According to the customs and rules of Aoshan Town, when marrying a girl, it is also necessary to prepare dowry items. Bedding was the most basic, then half a fan of pork, and wealthy families would marry bicycles or sewing machines. Generally speaking, the more things you dow, the more your daughter will be treated after she marries, and her parents-in-law will be very polite and will not eat anything.

If the things to marry are too shabby, the in-laws will gossip more or less, and if you meet those more fierce fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, it is inevitable to be angry.

Niu Xiaoqiang knew that the third sister didn't want to add a burden to the family, so he put aside the major events in his life, and the eldest sister seemed to be like this. The reason why he said that he would prepare dowries for his sisters was to make them live well in the future.

Hearing the words of the third sister at this moment, Niu Xiaoqiang said with confidence: "Third sister, twenty years old is of course small in the city, but in our Aoshan, it belongs to the older youth, you don't need to delay your youth, I promise you, as long as you find the right person you like, although you promise others, I will bear the dowry and don't need to spend a penny at home!"

Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head to look at the eldest sister when he said this: "And the eldest sister, you are the same, I told you this last year, but I don't mean to joke with you, as long as you have a crush on someone, I will be responsible for the dowry!"

The two sisters laughed and trembled, and their mother Sun Mei was sewing new clothes in the hall, and when she heard Niu Xiaoqiang's words, she also laughed: "Miwa, you can just talk about these things at home, but don't tell outsiders, so as not to make people laugh." ”

After Sun Mei laughed, the words suddenly changed: "Miwa, what do you think of Xiao Wang's lame man? I heard that he is going to set up a factory in partnership with your master, and he will probably be very promising in the future, he seems to still have thoughts about your eldest sister, what is your opinion?"

In the past, Sun Mei categorically would not ask Niu Xiaoqiang's opinion on this kind of matter, but now it is different. Although Niu Xiaoqiang is the youngest child in the family, he is a boy after all, and his weight in the eyes of his parents is more important than that of several daughters. In the case of the eldest son Niu Xiaogang falling out with his family, the family business of the old Niu family can only be passed on to the youngest son.

In addition, Niu Xiaoqiang is currently the most promising child in the family, and his performance has been unanimously recognized by his family, and even Niu Dazhuang is extremely satisfied with him, so Sun Mei will ask for his opinion.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "Mom, we have to look at the character, not the family background, otherwise we will marry money, not people." ”

Sun Mei smiled: "Okay, my mother listens to you, and in the future, I don't look at my family background, I only look at my character." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, and then said: "Wang Deshui is actually very good, he is very self-motivated, and he is relatively smart, the key is that he only thinks about my eldest sister in his heart, I think that if the eldest sister marries him, he will definitely take care of it carefully, and will not let my eldest sister suffer the slightest grievance, but I don't know what kind of attitude the eldest sister has towards him, if the eldest sister doesn't look down on him, then forget it, anyway, there are so many good men in the world, I don't think there is any need to let the eldest sister be wronged." ”

When he said this, he looked at Niu Chunxiang, Niu Chunxiang fiddled with his braids a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Since the little brother said that he was good, then he should be good." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself: The eldest sister has never studied, nor has she seen anything in the world, she must not learn from the second sister, the kind of man who is too good is not very good to have a common language with her, and she can live a good life in a short time, and there will inevitably be problems after a long time, and finding a man who is good to her is the best destination.

"Anyway, you are going to work in the factory in the future, Wang Deshui happens to be the deputy factory director, there are many opportunities for the two of you to meet in the future, whether he is good or not, you can observe it yourself, we will not interfere, in the matter of marriage, it is all up to you to make your own decisions." ”

The three women all sighed, Sun Mei put down the needle and fabric, and walked quickly into the back room, revealing a shocked expression: "Miwa, what did you just say...... Xiao Wang's cripple is going to be the deputy factory director?!"

Although the eldest sister and the third sister did not speak, judging from their expressions, they also had the same shock and confusion as Sun Mei.

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Yes, Wang Deshui will serve as the deputy director of the Hualu Water Factory in the future, in fact, this is not a big deal, you don't need to be so surprised, let alone the deputy director, even if it is the factory director, he must listen to me, otherwise as long as I say a word, my master will definitely resign him immediately." ”

Niu Qiuxiang hesitated: "Little brother, do you really have such great ability?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said: I am the real big boss, isn't it a matter of one sentence to fire Wang Deshui?

He didn't want to reveal these words to his family, so as not to cause a bigger shock. Now he just wants to do his job well, and he doesn't want to spend too much energy on irrelevant things.

"Of course I have such great ability, my master treats me as the object of his future retirement, although I am not his own grandchildren, but there is not much difference between me and his grandchildren, I can speak very well in front of him. ”

The three women nodded, but their expressions were still a little strange, especially Sun Mei, who kept looking at Niu Chunxiang, looking like she wanted to say something.

Niu Qiuxiang was more direct, she grabbed Niu Chunxiang's arm with a smile, and teased: "Sister, you have to seize the opportunity, otherwise Xiao Wang's lame man will be snatched away by others." ”

Although this is a bit snobbish to say, it is also human nature. For poor families, identity and status are very desirable things, so it is not too much to change the principles of dealing with people.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly: "Eldest sister, don't listen to others, it's better to judge for yourself, if you really want to live a good life, you still have to value character, and everything else is secondary." ”

Niu Chunxiang was closest to Niu Xiaoqiang at home, and she listened to Niu Xiaoqiang's words the most, she nodded: "Well, I listen to my little brother, my little brother is so capable, what he said must be right." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Niu Dazhuang's voice sounded outside the door. He was in a good mood and hummed a little song when he entered the door.

Niu Dazhuang's face was full of red light, and he smelled of wine, and he knew at a glance that he had drunk a lot of wine. Sun Mei hurriedly went to pour him tea, and the two sisters went out to say hello to their father. Niu Xiaoqiang took out a box from the crack in the wall, and handed the box to Niu Dazhuang after coming out.

"Dad, you are about to start a new chapter of your life tomorrow, and my son has prepared a gift for you, which can be regarded as congratulating you in advance. ”
