Chapter 74 How Can I Feel at Ease?
"Don't forget to buy a bicycle, a sewing machine and a radio for Li Bao. If the money I give you is not enough, you can pay for it yourself first, and I will ask your mother to pay you back later."
As parents, they naturally have to prepare a dowry for their precious daughter's marriage, but it is quite far from Aoli Village to Beicheng. It would be inconvenient to bring the dowry with her.
So, Captain Jiang and his wife discussed it and managed to get a ticket for a sewing machine, a bicycle, and a radio through Director Wu. They spent a lot of money, but Captain Jiang and his wife didn't even blink.
Jiang Guosheng: "I can't forget it."
"Then let's do it. Your elder brother and I will leave now."
Captain Jiang asked his elder brother to follow him, and the two walked towards the ticket gate.
…
"Dad, why are we in such a hurry? And... and dad, did you forget to give the dowry prepared by the family to Li Bao, so you asked him to help when the second son sent us off..."
Sitting on the train, Brother Jiang saw that Captain Jiang had no unusual expression on his face, and couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart.
"During the busy farming season, your father is the captain, do you think I can stay outside? As for whether I forgot to give the dowry prepared by the family to Li Bao, this is not the case."
Captain Jiang looked through the half-open window beside him at the people who came to see him off on the platform, and said slowly: "After the Zhou family incident, Li Bao's personality has changed a little. If I give her the dowry directly, are you sure she will take it?"
Hearing this, Brother Jiang almost blurted out: "Most likely not."
"If it weren't for the Zhou family incident, Li Bao might have accepted it, but with the Zhou family incident, you can see the changes in Li Bao. She is no longer as indispensable as before. The governor knows how to be considerate of his family.
He knows how to keep his thoughts to himself. Once he sees the tickets in my hand, he will definitely not take them. It happened that the second son came to Beicheng to visit Li Bao, so I took the opportunity to let him prepare the dowry for Li Bao,
lest there be flatterers in the compound who think that our Li Bao has no dowry and is paying for your brother-in-law, and then gossip about it behind your back and hurt your sister. "
In fact, if Jiang Guosheng and his wife had not appeared, Captain Jiang had thought about it. Before leaving the compound and returning to his hometown, he would go to the Song family and give the "dowry" prepared by the family for Jiang Li to Ms. Qi, and then Ms. Qi would find someone to help buy it and send it directly to the Luo family.
As for not helping his precious daughter to buy a washing machine at the department store, Captain Jiang also wanted to ask Ms. Qi for help.
After all, Captain Jiang had never heard of a washing machine in his hometown. Even though Captain Jiang was a knowledgeable person, he had never heard anyone mention that washing machines were sold in department stores in the city. Therefore, he felt that he might not be able to help, so he simply did not mention going to the department store. After hesitating for a while, Brother Jiang asked: "Dad, you are still worried about Li Bao, right?"
"How can you be worried?"
Captain Jiang looked melancholy: "Your sister has never left home since she was a child. Although she has become calmer than before, she is still young and has no wits. I am afraid that she will be wronged and keep it to herself when we don't know."
He was a little depressed, but Brother Jiang still comforted Captain Jiang: "Don't we have Xiaowu here? He will help us take care of Li Bao."
"Your fifth brother has a job, how much time can he have to take care of Li Bao? Forget it, this fledgling will fly into the sky one day, and your sister is an adult anyway. We have to learn to let go and let her face the future by herself."
