All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 234 234. Emphasis and Satisfaction

The daughters of Lao Yue's family are all born like flowers and jade, and they are good-looking. What is rare is that all of them are gentle and gentle, and they are likable when they look at them. It can be seen that the family education and family style are very good.

Yue Xiangzhu is a classmate and good friend of the eldest daughter of the Ding family. He has been to the Ding family twice. Ding's father and mother Ding still have some impressions, but because it has been too long, the impression is not deep.

Regarding the character of the eldest daughter-in-law, the old couple specially wrote a letter to the eldest daughter who had already gone to the countryside to inquire.

The eldest daughter's letter was full of compliments, and she almost praised Yue Xiangzhu as a flower.

The eldest daughter is Yue Xiangzhu's classmate for many years, so she naturally knows everything about her. The old couple can still trust her evaluation.

They also asked someone to inquire about the details of Lao Yue's family in advance, and the results were also very satisfactory.

Yue Xiangzhu's parents are both honest and responsible workers. Although Yue Wenxuan is young, he is already a very famous singer.

For the daughter-in-law's parents and only younger brother, the old couple valued them very much, and they inquired in detail. As for the other sisters, they were not so important.

It is also an ordinary worker's family, and the family style is clean and upright, so it can be regarded as the right family with their Lao Ding's family.

The most important thing is that the only younger brother in the family is very promising and has a good job. He will not be a drag in the future, and he may be able to help his son when he is in trouble. This is also a very important point.

The old couple of the Ding family were already very satisfied with the news they had inquired in advance. After meeting today, the two sides talked very speculatively, and they were even more satisfied.

The relatives of both men and women praised and respected each other, and they all picked up what the other party liked to hear. Of course, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

In this friendly atmosphere, substantive issues were quickly discussed.

With the foreshadowing in front, Dad Ding took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Guangping, the two of us met today because of our two children. I didn't expect this exchange, and we were quite angry. It's really late to see each other." .

We have similar temperaments, so I won't beat around the bush if I have anything to say. "

Yue Guangping immediately said, "Brother Wanchun, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"The two children have known each other for a while. If you don't object to their being together, then let's talk about what we have decided today. Do you think it will be okay?"

"Of course I don't object. Although I haven't seen Jimin, as the old saying goes, like a father like a son, I'm sure I'm at ease with Jimin if we have such a temper tantrum."

"Xiangzhu's child can marry into our Lao Ding's family, because our Lao Ding's family is superior, and the child must not be treated badly in the bride price. Do you know what the Guangping brothers have?"

The betrothal gift is a big deal. Although the two sides discussed it very speculatively, when it comes to the betrothal gift, Dad Ding still dare not take it lightly, for fear that the old Yue's family will make some excessive demands.

"There is no requirement. The bride price is just a formality. Our family has no opinion on whether to give it or not, to give more or less."

Although the contact time is not long, Yue Guangping can also feel that Papa Ding is a reasonable and face-saving person, even if he does not make any demands on the bride price, he will definitely treat it seriously.

Now that he had such a judgment, Yue Guangping simply put on a high profile.

"Although Jimin in our family is the oldest one, because he was here to serve in the army, he got married the latest.

The second child in our family got married, and the bride price was [-], but that was six years ago.

The third child got married three years ago, and the bride price was a hundred.

The living conditions are getting better and better now, and after three years, the amount of bride price given can no longer be according to the old calendar.

I like the child Xiangzhu very much. If such a good girl enters the door, the dowry must not be missed. I discussed it with my wife and the number we settled on is one hundred and two. "

Speaking of this, without waiting for Yue Guangping to speak, he immediately added:
"Considering that our eldest is going to hold a wedding in the military camp, the family can't help at all, so our old couple is going to give him 500 yuan to subsidize him.

His two younger brothers got married early, and the elder brother also wanted to contribute a little bit when he got married. The two discussed it and planned to pay one hundred each. The money was not much, but it was a little bit of their brotherhood. "

Even without the following points to add, Yue Guangping would not have any objection if someone was willing to pay one hundred and two dowry gifts.

For ordinary working families like theirs, the bride price is generally less than 100 yuan, and rarely exceeds [-] yuan.

Lao Ding's family is willing to offer a bride price of 120 yuan, which has exceeded the current standard of bride price. He is already very satisfied, and of course he will not make more excessive demands.

Yue Guangping immediately expressed his attitude: "It's too much, too much, you don't need to give so much, just follow your family's standard three years ago, and 100 yuan is not a lot.

The betrothal gift is just a form, no matter how much you Lao Ding's family gives, you have to take it back, as long as it is not less than others, and Xiangzhu doesn't lose face, that's fine. "

In terms of the amount of the bride price, Lao Ding's family is indeed quite generous.On the one hand, Ding Wanchun is a great man, and on the other hand, the Ding family's economic conditions are relatively good.

Both Ding's parents and Ding's mother are workers, and their wages are relatively high. His second and third sons also joined the work early, and the two married daughters-in-law also have formal jobs.

Not to mention the eldest son, the monthly salary of more than 100 is definitely considered a high income.

Although except for the eldest son, there are some ordinary workers in the family, but there are many earners, and the usual expenses are relatively delicate, and they have really saved a lot of money over the years.

Lao Ding's family is not only generous in the bride price, but also generous in the marriage subsidy for the eldest son.Five hundred for the old couple, plus two hundred for the two brothers, a total of 700 yuan in subsidies, the average worker's family will definitely not be able to spend so much money on weddings.

Ding Jimin held a wedding in the military camp, and the cost was even lower. Even if the cost of buying daily necessities was included, after getting married, he could have at least 500 yuan in savings.

Yue Guangping was very relieved to have a reasonable and generous in-laws, and his words became more and more affectionate.

So far, even if the marriage between the two parties has been settled in this way, the wedding date has not yet been determined.

At this point, although the parents of both parties are looking forward to an earlier date, they cannot make the decision. The specific wedding date can only be decided by the young couple themselves.

The big meal at noon had already been prepared, and before twelve o'clock, the meals were served on the table one after another.

After seeing the dishes served on the table, even Yue Wenxuan thought it was too rich.

The dishes prepared today are basically famous local dishes in Shanghai. The main dish is the eight-treasure duck brought home by Yue Wenxuan. The other dishes are also not bad, including: Caotou circle, local braised pork, Sixi Roasted bran, Songjiang sea bass, buckwheat shreds, marinated Duxian, five-spice vegetarian meat, fried edamame with wild rice stem and shredded pork.

In addition to the crystal shrimps made of prawns brought back by Yue Wenxuan, there were a total of ten dishes on the dinner table.

Except for a few of these ten dishes, such as Caotou circle and braised pork, they look simple, but they are not easy to cook.

An ordinary worker's family like Lao Yue's family can't eat meat a few times a year, and it's a simple way to cook it once in a while.

That is to say, in the past six months or so, the family's economic conditions have improved greatly, and they can often eat some meat, which gave the eldest sister more opportunities to practice her cooking skills.

Each of the ten dishes on the dinner table is delicious in color, fragrance and taste. Without more than ten years of cooking skills, it is impossible to cook such a table of meals.

In the recent period, although the eldest sister's cooking skills have improved a lot, she is still far from the level of making these ten dishes.

Yue Wenxuan looked at the elder sister, and asked suspiciously: "Elder sister, did you find someone to learn cooking skills during this period of time, why did your level improve so much all of a sudden?"

In front of the guests, Yue Xiangmei did not put gold on her face, and said honestly: "During this time, I have been learning cooking skills from Aunt Xie's family. The level of table dishes is far from good.

Aunt Xie's family is in charge of all the dishes on this table today, so I just help her and secretly learn how to cook. "

Yue Wenxuan really didn't know that Aunt Xie's cooking skills were so good, so he asked in surprise:

"I have been neighbors with Aunt Xie's family for so many years. I didn't know that her cooking skills are so good. She looks very professional. Could it be that she has learned it?"

Wang Liying said: "Auntie Xie was a cook for a big capitalist when she was young, of course her cooking skills are not bad.

That is to say, life has been relatively difficult in recent years. Their family has a large population, and they can't eat meat a few times throughout the year. Without good ingredients, of course her good cooking skills can't be shown.

Besides, your Auntie Xie is a person who cares about face, and she is not willing to tell others about the things in the past. Of course, you young people don't know about it. "

After listening to Wang Liying's explanation, Mama Ding said politely: "The food on this table today is really rich, and it is served by a chef. It seems that today is really a good day.

It's just a bit too expensive. From now on, the two of us will be a family, just eat some home-cooked meals, and don't need to bother entertaining so much. "

"It's the first time for my in-laws to come to the door, of course they have to be entertained grandly. After we become a family, I will listen to you. It must be a common meal. I will also let you have a taste of my craftsmanship. If it is not good, don't you dislike."

Although Mama Ding spoke politely, she was very ironic in her heart.

Today's table of dishes obviously took a lot of effort. I don't know how long it will take to prepare these rare ingredients.

The in-laws are willing to put so much thought into entertaining Lao Ding's family, that's because they value them.

Everyone is willing to be valued, especially the first time you visit your in-law's house. Although you say it politely, you still value this in your heart.

Such a sumptuous meal, of course, must be accompanied by good wine. Yue Wenxuan specially took out two bottles of Xifeng wine and two bottles of red wine brought back from Hong Kong Island.

Although Xifeng wine is one of the four famous wines, it is quite common. The Ding family did not find it unusual, but everyone was very curious when they saw the two bottles of red wine written in foreign languages.

Papa Ding asked directly: "These two bottles of red wine are not imported from abroad, are they? I don't know any of the foreign language on them."

Yue Guangping said casually: "This is the wine that Wenxuan brought back from his performance in Hong Kong Island last time. He has a lot of friends there. Before leaving, many friends gave gifts. There are many red wines like this.

This kind of foreign wine just looks strange, and it tastes not much different from our domestic wine.

That is to say, it is not very common in China, so let's treat it as a rare drink, and everyone will try it later. "

"Then I have to taste it. I haven't tasted this kind of foreign wine yet. Since it is a gift from Hong Kong Island friends to Wenxuan, it must be good.

The things you give to your friends must be good things, otherwise you won't be able to get them out, right? "

Papa Ding is indeed very curious about the taste of these two bottles of foreign wine. He has lived for most of his life and has never drunk foreign wine. He has the opportunity to experience it today, and he is still looking forward to it.

"Then let's all drink foreign wine today, if you think it tastes good, we'll open two more bottles later.

Wenxuan brought back a lot of this kind of foreign wine, a total of more than ten bottles, which must be enough for us to drink. "Yue Guangping said very grandly.

For the taste of these two bottles of foreign wine, not only Ding's father was looking forward to it, but also the two daughters-in-law who had never had a chance to talk were also looking forward to it.

The two of them followed today. Originally, they just made up a group of people. I didn't expect that Lao Yue's family would host them so well. It really opened the eyes of the two of them.

The table of food that had just been set had already surprised the two of them.

Although both of them are locals, they have only heard of the famous local dishes, and most of them have never tasted them.

For example, today's main dish - Yanyun Tower's Eight Treasure Duck, neither of them has tasted it.

The price of the eight-treasure duck is not low. Even if it is the eight-treasure duck in an ordinary restaurant, the two of them have never eaten the eight-treasure duck.

The two of them were already pleasantly surprised to be able to taste such a sumptuous meal today. They didn't expect to be able to taste the taste of foreign wine, and they were even more looking forward to it.

Auntie Xie's cooking skills are really good. After toasting and eating, everyone at the table was full of praise.

On the contrary, the evaluation of foreign wines is far from as good as expected.

Ding's father is a wine lover, and his evaluation is very high. Dante's mother and two daughters-in-law don't usually drink alcohol. After tasting the taste of foreign wine, they feel quite disappointed. I didn't think it was that good.

Dante's father spoke very highly of these two bottles of foreign wine, and he spoke clearly and logically. It seems that it's not because the wine is bad, but because they don't like to drink, let alone know how to drink.

It's a waste of such a good red wine for people like them who don't like to drink. They all feel that it is too wasteful.

The first in-laws meeting was very successful and both parties were very satisfied.

The two families both chose to write letters to tell their children far away about the meeting, and both urged them to determine the wedding time as soon as possible in the letter.
