"Then you need to rest more. Look at your belly now. It's so big. You must be feeling uncomfortable in many places in your body. You can't let yourself be too tired. After all, your body is your own. Besides, it must be tiring for your eyes to sew so many clothes." Tian Yun snatched the small clothes from Shen Lingling's hand, skillfully sewed a few stitches to help Shen Lingling, locked the last thread, and then folded it up and put it aside.
"My belly is so big now that I can't do any housework at home. If I don't sew something else, I'll be so idle all day that hair will grow on my body!" Shen Lingling said with a smile.
There is really nothing to kill time now. If I am not working outside, I will sit on the kang and sew clothes, or I will sleep.
But Shen Lingling's belly is so big now that she feels very uncomfortable when she lies down and she can't sleep well, so she can only sew clothes to pass the time.
"If you are bored, we two will come over to accompany you more often. Anyway, we don't have anything to do right now, and we two will stay at home anyway, so we can come over and talk to you. It's enough if you don't dislike us!" Tian Yun said frankly.
Although they had some rifts because of Shen Lingling's insistence on getting married, they are still each other's best friends.
"I had originally thought that since Fang Siwen was back, you and your wife could have a good time together, and we wouldn't come to disturb you. I didn't expect that you were still bored staying at home. If I had known, I would have come here yesterday." Tian Tian said with a smile.
He sat and talked with Shen Lingling for a while, and then went home when it was time for dinner.
"Tian Tian, Tian Yuan, wait for you two to go to your grandma's house with mom the day after tomorrow. Your aunt's second brother is getting married in a few days, let's go and give a gift!" When they got home, Lin Meiyu quietly dropped a big bomb at the dinner table.
"Ah?" Tian Tian exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Defu is getting married? When will he find a partner?"
Before she went to school, Wu Defu didn't have a partner. She had only been away for a few months, but when she came back, he was getting married.
"Your aunt is the fortune teller. Your second brother is not young anymore. Your aunt's family was not well off before, so he couldn't afford a wife. Now that your Grandma Wu has passed away, the pressure at home is not so great. Your aunt is not in good health, so she wants to find a wife to help with the housework." Lin Meiyu felt a little melancholy.
Her eldest sister, Lin Meishuang, was exhausted after marrying into the Wu family. She had to raise several children, take care of her sick mother-in-law, work in the fields, and do housework at home. Add to that the great pressure on her mind, and she suffered from a lot of illnesses at the age of only forty.
Now that Old Mrs. Wu has passed away, to be frank, Lin Meiyu felt relieved when she heard the news.
Old Mrs. Wu passed away shortly after Tian Tian started school this year. She passed away peacefully in her sleep. After Old Mrs. Wu passed away, Lin Meishuang held a simple funeral. After the spring planting, the pain in her body was unbearable, and it was very difficult for her to finish the housework.
Originally, Wu Dejun's daughter-in-law could help, but she was pregnant, and Lin Meishuang couldn't bear to let her eldest daughter-in-law get tired, so she let her rest.
It just so happened that Wu Defu was not young anymore, so he thought of finding a wife for him as soon as possible. After Wu Defu, there were still two other brothers, Wu Deliang and Wu Degang.
Lin Meishuang was very proactive. After thinking about this, she immediately asked someone to find a daughter for her, and then she found a wife with a gentle personality.
Wu Defu has never had a sense of presence among his brothers. He is a rather honest and simple person. Lin Meishuang was also worried that if she found a daughter-in-law with a strong temper, she would suppress Wu Defu. Since the two of them did not get along well, she deliberately chose a daughter with a better personality.
Although it wasn't long since Mrs. Wu passed away, they didn't have such big a deal at that time and they wouldn't say that you can't get married just because the elders have died.
The marriage should be a normal one, except that red couplets cannot be posted for three years, and paper needs to be burned on the grave regularly.
The death of Mrs. Wu at this age can be considered a happy funeral.
"Don't they always say that my aunt's family has no money? How come they got married in such a poor way?" Tian Tian muttered.
Wu Juan got married the year before last, Wu Dejun got married last year, and this year Wu Defu is getting married again, but even wealthy families don’t dare to get married so frequently.
"What are you talking about, kid?" Lin Meiyu scolded Tian Tian unhappily after hearing what she said. "You don't even know how to talk. What's the point of talking about being rich or poor? How much does a wedding cost?"
"Besides, when your eldest brother got married, they didn't even have a wedding. They just went to the county town to get a marriage certificate. What are you talking about here?"
After all, Wu Juan'er was marrying her daughter, and the wedding was arranged by the man, so the woman's side couldn't say anything.
As for when Wu Dejun got married, the couple didn't hold a wedding at all. They just went to the town to get a marriage certificate, bought some wedding candies, and came back to give them to their relatives and friends.
At that time, both of their families were not well off, and Wu Dejun's wife even asked to bring her two younger brothers home with her, which was already a bargain in itself, not to mention that she didn't even ask for a wedding.
The wife that Wu Dejun has married is a good girl and her family loves her. We definitely cannot do the same as Wu Dejun and not hold a wedding ceremony, as that would seem disrespectful to the woman.
That's why they decided to hold a wedding for the second son. The in-laws also knew the situation of the Wu family and would not ask too much of them. They just wanted to hold a simple wedding and invite everyone to a meal.
The meal doesn't have to be too sumptuous, just some home-cooked meals will be fine.
"I don't have any bad intentions. I'm just really curious!" Tian Tian defended herself.
"So how much money do we need for the gift this time?" Tian Tian asked.
"This time I'm going to give you a two-dollar gift. Last time your eldest brother got married, I didn't go, and he didn't hold a banquet, so this time I'll just give it to him."
After hearing this, Tian Tian suddenly felt a little bit at a loss. Now there have been three happy events in Lin Meishuang's family, and Wu Dejun's child is about to be born. Her mother must also want some money.
All the money in hand has been spent. There has been no happy event in their family, so they can't get the gift money back.
"Brother, when are you getting married?" Tian Tian suddenly turned around and asked Tian Yuan.
She has gone out with Tian Yuan and Han Luying quite often this semester. Although Han Luying would not show anything outside, Tian Tian could clearly see that their relationship was getting better and better.
