Chapter 58: The Dowry

After breakfast, it was already more than eight o'clock, at this time, the people who went to work, school, and went out to do other work were almost gone, the alley seemed quiet and empty, and the cold rain was still falling, Shen Yihui went out and drove the jeep parked a little farther away to pick up Lin Xi and his grandmother.

Ah Qiu used a clean noodle bag to fill twenty white and fat steamed buns, and asked Lin Xi to bring them to his grandfather, Lin Xi felt that there were too many grandfathers who couldn't eat them for a while, Liao Shuyi said: "Just bring it, he lives with others, and he can't eat by himself, but let others watch it, how bad?" ”

Lin Xi was right to think about it, so he got into the car with a bag of steamed buns.

In the car, Liao Shuyi sighed apologetically: "Yihui and Xiaoxi, you got married like this, but your grandparents can't do anything, and they don't have a dowry for Xiaoxi, so I'm sorry for your two children!" ”

Lin Xi said: "Grandma, what are you telling us about?" I don't even know how to answer such polite words. ”

Liao Shuyi: "When you get married, you really grow up, you have to learn something about politeness and sophistication." ”

"Don't you learn these things?"

"No, you have to learn."

"Grandma!"

"Oh, look at you kid, why are you embarrassed to marry you off like this!"

Shen Yihui looked at the stupid girl who was coquettish and cute at her grandmother from the rearview mirror, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and said: "Grandma, Xiaoxi doesn't need a dowry, and I didn't give a bride price, we are a new-style marriage, we will learn and progress together together, you don't have to worry." ”

Liao Shuyi: "Eh, good, good. ”

That's what I said secretly, but there was always something lacking in my heart, and I wasn't comfortable.

When I went to the detention center to see Lin Sixian, his injuries were much better, and his spirit was very good, because he was going to visit and have a meal together, Chen Zhiming made arrangements, he was alone in a brightly lit room this time, he was lying on the bed reading the newspaper, Lin Xi took his grandmother in and called his grandfather, he was excited and immediately wanted to sit up, Liao Shuyi hurriedly stopped him, Lin Xi stepped forward to help him, Shen Yihui also went over to help, added two pillows to him behind the cushion, and half-lay down to talk.

The family could reunite for a long time, sit around and talk a few words, and Lin Xi and Liao Shuyi found out: It turned out that Lin Sixian already knew about Shen Yihui and Lin Xi's marriage.

Lin Sixian smiled and said to Liao Shuyi: "Yihui has come to see me three times, I know he is very good, but our baby is still so young, a little reluctant." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Liao Shuyi also sighed and looked at Lin Xi lovingly.

Lin Xi leaned on the edge of his grandfather's bed with his hands on his chin, his eyes rolled, locked on someone standing opposite who didn't have time to withdraw his gaze, and winked at him mischievously.

Shen Yihui coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Please rest assured grandpa and grandmother, I will do my best to be good to Lin Xi, we will honor the second elder together, you have not lost Lin Xi, but you have one more grandson-in-law!" ”

"Good, what a good boy!" Lin Sixian and Liao Shuyi were moved to tears.

Lin Xi was speechless: Hey, this person will also be sensational, it's not simple!

Next, Shen Yihui briefly talked about Lin Sixian's donation of materials to support the anti-Japanese resistance mentioned last time, which is still under investigation, and the known situation is that Comrade Dong Baoqi, who had been in contact with Lin Sixian back then, has died, but he left some notes and account books, which were submitted to the state by his relatives, and now he hopes to be on these notes and account books. The codex left by the martyrs in the revolutionary war is very important, and it is strictly kept by the state secrecy organs, and under normal circumstances, it cannot be searched casually, unless it is particularly necessary to submit an application, and then it can be approved by the relevant leadership of the relevant departments...... But now it's a bit of an eyebrow, and we need to be patient.

Lin Sixian hurriedly said that he was patient, as long as there was hope, he could afford to wait, let Shen Yihui do what he could according to the situation, don't be in a hurry, don't be aggressive.

At eleven o'clock, someone brought a large iron food box for the restaurant, which was a pre-ordered lunch by Shen Yihui, and when it was opened, there were six dishes inside, as well as rice, and it was steaming.

Shen Yihui moved a small round table to Lin Sixian's bedside, Lin Xi put on the dishes and chopsticks, and there were wine cups and a bottle of wine in the food box, she also put them on the table, and poured the cup full of wine, grandpa couldn't drink it, and it was good to smell the fragrance.

A simple wine banquet is a family reunion dinner, Shen Yihui has joined this family from now on, he raised his glass to his grandfather and grandmother in turn, Lin Sixian was full of emotion with red eyes, and gently took two sips of wine regardless of his injury, and sent endless blessings to his granddaughter and grandson-in-law with Liao Shuyi.

The family banquet of the four lasted for more than an hour, and it was not lively, but it was warm and peaceful.

Knowing that Lin Xi and Shen Yihui were going to go shopping on the street, and then go back to the army to prepare for tomorrow's wedding, Lin Sixian urged them to leave quickly, hurry up and buy things, and deliberately pulled Liao Shuyi to stay for a while, and told her to take money from Guo Renyi to Lin Xi, Liao Shuyi relayed Shen Yihui's meaning, saying that there were several couples in the army to hold a wedding, and the army arranged it uniformly, so it was not good to bring too many things, and finally the couple discussed and decided to follow what Shen Yihui said, first with the same specifications as others, everything is simple, and if you want to add anything to them, Let's talk about it after we get married.

However, there is one thing that Liao Shuyi must do, and that is the wedding quilt.

The department store is not without a red embroidered satin quilt cover, but it is much worse than the previous craftsmanship, not exquisite enough, not festive enough, Liao Shuyi wants to embroider the quilt cover and bed sheets embroidered with dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, flowers and peonies, and also wants to embroider a tent with a hundred child pictures, anyway, no one looks at it when sleeping at night, even if the newlyweds only use it once or twice, it is good, this is very smart.

Although Liao Shuyi has received a new education, she still respects and believes in some of the traditional rituals of her ancestors, she and Lin Sixian have Lin Qiao when they are newly married, Lin Qiao and Sun Qingyong are also pregnant with Lin Xi not long after they got married, and their dowry is indispensable to a hundred son pictures.

As for why he didn't give birth to a son after hanging a hundred son pictures? This is not in Liao Shuyi's consideration, anyway, it is right to have a life, she does not have a preference for sons, on the contrary, she feels that her daughter and granddaughter are very good, and they are not inferior to other people's men!

When she went out just now, Liao Shuyi had already told Ah Qiu to hurry up and look for it, these old-fashioned dowries are not favored at the moment, but there are still people embroidering, and the small workshops are hidden in the alleys, and only people of their age can find them.

Liao Shuyi was too weak to go shopping, Shen Yihui and Lin Xi sent her home first, and then drove to the department store, the goods in the department store were basically the same, and the two went directly to the house where Chen Zhiming's lover Zheng Xiuhong was, planning to buy all the things there, so there was no need to waste time.

There were only two people in the car, and suddenly I didn't know what to say, Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat and looked at Shen Yihui, who was driving seriously and ignoring her, Lin Xi pouted, took out an envelope from his satchel and shook it at him: "Oh, this is the dowry you entrusted Chen Zhiming to me, I counted it, and even the ticket and money have to be a small thousand, which is very good." My grandparents will also buy me some dowry. ”

She wants to get a vaccination first, and he won't be too surprised that something like this suddenly appears in the house in the future.
