Chapter 113 Brother's Marriage
Li Jin was stunned as he listened, and stammered,
"I... definitely won't touch you. I'm not a female hooligan."
Su Xiangwei thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you just ask him directly?"
Otherwise there is no way to verify it before marriage.
Lin Shuyin suddenly thought of her system scanning function.
She said, "Jin Yue, don't think about this matter yet. Wait until you find someone. Once you find someone, tell me and I will make a judgment based on how you and he get along."
Li Jinyue: "Okay."
As for Li Jinyue's last target, before she even started scanning, a system pop-up popped up, and there was no need to scan anymore.
She has no control over other people, but the marriage partners of her three best friends must meet the required character standards, preferably above 80 points.
In the living room, Lin Shuyin and three other people were chatting animatedly, while in the kitchen, Shen Guannan, Lin Jianshe, and Ji Chenxiao were also busy.
Ji Chenxiao didn't know how to cook, so he helped out by cutting vegetables and getting seasonings.
He asked, "Guan Nan, when did you learn how to cook?"
"After I marry my wife."
"Maybe I'm just naturally gifted. I learned everything on my own and the dish I cooked for the first time tasted delicious." Shen Guannan said narcissistically.
Ji Chenxiao didn't think he was narcissistic and nodded in agreement.
"You really have a great talent. You can even flip the spoon."
This is a skill only chefs in state-owned hotels have.
Shen Guannan, "Well, you probably know how to cook now that you're married. Cooking isn't that difficult."
Ji Chenxiao said to Lin Jianshe, "Your brother-in-law is also a good cook."
"Right, Brother Ji, my cooking skills are on par with my brother-in-law's. My sister's cooking skills are also pretty good. The three of us are all good cooks." Lin Jianshe skillfully beat an egg, added water, chopped green onions and a little salt, and stirred.
He planned to steam some egg custard for his eldest niece.
There is strength in numbers. The food was ready at half past ten and we started eating.
It was a rest day today, and everyone except Lin Shuyin drank a little wine. Lin Shuyin couldn't drink because she was breastfeeding.
We have to feed Siyu until he is one year old, which is another three months.
To be honest, as a mother, it is a great happiness to breastfeed your baby. When you hold her in your arms and she looks up and smiles at you, a mother's heart melts at that moment.
But it was also painful. Not to mention the pain of feeding her right after she was born, she has teeth now and they are all bitten and it hurts.
It hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much.
She grimaces every time she feeds lately.
Fortunately, the child is older and doesn't need to drink milk all the time. He only needs milk three times a day in the morning, noon and evening. The rest of the time he eats complementary foods and drinks milk powder.
Anyway, she still has three months to go.
Then she will be completely liberated.
It’s really not easy to be a mother.
She doesn't want to have a baby anyway.
After New Year’s Day comes Laba Festival, then Little New Year, and then Chinese New Year.
Time flies, and soon it's the Little New Year.
Lin Shuyin has finished making the cotton coat and trousers for Lin Jianshe. They are not very thick, but medium thickness. They look good when worn and are not bulky.
Shen Guannan had two military coats, one of which he gave to Lin Jianshe, so when he went to Sarin's house during the Chinese New Year, he just wore a thin cotton jacket on the upper body and the military coat on the outside.
He is about 1.85 meters tall and dresses very handsomely.
Of course, the battalion commander must drive a military vehicle when he goes out, which is more impressive.
Excluding Little New Year’s Day, there are only six days left until the Chinese New Year.
They planned to go to Sarin's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
But the gifts have to be bought in advance.
"Two fish, four pounds of meat, two bottles of liquor, two bottles of canned food, two pounds of cakes, two pounds of sugar, two pounds of tea, two cartons of cigarettes. Is there anything else you need?"
Lin Shuyin checked with Shen Guannan and Lin Jianshe.
Lin Jianshe, "You don't need anything, right? We have tobacco, alcohol, and candy."
Shen Guannan also nodded, "Wife, what did I bring when I visited your house last year?"
Lin Shuyin: "It's similar to this, also these few pieces."
Shen Guannan, "Then you don't need anything. When you go shopping tomorrow, ask the salesperson and show her the order. She will remind you if you need anything."
Lin Shuyin nodded, "Okay."
She wrote a letter to Lin's father and mother to tell them about Lin Jianshe's marriage, saying that she would visit the girl's parents this year and then discuss the marriage.
Lin's father and mother mailed her 500 yuan, saying in the letter that her eldest brother asked for 180 yuan as a dowry for his marriage, but the construction situation was special. He was an educated youth sent to the countryside, and the girl was a cadre of the art troupe, so their identities were not very compatible.
Just give twice the betrothal gift, 360 yuan, and use the remaining money to buy gifts, build a new house in the countryside, or do something else.
They were from so far away and couldn't come, so they asked her brother-in-law to help them.
"By the way, Jianshe, how much do you plan to give to Sarin as a dowry? My parents sent me 500 yuan in the mail, and they meant to give you 360 yuan as a dowry, and then you can use the rest when you get married, build a new house, or do something else with it."
Lin Jianshe said, "Sister, I have more than 200 yuan on me, just give me 500 yuan as the betrothal gift."
Lin Shuyin: "That's fine."
Lin Jianshe was curious, "Brother-in-law, how much do you give my sister as a gift?"
Lin Shuyin, "Your brother-in-law gave me one thousand, but I told my parents it was three hundred, so don't give me a slap in the face."
Lin Jianshe was shocked, "Oh my god, one thousand, so much! You really love my sister!"
"I won't tell my parents."
Lin Shuyin, "Yes, and my parents said that if you and Sarin go home in the future and my sister-in-law asks about it, don't wear it, just say 180 yuan."
The betrothal gifts for the two daughters-in-law are different, so we have to get down to business.
Lin Jianshe nodded, "I understand, sister."
Lin Shuyin, "Then it's settled. The betrothal gift is 500 yuan. As for the items, you have a bicycle. You bought Sarin a watch for his birthday, right?"
Lin Jianshe nodded, "Yes."
Lin Shuyin: "That's fine. We have both large and small items."
Shen Guannan, "If you guys want to buy a sewing machine for your wedding, I'll leave you a ticket."
We must buy a sewing machine, Lin Jianshe said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Shen Guannan, "We are a family, what's there to thank for?"
The brother-in-law took such good care of his daughter, cooking for them twice a day and cleaning the house. Now that the brother-in-law is getting ready to get married, it is only right for them to help out by paying for the tickets.
Lin Shuyin, "Yes, we are a family and we should not talk behind each other's backs. Since you are getting married, I will give you two thick quilts."
The two quilts that the system gave her as a wedding gift are still in her space.
It's red satin and very pretty.
Lin Jianshe smiled, "Thank you, my dear sister, but sister, isn't it more appropriate for you to just go along? You said you would accompany me, as if I was getting married."
Lin Shuyin, "Oh, it's almost done. Don't worry about the details."
"Not only do I have to give you a gift, I also have to give Sarin a gift, and I have to give double."
Lin Jianshe, "No need, one portion will do."
Two quilts are a great gift.
Lin Shuyin, "Why not? I am your sister, but I am also Sarin's friend. If we have to take turns, our friendship comes first. I got to know her first, and then you two got to know each other."
As for Sarin, she would just give a pair of hot water bottles as gifts to her friends. Although she really wanted to give something expensive, she was not the only friend. There were also Xiang Wei and Jin Yue, so she couldn't favor one over the other.
fair treatment.
New Year's Eve soon arrived and there was a performance. After the performance, Salen was going home and her younger brother Aodun came to pick her up.
Li Jinyue sighed, "Hey, you guys, it's thanks to Zhang Ying that you're here, otherwise I'll have to sleep alone today."
Xiang Wei went back home with her boyfriend, and when her parents came back, they were going to get married.
Sarin is going home for the New Year.
The art troupe recruited a lot of people this year, so a new recruit moved into their dormitory.
She plays the accordion like her.
Sarin, "Isn't it better to sleep alone, quietly?"
Li Jinyue, "I'm scared to sleep alone."
Lin Shuyin, "You are big but timid."
She's okay, probably because her parents were too indifferent when she was a child, she has always slept alone since she can remember.
Li Jinyue, "Oh Shuyin, I'm so timid. I don't even dare to walk alone at night."
"I don't dare to walk at night. I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm afraid of people." Sarin said.
Especially in the summer, when the trees and grass are lush and the corn grows very tall, villagers often do bad things.
I don't know whether it was with his wife or another woman.
Anyway, in their village, she knew that there were many men who had affairs with wives of different families.
In fact, this group of people like to do this not only in summer, but also in winter. She had seen them when she was a child, in a haystack. The woman was in her fifties and the man was probably in his thirties.
Their village is not big, but there are many myths.
Lin Shuyin said, "When it comes to walking at night, it's better for us girls not to walk alone, or even in pairs. It's better to have a gay man with you."
"The human heart is much scarier than a ghost."
Sarin, "Yes, so I asked my brother to pick her up."
Li Jinyue, "I am afraid of both people and ghosts. My grandmother's family is in the countryside. When I was a child, whenever I went to her house, my uncle would tell me ghost stories, such as ghost lights, white bones turning into spirits, and wronged souls screaming."
Lin Shuyin was curious and said, "Tell me about it."
"I heard from my uncle that he personally experienced it. It was also one night when he was a child. My uncle encountered a will-o'-the-wisp. He followed it and walked for no apparent length of time. When he came to his senses, he was already standing on the edge of a cliff."
"In the summer, he should have met her at three o'clock, because it's light at four in the summer."
"When daybreak came, the will-o'-the-wisp disappeared. My uncle was standing on the edge of the cliff. If he had taken a few more steps, he would have fallen off."
Sarin: "Eh, that's scary."
Li Jinyue, "Yeah, I'm really scared, I'm both scared and curious, but I've never seen a ghost fire before, I heard it's very weird."
Sarin, "Hey, stop talking, I'm scared."
Lin Shuyin, "Saren, let me explain the will-o'-the-wisp to you scientifically, and you won't be afraid of it anymore.
"In fact, will-o'-the-wisp is the phosphorus in a person's body reacting with the bacteria in the soil to produce hydrogen phosphide. Hydrogen phosphide has a very low ignition point. When hydrogen phosphide is released into the air, it will burn when it encounters oxygen."
"Because of the strong sunlight during the day, it is difficult to be found. People only find them at night. That's why more people died in the past."
When Uncle Li Jinyue was a child, it should have been thirty years ago, the New China had not yet been established, there were wars every day, and there were many corpses.
After listening to this, Sarin said, "Now that you said that, I don't think I'm afraid anymore."
Lin Shuyin: “Right.”
Li Jinyue, "Do you want to listen to those two?"
"hear."
Sarenda said, she was both afraid and wanted to listen.
