Yang Shuhui waved her hand, "This is enough time!"
What's enough? Jin Yin said, "Today is August 8th, and people also say it is the 15th day of the Gregorian calendar. There is only a week in between."
Seven days! Oh! This is too tight.
But no matter how tight you are, you have to hurry up and do it. "The fourth child's house has to be tidied up. There is no time to make the cabinets, so just buy a ready-made one. The kang needs to be dismantled and I need to buy a double bed..."
No! Keep the kang, go back and pull some bricks back, build the stove, and use the kang and the stove to keep warm in the winter. Other furniture is necessary, but the double bed is very unnecessary.
But this is popular in the city now! "How about asking your wife what style she likes?"
She likes everything I say and does as I say.
Yang Shuhui looked at her son for a few times. You can't brag about this! It's okay to listen to your wife, really! We have to spend enough money at once. Don't spend a lot when the time comes, your wife won't like it, we
Still have to change!
The fourth master could only say, "I told you on the way back today that I don't think the bed can be heated in winter! She is not cold-resistant."
Oh! So, let’s have a kang, “but the earthen kang is made of dirt and is dirty.”
Jinyin said, "Pull some cement, put another layer on the floor and under the walls, and change the kang to a floor kang. It is better than the adobe kang. It is definitely cleaner than the adobe kang, and it will dry better. It will be completely dry after a few days of burning."
"
That’s it!
Yang Shuqin asked her son, "Ask Fang Suo to be the matchmaker to propose marriage. How can I give this gift?"
Forget about the betrothal gift! The fourth master said, "Put the betrothal gift you prepared into the red envelope and I will deliver it to you personally! Otherwise, the Lin family may not accept it."
Yes! They will definitely say that the impact is not good. Then it is better to hand it over in the name of the two children and ask the daughter-in-law to watch and buy things.
How much is too much? How much is too little?
Nowadays, it is only a few dozen yuan, and few are more than 80 yuan. A hundred yuan is enough to marry a wife for one son. For the three sons of my family, I have prepared 400 yuan and have not touched it. What should I do now?
How much is appropriate?
Jinyin said: "Take two hundred and ask Lao Si to send it over."
If you think about it this way, if you clean up the house, buy furniture, and buy a set of things for the wedding, I'm afraid you can't afford three hundred. The wedding of the eldest and the second child is just around the corner, and you don't go to work anymore, what are we going to do with it?
Money for the two eldest sons to start a family?
Jin Yin said, "Some drivers at the county station are looking for replacement drivers. I can still work for a few years, so I can go over and replace them."
Some people have trouble getting out of the car, and drivers are still in short supply, especially experienced drivers. If they can't get away, the people in the commune won't be able to get to the county seat, which is also a problem! There is a substitute, and I will take his place today.
, I will work as a substitute tomorrow. I won’t say that I will have work every day, but I will have work for at least half a month. With this kind of income, I can barely save the extra money.
The couple discussed it behind each other's backs, but in the end they gave the fourth master two hundred.
But Wu Xiuzhen didn't keep any of the 200 yuan she took over. All she took were ten-yuan notes. Wu Xiuzhen took 30 yuan and said, "It's okay if you have some intention. I've received it sincerely. I won't take more than that."
The fourth master then asked: "What else do you want? Just ask, and we will definitely do whatever we can."
What can you ask for? Nowadays, any request is empty. Wu Xiuzhen said, "Live a good life! People, they have been ignorant for a few years. Now that they are married, they will be adults. They must be sensible and behave well."
Life. In rural areas, there are quite some opinions on divorce, but in the city it is nothing. If you live a good life, that’s it. If your life is not good, I don’t mind my daughter’s divorce. "
Definitely still worried!
It can be said that the Lin family did not ask for anything. Looking at the one hundred and seventy yuan that was returned, Yang Shuqin didn't know what to do. What did she do in the end? It was still the same money, and she added another ten yuan to an acquaintance.
Thanks to some connections, I just bought a bicycle, and I didn’t even mention it as a gift to the Lin family. Anyway, it was just for you and your wife to keep it in your new house.
The Jin family called for help, cleaned the entire home several times, and tidied up the new house. It was not until the fifth day that the cement was completely dry, and then the furniture was put in. Bedding, sheets, curtains, and door curtains were packed away.
, just waiting for a tea party on the right day.
But of course the Jin family was too embarrassed to hold a tea party after receiving the gift money. They made hundreds of kilograms of tofu and deep-fried tofu slices, then wrapped them in oil paper. When the relatives left, it was regarded as a return gift. It also meant that they had eaten the banquet noodles.
Lin Shuangchao came back a day early, and the house was quite lively. Many people from the commune here knew about it and came to congratulate them, also to meet Lin Shuangchao. Lin Yutong looked at the dowry, four quilts, a pair of pillows, a radio, and a basin
Thermos bottles, everything that is necessary for daily life, I have basically bought everything. In addition, I packed two boxes of books that Lin Shuangchao sent back during this period, and I have to take them away.
Of the two hundred and forty yuan, there was only one hundred and two left. Lin Yutong took twenty and pushed the remaining one hundred over.
Lin Shuangchao confiscated, "If you marry one less, your family's expenses will be reduced. You can deduct a little bit of the salary you owe and pay it back every month, and the family will not be nervous. But from now on, you have to think about your life by yourself.
Yes, it doesn’t necessarily mean that one has great ability. If a person can run a family well, that is success. Just like your mother, she is a housewife, but I have never thought that your mother is an insignificant person.
"Anyway, no matter what other people say behind your back, and no matter how unhappy you are at home, this girl will always get married.
The two families were not far away. The fourth master came early, riding a brand-new bicycle, to welcome the bride. Because Lin Shuangchao was there, there were not many people who dared to make a fuss. The newlyweds bowed three times to their elders, and then
I left the house and went to the man’s house.
Fang Suo specially borrowed a commune car to pick up the elders here.
People in the village don’t know how to hold a tea party, but Fang Suo does! A few tables are set up in the Jin family’s yard, and various nuts and candies are put on them. Then the chairman of the labor union of the supply and marketing cooperative comes to host it and talks about learning and progress together.
, this is considered the wedding is over.
The process is simple, but it is a very formal ceremony, and this is it.
Lin Shuangchao entered the house and looked around the new house again. Then he saw a bookshelf at the end of the kang. There were already half a shelf of various books on laws and fertilizers and pesticides. His expression improved a lot. He took out his notebook and saw
I took half a book of notes, and the colors are much softer.
He took the pen out of his pocket, wrote down the phone number of his office on the notebook, and wrote a few words of encouragement before putting it back exactly as it was. If this uncle is pretending, he won't open the notebook again.
, then naturally he wouldn't be able to see this. If he wasn't just trying to fool people, he would have discovered it soon. He also wanted to see if this child was really a pearl wrapped in a bad cover.
Wu Xiuzhen squeezed Tongtong's hand and said, "If it's good to you, then live a good life. If it's not good to you, go home. If I dare to hit you, remember, no one can even lay a finger on you.
.Hitting is the most intolerable behavior, remember?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah! I heard it and remembered it: "I'm not stupid! My dad doesn't take the initiative to arrange for us, but my dad's existence is a layer of protection for us."
What a silly thing to say! If you really have any intentions, your attitude will change when you find that you can’t get any benefits from you. As time goes by, your attitude will change. So, you still have to stand firm!
The old lady sighed, "You two sisters and I are at home. If we get bored, we will go home."
Um!
They walked and talked all the way until they were brought to the entrance of the alley. After watching them go away, they followed Fourth Master back.
What do you say? It’s not surprising.
She is unfamiliar with the Jin family. The yard here is huge. Speaking of it, it is three yards connected together. Towards the innermost part of the alley, on the other side is the private land of the family. The gate is very large.
It is convenient for large vehicles to enter and exit. It is relatively remote in the town.
How can there be three hospitals in a row? This is simply unbelievable when land is in short supply today?
There were still helpers in the yard, and there were deacons who were helping with the arrangements. As soon as Yang Shuhui saw that the master’s intervention was not necessary, she came to help clean up the new house and put things away like Tongtong. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted about gossip.
Matters in the yard: "This matter was agreed to by the brigade commander. At that time, this place was a waterlogged pond. In the summer, it smelled bad and attracted mosquitoes. In autumn, it rained a lot. I was afraid that someone's child would fall in. So I thought about it.
This place was filled in. At that time, our family was able to borrow a big truck and helped the team to haul the earth for several days to fill it up. Many people were afraid that the filled soil here was not strong and building houses would not be safe, so they did not want to have this place.
In the yard next to us, the brigade used the yard to pay for gas and labor, so our house is more spacious than others. This is an urgent wedding. If we want to wait a little longer, we will separate the yard."
No wonder, people don't have enough space to build houses with east and west wings. This house is built horizontally.
Maybe it's to separate them from their unmarried sons. The two sons live on the other side of the house, and the new house is on the other side of the house. There is a distance of thirty meters, which is far away. Moreover, the toilets in my house have been changed, and they have been given a share.
Men and women are separated for convenience.
Generally speaking, among the thatched houses in Yishui, the Jin family's house is definitely the best. Just like this cement floor, many units in the county still have blue brick floors. It costs a lot to build it here.
The price has been paid. Looking at the house and the bicycle outside, I can tell that it cost at least more than three hundred.
Lin Yutong was planning this when he heard shouting from outside: "Jin Si... Fourth brother... It's a big day, it's not good if you don't have a good drink. This is looking down on the brothers!"
Yang Shuhui's expression changed, and she carefully looked at her daughter-in-law's face. She was most afraid of this! It was so easy for him to look like a serious person. If he had been interacting with these people for a long time, then who would treat him as a serious person?
So, she immediately comforted her daughter-in-law, "Mom is going to chase them away."
Lin Yutong stopped her and asked, "How can I do that?" She looked outside and asked, "Mom, do you still have the fried tofu you prepared?"
Yes... yes... yes! Are you hungry? Mom will make you something to eat!
"No! Mom, don't worry about it. Please help me clean up the house. I'll go see someone."
ah?
Lin Yutong really went out, and then greeted people with a smile: "They are all here! Sit down, sit down, I will pick up the food and drinks."
Hey! Okay!
This one calls her sister-in-law, and that one calls her sister-in-law. She responds to whoever calls her. As soon as she enters the kitchen, this one gives the Fourth Master a thumbs up, and the other one raises an eyebrow for the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master just smiles, "Sit down! Sit down."
Jin Yin was so angry that he said to Damin and Sanling, "Go and watch and don't cause trouble."
What's going on? The new wife over there brought out the food and reached out to touch the wine bottle.
These people also shouted: "I will come, I will come..."
Who would have thought that someone knocked a wine bottle and the bottle cap flew off. Then I saw this bride, who I felt so pitiful about, pouring wine into a large porcelain bowl. She poured a bowlful of wine, weighing a pound.
All the wine was poured into it, "All the people here are friends, not outsiders. As for me, I won't toast them one by one. There are so many guests, and there are only these in the bowl, so I'll do it first as a token of respect!"
No, no, no! No, no, no! That’s not what we meant.
This one is holding the other one back, and the one who is struggling is covered in sweat!
No! This is wrong. Isn’t the daughter-in-law that Jin Si married back a bit naughty? Who dares to ask Jin Si for a drink in the future? What if she invites her to drink a pound or two without saying a word?
?Whose fault is it if he is knocked down? If he really gets drunk, will the county magistrate say something bad about his girl? No! Then it must be us who are at fault?
Let’s just say, why is Jin Si so lucky!
I met a Biao in my relationship! It’s right to think about it. If this wasn’t a Biao, who would have gotten the certificate from Jin Si!
Let's go, let's go! Say congratulations, eat two bites of food and then go. Don't cause any trouble.
Not to mention these people, even the Jin family thinks that this Xiaotong has a different brain than ordinary people. Although this child has been in the village all his life, he is a person who doesn't deal with people very much. No one knows what he is like. I just remember it.
I didn't like to talk much in the past, and I looked like a shy and well-behaved little girl!
Now when I see this, my heart skips a beat! Let’s just say that when the fourth child becomes more capable, he will be able to coax a daughter-in-law to come back. On the other hand, think about what kind of brain the fourth child must have to be able to be coaxed back by the fourth child.
Jin Yin's heart felt as if he had fallen into a well.
After all the guests had left, the wife here poured the wine from the porcelain bowl into the bottle with steady hands, and even brought it over and said, "Dad, if you want to drink, hold on to this bottle first, otherwise the smell of the wine will escape."
.”
Ah? Oh! Jin Yin took it and said, "Then these guys...are leaving?"
"Let's go!" Lin Yutong said, "If you come to the house again, just call me! It's not appropriate for anyone to care. They will stop looking after me twice."
Yes! Yes! Jinyin smiled so hard that his teeth came out, and he said to the fourth master: "From now on, I will listen to your wife! I am afraid that my wife will not be embarrassed!" A wife who can control the fourth son is a good wife. It doesn't matter if she is lazy. Anyway, we are the parents-in-law.
You are still young and can still work hard. It doesn't matter if you are greedy. If you don't make money for your mouth, then you have something wrong with your brain.
"Go and have a rest! Ask your mother to warm up your elbows." Then he called to his wife, "Damn it, hurry up, Xiaotong hasn't eaten yet, warm up your elbows."
Yang Shuhui walked out, met Tongtong face to face, and asked, "Do you prefer steamed buns with elbow meat or sesame cakes with elbow meat? We have steamed buns at home. If you want to eat sesame cakes, ask Lao Si to ride for you.
Buy it and it will taste delicious."
"Just steam the buns, chop some green chili peppers and minced garlic into minced pieces, and put them together with the meat!"
You really know how to eat! Eating this way is the best way to relieve boredom.
The fourth master laughed so hard that he felt relaxed while lying on the kang. He didn't bother to eat anything all day long, but he just lay down on the kang and fell asleep.
In the dream, Tongtong was eating elbows and garlic, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with oil. He looked at her, and she grinned at him and narrowed her eyes. Oh, this image, why do you like to see it so much!
