166. Mixed blessings
Just picking out a wedding dress, they spent a day yesterday, not counting running so many stores, every time they try it on, they have to toss for an hour, it's not that she doesn't like it, it's just that her aesthetics are different from those of Lao Wu.
She doesn't like that kind of complicated lace, she just wants to find a white, simple one, but the fourth child likes the so-called "trendy", even translucent, she doesn't even have the courage to try it on.
Therefore, she made up her mind to come up with her own opinion, the puff-sleeved wedding dress in front of her, she liked it very much, and the length was only as long as the calf, similar to the skirt, unlike the previous mopping floor, which was all cumbersome.
"If you like this, just take it," Ling Er knew her daughter-in-law, because she was sensitive by nature and cared about the feelings of others, she was not the kind of person who easily said "no".
The fourth child was about to speak, but after being glared at by Ling Er, she didn't say anything, she really didn't dare to compliment the aesthetics of these two mouths.
However, she is going to help her eldest brother choose a suit, and if there is a white one, she has already fallen in love with it.
However, she was about to beckon the clerk to take it off, but her eldest brother had already put a black suit on his body, and then asked the clerk to pack it.
"Too old-fashioned, isn't it?" The fourth child held his forehead with his hand, "Big brother, you are married, not attending a work meeting." ”
"Wearing that kind of swallowtail, like a restaurant waiter, it looks good?" Ling Er also didn't listen to her.
Hand the bank card to the clerk, who will hand over a receipt and a pen in a short time.
When he was signing at the table, Chen Weiwei unconsciously glanced at the price and whispered to Ling Er, "It's so expensive?" ”
A wedding dress costs 27,000!
plus the suit, it's actually forty-four!
She regretted it a little, she only knew that the wedding dress was not cheap, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive, so it was better to rent it directly from the photo studio, anyway, just take wedding photos and wear it once!
"If you get married like this once in your life, what is it to spend some money." Ling Er had already signed the receipt and returned it to the clerk.
Chen Weiwei and Lao Si walked out of the store with a piece of clothing, and at the door of the store, she still hesitated and said, "I knew I really wouldn't buy it." ”
Suddenly spent 40,000 to go out, although it was not her own money, she was also distressed.
She worked hard in her eldest sister's shop for a whole year, and her salary was only in her early 10,000s.
"The key has been bought." Ling Er smiled and said, "I'm not short of that money, you, don't think so much, I'll give you a ring, next to the gold shop, let's go, see what you like." ”
"No, no." Chen Weiwei waved his hand busily, she didn't ask for anything from the Ling family, and she didn't ask for anything.
But without her knowledge, the Ling family actually gave her 300,000 bride price at the end of last year, which was their matchmaker, Yan Ling, whom Wen Chunhua personally went.
When her son told her, her eldest brother and second brother had already negotiated their family affairs at the end of the year and began to build a new house in their hometown.
No matter how frustrated I am, the bride price can't be returned.
She could only sigh secretly, she couldn't spoil the Ling family's money anymore, thinking so, she ended up spending so much money on the wedding dress.
Therefore, Ling Er bought her a ring or something, but she resolutely disagreed.
In her hometown, marrying a daughter-in-law is only a matter of less than 10,000 yuan, and she quietly spent more than 400,000 yuan of the Ling family
No matter how bad the money is, the Ling family's money, what kind of person has she become?
"If you don't buy it, I will go back to you later, people will see that your fingers are bare, and my face will not look good." Ling Er said very macholy, "I'd rather lose money than lose face." ”
"Then ....." Chen Weiwei couldn't refute for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll buy it myself." ”
Ling Er smiled, waved his hand, and entered the shopping mall across the road together.
Each jewelry in the counter of the gold store was marked with a specific price, and without hesitation, Chen Weiwei chose the cheapest one, and then couldn't wait to settle the bill first.
The ring was placed on his finger, shining, and he shook it proudly towards Ling Er and Lao San.
"It's good if you're happy." Ling Er said with a smile.
"You really married a good daughter-in-law who is diligent and thrifty." Taking advantage of the eldest sister-in-law's efforts to go to the toilet, the third child secretly complained to the eldest brother.
She finally understood the reason for her eldest sister's daughter-in-law Chen Weiwei, a pair of old people who were mixed up together, and they must be sympathetic to each other.
The eldest sister is her own eldest sister, she is the eldest sister's own sister, usually don't talk about buying any valuables, just buy cheap things, spend an extra dime of unjust money, the eldest sister can grind with her for a long time, and always convey to her a concept that a girl who can't run a family can't get married.
Back at the supermarket, the eldest sister who was originally guarding the counter saw them come back, and quietly returned to the kitchen to give them hot meals.
Ling Er ate two bites casually, and Chen Weiwei and the fourth child cleaned up the table together.
The eldest sister stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the entrance and exit of the supermarket from time to time, listless.
"What's wrong? Who recruited you, can't you lose money again this time? Fu Baolu's vegetable business has gradually been on the right track, and he can earn 1,2000 every time he comes back, Ling Er is happy for Fu Baolu.
The two of them are living a prosperous life, except for losing money, Ling Er can't think of anything, what else can the two of them worry about?
"It's not." The eldest sister sighed and shook her head again.
"Did the old man you off?" Ling Er wondered if Ling Daikun had done something out of the ordinary.
"Hey." The eldest sister sighed unconsciously.
"I guessed right?" Ling Erhun said nonchalantly, "Your grandfather's affairs are solved by yourself, don't tell me, I don't know." ”
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." The eldest sister was about to continue when a customer who was choosing toothpaste on the side of the shelf greeted her, and she returned to the counter to help pay the bill.
When the bill was settled, she sat down at the counter, her elbows resting on the counter, her hands propping her head, as if she was really worried.
Ling Er decided not to participate, and was about to leave quietly, but was stopped by a shout.
"You're in charge of this." The eldest sister said.
"I can't control the affairs of your grandfather." Ling Er's newlywed is imminent, and when he is happy, he will not take trouble from himself.
"Do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing?" The eldest sister asked.
"I don't even know what's going on." Ling Erdao.
"She's pregnant."
"Who?"
"Who do you think it could be?" The eldest sister said angrily.
Ling Er was stunned, scratching his head, incredulous.
"You can't have more than one brother or sister, can you?" As the eldest sister said, Ling Er really didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"What should I do....." The eldest sister drooped her head and closed her eyes, looking loveless.
Upstairs there was a loud cry of the child, the child woke up from a nap, and was about to go upstairs to coax the child, just when the fourth child was upstairs chatting with his sister-in-law, and the fourth child was directly hugged downstairs.
"Don't cry baby, isn't it the same for the second aunt to hold you." The fourth child couldn't coax him, so he couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly stuffed it into the eldest sister's hand.
The eldest sister hugged her in her arms, patted her back, shook it, and stopped crying after two hits.
The child saw Chen Weiwei taking Chen Weiwei's milk bottle, struggling to get off the ground, holding the stool with one hand and holding the bottle with the other, and stomping his feet happily.
The eldest sister told the fourth child about Huang Liyu's pregnancy.
"Don't, you're willing to meddle in your business." The fourth hand is like a rattle, she doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, she doesn't owe Ling Daikun, let alone Huang Liyu.
For her, this is someone else's business, and it's none of her business.
She doesn't accept any moral judgment, she can usually get by in person, and she is already worthy of them.
The eldest sister knew that it was in vain to talk to her, so she didn't say more.
With the help of the fourth child and Chen Weiwei, she made up the goods for the afternoon, ate dinner, left the child in the store, and went to her Lao Tzu with Ling Er.
Ling Daikun opened the door and saw the sister and brother, his smile was very unnatural, and after the two of them entered the house, he gently closed the door and followed behind, silent.
Huang Liyu brought over a plate of grapes and handed it over: "You two eat a little." ”
"Auntie, congratulations." Ling Er picked one up and put it in his mouth, his teeth almost didn't sore, and he grinned and spit it out.
"What is there to congratulate." Huang Liyu couldn't understand the thoughts of the sister and brother, and was very worried.
When she first got married, she really wanted to have a child, and she always felt that life was missing.
But now that it does, she can't be happy.
She is close to 50 years old, she is not worried about the so-called risks, and she is willing to take on everything for the continuation of her life.
What she is worried about is that in the future, when she and Ling Daikun can't work, who will the child rely on?
The Ling family brothers and sisters treat her well and have a good temperament, she admits it, but this does not mean that they are willing to accept the child in her belly.
No matter how big Ling Er's family business is, Ling Yi is kind-hearted again and again, does he care about the child in his belly?
Can you count on it?
She was afraid that she would be wronged after the child was born.
"Don't think about it so much, can you take time off from work? You are already at risk of having a baby, don't be tired anymore. Emotionally speaking, the eldest sister is very happy that the old couple has their own children.
Huang Liyu entered the Ling family, and he couldn't be sorry for others.
It's just that, from a realistic point of view, everything is messy, once Huang Liyu has her own child, not only will the fifth child be left alone, but even the Fu inheritance with her family will be less to take care of, and occasionally when she is too busy, she will send the child here.
Huang Liyu really helped her solve a lot of things.
"What kind of leave," Huang Liyu said against his will, "I'm discussing with your father, whether you want it or not, you said that we are all so old, and I am not afraid that you will ignore us in the future." ”
"If you want it," Ling Er said with a big grin, "It's not that you can't afford it." ”
"Lao Tzu just has such a salary, what to raise." The eldest son takes a little from the eldest son, and the daughter fools a little, plus Ling Daikun's own salary, there is really not much money every month.
That being said, but he really wanted to keep the child, not out of love, but because he really felt that he had come and stayed.
Huang Liyu said, "You say, when this child goes to school, how old are you and your father?" ”
Ling Er said, "I'll give you a package ticket, if you have a bite to eat, you will have a child." ”
Unlike the eldest sister, he has an indifferent attitude.
"I'm a burden on you...."Huang Liyu heard Ling Er's words, tears were already rolling in his eyes.
"Yo...... It's not good for children....." The eldest sister hurriedly hugged Huang Liyu and said with a smile, "Isn't it just more mouths, now the conditions are better, it's different from before, I'm not afraid of not being able to support it." ”
"Auntie, don't cry, you should be happy." Ling Er put the 50,000 yuan in cash he brought over on the table, "Raise the fetus with peace of mind, listen to the doctor, whatever the doctor says, let's do it, everything is for the purpose of protecting the child." ”
"I'll take the fifth child back." The eldest sister smiled and said, "Don't let her quarrel with you, just rest in peace." ”
"I have a sister." The fifth child was reluctant to go back.
"How do you know it's a brother?" Ling Er asked.
"Because I like my brother." The reason for the fifth child is very strong, if it is really a younger sister, and she is so annoying as the second sister, she will definitely not be rare.
Ling Er urged, "Hurry up and pack your clothes, don't pull down the books or anything, go home and live." ”
Huang Liyu said, "No, I've only been around for more than a month, so it's not like that." ”
Ling Er said, "It's enough for you to quarrel." ”
He still insisted on taking the fifth child away.
came out of his Lao Tzu, stood at the door of the community and lit a cigarette, waved his hand at the eldest sister, and asked her to go first.
"You really don't mind?" The eldest sister asked.
"What's there to mind about that?" Ling Er puffed out the smoke ring and said, "At most, it's just envy." ”
This child is destined to be a winner in life after he is born.
Because the eldest brother of this child is surnamed Ling.
The car stopped on the side of the road, and the fifth child recognized it at a glance, carrying a schoolbag, and was already waiting by the car, seeing that the eldest brother and sister were still rubbing behind, he shouted loudly, "Hurry up, "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" is going to end." ”
Ling Er said, "What do you see, school is going to start tomorrow." ”
The fifth child started school, he didn't have time to send it, and Huang Liyu was inconvenient to send it, so he could only rely on the fourth child who hadn't returned to school yet.
It's just that they have just returned from school to receive their books, and the sisters are fighting again.
This battle was not limited to a battle of words, but escalated into a physical conflict, one with a small fist chasing and the other with a big fist blocking.
Both of them went to Ling Er to complain.
"Come on, good job." Ling Er found his teapot, the most important thing was that the teapot was intact, "Don't look at me, go on." ”
Look into the kitchen, cold pot and cold stove.
Turned around and went out the door, and went down to the restaurant.
As soon as she ordered the food, she looked up and saw the two sisters sitting across from her. 、
"I think you're not hungry."
"Hey, if you don't care about her anymore, she can turn the other way." The fourth child lifted the teapot and poured himself several cups of tea, "Don't say I didn't remind you, it will be difficult to discipline in the future." ”
"How old are you? It's interesting to talk to her all day long, isn't it interesting? Ling Er asked rhetorically.
"Mine was wrong?"
"When you were in school, did I take care of you?" Ling Er asked.
"You're directly beating people." The fourth child was very unconvinced by this differential treatment.
Ling Er thought about it, it seemed that there was such a thing, he seriously beat the fourth child.
After eating a good meal, the fifth child stayed in the eldest sister's supermarket, and he and the fourth child went home.
"You should feel more sorry for her."
"Why?"
"She never saw her mother."
The fourth child was silent.
When the eldest brother walked away, she stood alone and couldn't stop her tears.
