"this……"

Su Wu and Xu Meili were stunned to see all sorts of things that couldn't fit on the table and were scattered all over the floor. They wondered how much all of this was worth.

"Dad, Mom, although Lingwu and I have already registered our marriage, we still need to go through the proper formalities."

Fu Linchuan prepared ten catties of meat just for leaving his mother, enough to crush ten villages in the surrounding area.

A case of liquor, two cartons of cigarettes, and two boxes each of high-end pastries, candies, and tea in tin boxes.

"Dad said before that we would go with the military, and we would buy the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to the three turns and one sound) when we got there, so we didn't need to prepare anything. We could just exchange everything for money and coupons. Here is a thousand yuan and some coupons, which we will use to buy furniture and some wedding supplies."

They were all put in one envelope.

Then Fu Linchuan took out another envelope, "This five hundred is the betrothal money, and there are also fifty catties of grain coupons."

"Here are four sets of ready-made clothes, two pairs of leather shoes, ten pairs of socks, Pechoin skincare products, and a complete set of mirror and comb."

"Over there are tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, and pastries, as well as meat from afar."

"And this too." Fu Linchuan took out a small square box from his pocket and handed it to Su Lingwu.

Su Lingwu smiled and accepted it; it was a watch!

When I opened it, it turned out to be a plum blossom design.

Su Lingwu smiled even more brightly and held out her hand, "Help me put it on!"

Fu Linchuan saw Su Lingwu's bright smile and a smile also appeared on his lips.

He really liked Su Lingwu's personality; she was very direct.

If you like someone, you like them; of course, it's also obvious who you dislike.

Fu Linchuan took out a watch from the box and put it on Su Lingwu's wrist. The silver-white brushed dial was clean and elegant, and when placed lightly on her slender wrist, it made her skin appear even whiter and more radiant.

Click.

After buttoning up the buttons, Fu Linchuan held the soft, boneless little hand for several moments before letting go.

Xu Meili's eyes welled up with tears when she saw this scene.

That's great. The son-in-law values ​​his daughter. All these dowries combined will probably be more than two thousand.

She saw it; the watch on her daughter's wrist was a plum blossom design, and it cost 320 yuan.

This watch alone is enough to cover all the dowry for a girl from the countryside.

Her daughter deserves to live such a happy life.

Seeing the watch on Su Lingwu's wrist and the large amount of betrothal gifts, it would be a lie to say Su Lingtang wasn't upset.

Because when you compare the two, the difference is just too great.

All the dowry the Gu family gave her combined couldn't compare to a single watch Su Lingwu received. Why is there such a huge difference between them, even though they are both women?

Her dowry was only a little over two hundred, while Su Lingwu's was over two thousand.

Su Lingtang couldn't help but wonder, if... if it were Su Lingwu, how much would the Gu family give as a bride price?

Su Lingtang didn't even notice that her lower lip was bleeding from biting it.

Su Lingtang has fallen into a trance, always comparing himself to Su Lingwu in everything.

At that moment, all Du Lijuan could think about was money.

The envelopes on the table are so thick; they're all filled with money.

There should be a share for the family here. What family doesn't leave money for baby formula when their daughter gets married? Besides, didn't that guy surnamed Fu say that 500 yuan was the dowry, which is for the family?

"Nephew's wife, come to your uncle." Seeing his nephew's unambitious appearance, Shen Zhiyan knew that the boy was really concerned.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so considerate of the woman and prepare so many things.

Do your best to give the best.

Of course, in the past, the Shen and Fu families would not have done this when they married, but times are different now, and they can't be too obvious about it. This is already the best they can do.

Even in the capital, this would be considered a grand and impressive affair.

I just don't know about my little sister...

"uncle."

Su Lingwu walked over.

"Your uncle will give you a belated gift when we get back to Beijing. This is a red envelope for you. Use it to buy something you like." Shen Zhiyan took out a red envelope from his pocket, which contained ten 100-yuan bills.

"Thank you, Uncle." Su Lingwu accepted it with a smile without refusing.

"Your personality is quite something; you'll get along well with my girl. You'll see when you meet her."

Shen Zhiyan quite liked Su Lingwu's personality; she was generous and straightforward, and not coy at all.

"You, as the uncle, have already given a red envelope, so I, as the uncle, can't fall behind." Secretary Liu also took out a red envelope from his pocket.

This was something he had prepared long ago. Fu Linchuan's plan to eliminate Ma Changzheng benefited him the most. Now he was the county party secretary and director of the revolutionary committee, finally in control of power and no longer subject to anyone's control.

"this……"

Su Lingwu glanced at Fu Linchuan, after all, she wasn't quite sure how close they were. People like them shouldn't just accept gifts.

"Hey, girl, why are you looking at him? This is for you, take it!" Secretary Liu saw Su Lingwu turn her head to look at Fu Linchuan and thought to himself that this girl was quite shrewd.

Fu Linchuan nodded; he understood what Secretary Liu meant.

"Look at what you're saying, Secretary Liu. I was just thinking, should I give you a red envelope as a thank you for being the matchmaker today?" Su Lingwu's joke lightened the atmosphere.

"Haha, you already gave it to me. Didn't you say you'd give me some of your own tea when you left? That would be perfect; you can't buy it anywhere else."

While they were chatting animatedly in the main room, they were also busy working in the kitchen.

Two large tables of food were quickly prepared.

The Su family also showed their sincerity by serving a pot of chicken stew with mushrooms and potatoes, cabbage stew with vermicelli and pork belly, braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, fried meatballs, stir-fried cured pork with garlic sprouts, fried river shrimp, stir-fried peanuts, braised tofu, stir-fried eggs with chives, stir-fried green peppers with wood ear mushrooms, cold potato salad, and smashed cucumber—twelve dishes in total.

"Wow, so much delicious food! We didn't even have this much food during the Lunar New Year!" Zhao Guoyao exclaimed.

Su Zicheng nodded hurriedly from the side.

"Haha, these two little ones should eat more."

Shen Zhiyan knew that the Su family had pulled out all the stops; it wasn't easy to prepare so many dishes.

Indeed, Uncle Su killed all the hens that laid eggs, and even brought over the cured meat that he had been saving for the New Year but couldn't bear to eat.

Du Lijuan and her daughter looked very unwell; they hadn't received this kind of treatment when the Gu family came.

After the meal, Fu Linchuan left with his uncle Shen Zhiyan and Secretary Liu.

The date for the banquet has been set for one week from now, and then Fu Linchuan will take Su Lingwu to the capital.

"Guoyao, Zicheng, you two go and put all the things in my room."

Su Lingwu had already put the envelopes containing money and tickets into her pocket; she also needed to make arrangements for these other things.

"Wait!" Du Lijuan called out to stop them.
