Chapter 1955 [The Problem of the Bride Price]

times rì.

Sunday.

I came back from the old man a little late last night. Jing was chatting with Xie Ran and the others. In the morning, Dong Xuebin naturally slept in, and only got up at ten o'clock in the morning. Kicked off the quilt and got out of bed to wash.

Wash your face.

brush teeth.

While we were struggling, the phone at home rang.

Dong Xuebin hurriedly wiped his face with a towel and went out to pick up the grades on the second floor. No one had lived in the house for a long time, and the phone was covered with a fine layer of dust. He touched Dong Xuebin's hand. So clean. Originally, I bought this place for my mother, Luan Xiaoping. My mother married Uncle Yang, which is a bit of filial piety for him as a son, but my mother does not want to live or die. Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan are not in the capital, so the house is naturally empty. Now, three hundred and sixty-five days a year is estimated to be able to live in three or four days, and it is only when others have business or have a party to take care of Dong Xuebin. Dong Xuebin basically does not live, even if he comes back to the capital occasionally to do business I'm still used to living in a courtyard house. It's so pleasant to live there. It's a large area, and it's still in the city center.

"Hey, who is it?" Dong Xuebin didn't use his home phone very much, so he had it, but he didn't save anyone's number, and he didn't know who it was.

"It's me." There was the voice of the mother-in-law.

Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Mom, you got up so early?"

Han Jing laughed and said, "It's still early, it's already past ten o'clock, have you just woken up?"

Dong Xuebin snorted, "I'm washing my face. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, so I slept late today. I booked my flight ticket at 7 o'clock in the evening."

Han Jing said, "It's hard to come back and don't stay for a few more days?"

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "There are still a lot of things in the county. I really can't go away. Next time, Mom, I will definitely accompany you and my dad when I come back next time."

Han Jing sighed and said: "You and Huilan are gone, I don't even have anyone to talk to, and I can't even see my grandson. Oh, forget it, I know you're busy, and you're all trying hard. When I was in the office, my mother just complained, hehe, just come back often, by the way, can you come to the old man at noon? **And your second uncle also went to the unit, we should be just a few of us today, oh yes, Xiaojing Xiaohao also said it."

Dong Xuebin said: "Sure, then I'll pack up and I'll be there at twelve o'clock.

"

"Don't worry, it's only five minutes and ten minutes by car from your place anyway," Han Jing said.

Dong Xuebin's villa is near the West Fourth Ring Road, almost next to the old man's house, which is a few kilometers long. So Dong Xuebin was not in a hurry to go out. Seeing that the sun was dazzling and the weather was very good today, he searched for a pair of swimming trunks from the cabinet for a long time, inflated a small air cushion, and went downstairs with the air cushion in his arms. The swimming pool in the backyard was full of leaves and soil. It was not very clean. After all, it had not been used for a long time. Dong Xuebin simply cleaned it at the fastest speed, and then filled the swimming pool with water.

The water is very clear.

The sun shines brightly, very beautiful.

Dong Xuebin couldn't wait any longer, so he plunged into the water and swam back and forth for two laps. It wasn't a hot day yet, and it wasn't the climate for outdoor swimming. I grabbed it and climbed up, just leaning on the air cushion and floating on the water to bask in the sun.

It feels good.

How comfortable, how comfortable.

Dong Xuebin finally squinted his eyes and rowed to the shore to smoke a cigarette. He felt that he was very relaxed, and it was really good to enjoy life occasionally.

half an hour……

One hour……

The leisurely Dong Xuebin finally fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that the sun had reached the top of his head. Sticking his head out of the water, he swam ashore in three or two strokes and ran into the house to check his watch. Well, it was half past twelve. He quickly went to get dressed and fetched things, and hurriedly drove to the old man. Isn't this a delay? I just made an appointment with my mother-in-law to arrive before twelve o'clock. It's been a long time.

...

Not at all.

Dong Xuebin embarrassedly rang the doorbell of the old man's villa.

The door opened, and it was Xie Jing who opened it, "Brother-in-law, you are too late."

"I know I know, where's my mother? Where's my grandpa?" Dong Xuebin walked inside.

"Auntie is inside. Grandpa went upstairs to take a nap after eating early." Xie Jing closed the door behind.

In the living room, Han Jingzheng and Ci Lifen were sitting on the sofa chatting. Only their two elders were there. Xie Guobang and Xie Guojian didn't see it. They must be working in the unit, and then they were playing with the tablet in the corner of the living room. Xie Hao, I guess he was playing the game. While playing, he made a sound in his mouth to match the actions in the game. Dong Xuebin came in and he didn't even look at it, just caring for himself to play.

"Mom." Dong Xuebin sneered.

Han Jing glanced at him, "Check the time for yourself."

Dong Xuebin hurriedly smiled and said, "After a swim, I fell asleep on the air mattress with me in the swimming pool. I'm relying on me, so what, do you still have food?"

Ci Lifen smiled and said, "Yes, but it's just leftovers."

"That's what my mother fried, too. The leftovers taste better than other restaurants." Dong Xuebin flattered.

Han Jing was amused for a moment, "This kid has a sweet mouth. Come on, wash your hands and prepare to eat. Mom will warm up the dishes for you."

"Don't, you sit and I go by yourself." Dong Xuebin went to the back kitchen.

Xie Jing said: "I really envy my brother-in-law, I also want a private swimming pool."

Ci Lifen smiled and said, "Our family, only your brother-in-law has this treatment. Even the old man has never lived in a villa with a swimming pool."

This is true. It's not that their Xie family has no money, but they can't afford this kind of villa. The public's current perception thinks that as long as an official has money, they must have several villas. It's a rare case, and the money doesn't come from the right way. The political-governance-family-family like the Xie family has always been relatively clean, not to mention the salaries of Han Jing and Cilifen, even at the level of Xie Guobang, The one-year salary is probably not the same as the one-day dividend generated by Dong Xuebin's 20% shares in Sister Zhang's company. It belongs to the family's courtyard, and the house does not even belong to you, let alone a swimming pool. A single-family villa with a swimming pool is a commercial mansion.

soon.

Dong Xuebin came out with the microwave-heated dish. As soon as he put it on the table, he couldn't wait to eat it.

Han Jing said: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, hehe."

Dong Xuebin smacked his lips and said, "You can't eat slowly, the more you eat, the more hungry you become."

At this time, Xie Jing went to the bathroom alone to go to the toilet.

Seeing Xie Jing's absence, Ci Lifen chatted with Han Jing, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Ran is going to have a family. As soon as my brother gets married, Xiao Jing must be here soon. How much do you think we should give? Ten people per person? 10,000? Is it a little bit? Or 200,000?"

Han Jing said, "Let's discuss it later."

Ci Lifen hummed, "Isn't it in a hurry?"

Xie Hao heard that, this kid is a money fan, and he doesn't play games anymore after hearing this, "So many? Hey, then I have to get married as soon as possible!"

Dong Xuebin swallowed the food in his mouth, "How old are you, you haven't reached the legal age for marriage."

Han Jing was also amused by Xie Hao, looked at him and said, "When you get married, your aunt will give you a big gift, okay?"

Xie Hao smiled, "Thank you, Auntie."

Dong Xuebin teased him: "I won't give it to you when you get married."

"Damn it, how can I do it, brother-in-law!" Xie Hao was anxious, "I'm counting on your money! If you give me less than one million, then I'll feel sorry for you!"

Ci Lifen patted her son's head, "Where can I ask for some money for myself?"

Xie Hao didn't listen, "Brother-in-law, you can give me more when the time comes. By the way, last time you promised me that you would buy me a car when I was admitted to university. I will take the college entrance examination in a few months, don't you forget it? ."

Dong Xuebin lowered his head to eat, "Did I say so?"

"I said it! My sister and my brother are listening!" Xie Hao cried out anxiously.

Dong Xuebin glanced at him, "I've been in the door for a long time, you kid didn't even say hello, and you played your game without seeing me, and I bought you a car?"

Xie Hao immediately softened, and hurriedly sat down with his smiling face and hooked his shoulders with Dong Xuebin, "Don't, brother-in-law, I didn't see you come in just now, I was too focused, I can say hello to you now, what, what? We can't go back on the car thing."

Xie Jing also came out of the bathroom and laughed with them.

At this moment, the doorbell rang, Xie Jing immediately got up and went to open the door, with a smile on her face, "It should be my parents coming back."

The door opened, and it turned out to be Xie Guoliang and Xia Yanzhen.

Later, Xie Ran also followed into the room, but his expression seemed very ugly.

Before Dong Xuebin had finished eating, he raised his head and blinked to look over, but he didn't understand what was going on.

It was Han Jing who said, "Guoliang, Yanzhen, what's the matter? Didn't the parents from both sides meet to discuss engagement? This is a happy event, why do you have this expression?"

Ci Lifen asked, "Have you conflicted with the third child of the Fang family?"

Xia Yanzhen sighed, "No."

"Then... did they regret it?" Han Jing asked.

Xia Yanzhen said: "It's not, sigh, don't mention it, Xiaoling's parents are really too much, they can't even talk about it, they made me angry, I'll say this marriage is not suitable or not, Xiaoran still must..."

"Mom, don't say a few words." Xie Ran said depressedly.

"Guoliang." Han Jing looked at him, "Tell me."

Xie Guoliang paused and said, "It's about the dowry." (To be continued...)
