Chapter 15: Happy Events

There are no parents who want their sons to be sons-in-law. Only those who are poor or have all kinds of problems will become sons-in-law. At the beginning, Grandma Lin didn't like this marriage. However, the Lin family was really poor at that time. So later, Lin Zhicheng couldn't be tough, and let him go to be the son-in-law of the Li family. Although it has become a fact, Grandma Lin still feels uncomfortable when she thinks about it.

mentioned Lin Zhicheng, Grandma Lin couldn't help but think of the marriage of the other three children. "Old man, do you want to ask someone to find out the tone of the Sheng family? Meiru is also at this age, so just take the marriage early. We don't want more of their bride price, as long as the young couple has a good life. ”

Lin Meiru works as a textile worker in a textile factory in the city, usually lives in the dormitory in three shifts, and only goes back to the countryside to see her father and mother when she is resting from work. The last shift was ten days ago, and it is estimated that Lin Meiru will come back once in the past two days. "Old man, just when Meiru comes back this time, you also ask her what the situation is now. Get it! ”

Grandpa Lin nodded: "You know, this matter, you are a good mother to ask." You asked me to ask the little girl about this, but I can't ask, so you should come by yourself. "Although Grandpa Lin is not machismo, it is more appropriate to ask for this kind of thing as a mother. Grandma Lin was right when she thought about it, so she said: "If I ask, I will ask!" You're a dead old man, and you're getting useless. ”

Grandpa Lin doesn't care about this, the old woman who has lived so many families with herself, everyone knows what kind of temper they are, and Grandma Lin has nothing else wrong, she just likes to read two sentences. If you want to read it, let her read it, anyway, there are a lot of pieces of meat in two sentences. And Grandpa Lin has a particularly good way to deal with Grandma Lin's chanting skills, that is, when she starts to chatter, she runs away directly, and comes back when she finishes chanting.

Just when Grandpa Lin wanted to run away, Lin Meiru came back.

"Mom, it's hot." Lin Meiru ran in and poured water to drink, and drank two bowls of cold white before stopping.

Grandma Lin came out with a plate of watermelon from the kitchen cabinet: "Do you want to eat watermelon?" In the morning I put it in the well to the present. You're lucky, and if you're any late, you're going to eat it all. Lin Meiru nodded, of course you have to eat cold watermelon. While eating a package that pointed to her back.

"Mom, there is the fabric I bought in the bag, you take it out and take a look!"

Grandma Lin took out two pieces of fabric from Meiru's package. One is white and cool, and the other is blue cotton. "You're messing with money again. You have clothes at home, what do you buy these fabrics for? Grandma Lin habitually began to chatter.

Lin Meiru saw that Tang Seng was about to start chanting the scriptures again, and immediately explained: "Mom, Mom, this is a defective product, a product processed by other supply and marketing cooperatives." I have friends I know in the supply and marketing cooperative, and this time I bought it because of the blessings of others. When it's time to leave, you and my father will each make a piece of clothing. How many years have you and my father been wearing clothes, so it's time to change. ”

Grandma Lin opened the fabric and looked at it carefully. Indeed, there are a few yellow spots on the white piece of material, and I don't know if I can wash it off, if I can't wash it off, I should pay attention to it when cutting it to see if I can avoid it. The blue one, there is no problem at a rough look, but if you look closely, you can still see that the cloth is not dyed in place, the color is dark in some places, and the color is light in some places.

"It's all done for your father, and it just happened to be replaced by one for another." Grandma Lin made a decision while folding the fabric.

"I've got clothes to wear, so you'd better make it yourself. I'm an old man, and I don't need good clothes. "Grandpa Lin didn't want either. In the end, it was Lin Meiru who made the allocation.

"The white ones are for Mom, and the blue ones are for Daddy. Each of them made a new garment. In the future, we will be able to buy processed products, and we will discuss who to make them after we buy them. Lin Meiru gnawed on watermelon juice all over her face. Seeing the way my parents like it, I feel a sense of satisfaction.

"Don't. You get paid that little yourself. The family didn't have much dowry for you. Do you have money or save it yourself. Otherwise, you can pick up some good things for yourself and save them. By the way, Mom asked you, how have you and Aiguo been in the recent past? Did Aiguo tell you when you were going to make wine? ”

Lin Meiru put down the watermelon and felt that the watermelon tasted a little wrong: "Aiguo has been with the car recently, and I haven't seen him for a few days." I'll ask him again when he gets back. ”

"You said hello, tell me sooner. It's good to prepare early at home. You know? "Grandma Lin is reluctant, but the girl is going to marry when she is older. It's not always good to stay at home. "The elders in the family have to go to the door one by one. I talked about it earlier, so you might as well take the time to invite it early. Otherwise, people will be polite. ”

"Alright, Mom. I see. Mom, I'm struggling, I'm going to sleep. Lin Meiru felt that she was about to fall apart. As soon as I got off the morning shift, I was busy rushing back with a large bag. It's already October, but it's still hot. Sleeping on the bed, Lin Meiru played the same thing that her mother had just said, and she felt a little irritated in her heart.

This Lin Meiru is upset that Sheng Aiguo is missing, what is Sheng Aiguo busy with?

"Xiao Sheng. You've been running with the car like this lately, and your body can bear it? The driver looked at the road and joked about Sheng Aiguo. Xiao Sheng, are you getting married, so you want more subsidies? ”

Sheng Aiguo nestled in the co-pilot and smiled innocently: "Well, how can you ask for a wife if you don't have money?" So I have to work hard to make a living, save more so that I can get married. Otherwise, if you get married, let your wife live with me for a bitter time? Then it's strange that my mother-in-law didn't come to me to explain the law. "Sheng Aiguo follows the car, and there is a subsidy every time. When there are more, there are three or five yuan, and when there are less, there are one or two yuan, and the length of the subsidy depends on the distance with the car.

Now it is not popular to marry a bride, and I want a washing machine, a refrigerator, and a TV instead. Which of these doesn't cost money? Although Meiru once said that it would be good to do her best, she couldn't let her wife fall too much. Sheng Aiguo has no other skills, but he can still bear hardships and stand hard work.

Sheng Aiguo calculated that if the washing machine, refrigerator, and TV were all bought, it would cost about 1,900 yuan. If you add in the money for liquor, it will cost at least 2,200 yuan, not counting other small expenses. The Sheng family has only two siblings, and the elder sister got married last year. Now I am just waiting for a happy event to celebrate the country.

Although the Sheng family's parents said that Sheng Aiguo did not need to pay for the happy event, Sheng Aiguo felt that in the final analysis, he was begging for his wife, and he didn't have to do anything at all, so he was a little unhappy. Therefore, since the beginning of the year, I have been working hard to follow the car more and get more subsidies.

"Xiao Sheng, have you decided when to make wine? When the time comes, I'll be waiting for the bride to light a cigarette for me. The driver smiled meaningfully.

Sheng Aiguo laughed twice: "Wait for us to go back this time, when we go back, I will ask my mother to come to the door to pick the day." Thinking about the wife who was about to go home, Sheng Aiguo smiled like a flower. Although the flower is a bit dark......
