Chapter Ninety-Six: Chen Nian's Dowry
Chen Nian silently took a photo of Chen's mother and Lin's mother making quilts, and sent it to Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, your wedding quilt has been arranged, and it can be sent to your wedding room at any time. ”
Lin Fan had just chosen a restaurant with Sun Hao to eat, and just after ordering the meal, she received a photo and WeChat message from Chen Nian to her, looking at the embroidery of the red quilt and golden silk thread, Lin Fan, like Chen Nian and Lin Mo just now, fell into a state of not knowing whether he was happy or sad.
"Lin Mo, don't stay in the house as a big man, come out and cook. ”
Lin Mo had just stood in the house for a while when he heard his father calling him to help in the kitchen.
This shout saved Lin Mo from an embarrassing situation. Found it
"It's coming. When Lin Mo heard his father's words, he hurriedly walked out of the house and went to the kitchen to help cook.
Chen Nian stayed alone in the house, accompanying Chen's mother and Lin's mother to chat while making quilts.
Mother Lin said while sewing the quilt: "My family, I can only understand your feelings now, since I know that my family Fanfan has found a boyfriend, I am both happy and reluctant in my heart." ”
Chen's mother smiled and said: "We have a good fortune telling, and the uncles we meet are all excellent, if we meet those who are not worrying, we must not worry about death?"
Mother Lin smiled and responded: "Yes, it's our fate." ”
Chen Nian stood aside alone, unable to intervene in the conversation of these two people at all, so he had to remain silent.
After a while, Chen Nian felt that this was really a little embarrassing, and decided to apply to help in the kitchen: "I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is anything I need help with, and I will do it." ”
Mother Lin heard Chen Nian say this and hurriedly said, "No, just let the two cooks work in the kitchen, and you are here to chat with me and your mother." ”
Mother Chen is not like Mother Lin to save face for her daughter: "Nian Nian, just your cooking skills, you can only make a mess if you go." ”
Chen Nian said in his heart: "Is this my own mother!"
Fortunately, Lin Mo and Dad Lin cook faster.
"Don't be busy, let's eat!" Father Lin can be said to have saved Lin Mo and Chen Nian from fire and water with every word today.
Chen's mother took off her reading glasses, put down the needle in her hand, stretched her waist and said, "Don't say it, I haven't made a quilt for so long, and I'm really a little tired after doing it for so many days!"
"Well, this person, I've been a little lazy for so many years, and I can buy everything anyway, so I just don't do anything by myself. Mother Lin stood up and stretched her waist and said.
After a few people finished dinner, they sat in the courtyard and chatted for a while, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than the issue of the wedding of Lin Mo and Chen Nian.
Lin Mo and Chen Nian only now felt that they had thought too much about getting married, and listened to Father Lin, Mother Lin and Mother Chen keep talking about some processes at the time of the wedding, and the two of them were in a fog.
When it comes to children's affairs, it can be said that they always want to be ahead of the curve when it comes to lifelong events, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Chen Nian and Lin Mo were just about to get up and go home after eating, but they were stopped by Chen's mother.
"Niannian, mom has something I want to discuss with you, we haven't slept together for a long time, let's stay here tonight." ”
Chen Nian nodded.
Mother Lin asked, "Then Momo, do you want to stay at home for one night or go back by yourself?"
Lin Mo thought about it and decided to go back to the restaurant by himself, because there was still a document to be used tomorrow in the restaurant, and if he got up early tomorrow morning and drove home to get it, it would definitely be too late in time.
Lin Mo smiled and said: "I'd better go back to the restaurant, Sun Hao is happily taking my sister to play now, I have to go to the company for a meeting tomorrow, the materials are still in the restaurant, I'm afraid I won't be too late tomorrow morning." ”
After listening to Lin Mo's words, Father Lin and Mother Lin hurriedly pushed him into the car, "Then go back quickly, go back and rest early." ”
Lin Mo was so stunned that his parents stuffed him into the car and went home.
Chen Nian sat in the courtyard and chatted with the three old men for a while, and then he was urged to take a bath and go to sleep.
At more than ten o'clock, the mother and daughter were lying on the bed, and Chen Nian suddenly remembered what happened a few years ago when his father was just out of fashion, when the mother and daughter were like this, lying on the bed and comforting each other.
"Mom, it's been a long time since we've slept together like this!" Chen Nian said with his head resting on Chen's mother's shoulder.
"Well, in the blink of an eye, my daughter should get married. Chen's mother touched her daughter's hair and said.
"Mom, don't go back to the mountain city, I'm not at ease that you're in the mountain city. Chen Nian said.
"Well, this is what I want to discuss with you today, and I am going to sell the house in the mountain city. Chen's mother thought for a while and said.
"Sell the house!" Chen Nian was a little surprised when he heard his mother's words, "Why do you suddenly want to sell the house?"
"A few years ago, because of your father's illness, our family's money was almost spent, and now that you are going to get married, I have to prepare a dowry for you!" said Chen's mother with a smile.
When Chen's father was sick, in order to treat him, relatives and neighbors helped him pool a lot of money, and Chen Nian and Chen's mother wrote down every payment.
Later, Chen's mother and Chen Nian paid it all off one by one, and there was no extra money in the family.
"Mom, you don't have to sell the house. Chen Nian shook his head and said.
"Oh, anyway, I'm not in City C now, and you don't want me to go home again, our house is empty and empty, so it's better to sell it." Chen's mother patiently explained to her daughter.
"But the house. ”
Before Chen Nian's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Chen's mother, "Do you want to say that it carries the memories of our family, don't worry, I haven't sold anything in the house, I have found someone to help pull it over, and then I will put it in your own small apartment." ”
"Mom. Chen Nian shouted, and then got into Chen's mother's arms.
"Why, you don't want to care about me, an old woman, if that's the case, then I won't sell my hometown's house. Chen's mother said half-jokingly.
"How could it be!" Chen Nian quickly shook his head and said.
"Okay, after a while, when the things are all here, I'll move into your little apartment, it's not far from you anyway, and Mom can visit you at any time. Mother Chen rubbed Chen Nian's head and said.
"No, I want my mother to live with us!" Chen Nian hugged his mother and pouted and wiped his tears.
Mother Chen smiled and rubbed her daughter's head, and said with relief: "Okay, okay, let's wait for you to get married and then think about these things, okay?"
No matter how strong and independent people look on the outside, they are all children around their parents, eager for hugs.
I slept soundly all night, as if I had returned to my childhood.
"Mom, morning!" Chen Nian woke up and kissed Chen's mother on the side of the cheek.
"Daughter, morning!" Chen's mother rubbed Chen Nian's head and said with a smile.
Chen Nian looked at the white hair on his mother's head, and rushed forward to hug Chen's mother: "Mom, you have worked hard!"
Chen's mother hugged her daughter and said distressedly: "Mom is not hard, you have worked hard in the past few years, other people's daughters have no pressure at this age, you are under so much pressure." ”
Chen Nian has never felt that he has been under pressure, it is really not easy for his parents to raise him from childhood to adulthood, and he naturally has to take on the responsibility of supporting his family when he is so old.
When his father was lying in the operating room, Chen's mother cried until she fainted again and again, and Chen Nian at that time had already thoroughly understood a poem: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait." ”
If there is a next life, she is still willing to be their daughter, hoping to accompany them until they are old and experience life again with them.
