Chapter 101
Before Luo Xiaobai could warm his butt, Niu Hang came over with a sack.
"It's all here. Take a look. I've already negotiated the price with Professor Miao." Niu Hang opened the sack, and there were hundreds of catties of bone fossils inside.
Luo Xiaobai grabbed a handful, and these fossils all looked similar.
"Brother Chu, take a look." With that said, Luo Xiaobai handed the fossil in his hand to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng picked up a few pieces and studied them, "It should be the skeleton fossil of an elephant, the bone is crispy, and it is indeed the best five-flowered keel.
"
"Can you pour it out and take a look?" Luo Xiaobai said to Niu Hang, it's definitely not enough to just look at the top, he wants to check whether the bottom is the same as the top keel.
"Yes." Niu Hang spread a few newspapers on the ground, and then poured out all the keel in the sack.
After confirming that there is no problem, Luo Xiaobai signaled Niu Hang to pack it up, "It's 3 yuan in total, please count it."
After reinstalling the keel and fastening the bag, Niu Hang clapped his hands and took the money from Luo Xiaobai, counted it and said: "It's just right
"
〇
Luo Xiaobai smiled slightly, "Then we won't disturb Brother Niu."
"Okay, I'll take you out." Seeing their small bodies, Niu Hang took the initiative to help pick up the keel and put it in their car.Saying goodbye to Niu Hang, Luo Xiaobai glanced at the time, it was already past noon, but the two of them hadn't eaten yet.
"Brother Chu, let me treat you to dinner." Luo Xiaobai said while driving.
Although the meal was neither too late nor too late, Chu Feng still complied. It was rare for him and Luo Xiaobai to have a meal alone, so naturally he would not refuse.
"What does Brother Chu like to eat, Western food or Chinese food?" Luo Xiaobai asked.
Chu Feng thought for a while, "It's better to eat Chinese food, I'm not used to food from other countries."
"Okay, then let's eat Chinese food. In fact, I don't like food from other countries, especially Vietnamese food. Although it is hot and sour, I always feel that the taste is not right."
The two chatted and returned to the urban area. Luo Xiaobai found a decent hotel near Professor Miao's house.
"Two, please come inside." Seeing that Luo Xiaobai and Chu Feng came by car, the receptionist at the door was very enthusiastic.
"Is there a private room?" Luo Xiaobai asked casually, although there was no one in the hall.
"Yes, may I ask if there are only two of you?" The waiter who came over asked.
"Yeah." Luo Xiaobai nodded.
"Upstairs please, two guests from the Green Bamboo Pavilion on the second floor!" The waiter yelled over and over as he led the way.
Luo Xiaobai and Chu Feng followed the waiter to the private room. The environment inside was very good. Looking at the three pots of asparagus bamboo placed on the window sill, Luo Xiaobai thought to himself that the name of the private room is not based on this, right?
"Here's the menu, let's take a look first." The waiter politely handed over the menu and went to prepare tea and towels.
Luo Xiaobai unfolded the menu and asked about Chu Feng's taste.
"I like light food." Chu Feng said.
Luo Xiaobai looked at Chu Feng sympathetically, waited for the waiter to come in and began to order, including his favorite spicy chicken, and the light cuisine that Chu Feng wanted.
After ordering, Luo Xiaobai asked, "Brother Chu, would you like some drink?"
Knowing that Luo Xiaobai doesn't drink, Chu Feng didn't ask for wine either, "Clean tea is fine."
Luo Xiaobai grinned, "Then don't drink."
"Huh?" Just as the waiter was going out with the menu, Luo Xiaobai saw an acquaintance through the crack of the door.
"Know?" Chu Feng also saw the passing guests outside the door.
Luo Xiaobai nodded, "It's my third uncle's family, I didn't expect them to come here for dinner." It should be the in-laws, but the cousin's face is not very good.
"They are in the private room next to us." Chu Feng pointed to the partition wall, because the hotel's sound insulation is limited, as long as they speak loudly over there, they can hear them.
"It doesn't matter, it's none of our business anyway." Luo Xiaobai poured a cup of tea for Chu Feng.
Soon, the waiter brought up the dishes one by one.
There were no outsiders, and Luo Xiaobai didn't pretend to eat it slowly, he grabbed the chicken nuggets and started eating.
Chu Feng's eyes became more gentle, and he ate vegetables and tofu with relish.
"We only heard that the man needs to get a dowry, but we haven't heard that the woman's dowry needs to be half of the dowry!"
Just as Luo Xiaobai was gnawing on the chicken bones, he heard the third aunt's loud voice.
"Half is considered less, don't you marry your daughter without giving anything?" Another thin female voice came, with obvious meanness and contempt in the voice.
"We can't take it out." Luo Chao's deep voice came.
The other party's voice was very steady, "Then our historians can't come up with the number you want."
"Do you want to marry my daughter without spending a penny!" Luo Chao's voice was a little annoyed.
"It's not that we don't spend money, but that you can't afford it." The other party was obviously aggressive.
Luo Xiaobai spat out the chicken bone, frowning tightly.
Chu Feng also put down his chopsticks. Obviously, he was very shameless towards the man. It is okay for the man to make demands, but it would be wrong to force the woman like this.
"The child's father, why don't we make it together." In the end, the third aunt still felt sorry for her daughter, and didn't want her to lose face by marrying her.
Luo Chao's voice was very low, faintly reaching Luo Xiaobai's ears, "5000 yuan, where can we get it!"
It turned out that the bride price given by the man was 1 yuan.
For now, 1 yuan is indeed a lot of money, and it is a [-]-yuan household.
"My mother-in-law is right, it's not that we want the money, it's all for the children." The man's mother played the emotional card.
"That's right, uncle and aunt, the money will belong to me and Qingqing from now on." This time it should be Shi Lin, Luo Qingqing's son, who spoke this time.
friend.
Luo Qingqing did not speak from the beginning to the end, but Luo Xiaobai could feel the helplessness and heartbreak of her cousin.
In fact, Luo Qingqing is still very simple. She doesn't understand the world, nor does she know that marriage is so complicated.
"In our village, the man pays the dowry. Marry a daughter, marry a daughter, and the daughter is married to you, so what dowry is needed, not to mention that the dowry is voluntarily paid by the woman. I have never heard that it must be half of the man's dowry." Three The aunt sighed and said.
"You also said that this is a custom in your village. Some time ago when Shi Lin's father attended the wedding, the dowry offered by the woman was several times that of the man. Our family's requirements are already low enough. If it weren't for the two children If you love each other, you won't agree easily." Shi Lin's mother said emphatically.
Thinking of the historian's conditions, Luo Chao's family was speechless.
Luo Xiaobai dropped his chopsticks, stood up abruptly, and pushed open the door of the Green Bamboo Pavilion to go out.
Knowing this would happen, Chu Feng smiled and shook his head, and followed.
"Our Luo family is not busy. Now it's not whether you agree to accept Qingqing, but whether we consider marrying Qingqing to your family!" Luo Xiaobai broke into the private room next door and said loudly.
Seeing the person who appeared suddenly, the Shi family was shocked. Could it be that the other party came to snatch the marriage?
Luo Chao's family was also very surprised, only to see Luo Qingqing suddenly stood up, "Xiaobai, why are you here?"
Luo Chao stabilized his mood, got up and introduced to the Shi family: "This is Qingqing's cousin, the child of my second brother's family, Luo Xiaobai."
When they heard that they were relatives, the Shi family breathed a sigh of relief, especially Shi Lin, because Luo Xiaobai was better than him in terms of appearance and temperament.
Strong.
"Third Uncle, I was eating with my friends next to me. I didn't expect you to come here too. I heard your conversation just now, so I couldn't help but come over and say a few words." Luo Xiaobai said standing beside Luo Chao.
Luo Chao nodded. In fact, he was quite upset. He was very relieved when he heard what Xiaobai said just now.
However, the marriage had to be discussed, so he could only suppress his anger again, "Don't mind the kid talking impulsively, we really can't get 5000 yuan, but it's shameless for the man not to give the bride price."
"I think this child is quite right. It's not that my family, Shi Lin, can't find a girlfriend. Why don't you think about it for a while." Shi Lin's mother looked down on others.
Luo Xiaobai took a deep breath, but before he could speak, Luo Qingqing asked suddenly: "Shi Lin, do you think so too?"
Shi Lin stood up and looked at Luo Qingqing with a troubled expression, "I can't decide things like marriage on my own."
"It seems that the love in your mouth is nothing more than that." Luo Qingqing was indescribably disappointed, maybe if Luo Xiaobai didn't come, her parents would compromise sooner or later, but she didn't want this kind of compromise marriage.
"Qingqing, I won't hide it from you. My family needs some money to expand the store now. If you can come up with a dowry of 5000 yuan, we will get married immediately, and the gift money will definitely be enough." Shi Lin said to Luo Qingqing very seriously.
Luo Qingqing's heart was even colder. She didn't expect the other party to include the gift money, so he suddenly proposed marriage just to expand the store
"Shi Lin, let's break up!" Luo Qingqing said with red eyes. She was still wondering why Shi Lin suddenly proposed marriage. She thought that the other party couldn't wait to start a family with her, but everything turned out to be for another purpose.
"Qingqing, think about it. It's hard to find a man with my qualifications. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't pick you for marriage." Shi Lin frowned.
Luo Qingqing was taken aback, "What do you mean picking me for marriage?"
At this moment, Shi Lin's mother raised her voice and said, "You are not the only girlfriend in our family, Shi Lin, it is your good fortune that he chose you!" "Bang!" Other girlfriends?"
Shi Lin glared at his mother, but did not refute.
What else does the Luo family not know, it turns out that Qingqing found a big carrot!
"Xiaobai, do you need help?" A cold voice sounded suddenly.
At this tense moment, this voice was like a clear stream, dispelling the anger in everyone's hearts.
"Brother Chu, no need, it's already been resolved." Luo Xiaobai said calmly, "My cousin is not bad looking, and I can't find any boyfriend like Shijia, we really can't afford it."
Hearing Luo Xiaobai's mocking words, the Shi family gritted their teeth angrily. If this person didn't break in suddenly, sooner or later they would ask Luo Qingqing to come up with a dowry of 5000 yuan.
"Just like Luo Qingqing, if you catch her on the street, you really think she is some kind of fairy!" Shi Lin showed a disgusted face. If he hadn't been unable to win Luo Qingqing, he would not have chosen her to marry. It's easy to control, even if he is married, he can still keep the red flag at home, and the colorful flags are fluttering outside, but the other party is so ignorant!
