Chapter 105 Engagement and Gifts
After the two packed up, they also wrapped the child. Now that the weather is not too cold, they can take him out to play. Lin Hai came as soon as he put on his little hat. He looked brilliant, and when he saw his eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Everything is ready, then, let's go."
"Look, you're in a hurry." Lin Chuan put his hands in his pockets, and suddenly saw his daughter-in-law staring at him, and immediately said: "My daughter-in-law gave me the child, don't hold it so awkwardly."
So, he quickly took the child into his hands.
Susu was satisfied and said, "It should have been done a long time ago, and let me hold it. I thought it was the same as before, light-handed, you are a person with children now."
"Yes yes yes." Lin Chuan immediately admitted his mistake, he was really used to walking alone, and put the child's affairs aside.
After being taught by his daughter-in-law, he thought in his heart that he must pay attention in the future, it is very difficult for this Shen boy to be held by his daughter-in-law.
The family of four went straight to the park. Now there are many people in the park, many elderly people are exercising, and many young people are in love. The atmosphere is not generally good. Of course, falling in love at this time is a bit restrained, as if two men are talking about business.
It's so far away that you don't even pull your hand.
But Lin Chuan, a man who had been trained by Su Su, took the initiative to hold her hand when he went out, for fear of being lost. Then, he held the child in one hand and his wife in the other, a proper winner in life.
Lin Hai was forced to eat dog food for a long time, thinking that when she had a daughter-in-law, she would hold her hand and go shopping, as if no one had.
Just thinking about it, the girl who saw her face was standing in front of her. She was slightly plump, her cheeks were round and cute, and she looked very kind.
Susu didn't think that this girl was really too good-looking. She smiled three times when she saw everyone, and when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and it was comfortable to look at people. The most important thing is that it doesn't look too reserved like a woman's family, but looks like an outsider. When they saw them, they introduced themselves and said, "Hello, my name is Xing Ya, and I work in a cannery. Excuse me, are you Lin Hai's eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
Susu hurriedly shook hands with her and said, "Yes, hello, shall we find a restaurant to sit down for a while?"
Xing Ya said: "No need, blame the expense."
Aunt Ye also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this is Lin Hai." After speaking, he bumped into the middle-aged man beside him. He shook hands with Lin Hai, and then with Lin Chuan.
After talking to them a few words, he said, "Actually, I just want to meet the two comrades Lin, and you young people can order the rest."
Aunt Ye said with a smile: "Yes, young people now pay attention to free love, so let's not follow them, let's go home and discuss the next thing." After speaking, she asked Xing Ya who was standing on the side: "You still have What's the problem?"
Xing Ya blushed, shook her head and said, "I have no problem, how about you?" She asked Lin Haidao shyly.
"I have no problem, it's all up to my sister-in-law and eldest brother. They know more than me." Lin Hai smiled a little embarrassedly.
Lin Chuan said: "Then go to my house, you can't walk too far with your child."
He brought Auntie Ye and his wife to their house in one sentence, while Lin Hai and Xing Ya continued to stroll outside.
When Su Sulin left, she said, "You can come back for dinner in two hours. There are some things that need to be discussed."
"I know my sister-in-law." Xiangmen had to eat, so Lin Hai nodded and agreed.
"It's hard work, sister-in-law." Xing Ya said a little embarrassedly, after all, this is not Lin Hai's parents' house, so of course she has to be polite. Besides, his sister-in-law is too young to be embarrassed to let others cook.
After they arrived at Lin's house, they discussed the date of the engagement first, and then they also talked about the customs on both sides.
Mr. Xing always said that they don't have any customs there, they just want to take a gift so that it looks better.
Susu immediately asked, "What do you need for a gift?"
Aunt Ye said, "It's almost the same as here, what did you have at the time?"
"I didn't take it, I just got married, and Lin Chuan has less vacation." Su Su Jin told the truth, Lin Chuan felt a little guilty holding the child.
Aunt Ye nodded, and Mr. Xing said, "Since it's a military family, let's keep things simple, and don't let people find out what's wrong."
He came here at that sensitive time, so he was very careful about this kind of thing. Lin Chuan thanked someone for understanding him, so he said, "Do what you want to do." When a girl gets engaged for the first time, she always has to do something. If her daughter-in-law loses, she can't lose another one.
Aunt Ye said: "Well, if you want to get a gift, you can prepare 99 yuan, then buy two sets of clothes, and buy a watch. When you get married, you will give another 100 yuan, and then another Just buy something. Where they live, they can rent a house by themselves, just close to where the two of them work.”
Really happy enough, Susu immediately said: "What are you doing renting a house, Lin Hai has saved some money to buy a house now. Let him buy a sewing machine, my family doesn't have what they have, otherwise I can make something A bit exhausting."
"Our Aya is a little stupid."
"It's alright, Lin Hai will be there. Look, the little clothes, trousers, shoes, and quilts that our children wear are all made by him."
"What, what a coincidence for a boy, I always thought it was you who did it. This is too beautiful, and there are so many."
"He used to pick up cloth heads to make when he was working in a garment factory, and he still has a few small skirts to wear next summer."
"It's all colorful, like a girl's clothes."
"Lin Haite likes his little niece. He didn't expect to be born as a son, but everything is done and can only be used."
The two women said while watching, and then Lin Chuan said, "I'm going to buy vegetables and cook."
"Go, buy more." It's good for everyone to have a meal together, and it will be in-laws in the future.
Lin Chuan was already very familiar with the position of the head of the family. Susu naturally wanted to help, so Aunt Ye watched the child and she also entered the kitchen. After a while, Lin Hai and Xing Ya came back, and Xing Ya came to help, but asked Su Su to let Lin Hai go around with her. So, they went to the backyard, where there were coriander, cabbage.
They also picked some small coriander. Susu ran to the window curiously to take a look, then returned to the kitchen and said, "Your brother is so good at talking, I've never seen him talk like this before."
"yes?"
"Yeah, yeah, by the way, now there are five dishes, and one more will be enough?" This blind date is probably the easiest in this era, refusing to say that if it was someone else's family, all seven aunts and eight aunts would be invited. , at least three or five tables together.
But there were only the two of them on the Lin family's side, and Auntie Ye and his wife there.
After frying another peanut, the table is set.
Everyone picked up the table to eat, and Lin Chuan also brought wine.
Lin Hai would have had some drinks if he was with his eldest brother, but today he stopped drinking at all, so the new son-in-law naturally had to dress up. Xing Ya, who is on the side, is also diligent in her work, and has a lot of work in her eyes.
At this dinner table, everyone will talk about how to take gifts, but it is a bit difficult to set the time. Because if Lin's father and Lin's mother come over to clean up Qiu'er, it will take a long time.
But at this time, Xing Ya said, "Otherwise, we will go to the village. After all, your parents haven't seen me, and they don't know what I look like. We'll take gifts over there, and we'll just have to come back."
"This is a good way, do you have time?" Susu agreed, so that they don't have to toss back and forth with the old people, and they can also see the villagers and elders. Getting engaged in a village is also very important, just like getting married.
"Then, it's quite far." Lin Hai glanced at his sister-in-law, he was afraid that other girls would look down on their house when they went back.
Susu said solemnly: "It's quite far, you won't go back in your life?"
This sentence was quite harsh, and Lin Chuan glared at Lin Hai, and he immediately said, "Then go home and have a look. My home is in the countryside, and I have two younger brothers."
Xing Ya nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask for leave recently. Are you free?"
"Yes." After Lin Hai finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head to eat. He suddenly felt that he was no match for his sister-in-law. She obviously didn't dislike the one who married into their family, but at this time he actually disliked the home where he had lived for nearly 20 years, which was really unfilial.
Aunt Ye didn't pick it up. Lin Hai thought this just to take Xing Ya very seriously. They should be happy as their maiden's family. So, after everyone finished eating, Lin Hai sent Xing Ya back.
On the way, Xing Ya said: "Comrade Lin Hai, although you attach great importance to me, I am very happy. But my family is also from the countryside. I lived in the countryside for a while when I was a child. I don't look down on the working people. Don't make me It seems so noble."
"I was wrong about this today, I admit it."
"I think your sister-in-law taught you the right lesson today. You should apologize to your sister-in-law and brother when you go back."
"Yes, you are right, I will definitely apologize when I go back."
Then get beat up.
Xing Ya entered the dormitory and waved at him, Lin Hai felt that he was too immature, as a man, he didn't know as much as a girl. So after returning home, I glanced at Susu carefully, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I did something wrong just now. Aya has already educated me, and I was a little bit floating as soon as I left the village."
"You also know that you are floating, do you think one day that your parents can't do anything, and then you won't return to the village for the rest of your life?" Lin Chuan threw the water scoop aside, rolled up his sleeves, and came up.
Lin Hai hurriedly moved to the other side of the table and said, "Brother, if you have something to say, say it well, and civilized people don't do it."
"Who is a civilized person? If I beat you today, it will hurt you. Sooner or later, you will forget who your ancestors are." Lin Chuan still can't catch his younger brother, he will grab the collar of the person as soon as he reaches out his hand. Grab it and lift it up.
Susu didn't think that Lin Chuan was really fighting, and just thought he was joking. Fortunately, the child fell asleep in the house, and he couldn't see this Quan Wuxing. But she was taken aback and said quickly, "Don't hit me." Then she saw Lin Chuan give her brother a slap in the neck, and he shrank his neck and said, "Brother, I don't dare, don't slap your face. ."
"..." At this time, he was still thinking about his face, was he afraid of being seen by Xing Ya?
"I'm beating you for your parents." Lin Chuan took two more puffs, and he didn't seem to be relieved.
"Then why don't you let Dad smoke because of my sister-in-law." Lin Hai really had nothing to look for.
Su Su didn't want to care anymore.
"I'm doing it for my father's sake. You don't know that smoking is bad for your health." Lin Chuan said confidently.
Why are these two brothers fighting so hard to watch?
She felt that she couldn't hold her back, so she should go back to the house and take the child. Lin Chuan definitely wouldn't kill him, and Lin Hai didn't have the guts to fight back.
After being beaten for about ten minutes, Lin Chuan said, "After you go back, if you dare to treat your parents badly, I won't beat you."
"I don't dare, I definitely don't." Lin Hai was much more obedient this time, and then said, "Then I'll go to my sister-in-law to apologize."
"Go." Lin Chuan had to clean up the house after Lin Hai cleaned up.
Lin Hai quietly went to the room where the children were kept, knocked on the door, and then walked in and said, "Big, sister-in-law, I just did something wrong, why don't you beat me too?"
"You don't need to fight. I said before that Lin Donghe made such a mistake, so he is not equal in marriage. No matter how noble or despised the woman you are looking for, that is your home, you can't be your own. Look down on yourself."
"I know it's wrong, Aya doesn't look down on our family."
"So, you're not as transparent as other girls. If she really doesn't like it, don't order this kiss. Even your parents don't like it. Do you think she can like you?"
"Well, sister-in-law, what you said makes sense."
Lin Hai decided to change it later, but he still wanted to talk about other things, and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you are going to buy me a house. Do you have so much money? Didn't you just buy a house?"
"I can still use your money to buy a house? What kind of person do you take me for? I've saved all your money for you, probably more than a thousand yuan. Except for the money for your marriage, I plan to give it to you. You buy a house for a few hundred dollars, although it can't be very good, you can renovate it, and your elder brother will also help."
"Sister-in-law, thank you very much." When I was in the village, it was difficult to get married, let alone buy a house, but after coming out for more than a year, I can not only buy a house in the city but also talk about my daughter-in-law. This is all thanks to my sister-in-law.
my big brother...
It's not that he doesn't care about his family, but he's not careful, he won't find a job for him at all, and it's impossible to open a factory. Now, he seems to have everything at once.
"Thank you, everyone and my family. I think the house can't be smaller. In the future, when parents come, they will have to live in your house, so there must be two or three rooms, and a yard. You can find it yourself when you have time. If it's empty, I'll ask Bai Lingling to help you find it, or I'll take a look when I have time."
Susu, the elder sister-in-law, has done a very competent job, and she wholeheartedly hopes that the Lin family will be better.
Lin Hai knew that he went back without saying anything more to Su Su.
When Lin Chuan saw the person leaving, he said: "You don't care what he does with so many things, the man has to fight for himself. Don't spoil yourself. You don't know how high the sky is."
"I don't think Lin Hai is that kind of person, at least it's easy to manage." Linshan is the worst person to manage in their family, but he is still very good to his family. As for Lin Chuan, he doesn't seem to have a good temper, but in fact, he manages it well, and he can do whatever he wants.
It's just that a little waist is too good, and people can't stand it.
Fortunately, once a week, sometimes working overtime will not be too diligent, and it will hurt the waist a bit, but it will be fine to keep it for a few days.
Because it was a life-long event, Lin Hai and the others quickly took leave. The two brought some things prepared by Susu and Lin Chuan, called the Lin family in advance and got on the train. However, before going there, have bought all the things need, that is, things for gifts. After all, it's to show off, that is, to let the villagers see what kind of daughter-in-law the Lin family has married and what kind of ceremony they have passed.
When they were leaving, Susu told them to wait until the commune to buy some food to go back, not to eat less food during the engagement banquet.
Although there are all kinds of vegetables in the village now, there is a shortage of meat and chickens.
Lin Hai didn't think about anything when it came to love, and Xing Ya wasn't too familiar with family affairs, so she had to instruct her in advance. But she and Lin Chuan had no way to go back, they were both at work.
This day, Su Su wanted to find a house for Lin Hai. She rode her car around the streets and wanted to use this half-day vacation to find the house. After all, the two of them are already very old in this era, and they should have been married long ago in the village.
But the house was not found, but she saw a man in a butterfly shirt squatting in the corner of the wall smoking a cigarette, looking very troubled.
And this man she was familiar with was Song Laosan from the village.
I didn't have time to speak when saw him before, and didn't understand why the future business boss would squat here to smoke, it seemed like he was worrying about something.
She pushed the car over and asked, "Are you Song Laosan?" She couldn't see his face because the other party lowered his head.
Song Laosan heard someone tell him to raise his head quickly, and when he saw Su Su, he hurriedly threw the cigarette butt down and said with an embarrassed smile: "So it's Mr. Su, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm fine. I'm about to go grocery shopping. What's wrong with you? What are you doing here?"
"It's okay..." As he said that, his stomach grunted, and then he covered his stomach and smiled awkwardly.
Susu smiled and said, "Then you can go eat, I'll go home first."
"Mr. Su, can you do me a favor? Borrow me two yuan, and I haven't eaten for a day. I will find a way to repay the money I borrowed before. Know……"
"Ah? Then you and I go to the restaurant in front."
How come the big businessmen are so mixed up that they can't even eat?
Susu was more curious, and since the two were from the same town, they took him to the restaurant in front to order two dishes, and then sat down to eat. She had half a day of school today, and she came out to run after work. She hadn't eaten lunch yet.
While waiting for Cai Susu and asking him what was going on, Song Laosan sighed and said, "Don't mention it, I originally packed a batch of goods and wanted to sell them in the market. As a result, I asked my friend to call for money when half of the goods were delivered. He even ran away with the payment. Now the goods have arrived and are parked at the logistics side. I mortgaged everything and I didn't pay enough for the goods."
"Such a fool, what kind of goods are you shipping?" Su Su felt that this business boss was really unlucky to encounter such a thing.
"It's a batch of bicycles. If I can't get the money to pay the rest of the money, then this batch of bicycles may be returned. I've been busy for so long, and all the money has been spent. It's in there."
Song Laosan sighed and felt that he had no face to see the old folks, especially Su Su, who still owed money to them.
"How much is the difference?"
"It's more than a thousand." Don't underestimate this thousand. At this time, it will be worth the next one hundred thousand or five hundred thousand.
Because everyone doesn't have that much money.
over a thousand?
Susu immediately said: "Wait a minute, I have it." It just so happened that more than a thousand dollars could be taken out of the backpack, which was regarded as an investment.
"What?" Song Laosan felt that something was wrong with his ears.
"I mean I have it. You can wait here after dinner." Su Su took a few bites when the food came, and then went home and took out 1,500 yuan.
After arriving at the restaurant, he put a small cloth bag in front of Song Laosan and said, "One thousand and five, please order."
"This……"
"It's my investment. If you save money this time, pay it back to me. If you don't save it, pay it back slowly."
Susu felt that it would not be a loss for a future business boss to lend him money, and he might even be able to turn it around.
Song Laosan stood up excitedly. He is also a person who handles important affairs. He said, "Mr. Su, you are my second-generation parents. Can you tell me where you live? You can also make a phone call."
Susu repeated her address and phone number, and Song Laosan took notes.
After he finished remembering Susu, he said goodbye and went home, because she still had children to coax.
As for the house, when Lin Chuan doesn't come back on Sunday, take a stroll with the child.
Then Lin Chuan really didn't come back this week, so she took the child out for a walk, not thinking that she was catching up with a family moving. And their yard is quite big but the house is small, two streets away from where they live now.
The important thing is that while they were moving and selling the house, Susu went in and took a look. The house is only three small rooms, so the guests will definitely have a place to live, and then if they want to build something better in the future, they will push the old house, and at least five houses can be built.
She liked this yard, and the house was not new and should be sold cheaply.
So asked about it, and the other party asked for five hundred yuan.
Five hundred yuan is actually not expensive, but Su Su insisted on talking about four hundred and sixty, and then paid the order of twenty and did not pay the full amount directly.
Now that have a sister-in-law, let's wait for her to come back.
But she felt that there was no problem with the house, she was just picking up leaks.
When went back to clean up, heard someone knocking on the door, and when opened it, saw Lin Hai and the couple came back.
"Come in, are you tired? Why didn't you call in advance when you came back?" Su Su let people in.
Lin Hai said: "We don't need to answer the phone for what to do, sister-in-law, this is the corn my mother asked me to bring to the child, all of which can be cooked and eaten."
"Uh, okay." In the past, it was because the child didn't have much to eat, so he would eat some corn mush and the like in advance, but now there is milk powder. Although it is a bit difficult to get milk powder tickets now, but she has it.
Therefore, it is still possible to provide milk powder for children.
