Chapter 647: Almost Lost My Worldly Desires
Lin Qingshan carefully took out the camera his sister had lent him and said with a smile, "I took a lot of photos. Once they're developed, there will be more photos for our family album."
Gu Yingzhou spoke at the right time, "...I'll wash it."
He is the only one who can do this task.
Lin Qingshan patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and said bluntly, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Gu Yingzhou smiled faintly, "You're too polite, big brother."
Seeing that everyone wasted a lot of time, Li Xiuli said, "Okay, let's get down to business first. Everyone should do what they need to do, and we can talk after we're done."
Everyone immediately scattered.
Lin Qingshan, who was about to take out the medal of honor, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I don't even want any gifts!
Okay, it’s the same if I take it out later.
Lin Tang pulled Gu Yingzhou to continue pasting door gods and blessings.
The villagers were sweeping the floor, putting up couplets, and the children were helping excitedly, the air was filled with laughter.
"Tangtang, this year it's you and your partner who should put up the couplets!" Guan Aiju said with a smile.
Lin Tang turned his head and saw the neighbor aunt sweeping the floor, the eldest son of the Qi family pasting couplets, and a little snotty kid holding the paste and standing on tiptoe to help.
"Yeah, everyone has other things to do."
Leave the simple things that can build up feelings to her and Comrade Gu.
Guan Aiju looked at the couplets on both sides of the Lin family's door and her eyes lit up. "The calligraphy on your couplets is really beautiful. Did you buy them from the county supply and marketing cooperative? They don't look like the ones we used to use..."
Every village has an old man who can write.
Whenever there is a wedding or funeral in the village, they can take part.
You can also write New Year's couplets.
This year's Lin family couplets are different from everyone else's.
Lin Tang looked at Gu Yingzhou, still admiring his calligraphy.
"Thank you Aunt Aiju for the compliment. My comrade Gu wrote this. It's nice, right? I think it's nice too."
Don't be stingy with praise.
Gu Yingzhou's eyes suddenly softened when he heard the ordinary words "Comrade Gu".
Afraid that the neighbor aunt would think that his little girl was not modest, he said calmly: "Tangtang thinks I am good in every way. I am sorry that you laughed at me. I have only studied for a few years."
His grandfather forced him to practice it, saying it was for self-cultivation.
He almost lost all worldly desires due to his cultivation.
Guan Aiju was stunned when she heard Lin Tang’s words, and then she didn’t know what to say after hearing Gu Yingzhou’s explanation.
The two young people are so clingy.
"What a joke! It's fine. Most people can't even hold a brush."
He patted his grandson's head and said, "Learn more. Once you have acquired the skills, you won't be afraid anywhere. Do you understand?"
The eldest grandson of the Qi family rubbed his head and nodded obediently, "Oh! I know."
Lin Tang saw the boy nodding with a black question mark face and was amused by the little expression.
After chatting for a while, everyone went about their own business.
Gu Yingzhou pasted up the door gods swiftly and said, "Let's go home and put up window decorations."
"Okay."
The two went home hand in hand.
After returning home, I pasted up the window decorations and waited to eat dumplings.
Everyone has different favorite dumpling fillings, so Li Xiuli made several kinds, including those with radish and meat, lotus root and meat, and cabbage.
As soon as the hot dumplings came out of the pot, the children in the family jumped for joy.
"Oh!! It's time to eat dumplings."
The adults looked at their happy faces and their lips curled up.
Oh my, I wish it could be like this every year.
Lin Lu waved her hand and said, "Wash your hands first, and we'll have dinner soon."
Li Xiuli prepared everything for the New Year’s Eve dinner, as well as the first time her new son-in-law came home to celebrate the New Year.
There are many dishes, both meat and vegetables, both hot and cold. Each person has a bowl of dumplings, which is not empty at all.
I've been busy all year, waiting for this day.
The yard was cold, so a stove was lit in the house. Two tables were put together and the family sat down one after another.
This year was a little different. On the day of Lin Tang's engagement, Li Xiuli dug out the wine that had been buried more than ten years ago.
He put down the wine and glanced at Lin Tang.
"...This wine is quite strong, you can't drink it."
When Lin Zhicheng's four children heard their aunt being scolded by their grandmother, they giggled.
Lin Tang: “…”
Don’t drink it if you don’t want to!
"...I won't drink a sip." Lin Tang said insincerely.
Well, she couldn’t drink a sip of the wine that was buried the year she was born.
Gu Yingzhou sensed the resentment emanating from his fiancée and squeezed her hand.
He could do nothing to help with this matter.
He leaned close to Lin Tang's ear and whispered, "You can drink whatever you want when you get married. I'll prepare it, okay?"
Lin Tang is not that pretentious, he just wants to make a little noise when someone wants to coax him.
Hearing the gentle words of comfort from my partner makes me feel sweet inside.
"Okay, that's a deal."
Gu Yingzhou naturally agreed.
Li Xiuli was very worried about Lin Tang and waved at her.
"Tangtang, come and sit here."
She pointed to the position beside Xiao Fei'er, wanting to call Lin Tang away from Gu Yingzhou.
Yingzhou spoils Tangtang so much, if she wants to drink, there is no way he can stop her.
Today is New Year's Eve, and my daughter won't look very pretty if she's drunk.
We still have to separate the two of them temporarily.
Lin Tang felt that the dumplings were no longer fragrant and looked at Li Xiuli with resentment.
"Mom~!"
Is it really impossible for people to have a little trust in each other?
"I really don't want to drink it!!" In order to gain trust, she even raised her hand to swear.
Gu Yingzhou didn't want his fiancée to be so far away from him, so he said, "Mom, I will take good care of Tangtang. She can sit wherever she wants."
It’s just a position, I can’t let the little girl be unhappy.
Li Xiuli couldn't help but give her son-in-law face, so she glanced at her daughter and said, "Keep an eye on her. Today is New Year's Eve, and she still has to stay up all night."
This is the usual practice and this year is no exception.
Full of ritual sense.
Gu Yingzhou nodded, "Well, don't worry."
Lin Lu pulled Li Xiuli to sit down and said, "Alright, alright, stop talking so much. If you keep talking, the food will get cold."
As he said this, he gave Lin Tang a comforting look.
Women have a lot of things to do.
The young couple is doing fine, so why do they need to have a few little ones in their home?
He likes to see Tangtang and his son-in-law having a good relationship.
This way he feels at ease.
The Lin family doesn't have so many rules. As soon as Lin Lu gave the order, everyone started to move.
"It's delicious, Mom. Will there be any left tomorrow?" Lin Zhicheng asked Ning Xinrou while mumbling, before he even swallowed the delicious dumplings in his mouth.
Ahhh, dumplings stuffed with cabbage and meat, he loves them so much.
Ning Xinrou looked helpless, "Yes, eat it quickly."
The half-grown boy is becoming more and more hungry.
Eating this meal and looking forward to the next one is such a waste of food.
It’s better to have a beautiful sister.
Ning Xinrou's heart turned away when she saw Xiao Fei'er quietly biting the dumplings.
I want to give birth to a soft and sweet daughter.
Lin Lu ordered Lin Qingshan to pour wine for everyone, and looked at Gu Yingzhou and said, "This wine is quite old. Your mother and I brewed it the year Tangtang was born. We kept it buried and only dug it out last night. It's a farmer's craft, so the taste should be average. Just try it."
Speaking of this wine, the past years, especially the memories of his daughter, flashed through his mind, and a loving smile appeared on Lin Lu's face.
Time flies.
