Gao Xiaoguang frowned slightly and said nothing.
Gao Xiaoshan, standing by, lowered her head, clutching the floral collar of her shirt with both hands, feeling extremely conflicted.
Gao Jizu was smoking his pipe with a "baji, baji" sound.
Although the Gao family also favors boys over girls, it is hard for a father to bear watching his own daughter jump into the fire pit.
But on the way to Sijiu City, my father said that if the matter of his third brother got out of hand, not only would his third brother be shot, but his son Qilin's future would also be affected.
For the sake of the rare son that appeared only once in several generations in the Gao family, he had no choice but to cruelly let his daughter marry someone else.
"Xiaoguang, your sister is going to marry someone else, and I am thinking about you. You are the only cadre in our Gao family.
Before coming here, your grandma and I decided that after your father gets married, your grandma and I will separate from your father.
After the family splits up, even if your father gets into trouble, it won't affect you."
"..."
PUA plus threats?
PUA is a skill that the old man is good at. As for threats, Gao Xiaoguang knows that his grandfather does not have that intention.
Ever since he was admitted to technical secondary school, the happiest person in the Gao family is Grandpa.
It is for this reason that grandpa and grandma do not agree to divide the family.
Of course, it’s not that my grandparents like my cheap dad, but they are attracted by his monthly salary and bills.
When he graduated from technical secondary school, his parents asked him to pay 5 yuan and 10 kilograms of food coupons every month.
Since the advent of the bill era, food coupons have been hard currency.
Food coupons can be exchanged for various bills such as cloth, oil, meat, shoes, etc.
It can be said that food coupons were more commonly used than RMB during the heyday, otherwise there would not be national food coupons and local food coupons.
"Master, you should discuss the division of the family with my parents. As a junior, I can't overstep my bounds."
Gao Xiaoguang stood up, picked up the thermos, put some tea leaves in it, and brewed two cups of tea. He placed them in front of his father and the others and said, "But in order to let my father get married, I want my sister to marry someone else. I absolutely disagree."
Gao Xiaoshan looked at her younger brother with gratitude. Gao Jizu, who was smoking a pipe, said nothing. Ever since Gao Xiaoguang was admitted to a technical secondary school, his status in the family has risen sharply and he can take charge of half the family.
"Xiaoguang, if we don't let your sister marry off, our family won't be able to raise 150 yuan." The unshaven old man Gao looked worried.
In the heyday, it cost more than 100 yuan to build two large tiled houses in the countryside. Add the betrothal gifts and the wedding banquet, and it would cost at least 200 yuan if you calculated carefully.
The Gao family is the most disadvantaged family among the disadvantaged families in Gaojia Village, otherwise the 25-year-old youngest son would still be single.
"Grandpa, it will cost 200 yuan for my dad's wedding. I roughly calculated that 50 yuan will be enough for the betrothal gift, the wedding banquet and other expenses." Gao Xiaoguang smiled confidently.
"If it's just a marriage, 50 yuan is the maximum, but the Qin family has already said that they won't marry a girl without two large tiled houses."
Old Master Gao frowned, and Gao Jizu beside him also looked at his son, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.
"Master, if the Qin family wants two large tiled houses from us, should we build two large tiled houses?
Of course, our Qin family is using this opportunity to marry off our daughter and let us build two large tiled houses. It is not considered as taking advantage of the situation. The Qin family also wants to make life easier for their daughter to marry into the family."
Grandpa Gao, Gao Jizu and even Gao Xiaoshan, who was lowering her head beside him, all looked up at him.
Gao Xiaoguang explained with a smile, "Dad was able to control himself for a moment and had sex with the Qin family's daughter. If it got out of hand, Dad would have been sent to a farm for reform or shot at. It was because he couldn't control himself, and he deserved it.
But think about it, if the matter gets out of hand, the Qin family's daughter's reputation will be ruined. Does the Qin family want to see their daughter become an old maid? "
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Gao suddenly realized.
It’s not the old man’s fault that he didn’t think of it before, it’s a problem of cognition.
Gao Xiaoguang continued, "Of course, we should give a generous gift. If 20 is not enough, then 30. After all, it's the father who can't control his pants."
"Dad, I think what Xiaoguang said makes sense. Let's go back and bring generous gifts and a matchmaker to his house." Gao Jizu knocked on his pipe. How could he not agree if he could not let his daughter get married in exchange for a marriage to solve his younger brother's problem?
Gao Xiaolan looked at her grandfather eagerly.
"Then do as Xiaoguang says."
Grandpa Gao picked up the ceramic teacup, took a big sip, glanced at Gao Xiaoguang, and said meaningfully, "Second brother, you also know our family's financial situation over the years, otherwise your younger brother would still be single at the age of 25.
Look... can your family come up with 30 yuan?"
Gao Jizu frowned. He had not divided the family. There were many people in his family. Every year, the work points he earned were left with food rations, and the remaining work points were not enough to repay the debts owed to the village.
Not to mention 30 yuan, I can’t even come up with 5 yuan.
After a moment, the honest and filial boy finally realized that these words were directed at his own son.
Come to think of it, it’s not good for a grandfather to speak directly to his grandson.
Thinking of this, Gao Jizu turned his head and looked at his son eagerly.
"Sir, I've only been working for less than a month and haven't received any salary yet, but I'll pay you the 30 yuan. I'll add another 20 yuan to make it 50 yuan. However... I have a request."
"any request?"
"Take these fifty yuan and return to the village to divide the family property with my father."
Gao Xiaoguang was also using the money to ward off evil. He knew his father's character very well. Now he couldn't control himself and got someone else's girl pregnant. Maybe he would cause trouble in the future.
This time, they can spend 50 yuan to divide the family property. If anything happens to their father in the future, it will not affect their family.
At the same time, he also made up his mind to speed up the process of getting his parents to the city.
For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Gao Jizu did not blame his son, and was even a little happy in his heart.
Over the years, he has earned a lot of work points, but he cannot stop his younger brother from spending money, and he is often scolded by his wife for this.
"Okay! I'll do as you say."
The old man made the final decision.
"Master, then you and my dad can stay at my place tonight while I go out to borrow some money."
Gao Xiaoguang stood up and prepared to go out. His sister grabbed him and took out a handful of banknotes. "Little brother, the banknotes you gave me yesterday still have 13 yuan and 82 yuan."
"Sister, this money is our living expenses for this month."
"Little brother, I will go back to the village with Dad tomorrow." Gao Xiaoshan stuffed a handful of banknotes into her brother's hands. She knew that it was not easy for her brother to be away from home.
"Sister, you can stay with me for a while and come back when my father gets married."
Hearing this, the clever Gao Xiaoshan understood her brother's intention, and she did not insist on going back to the village with her father.
"I have a lot of things to do at home, so I'm going back to the village now." Old Master Gao stood up and said to Gao Jizu, "Second brother, you stay here for one night and go back to the village tomorrow."
After several people tried to persuade him in vain, Gao Xiaoguang took out two bottles of Xifeng, a large-scale product and two canned fruits from the space without telling anyone, put them in a cloth bag and asked the old man to take it home.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to bring more for the old man, but bringing too much will make people jealous.
After seeing the old man off, he went to a trust store to buy a second-hand bed, hired a tricycle, and took his father and sister back to the courtyard. Gao Xiaoguang used the excuse of going back to the machinery factory to borrow money from his colleagues.
However, he did not go to the machinery factory to borrow money. There were still more than 300 yuan in the space. Even if he gave it all to his father, he could still earn nearly 1,000 yuan by selling the materials in the space.
Gao Xiaoguang entered the library and bought several original mechanical design books. He then returned to the courtyard on time. When he was almost there, he took out a pound of pork with fat and lean meat and two ribs from the library.
"You bastard, you're wasting money again."
Gao Jizu acted like a parent and lectured.
"Dad, I feel sorry for you and want to give you some tonic." Gao Xiaoguang handed the meat and ribs to his sister. After his sister took it, she turned around and went out to cook. He took out five big black stones and a five-yuan note and handed them to his father.
Gao Jizu took the big black stone, looked around, closed the door, stuffed the big black stone into his trouser pocket, and took out needle and thread to seal it.
"Son, save your money in the future. Don't rush to get married. Your eldest brother is already 18 and will be getting married soon."
"understood."
Gao Xiaoguang changed the subject and said, "Dad, I want my sister to stay in the city. I will find her a job there when I have the chance."
