Chapter 195 + 196: Giving the Dowry (2-in-1 Chapter)
Rainbow and Zhong Hua took over Sun Erqu's menu and looked at it seriously.
After reading it, Rainbow looked at Zhong Hua, Zhong Hua nodded, Rainbow also thought it was very good, chicken, duck and fish, meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, soup, Sun Erqu were all good.
"Brother Erqu, then follow this menu. ”
Rainbow handed the menu to Sun Erqu again.
"What's the food?
Someone next to him asked.
Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Sun Erqu thought about it, and didn't hide it, and read the menu he listed.
"Good girl, there are so many dishes, I haven't seen anyone in the town marry a daughter-in-law to make so many dishes, how much does it cost. ”
The person next to him smacked his lips when he listened.
"Yes, this dish is quite a lot, or a big dish, Brother Zhonghua, rainbow girl, in fact, there is a big dish on the table, this is chicken, fish and meat, too much, it costs money. ”
A man also nodded, and they didn't mean anything else, they just felt that they had to spend a lot of money and wanted to save some money for Zhong Hua.
"Thank you, but since you're here, you have to make people eat well. ”
Zhong Hua smiled, money earned is spent, he and Rainbow will get married once in their lives, why do they have to do it well, they can't make people find fault with the dishes.
"Brother Zhong Hua is really willing. ”
The person who spoke just now gave a thumbs up, thinking to himself that the person sitting at the table tomorrow will be blessed.
The rest of the people also agreed, those who were supposed to help were more motivated, those aunts and sisters-in-law or something, thinking in their hearts, come to help, even if people don't invite themselves to the table, but even if they eat some leftovers, it is also a good dish, and they all decided in their hearts that they must come to help.
Those boys and girls are even more drooling when they listen to it, and they all remember in their hearts that they must come over after school at noon the day after tomorrow, there is something delicious.
When Sun Erqu left, Rainbow and Zhong Hua gave him money, but he didn't ask for it, but Rainbow and Zhong Hua couldn't let Sun Erqu pay for the food.
Sun Erqu said that he would take it out first, and when he finished calculating the profits of Rainbow, he would deduct it directly from it, as for the wages for cooking or something, he believed that Rainbow and Zhong Hua would not calculate with him, he was really here to help, if he was given money, then Rainbow and Zhong Hua would not treat him as their own.
Seeing his serious expression, Rainbow and Zhong Hua couldn't say anything, so they agreed.
The next day, Rainbow and Caifen were still in the moon, and Zhong Hua was having breakfast when there was a knock on the door outside.
It should be Zhong Hua's aunt who is here, right? But it's really early, and they haven't finished breakfast yet.
Rainbow thought to herself, slightly apprehensive, she hadn't seen Zhong Hua's aunt yet.
Before the Chinese New Year, Zhong Hua went to his aunt's house, but she didn't go. Aunt Zhong Hua, the second year of junior high school, didn't come to visit relatives, so she didn't see it.
I don't know if my aunt gets along well.
Rainbow was thinking about it, when Yueji opened the door, and a hearty laugh came from the courtyard, which was still somewhat familiar.
Rainbow was stunned, put down her rice bowl, and walked out.
There was more than one person standing in the courtyard.
Lin Leopard, Lin Dagen, Lin Dagen's daughter-in-law, she is still holding their daughter, Lin Ergen, Lin Sangen, Lin Sanmu, all came.
On the ground beside them, there were several boxes, all of which were painted and looked bright, and there were also face plates and shelves, with red words cut out of red paper pasted on them.
"Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, sister-in-law. Why are you here?"
Rainbow was a little surprised, and even more moved, these things are not for Yueji at first glance, because there is a happy word on them, and they must have been given to her.
"Haha, you and Zhong Hua are going to get married, we are my mother's family, why don't we come, we will send you boxes, quilts, and marriages. ”
Lin Leopard smiled heartily, and opened the box for Rainbow to see, which contained a newly sewn quilt.
"This, this, this is too much. ”
Rainbow's eyes are red, as a girl who is going to get married, her mother's family originally wanted to prepare a dowry, but her mother's family, she can't count on it. Fortunately, Zhong Hua didn't care about this, and she and Zhong Hua prepared everything in advance.
Unexpectedly, Lin Leopard, as an outsider, and their family actually helped themselves prepare a dowry, although it was not too valuable, but this intention really moved Rainbow.
"Look at you, what's more, Yueji went back and said that you were going to start a family with Zhong Hua, time was tight, so we hurried to make a box and let your aunt and sister-in-law sew the quilt, rest assured, this is all new cotton, covered with warmth." You have to go out, and there is no box or quilt like anything. ”
Lin Leopard could see the rainbow's touch, and he also heard Yueji say, the rainbow is not lacking in these, but the rainbow is not lacking, that is the rainbow's business, whether they do it or not, that is their business.
They can't take out much, and what they may take out must be done.
He didn't give this side a mouthful, and he didn't let Yueji say it, because he felt that this was what he should do.
"Thank you, thank you. ”
Rainbow could only thank her with red eyes.
Zhong Hua gently patted Rainbow's back, and he could feel Rainbow's excitement.
"You're welcome, you see that you helped Yueji and helped us so much, and we didn't say thank you, we were all our own people. ”
Lin Leopard is also grateful to the rainbow in his heart.
"Okay, then you're welcome, let's come into the house, we haven't had breakfast yet, right? ”
Rainbow and Zhong Hua let people into the house.
There are a lot of people, and the meals are definitely not enough, but the rainbow, the moon season, and Caifen are also fast, and they have to do some more, and the big guy has a lively breakfast.
"This is a great place. ”
After breakfast, Lin Leopard and the others looked at the things in the house and the yard, and sighed.
Lin Ergen's heart had already let go, and he was also happy to see that Rainbow and Zhong Hua were doing well.
Rainbow took a lot of delicious food for Lin Dagen's daughter, and Lin Dagen's daughter-in-law was so happy that she kept it for her daughter.
Lin Leopard asked them what they could do, if Rainbow Ming wanted to go around the town, they could help carry the dowry.
As he was talking, Sun Da came, he came with a rack car, and the car pulled a box, and two quilts, he also came to give Rainbow a dowry, afraid that tomorrow Rainbow will have no quilt, no box, and will be laughed at.
This is made by his family in a hurry, his family is not good, but they are grateful to Rainbow from the bottom of their hearts, Rainbow is going to get married, how can they do their best.
"Brother-in-law, have you eaten?
The rainbow is very moving, the Sun family is a real person, and what they do is also a real thing.
"I just came after eating, your eldest sister is fine, I didn't let her come over today, I'll come with her tomorrow." ”
Sun Da said honestly, he didn't care what the relationship between Rainbow and Xu Yufeng was, Rainbow got married, he had to come.
"Okay, okay, eldest sister is fine, you sit down. ”
Rainbow also let Sun Da get to the seat, Sun Da greeted Lin Leopard and others again, and he also had a good impression of Lin Leopard's family.
The people in the courtyard were talking nonsense, and after some deliberation with them, they decided to take the rainbow around the town tomorrow.
Marriage is a big deal, you can't go from this house to that house, you have to make the rainbow scenery.
Rainbow looked at Zhong Hua, originally she didn't want to, mainly because she was afraid of trouble, but now everyone is so enthusiastic, Zhong Hua is also willing, then let's go around, there is nothing wrong with being lively, and she has nothing to see people.
And so it was settled.
While he was talking, another person came in the doorway.
There were four people coming in this time, in fact, the older one was a man and a woman, and there were two other children, the older one was about six years old, the younger one was about four years old, the older one was a boy, and the younger one was a girl.
"Auntie, uncle. ”
When Zhong Hua saw someone coming, he hurriedly stood up and shouted.
Rainbow stood up when she heard this.
She looked at Zhong Hua's aunt, who looked like she was in her forties and nearly fifty, her hair was combed very smoothly and pulled back of her head.
I wore a cloth shirt on the outside of my upper body, and the cloth shirt looked very clean, but it was not new.
The lower body is black pants, and the feet are black cloth shoes.
This is a very normal outfit.
As for her appearance, she is not similar to Zhong Hua, the traces of wind and frost on her face are very serious, and she doesn't like to laugh, she looks a little serious.
As for her husband, he looks like an honest man, with a dark face, nodding when he sees people, and he doesn't have much to say.
"Aunt, uncle, you are here. ”
Rainbow also followed Zhong Hua to call someone, although she and Zhong Hua are not married yet, but tomorrow they will be husband and wife, and there is nothing wrong with her calling it so.
Zhong Hua's aunt Zhong Cui glanced at the rainbow with a look in her eyes.
felt that the rainbow was very good-looking, but Zhong Cui's eyes did not have much joy.
Speaking of which, Zhong Cui has no opinion on the rainbow, but she has an opinion on the Zhong family and the Liang family.
She is two years younger than Zhong Hua's father, their parents died earlier, the second uncle and they split up, and they were not very close, and then the second uncle died, and the second aunt led the child to remarry, so they could not interact.
She got married at sixteen, and her brother had not yet married his sister-in-law at that time.
When her brother married her sister-in-law, she had a good impression of her new sister-in-law, but later her brother lived in her sister-in-law's house, although she was not a son-in-law, but her brother seemed to have become a member of her sister-in-law's family.
It's not that there are no men in my sister-in-law's family, so why should my brother take care of the elderly in my sister-in-law's family like a son-in-law?
She quarreled with her brother about this, and they didn't have a house, and they weren't poor and couldn't eat, which made people laugh.
But the elder brother didn't listen, saying that the father-in-law and the mother-in-law were very good, their parents were gone, and he should honor his wife's parents.
Zhong Hua has been close to her grandmother since she was a child, and she is even more reliant to her aunt.
Later, Liang Yutian and Zheng Lan moved out, and her brother said that he wanted to provide for his mother-in-law to the end of his life, and she was very unhappy in her heart, because she rarely went back to her parents' house for this, because she felt that her sister-in-law's family was also there, so it was not her mother's home.
Later, my brother and sister-in-law moved to Beijing, and I remembered that my brother didn't discuss this matter with her, and told her directly, which made her tremble, and that time she had a big quarrel with her eldest brother.
She said that she was just this eldest brother, and their brother and sister depended on each other, but after her brother got married, he only had the Liang family in his heart, not her sister, and now she didn't want her as a sister.
She said cruel words, but she didn't expect that time to become a farewell, until her brother died in an accident, and she never saw her brother again.
Zhong Hua came back to see her, for this only nephew, she was not without feelings, but she complained in her heart, if it wasn't for the Liang family, maybe her eldest brother would still be alive and well.
She always felt that it was the Liang family that affected her relationship with her brother, so she didn't like the Liang family.
As for Rainbow, it was the candidate set by Zhong Hua's mother Liang Xiu, because she didn't like the Liang family, and she didn't like Rainbow.
In addition, this matter was decided, Rainbow did not follow Zhong Hua to the door to let her see, and it was not unified by her, which means that Rainbow does not attach importance to her aunt, and she dislikes it even more.
When she saw Rainbow today, she looked good and dressed well, plus she heard that Rainbow had cut off relations with her family, so she got her sister to live in Zhong's house.
Isn't this another Liang Xiu?
Is this the place where you want to turn their Zhong family into the Lin family again?
Because of these reasons, Zhong Cui didn't want to see the rainbow, and there was no smile on his face.
Rainbow could feel that her aunt didn't like her very much, and she didn't have a smile in her eyes, why?
But she didn't want to ask, she couldn't make everyone like her, as long as she was okay.
"Who is this? ”
Zhong Cui sat down on the chair that Zhong Hua moved for her, hugged her granddaughter on her lap, looked at the people in the yard and asked, she didn't know anyone.
Zhong Hua introduced her.
Zhong Cui frowned, they are all from the rainbow side, the Lin leopard family, and the rainbow family are not relatives, but their daughters live here, so they came to add boxes, although there are many people, but the things are not bad, so she will not pursue it.
As for the eldest brother-in-law of the rainbow, he also looks like an honest man, and he is also here to add boxes, so she has nothing to say.
"Your parents are gone, there are really relatives here and our family, my aunt asks you, are you ready? ”
Zhong Cui asked Zhong Hua with a very serious expression.
"It's all set. ”
Zhong Hua nodded.
"How many tables are there tomorrow?"
Zhong Cui asked again.
"Prepared six tables of dishes. ”
Zhong Hua replied, after all, it was his aunt, he couldn't hide it, and he had nothing to hide.
"Six tables, where are there so many people? I think two tables are about the same. ”
Zhong Cui frowned, she knew all the relatives on the Zhong family's side, and together they might be one table, one table for the rainbow mother's family, and two tables were enough. If you can't sit down, then squeeze is enough.
Could it be that there are a lot of relatives over there in the rainbow? Aren't they all here to eat? Isn't this to take their Zhong family as the boss?
Zhong Cui's face flashed with anger.
"Over there in the rainbow, Uncle Lin and them, as well as my brother-in-law's family, have no other relatives, but the neighbors said that they would help tomorrow, and they couldn't ignore other people's meals, and it was better to prepare more than less. ”
Zhong Hua smiled.
"You, the neighbors come to help, what kind of seats, they may not be able to take things, even if they take things, I'm afraid there is nothing good, and when the time comes, there will be leftovers to send them some." There are so many arrangements, no money. ”
Zhong Cui is not satisfied, and she doesn't blame her, her family is not a wealthy family, and she feels distressed when she sees her nephew spending money lavishly.
