Yang Dong’s mother was also anxious, because Hu Changmei was the daughter-in-law she had high hopes for!

Originally thinking that young people nowadays are different from those in the past, they all value free love. Mother Yang originally planned to let her son get in touch with Hu Changmei first, and wait until the two young people have a good impression of each other and have that "emotional foundation", then she would find a matchmaker to come.

Now it seems that we can only put the matter of "finding a matchmaker to come to the house" at the forefront.

Chen Xiaohong was waiting for them to come.

After listening to Yang's mother's various compliments on her daughter, Chen Xiaohong smiled the whole time and only asked Yang Dong one question:

"Do you like my daughter?"

Yang Dong blushed and answered loudly, "I like it! I like it. I liked it when we first met."

This worthless look is too much to bear for Mother Yang.

Is this still her stupid son who is unwilling to go on blind dates just to make money?

All I can say is that sometimes young people are unwilling to go on blind dates, not necessarily because they don’t want to get married, but because the person introduced by people around them is not the one they like.

When Yang's mother was arranging a blind date for Yang Dong and Tong Xiaoyan, although Yang Dong didn't say anything, he took the initiative to run two trips out of town for others.

This was his silent resistance.

He had met Tong Xiaoyan several times. She was gentle and lovely, with a scholarly air. Many young men in the town were attracted to her, but they were afraid of Boss Tong's reputation and did not dare to make a move on her.

But Yang Dong didn't really want to date this girl.

There's no other reason, it's just that we feel like we're from different worlds and can't talk to each other at all.

Tong Xiaoyan likes poetry and songs and can speak eloquently.

Yang Dong likes gold, silver, copper and iron, and he always swears.

Tong Xiaoyan likes reading.

Yang Dong likes to look at the account books.

Yang Dong felt that if his family insisted on bringing him and Tong Xiaoyan together, it would be very painful for both Tong Xiaoyan and himself.

Therefore, when Yang Dong heard that Tong Xiaoyan's mother had introduced a boyfriend to her and Tong Xiaoyan herself was quite satisfied with the boyfriend, he was not angry but felt greatly relieved.

Fortunately, I didn’t choose him!

I originally thought that Granny Hu’s role as a matchmaker wouldn’t work out.

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, I ended up falling in love with Grandma Hu’s granddaughter?

There is a big difference between liking and disliking.

When his family arranged for Yang Dong to go on a blind date with another girl, he ran as far away as possible and even wanted to apply to settle down in the frontier office and not go home for three to five years.

Now that he heard that the girl he loved was going on a blind date, Yang Dong couldn't sleep well the whole night.

It was not a dream that I attended Hu Changmei’s wedding, but the groom was not himself.

I dreamed that I excitedly brought a matchmaker to someone’s house, but when I entered the door, I found that the matchmaker from another family had already arrived.

Before dawn this morning, Yang Dong urged his mother to go out and find a matchmaker.

To be honest, if they didn't have to hire a matchmaker when proposing marriage in person, he would definitely run to the Hu family's doorstep before dawn and squat there.

Anyway, before the matchmaker hired by his family arrives, no other matchmaker can ever think of entering the Hu family’s door!

…

On May 18th, Hu Changmei and Yang Dong’s engagement party was held at the Grand Hotel.

Both families are locals and have many relatives and friends. Even before the wedding day, they had already set up ten tables for the engagement banquet alone!

All the relatives on the Yang family's side were in high spirits.

Who doesn’t know that the bride, Hu Changmei, is the beloved daughter of Director Hu of the garment factory?

At a young age, he opened a two-story clothing store in Xinjie. It is no exaggeration to say that he made a fortune every day.

I heard that the dowry was quite generous.

In addition to the clothing store on Xinjie Street, there is also a three-story building on Xinjie Street, three and a half storefronts on Provincial Highway 336, plus 100,000 yuan in cash.

It is said that the bride's relatives also gave a lot of makeup.

My uncle and aunt gave me a pair of heavy gold dragon and phoenix bracelets and a brand new Jialing motorcycle.

Hu Qiongfang, the aunt, was even more generous. It was said that she directly gave her niece a suitcase. When it was opened, it was filled with a whole set of heavy, elaborately crafted gold and jade head ornaments.

This idea was proposed by Jiang Tian. The prices of gold and jade articles have continued to rise in the following decades.

Moreover, if the money is given directly, it will be easily spent. However, most people are reluctant to sell the gold and jade dowry that are hidden in the bottom of the box unless it is absolutely necessary.

Not only will these things continue to appreciate in value in my second cousin's hands, but they can also be used to help her small family in emergencies when necessary, which is much more practical than cash.

The most important thing is that the visual effect of displaying a box of gold and jade artifacts is much more shocking than cash.

We must fill the table with food for my second cousin!

Hu Changmei was almost scared to death.

This was the first time in her life that she had seen so much gold.

It's not that she can't afford it. Her clothing store in Xinjie is close to the University of Foreign Languages, so business has always been booming. Even if she buys it herself, she can afford the money.

But this was the first time someone gave her so much gold.

The bride was moved and hugged her aunt and uncle.

The groom's back teeth were almost broken.

His future wife's relatives are too generous, which puts him under a lot of pressure.

It seems that he will have to work harder to make money in the future. One day, he will also buy boxes of gold for his wife!

I don’t know if all the Hu family members have any special hobby for gold. At the engagement party, the dowry that Grandma Hu and Grandpa Hu gave to their granddaughter was actually a gold bracelet.

Moreover, he gave away ten heavy dragon and phoenix bracelets at once. Judging from the weight, each bracelet must weigh at least one hundred grams.

Hu Jianjun and Chen Xiaohong also prepared a gift for their new son-in-law:

A men's gold watch and a big gold chain as thick as your little finger!

Yang Dong was almost breaking out in a cold sweat.

No, he really never thought of marrying Director Hu’s beloved daughter and living off her in the future.

But looking at the dowry his wife brought, and the room full of glittering gold, it seemed that he had no choice but to eat this bowl of hot rice...

He really thought too much.

After getting married, Hu Changmei personally bought a safe and locked all the valuable gold items in the house, including his gold watch and big gold chain, in the safe.

She usually wears an ordinary quartz watch that costs more than one hundred yuan, a small gold ring on her ring finger, and a pair of simple gold earrings in her pierced ears.

The life of living off his wife that Yang Dong had imagined did not happen. One month after the marriage, he was sent out by his wife to earn money.

In my wife's words, the wealth and prosperity she had in the first twenty years of her life was given to her by her parents.

The wealth and prosperity for the next few decades will all depend on her husband Yang Dong.

Yang Dong loves to hear this!

"Xiao Mei, just wait. When I come back this time, I will definitely buy you a small gold brick!"

His wife doesn't like dressing up or writing poetry or songs. She just likes buying and saving gold. As a man, what else can Yang Dong do?

Of course, work hard to make money and buy gold for my wife!
