Chapter 1272: Three Turns and One Ring, the Issue of Dowry
Although it is already afternoon, there is still a constant stream of people visiting the zoo.

Su Mingzhe and Han Chunyan bought tickets and followed the crowd.

What everyone likes to watch most are the land beasts such as tigers, lions, and bears.

Han Chunyan took a look and felt a little scared.

When the huge lion head turned around and they looked at each other, she was so scared that she quickly pulled the man forward.

After passing the wild animal area and walking north, you will see amphibians such as crocodiles and hippos.

Because there was no aesthetic sense, Han Chunyan pulled the man forward, turned a semicircle, and came to the rare birds.

There are many precious birds with various colorful feathers here.

Han Chunyan couldn't name these beautiful rare birds, and was reluctant to take photos with the man.

After a walk around, Han Chunyan arrived at the most popular golden monkey area.

Two golden monkeys with shiny fur were jumping sideways, vertically, rolling and bouncing around, and were very active.

Seeing that Han Chunyan was particularly happy, Su Mingzhe took out two bananas from his backpack and asked her to feed the cat.

After touching the golden monkey at close range, Han Chunyan and the man left reluctantly.

We visited a few more parks and before we knew it, it was already past five o'clock.

Seeing that the park was about to close, the two of them followed the crowd and left the zoo.

Just outside the zoo, the two bought some snacks and ate while walking to the bus stop.

After another hour's bus ride, the two finally returned to Qianmenlouzi after the sun had set.

Seeing that the entrance to the alley where the Han family lived was just a few steps away, Su Mingzhe held on to Han Chunyan, unwilling to let go.

"Anything else?"

Although Han Chunyan didn't understand why, she didn't pull her hands away and let the man pinch her silently.

"Nothing, I just wanted to stay with you for a while longer!"

After returning to the rental house, Su Mingzhe was alone and unable to sleep, so naturally he was unwilling to let the woman leave so quickly.

Han Chunyan is 24 years old now and is not a little girl who knows nothing.

Looking at the shining look in the man's eyes, Han Chunyan knew that if she didn't give the man some sweetness, he would definitely not let her go.

After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, Han Chunyan took the initiative to lie in the man's arms and let him do whatever he wanted for a while.

The two hugged for a while, and Han Chunyan suddenly remembered something, raised her head and asked:
"Mingzhe, the Dragon Boat Festival is only two months away. How are your preparations for the three turns and one ring, as well as the betrothal gifts?"

Su Mingzhe was enjoying himself, but when he heard the woman's question, he felt a little disappointed. However, he had to answer, so he reorganized his thoughts and started to speak:
"The betrothal gifts and the money for the three-turn and one-ring are all ready. I've also got the tickets for the bicycle and the sewing machine. Now I'm still short of two tickets for watches and a radio! But these are not problems. I can get them done in a month at the latest! The only problem now is finding a good house. The place I live in now is too shabby..."

Before liberation, the Su family was a wealthy businessman. Su's father and mother died of illness, but because they died early, they did not suffer much.

The back house where Su Mingzhe lives now was rented from the street office for five yuan.

If he lived alone, Su Mingzhe wouldn't care about the environment.

But if we want to get married, the house is too small and cramped.

"There's no rush about the house!"

When Han Chunyan heard that there was no house to live in, she said indifferently:

"We can get married first, and as for the housing issue, we can look for one slowly after we get married..."

Now Han Chunyan wants to marry the man as soon as possible to avoid any accident between them.

"Chunyan, you are so nice——"

Su Mingzhe knew that he had found a good woman, so he immediately reached out and held her in his arms again. He lowered his head and breathed in a sweet breath before slowly releasing his hands:

"It's getting late, let me take you home!"

Since the woman was a good woman, Su Mingzhe didn't want her to suffer with him. After the two separated, Su Mingzhe immediately returned to the rental house and continued to write novels to make money.

On the other side, Han Chunyan hummed a cheerful tune and returned to Old Han's house, where she saw her mother and brother standing at the door, talking about something.

Han Chunming had sharp eyes. When he saw Han Chunyan enter the yard, he immediately said:

"Mom, look, isn't my sister back safe and sound?"

Mother Han glared at her son unhappily, then reached out and pulled her daughter over to check. Not finding anything abnormal, she couldn't help but worry:

"Yanzi, why did you come back so late today? I was about to ask Xiao Wuzi to go out and look for you..."

Without waiting for Han Chunyan to answer, Han Chunming immediately followed up with a playful smile:
"More than just going out to look for her, my mom just wanted me to call the police!"

Han Chunyan saw that her mother was indeed a little anxious, and she felt touched and amused.
"Mom, didn't I say hello to you before I left? Su Mingzhe and I are going to the zoo. It takes more than two hours to go back and forth by car!"

"You can't come back so late! It's already dark..."

Mother Han wanted to say something else, but Han Chunming interrupted with a smile:

"Second sister, actually mom is not worried that you will be lost, but afraid that you will be kidnapped by Su Mingzhe!"

A few years ago, the authorities called for each family to keep only one child, and the rest of the young students should go to the countryside to learn from the farmers.

It was at that time that Han Chunyan and her second brother Han Chunsheng responded to the call and went to the countryside to work as educated youth for a few years.

Because they spent too much time in the countryside, Han Chunyan and Han Chunsheng's marriage was delayed.

Now Han Chunsheng has become a 26-year-old single man, and Han Chunyan has become a 24-year-old single woman.

As a girl, Han Chunyan has no worries about the blind date market.

After all, she is not only good-looking, but also has a diploma and a job, so she doesn't have to worry about finding a partner at all.

But Han Chunsheng was in big trouble.

As a 26-year-old bachelor, working as a porter in the coolest and most tiring cement factory, I work from dawn to dusk every day, but I don't earn much money.

Plus, he wasn't good-looking and couldn't talk much. After a few blind dates, the girl always asked for "three turns and one ring" and a betrothal gift of several dozen yuan.

The bride price is easy to deal with, but the problem is that it is too difficult to get three turns and one ring.

There was a bicycle for each man and woman, two watches, a sewing machine and a radio.

The total price of these items is more than 700 yuan.

In addition, valuable industrial tickets are required.

The Han family's financial situation is average, and they simply can't afford so much at once.

After much thought, Han's mother decided to focus on the dowry for her second daughter!
It was for this reason that Han Chunming joked that Han's mother was afraid that Han Chunyan would be abducted by Su Mingzhe.

Mother Han was so angry that she slapped her son on the head:
"You brat, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that Han's mother neither admitted nor denied it, Han Chunyan felt exhausted and finally spoke:

"Mom, Mingzhe has already prepared everything, but he hasn't found a good house yet. As soon as he finds a house, he will find a matchmaker to come and give the betrothal gift..."

"That's good, that's good!"

Han's mother is not the type of person who despises the poor and loves the rich.

It’s just that people are poor and have low aspirations!

There are still two sons in the family who are not married yet. She is really helpless and can only set her sights on her second daughter.

Han Chunyan was very clear about the situation at home, so she didn't say anything.

Anyway, the man has already said that he has prepared almost all the conditions that were agreed upon when they got engaged, and now the only thing missing is a good house.

Han Chunyan doesn't care about the house at all. Even if she marries Su Mingzhe and lives in his rental house, she is willing to do so.
