Chapter 498: Fellow villagers show goodwill
Then the Lin family began to prepare for their marriage, it was already winter, and there was no work to do in the field, so they were just busy with these.
The children of the Lin family are very happy, and the family has held happy events for two consecutive years, but it is really good, the color of the big red happy words pasted when Lin Changqing got married last year has not faded much, and now it is going to be torn off and re-pasted.
It stands to reason that there is no need to be so troublesome to remarry, after the decision is made, give the gift, find a day to bring it home, and relatives and friends sit together for a meal, and it will be done.
But because Xiurong is marrying for the first time, and she is the only one in her family, the Lin family really can't bear to do it too simply, although they have been pressed repeatedly, but the specifications that come out in the end are still about the same as the first marriage.
The people in Mentougou Village said that she was so blessed that she had chosen such a good husband, and she was willing to do these for her.
Xiurong does needlework at home, she has to do everything she marries by herself, and she has to make a dress for Lin Changgui, few people come to her house on weekdays, knowing that she has said such a good family business, many people come to her house these days.
They are all daughters-in-law and aunts, sitting all afternoon, Xiurong doesn't pay much attention to them, anyway, she will take a sentence of what she says, and she doesn't take the initiative to mention it, and she doesn't even bother to raise her head, and keeps her head down to do needlework.
Her hands and feet are very fast, even if she listens to others, she does not delay her work.
"Hey Xiurong, your craftsmanship is really good, I can't help but talk about the Lin family in Tongxin Village, this Lin family is amazing, hey, I don't need to talk too much here, that is your future husband's family, you must know better than me."
The aunt just mentioned this, but she didn't expect Xiurong to really raise her head, and asked her with some curiosity, "Auntie, tell me well, I really don't know how the Lin family is." ”
As soon as she said this, several other people were stunned, and another person on the side spoke, "No, Xiurong, aren't you going to marry into that family?" I don't even know what their family does, who are you lying to when you say this? I know that you said that you are a good person, so you don't need to say that, who is this for? ”
Xiurong was not angry, and smiled, "I really don't know, I just think I'm suitable for that person, and I didn't ask too much, and the other matchmakers didn't say anything." ”
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, those people gathered around a little, "You really don't know, then I can tell you a good story, do you know that everyone has started to plant those new crops in the past two years?" ”
Xiurong nodded, "It's corn, sweet potatoes, and a potato, is that all?" ”
The girl nodded, "Yes, yes, that's it, then do you know where the seeds come from?" ”
Without waiting for Xiurong to shake her head, she immediately said, "It's the Lin family, their family planted it first, and they also agreed with the yamen about the deal, give the seeds to the yamen, and we will plant them in the whole county, and their family also got a mountain because of this, and the dozens of acres of land in the family don't have to pay land tax, you talk about how good it is." ”
Another person said, "It's not more, there are two officials in their family, just the past few years, I heard people say that the Lin family used to live a poor life, and they couldn't eat, and now they have turned over directly, not to mention Tongxin Village, that is, there are few families in our Wanhe Town that can compare, you are really blessed, and you are such a good person." ”
Hearing these words, Xiurong fell into deep thought, and stopped doing the needlework in her hands.
She really didn't know that the Lin family was like this, when she heard Mrs. Zhang talk about Lin Changgui's situation, she thought that Lin Changgui was also quite pitiful, his former wife was really not good, and he had two children, and he still had some disabilities, I heard that the disability on his back was left to save the children during the earthquake.
This touched her, she accompanied her father and refused to marry, this is filial piety, and Lin Changgui is protecting the child, this is the father's love for the child, she thinks that the two of them are not much different, at least that person will not be a bad person, even if she is more than ten years older than her, she also thinks it is very suitable.
Mrs. Zhang on the side wanted to say, but she didn't listen, and later met the Wu family, she felt that the future mother-in-law was also easy to get along with, and she relaxed her mind even more, but she didn't expect the Lin family to be so good.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the Lin family will think that she chose Lin Changgui because she took a fancy to their family's money.
She remembered that she had gotten the ten taels of silver before, and she regretted it a little, she knew that this was the case, so she shouldn't have received those silvers, so didn't it make other people's thoughts more confirmed?
Seeing that she was stunned, an aunt on the side pushed her and said with a smile, "What do you want Xiurong?" If you can't do anything, just tell us, it's winter now, and there is nothing to do, you need to prepare things to marry, we can do it, and we can help you. ”
Xiurong smiled slightly, "It's not necessary, I did it myself, my aunts came to help me, I naturally want to entertain well, there are no good things in this family, if I give the salary, I can't take out so much, the money in the family has been treated by my father before, I have a daughter's family, and I can't farm the land, it's only enough for myself to live, if I let you help, I'm afraid you will be wronged." ”
An aunt next to her smiled, "Hey, what's the big deal, we are all from the same village, what kind of money is not money, of course we don't need money to help you work, as for hospitality, it doesn't matter, we all live in the village, just go home and eat." ”
Another person said, "It's just that we really have a little favor that we want you to help, the Lin family has the seeds of those new crops, and now those things are treasures, and they can't be easily obtained, even if you take the silver to find it, it's not easy to find, and there are only two families in our village who get it, if you really wait for the yamen to distribute it, then you have to wait for several years." ”
"We all know that it's a good thing, and if we can plant it in advance, won't the family live a good life in advance? Can you talk to the Lin family, let them bring some seeds, you are going to be the daughter-in-law of the Lin family now, it's not a big deal to say these things, don't you say? ”
It turned out that they had this idea, Xiurong smiled slightly, and immediately refused, "My aunt really lifted me, don't say that I am not the daughter-in-law of the Lin family now, even if I am already married, it is not easy to open this mouth, it is my mother-in-law's thing, how can I call the shots?" Auntie, don't say that again. ”
Her temperament is like this, as long as she believes that she will not change it easily, otherwise she would not have stayed until she was so old and unmarried.
Seeing that they couldn't achieve their goal, those people were also a little moved, stood up, snorted softly, and left, "What's the big deal." ”
Then no one came, but it was very clean.
