Zhou Xigui sat on the chair like an uncle and ate tea heart, looked east and west, and was very satisfied with the layout of the room, the left and right sides of the wall hung with the calligraphy and painting of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, and a pair of peony long-necked three-color bottles were placed on the table, and even the tall white lotus porcelain plate used for dim sum was ......, secretly thinking that the family would have to do it like this in the future.

The spring equinox stood at the door, staring at him tightly, for fear that he would not be able to pull it out if he saw something in his eyes.

Mrs. Huang sat next to her nervously, and asked nervously, "Is the marriage you said reliable?" ”

"Don't worry, as soon as I say it's my uncle, won't you let us in immediately? Auntie, let's try a snack, it's fragrant and crispy. ”

But Mrs. Huang was still uneasy in her heart, didn't the Lin family refuse this marriage at the beginning? Why did it suddenly change again, is there any secret that no one knows in this?

Zhou Xigui saw that she didn't eat it, and he didn't care about it, so he ate more than half of the plate of dim sum after dividing it by two, and he was a little choked, and was picking up the tea bowl to drink tea, when a white figure slowly entered the sight.

Looking up and taking a closer look, it turned out to be the eldest daughter of the Lin family, I had seen it in Ximei's house before, this good daughter's family, she liked to wear men's clothes, Zhou Xigui looked down on it in her heart, thinking that Lin Mei was not a serious girl. But as long as Ximei doesn't marry the Lilin family for a day, she will slap her and look at her face. This is what Zhou Ximei has repeatedly told her, and the most important thing that the Lin family cannot offend is the eldest daughter Lin Mei.

"Yo, eldest niece, are you resting at home today?" Zhou Xigui stood up and smiled flatteringly.

Lin Mei nodded to him and sat down on the chair above.

"Aunt Huang has been fine lately." Lin Mei didn't answer his words, she looked directly at Huang Matchmaker and asked,

"Thanks to you, the body is still quite tough, I haven't been a matchmaker in the past three years, thanks to the cooperative breeding proposed by your family, the family has a livelihood, I originally planned to raise thirty more chickens this year, but my son and daughter-in-law insisted on not letting me raise them, let me have a good rest." Mrs. Huang was sincerely grateful to Lin Mei at this time, if she hadn't engaged in cooperative breeding in the village, the family would probably not even be able to eat in the past three years.

"Aunt Huang is so blessed, she married such a virtuous and good daughter-in-law, others can't look forward to it, she won't let you raise it, anyway, your family has raised almost a hundred chickens this year, and it's busy enough, I heard that I also raised five pigs, and now it's about to be slaughtered, when the time comes, I'll let Uncle Cao collect it." Lin Mei responded happily.

In this way, Lin Mei started a family routine with her, you and me.

Zhou Xigui sat awkwardly on the side, listening in a fog, but he couldn't interject.

Immediately, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and gave Huang Matchmaker a look from time to time, but Huang Matchmaker and Lin Mei were chatting about Xingtou, how could they still look at him.

This chat is almost an hour, Zhou Xigui is like a frosted eggplant, a belly full of knots can only drown in embarrassment, the anger in his heart was also extinguished by bowls of tea, because he drank too much tea, he suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, but there were two women sitting in the house, and a stake-like girl stood next to him, only to find that there was no suitable person in the house to ask the thatched house.

Stretching his neck and looking straight out of the door, looking forward to a man passing by, his neck was almost sore, at this time, Daddy Lin appeared in his field of vision like his big savior, and he ran out directly, "Brother Lin, you are finally back, take me to your toilet." ”

The voice was also a little louder, and the words came into the room, and Huang Mei was embarrassed to look at Lin Mei and smiled awkwardly.

But Lin Mei felt comfortable, and secretly gave the spring equinox a thumbs up.

"Spring equinox, you go to the kitchen and tell Aunt Xu that there are guests at home, let her make a few more good dishes." Lin Mei saw that it was almost noon, and it must be to stay for dinner, so she went to the kitchen.

There were Lin Mei and Huang Matchmaker left in the house.

"Aunt Huang, you grew up watching me grow up, I don't treat you as an outsider, my father is also forty-five years old, this marriage with the Zhou family, I will tell you directly, according to my father's meaning, this Lin family, the Zhou family have children and daughters, and they are married twice, so they don't pay attention to those pomp, but the six rites are still done according to the rules, but they are all simple, I just don't know what the Zhou family wants." Lin Mei suddenly spoke bluntly and caught her off guard.

Mrs. Huang thought it was Zhou Xigui bragging before, but she sat for most of the day, and she didn't see her take care of Zhou Xigui, but now it seems that this marriage can really be done. This made her more curious, just like when the cat caught, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear of messing up this happy event.

"This is also what it should be, after all, they are all old, if it were in the village, then the woman would pack up the package and move into the man's house. Since both of you are willing to marry this family, this saves me a lot of effort, and I am happy to sit back and enjoy this work. Huang Matchmaker's eyes were almost lost in a line.

"I heard that you are still related to the Zhou family, let's not talk darkly, can you make decisions for her in this family matter?" Lin Mei didn't want to miss the opportunity.

"Let's be honest, this week Ximei is my niece, her family affairs, I can directly call the shots, these six ceremonies in Nacai, ask the name, these two will be done directly today, save you to run again, I will go to them tomorrow to give them eight characters, if there is no problem after the two days of recruitment, please do it together at that time, this month is also auspicious, when the time comes, your family will hire a carriage to pick people over." Mrs. Huang can't wait to do this now, this is a good thing that can't be found with a lantern, and she has a matter on her mind.

"Aunt Huang also knows that I am still the eldest daughter of Huanghua, how can I understand this, our family will be in-laws in the future, you can give more pointers on this matter, for example, this recruitment is a dowry gift, what is the importance of this dowry, what are the things to give, you also mention it to me, and how many tables will the wedding banquet be held? Mention anything special to me, otherwise if there is a joke at that time, the two families will have no face. Lin Mei can be regarded as preparing in advance, knowing more about it, and knowing more about it.

Mrs. Huang also knew that what she said was false, except for Lin Lao'er, the Lin family was a half-grown child, and they knew how to handle marriage, so they said unequivocally: "Alas, we are all born in farmers, what is not particular, the dowry is nothing more than a few, you remember, this comb, ruler, money box, Ruyi scale, mirror, all buckets, scissors, abacus, bridal cakes, three livestock, fish, wine, happy fruit, fruit, tea, firecrackers, bucket two rice, that's all, and there is the bride price, this bride price depends on the conditions of the man's family, There are many conditions for a few dozen taels, and the conditions are almost meaning to give a three, two, or five taels, and it's almost the same, if you want me to say, this bride price is also the meaning of your family, as for this wedding banquet, it depends on the meaning of the man, if you don't want to do a big deal, prepare a table at home, and the family will have a meal together, and let the bride recognize her family. ”

When Lin Mei heard her say this, she blinked her apricot eyes, and she had a bottom in her heart.

"Aunt Huang is still experienced, so this family business is decided, everything will be done according to Aunt Huang's wishes."
