Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 117: Three Turns and One Ring, High Price of Bride
Xu Qinghuan took the marriage certificate issued by the brigade and watched as they brought in the three-turn and one-ring and put them away. A strange and sweet happiness she had never experienced before surged into her heart, and her eyes became moist.

What a simple happiness!
"Hey, why is Jiang Xiaowu here today? Is this the day he shows up?"

"Why can't I come? It's a new society now, and this is still popular. Can't I come to see my fiancée?"

Outside, the members who came to watch the fun teased Jiang Xingye. He usually had a bad temper, but today he laughed so hard that his mouth was split to the back of his head.

Inside the room, Zhou Guizhi held Xu Qinghuan's hand, looking more and more satisfied. "Let me arrange your marriage first. You decide on a good date. When you're old enough, we can choose another date for the wedding. What do you think?"

Xu Qinghuan nodded, her face flushed with shyness.

"Then the engagement will be set for three days from now. Originally, his uncle and I wanted to set it after the autumn harvest, which would be three months from now, but Xiaowu refused. I've watched him grow up, and he's always been incredibly patient. This is the first time I've seen him so anxious."

Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Auntie, you guys can decide on this matter."

"That's good, that's good!"

Zhou Guizhi could see that this girl was different from the previous female educated youth. She didn't want to work, but she was hanging around the young men in the village, trying to take advantage of them, but she didn't want to really marry into the countryside.

Xu Qinghuan really wanted to live with Jiang Xingye. Even though he was not a hard worker, he only earned four work points a day, and Jiang Xingye helped with most of the work. If it was possible, they could deal with it later. If it really didn't work out, they had a big family and could help out more.

The young couple will slowly build up their life first.

"This is the betrothal money, take it!" Zhou Guizhi handed a stack of money to Xu Qinghuan in front of everyone. The larger the betrothal money, the more the in-laws value the girl.

five hundred!

The members who came over to watch the fun were stunned. Not only were there three turns and one ring, but there was also 500 yuan in betrothal money. Those families with daughters would be lying if they said they were not jealous.

If I had known that the bride price was so high, I wouldn't have cared whether he was a second-rate person or not. I would have just married him and been willing to do it even if he was willing to do so.

Xu Qinghuan took it and looked at Jiang Xingye. His eyes were dark and bright, and the corners of his lips were upturned, unable to be suppressed.

The marriage proposal was over, and Zhou Guizhi left shouting, but Jiang Xingye refused to leave. The other members of the cooperative all laughed and started to make a fuss.

Zhou Guizhi smiled and scolded the few people who were making trouble. Before leaving, she closed the door for the two of them. However, she warned them, "Say a few words and come out!"

Jiang Xingye handed the pair of emerald green bracelets to Xu Qinghuan, "Grandma gave them to you, keep them."

Xu Qinghuan looked at the bracelet, which was emerald green without a single flaw. It was the finest imperial green, the kind that could be auctioned off in the future. "Thank my grandparents for me. I love it so much."

You can’t wear it now, but you’ll be able to see the light of day in a few years.

Jiang Xingye said, "Keep it for now, for the future...Hide it well."

"I know, you should get out!" Xu Qinghuan opened the door and pushed him out. She was shy for a rare time because the people outside had not left yet, and she was guessing loudly what the two of them were doing in the room.

Jiang Xingye was both embarrassed and annoyed. After coming out, he glared at these people fiercely, but everyone just laughed it off. No one was afraid of him today.

The Jiang family set the engagement date for three days later, August 4th. After the engagement banquet, the Shangjiang Brigade will start the harvest.

Jiang Xingye was sent to the city by his uncle to pick someone up.

Back in Yan City, Song Wanlin asked her aunt to help buy two cans of malted milk, three pounds of sugar, two sets of imitation military uniforms, and four sets of bras. She also asked Lu Ranglian to book a sleeper ticket to Acheng City, preparing to visit her daughter whom she had not seen for fourteen years.

Now that she had a sewing machine at home, Yu Xiaomin excitedly started mending two jackets, both of which were patched up, preparing to wear them during the autumn harvest.

She had previously learned to sew from an experienced seamstress, and was quite adept at sewing. She was also quite enthusiastic. Xu Qinghuan simply drew two outfits. One was a variation of the A-line skirt of later times, with half-length sleeves, a one-shoulder neckline, a nipped waist, and a short skirt that went below the knee. Black Dacron would look great.

There is also a long-sleeved shirt with a vertical collar and slightly loose fit, and a pair of black straight-leg trousers with some slits at the bottom of the trouser legs. When drawn on the drawing, the gentle and elegant aura of an intellectual woman comes to the face.

"Ahhh, I want this kind of clothes. No, Xiaomin, make it for me first. I have the cloth. Hurry up, I want to wear it tomorrow." Qiao Xinyu liked it very much when he saw it.

Yu Xiaomin is a clothes maker. Her favorite thing is to try new styles. She feels very satisfied when she sees the clothes she makes worn on people.

Jiang Xingmei is Jiang Xingye's cousin. She came with him to deliver the betrothal gifts and never went back. When she saw Xu Qinghuan sketch out such a beautiful dress with just a few strokes, she suddenly wondered, what's wrong with this girl's brain?

With such a useful brain, how could she be so blind as to fall for her cousin?

Xu Qinghuan looked at Jiang Xingmei for a few seconds, and then used Jiang Xingmei as a model to design a piece of clothing for her. It was also a shirt with a vertical collar, but the collar was white with small ruffles, and it was slightly folded on both shoulders, making it look playful and cute.

Below is a slim long skirt, the overall effect is lively and generous.

Although Xu Qinghuan didn't spend much time on the model, his eyes were so enchanting that one could tell it was Jiang Xingmei at first glance, without any doubt.

Jiang Xingmei was simply overwhelmed with admiration for this future sister-in-law who was even younger than her. She exclaimed, "This is me! Is this really me?"

These clothes are so beautiful, but the key is that she has no fabric, which is so uncomfortable.

"I'll give you this dress. I have the fabric." Xu Qinghuan thought about reciprocity. The betrothal gift from the Jiang family was quite heavy, which was beyond her expectations. She also wanted to give the Jiang family a return gift. Whether it was worth money or not was another matter, but the intention had to be expressed.

"How can this be good? No, no!" Although Jiang Xingmei liked it, she also knew the value of it. Fabrics and clothes were still expensive these days and it was too hard to get them.

"Originally, I should have asked my fifth brother to take you to the city to buy clothes, but the clothes in the city are not as beautiful as the ones you draw. So, let's just buy some fabric and make them."

Xu Qinghuan likes Jiang Xingmei's straightforward nature. In the book, her marriage is very unhappy.

The four girls made clothes at home. Xu Qinghuan bought a lot of fabric in Shen City. She originally planned to make bed sheets and quilt covers, but later she bought them directly. In addition to making winter clothes, she still had enough fabric for one or two sets of clothes.

Khaki is used to make slim skirts, and white plain fabric is used to make shirts, which is just right.

Qiao Xinyu brought a lot of fabric, and Yu Xiaomin helped her make two more sets of clothes.

Yu Xiaomin's craftsmanship is really good. She measured the sizes of the two people and cut the clothes very neatly. A piece of clothing was made in no time. She made a skirt for Qiao Xinyu first. When she put it on, the girls screamed in surprise.

"He's become a completely different person!" Yu Xiaomin was shocked.

"Clothes make the man, and Buddha relies on gold ornaments. This skirt is so beautiful." Jiang Xingmei's eyes were also full of amazement.

Unfortunately, there was no full-length mirror, so Qiao Xinyu couldn’t see her entire body. She just felt good about herself and felt itchy inside.

"Huanhuan, I think if we make these clothes and sell them, we will definitely make money." Qiao Xinyu was very excited. She called her father last time and told him that she wanted to set up a factory here.

She said that farm work was too tiring, and if the factory could be established, she could return to Shen City in the name of business. Her father agreed without hesitation and asked her to write a letter with a list of what kind of cloth she needed, and he would find a way.

However, the prerequisite is that the factory must be run under the name of a production team, otherwise it would become speculation.

"I've also ordered a sewing machine, so we'll have two now. Let's see if anyone else in the production team has one. We can pool our sewing machines and rent them out to the production team. We can then set up a garment factory under the production team's name. What do you think?"

Jiang Xingmei fantasized about the scene where the production team opened a garment factory. That way, she wouldn't have to be pitied by her cousin next door all the time.
