Mr. Lin got up early one morning, put on new clothes and shoes, and went out of his room. As soon as he opened the courtyard door, Zhang Xiuqing came.
"Dad, I made breakfast, you go over and eat together."
"Okay, let's go to your place to eat." Lin Changyou thought about it and said to her, "Xiuqing, you have worked hard today. When we come back, you can go to Xiaolan's place to play for a few more days."
He originally wanted the eldest couple and Lin Guodong to go to Lexing with him. Zhao Xiaohui was unhappy and said that the two elders looked down on her. Zhang Xiuqing took the initiative to stay at home to look after the house and feed the pigs.
Zhang Xiuqing smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm not a three-year-old baby. Besides, there are so many pigs in the pen. It's the New Year again. If anything happens, who can I cry to?"
Lin Chang nodded slightly: "There is a night vigil in the pig farm. We are not worried about you being alone at home. Guoliang and the others will be back in the afternoon."
Lin Changyou and Zhang Xiuqing went to her house for dinner and had just returned home when Lin Guohui and his wife came over with a vegetable basket.
Lin Guohui stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked at Lin Changyou: "Uncle, hurry up, it's too late and you won't be able to catch up."
Lin Changyou glanced at him lightly: "We still have a while to leave, so if you are worried, just take the first step."
Lin Guohui glanced at him dissatisfied and said to himself: If I can find it, why should I call you?
Zhou Chunlan smiled and said: "Don't panic, we will wait for you to go together."
After about ten minutes, Lin Guoliang rode his bicycle and took Zhang Yuru to the door of his house: "Dad, Yuru is here, let's go!"
Lin Changyou raised his voice and said, "Go and call Lao Er and the others."
Zhou Chunlan looked at Zhang Yuru who was getting more and more handsome with jealousy, and laughed twice: "Tsk, tsk, look at Yuru who found a girl from her husband's family in the city, she is different from before! She really took advantage of her mother-in-law and showed her to her.
, the longer it gets, the more beautiful it becomes!”
Zhang Yuru's pretty face turned red and she didn't answer. She looked at Zhang Xiuqing who was approaching: "Auntie, why don't you go to Lexing?"
Zhang Xiuqing glanced at Zhou Chunlan and his wife: "We can't have no one at home. You go and have fun for a few days. I'll be there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Oh!" Zhang Yuru held her arm: "Then I'll wait for you in Lexing."
The two of them walked towards the courtyard together, and Zhang Xiuqing asked in a low voice: "What did she just say to you?"
Zhang Yuru lowered her voice: "She said a few acid words, so I didn't bother to pay attention to her."
The two of them entered the yard and helped Lin Changyou put the bean curd into the backpack. Zhao Xiao and Lin Guodong also came over.
The father and son carried the bean curd on their backs and walked out of the courtyard. Lin Guoliang said to Zhang Xiuqing: "Don't send it away. We will be back in the afternoon."
Zhang Xiuqing nodded: "Dad, please go slower on the road and be careful when crossing the ferry."
Lin Changyou waved his hand, and the group walked quickly towards the brigade intersection.
Zhou Chunmei pulled Zhao Xiaohui's brand new purple plaid jacket, looked at her black straight pants, and said sourly: "Xiaohui, you look really good in this outfit. When did you make it?"
"It looks good! It's made of the material Xiaolan brought back." Zhao Xiaohui looked at her proudly, "The clothes made of good materials are different. I put them on when I got up in the morning, and there are no wrinkles at all."
Zhou Chunlan said with an exaggerated look: "Xiaolan is too good to you! Your outfit cost at least more than ten yuan to make. If my eldest aunt was half as good as Xiaolan, I would laugh even in my sleep."
Awake."
"Sister Yuezhen almost died trying to work for your family." Zhao Xiaohui said and glanced sideways at Zhou Chunlan and his wife, "Today is a good day for her, and you and your wife just go there empty-handed? It's not the same thing.
Dowry?"
"We are so poor that we almost have to carry a basket to beg for food. How can we buy a dowry?" Zhou Chunlan glanced at the backpack Zhao Xiaohui was carrying, "Xiaolan is so good to you, today is also a good day for her, you are my sister-in-law.
What did you buy for her?"
Zhao Xiaohui glanced at her and said with a mysterious face: "My Xiaolan's wedding is next year! You will see what we bought her next year."
Zhou Chunhong was choked by her and had nothing to say. She walked quickly to Lin Guohui and complained softly: "Look, my sister-in-law, your sister can't even keep up with Xiaolan."
Lin Guohui said with a sullen face: "She deliberately made you angry. Why did you talk to her so much?"
Zhou Chunhong glanced at Lin Changyou in front of him, who was holding his hands behind his back, and ignored him.
The group of people walked to the river embankment. The road on the river embankment was flatter and the walking speed became faster.
When we arrived at the ferry port, Wu Shufen's second sister, Wu Shuqin, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and Lin Guoliang's uncle Wu Jiafu were already waiting there.
Wu Shuqin and Wu Shufen both look a bit similar. Wu Jiafu is tall, with an oval face and dark skin.
Lin Changyou stepped forward with a smile: "Jiafu, Shuqin, Shuqin, when did you arrive?"
"About ten minutes after we arrived, the second sister said she couldn't come because she had something to do." Wu Shuqin smiled and patted her daughter, "Xinglan, can you call me uncle, cousin, or cousin?"
"Uncle, cousin, cousin-in-law." Tong Xinglan greeted with a blushing face.
Lin Guoliang asked: "Why don't aunt and uncle come with you?"
Wu Jiafu smiled and said, "I have something to do at home, so I'll go there when I have time."
The group crossed the ferry and arrived at Dashiqiao Town. The shuttle bus had already started and left the parking lot.
"Master Chen, brake, Master Chen, brake," Lin Guoliang shouted loudly as he ran. Old Chen saw Lin Guoliang in the rearview mirror and quickly stopped the car.
Li Hongmei pulled up the car window and saw Lin Guoliang and his party, and said: "There are not many people in the car. You guys carry your things into the car."
Lin Guodong nodded happily: "Okay! Thank you, Sister Li."
The brothers carried five bamboo baskets to the car, and Li Hongmei took out the ticket: "Guoliang, are you all together?"
"Sister Li, we are here together." Lin Guoliang said and handed the money to Li Hongmei.
Zhou Chunhong glanced at Lin Guoliang dissatisfied: "The more you get more and more stingy, what's wrong with buying two more tickets?"
Lin Guodong sneered: "I took you to Dongshi for Sister Yuezhen's sake, so don't be shameless."
Lin Guohui tugged on his sleeve: "It's not like we can't afford two tickets. Let's buy them ourselves."
The group arrived at Dongshi and got off the bus at the station. Lin Changyou said to Lin Guoliang: "Give Xiaohui the folder and take Guohui and his wife to Ayong's house."
Lin Guoliang nodded and left with Lin Guohui and his wife.
Chief Lin and his party walked through the alley to the tractor-tillage road. Wu Jiafu looked at the endless rapeseed fields and the houses beside the tractor-tillage road, and sighed: "It's better in the city, and the houses are better than ours."
Chief Lin nodded: "Yes, Lexing is the brigade closest to Dongshi City after all."
Tong Xinglan pulled Zhang Yuru and asked in a low voice: "Sister Yuru, where is your boyfriend's home?"
Zhang Yuru pointed to the mechanical tillage road opposite the stone bridge: "From there, go to the beginning, turn left and walk for ten minutes."
Tong Xinglan glanced at her with envy: "Sister Yuru is so lucky. From now on, like Sister Xiaolan, she will be half a city dweller."
