Chapter 186
After all, even if there is a big gap in the past, when the granddaughter gets married, it is not easy to be absent as a grandparent. Otherwise, when the Liu family came to greet their relatives, they didn't see the old people in the hall, and I am afraid that there would be any speculation.
However, the Wang family was worried about Liu's style, so they kept hesitating. It wasn't until it was almost dark on the fifteenth that she didn't dare to rub it off, and assigned her son to go to the old mansion.
The old mansion has now completely fallen silent, if it weren't for the Liu family going to the river every once in a while to wash the bedding and clothes, I am afraid that she and Lin Laohan will be forgotten by the villagers.
Now Lin Mancang saw at first glance that his grandmother, who had always been flying and domineering, had completely become a mother-in-law with gray hair and a black and yellow complexion, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart.
But he wouldn't be obedient, he just told his mother what he had explained.
When Liu heard that it was for Lin Baoru to marry, he also felt that it was quite unpleasant.
At the beginning, she cursed the second room as a white-eyed wolf every day in her heart, and even hated that she couldn't drown Lin Baoru in the first place. But after a long time, she can't help but remember the respect and service of the second room to herself.
Even, sometimes I remember that when Baoru was just born, it was really rare for her to be a grandmother.
In addition, Youzhi said it well, but since he coaxed her back, he hasn't met again. The son's light is not touched, and the grandson doesn't care about the two of them at all, and the granddaughter-in-law is even more hateful.
As a result, the Liu family, whose life is becoming more and more miserable, has completely lost his previous arrogance.
Of course, the biggest reason for her to honestly go to the second room to watch the ceremony is not that she is embarrassed now. is not the mother-in-law of the Lin family, but she is worried that she will anger Li Zheng again, so she will be driven out of the village directly.
Anyway, no matter what, the black-faced Liu helped Lin Mancang, who came to pick him up, to move Lin Laohan to the cart and followed him to the courtyard of the second room.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that the Liu family has entered the new courtyard of the second room.
Originally, she didn't come to the thatched house where the second room lived. Every time I come back, I can see a few sad faces of the second room mother, and even scared like quails, letting her do whatever she wants.
Even at the beginning, Baoru was smashed in the head by her, and these women didn't dare to say anything.
At that time, she felt that she could only rely on a few people in a big house to enjoy happiness in the future, and she was looking forward to her grandson on the tip of her heart to be famous and famous, so that she would have a good time.
But how can I think that in the blink of an eye, I will fall into such a field.
On the contrary, a few second-room mothers who made her look down on her were able to live in a wide house. I heard that the workshop in the back is more decent than this courtyard......
Lin Laohan grinned a few times at Lin Baoru, who was helping him clean the bedding, but that appearance could also make people see the doorway, this was talking to his granddaughter.
It's just that at this time, he couldn't say a lot of words, and in the end he could only point to the smelly bedding on the ground with his dry hands, and said, "Take it, take it, take it, ......take it."
Lin Baoru didn't know why, and it took a long time to react. She only thought that there was something Lin Laohan wanted in the quilt, so she squatted down to rummage through it, and after looking for a long time, she took out two pieces of tissue paper in the mezzanine where she didn't know it.
Seeing this, Lin Laohan breathed a sigh of relief. Xu is tired, he can only gasp for breath now, and hold back the words, "Give...... To give...... Dowry ......"
At this time, Aunt Lu, who came over, saw clearly that what Baoru was holding in her hand turned out to be a page deed. Isn't it the two acres of land left in the old house after the family was separated?
But later, when the big house was driven out of the village, the field deed was hidden by Lin Laohan thinking of the law......
Not to mention the aunts and aunts who came to the village to be busy, even the Liu family was shocked. Seeing that the deed fell into Lin Baoru's hands, she was about to jump up.
Even if she doesn't farm the fields, she knows that the two acres of land in the west of the village are fertile land, and if she wants to sell it, she can sell it for some silver. What's more, where are the valuable objects in the whole old mansion now, and if there is, there are only these fields and fruit trees left.
Now that the old man has sent the fields out, is it possible that she wants to drink the northwest wind with him for the rest of her life?
As soon as he thought of this, Liu really couldn't sit still.
She didn't dare to make a fuss, so she could only wipe her tears with red eyes, "You bad old man, you gave away all the fields, how can we live in the future!" ”
However, Lin Laohan didn't look at her, and only said inarticulately: "There is food...... Fruit Tree ...... Enough ......."
He said a few words intermittently, and it was enough for everyone to understand his plan. This is the old man's mind is still clear, and he feels that he owes his granddaughter......
For a while, some people naturally sighed in their hearts. More people have compassion and sigh quietly.
However, everyone knows that it is not to block the second room at the moment, so even if some people feel embarrassed, they are all talking about the festive words of the group. By the way, say a few words about Lin Laohan's distress for his granddaughter. 2018
As for the Liu family, who can wipe his tears, no one wants to deal with it.
That is, Aunt Ma saw her wiping her tears, and said: "On the day of great joy, what does the aunt do when she wipes her tears?" Uncle Lin is not afraid that he will not eat or drink in the future, what are you worried about? ”
"That's right, besides, didn't you deduct the bride price of eight taels of silver from Ren Baoru? There's that silver, and you and your uncle will spend it! ”
Regardless of whether she was persuaded or deliberately used to squeeze the Liu family, anyway, it was difficult for her to speak at this time. Even after seeing the older aunts in the woman, she didn't dare to complain about the moldy head in the second room.
When the Qian family, who came to send his niece to his mother-in-law, heard this, he glanced at his sister-in-law and niece worriedly, for fear that the two of them would be aroused sadly.
Fortunately, although Wang was uncomfortable, his eyes were no longer red. And Baoru didn't care about that, so she smiled: "What else are you doing for those things, now that Baoru is out of breath, no matter what kind of relatives it is, she can't stand it in the future!" ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she naturally led the conversation to the matter of the Liu family's marriage proposal. Of course, the various gifts sent by Mrs. Liu a few days ago, as well as the wedding dress hanging on the shelves in the house, have become the most powerful evidence that the Liu family values Baoru.
Not to mention the precious items packed in the box, just the wedding dress, but let a room of women and daughters-in-law look straight.
Everyone couldn't care about Liu's words anymore, and went around Lin Baoru to look at the shining red wedding dress.
It's not that they haven't seen the world, it's that peasant girls usually embroider their own wedding dresses when they get married. It is said that it is embroidery, but in fact it is just to buy a piece of red cloth, find someone who knows how to cut it, and then sew it. If you have a love for love, embroider a few small flowers on the sleeves to suit the occasion.
If there are more, then they can't bear it. First, needlework and thread cost money, and secondly, every family is like this.
Therefore, at present, Lin Baoru's decent wedding dress, which is embroidered and golden, has become a rarity.
Some discerning women looked at the big embroidery on the top and said in surprise: "This embroidery is amazing, it's not like a random embroidery, you see this stitch is dense, since it is even and there is no frizz......
"Look at the stitches, look at the big peony flower. Rui, it looks like it was sewn with gold thread. There are also pomegranate flowers with many seeds and many blessings on the side, and the hooked line is not just a flower line. ”
But Rao is no matter how strange everyone thinks, they don't even get their hands on it. After all, it is a wedding dress, and before the bride wears it, they touch it around, but they lose their duty.
A room full of people talked lively, but no one cared about the black-faced sulking Liu anymore.
It wasn't until it was late that everyone made an appointment to come early in the morning to see off their relatives, and then they went home.
At this time, several people placed Liu and Lin Laohan in the wing room.
Wang sent a few Cairu to sleep, and asked his son to take a second look at the newly bought meat and vegetables covered in the stove, so as not to be slipped into the stove room by the cats and taken away.
Then, she pulled her daughter into the house.
Xu felt that catching up with Ming'er was a good day for his daughter, so Wang, who had always been saving, lit two oil lamps for the first time. Even in the bathroom, she lit one.
"Speaking of which, the last time my mother washed your hair, it was last winter...... "Wang recalled while helping his daughter loosen her hair, "It was still cold at that time!" ”
Lin Baoru saw that the Wang family was talking about the past, so she laughed, "It is estimated that at that time, I was the only one in the whole village who could wash my hair with hot water." ”
In fact, at that time, Lin Baoru knew that crop households saved more firewood. After all, when the farm is slack, the firewood saved can also be exchanged for copper plates.
Pushing it further, when she first crossed over, she clearly knew from her original memory that not every household could use hot water to heat the kang in this year. Many times, even in the winter, the big guys will drink cold water.
Like children on the edge of the ditch, casually chiseling ice to quench their thirst, it is a common thing.
That is, some pregnant women, or daughters-in-law in confinement, can eat and drink hot. And even then, when the kang is burned at home, it is only burned on the side of the kang head of the pregnant woman or the daughter-in-law who has just given birth.
Wang was reluctant at first, but she couldn't bear to watch her daughter scrub with cold water every day, so she later acquiesced to let her boil hot water and wash her hair every day. Foot.
Later, after the family followed her eldest daughter to love Jie, she simply instructed Cairu to keep a few of them, and always leave hot water in the pot at night in the future.
In fact, the Wang family has never thought about how his daughter suddenly began to be so exquisite. You know, before that, the girl was like her, she could barely make a living, so why would she care about the appearance?
Although she was a little confused, she didn't ask. She just thinks that her daughter is getting older, and she is becoming more and more handsome, and she can't stand the dirty appearance every day.
But now, seeing that his children are clean and clean, and they stand in the crowd one by one, they are white and likable, and Wang still thinks that this change is excellent.
