Chapter 273 Generous Dowry
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the Xiao family sent a car, and the Jiang family sent a car to drive towards Liuyin Street in Xicheng District.
Two army green jeeps parked at the gate of Shen Zhiwei's courtyard, attracting many neighbors to come out of the house to watch.
"This house has changed hands?"
"I didn't expect Uncle Zhang to actually sell it?"
"It was sold yesterday. I heard from Director Zhang of the street that the leader of the Foreign Affairs Department bought it."
"Their daughter is still studying at Tsinghua University."
"Such a family is really amazing..."
When the people in the car got off and saw Xiao Dayan and his guards, the neighbors became even more excited.
"That's General Xiao Dayan!"
"Hello, General Xiao!"
"Hello, comrades!" Xiao Dayan waved to them with a smile, and followed Xiao Zheng into the courtyard.
Shen Zhiwei took Zhang Hongying with one hand and Mu Qing with the other, "Grandmas, do you think this house is not bad?"
"That's right, your vision is very good. The Gaomen compound seems to be well maintained."
“The yard is quite spacious, clean and quiet, very suitable for family living.”
Zhang Hongying and Mu Qing were full of praise.
Shen Bai and his wife warmly greeted them, "The in-laws, grandparents are here!"
"We bought some bean curds and meat buns in the morning, and they are heating up in the pot. Let's have breakfast together."
Xiao Dayan smiled amiably, "Wei Wei's parents, we have already eaten at home, you go and eat, family, don't entertain us deliberately."
Mu Qing said gratefully: "You helped the child buy a house yesterday, you bothered."
"It's all their own decision, and we haven't been of much help." Shen Bai and his wife told the truth.
"Hey, that's different. With parents around, they have confidence in their hearts."
Xiao Dayan and his wife rationally want to credit this credit to Shen Bai and his wife.
Shen Zhiwei said: "Mom and Dad, hurry up and have breakfast, we have to go shopping in Wangfujing Department Store later, right?"
"Okay, then you first accompany your grandparents to look at the house."
Shen Bai and his wife went into the kitchen to have breakfast, both of them felt much more relaxed.
I thought the Xiao family would be surprised to see the two of them living in first, but they didn't expect their expressions to be very natural.
It seems that the daughter and son-in-law have already greeted the elders in advance, they are really sensible and caring.
Although it is a new society, living in the son-in-law's house, I always feel a little sorry. They discussed last night that they would move out after the unit's house was allocated.
Shen Zhiwei took Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Jiang to look around the rooms and yard of the Sanjin Hospital.
The house is clean, the environment is quiet, there are rockery pools, and the planting of flowers, plants and fruit trees is also patchwork.
The elders appreciate it more and more.
"It's a good deal for you to buy this yard for four thousand and five. In the past, this was the residence of a first-rank official."
Xiao Zheng said: "This is the house that Weiwei's parents asked the street office to help find. If it wasn't for their help, we might not have been able to find the seller."
Based on the principle of elevating his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he will definitely satisfy his daughter-in-law, and once again mentioned the contributions of Shen Bai and his wife.
Sure enough, Shen Zhiwei secretly praised Xiao Zheng.
A good man doesn't need training.
Xiao Dayan nodded, "Weiwei's parents are prudent, so that's great. With the witness of the street office, the procedures for buying a house are complete."
He added a little more appreciation for Shen Bai and his wife.
Shen Zhiwei said obediently: "Grandpa and grandma, there are three east and west rooms in the second entrance courtyard. We will sort out which room you like, and you can live in it next time you come."
"You young couple live in the second courtyard, so you can arrange a room for us in the third courtyard. During the holidays, we can come and have fun with you."
Xiao Dayan thought about coming to have a gathering during the holidays, so that his grandson and daughter-in-law would not have to run around.
"Well, we will arrange a bedroom for you in the third courtyard. There are several rooms here. When the second uncle and sister-in-law come back, we can live there."
This was discussed between Shen Zhiwei and Xiao Zheng yesterday.
There are many rooms in this house, and a few guest rooms are arranged to entertain guests when they come.
The grandson's daughter-in-law thought so thoroughly, and the old couple were very satisfied.
"Wei Wei, your uncle and aunt, both of them work outside, and they only come back during the Chinese New Year. If you come to your place as guests, just make simple preparations, and don't need to make elaborate arrangements."
Xiao Zheng's second uncle, Xiao Wencheng, served as the commander of the navy.
Aunt Xiao Ling and her husband serve in the Air Force.
He is busy with military affairs, so he can only occasionally go back to Beijing to visit his parents.
However, on the day of Xiao Zheng and Shen Zhiwei's engagement banquet, they will all come back.
Shen Zhiwei said to Zhang Hongying again: "Grandma Jiang, I will also arrange a room for you here. If you are free, you and Grandpa Jiang can come and live together."
Zhang Hongying said cheerfully, "Okay, I will come and experience this courtyard house with Mu Qing when I have time."
Although it is not necessary to come and live, it is the essentials of the younger generation's mind.
Shen Bai and his wife finished breakfast in a hurry, prepared money and tickets, and took Shen Zhiwei to buy a dowry.
Xiao Dayan and his wife said to Zhang Hongying, "Let's go together. Come here today. Apart from looking at the house, we will buy household items for the young couple."
So, the three families went shopping together at the nearby Wangfujing Department Store.
With money and tickets, the elders of the three families are richer than the other in shopping.
Zhang Hongying said: "I'm here to buy Weiwei's dowry on behalf of the Jiang family this time. Don't be polite to us as much as you want."
So, six sets of beds were bought, three sets of new clothes for Shen Zhiwei and three sets for Xiao Zheng, leather shoes and socks were bought as a set.
Two suitcases and a sofa, these are rare items in this era.
I added several kettles, teacups, towels, bowls and chopsticks, washbasins, footbaths, buckets...
Shen Bai and his wife couldn't match the generosity of their hands.
Wei Wei recognizes her grandparents, they are so close!
Shen Bai and his wife also bought two sets of clothes for their daughter and son-in-law, and bought mosquito nets, quilt covers, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, mirrors, window stickers, etc.
Xiao Dayan and his wife also added a few items.
If you have a car, you can buy something and send it back to the house.
There are a lot of things, and they have to be divided several times before they are all shipped back.
After the purchases came back, the elders were busy arranging new houses for them, window stickers, and bed quilts.
It was lively and lively, and the whole yard had a festive atmosphere of marriage.
The elders were very busy, and the two younger generations couldn't get their hands on it.
After the wedding room was newly furnished, Mu Qing pulled Shen Zhiwei and asked, "Weiwei, what else do you want, grandparents will buy it for you."
"Grandma, there's no need to add any more, these are enough."
Shen Zhiwei is already satisfied, there is nothing missing in her space, but it is not suitable for this age.
"Hey, marriage is a big event, don't let it go, we can't afford to lose what others have." Mu Qing added, "Watches, radios, bicycles, and sewing machines have already been booked, and they won't arrive in two days. Send it right here."
What a surprise.
"Thank you grandma and grandma."
Shen Zhiwei was happy and shy.
I'm really going to get married!
She turned her head to look at Xiao Zheng, who was also looking at her happily.
When the elders were discussing the engagement banquet, Xiao Zheng pointed to Shen Zhiwei outside, and then stepped out first, to the study next door.
Is this something to discuss?
Shen Zhiwei entered the study and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Zheng took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it to her, and said mysteriously: "Daughter-in-law, take a look at what this is?"
Shen Zhiwei unfolded it and saw that it was a certificate in the form of a certificate of merit, with three large characters "marriage certificate" written in the middle.
