The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 1380 0087, Wangfu Street
With the changes of the times, people's views on marriage customs are becoming more and more different.In the past, people married a daughter-in-law to see whether the girl was virtuous or not, and married a daughter to see whether the boy was responsible.

Now, marrying a daughter-in-law depends on whether the girl is beautiful or not, and marrying a daughter depends on whether the boy is rich or not.

Now a daughter-in-law lacks one of the three sons, that is, a house, a car, and a ticket.

Needless to say about the house, no one wants a house in the countryside at the moment, and the city is just one mouth away.If this is okay in the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-tier cities, you can stand it in the second- and third-tier cities.If you are in a first-tier city, well, then you can wait to be stripped of three layers of skin.This is not your own skin, even your parents' skin.

The reason is very simple. As far as the current housing prices are concerned, the median housing prices in the provincial capital cities are basically between [-] and [-], and a slight increase in hardware requirements will cost more than [-].

According to the standard for a family to live in, the house should not be less than 300 square meters.A house in a provincial capital city costs between [-] and [-] million, and this is just the money for the house, not counting the decoration and furniture.

The first-tier cities are even better. Now the average price of a house in a middle-level area is between 800 and [-].That is to say, the average price of a house is between five and eight million.

If you want to buy a house in these places, in addition to having to bear a 20-year mortgage, you must first obtain the qualifications to buy a house, and you have to go bankrupt to pay the down payment.

The boy is facing such a problem now. His family is in Hebei Province, which is only more than 100 kilometers away from the imperial capital.The girl's home is in the imperial capital, and the girl's mother said that if they want to get married, they must let him buy a house in the imperial capital.And her requirement for the house area is not high, 120 square meters will do.

Don't talk about selling iron, even if the boy's family is sold, he can't afford to buy a house in the imperial capital.I can't even pay the down payment on the mortgage, let alone buy a car and prepare a bride price.

In front of Li Xiuyuan, the girl called her mother.The girl just wanted to ask about the house, so she quarreled with her mother within a few words.In the end, she hung up the phone first, and Li Xiuyuan criticized the girl afterwards.

Before becoming parents, children cannot understand the worries of their parents.The current world is different from the past. People in the past never thought about divorce after getting married.As for the people nowadays, they might get married today and leave tomorrow, and marry another person the day after tomorrow.

It's not that the mother-in-law is too mean to her son-in-law now, but because this society has made many things very unreliable.Of course they want to marry their daughters instead of selling them. How many parents don't love their daughters.

The reason Li Xiuyuan criticized the girl was because she shouldn't have spoken to her mother in that tone.No matter how high the mother's requirements are for her son-in-law, it's all for the good of her daughter.Parents cannot follow their children for a lifetime, they will eventually leave this world, and children will eventually learn to bear it alone.

While educating the girl, Li Xiuyuan still did not forget his travel strategy.

The girl suddenly became enlightened after hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, and asked the boy to accompany Li Xiuyuan to Shichahai and the Forbidden City first, and she went back to apologize to her mother first.

While visiting Shichahai, the boy kept asking Li Xiuyuan if he and the girl could be together.In fact, he was a little shaken, as if he was going to give up the girl and go back to his hometown if he was sure he couldn't meet the girl's mother's requirements.

Li Xiuyuan asked the boy: "Do you like girls?"

The boy said he liked it.

Li Xiuyuan asked again: "Then how much do you like it?"

The boy said he liked it very much.

Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this, and asked a question that the boy couldn't answer.

"What if the girl's mother doesn't allow you to be with the girl?"

After a long silence, the boy shook his head slightly.Maybe they don't know how to answer, or they are planning to give up.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Then do you know why there are so many mothers-in-law making things difficult for their sons-in-law?"

If time goes back 20 years, few people will see this kind of social phenomenon of insisting on betrothal gifts, or there is no such social scene at all.

Because people at that time were very reliable, and everyone could do what they said.Marrying a daughter-in-law will treat others well, and having children will take care of the family.

No one has cared about this issue, and trust has unknowingly become something that can be encountered but cannot be sought.Many people have become unreliable, and many people have been unhappy for the rest of their lives because of blind marriage.

Because of the frequent occurrence of such things, those parents began to raise their selection criteria for their son-in-law.Since promises cannot be trusted, they only need to use material to measure a person's credibility.

In fact, knowing that the other party does not have that financial strength, but still asking the other party to pay so much money.It has already shown that the party who marries the daughter does not trust the other party, and the man who does not trust the daughter to marry can treat the girl well for the rest of his life.So they settled for the next best thing, at least they could let their daughters not worry about having no money after they got married.

The correct way to encounter problems is to solve them, and avoiding them is the last thing to do.Li Xiuyuan repeatedly reminded the boy that if he doesn't like girls that much, or doesn't think girls can live with him for the rest of his life.Then he shouldn't worry about the house anymore, he might as well tell the girl straight up, just get together and leave.

The boy was indeed a little shaken before, but after listening to Li Xiuyuan's words, he strengthened his determination to be with the girl.This is of course a good thing, but Li Xiuyuan still wants to remind the boy.When he is with a girl, he must treat her well.Otherwise, once his mother-in-law feels that her daughter is not doing well, the crisis of trust will reappear.

When the boy was visiting the Forbidden City with Li Xiuyuan, he received a call from the girl.The girl on the phone seemed very excited. It seemed that her mother decided to let the boy go home.

Hearing this, the boy was even more excited than the girl, and the phone was so excited that it almost dropped to the ground.

The girl is in the west district of the city, since it has been agreed to go to the girl's house, the boy's first priority is to prepare gifts.Of course, you can't go empty-handed when you visit the door for the first time, and the gifts you bring this time are very particular.

Giving gifts can be a tricky job, especially for a boy who is visiting the house for the first time.The mother-in-law will definitely be very picky. If the gift is not well chosen, the mother-in-law will scold her first when she enters the door.

Following the girl's prompt, Li Xiuyuan and the boy went to Xidan in the west of the city, where they went to choose two gifts.One is a custom-made cheongsam according to the size of the girl's mother. Of course, the color is also the girl's mother's favorite.One is a new tea that just hit the market, and the two-jin gift box is affordable and generous.
