Chapter 149: Preparation and Utilization
Seeing Little Apple yelling and manipulating the little car and playing with Xiao Bai, Lin Shan was also relieved; A child's mind is very sensitive a lot of times, Lin Shan doesn't want the little apple to become sullen at this time, he still prefers to see the cute and cheerful little apple now, rather than the little pitiful little who was a little timid at the beginning.
Iko has gone home, and although he only has one day off, Iko has an important mission; I believe that Ike who is at home now must be a little embarrassed, this housekeeping, a solution to the dowry, Ike must be inevitably subject to some jokes and the like.
The second sister-in-law is also helping Lin Shan to make the most difficult preparations, tomorrow the people from Ike's family will come to see the house, although they are all from the same village, although everyone knows the root and knows that Yike and Lin Shan are actually a matter of decided, but the etiquette that should be there is still indispensable, this is not only respect for others and their own politeness, but also the importance of Ike.
In fact, there are not many housekeeping etiquette, basically the woman's family comes to see the situation at home; And Lin Shan is preparing to 'send the day', that is, he plans to set a wedding date, which may be a little bit of etiquette that needs to be prepared, such as which things are indispensable in customs and habits, and which ones need to be determined face to face with the woman, these are all things that Lin Shan needs to do a little homework now.
However, Lin Shan actually didn't need to be too nervous, because he and Yi Ke were in love, and Yi Ke didn't have any numbers to pick and choose at home, so there was basically no trouble. As for the seven aunts and eight aunts and the like, since everyone in Echo's family has no opinions, these seven aunts and eight aunts have some opinions on some side matters at most, after all, it is Ike's parents who have the most ideas.
Lin Shan is quite confident, although he has indeed heard of some men's families being troubled and disliked, but now Lin Shan does not need these worries, because Ike's family is basically satisfied with Lin Shan's conditions, and Lin Shan's own conditions are indeed good. Although many people like to buy a house in the city now, which seems to be more face-saving, Ike's parents don't seem to care, and Echo himself has no opinion; In addition, Lin Shan's house is indeed very face-saving, of course, there is nothing to pick and choose.
As for Lin Shan's own work, Ike is indeed a reporter for the TV station, which can be regarded as very good; However, there is a fish farm in Linshan that is making money every day, and there is a very good restaurant, and the economic foundation of Linshan is now very good, which is naturally nothing to say, basically such conditions are really good in the countryside, and even the ordinary urban people may not be better than the conditions in Linshan.
"Pork ribs were bought, right? Tomorrow you will use the ribs, and you will have two cakes, cigarettes, wine, tea, etc., ready, and you should not lack eggs or anything. Forget it, you move your things to the small room, and I'll give you a little bit. The second sister-in-law, Xiuyun, is busy counting Lin Shan's items, and the woman will come to see her home tomorrow, and the preparations need to be done well.
"Second sister-in-law, how will this bride price be given tomorrow?" Lin Shan was still a little anxious when the matter came, although he got the money back in the bank, but it seemed that he was particular about giving a bride price.
"How to give the bride price, you tie it with a red cloth. You've settled on a relationship with Ikok, and that's pretty much it. Generally speaking, the woman's side can accept the gift money if she is satisfied; If she is not satisfied, the woman does not have to accept it, and there will be no contact between the two parties in the future. You and Ike don't have this thing, and tomorrow after lunch, give the money to the matchmaker of the woman's family. Tomorrow, you will have a sweeter mouth, remember to call people, and don't let their family accept the food if there is still food. The second sister-in-law is also constantly reminding Lin Shan.
"What does it mean not to take the food?" Lin Shan has a headache, many of the customs and habits here are half-understood, and it is really a troublesome thing to do without lack of courtesy.
"You're right not to hire a cook, tomorrow is when the two families meet for a home-cooked meal. Ten dishes, in a big bowl, it doesn't matter if you can't eat them, their family can't get off the table if they don't leave; You can fry the balls yourself tonight, this dish is the most reluctant, and the reunion is round. There should be candy, red dates, and peanuts in the fruit bowl, and the others are secondary, and these three things are indispensable. In short, the fruit bowl and the like you prepare tomorrow cannot be empty, and the table cannot be empty and the dishes cannot be removed. The second sister-in-law was taking stock of the prepared items and reminding Lin Shan.
"Go buy three big gifts and come back, and bring back cigarettes and alcohol by the way; If you don't have too many cigarettes, it's enough to buy two cigarettes, and when people come in, they will give a pack of cigarettes when they leave; In the case of ceremonial flowers, they put one at the door, one when they eat, and the last one when they give it away. After the second sister-in-law checked it, she reminded Lin Shan and said, "Remember to buy three small firecrackers and hang them back." ”
Lin Shan is very busy, this is a day of housekeeping, but there are a little more customs and habits here; However, although it was a running fart, Lin Shan was enjoying it, and he was also very excited and looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow. As for now, the most important thing is to pick up the little apple that was playing with Xiaobai and carry it to the car, and hurry up to buy flowers and the like.
The candy is a good choice of Alps, and chocolate is also selected from the fingering of Little Apple, of course, tobacco, alcohol and drinks are also indispensable; Coupled with some small snacks such as dried fruits, basically Lin Shan's preparation is almost the same.
"What else does Little Apple want to eat?" Lin Shan smiled and pushed the shopping cart, Little Apple likes to run in front now, so she doesn't sit in the car like other children!
"I want to eat Dove, I want to eat the white rabbit, my mother is the worst and I am not allowed to eat too much, I still want to eat pistachios, I want walnuts, Uncle Watermelon, I like you the most, can you help me smash walnuts, the little apple is too small to smash walnuts." The little apple opened his hand to hug it, but Lin Shan knew what the little girl was doing now, smiled and bent down to let the little girl kiss it, which was considered to be an acceptance of the bribe, and the matter of smashing the walnuts was definitely down.
The little girl happily strolled around the snack area in the supermarket, where there were a lot of snacks she liked to eat; As for Lin Shan, anyway, the things to buy now are ready, and when I go back, I will go to the fireworks and firecrackers shop to install three large gifts. In fact, it is still good to have a small apple, a small expert, buy more snacks that children like to eat, and there will be no shortage of snacks when the fruit plate is loaded tomorrow.
Little Apple obviously didn't expect that she was being used by Uncle Watermelon, and when she saw Uncle Watermelon carrying a lot of snacks, the little girl was jumping up and down and looking forward to it. However, although Lin Shan is a pet apple, Lin Shan will also pay attention to it now; He's willing to let Little Apple have a snack, but it's definitely not some junk food. Fruits can be eaten freely, candies and chocolates should be eaten in moderation, and potato chips and the like should be eaten fresh at ordinary times.
So obviously, although Lin Shan does buy a lot of snacks now, but a lot of them are small apples that look greedy, and it doesn't matter if you want to eat them, but it is difficult to eat a lot. After settling the bill, he opened a box of chocolates for the little apple, and looked at the little girl holding the chocolate with a happy face and eating it with relish, Lin Shan smiled and patted the little girl's little head; This uncompetitive little girl is only caring about eating now, and now she has forgotten to follow Lin Shan to the parking lot.
