Chapter 962: Chapter 959: You’re Right; I Support You
The woolen coat, cashmere scarf, pants, and suede shoes given to Yan Rou were all prizes drawn by Kang Li from System Dwen Dwen earlier, or more accurately, part of a gift package inventory.
In other words, Kang Li specifically chose that outfit for Yan Rou so she could dress beautifully on her wedding day and be a happy bride.
Youth Educated Institute.
"Are all the clothes for tomorrow prepared?"
Huang Zhiqing slept in Yan Rou’s dorm tonight, both to keep her company and to send her off as her family in the morning.
Upon hearing this, Yan Rou softly replied, "Mm."
"I’ve been wanting to ask you these past few days, but I felt it would be too presumptuous. Still, after much thought, I decided to ask: How much bride price did the Team Leader’s House give you?"
As Huang Zhiqing spoke, seeing that Yan Rou was silent, she quickly explained, "It’s not that I’m being nosy, but where I come from, a generous bride price signifies that the husband’s family values their incoming daughter-in-law."
Yan Rou smiled slightly, "I understand what you mean, Sister Huang. The bride price was five hundred, plus a ladies’ watch."
"..."
For a moment, Huang Zhiqing was stunned, then looked at her with envy, "It’s like they gave you the complete ’three rings and a sound’ set! It seems the Team Leader’s House truly likes you, their incoming daughter-in-law.
You know, marrying a wife in the countryside is not the same as in the city. Given the current situation, the bride price from an average farm family is usually seventy, eighty, or about a hundred yuan, rarely exceeding two hundred, and it’s also rare to get a complete ’three rings and a sound’. However, the bride price from town folks could be higher."
Yan Rou: "I won’t spend the bride price money recklessly; I’ll take it as a dowry to the Kang Family."
"The Team Leader certainly wouldn’t care for your bride price money. Just think about it, Kang Li alone passing the national science exam brought the provincial, municipal, county education leaders and the commune and town school rewards of a full five thousand yuan. Plus, Kang Yiyang’s second, fourth, and fifth uncles are supporting the family; the five hundred bride price given to you won’t exhaust their savings."
Huang Zhiqing spoke teasingly.
Yan Rou: "No matter how the Team Leader’s House is, by the rules, I must bring a dowry when I get married."
"You’re right about this, and I support you."
Patting Yan Rou’s hand, Huang Zhiqing suddenly asked, "Did you write to your family about your wedding?"
Yan Rou shook her head, "I’ll tell my father when I see him later. As for my mother... even if I tell her, she won’t reply."
Huang Zhiqing opened her mouth, wanting to ask more, but seeing Yan Rou was unwilling to elaborate, she swallowed her words and instead asked, "What about Wang Qin... do you want to call her tomorrow morning?"
Yan Rou nodded, "Mm."
Huang Zhiqing continued, "Did you notify the male educated youth?"
Yan Rou once again replied, "Mm."
"That’s good."
Relaxed, Huang Zhiqing pulled the lamp cord, "Let’s sleep; we need to get up early tomorrow!"
Early the next morning, surrounded by his brothers and cousins, Kang Yihong arrived at the Youth Educated Institute to welcome the bride, while the remaining educated youth there acted as Yan Rou’s family to send her off.
Just as the couple was about to bow to Captain Kang and his wife, and Big Brother Kang and Elder sister-in-law Kang, Second Brother Kang, Kang Guosheng, and his family, along with Kang Yichen, walked through the courtyard gate.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the house became even more lively.
About half an hour later, a middle-aged man with graying hair, roughly six feet tall, slender, and wearing a mid-length black woolen coat, entered Aoli Village accompanied by two young men.
