Chapter 496: Door-to-door Meeting
When Mrs. Zhang came yesterday, Lin Changgui had already heard it and knew that he had taken care of his family.
He has been thinking for the past two days, if the other party is good, he is naturally willing, and now it seems that there is really nothing to refuse.
He looked at Zilong and Zijie again, they had all come back from school at this time, listening to it together, he didn't dare to make his own decisions, he still wanted to ask the child what he meant.
Wu saw that he looked at the child, and also understood what he meant, and smiled, "This good thing is not afraid of being late, you think about it, and discuss it with the child, and talk about it tomorrow, if it really means this, I will go to Mrs. Zhang tomorrow, let's try to give the family matter, the girl is alone in the family, and it is not suitable for the New Year to be cold and lonely, if you can take people over before the year, we will add people this year, and the New Year will be more lively." ”
Lin Changgui nodded, called the two children back to the house together, and after sitting down, he said directly, "You also heard what grandma just said, Dad is now pointing to the two of you to live, you two are my lifeblood, I have to ask you what you mean about this, if you have no opinion, I will nod, but if you don't want to, I won't respond." ”
Zilong and Zijie looked at each other, Zilong was the elder brother, so he spoke, "Dad, we all listen to you, as long as you are willing, we are willing, I believe that grandma will not be wrong to give a good person, the third uncle also inquired, and they all said that it was good, then it must be bad, we have grown up, and I hope that someone can accompany Dad, besides, my mother is already married, and my father should marry another one." ”
Lin Changgui was very moved and nodded, "Dad understands, you two are good boys." ”
After they discussed, Lin Changgui said directly during dinner, Wu was very happy, and said with a smile, "That's good, I'll go to Zhang's mother-in-law's house tomorrow, the eldest daughter-in-law, you go with me, let's take care of Zhang Luo, after all, it is a second marriage, and it is not easy to do the same as the first marriage, but the girl is the first marriage, and it is not good to be too wronged by others, there are many things that need to be weighed, and it is easy for you to come up with an idea." ”
Lin Changgui listened to these words, and felt a little inappropriate, "Mother, after all, people are young and have never been married, there is nothing bad about it, I have two children, and I am remarried, will it not be appropriate?" ”
Wu said, "You just relax, what is our family like, Mrs. Zhang naturally said it clearly, I had already instructed when I first said that I must tell the truth, so the girl knows your business, I heard that there are several people who ask her to kiss, which shows that she is indeed a very good person, but she only likes you, which is naturally for a reason, and now it has come to this point, don't say such things." ”
The next day, the Wu family and the Liu family went to Mrs. Zhang's house together, and when they heard that they were willing, Mrs. Zhang was naturally happy, and said that it was a family affair, and it was also her face, not to mention that it was for the Lin family.
The Lin family is now a well-known family within a radius of dozens of miles, and it is a light on the face to say family affairs to such a family.
"The old lady replied quickly, and in the afternoon I went to Mentougou again, and talked to Xiurong about it, she was alone at home, and said that everything was simple, if both parties were willing, look at a good day, and it would be okay to get married before the year."
Wu opened his mouth, originally wanted Mrs. Zhang to give a message, saying that the second child of their family is much older, has two children, and is a little disabled, she is really a little wronged, what kind of dowry she wants, as long as the family can get it, she will give it.
But thinking about it again, it was not sincere to let the matchmaker bring the words, and it happened that she also wanted to see the girl, so she changed her words again, "You will go in the afternoon, then I will go with you, go and meet people, just talk to the girl, and see how to prepare the dowry." ”
Mrs. Zhang smiled, "That's good, it's just a little far, more than ten miles, and it's still quite tiring to walk over." ”
Wu Shi said again, "Then you can go home with me in a while, and let my third child drive back in the afternoon, and I will be there in a while." ”
Mrs. Zhang is naturally willing, she pulls the matchmaker to protect the fiber, and she earns hard-earned money, in the countryside, even if she gives silver, she can't give a few, so her family is just like that, there is no carriage, if you can sit in the Lin family's carriage, it can be regarded as a pleasure.
At noon, Wu also left Mrs. Zhang to have a meal at home, and in the afternoon they went to Mentougou together, Lin Changyuan arrived at the place, and he didn't stay long, so he turned the carriage and went home at the entrance of the village, and went to pick up people later.
If she drove the carriage directly into the village, she was afraid that the girl's reputation would not be good, saying that she chose Lin Changgui because she saw that the conditions of the Lin family were better.
It is a mud-walled house, with a total of three rooms, a stove house and a pigsty on both sides, a small yard in front, a small house, but it is very clean.
Wu liked it a lot, a few people were standing outside, and they didn't go in directly, Mrs. Zhang called the door, and soon someone came out.
Wu liked this girl at first sight, dressed plainly, without powder, wrapped a plain handkerchief on her head, inserted a wooden hairpin, and nothing else.
Xiurong knew Mrs. Zhang, and when she saw her coming, she thought of what was going on, and hurriedly came over and opened the door and asked them to sit in the house.
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Xiurong, this is the mother of Changgui's family I told you, this is Changgui's sister-in-law, I came to see you today, you sit down and talk well." ”
Xiurong was quite generous, nodded when she heard the words, moved a stool and sat down on the side, and called someone.
Wu said, "We came here today to discuss marriage with you, and you have no other relatives in your family?" ”
Xiurong shook her head, "There are no more, some of them are distant relatives, they can't be my master, I can just make my own decisions, if you ask me." ”
Wu sighed, "Poor thing, the elders should be in charge of the girl's family, but you have to make your own decisions, I feel distressed when I look at it." ”
Xiurong smiled, she had already seen it.
Wu said, "Our second child is also a hard life, I believe that Zhang matchmaker has already told you, you also have a number in your heart, we are satisfied with you, today I mainly want to hear what you mean, if you are really optimistic, this family affair can be done, let's choose a date, it is best to get married before the year, you live alone at home, the New Year's holiday is cold, it is really lonely, to our home, the family is very lively together, do you say okay?" ”
Xiurong smiled slightly, and nodded directly, "Okay." ”
