Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 721
Standing in the yard, Mu Zhen looked around the yard with the light of the door lamp. The yard was very clean. Old Mu was very surprised. Why didn't there even be a tree in such a big yard?

"Don't stand at the door, come in and sit down!" Dayou's father greeted.

"Okay, okay, you're too polite!" Lao Mu said as he entered the room, and Xiuhua followed.

On the table facing the door of the room, a [-]-inch black and white TV was broadcasting news broadcasts.

"Are you alone at home?" Xiuhua asked.

"Originally there were only the three of us in the family, and Dayou was the eldest. The second child went to visit his sister's house today, but didn't come back." Dayou's father revealed some helplessness in his words.

"Does brother Dayou come back very late every day?" Lao Mu continued to ask.

"He! I don't know what he is busy with outside? He comes late and doesn't say anything. He often drinks like a drunk cat. His younger brother doesn't drink, but he just doesn't like to talk. In this way, no one will see him because of drinking. Let's go to him, his brother, but because he doesn't talk much, he introduced a few times, but there is no result. You say what evil I have done in my life, my two sons can't get a wife, my wife left early, you Look at this yard is big, but it needs a woman to take care of it." Lao Mu's casual question actually elicited a lot of complaints from his father.

"Marriage in the world depends on eye contact. Brothers of Dayou match people up every day. Maybe one day, they will bring one to your family. Then you will be waiting to have a grandson!" Old Mu heard what Dayou's father said. With resentment, he couldn't help comforting the old man in front of him who was no older than himself.

"Hey! Dayou is 36 years old. Back then, because his sister was in a hurry to find a partner, he got married before his brothers could find a suitable partner. He never thought that he would really follow what the old people said. There are many brothers and sisters, so they must be in order. Come one by one, or if you miss it, troubles will come one after another!" Dayou's father seemed to be a little brooding about what happened in his family.

"This is an old saying, and now it is a new society, so naturally there is no such emphasis!" Although Lao Mu said this, considering his own children, he still interpreted this saying, so there is a door-to-door visit tonight visit.

"The responsibility system has been implemented for so many years. The land per capita in our village is less than one mu. After paying the public grain, there is not much food left. The income from Susukida can only solve food and clothing, let alone save any spare money. A few days ago, the boss introduced one to the second child. The woman asked for a gift of 3000 yuan, which directly stumped the three of us. Before the money was collected, the woman’s family sent a message saying that they disagreed! You said Are you angry?" When Dayou's father said this, he seemed a little excited, and his tone was obviously much higher.

"You want so many gifts? How can there be any sincerity in marriage?" Old Mu replied.

"This is what my elder brother said to my younger brother, so there is such a big problem. If it is an outsider, I really don't know how much it will be? I heard a lot of rumors a few days ago, and there was someone who asked for a gift of 1 yuan. You said that with the income of our peasant family, how can this daughter-in-law afford to marry?" Dayou's father became more and more angry.

"Marriage is a matter of mutual consent, so how could it be a money transaction?" Lao Mu then said angrily.

"The person who asked for money said that the daughter-in-law brought from other places is not safe. The girl he married is at ease, and the dowry is also about pomp. In theory, it's like a pig's nose with a green onion - it's very fake!" Dayou's father waved his hand and gestured in the air, making Xiuhua laugh.

Lao Mu also laughed, and wanted to continue talking, but suddenly heard the door knocking twice, so he stopped talking and listened carefully to the movement outside.

"Dayou must be back!" Dayou's father said.

Lao Mu stood up, took two steps forward, and walked out of the house.
