Chapter 143 Then get engaged

  Seeing his partner's difficulty in answering, Lan Dazhuang panicked!

  Could it be that his partner doesn't want to get engaged to him?

  By the way, I haven't explained the situation of the engagement gift, and no girl will marry a man who has nothing.

   "Xiao Chu, I grew up in the village, so I don't know much about the rules of your county. The bride price required here..."

   "It doesn't matter how much the bride price is." Tang Chu, who was hesitating whether to get engaged so soon, replied subconsciously when he heard Lan Dazhuang's words.

  She really doesn't care how much the bride price is, as long as the man treats her well, life will be fine.

  She felt that even if Lan Ande was from the countryside, it didn't matter that he might not have much ability.

   What she wanted was Lan Ande, not money.

  Besides, she has a very good job now, with a monthly salary of fifty or sixty yuan. There are other benefits and bonuses during the New Year's Day, so she can afford to support her family by herself.

  Tang Chu never thought that Lan Ande was the eldest brother of the director of Lan, so he could get a lot of money.

  The money earned by Director Lan is earned by Director Lan himself, and has nothing to do with the brothers in the family. She is still very clear about this.

  Lan Dazhuang heard that his partner didn't care how much the bride price was.

   Then he will watch and get ready~!

   "As for the bride price, my parents are getting older, so I plan to take it myself. Do you think five hundred is okay?"

   "Watches, bicycles, and sewing machines are the three major items. Except for the sewing machine, I don't think I can use it at home. I will buy the other two depending on what brand you like."

  Lan Dazhuang spoke seriously and sincerely.

  Although he does not have much money now, he is strong, willing to work, and able to earn money.

  Engagement is a major event, and he will not wrong his partner. For this matter, he will open his mouth to his little sister and borrow some money to deal with emergencies.

   Judging from the current situation of free-range chicken farms, he will be able to pay back the money in less than a year.

  Although the money raised by the four brothers and sisters was still several hundred dollars left over, the money was reserved for the construction of the rear pheasant farm and orchard, and he would not mess with it.

  At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he originally thought that the betrothal gifts in rural areas were at most one hundred, three major items, and so on, so he didn't even think about it.

  But now, Lan Ande asked for five hundred, and would he buy her a bicycle and a watch?

  Even if you get married in a county town, the dowry is only two hundred or at most three hundred. If she really gets five hundred dowry, she will be envied by her relatives~!

  Tang Chu is not a vain person, but when his daughter gets married, she still hopes to have a good life, so that people will praise it when they mention it.

  She thought for a while, "It doesn't need five hundred, three hundred is fine. As for watches and bicycles, I am the factory director's secretary, and the watch factory makes them for me. I pay my own wages for bicycles and have savings, so I can just buy them myself."

  Tang Chu will not let others pay so much just because they are rich.

  No one's money comes from the wind.

  Lan Dazhuang heard that his partner only wanted 300 dowry gifts, not even bicycles and watches, which made him slightly surprised——

   Immediately, he realized that he had really found a good partner!

  Since Xiao Chu requested this, of course he would agree.

  Actually, Lan Dazhuang didn't care much about the amount of the bride price, because no matter how much, he would earn more money for his wife in the future.

   "Then it's settled, which date should we choose for our engagement?" Lan Dazhuang happily asked his partner.

  Tang Chu:?

  She... seems to have been entangled?

  Before she planned to think about whether to get engaged so soon, but it turned out that she made the final decision on the amount of bride price—

  At the beginning of Tang Dynasty:...

   But thinking about it again, I don't seem to have any repulsive thoughts about getting engaged.

  Since I personally agreed, then... get engaged!

  When making this decision, Tang Chu cheered herself up in her heart. Since she agreed to have a date with Big Brother Lan, it seems that the engagement is not bad.

  So Tang Chu really thought about the engagement date seriously.

   "Then it will be Labor Day in May." Tang Chu replied.

  Labor is the most glorious, and she thinks it will be very commemorative to get engaged on this festival.

  Lan Dazhuang thought for a while, it was only the beginning of March, and by May he could raise three hundred yuan just by selling eggs.

  Although the egg money belongs to the four of them, he will use it first and make up for it later. I believe the younger brothers and younger sister will agree.

   "That's it." Lan Dazhuang said, smiling happily, grinning, showing a row of big white teeth, excited for a while.

   But if you're happy, you're happy, he hasn't forgotten the business of coming to the county today.

  Lan Dazhuang once again raised the sack containing the rooster and a basket of eggs.

   "Can you accept this thing?"

  Tang Chu:?

   She looked at the elder brother of the director Lan suspiciously, thinking, the elder brother Lan must have decided to get engaged in order to let herself accept what he gave him...?

  Although it was just a guess, Tang Chu didn't know. At this moment, she guessed right——

  …

  When Tang Chu agreed to accept the chicken and eggs sent by Lan Dazhuang, on the other side, the toilet paper factory.

  At noon, Lan Shu's dinner party was arranged in the factory cafeteria.

   According to Director Lan's instructions, Secretary Qu asked the cafeteria to prepare abundant ingredients, opened a small stove alone, and prepared a large table of dishes.

  On the generous red lacquered table with a sense of age, there are six or seven meat dishes, three or four vegetarian dishes, and three big pots of soup, all chicken, duck and fish.

  The cook in the canteen of the factory was recruited by Deputy Factory Manager Zhu. The cooks and his family used to work as cooks in the canteen of the paper mill, and they are considered skilled in this line of work.

   Lan Shu tasted every dish, and felt that Xiaozao's cooking skills were not bad.

  Although it is not as delicious as her cooking, it is almost comparable to ordinary restaurants outside.

  In addition to inviting Mark for today's meal, the technician who recently followed Mark to learn machine maintenance was also called by Lan Shu to accompany him.

  He Yi is a technician in the machinery factory next door, and the other two are employees of the factory. One is Qin Liang and the other is Wei Cai. They are both in their thirties.

  He Yi is the youngest of the three, and also the best in machine maintenance.

Even if he is not an employee in his own factory, if there is a small malfunction in the machine in the factory, He Yi will immediately rush to help the factory solve the problem on the machine if there is a phone call from the toilet paper factory, and Lan Shu should treat him to dinner. A meal as a token of thanks.

  At the dinner table, Lan Shu, the director of the factory, was there, and Secretary Qu was indispensable.

   Originally, Deputy Factory Director Zhu should also come, but at noon today, Deputy Factory Director Zhu’s house happened to have guests, so we couldn’t get together.

  So six people, bring soup and more than a dozen vegetables, it can be said to be very rich~!

   This meal, let Mark agree again and again.

  At the dinner table, while eating, Lan Shu did not forget to learn about the progress of foreign machinery development with Mark.

  According to Lan Shu’s description of the folding and packaging machine for making small pocket toilet paper, Mark said that although their machine factory does not have such a machine, it is not a problem to manufacture it.

  She didn't place an order right away, she just learned how easy it is to make such a machine.

  If the process is not very complicated, she still hopes to give more opportunities to domestic machinery factories.
