Shencheng produces high-quality clothes. The clothes he bought were bought from the factory introduced by his cousin, and these fragmentary fabrics are a supplement.

His cousin didn't want it, so he took it back. He thought it might come in handy.

These fabrics are colorful and have different materials. Among them, there are many denim fabrics that have not become popular here, some fabrics with glitters and very short lace segments, but each fabric is not much bigger than a palm, and I don't know what use it can be.

Looking at those colorful fabrics, several children are still very rare. They just turned it over and couldn't find a dress to wear. The children wondered what their father did to show them these broken fabrics.

"Dajin Erzhen, do you want to read?"

Yan Chu asked two older girls.

"Yes."

Yan Jin heard Nai mention reading in the morning. Now her father talked about it again. She quickly nodded heavily. Yan Zhen nodded with hope in her eyes.

"Three beads, four Jadeites and five emeralds. How about you?"

Yan Chu asked three young girls who found it interesting to turn over their favorite broken cloth.

"Well -"

Their three young sisters didn't understand what reading was, but looked at the two older sisters nodding and nodding like joining in the fun.

Children of this age habitually imitate their older brothers and sisters and like to join in the fun. What everyone thinks is good is good.

"Yes, yes."

Afraid that his father didn't think his mind was true enough, the emerald twins grabbed their father's trouser legs and repeated their mind several times like a repeater.

Their skillful thigh hugging almost reminded Yan Chu of the fear that his trousers and belts were seriously tested last night.

Subconsciously, Yan Chu lifted his pants up, coughed and began to coax the five girls.

"You all know the conditions at home. It's not easy to provide for all your children to go to school."

Yan Chu's words made Yan Jin nervous. As her eldest sister, she also knew the situation at home.

Now the tuition fee of primary school is not particularly expensive, but when all the children in the family go to school, it will not add up to a small amount.

Most importantly, the loss of school is not just tuition fees. For example, if Yan Jin goes to school, his family will lose a small labor force. At that time, it will be difficult for grandma to take care of her younger siblings for so many years alone.

In families with many children, some children always have to sacrifice. Yan Jin was silent. She felt that her father might have to say this.

She misses books, but she also loves her brothers and sisters. Her mother died two years ago, and her eldest sister assumed the responsibility of half a mother. At that time, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were also young and cried for her mother day and night. Yan Jin and her grandmother took good care of her brothers and sisters together. For these brothers and sisters, her feelings were deeper.

She knew in her heart that now she should take the initiative to put forward not to study. Who makes her the eldest sister? She should sacrifice for her brother and sister.

When the words came to his mouth, Yan Jin felt that his voice was dry and couldn't open his mouth.

"Reading is a good thing. Only by reading good books and being admitted to a good technical secondary school university can you assign jobs and live a good life in the future. Therefore, as long as you can read it, dad will have to let you go to school even if he smashes the pot and sells iron. However, if you want to save money to save your tuition fees, your sisters can't often wear new clothes and eat meat in the future."

"I will, I will."

What my father said was totally different from what Yan Jingang had just guessed. Little girl, don't mention how happy she was. She couldn't wait to express her ideas.

"I'm the eldest sister. When I get older, I can wear my mother's old clothes. The new clothes will be given to my sisters. I don't have to wear new clothes."

In the precocious little girl's heart, reading is more important than new clothes.

"Dad, will Feifei stop reading?"

"Cui Cui doesn't read anymore."

The little twin girl looked at her father eagerly. It turned out that she couldn't wear new clothes and eat meat when reading. Then she'd better not read.

Two smiling as like as two peas what you want to do, if you don't remember what your responsibilities are, you want to tell them that daddy has money, and that you can do whatever your father wants.

"Four Jadeites and five emeralds, don't you like aunt Lin's black high heels best? If you can study hard and work in factories or organs in the future, you can buy whatever you want with your own money."

Yan Jin thought the two little sisters were too stupid. He couldn't help pointing the two little fools aside.

In the eyes of children, the neighbor's aunt's high-heeled shoes with small heels are the most interesting thing. At this time, I heard from my eldest sister that I can buy such shoes in the future by studying hard. Two naive twins are tangled. Which is better to choose.

"Dad doesn't want you to wear nice clothes. We can't afford ready-made clothes in the mall, but we can try to make them by ourselves. You can make yourself whatever clothes you like."

The Yan family has a sewing machine, which is also a big item in the family. Yan Chu thought that under the care of the old lady, maybe several children can try manual work.

Yan Chu didn't really let them make clothes for themselves. He just thought that this might be a new attempt.

White cloth is the cheapest. These bits and pieces of cloth don't cost money. When the children grow up, they can really make their own clothes. No matter how good-looking they look, they can't say that his father is generous. He's still a miser.

Yan Chu thought that this idea might be very good and saved a sum of clothing expenses.
