Chapter 52 Modern version of Shilihongzhuang
The days passed like this.
Lin Jiayi has received a telegram from Lao Lin. Lao Lin and Dean Qin will come over at the beginning of next month. Lin Jiayi also asked Dean Qin to bring some medicine for the symptoms and check on the condition of Gou Wa's father.
The Fang family has been very busy these days. Aunt Fang used all the cloth and cotton coupons in the family to make a few new quilts for Lin Jiayi to get married.
Most of the rural areas are not well off, and few families will make brand new quilts for marriage. It can be seen how much the Fang family values Lin Jiayi.
And after discussing with Aunt Fang, Father Fang unanimously decided to give a betrothal gift of 500 yuan.
The whole team heard about this and was shocked. No one had never heard of this before. When marrying a daughter-in-law, they would build a new house, make a new quilt, and give such a colorful gift money. Even in the county, it was unheard of!
These days, Lin Jiayi often saw strangers passing by her and pointing at her.
Tang Tang and Yao Yuan told her that they came to see the new daughter-in-law and wanted to know what this fairy looked like. It was so worth it.
It was helpless. In fact, Lin Jiayi was not very beautiful or stunning. She was just pretty, and the beauty products brought by the space plug-in made her look a lot better.
However, compared to the dark-skinned girls in the countryside, she was considered a fairy. Those who wanted to say something sour could no longer say anything, after all, they were not as pretty as her.
However, some bad rumors still spread, such as:
"She can't work and has to rely on men to support her. It won't be long before the Fang family regrets it."
"What's the use of having a pretty face? It's only true that she can be kept. She is a city dweller and will run away sooner or later."
...
These rumors didn't end until Lao Lin and the others arrived, because a new topic was born.
Lin Dong came with Dean Qin. Neither of them wanted to miss such a big event as their daughter's marriage.
Fang Tianze went to the county to pick up people early in the morning. Lin Dong drove the car assigned by the unit. After picking up the people, the three did not go home directly, but went to the transport team to borrow two cars from the manager.
Lin Dong and Dean Qin pooled money together and planned to prepare a ten-li red dowry for Lin Jiayi as a dowry, in fact, it was also to support Lin Jiayi.
Their daughter married so far away because they were afraid that the Fang family or the villagers would think that Lin Jiayi was helpless and easy to bully.
And Fang Tianze was a good material, and he would definitely have great development in the future, so they had to lay this foundation from the beginning to let him know that Lin Jiayi had a backer.
How could Fang Tianze not know what the two old people were thinking? But he didn't care. In his opinion, as long as it was good for Lin Jiayi, he was willing to cooperate.
Lin Dong and Dean Qin went to the Friendship Store first and bought a brand new bicycle. Fang Tianze was responsible for getting the license plate, and the two of them continued to buy.
They also bought a radio, a pair of couple watches, and a sewing machine. They didn't care whether Lin Jiayi would use them or not. Anyway, they had to have all the three turns and one ring.
They bought all the clothes, shoes, scarves, and headwear that they liked in the store, as well as the bedding, washbasin, warm water kettle, towel, toothbrush, tooth mug, enamel mug, soap, etc. that they needed for the wedding, and bought double sets.
When Fang Tianze came back, the car was almost full.
The three of them went to find Lin Dong's old comrade-in-arms, who had asked him to find someone on the black market to prepare furniture for the wedding, all made of the finest golden nanmu and agarwood.
Although people nowadays don't recognize these things, Lin Dong thinks that since he has money, he should prepare the best for his daughter. He knows that the Fang family has also done it, so it doesn't matter. The Fang family's furniture can be left for the Fang family elders or their youngest son!
After everything was prepared, the three of them got in the car and drove to the village. Two large trucks followed behind, carrying the dowry. The scene was spectacular. There was no car in the village all year round, which attracted many people to follow along.
It was not until Fang Tianze got out of the car at the gate of Fang's house that everyone knew what the car was about.
The two elders of the Fang family had known that the in-laws were coming today, and they were waiting at home. When the car arrived, they came out to greet them. They were also shocked to see the three cars and asked Fang Tianze what was going on.
"Dad, Mom, these two are Jiayi's family members. This is Director Lin of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, Jiayi's father, and this is Director Qin of the Beijing Hospital, Jiayi's godfather."
"Oh, they are all big shots," Aunt Fang wiped her hands on her clothes before reaching out to shake hands with them.
Although she is usually carefree in the village, she is also very scared when she sees an official.
Lin Dong and Dean Qin were very friendly and did not look down on them. In their opinion, as long as the person was reliable, it would be fine.
In this way, they would not bully Jiayi, and they would feel more at ease.
"Son, what are these cars and the things in the car..." asked Father Fang.
"Dad, the sedan was driven by Jiayi's father from Beijing, and the car behind was rented. The things in the car are all the dowry prepared for Jiayi."
When Fang Tianze said this, the crowd and the two elders of the Fang family took a breath of cold air.
What is the concept of these two cars of dowry? They have saved their entire lives, but they can't afford to buy this car of things. Who would prepare so many things for their daughter!
Some people had laughed at the Fang family before, thinking that they were too generous and spent so much money on marrying a daughter-in-law, which was too wasteful and would regret it sooner or later. Unexpectedly, they brought back more.
This made many people envious. Many young people of similar age regretted that they did not seize the opportunity and believed what the old lady said, thinking that Lin Jiayi could not work to support the family.
With her conditions, she could not work for the rest of her life!
Those aunts and uncles who were afraid and could not control their daughter-in-law also pursed their lips and regretted it.
Lin Jiayi came with the four people. When they heard that the family members were coming, they ran over to see.
Lin Jiayi was also surprised by the two carts of dowry. She didn't expect Old Lin to be so generous. He must have spent all his money on it!
"Dad, godfather, you are here!"
Lin Jiayi shouted, and the two men, who had originally had serious expressions, changed their faces instantly.
His smile was so amiable that the people who had just felt it couldn't help but sigh at how much Lin Jiayi was spoiled at home!
"Jiayi is here. Are you tired? Dad, look at you and see if you have lost weight. The work in the village is just too hard. Didn't I tell you not to do it? You are too honest."
