50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 150 Shock
"As long as the betrothal gift is not lower than that of an average family, it will be fine. I won't take it from you. When the time comes, let the couple take it home to live with them."

Sun Zhiwei didn't care about the money, he would definitely let them take the betrothal gift back.

"Weiguo has a house, and when the time comes, we will replace it with a full set of new furniture. We will be ready for everything, and we will definitely not let Ailai down."

Sun Zhiwei was very satisfied with this, but the other party offered too much, and Sun Ailai would be inferior in the future, so he also had to show his sincerity.

"I've been preparing Sun Ailai's dowry for a long time, but since she's marrying far away, it's inconvenient to bring anything with her. I've simply converted it into money for them to buy their own things back home."

"There are two parts here. One part is my parents' pension and subsidy, a total of 1218.84 yuan; the other part is the 1000 yuan dowry that I, as your brother, prepared for your sister."

When Sun Zhiwei reported more than 2000 yuan in cash, the Lin family was shocked. In this era when the average salary was only a few dozen yuan, a dowry of 2000 yuan was simply unimaginable.

Sun Ailai was also stunned and quickly said, "Brother, why would I need so much dowry? Did you take apart your sister-in-law's dowry and give it to me?"

Sun Zhiwei said angrily, "You're talking nonsense. These have been prepared long ago. Your sister-in-law also deposits the pension and subsidy into a separate passbook for you every month."

"If you're doing well, you can save these things and deposit them in the bank to earn interest. You can use them when you need them in the future."

"Remember, you can choose not to use it, that's thrifty, but you can't be without it when you need it."

"In addition, there are some physical items that were prepared a long time ago and are hard to buy now. They are mainly fabrics: two pieces of blue printed cloth, two pieces of silk, two pieces of indanthrene, and two pieces of corduroy."

"These fabrics are hard to buy now, and it's not worth selling them for money, so I will bring them to you before National Day."

"Originally, there were some small toys here, but they're no longer fashionable. I'll put them in a box. If you want to come, just take them away."

At this point, he also said with emotion: "When I bought it, Ailai was still young, and now I finally waited until she got married."

The men may not know the current value of these fabrics. Lin's mother and godmother were very surprised when they heard it.

I don’t know how many good things Sun Zhiwei, as a brother, has prepared for his sister.

A batch of cloth is 40 feet long, and the price ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. Eight pieces of cloth are worth at least more than yuan.

The key is that it is difficult to buy now. Even if you have money but no tickets, you can't buy it. For example, Indanthrene cloth has been discontinued in China, so it is even more difficult to buy.

After the two families agreed on the marriage, it was considered a major event, and Sun Ailai and Lin Weiguo were both filled with joy.

The next day, Lin Weiguo took Sun Ailai shopping, and Lin's father took Lin's mother to see the attractions in Beijing. On the third day, Lin's father and mother went back to Harbin.

Lin Weiguo and Sun Ailai decided to spend the New Year in Beijing before leaving. Sun Zhiwei was naturally very welcome, as he still had a goal to achieve.

One day, Sun Ailai went out to meet his classmates and was embarrassed to bring Lin Weiguo with him, so Sun Zhiwei took the initiative to keep Lin Weiguo.

After lunch that day, Sun Zhiwei took Lin Weiguo to a remote area of ​​the park and stayed there for more than an hour before returning.

In the evening, when the family was having dinner, Lin Weiguo was fidgeting as if he had grass growing all over his body.

After the meal, under the pressure of Sun Aila, Lin Weiguo confessed the truth. He said that he had gone out to practice with his brother-in-law during the day and was completely defeated.

Sun Ailai ignored his objection and lifted up Lin Weiguo's clothes. She saw that his body was covered with bruises. It was obvious that he had been beaten badly. She felt both distressed and amused.

Then, Sun Ailai wanted to go find her brother and talk to him about how he could be so harsh.

Lin Weiguo quickly stopped him and told the truth: "Ai Lai, big brother really held back." He was not lying. Sun Zhiwei just wanted him to see how powerful he was. He didn't use much strength during the sparring.

In order to demonstrate the best effect, he casually broke a bamboo as thick as a thigh and split a stone bench in the park into two halves with one palm.

If this hit Lin Weiguo, everyone would be in trouble, so Lin Weiguo said he was holding back.

"Then why did he hit you?"

"Big brother said that if I dare to bully you in the future, he will beat me like a bamboo stick."

"Pfft."

Sun Ailai was no longer angry, and she felt sorry for Lin Weiguo. She quickly went to find Tong Jiajia to get the medicine box and applied medicine to him.

After the Chinese New Year, Lin Weiguo and Sun Ailai both returned to Northeast China. Sun Zhiwei packed a small box for her to take away, filled with jade, jadeite, jewelry and other small items.

It was not until the end of September that Sun Zhiwei rushed to the Northeast again to attend Sun Ailai's wedding. At this time, people paid attention to keeping it simple. The father and son of the Lin family were both of high status, so they had to be more cautious.

Not only did Sun Zhiwei not argue, but he was very appreciative. He thought that only a cautious character could lead to a long life, and he felt more at ease with them father and son.

On the wedding night, after the guests left, Sun Zhiwei took out the eight pieces of cloth and asked Lin Weiguo to find a place to put them.

After Lin Weiguo left, he secretly took out a smaller wooden box, which was the real treasure he wanted to give to Sun Ailai.

The small box was locked with a small lock. He put the box on the table, took out the key and opened it. Inside was wrapped in velvet.

Sun Ailai curiously lifted the velvet cloth and found 10 neatly arranged large yellow croakers, a small Browning pistol and a box of bullets inside.

She asked in surprise: "Brother, where did you get this?"

"I got this when I killed a spy a few years ago. I thought I'd save it for you. I've saved it for so many years, and now I can finally use it."

"Brother, I can't accept this. You've already given me so much money. Leave this to your sister-in-law."

"Don't worry, your sister-in-law has me. Hurry up and hide it. It's best to find a place to bury it when you have time. Don't take it out until the last minute."

In the end, Sun Ailai accepted the heavy little box and prayed that she would never need it.

The day after the wedding, Sun Zhiwei returned to Beijing and started his stable working life again.

On October 10, Sun Zhiwei's whole family was in the kindergarten. At 16 o'clock in the evening, the children were all asleep, and Sun Zhiwei and Tong Jiajia were washing up.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside, and it became louder and louder.

Sun Zhiwei was worried, so he put on his coat and walked towards the door.

When he arrived at the gate, he saw that the number of guards on duty had increased from two to seven or eight, and everyone had an excited look on their face. He hurried forward to inquire about the situation.

Before the guard could answer, a noisy crowd outside ran past the door, everyone shouting something excitedly.

"Teacher Sun, it's a mushroom bomb. Our mushroom bomb exploded." A young guard answered his question loudly.
