Everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Lin Yue `e's parents were honest villagers. They were kind and simple.
Looking at the two elders, Aunt Wang said bluntly,"You've seen her. If you don't have any objections, we'll settle this happy occasion today.”
"Good!"
Lin Yue `e's father nodded." That's a good lad. As long as the two of them have no objections, we'll agree."”
"Then I'll get straight to the point."”
"Regarding the betrothal gift, do you have any requests?”
Father Lin pondered for a moment and said,"We don't have any other requests. Yueying, you do it."”
He waved at the little girl in the corner.
The little girl walked over with her head lowered.
Father Lin smiled and said," Our family's conditions are really not good. We just want Yueying to follow my sister into the city. Firstly, it can reduce the burden on the family. Secondly, it can also give Yueying a good way out."”
Yang Tuanjie glanced at Lin Yueying. Although the little girl was dressed in shabby clothes, it could not hide her exquisite appearance. When she grew up, she would definitely be a great beauty like her sister.
He smiled." Uncle, Yue'e has already said that little sister will follow us into the city.”
"This is not included in the betrothal gift.”
"Old Lin," said Aunt Wang with a smile. If you have any requests, you should mention them. Xiao Yang is not short of money. In my opinion, the betrothal gift should be set according to the highest standards in our village.”
"That won't do. We're already very grateful that you allowed Yueying to follow you. How can you have the cheek to ask for a betrothal gift?”
Aunt Wang smiled." There's still a betrothal gift. Otherwise, people will laugh at us. We don't do much. Old Lin, you'd better give us a number."”
"Alright then! Let's discuss this."
"Yes!"
Father Lin and Mother Lin entered the inner room and came out not long after.
Papa Lin smiled." Five yuan is enough for the betrothal gift. In addition, a hook cloth, two catties of meat, and one catty of sugar."”
"This…"
Yang Tuanjie frowned. In his opinion, the other party's request was too low.
The betrothal gift was about 10 yuan, and there were also people who gave 8 yuan.
One hook of cloth was ten feet of cloth.
Adding in two catties of meat and one catty of sugar, it was less than ten yuan.
One had to know that with Lin Yue `e's conditions, if she married into the city, her family would at least require a sewing machine, even if she didn't have four pieces of clothing.
Looking at Aunt Wang, Yang Tuanjie shook his head.
Aunt Wang understood and smiled." Elder Lin, the betrothal gift is too little. Xiao Yang isn't short of money. It's better to ask for more."”
She was a matchmaker, yet Yang Tuanjie had given her 50 yuan. The betrothal gift was only 5 yuan. It was obviously not proportional.
"Um."
Mother Lin hesitated for a moment and said,"How about ten yuan as a betrothal gift?"?”
Yang Tuanjie shook his head and smiled bitterly. He pointed at them and asked for a betrothal gift. It was definitely not much.
Forget it, he should make the decision himself.
"Uncle, Auntie, if Yue'e marries me, I can guarantee that I will definitely give her all four pieces.”
Yang Tuanjie promised with a smile.
"This..."
Mr. and Mrs. Lin were shocked at the same time.
The so-called four major items-bicycle, watch, sewing machine-were three revolutions.
The other sound came from the radio.
The four major items were the slogan of the city, and the villagers did not dare to ask for them.
Even among the people in the city, there were very few people who could raise enough money for the four major items.
One had to know that the industrial level was backward in this era. The four major items were industrial products.
Each piece was priced at a minimum of 100 dollars. If they were all gathered together, it would be 600 dollars.
Their family had to go without food or water for ten years to earn this much money.
Money was secondary. Buying these things required tickets. It was difficult to get tickets.
This son-in-law of his had promised four great treasures the moment he opened his mouth. How could they not be shocked?
"The four gifts are not counted as betrothal gifts," Yang Tuanjie continued."I've brought all the betrothal gifts today.”
"The betrothal gift money will be 666.”
666!
Everyone was shocked.
Lin Yue `e hurriedly shook her head." No, no. We can't ask for so much betrothal gift."”
"That's right, Xiao Yang, don't be so greedy!”
"Xiao Yang, just give me some!"
Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin spoke at the same time.
To be honest, the betrothal gift of 666 shocked them.
In this era, it was definitely a sky-high betrothal gift.
What kind of family did Yang Tuan come from to be so generous?
"It's like this. The two elders are in the countryside, and Yue'e and I can't be by their side to serve them. Giving them more money can be considered our filial piety. In addition, our old house should also be repaired. With this money, we can repair the house first.”
Yang Tuanjie smiled.
666 was a sky-high price for ordinary people.
To him, it was just money for one check-in.
Yue'e was a young lady, and she was married to him. If she couldn't even bear to fork out the money for a check-in, then it wouldn't make sense.
"You don't need so much money to repair the house. Xiao Yang, you have a lot of expenses in the city.”Mother Lin said understandingly.
Not to mention repairing the house, this money would not be used up even if they built a new house.
"It's settled then!"
Yang Tuan reached out and took out a stack of money from the sack. There were sixty-six big unity notes and six one-yuan notes.
Then, he took out ten catties of White Rabbit Creamy Candy, twenty catties of pork, and two rolls of cloth.
"These are betrothal gifts!"
Good heavens.
Father Lin and Mother Lin were the same, their expressions filled with shock.
According to their requests, Yang Tuan would give them double what they wanted.
He asked for two catties of meat and gave 20 catties.
If you want one catty of sugar, give ten catty.
Give me two bolts of cloth for a hook.
It was worth mentioning that the candy that Yang Tuanjie gave was White Rabbit Creamy Candy. It cost more than one yuan per catty, which was more expensive than meat.
However, when he thought of the betrothal gift of 666, this did not seem to be much.
"This…"
"Too many,"
"Yang. This is not good."
The family did not know what to say.
Lin Yue `e's face was filled with gratitude. She hadn't expected this man to treat her so well.
After receiving these betrothal gifts, their family could live a carefree life in the future.
The feeling of being valued by others filled her with happiness.
"Oh right, this is a gift for my younger brother and sister!”
Immediately after, Yang Tuanjie took out two sets of new clothes from the sack.
Even his younger brother and sister were thinking about him. This man was really all-encompassing.
Lin Yue `e was even more touched.
The younger siblings happily accepted the new clothes.
