Chapter 504: Pitting the Son

Lin Jiaojiao and Zhou Yanxiu's wedding date was set on the 18th day of the first lunar month after the Chinese New Year.

Originally, the Zhou family wanted to schedule it before the New Year, but Lin Jiaojiao disagreed, "I have to go home for the New Year!"

Although Gu Jinfeng hit her, she insisted on her own idea.

Feng Wei also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, my daughter is married, so she won't be able to spend the New Year at her parents' home anymore."

"I told my eldest brother and his wife that we'll set it for after the New Year."

Considering that there is the Lantern Festival after the New Year, it was set on the 18th day of the first lunar month.

After the wedding date was set, Chi Yue asked Lin Jiaojiao, "Your aunt gave your aunt a dowry of 2,880 yuan at that time. When you get married, I will give you the same amount, okay?"

Lin Jiaojiao didn't react at first, but just turned her head suddenly to look at Chi Yue.

After a long while, she stammered, "Give me a dowry..." She counted on her fingers, "Two thousand and eight..."

Before she finished counting, Lin Jiaojiao hugged Jiajia and screamed crazily, "Ahhh, two thousand eight, two thousand eight, I can't spend it all in my lifetime."

Chi Yue really wanted to tell her that it would be very quick, let alone a lifetime, at least a month would be good enough.

But after Lin Jiaojiao got excited, she said to Chi Yue solemnly, "Sister-in-law, I don't want so much."

"I...I want to continue working in the factory after I get married," she said, her eyes rolling, her face full of calculations (actually, she didn't understand the calculations). "Will you and my aunt let me deliver the goods in the future?"

It costs three yuan to deliver goods once, and Lin Jiaojiao has become addicted to it.

Chi Yue couldn't help laughing, "Three dollars a time, how many days will it take you to earn these two thousand eight hundred?"

Lin Jiaojiao shook her head. “That’s different. I earned it with my own ability.”

Chi Yue could only smile and nod, "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."

Lin Jiaojiao rushed over and hugged her, "Sister-in-law, you are so nice!"

Chi Yue pulled her hand away and said, "Don't strangle your good sister-in-law to death."

Lin Jiaojiao quickly let go of her hand and said, "Sorry, sorry, I was working hard and my hands are too strong."

Gu Jinfeng said disdainfully, "Why don't you just say it, it's you who eats a lot every day?"

Lin Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "I'm going to get married soon, and then I won't eat your food anymore."

Her unintentional words actually made Gu Jinfeng speechless.

After a moment of silence, Gu Jinfeng replied unhappily, "Eat it if you want."

——

Because Lin Jiaojiao was marrying Zhou Yanxiu and the wedding was to take place in Hai City, Gu Jinfeng was spared a lot of trouble.

For example, preparing a dowry.

If Lin Jiaojiao's marriage partner is from her hometown, Gu Jinfeng will need to go back early to prepare the wedding, otherwise it will be difficult to bring the person back.

But because Lin Jiaojiao married a city dweller, she was able to avoid this trouble.

Just put it in the house after buying it and take it away on the wedding day.

Moreover, there are more department stores in the city, and more high-quality items to choose from.

Gu Jinfeng made several trips and prepared everything that was necessary.

The main reason is that nowadays when marrying a daughter, the dowry is not too much.

That is, things like quilts, pillowcases, sheets, basins, thermos bottles, etc.

Some families will add a radio.

If I put in some more pocket money, there would be nothing else.

So as soon as the first month of the year arrived, Gu Jinfeng prepared everything.

The quilt was sewn by her and her daughter Zhong Meixian.

It was not easy for Meixian to sew this quilt. She would say, "Kangkang, go play over there. The needle will prick you."

One moment I will say, "Zhuangzhuang, go play over there, the needle is pricking you."

After a while, he quickly got up and said, "Niuniu, we can't go up there. My ancestors..."

The old lady is very busy.

Ever since their three children learned to walk, the old man and woman have been busy like this day after day.

It would be the same even with Chunhua and Huahua's help.

Huahua and Chunhua are also very busy.

When children grow up, they start making trouble everywhere.

Either you overturned the basin or he wet his pants.

Or else the three brothers would fight over something.

There's a chance that the three of them could sneak out when the adults aren't paying attention.

Or maybe it's hidden in the gap between the cabinet and the wall, so you keep searching...

Meixian just felt that she was old.

The old ones can hardly bear to look after their grandchildren.

Meixian couldn't help but complain to her daughter, "When Jiajia and Xixi were little, I never saw them being so difficult to raise!"

"When Nanxi was little, she would stay wherever you sat. Didn't you often sit there and chat with me for the whole morning?"

"That child didn't cry or make a fuss either."

"When I got older, I played with Qiuqiu, Jiajia and the other two. The three of them could play with a piece of cloth for a whole morning!"

Gu Jinfeng said, "Boys are more naughty."

At this point, Meixian sighed, "If you give these three ancestors in our family a piece of cloth, they will eat it without paying attention."

Talking about the mischief of her three nephews, Gu Jinfeng also sighed.

She felt that if this happened to her, she would be so tired that she would not want to live.

"It's okay, you'll be fine when you grow up." Although she felt like dying just thinking about it, Gu Jinfeng still gave her comfort.

In the twelfth lunar month, the weather turned cold and then it started snowing.

When the first snow fell, the three children of the Gu family were left without any cotton clothes to wear.

They took advantage of every opportunity to run out the door.

One runs and another falls.

Meixian, Jinfeng, Chunhua and Huahua could only rush to make cotton clothes overnight to give the three children a chance to get out of bed.

In Gu Yanli's opinion, it's just a habit.

In Gu Yanli's words, "They are little, but not stupid. They just kept running outside and didn't get cold."

"If you get frozen, and you get really cold, you'll become obedient."

"Then don't change his wet clothes, just let him wear them."

"They are wearing cold clothes. I don't think they will dare to do it again next time."

That day, Gu Yanli came back early and saw the child fell into a snow pit and got his clothes wet. Gu Yanli said, "No need to change, just let him wear it, and he will behave himself next time."

Seems to be honest.

Because the child had a fever that night.

Huahua came to call for help, and the couple quickly got out of the warm bed and rushed the child to the hospital.

The fever went down after the injection and the child started crying loudly.

Gu Yanli held the child in silence.

After returning from the hospital, he did not send the child back to be taken care of by Sister Huahua, but took the child back to his and Wen Tang's room.

He said, "You may have a fever again later. I'll watch."

Wen Tang didn't object, "Yeah!"

The child's fever subsided and he fell asleep soon after arriving home.

Gu Yanli let the child sleep on him instead of putting him down.

Wen Tang couldn't help but said, "Put him down to sleep, he will feel more comfortable."

Gu Yanli was silent for a while before putting the child on the bed.

"...He got a fever because I didn't let Sister Huahua help him change his wet cotton pants." His tone was not much different from usual.

But Wen Tang still patted his shoulder and said, "People who eat all kinds of grains will get sick. It's just a coincidence."

Although he said it was a coincidence, Wen Tang still reminded him, "You should change wet clothes in the future. The child... is still young and can't stand the pit."

Gu Yanli: "..."

Wen Tang: I’ve seen many people cheating their fathers, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone cheating his own son!
