Chapter 56

When Lin Yan woke up from his afternoon nap, he was surprised to find that Zhang Moyuan was there, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Having been married to Zhang Moyuan for so long, such opportunities are really rare.

Because Zhang Moyuan gets up very early every day, he is used to practicing martial arts for an hour every day before doing other things.

Lin Yan approached cautiously, wanting to touch Zhang Moyuan's eyelashes secretly. He had already taken a fancy to these two rows of black hairs that looked like little brushes.

Must feel good.

Lin Yan's eyes widened, and he slowly stretched out his fingers. As soon as they were about to touch the eyelashes, Zhang Moyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

The four eyes are facing each other.

Lin Yan withdrew his hand in embarrassment, "Are you awake?"

It's really not the right time to wake up.

Zhang Moyuan looked at him with a half-smile, "Isn't it time to wake up?"

Lin Yan: "..."

When lying back, he took a special look at the sky outside, and it was still bright.

"Why did you sleep during the day today?"

Zhang Moyuan sat up, "Look at you sleeping well, come up to accompany you."

Lin Yan propped up his upper body slowly. He felt a little pain in his knees, which may be due to calcium deficiency.

After more than four months of pregnancy, it is obvious that the baby is growing faster and faster, and the pressure on the body is also increasing.

Seeing that Lin Yan's face was a little pale, Zhang Moyuan touched his forehead and asked, "What's wrong?"

Without hiding anything from him, Lin Yan pointed to his knee, "It hurts a little here."

"Go to town."

Lin Yan shook his head, "It's okay, I'll just drink some fish soup."

Zhang Moyuan didn't understand these things, but they just went to the town to see the doctor a few days ago, and the doctor said everything was fine, so they felt relieved for the time being.

Zhang Moyuan still had something to do to go to the beach, Lin Yan drank some warm water after getting up, while Aunt Lin and Aunt Lin were cutting window paper outside.

Seeing him coming out, Father Lin hurriedly got up, "You must be hungry after sleeping for so long, right?"

Lin Yan nodded, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll do it myself."

He's going to make fish noodle soup.

There was no noodles, so he had to roll them out by himself. Lin Yan likes thicker hand-rolled noodles, which have a firmer texture.

After rolling out the noodles, put them aside, and Lin Yan started to handle the fish.

Choose a larger sea fish, clean it, chop the fish into chunks, and put it in a bowl to drain.

Then put oil in the pan, briefly fry the fish pieces, and then boil them together with the fried ginger and garlic, and add ingredients to taste after cooking.

After the fish soup was almost cooked, Lin Yan changed the pot inside to cook the rolled noodles just now. After the noodles were cooked, he took them out and added them to the fish soup pot, and cut some vegetables he wanted to eat into them.

The fish noodle soup is done.

Lin Yan managed the timing just right, as soon as the cooking here was over, he heard Brother Lin and the others coming back from outside.

I didn't do takeaway today, my brothers went to the beach with Zhang Moyuan.

Lin San was the first to lift the curtain and come in, "Yan'er, the third brother is here to help you."

Lin Yan took a large bowl and lifted the lid of the pot. The delicious taste of the fish soup immediately attracted Brother Linsan's attention.

"Is this fish soup?"

"Well, I made fish noodle soup."

Brother Linsan immediately scooped up the fish noodle soup into a large bowl, and happily took it out.

Aunt Lin couldn't wait to get closer, "Brother Yan has done so much."

Brother Lin and Brother Lin took the bowl and the chopsticks, and soon the whole family sat down.

Father Lin shared fish soup and noodles with everyone, and when it was Lin Yan, he specially gave him the fish belly in the middle.

Brother Linsan ate a chopstick full of noodles and exclaimed, "The noodles are really strong."

Father Lin also said: "This fish soup is also very fresh."

Lin Yan had a good appetite today, and he ate two big bowls in a row until he was full in the end.

Zhang Moyuan walked with him in the yard, talking about the beach while walking.

"Can we sow rice in April next year?"

"It's hard to say, I will try my best."

When Zhang Moyuan said that, Lin Yan knew that it should be similar. He always didn't like to talk too much.

"Then give our baby a name."

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "I don't know if it's a son or a daughter, or a brother, so it's hard to get up."

"Come up with a nickname first."

Zhang Moyuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "You should get up."

Lin Yan made a serious thought, "Small fish, shrimp, and oysters?"

Zhang Moyuan: "..."

The wedding date of Du Yuan and Brother Lin arrived in a blink of an eye.

About the gift money and dowry, the two families have never made it public, and they only revealed it now.

The gift money from the Lin family was fifty taels, second brother Lin took thirty taels himself, eldest brother Lin and sister-in-law Lin took ten taels, Lin Yan and brother Linsan each received five taels.

Aunt Lin also made up for it, which was the same as Lin Yan's dowry back then.

In addition to gift money, there are also gifts such as wine, tea and sugar.

The newlyweds paid homage in the spacious new house, equipped with a whole set of brand-new furniture, which looked very prestigious.

The Du family also had a lot of dowry, twenty taels of gift money. The big ones included box boxes, camphor wood boxes, and treasure barrels for descendants, while the small ones included dragon and phoenix quilts, dragon and phoenix bowls and chopsticks.

Since life in Jiahe Village got better, there was an endless stream of people saying goodbye. In just this month, there were three or four happy events in the village, but there was never such a reunion between the Lin family and the Du family.

On the day of the wedding, Brother Lin, Sister Lin, Third Brother Lin, and Lin Yan, Zhang Moyuan all went to meet the bride together.

On the road from Lin's house to Du's house, there were crowds of spectators everywhere, not only in Jiahe Village, but people from the surrounding villages and even the town came all the way to watch.

"Second Lin is overjoyed."

"Brother Yan, Scholar Zhang, congratulations."

Someone also teased Brother Linsan, telling him to hurry up and marry himself a good wife.

Brother Linsan agreed.

It's just a few steps, just walk around. As soon as Lin Yan and the others arrived, the village head and Aunt Qin rushed out of the house to greet them, not intending to embarrass them at all.

While it was busy, a discordant voice was suddenly heard.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, why didn't they tell us about such a big happy event at home, so we didn't even have time to prepare a gift."

Xu Jianiang's voice still sounded so shrill.

The village head and Aunt Qin looked at each other, and then said to Second Brother Lin: "You go into the house first, Yuan'er is waiting for you inside."

Second brother Lin hesitated for a moment, "Father and mother, can you handle it?"

The village chief smiled at him, "There are so many people here, we can't make a fuss, go in quickly."

Lin Yan glanced at Big Brother Lin, "Brother and Third Brother, you and Second Brother go in together, and Moyuan and I will stay and help Uncle and Auntie."

To have a good kiss, you can't all stand outside.

Big Brother Lin nodded, and greeted Brother Linsan to accompany Second Brother Lin into the house.

On the big day, the village chief and Aunt Qin didn't want to make too much trouble, so they slowed down and said, "What did my mother-in-law say? Hong'er told you about this when she came back to help prepare the dowry, maybe you were too busy to forget?"

Aunt Qin grabbed a small handful of peanuts for Mrs. Xu, and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, hurry up to the house, and Xu Zhi and Hong'er are inside to accompany Yuan'er."

Xu Jianiang made a throwing motion, but halfway through the throw, she seemed to remember that peanuts are not cheap, so she stopped abruptly.

It looks kind of funny.

"If you still treat us as in-laws, don't you have to explain it first? I heard that the dowry that your family gave Brother Yuan was only twenty taels of silver, and these quilts. Last year Du Hong marriedMy family came here empty-handed, you don’t think you look down on our Xu family, do you?”

Aunt Qin's hands were trembling with anger. Last year, they were considerate of the difficult life of the Xu family and didn't ask for any gift money. As a result, it was their fault that Mrs. Xu's mouth was up and down now.

The village head quickly supported her, and said angrily: "You only talk about the dowry, why don't you talk about the gift money? Did your family give the gift money? Not even a copper coin! If your family treats my Hong'er well, we will be parentsI didn't say anything, but how did you treat Hong'er?"

Xu Jianiang stared and said: "Our family is not good enough for Du Hong? We don't even cook a meal at home on weekdays, and we know how to run to our mother's house every day. After giving birth to a brother, we dare to show face to my boss."

Aunt Qin took a deep breath, pushed the village head away, and said as calmly as possible: "Mother-in-law, today is my family's Yuan'er happy day, so many uncles and aunts are watching, let's talk about it later, you and Xu ZhijinSit inside for a while."

How could Xu's mother listen to her? After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

"That won't work. My family doesn't want your quilts. Twenty taels. We'll leave after we make up for Du Hong's dowry."

This is clearly asking for money.

Some people around couldn't help scolding: "This Xu family is really shameless, it's the first time I've seen someone make up the dowry in my life."

"That's right, it's still the dowry. His family didn't pay a cent for the gift money. It's a shame."

Xu Jianiang rolled her eyes and said triumphantly: "What do you know, his daughter is not in good health and cannot give birth to a son, but they don't want the gift money themselves."

Lin Yan said speechlessly: "You don't want the dowry, otherwise, how could you agree to get married? It's all a good deal. If you say you regret it, then go back on it. Make up the dowry first."

Zhang Moyuan chuckled lightly.

As soon as Lin Yan opened his mouth, more people came to help him.

"That's right, it's all a matter of coming and going, your family should make up the gift money first."

"Ham, everyone in Yanxin Village doesn't know that Mrs. Xu treats her daughter-in-law harshly. I heard that she doesn't give her any food and makes Du Hong and Brother Yu work hungry."

"That's right, this old woman is very vicious."

Xu Jianiang stared, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, Aunt Qin wanted to calm down, worrying that the auspicious time for Du Yuan's marriage would be missed.

Unexpectedly, Du Hong rushed out of the room suddenly, pointed at Xu Jianiang, and began to scold:

"You really lost your conscience when you said that. Last year, my parents were considerate of your poor family and didn't ask for a single gift money. They even accompanied the quilt. The quilt is now on your bed."

"On weekdays, all the money my parents gave me was coaxed by you, and you even said that you would make up for me and brother Yu, but in the end, it all went into the belly of your Xu family. I don't mind if you are harsh,Even Brother Yu is harsh, last time you wanted to throw Brother Yu away, if I hadn't found out in time, Brother Yu would have died."

At the end, Du Hong burst into tears.

The village head and Aunt Qin were also taken aback, they didn't even know about these things.

Zhang Moyuan slightly raised his eyebrows, Du Hong's actions were unexpected to him.

It seems that there is no need for him to make a move.

It is always considered unfilial for a daughter-in-law to offend her mother-in-law, and she will be poked at the spine, not to mention Du Hong is still such a timid and weak character.

Probably because of Du Yuan.

Lin Yan looked at Du Hong worriedly, she looked like she was going all out.

Don't leave yourself a way out at all.
