Chapter 198 - 0198: The Eve of the Wedding 2_1

"Mum, wouldn’t that be inappropriate? If you gift a quilt with both the cover and insides provided, and Qingxue’s aunt has already gifted one, and we add this one on top, won’t that make a total of three quilts? Shouldn’t they come in pairs?" Ma Haiyan, Auntie Feng’s daughter-in-law, hesitated a little. However, the corduroy fabric for the quilt cover was far superior to the coarse cotton one with big flowers that her mother-in-law had given, thus appearing much more grand.

"Didn’t leader Lu Jiang also give a towel quilt? A towel quilt is still a quilt!"

Hearing her say this, the person in charge of making the quilt nodded in agreement, said okay, spread the cotton evenly, layered it with the cotton batting, then covered it with the quilt cover. Once it was smoothed, they started to sew.

Feng Qingxue tidied up her things and started working on her red shirt.

The shirt’s style was similar to the current trend, with a slight inward curve at the waist.

Just a little bit; if it were too pronounced, it would reveal the body’s contour and people would scold her for being immodest.

Many hands make light work, so the quilt was quickly finished. Folded neatly, it was stacked on Feng Qingxue’s bed, inciting admiration from the onlookers who all said they didn’t even have a new quilt when they got married.

Feng Qingxue gave a slight smile, "Isn’t life supposed to get better with time? If it weren’t for everyone’s help, where would these belongings come from?"

"Exactly, life should get better. Who knows, my daughter might have ten or eight quilts when she leaves home!"

Everyone laughed and joked around until Wang Fengqiao and Wang Zhengguo came with the betrothal gifts the next morning.

Actually, the sequence was a bit wrong. Normally, the bride price would be given before setting the wedding date. However, currently, people are not picky and even the process of giving the bride price has been simplified, let alone if it’s only given two days before the wedding.

Hearing that the Lu Family had given their betrothal gifts, many people came out to watch the excitement.

Goodness me!

A sewing machine and a bicycle were tied to the mule cart, adorned with big red flowers.

A Butterfly brand sewing machine and a Flying Pigeon brand bicycle.

Brand new, sparkling clean, radiating an incredibly brilliant light, making everyone present green with envy!

Especially the women who were envious of Feng Qingxue’s four quilts yesterday, their eyeballs seemed like they were going to pop out of their sockets. Compared to what was before them now, what were a few new quilts?

"Three revolutions and a buzz, this is two revolutions! Only a watch and a radio are missing!"

"I often hear from those who have been to the city that some people ask for ’three revolutions and a buzz’ when getting married, I didn’t expect Lu Family would actually give ’two revolutions’!"

"So generous, indeed a camel in its last gasp is still bigger than a horse!"

"You can’t say that, the entire Lu Family was impoverished, who doesn’t know that? The fact that the Lu Family can afford such a bride price is entirely due to Lu Jiang’s credit, didn’t they say he made great contributions on the battlefield? He’s not even fully recovered yet!"

"Yes, yes, there’s even a soldier from the Liberation Army taking care of Lu Jiang, clearly shows that Lu Jiang made contributions, and will soon be promoted."

"Xue girl is truly lucky, people used to say that the two families were not equally matched, but seeing such a betrothal gift, even if they’re not equally matched, I wouldn’t care! Having a good class status can’t buy ’three revolutions and a buzz’!"

Uncle and Auntie Feng were also taken aback, they quickly went to greet the elders of the clan.

"Xiaoxue’s uncle, are these the betrothal gifts from Lu Family?"

Hearing Uncle Feng’s question, Wang Zhengguo laughed heartily, deliberately raised his voice and said, "Upon hearing that Lu Jiang was getting married, his friends from work in the city went to great lengths to get a sewing machine ticket and a bicycle ticket. Lu Jiang didn’t spend any of his recent wages, he just took out some money and asked me to haul these two large items from the city!"
