Chapter 21 If someone marries you, marry you
Early the next morning, Lin Zhihong's family of three went to the old house. For the return of the eldest son, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin are happy. Especially Grandma Lin, she asked the question Liu Xiaoying asked yesterday again. Lin Zhihong answered all the questions again with a smile on his face. The grandmother of the Lin family was satisfied to prepare breakfast for everyone.
"Daddy, when will the eldest sister do the wine?" Lin Zhihong and Lin Meiru are five years apart, although Lin Zhihong always disliked his sister when he was young and was unwilling to play with his sister, but when he was older and sensible, he naturally protected his sister under his wings. After Lin Meiru got engaged last year, Lin Zhihong used his spare time to help make a complete set of furniture. Such a dowry is still rare in the village.
"December 22. It's almost there. "Grandpa Lin is also a little reluctant. The little girl who was raised by her family is about to get married. When I come back in the future, I just come to visit relatives.
"Oh, is there anything else to prepare?" Lin Zhihong now has some money in his pocket, and he doesn't mind helping his sister within the scope of his ability. If a woman has a lot of dowry, her in-laws always have to look at it. In the past, rich families married their daughters, as small as a stitch and a thread, as large as a coffin, all of which were fully prepared. I'm all ready for birth, old age, sickness and death, and I don't have to look at your in-laws' eyes to live. Nowadays, there is not so much dowry, but it is better to have more.
Grandma Lin happened to come out of the kitchen, listened to it, and hurriedly said, "You don't need to prepare anything." The furniture you made, the quilt I prepared, and made several clothes for Meiru. Wait for the next time I go to the market, I'll go buy a few hot water bottles, basins or something, and I'll be fine. "Actually, small things are also added all the time. For example, children and grandchildren buckets, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang bowls and chopsticks and the like.
Grandma Lin has a plan in her heart. Now the married people give gifts, and those who have a good relationship pay five or ten yuan. If you have a general relationship, you can send the right pillow towel or a towel or something. Therefore, Grandma Lin plans to let Lin Meiru take these things away when the time comes. In this way, the dowry seems to be a lot more.
"Mom, you look at it, anyway, if there's something not enough, I'll come out." Lin Zhihong smiled at Mimi's words. Liu Xiaoying stepped on him, and this person just made some money and floated a little. I don't want to think about the house at home, how can I spend money lavishly. Lin Zhihong quietly moved his foot to a position.
Breakfast was served, and the whole family sat down. People in Jiangnan mostly have white porridge with side dishes in the morning. There is no such thing as a side dish. In the summer, it is often seasonal vegetables, and in the winter, it is mostly pickled at home. If there are children at home, sometimes boiled eggs.
Originally, Grandma Lin was going to eat white porridge with pickles in the morning. But Lin Zhihong came back, and Grandma Lin fished a few salted duck eggs from the small jar of pickled salted duck eggs. After boiling everything, I put it on a plate and brought it up. When everyone ate together, Grandma Lin shook her chopsticks and directly sandwiched several pieces of salted duck eggs for Lin Zhihong.
"Alright, alright. Mom, wait until I eat my own clip. Lin Zhihong hurriedly put the salted duck eggs piled up in the bowl back on the plate. I sandwiched another piece for Grandma Lin and Grandpa Lin. "Daddy, Mommy. Eat yourselves! "A breakfast, the family had a good meal. Eat, go to school, go to work.
After eating, Lin Zhihong did not go back immediately, but helped Grandpa Lin to repair his farm tools. In winter, you can't get off the ground, so it's a good time to repair farm tools. "Daddy, it's spring, I'm ready to start the house." Lin Zhihong preached while helping to repair.
"Do you have enough money? If it's not enough, I'll give you some. "My son is going to start a house, and Grandpa Lin feels very happy. The eldest daughter is getting married, and the eldest son is about to start a house again. It's all a major life event, and there is no room for sloppiness.
"Enough, enough. The money I sent back last time, and the money I brought back this time, is enough for me to finish the house. When Lin Zhihong said this, he felt a sense of pride. All of this is earned by working hard outside. If it is a man, he must be able to afford a good life for his wife and daughter.
Grandpa Lin is not reluctant, his son is also such an old person, he can decide whether he needs help or not. "By the way, you're going to build a house, you can ask Doudou to take you to see his house. Doudou's house is also new and beautiful. The structure is also very good. You'll know when you look at it. ”
The Qin family's house is counted in the village, so ask Lin Zhihong to take a look, and it is good that he has points.
Lin Zhihong nodded: "Daddy." Which villain is Doudou? ”
"Qin's family, his family moved back last year. Beanie and Shuangshuang play well. I often go to and from school together. They'll be out of school in a moment, and you'll come along. The Qin family is all polite people, you go and take a look, they will welcome it. ”
"Got it." Lin Zhihong nodded. If you want to build a house, you must naturally be beautiful and satisfying.
No matter how Lin Zhihong's house is going to start, the day of Lin Meiru's marriage will come in a blink of an eye.
The day before the Lin family invited to help the chef make wine, it arrived. Many dishes need to be prepared in advance. The ladies of the village also came spontaneously to help pick up vegetables and clean the dishes and chopsticks. Lin Zhihong, Lin Zhicheng, and Lin Zhifei each have their own errands. In the village, everyone contributes to the wine. Your family borrows a table, and his family borrows a dish. It's very lively.
Fortunately, after the people in the village bought the bowl, they would ask the bowl seller to engrave a word on the bottom of the bowl. It is usually the name of the family. For example, Lin Zhihong's bowl is engraved with a macro word, or a double word. In this way, you can see whose family it is. In this way, it is convenient to return the bowl after borrowing it. The table is not easy to engrave, but you can write a name with a brush and paint.
Tables, chairs and benches are in place, wine and food are in place, and now everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow's banquet. This night, Grandma Lin slept with Lin Meiru. This night, the mother and daughter went from peeing when they were children to crying, laughing and laughing when they grew up, and Grandma Lin pointed out Meiru again. How to get along with my in-laws' family after getting married, as a result, neither of them could sleep that night. When they woke up in the morning, their eyes were red.
The bride always had to dress up and change into a red dress. It was cold in December, so Lin Meiru consciously wore a red sweater, a pair of black pants, and then a red cotton windbreaker on the outside. Pair it with black leather shoes. Lin Meiru's clothes match just right, and the whole person looks different.
Today, Lin Meiru is the most idle. Just dress yourself up beautifully. Grandma Lin, Grandpa Lin, and Lin Zhihong are all busy flying.
