Chapter 69 Returning to My Mother's Home

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Okay, big sister." She really likes her parents-in-law who don't force her to have a baby.

After chatting with Sister Shen and her husband for a while, Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan returned to the guesthouse.

the next day.

Shen Guannan and Lin Shuyin, the two idle people, went for a walk around, went to Shichahai, went to Peking University Gate, climbed the Great Wall, and at noon they went to sit at Shen Guannan's uncle's house.

I didn't see his cousins. The two cousins ​​were in school, and his cousins ​​got married and moved out.

Having seven children is not easy.

"Guannan, Fengnian is doing well, right?" asked his aunt Feng Ling.

Shen Guannan, "He's very enthusiastic about herding cattle. He's become good friends with the captain's son, so the tasks assigned to him are all easy."

His aunt said, "Okay, then I'm relieved."

They didn't stay long and came out after chatting for a while. My uncle and aunt had to go to work in the afternoon, so they didn't want to disturb their rest.

"Guannan has also married. He has really grown up." Feng Ling sighed.

Uncle Zhao Qiang said, "What you said is wrong. Guan Nan is so old now. He should get married at the age of 26 or 27."

Feng Ling: "Now that Guannan is married, only Yongjing is left. When Yongjing is married, my elder sister and her husband will have completed their mission."

"My eldest sister and brother-in-law are lucky, they only have one child who hasn't started a family yet. But there are still three children in our family who haven't started a family yet." He sighed after saying this.

Zhao Qiang, "Take a break and don't worry about things far away. Caiyun and Caixia haven't graduated yet. Let's talk about it after they graduate and start working."

Right now, it’s not marriage that’s important, it’s work that’s important.

Speaking of work, Feng Ling sighed again.

In the following week, Shen Guannan and Lin Shuyin almost traveled all over the capital. They climbed the Great Wall, visited Shichahai, visited Peking University and Tsinghua University, went to Tiananmen Square, ate roast duck, and also went to Lao Mo Restaurant.

It's time to change places.

Back to my mother's home in Sichuan Province!

Inside the train station, Shen's mother was reluctant to leave her son, "I don't know when he will be able to come back."

Father Shen said, "Don't worry, you will be able to see your son next year when your daughter-in-law gives birth."

Shen's mother gave the job to her daughter Shen Yongjing, or you could say she retired, as she had reached age anyway.

When Shen's mother heard this, she said, "You want me to take care of the child."

Father Shen, "Yes, they are far away in Mongolia and both work. They have no one to help them when they have a baby."

Shen's mother said, "I'll stay for half a year at most." She suddenly didn't miss her son that much.

on the train.

Lin Shuyin said to Shen Guannan, "Let's stay in Sichuan Province for three days and then go back to the army." There was nothing good to stay in her home.

Shen Guannan smiled, "It's your mother's family, you can make the arrangements."

At this time, Sichuan Province.

Lin family.

Lin Jianye asked, "Mom and Dad, when will Shuyin and her boyfriend come over? Will they be able to get married in time for me?"

He will hold a wedding banquet in four days.

Lin's mother said, "I don't know. According to the time mentioned in the letter, they should arrive in the next two days, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"You can get married in time."

Lin Shuyi, "My second sister can't attend my wedding."

She and her partner plan to hold their wedding banquet this winter and get their marriage certificate next year.

Mother Lin said, "Of course. Your second sister and her husband are in Meng Province. It's so far away. It's not easy to go back and forth."

Lin Shuyi, "Mom, just tell me how much dowry you and my second brother-in-law want." Her boyfriend wanted 500 yuan as a dowry.

She didn't want any dowry, or asked her daughter-in-law to collect it for her. After they got married, she said it was too late to ask for a dowry.

Shuyin said in the letter that the betrothal gift was given to her and she took it.

Lin's mother said, "You are a kid, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Lin Shuyi said, "Mom, if you don't want to tell me, forget it. There's nothing to hide. Did you let my second sister take the betrothal gift?"

Lin Shuyi felt that her second sister was a person who did great things quietly. She was usually quiet and a good girl, but she joined the army last year without anyone knowing.

The most important thing is that she didn’t know her second sister could sing, and sing so beautifully.

Her second sister does everything in secret.

Mother Lin thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the second son took the betrothal gift himself, but don't think too much about it. The fourth son is in the countryside in Mongolia, living with his second sister."

"We didn't take the betrothal gift, but the second son's partner knows this and will take better care of the construction in the future."

Lin Shuyi pouted, "Then you want to take my 500 yuan betrothal gift?"

This lady was really annoying. Lin's mother couldn't help but scold her, "Five hundred yuan for the betrothal gift, five hundred yuan for the betrothal gift, has your partner given it?"

"No, we didn't. Besides, even if we did, we still have to buy you a dowry. Doesn't that cost money?"

Lin Shuyi muttered, "The dowry won't cost 500 yuan."

Her eldest sister got married with two quilts, two camphorwood boxes, and two washbasins. These cost five hundred yuan.

"By the way, Mom, then you won't prepare a dowry for my second sister."

Lin's mother waved her hands and said, "She's already married, so it doesn't matter."

Speaking of the third child, to be honest, I don't know what Lin's mother said. In her last letter, she said that she was going to get married soon and then asked for leave to go home in August. She thought she would get married after returning home, but who knew that she got married first.

If you think about it, you can understand it. In the military, you can get married as long as you report it.

Lin Shuyin managed to catch up with Brother Lin's wedding, and she and Shen Guannan arrived in Sichuan Province on the second night of their departure.

Shen Guannan, "Wife, shall we go see our parents tomorrow?"

It's already 10 o'clock in the evening. It's too late. His father-in-law and mother-in-law should be resting.

Lin Shuyin: "Yes, I'll go there tomorrow at noon."

Otherwise there will be no one at home in the morning.

Shen Guannan, "Okay, let's go buy some gifts tomorrow morning."

How can a son-in-law come empty-handed when he visits for the first time?

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Okay."
