Fang family.

Ji Huai sat down and Fang's mother brought him bowls and chopsticks.

"Aunt, we'll do it ourselves. You sit down to eat. Sit down." Ai Qiao stopped the other party, took the bowls and chopsticks with both hands, and kept saying something.

"I called your dad and your brother, and they came over in a short while. There were a lot of vegetables and meat. Eat with open stomach." Fang's mother said with a smile.

"It's troublesome." Ai Qiao felt sorry.

Fang's mother didn't care: "You only come back once every few years. Why bother? Eat more."

Next, some men from the village also came over one after another, some carrying wine and peanuts.

Ji Huai had a hint that something was going to happen again, so he quickly took out the cigarette from his pocket, stood up and walked forward, holding a lighter to light it, "Uncle, have a cigarette."

"Is this the one from Ai Qiao's family?" one of the men said with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Yes." Ji Huai responded with a smile.

"He looks handsome," the other person said with a smile.

Ji Huai bought a round of cigarettes and was about to walk back when another tall, thin middle-aged man came to the door, followed by a young man. The man pursed his lips tightly and stared at him. Ji Huai walked up with a smile and bowed slightly.

He dressed up and had a humble attitude, "Is this dad? I'm Ji Huai."

Father Ai was obviously startled. He didn't expect to be recognized first and didn't react for a moment.

"You and Ai Qiao look alike, I recognized him immediately." Ji Huai smiled and handed over the cigarette with both hands.

Father Ai took it and looked at him himself.

Ji Huai was undoubtedly tactful in his dealings. He always smiled and spoke in a low manner. After lighting a cigarette for him, he looked behind him and said, "Brother, smoke."

Zhang Jun also reached out to take it.

He was Ai's father's stepson, but he didn't show off. He looked at Ai Qiao, but he felt it was a pity that for such a beautiful girl to marry Ji Huai, a foreigner, she didn't get a penny in gift, and he couldn't get married either.

"Dad, you sit here." Ji Huai brought him a chair, because his behavior could be described as polite.

When Ai's father sat down, Ai Qiao also called out, "Dad."

"Just come back." Father Ai said, looking at the little guy in her arms. He was cute and plump. Now he lowered his head, and he could see a double chin.

His little hands were grabbing his clothes, pulling them out, pulling both hands out, and then he looked up at his father.

"That's grandpa." Ji Huai told him.

The little guy didn't look at Father Ai. He patted the clothes on his stomach, pulled out his hands, and muttered something he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Baby." Ai Qiao also held his hand, and he quickly took his little hand out of hers and continued to pull his clothes, looking at Ji Huai with wide eyes, "#..."

Ji Huai had no choice but touched his head, looked at Father Ai and smiled and said, "He is very afraid of life."

"Children are like this." Father Ai didn't say anything. He took a sip of wine and said, "Although you are married and have children, don't miss out on the procedures you should follow."

"Yes." Ji Huai nodded and assured, "Dad, I know this and I will not wrong Qiaoqiao."

Hearing this, Ai's father looked satisfied, and even Zhang Jun felt comfortable in his heart.

That's good, the bride price is still required.

With the bride price, he can marry a wife.

"I won't embarrass you, just follow the rules here." Father Ai was already thinking about how much he wanted, so he wanted to say something nice first.

Ji Huai gave Ai Qiao a piece of meat. Seeing her worried look, he smiled and hugged the little guy over and whispered, "Eat some food."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Father Ai again, "Yes, I know some of the rules here."

When Father Ai heard this, it seemed that this boy had come with money. Who could raise a daughter for more than ten years without any hard work?

"Then get ready..."

"I'm ready." Ji Huai interrupted him and pointed at Xu Guojie, "I know our family brought their son-in-law to the house to buy something. They invited the whole village to come for tea and coffee. I asked Xiaojie to buy something."

"Well, everyone is eating here, can you just come here later? I'm just bothering Aunt Fang."

"It's no trouble, no trouble." Fang's mother also came over, "What's the trouble? Sooner or later we have to clean up, so let them come here, so as not to have to worry about it another day. It's going to be lively today."

"Dad, what do you think?" Ji Huai asked Ai's father for his opinion.

Father Ai was not thinking about this matter at all, and responded perfunctorily, "This kind of thing is done the same everywhere."

The main thing is money. He needs money to settle the marriage between Zhang Jun and his youngest son.

"Then it's at my house. There's no need to clean up the table after dinner. I'll boil some water then and I'll tell them to come over." Fang's mother couldn't stay idle either. She finished the meal quickly and went to set things up.

Father Ai finally brought up this topic, but it was easily dismissed. He ate his meal absentmindedly.

Zhang Jun was also anxious beside him.

Before coming, Li Chunyu gave many instructions to Ji Huai to get the bride price, and also kept cursing the outsider for taking all the things he bought to Fang's house.

"Besides this tea party, what else have you prepared?" There were many people there, and Father Ai was embarrassed to ask directly.

"What else should I prepare?" Ji Huai said, a little embarrassed, "We have been busy with the project recently and came back in a hurry. I asked them, but Xiaozhou and Xiaojie didn't understand very well."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but ask, "You work as a contractor over there, do you make much money?"

"What's the profit for a small project? It's only a few dozen dollars a day." Ji Huai stood up and poured wine for him and answered him casually.

"It's only nine yuan here on the construction site." Zhang Jun was very surprised when he heard dozens of yuan.

"That's because the labor force here is cheap. Brother Huai takes us there and we can earn thirty thirty a day, which is still a net profit." Fang Yizhou drank some wine, and since he was still young, he didn't hide it.

He said this with a raised voice.

In many places, the salary is only a few dozen yuan a month. Earning one hundred yuan a month is considered a high salary. He said thirty yuan a day, which really makes people surprised and jealous.

"It's being vigorously developed over there. Thirty yuan is not too high. When I go back during this period, it can rise to thirty-five yuan a day."

"Salaries are definitely increasing year by year."

Ji Huai held the little guy with one hand and spoke slowly.

"It will take a long time to develop, there is money to be made over there." Xu Guojie also said, drinking wine, and said to the group of young men, "It's prosperous over there, with high-rise buildings. It's much easier to make money than at home."

"You kid, you probably have a thousand yuan a month, right?" The young man sitting next to him patted him and sounded envious.

"No, I asked you to go with me before, but you said you would stay home and find a girl to get married." Xu Guojie took another sip of wine. People in big cities get married late, so what are you afraid of?"

Now that he is young and vigorous, and can earn so much money in a month, he is naturally not so steady in what he says and does.

Coupled with the effect of alcohol, there was a burst of bragging.

Zhang Jun's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Ji Huai, "Is there really such a shortage of people over there? I wanted to go there last time, but I was delayed."

"Zhang Jun, aren't you greedy for life and afraid of death? You are such an adult, but you are still afraid that others will sell you and say that you will stay at home and farm." Fang Yizhou unceremoniously exposed his background, making everyone laugh.

Zhang Jun's face turned pale for a while, and he suppressed a sentence, "I have figured it out now, can't I?"

"That's too far away." Father Ai ignored this and reminded him in a low voice. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun refused to let him speak and said to Ji Huai, "I also worked on the construction site. Next time you go back, I will follow you."

go."

He was used to being tough when dealing with Ai Qiao, so he didn't care about Ji Huai's opinion at all.

Ji Huai didn't refuse, he was very generous, "Brother is going, I will definitely take him with me without saying a word. We are all family members, and if you have money, we can make it together!"

Zhang Jun has always been lazy, and he inherited Li Chunyu's stinginess and penchant for making small calculations. When he heard that he could earn thousands a month, he became very excited.

What is he still doing at home?

"However, I have to think about it. I can earn a lot of money there, but it will definitely be hard to leave my hometown. We have children to raise, so we have no choice but to do so." Ji Huai said with great helplessness.

"There must be a price. I understand this without you having to tell me." Zhang Jun shouted, and everyone present heard it.

Ji Huai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and poured him a drink, "I'm just providing a way, I just need to think clearly."

To put it bluntly, whatever happens in the future, no matter what happens to me, you will be responsible for yourself.

"I must go. A grown man just wants to go out and see the world. Success or failure all depends on me." Zhang Jun heard what Fang Yizhou and the others said, and felt that there was gold everywhere. He also wanted to cut off the relationship with Ji Huai, so as not to

Later, when he became successful, people said that he succeeded because of Ji Huai.

Xu Guojie can make money, he will definitely make a fortune if he goes there!

Ai's father still wanted to talk about the bride price, but Zhang Jun scolded him directly, "Well, we are already married, why are we talking about other things? It's convenient."

What if Ji Huai is forced to take a gift of several thousand dollars and the other party doesn't take him?

It's stupid to lose a big thing because of a small thing!

Not only Ai's father was confused, but Li Chunyu was also confused when he came to Fang's house. He looked dissatisfied and looked at the table full of snacks and fruits. He felt extremely distressed and asked, "How can a tea party be held here? What are you doing!"

If it were at her house, half of these things could be hidden.

If you give her money to prepare, half of it can be deducted.

This Aiqiao looks so different from an outsider!

"Aunt Li, come in quickly. It's okay. There's enough room to sit here." Ji Huai misinterpreted her meaning and greeted with a smile, "Everyone is here, come in quickly."

Li Chunyu was very face-conscious, so when she saw that most of the men, women, and children in the village had come, she could only endure it.
