chapter3

So at that time, I felt very guilty about her.”

However, in the memory that Ji Xianglan received after transmigrating, Song Cheng’s father did not just say one word of dissatisfaction. He was extremely dissatisfied with Ji Xianglan and completely did not agree to the marriage.

From the beginning of the engagement, Song Cheng’s father did not even want to spend 6 yuan on the dowry.

One was that he was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Two was that because the other party insisted on marrying her, naturally there was no such price.

He even said this to her when she came to find Song Cheng: “The engagement is just a formality. If not, then don’t worry, we have agreed to your relationship anyway.”

Ji Xianglan in her memory did not hear Song Cheng’s father’s hidden meaning at all. He wanted to get the dowry back, but was afraid that the Ji family would not pay, so he definitely did not hold the engagement.

He was a third-grade lathe worker in a state-owned factory and earned 48 yuan a month, 6 yuan was a large sum of money to him.

Song Cheng felt that this was too unfair to Ji Xianglan. In this relationship, Ji Xianglan had already paid a higher price. He did not agree with his father's way of doing things, so in the end, he could only ask for more than 1 yuan to buy two kilograms of hard candy to bring home.

The money he saved was all used to buy foreign books, so he basically had no extra money to spend on the engagement, and could only rely on his father.

Song Cheng's family background was normal, it could not be said to be poor but it could not be considered rich either, at most he could only be considered an honest person from a technical family, and was assigned to a tube house next to a red brick building.

In this era, the most respected people were those who came from the military housing, followed by those who could live in tube houses.

Therefore, the children of those who worked in large factories considered themselves superior to the people in the city. Not to mention compared to the villagers, every New Year they would bring honeycomb coal back to their hometowns, even honeycomb coal slag seemed to be more valuable than firewood ash in the countryside.

Song Cheng's father thought that his son was no less than ordinary people, every family in the alley that saw him had to call him "Teacher Song".

Having the skills in this era was enough to support half the sky, no one else could compare.

On the day of the engagement, the two families exchanged simple dowry, Ji Jinghe did not mind that the Song family only brought hard candy to their house. On the contrary, she also brought them two catties of high-grade food, Guizhou Maotai wine.

Song Cheng's father was a knowledgeable person, this famous wine was only provided to foreign customers at a negotiated price, and the price was as high as 16 yuan per catty.

At this point, the marriage between the two parties had been decided.

Before Ji Xianglan could think carefully about the parts of the book that mentioned her plot, she heard an urgent knock on the door from downstairs.

"Someone inside! Open the door!"

The house that Ji Xianglan was currently living in was her family's old house in Jiangxinlu District, all of which were self-built houses with a total of two floors and a basement.

She was on the second floor of the house, and the person who came was calling out loudly.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Quickly open the door! We are the provisional committee of the people's commune, we have come to investigate the matter!"

"Quickly open the door!!"

Ji Xianglan was startled by this familiar line...

Wasn't this the time when trouble started?

According to the plot of the book, something big is about to happen - Ji Jinghe is about to be arrested for interrogation, then he and her mother are both sent to Heitun Farm in Dongcheng for labor reform. She is also forced to go to the countryside.
