Qingping felt that she and Liu Yan'er might really not get along.
As long as she is a little happy about something, she will definitely find a way to make it difficult for herself. Whether it is unintentional or intentional.
Now this was not about hiding from her when he saw her. She wished they didn't live in the same time and space.
And my uncle and aunt, oh! Not to mention.
When his neighbor married his daughter, the two of them behaved like this. They looked at the dowry and made trouble in front of so many people. Now that he is acting like this again, it has nothing to do with his parents giving him a house as a dowry?
He looked filled with righteous indignation, as if he was incompetent and could make his family more capable.
He has no ability, but his heart is as high as the sky, and he is still a good at doing things.
It's really hard to describe.
She said to herself, I hope these two people will never come when she gets married, and I hope Liu Yaner will not come back before she gets married. Can you ask me to finish the wedding quietly?
It really doesn't work.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, when Fourth Master and Lin Yutong came back with their two children, Liu Yaner and Lakshan also came back.
The Fourth Master and his wife had to spend the night repairing in the county town. The Xu family wanted to take care of themselves the next day, so the Fourth Master would definitely be there. So he called the second son and Yingzi to tell them that they had arrived.
Qingning and Qingyuan went back early, and Qingning said she would stay with her sister for two nights.
In some families, if there are sisters in the family, when the elder sister gets married, the younger sister sleeps with her.
This used to be called saying goodbye!
It is not easy to meet someone after you are married. This is a very old custom. At that time, transportation did not change, and many women could not go out. In addition, there were some who married far away, and some of them really left home and never came back.
It's been a day. Before getting married, the sisters stayed together at night and talked.
Then when you get married, you will have to cry when you leave the house.
Qingjuan fell asleep and said, "Sister, what should you do if you can't cry? The key is that if you cry, won't your makeup be wasted?"
Speaking of makeup, a few people discussed it, saying that they would go out to visit a few photo studios tomorrow to see how the makeup techniques in these places are. In fact, some bridal makeup in rural areas is quite unspeakable.
I woke up early the next morning and was ready to drive.
As a result, after having breakfast and just about to go out, a commotion broke out in the alley. The key is that the police are here and we can't leave for the time being.
Why are the police here?
Why?
Lonicera said that her family lost 300,000 yuan.
The three hundred thousand cash that my uncle brought back was missing.
Such a large amount of money, like what Qingning and Qingyuan came back yesterday, is within the scope of the investigation.
She really cheated her father, so Qingning asked: "Why do you keep so much cash at home?"
Lakshen took a pile of half-burned banknote fragments and said: "It's not lost, it's that..." He also forgot the name of Yan'er's brother, "It's the kid who was thrown into the furnace."
Yes. Auntie insisted that Yan'er and I took it. She said she didn't want to give her 300,000 yuan. I sold my house in Baoshi to get the 300,000 yuan. If you didn't want to give it to me, you wouldn't have bothered with it.
.I originally brought a bank card. I went to the county town a while ago. When I arrived at the county town, Yan'er called back and asked whether I should give the bank card directly or cash. Then her mother said who knows whether the bank card is authentic or fake, and who knows how much money is in it.
Money? They asked us to bring cash back. Then we made an appointment with the bank in advance and took the money back early in the morning. They borrowed a banknote detector yesterday, and the money went through their hands one by one. Then
The money was placed in their house, but when we got there in the morning, the house was filled with smoke and only these few coins were left."
He was so distressed that his eyes were red. This money was half of his parents' life savings.
It just turned into ashes.
Liu Yaner knelt on the ground, crying and begging: "Mom, I tried my best to get you the money, but who is willing to do such a thing? Don't worry, as long as I have money and I make money, I will definitely take it back to honor you.
Just ask me to get married."
Lonicera jumped angrily: "If it weren't for you, you damn girl, I would have seen a ghost. Your brother... your brother... I put the money in the kang. If your brother could get up and take the money out of the kang,
You can even take it out of your bag and throw it into the stove...so what do I have to worry about?"
"Mom!" Liu Yan'er cried, "You can't do this... That's not what you said just now..."
Why didn't I say that?
But everyone watching the excitement felt that Lonicera was not telling the truth.
Now of course she can tell how it is advantageous.
The police took notes and then surveyed the scene. The child lying down was not completely unable to move. For example, if he was lying there and waving his arms constantly, from that angle, he could have been thrown into the stove.
I handed him a cigarette case and asked him to throw it away, and sure enough, it was transferred to the mouth of the stove.
He opened the quilt and pulled out a pile of money, as well as scattered money ropes. There was a cloth bag under his body, "Is this for holding money?"
Liu Yan'er nodded and stood up with tears in her eyes, "Yes! That's it."
When the family got up, they were all stunned when they saw the broken coin. They didn't even bother to look at the situation in the room, and no one paid attention to the child.
They looked at the front and back of the house again, and then said that if it wasn't really burned, it could only have been done by thieves.
There are two situations. Either Liu Cheng and Liandong secretly spent 300,000 yuan, and then wanted to force their daughter to buy another house. Or the daughter of this family gave the money away. But
Well, they asked again: "If the money was exchanged, and so much money was burned at home, and there was smoke and fire, would you two not feel it at all?"
This is not normal!
The people listening nearby said, "That's it."
You and your son were on the same bed, and then you threw the money on the stove and ignited it. It must have been both smoke and fire. How much sleep did this person have to have to be unconscious?
But Liu Cheng and Liandong slept deeply all night and were unconscious. Where can they go to reason?!
One of the two policemen is older, in his fifties, and the other is younger, in his early twenties, and is here for internship.
The two walked around the front and back yards, muttering together.
The young man asked, "What's there to investigate? Sleeping to death just shows that the adoptive parents are actually fine. With such a big loophole here, it would be more credible to say that the family was robbed."
Therefore, he judged that his adopted daughter must have done this.
The older one said: "Yes! It must have been done by my adopted daughter! But what happens next? How to check?"
"Take the person back, then search to see if there are any drug residues similar to sleeping pills, and then check the girl's traces in the past few days..."
How many manpower do you need to spend on a case worth 300,000 yuan?
The elder said: "You just came here and don't know what's going on here. It's not easy for the girls in this family... When I was in school, it was a matter of the capital for a person to go back and forth from home to the county seat in the middle of the night."
The county is so big, where can you go to find her traces? If she holds the money in her hand for ten years without showing it, you won't even know where she hid it."
The young man said: "Take it back and examine it, then everything will be clear."
The older man smiled a little enigmatically: "Then let's have a trial."
Then the young man walked over and said, "Let's do this, follow me to the police station..."
Liu Cheng was startled: "Why... go to the police station for what?" It was already the New Year.
The young policeman glared: "Of course I'm under investigation!"
"What investigation? Investigation?!" Liandong stood in front of Liu Cheng, "If there is anything to investigate, just ask that damn girl. She is full of evil intentions and is rotten from head to toe. If you want to come back then,
Deserve to be strangled to death!"
The young policeman frowned, but Yan'er over there was holding back tears, but said: "I will cooperate with the investigation, and I will go with you."
"We should investigate!" Ling Dong said angrily, "Look at how many immoral things they have done. It's best not to come out for the rest of your life and die in there."
At this moment, the little policeman couldn't help but feel a little angry. These words were too irritating. This was not directed at his daughter, but was obviously directed at his enemy.
If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give three hundred thousand to this couple. What the hell?
Then his face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you call the police to investigate? Let's go! Call the police."
How long will it take to come back?
Ling Dong glanced at his son, why is he so valuable? "We won't go! Why should we go if it's not us."
"It's not up to you whether to go or not..." The little policeman said with some deliberate intent, wanting to scare the other party.
Lonicera was really a bit frightened.
Liu Yaner quickly stood up: "Don't make it difficult for my mother..." She said with a bit of embarrassment, "What my mother said is whatever she said. She said I stole it, so I stole it. I admit it, and I will go back with you.
, go to jail if you should, and sentence if you should be sentenced..."
Liu Cheng's expression was a little complicated, and he was a little stunned when he looked at Yan'er.
The young policeman looked at the old policeman beside him: This is different from what he expected.
Lakshen grabbed Liu Yan'er and said with a blushing face: "She stayed with me last night. She really never left."
"Yes! This child has been at home." Liu Cheng pulled Lonicera and said, "I am obsessed with it. I saw the money being burned by my boy, so I thought of this."
The little policeman was stunned again, "It's really burning? There's fire and smoke, but you can't feel it?"
Liu Chenggong pointed to the door under the kang: "Young man's family is not from the countryside, right? In this kind of weather, you have to burn the kang. The chimney for burning the kang is easy to use, and there must be smoke. And the firelight is even more...
It depends on what is being burned. If it is burning wood residue or slightly moist firewood, there will be no open flame at first. It will smoke first, and then it will burn after drying. It is light and dark, which is normal. It happens to everyone.
."
People around me nodded, this is what happened.
So when it started burning, I thought it was because of the burning kang. And the children would not throw them one after another. They would always be a little irregular, with smoke coming out for a while, light for a while, and people
I was so tired that I slept so hard that I didn’t pay much attention. This is normal.
Liu Chenggong said: "I shouldn't have called the police to ask you to make this trip... You see, I admit it. There is such a child at home to take care of, and my daughter came back with her uncle. After this made a fuss at the police station...
I'll go with you..."
If you admit it, how can you still put it to trial? It’s the New Year again.
The old policeman went over and patted Liu Cheng on the shoulder, giving him a symbolic criticism and education. Before leaving, he glanced at Liu Yan'er and said, "Little girl, your dad is pretty good to you. Just take care of yourself."
Others only took these words to persuade children not to be separated from their parents, but Lakshen was murmuring in his heart.
Do you want to take care of yourself?
Take care of yourself!
After everyone left, Lonicera stared at Liu Yan'er with poisonous eyes: "Get out of the house as soon as possible. It's still the same condition. There is no house in Qin City, and I don't want to have a household registration!"
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, before the New Year, Liu Yaner and Lakshen's belongings were thrown out by Lonicera.
Sisters Qingping and Qingning were about to go to the county town to find a makeup artist and drove out. Liu Yaner blocked them, "Can you give us a ride? It's New Year, and the bus only leaves once in the morning and evening."
The key is to carry your luggage with you, it’s not easy to walk all the way.
Lakshen gave Yan'er a hand: "It's okay, let's go."
Before the onlookers had dispersed, someone said, "Why are you walking? Are you taking a ride? If you don't sit, you won't be able to sit."
Can Qing Ning be left alone?
He nodded and pointed to the back seat, "Get in by yourself. Put your things in the trunk."
After sending people to the hotel, the sisters drove away.
Qingping asked Qingning: "Where did you say the three hundred thousand went?"
"Only Liu Yan'er knows." Qing Ning shook his head: "You are bold enough."
Qingping was wondering how she got the three hundred thousand out.
Lakshen was also thinking about this matter. What the police meant was obviously a hint. They concluded that it was Yan'er who took the money. But it was really the two of them who lived together last night.
Did he sleep so soundly?
Not to mention, I slept very well.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Yan'er say: "I'll go out and ask about room service. Does the hotel provide three meals a day?"
Lakshen responded: "You go ahead...I'll go to the toilet..."
After they left, he neatly opened their luggage bags and rummaged through them one by one. If she had taken the money, why did she do this? Where could she hide the money.
"Are you looking for this?" A voice came from behind.
He turned around neatly, only to see Yan'er standing behind him coldly, holding a bag in her hand, which was the same bag they used to carry money.
Lakshen took the bag and saw that in addition to the neatly stacked money, there was also the household registration book on the top. He took out the household registration book and was sure it was the Yan'er family's household registration book, which made him even more puzzled.
:"Why?"
Why does it have to be so complicated?
As long as we have the household registration book, we can get married. Why are we selling the house, raising money, and stealing the money?
Why?!
He doesn't quite understand.
"You doubt me too?" Liu Yan'er asked, "Are you worried that I will take your money and run away?"
Lakshen shook his head: "No! Never!"
Liu Yan'er's expression softened, "Yes, I took it. Why would I do this?" She showed a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Because at the beginning, I didn't know if you really knew how to sell a house.
In order to marry me..."
She thought it would be difficult for him to come back once he left. She agreed at the time, and it was very easy. Just like buying something, she was so passionate that she was willing to spend any money. But when she bought it, she would regret it 90% of the time. Leave from here.
, it took such a long time to go back and forth to the market, from finding a buyer to negotiating the price, signing the contract and transferring the ownership of the property. Such a long time was enough for him to calmly ask himself whether he bought a house just to marry such a girl who dropped out of college.
does it worth?
If she were him, she definitely wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
She was thinking to herself, she was holding a bank card worth 100,000 yuan from him, what would she do if he didn't come back?
First get the household registration book, and then take the 100,000 yuan to Qin City to pay the down payment. First, get your own house. At least you have a place of your own.
She went to the police station that day and brought 5,000 yuan in cash with her. In fact, it is not that troublesome to renew the household registration book, especially at the police station in the township. She had seen the girl who worked with her and carried the household registration book with her. She also asked them:
"What do you do with this thing when you use it at home?"
They told me that their family members would have an ID card, an application form, and a few yuan for the production fee.
If others don't do it, just put some money in and everything will be done.
This phenomenon is very common at the grassroots level.
So she went and things went surprisingly smoothly.
In those days, she was not in the county town, but in Qin City, and even looked at the house. She decided to wait for him until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If he had not come back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she decided to follow her own plan
.
Although the two of them talked on the phone every day, she couldn't believe it wholeheartedly until they arrived.
As a result, he really came.
Surprisingly early.
She felt that maybe he hadn't reacted yet. She wanted to know how he chose when faced with a large bag of money.
Sometimes, when money is placed in the bank, people have no intuitive impression.
When she called her home, she knew what kind of character her adoptive mother was. She would definitely be willing to ask for cash.
Then he really took out the money, really stuffed wads of money into his bag, really went home with her, and really handed the money into other people's hands.
She didn't know how he felt at that time, anyway, her own eyes were almost red!
With so much money, I'm not afraid of supporting them to death.
She watched the two of them use a borrowed small currency detector to check each piece one by one. So much money was just dangling in front of her eyes. She looked at Lakshen, and besides the embarrassment of not being trusted, there was nothing on his face.
nothing else.
At that moment, her heart was not without shock.
In his eyes, is he a more precious existence than his parents' half-life hard work?
An unfamiliar warmth vibrated in her chest.
If he could treat himself like this, how could he watch him lose so much?
She was sure she wanted to marry him, so how could the money be lost in vain?
In the evening, she cooked. A little sleeping pill could put the whole family to sleep.
She specially stewed chicken soup. Normally, the delicious food would not reach her mouth. Lakshen wanted to give his to her, but she winked and told him not to get into trouble.
There was also the paralytic who never had a regular schedule. He was sleeping soundly during dinner in the evening, and the chicken soup reserved for him was clean.
Except for myself, the other three people fell asleep early and fell asleep.
The money was placed in the innermost corner of the kang by Lonicera. If you want to get the money, you have to get past her. She is very alert when sleeping. After all, she has been used to sleeping next to a child for so many years. So the money is placed there.
She feels particularly at ease when she is around her. She knows that she will wake up if there is any disturbance.
But what did you say?
It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.
She understands Liu Yan'er, and Liu Yan'er understands her. Once the medicine is taken, all problems are solved.
The latch on the door of the room was broken, so it was easy to get in. She took the bag and went out without touching the money inside. It was not very strenuous to walk to the county seat. She walked this road for five days.
Six years.
She went to the hotel where she and Lakshen were staying at that time. The two of them didn't check out when they left. In fact, they didn't really want to stay at home. That night she brought a bag of money and wrapped herself up very well.
Yan Shi entered the hotel again. Instead of going to the room that had been reserved, he went to the front desk, took out his household registration book, opened the room as Liandong, and put his bag in it.
Then he came out and put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.
Then he went down the stairs and hid on the edge of the stairwell. When the receptionist fell asleep on the table, he quietly went out.
I didn't dare to stay all the way, and it was only three o'clock in the morning when I got home. When I went in, I saw that everyone was sleeping well, except for the fool who laughed unconsciously. She took out her money and burned it on the stove.
Then she moved to the stove. When the sparks went out and everything seemed natural, she went back to the room and got into Lakshen's bed.
He just said "cold", and he wrapped her in his arms and held her in a daze.
At that moment, she felt warm from the outside to the inside.
She didn't intend to hide it from him. She just went to withdraw money. She planned to take the money and told him. She didn't even hold the door to the room when she left.
Unexpectedly, he was looking through their luggage when they came back.
At that moment, her whole body was cold!
He suspected it! He discovered it!
What will he do then?
She didn't know. But now she told her what she wanted to do without any concealment.
She was thinking that if he had the slightest dislike, he would not want a single cent of the three hundred thousand. If he thought he was bad, he would be completely bad.
After she finished speaking, she just looked at him.
Then his tears came down, and he wiped them away as if to hide them. Suddenly he stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.
He said: "It's my fault! I must have done something bad somewhere, that's why you don't believe me."
He said: "It's not your fault! In such an environment, if you didn't have such a character, what would you have been like?"
He said: "Don't worry! After we get married, I promise that you will no longer be afraid or uneasy..."
She felt that there was a ray of sunshine shining through her heart and into her heart.
It turns out that my heart is bright, is this the feeling?
"You want to marry me?" she asked uncertainly, "You still want to insist on marrying me?"
"I brought my household registration book..." Lakshen said, "I can register in your county."
Yes! Yes!
She kept nodding.
"Shall we go back to Baoshi?" Lakshen lowered his head and said, "Say goodbye to the past! Okay?"
Go to a place where no one knows you and start from scratch.
Liu Yaner looked at him seriously and persistently.
Lakshen said hurriedly: "You are asked to herd horses and sheep. Don't you like doing business?" He looked at the pocket of money, "It is enough to buy a house or a shop as a down payment."
Liu Yaner heard him say: "Writing your name in the shop is a betrothal gift for you!"
She grinned and burst into tears as she smiled,
At this moment, the only thing she prays for is that God does not see the bad things she has done. If there must be retribution, then let her pay it back in her next life.
She wanted to keep this moment of happiness forever.
This time when we returned to the town from the county seat, Fourth Master and Tongtong also returned together.
I originally wanted to find a makeup artist, but when I got home, my mother said why should I find someone else? She can do it.
Although no one had ever seen her craftsmanship, she had never been a big talker, and she could definitely do what she said. Qingping said that he would ask his aunt to put makeup on her hair.
Even if it's ugly, it still has commemorative significance.
When I arrived at my hometown, the house was already lively. People coming in and out were all people coming to eat wedding candies.
Actually, I don’t have anything to help with, but I just found out that Jin Laoer was getting married to his daughter, so everyone came over to say congratulations. There were a lot of tables, filled with melon seeds, candies, peanuts, and all kinds of fruits. There were children running around in the alley.
, each one's pockets are bulging, and they are all those that can't eat and carry around.
Of course, the Xu family paid great attention to it. In the afternoon, Xu Tian took Xu Qiang, along with the village chief of his hometown village. When the elders were invited, there must be three generations of the family to be the chief here.
When they came, the third child took him to the Jin family's mausoleum in a serious manner, kowtowed and saluted.
To show the Xu family's sincerity in marrying the Jin family.
Strictly was originally going to follow the fun, but was sent by Fourth Master to entertain guests from far away. For example, Shi Yunfeng, Cheng Hai, Qiao Nan and some juniors from the circle who were familiar with Qing Ning and also knew Xu Qiang and Qing Ping took his place.
The elders came to attend the wedding. They arrived a day early and there was no one to entertain them.
There are also people like Jiang Han's wife and Qiao Guohong who need Yao Siyun to greet them.
What Fourth Master didn't expect was that in the evening, Yan Yan and Shi Ke came over to attend the wedding in person.
You should know that local customs value in-laws.
Therefore, the serious couple acted very sincerely and followed the etiquette of their in-laws.
When Fourth Master and Lin Yutong came back, many of them came to follow them just to save face. There were also friends of Xu Qiang and Lao San, and even people like Zhou Hai. If the boss had something to do with his family, he would mobilize all the people who could be mobilized to help.
Yes. Say hello back and forth.
Xu Qiang originally reserved eighty tables in the hotel, but now it seems that it is definitely not enough.
Adding 20 or 30 tables to the table makes me nervous.
Early the next morning, after washing and eating, it was just dawn.
Lin Yutong went over to put makeup on Qingping's bun.
Her hair was just long enough to wrap around her shoulders. Looking in the mirror, Qingping couldn't even see clearly what her aunt was doing with her hands. Anyway, her hair was already tied up in a complicated and complicated way.
At this moment, what she was thinking about was not whether she looked good or not, but thinking that she and Xu Qiang would probably have to spend half the night undoing her hair tonight.
Of course, when the hair is tied up and the hairpin is inserted into the head, everyone who looks at it will take a breath.
There are already a lot of people coming to help. Originally, one of the most beautiful parts of a wedding is dressing up the bride.
But no bride in any family is dressed like this.
Li Xian'er shamelessly came again and said, "Look at the jewelry now, it's so golden. Even though I know it's fake, I still think it's good."
After saying that, he laughed.
Those who know the truth will know that this is not right, and it is definitely not fake.
But in view of the incident that was revealed in the gossip that day, no one said anything. Who cares whether it is true or false, as long as it looks good.
Densely dotted on the head are pendants of golden flowers, hanging like tassels on the forehead. From a distance, they look like golden flowers, but those who are closer are surprised. Those flowers are actually
Each one is a small "福" character punched out of gold.
"How many blessings is this?" someone asked.
Lin Yutong laughed: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine!"
The blessings are long and endless.
Qingping's nose felt sore, this was the most selfless blessing from his elders.
Yingzi turned around and wiped away her tears before saying, "You have to remember..."
Qingping nodded. He didn’t need to tell his mother what he needed to remember, she already remembered it.
Lin Yutong laughed: "Don't cry, I'm putting on makeup."
Apply a light powder, draw eyebrows and eyes, apply lip gloss, fresh and natural, and clear eyebrows. Lower your eyes, like peach blossoms in March. Open your eyes, sparkling, smile shyly, like a mouthful in May.
Fresh peaches.
When I put on the wedding dress, the golden lotus embroidered with gold threads was full of brilliance, and a pair of thick-soled embroidered shoes were covered with pearls.
pretty!
The clothes are so luxurious, it's rare that the bride can still hold them down.
Qingping sat cross-legged on the kang. She couldn't eat anymore. A bowl of poached eggs was brought to her, and she barely ate two. Then she looked in the mirror, afraid of the makeup on her lips.
Just as we were finishing things, there was a commotion outside.
The bride has arrived.
Qingjuan ran back and forth, "Don't worry, Sister Da, we have to wait."
why?
There is also a local custom. On the day of the wedding, the groom comes to get married. When he enters the village, if he feels that he has a relationship with the Jin family, he will tie red ropes to the trees on both sides in the alley in front of his house or on the street.
on, acting as a roadblock.
What does that mean?
Just to ‘block a block’!
Why block it?
The first is to say that we are reluctant to let this child get married. The second is to tell the man that there are many people who are willing to support this child.
Later it evolved into having fun, which is to make lively things lively.
The more popular a house is, the more lively it will be, which means there are more people setting up roadblocks.
Xu Qiang, the groom's official, entered Taiping Town. He was blocked by one person every three steps, and was blocked by another person after five steps.
The red rope on the street blocked the road and other cars took a detour.
I can’t afford it at all!
Some families just want to be lively. The groom goes up to light a cigarette, stuffs a handful of wedding candies, calls uncle, identifies himself, and is let go.
There are also some people who take advantage of this. Just light up a cigarette, but that won’t work! Give them a pack of cigarettes, but that won’t work either. Give them three or five packs of cigarettes, and get a small advantage, and that’s it.
People like Shi Yunfeng, Cheng Hai, Jiang Shui, and Yan Yan naturally followed Xu Qiang. Xu Qiang's place was not crowded.
It seems so lonely in this kind of thing.
These people have never seen this custom, nor have they seen this battle.
Jiang Shui said strictly: "When you and Qing Ning get married, I will have to get a truckload of cigarettes, otherwise you won't be able to take this girl away."
The third child took Xu Qiang and introduced him all the way. Who is this? He will call him uncle when we see him from now on. Who is that? When Qingping was a child, he hugged Qingping so cutely. Qingping always called him Dada at that time. You can just follow him.
Bar.
The name Dada is the same as uncle. In some families, the father's younger brother is called Dada instead of Shu, and the third youngest is called Sanda.
If you call a person with a foreign surname Dada, it is an extremely intimate title.
Xu Qiang wanted to remember, but he couldn't remember all the faces of each person. If he said sincerely, "I remember it," he would definitely remember it. In fact, he would forget it when he turned around.
I was still thinking that when I come back with Qingping in the future, if I see him a few more times, I will naturally remember him.
Because of the large number of people, even if Xu Qiang was very generous and offered cigarettes, wine and tea, and even received a red envelope in the end, it still took more than three hours to get to the door of my father-in-law's house.
It was too much of a waste of time, so when I got home, it was supposed to be lively and lively, after all, there were so many brothers-in-law. But it turned out to be no fun at all.
Qinghui was right there making a fuss, "Brother-in-law, our classes from now on are all small. Do you think... this is embarrassing?"
Of course it's interesting.
Starting from Qingning and going down, Qingfeng, Qinghui, Qingyuan, Qing'an, Qingshou, Qingjuan, Qingxue, Qingyu, Qingyue, ten younger brothers and sisters, each with one thousand, that is ten thousand.
Yang Meili shouted from the side: "Brother-in-law, are we younger brothers and sisters not going to be counted?"
It made everyone laugh.
Xu Qiang quickly said: "My younger siblings are the masters. When I come back in the future, it mainly depends on my younger siblings' faces."
So Huahua and Yang Meili each had another thousand.
There was also a junior here, Qingfeng and Huahua came back, but without their children, but Xu Qiang was not rude and gave the child a two thousand red envelope and asked his parents to help collect it. It was like that.
Then there is a big red envelope for the helpers in the kitchen, and another big red envelope for the butlers in the ceremonial room.
This can be considered as giving out all the red envelopes that should be given out to Yue's family.
When Qingping was sitting cross-legged and his feet were numb, the door of the room was opened. From the gap under the hijab, Xu Qiang came in. The pair of shoes on his feet were bought by the two of them together, so she knew them.
Then a fat baby was stuffed into my arms.
When a man comes to pick up a bride, he has to bring a child with him, and usually a boy from the bride's family plays this role.
This time, Xu Qiang brought the baby of the Jiang Shui family, Qing Ping. Qing met Yu Wenwen on a regular basis, and she also saw the child. When he saw this kid from below, he saw that he was a familiar person. He immediately giggled and stretched out his hand to pull Qing Ping on the head.
hijab.
Qing Pingxin said that Jiang Shui and Yu Wenwen were also very generous, and they really dared to bring the child. After a while, they set off firecrackers, and they were frightened again.
She was holding the child, and Xu Qiang stretched out his hand to hug her. She was so frightened that she shouted: "Stop, please, this is a baby bump in your arms."
"Yeah!" Xu Qiang also laughed: "I know, this is a baby bump in my arms."
This implication made people burst into laughter.
Qingping's face started to burn, and everyone was packed into the car before he remembered that he hadn't cried yet.
I raised my hijab to look at my mother's face, and saw that it was my father who was crying, and then my mother took a basin of water and poured it into the back of the car.
This is what happens when you marry a daughter. The married daughter is like water thrown away.
Then Qingping's sadness disappeared immediately, and he puffed up his cheeks and huffed angrily. Are you so eager to rush me out?
No one cares about the bride's feelings despite all the busy chatter.
This is true, it seems that on the wedding day, the bride has the most nothing to do.
What are you busy with?
I was busy carrying the dowry to the car, and some relatives were busy getting on the car.
Ma Xiaoting hurriedly grabbed Li Xian'er: "Sister-in-law, have you brought some noodles to Qingping?"
Li Xian'er waved her hand: "If I have a daughter, I won't bring any noodles, and I won't associate with anyone." She said it very domineeringly!
Bringing noodles is another custom.
Noodles, homophonic for "care".
Bringing a handful of noodles with you means that you are thinking about your married daughter. Since you are thinking about her, you have to come and go during the next four seasons and eight festivals.
Generally, when a daughter of a family gets married, her uncles and aunts, for example, will bring a handful of noodles and tie them up with a red string. If you bring a handful of noodles with you when you get married, under normal circumstances, you have to interact with other people.
Just like the Lin family, every uncle and aunt of the Lin family brought noodles. Those who couldn't come in person asked Lin Yukang and his wife to bring noodles. This meant that they were thinking about their niece.
Yingzi's idea is actually that it's best not to bring it with you, because it's not easy to do with it.
As a result, someone brought it to me.
Lin Yuqi, Lin Yuling and Rongrong also brought a copy.
Not to mention having children.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master brought double portions of noodles.
Finally, when the dowry was about to go, Ma Xiaoting remembered that she had not prepared any noodles and asked Li Xian'er, but Li Xian'er said she would not bring them.
She was thinking of coming over to see if there were any noodles here, so she could just pinch two noodles and bring them with her. But when Yingzi heard her asking about noodles, she said she didn't have any noodles at home and it would be better if they didn't interact with each other.
But Ma Xiaoting would not really leave it alone. She also has her shrewdness. As soon as she saw the battle of Qingping's marriage, she knew that the relationship was worthwhile.
I wanted to borrow a few from Li Xian'er, but she said she wouldn't bring them.
Then she went to Yang Meili: "Your mother is really her niece, and she actually said she doesn't want to have any contact with her."
Yang Meili was angry, "She is just a loser!"
Then they ran and bought a handful of noodles, giving one to Huahua and one to Ma Xiaoting. The three of them borrowed the red rope that was blocking the road from their neighbor's house, cut it off, wrapped it around the noodles, and put it in a small box.
Many helping women nearby said: "That coward Li Xian'er doesn't do anything at all now! She keeps saying that her daughter-in-law is a second-rate wife. I think she is a second-rate one."
Originally, this kind of noodles should be given by the elders to the younger ones, but now Qingping's portion is good, and two of them were put in by his sister-in-law.
Do you think that in the future, you will interact with your son but ignore his parents?
Of course Qingping doesn't know these things now.
Holding the fat baby in my arms, the motorcade drove all the way. First it went to Xu's community.
Whether it's a person or a dowry, it has to go through the Xu family's door first.
Then people like Yu Wenwen and Qing Ning accompanied Qing Ping, and the others went to the hotel to prepare for the banquet.
Xu Qiang was also very busy and everyone was leaving. Only then did Qingning react: "Brother-in-law, you should come back and take off my sister's hijab first."
Everyone inside and outside the house laughed and forgot about the bride.
Once you get married, throw it away and forget about it.
When the hijab was lifted, it was indeed quite embarrassing. I don’t know who shouted, “Kiss!”
What are you kissing for? Hurry up and sit down.
This is the busiest time, and the host family can’t eat anything. They have to toast!
Originally, the elders of the groom's family should have toasted with the younger ones, but there were only three people in the Xu family and it was too busy. The Jin family couldn't do it without helping.
The fourth master and Lin Yutong greeted these people who came for their sake, while the third brother greeted Xu Qiang's colleagues and friends.
Qinghui Qingyuan Qing'an went to greet the young people.
Qingning had a bag hanging on her waist and it was her job to hand out red envelopes on the table.
Children must give red envelopes, and there is another person who must give red envelopes, which is the bride's uncle.
When there are many uncles, but when material resources are not very abundant, only one uncle will hold the sedan chair. Often, at happy events, there will be disagreements over who should hold the sedan chair.
From Yingzi's heart, she didn't want to ask the Lin family to hold the sedan chair, as long as she had children.
But my child will get married once in his life, and if he makes trouble again because of this...forget it, they are all gone. One uncle per car.
The red envelope given to the uncle cannot be compared with that given to the younger generation. The Xu family gave two thousand, which is already a very big red envelope.
Anyway, it is not very common in the county.
The Jin family doesn't have any requirements, just give it to them.
But the Xu family still ordered 666, which is considered the best in the county. It also comes with big dishes such as chicken, fish and pork ribs.
Yan Dong and Gao Jie also came. After all, when they got married, the Jin family gave them a lot of respect and everyone arrived neatly. This time the Jin family held a wedding event, not only Yan Dong and Gao Jie came, but also the timely and strict sister-in-law.
coming.
She quietly said to Yan Dong: "My sister-in-law said that your parents are really unreliable in their affairs. Do you think this wedding is not decent? I don't blame your wife for being unhappy about this."
However, in a Chinese wedding, there are no other ceremonies except three bows. And because of the long delay, the guests were all hungry. The ceremony was very sloppy.
Qingping didn't even have time to complain. He and Xu Qiang toasted table after table.
By the time all the guests were sent away with smiles on their faces, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
When we got home, each of us cooked noodles and ate them, until we collapsed from exhaustion.
Qingping leaned on the sofa with his head tilted: "How do I do this hair?"
Xu Qiang turned his face to look at her, and when he saw the step shaking tremblingly on his head, he couldn't help but reached out his heart, then gently pulled it out, and came down.
As Bu Yao was removed, the layers of hair sloping down like a waterfall. I can't tell what kind of beauty that is.
It seems like a plot on TV, with loose hairpins, slanted black hair, white skin and black hair... What kind of beauty would it be if it were laid out on a wedding bed covered with rose petals.
He reached out and picked the person up and put him on the bed. What Qingping was thinking about at this moment was, how did his aunt do this? Isn't this unscientific?
On the other side, the second brother's family couldn't sleep.
Yingzi sat up: "You think this is strange. In the past few years, the children have not been at home often when going to school. But I don't feel anything wrong? Why do I feel that my home is empty all of a sudden today?"
It feels like half empty!
The second child turned over and ignored him, but said in his heart: I see you splash water very neatly.
The next day, according to the old rules, you have to go back to your parents' house, and then the relatives of your parents' family will follow the groom, and the groom will set up another banquet.
The Jin family simply omitted this process.
Now that the New Year is approaching, there is no need to worry about that.
But even though the New Year was approaching, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong did not have the opportunity to celebrate the New Year at home. The next day they went to the mausoleum to worship, and then made a special trip to see the graves of the little old lady and their mother.
gone.
Yingzi is getting married to her daughter this year, so she hasn’t made any steaming bowls or anything. “I can’t bring them to you in time.”
Yang Meili, on the other hand, used a borrowed vacuum machine to seal the steaming bowls. She took several of them and said, "I made them all. Fourth uncle and fourth aunt, please take them back."
I don’t know if it was Lao Yang who taught me this, but people say this kid is a fool. In fact, he never made any big mistakes when dealing with people.
Lin Yutong accepted it and gave these children new year's money again.
The boss never asked Qingfeng and Huahua to go home, and the couple didn't go back either. They stayed in a hotel in the county town. I bought tickets for tonight to go to Gansu Province to see the children. They must be at Huahua's house.
It’s Chinese New Year.
The distinguished guest had already left overnight last night. In fact, the only ones who wanted to go with him were the Fourth Master and his family.
It doesn't work if you're not in the capital, but in the capital, it may not really be that busy.
This year we are a family of four during the holidays, and it is only on New Year’s Eve that the whole family goes out to buy new year’s goods.
But when I actually went to the market, I realized that there weren’t many things I could buy back with confidence.
We need red pepper at home, and the dried red pepper on the market is red and bright. The two children think this pepper is very good, but Lin Yutong knows as soon as he touches it that this thing has been specially processed to make it look good.
Qing Ning said that the red chili peppers he ate outside were not spicy, and wanted to buy chili noodles at home. Lin Yutong looked at them and saw that most of them had added red ones.
There are also dark-looking edible oils and aspics with added edible glue.
Of course, these things are at least edible.
But there are also pig ears made of plastic...this is very dangerous.
Therefore, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the day after work after the Chinese New Year, Minister Lin said: Big safety must be taken care of, and small safety must be taken care of on a daily basis. Otherwise, there will really be a day when "it is easy to excrement and eat".
This statement is quite disgusting, but when Minister Lin shared that when she went to the market, she couldn't buy reassuring New Year goods, the people listening couldn't help but take it seriously.
"The intestines and stomachs of chicken, duck and pig head scraps are generally made with rosin and leg hair. During the brine process, toxic sodium nitrite, sodium hydroxide, formalin, hydrogen peroxide, industrial salt, bleach, and colorants are used.
Color-forming agents, preservatives, pork essence paste and other additives... The white duck intestines and the golden duck legs are actually highly toxic... In addition, there are also products similar to making fried dough sticks
, using washing powder and water to mix dough can make the dough sticks more fluffy... The process of making dough uses a washing machine. Some small family workshops use washing machines commonly used in households..."
Before they finished speaking, many people began to feel sick in their hearts.
Then this matter is something that must be paid attention to.
After the school started in Qingyuan, I felt that I couldn't eat enough.
You can't eat anything. Are there any pesticide residues on the vegetables? How many times have the chefs in these cafeterias cleaned these dishes?
Then everyone discovered that Jin Qingyuan became a vegetarian.
Whether you are a vegetarian or you choose to eat.
For example, potatoes and sweet potatoes are more enjoyable to eat. Pesticides cannot be sprayed on these fruits. In addition, bean sprouts and tofu are relatively safe. He rejected things like yuba. They looked yellow.
It's so shiny, who knows what stuff was used to infect it.
He didn't eat it, and he even popularized it with his classmates. He also didn't eat eggs, duck eggs, etc. outside.
Mom said, this thing is fake!
Therefore, what he can eat is really limited.
My roommate in the dormitory said this was too silly, "Banana is okay. Eat some!"
Don’t eat!
This thing is always green when picked, "Can you guess why it turned yellow in our hands?"
Okay! If this is the case, we might as well starve to death.
Then Lin Yutong muttered to Fourth Master: "Have you noticed? Your son comes home on time every weekend now. He seems to have lost weight."
"So?" Fourth Master looked at her, "What conclusion have you come to?"
What does it mean to have something again?
What's going on with the little impatience?
She guessed: "I guess I'm falling out of love?"
Fourth Master looked at her: "..." and then lowered his head: "You are still too idle."
Lin Yutong, who was too busy, soon became exhausted. Her son said: "Mom, please make me more meat sauce or something. We also want some pickled side dishes."
It's no problem to take food to school. I guess it will please other girls.
Then the mother is very dedicated and makes all kinds of preparations for him as long as she can bring him.
He also told people, "Don't be reluctant to part with it. Mom will make it for you after you finish eating."
Qingning said to her mother: "Aren't you afraid that other girls will like your craftsmanship instead of your son?"
Then I am proud to find a wife for my son based on my ability!
Damn girl, it’s like my son can’t find a wife.
Look! What a handsome young man.
You need to have a good family background, you need to have good looks, and you need to have talents.
Mothers-in-law don't know how much they like such a son-in-law.
Unlike Lin Yutong, who firmly believed that his son was in love, Qingning believed that his younger brother had the aura of being single.
When I don’t go out on weekends, except for playing games, I won’t stare at the phone from time to time as if I’m always afraid of missing something. I won’t hide in the room or bathroom or any other corner, muttering to others on the phone.
To sum up, everything proves that he is still not in love.
Soon, Lin Yutong had no time to worry about whether her son had a girlfriend. She received a call from an unexpected person.
who?
Rongrong!
The girl who was going to give birth to Lin Yulong's posthumous son.
"Second sister." She hesitated on the phone, "I'm in Beijing now."
If there is one or two people in the Lin family who must be taken care of, it must be Rongrong and her daughter Lin Tianyou.
After asking the driver to pick him up at home, Lin Yutong couldn't help but count on his fingers after hanging up the phone. Yulong must have been gone for more than ten years.
"Yoyou was born in 1992." Rongrong said as she sat opposite Lin Yutong.
Youyou is Lin Tianyou’s nickname, taken from Youyou Luming.
Lin Yutong nodded, yes! Time flies so fast!
One person is missing and one is growing, and time does not stop for anyone at all.
"It's not easy for one person to raise a child all these years." Lin Yutong sighed. I only met Rongrong when Qingping got married a few years ago. She didn't bring her child there at that time. There were so many people that day that she didn't have time to talk in private. Today, Lin Yutong
I couldn't help but ask first: "How are you, Yoyo? How is your dad and mom doing?"
"Everything is fine!" Rongrong had a smile on her face, "Everything is fine."
As she said that, she lowered her head again. It could be seen that she was sitting here, feeling a little uneasy.
Lin Yutong took the initiative and asked: "We are not outsiders. If you have any difficulties, just tell us. Don't say come in person, just make a phone call. I can do it and I will never shirk it."
Rongrong raised her head sharply: "Second sister, if I say that I want to get married, what would you think?"
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Really? That's great!" She said sincerely, "It's been more than ten years, it's enough! What you have done for Yulong is enough!"
Really good enough!
They buy clothes for Lin Jiacheng and Deng Chunhua all year round. During the New Year, they give pocket money and buy food and drinks. They buy nutritional supplements when they are sick. Although they don’t take care of them personally when they are hospitalized, they give them every day every day.
During the two cold months, the old couple were always brought to the county seat and stayed there for a while.
Therefore, that child Yoyo is no stranger to the Lin family at all.
She was not married, but was pregnant before marriage. She insisted on giving birth to the child and remained unmarried for eleven years.
If that’s not enough? What else?!
Lin Yutong said: "It's long past time to take a step forward."
Rongrong smiled bitterly: "I still feel sorry for Yulong. After all, I couldn't wait until the child grew up."
If you really wait until then, your whole life will really be delayed.
Lin Yutong did not persuade her, but asked about the other party's situation: "Is he widowed or divorced? Do you have children there? Do you have any children? How old are you? What kind of work do you do?"
Only then did Rongrong have a gentle smile on her face: "I am forty this year, and I am a small business owner. I am not widowed, but my husband and wife are divorced. I have a son who is one year older than Youyou, but it was awarded to his ex-wife.
"
oh!
This condition cannot be said to be good, nor can it be said to be very bad.
If you want to, just get married. Just tell yourself when you get married. I just don't know why I came here specifically.
She asked: "Are you encountering difficulties?"
Rongrong took a deep breath and said: "I just want to ask the second sister to help me find this person. In addition, if possible, I hope to find an intermediary to talk about it. After getting married, he will save some money for Youyou every month...
"
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment. She never expected that this was the question she asked.
Rongrong smiled bitterly: "My dad and mom can't understand. They think I'm just fooling around. Either get married or not get married. It's a bit too much to ask others for this condition." She pursed her lips, "But I don't think I was wrong."
Lin Yutong was not in a hurry to speak and listened to what she said.
"It was so easy when I fell in love with Yulong." She said with a smile on her face, "At that time, I felt that as long as I was with him again, I would be fine no matter what. I was willing to give birth to a child without him. Yes.
When the child is here, I feel that he has always been there. At that time, we talked about feelings. But now that I am at this age, I still have so much enthusiasm to talk about such deep feelings. I am too tired to be alone... The child is older
, it’s hard to manage. My parents at home are getting old, and geriatric diseases have also come with them. One is hospitalized, and the other is taking medicine. I am very busy every day, accompanying my parents to see a doctor, and sending my children to school. Sometimes I can’t take care of all this.
I can't care about the other end. I'm very tired, so I just want someone to help me share the burden. Not to mention the life-and-death love, as long as the two of us can talk and look pleasing to the eye. He is willing to live with me and help me take care of the elderly.
If I have a child, I am willing to wash and cook for him and take care of the housework." She laughed again, "So when I get married, I have to think about the child first. The world is not the same as before. Everything is looking forward. At that time, we could distinguish
The house is good when we get there, but looking at it now, I feel that the house is still too small. In the future, when the child goes to college and goes to a big city, she will need more. With my dead salary, I can only say that our life can be lived.
.I want my children to live a prosperous life, but I actually don’t have that much financial ability.”
Lin Yutong said: "I am really short of money. Just say something..."
"Second sister, I don't mean that." Rongrong said anxiously, "If it was just about money, I would have spoken to you directly on the phone. I am the mother of the child, and I have to ask for this money..."
Lin Yutong understood the rest.
Rongrong was afraid that her children would complain in the future, so asking for this extra money was to tell her children: Mom remarried for your sake.
Only in this way can the child feel better.
Seeing that Lin Yutong understood, Rongrong burst into tears and said, "Second sister, I'm really tired. But I'm afraid! I'm afraid that the child won't understand. She is everything to me. When I think about my child being worried, I don't care.
Courage to move forward..."
Understand! All understand!
The older you get, the more scared you become.
Lin Yutong said: "Okay, you make an appointment and I will definitely go. I will go see him and talk to him alone. I will go with your second brother-in-law, okay?"
Rongrong nodded: "There is also the Lin family. I haven't had time to tell the Lin family yet. I really don't know how to open my mouth."
It's hard to tell if your daughter-in-law wants to get married.
Lin Yutong took the initiative and thought about it before calling Lin Yujian and explaining the matter.
Lin Yujian said: "I said at that time that no matter when she takes this step, the Lin family will marry her as their own daughter..."
