Dreaming of 1988, I have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts

From then on, Huang Bo would go to Qiao's house whenever he had time.

In addition to farming, Huang's father also has several skills. In addition to playing the suona at weddings and funerals in the village, he also has the skill to repair bicycles, so Huang Bo's family lives a much better life than ordinary farmers.

After graduating from junior high school, Huang Bo learned how to repair bicycles from his father. After a few years, he opened a bicycle repair shop in the town.

He still went to the Qiao family frequently, and whenever he went, he would bring large and small bags of gifts, most of which were Qiao Xiaoling's favorite foods.

At that time, Qiao Xiaoling was still young and didn't quite understand the matters between men and women. She just felt that Huang Bo was like her own brother and was very kind to her, so she became closer to Huang Bo.

Two years later, wealthy families in the town began to buy motorcycles, and picking up passengers on three-wheeled motorcycles became popular. Huang Bo saw the business opportunity and went to the city to learn the technology of repairing motorcycles.

A year later, he returned after completing his studies and added motorcycle repair business to the store.

After graduating from junior high school, Qiao Xiaofeng stayed at home to farm.

At this time, Qiao Xiaoling had also graduated from junior high school. After graduation, she went to the town to find a master to learn tailoring. This gave Huang Bo and Qiao Xiaoling more opportunities to interact.

That year, Huang Bo bought a motorcycle and often took Qiao Xiaoling to travel between the town and home.

Although the window paper was not broken, in the eyes of the Qiao family, Huang Bo was short and fat, but the young man came from a wealthy family and was hardworking, so they tacitly approved of their relationship.

From childhood to adulthood, Qiao Xiaoling has always been cared for by Huang Bo. She doesn't know whether this feeling is family affection or love. In short, she has always enjoyed all kinds of gifts given to her by Huang Bo and never refused.

Compared with girls of the same age, she eats well and dresses fashionably.

Huang Bo also often brought Qiao Xiaoling home, and the Huang family liked her from the bottom of their hearts. This girl was beautiful and had a sweet mouth.

Every time Qiao Xiaoling went to the Huang family, Huang's mother would prepare delicious food for her. She treated her better than her own two daughters and in her heart she accepted this future daughter-in-law.

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Xiaoling was about to turn 20 years old, and Huang Bo discussed with his family and prepared to go to the Qiao family to propose marriage.

During this period, Qiao Xiaofeng met a girl from a neighboring village through an introduction, who is Qiao Xiaofeng's wife in the photo.

The two of them had been together for a while and were ready to discuss marriage.

But when Qiao Xiaofeng brought his parents to the girl's house to propose marriage, the girl's family made two unreasonable demands. First, the Qiao family had to pay a betrothal gift of 1 yuan, and second, they had to build a two-story Western-style house before they were willing to marry their daughter.

The two elders of the Qiao family had gloomy faces and reluctantly agreed, saying that they would go home and think of a solution.

"Xiaofeng! Our family can't afford this daughter-in-law! Let's just forget it!"

On the way home, Dad Qiao spoke to Qiao Xiaofeng earnestly.

"Yes, Xiaofeng, our family has to scrape together money here and there, and we can only come up with 5000 yuan at most. This money is only enough for your wedding. How can you build a building? The red brick and tile house we built two years ago cost more than 5000 yuan. Where can we get the money to build a building?"

Seeing her son's dejected look, Mother Qiao also said with a frustrated look on her face.

"What should I do? I really like her." Qiao Xiaofeng said in a low voice.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Dad Qiao lit a cigarette and walked silently in front.

A few days later, Huang Bo brought his parents to the Qiao family.

After explaining their purpose, the Qiao family was not surprised. When the four old men were talking in the main room, Qiao Xiaofeng had an idea and suddenly thought of a good way to solve his problem.

What a good idea? Of course, it is to ask the Huang family to pay the bride price.

At this time, Huang Bo went to the backyard to find Qiao Xiaoling, while Qiao Xiaofeng stood at the door and waved to his mother. Qiao's mother understood and stood up and walked towards him.

As soon as Qiao's mother walked to the door, Qiao Xiaofeng excitedly pulled her into the room and closed the door.

"Xiaofeng, why are you in such a hurry? What are you doing?" Qiao's mother looked at Qiao Xiaofeng with suspicion and asked.

"Mom, mom, let me tell you something." said Qiao Xiaofeng.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I have to go outside to deal with your eldest sister's matter." Mother Qiao was a little impatient.

"Mom, when we go to propose marriage, doesn't her family want a dowry? Huang Bo is here to propose marriage today, so we can also ask for a dowry!" Huang Bo said.

"Yes, of course we need a gift!"

Qiao's mother opened her eyes wide and said, "I'm talking to your father and the Huang family."

"Well, then you want 20,000." Qiao Xiaofeng said with a smile, squinting his eyes.

"What do you want to do?" Mother Qiao paused, looked at her son with an expectant look on his face, and sighed.

"Hey, boy, do you really have to marry her?"

"Mom, I like her and I will not marry anyone else." Qiao Xiaofeng said aggrievedly.

"Okay! I'll go out and discuss it with your dad." After saying that, Mother Qiao opened the door and walked out.

After going out, she smiled at the two elders of the Huang family, pulled Qiao's father aside, and relayed Qiao Xiaofeng's meaning to him.

"This, how can this be possible?" Qiao's father's face immediately darkened. He understood that life in the countryside has been difficult in recent years, and a family that can come up with 5000 yuan is already considered wealthy.

The Huang family has been living a better life in recent years because they have been running a repair shop. They can already save one dollar, which is the best they can do. Asking for 100 dollars is really a bit too much.

"I don't care about that. This is all I need for our son. His family owns a shop, so if I borrow the money, he can pay it back quickly."

Mother Qiao glared at Father Qiao and spoke to him in a commanding tone.

Mr. Qiao looked embarrassed, but he forced a smile and walked towards the two elders of the Huang family. Mother Qiao followed him.

"Brother Huang, sister-in-law, we are all very happy that these two children can be together, but, but..."

At this point, Mr. Qiao paused and was too embarrassed to speak.

When Mrs. Qiao saw that Mr. Qiao couldn't say anything, she pinched his thigh hard.

Dad Qiao felt a piercing pain, frowned, and rolled his eyes at Mom Qiao.

"Brother Qiao, if you have anything to say, just say it. From now on, we are in-laws." Father Huang said politely.

"Brother Qiao, sister-in-law, do you want to talk about the betrothal gift? This is the rule and we know it. Just tell us. As long as we can do it, Xiaoling will not suffer any loss. I like Xiaoling from the bottom of my heart."

Huang Ma smiled and said, I have to admit, women are more attentive. Just now, when she saw the two elders of the Qiao family whispering, she knew that they were discussing how much dowry to ask for.

"This, this!" Dad Qiao kept saying this for a long time but was still too embarrassed to speak.

"Brother Huang, sister-in-law, since you said so, I won't be polite. Our family wants a large betrothal gift."

Huang Ma finally couldn't hold it in anymore and said it directly.

As soon as she said this, the whole room fell into silence.

Huang Dad and Huang Dad looked at each other with their mouths wide open.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you asking for too much? The market price in our area these years is only 5000 yuan, and only wealthy families can afford it."

Huang's mother's face darkened as she spoke. Before coming, she had discussed with Huang's father and decided to give the highest betrothal gift of 5000 yuan. This would give the Huang family face, and the remaining money would be just enough to arrange Huang Bo's marriage.
