Lin Jiaojiao and Zhou Yanxiu's wedding date was set for 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, my daughter is married, so she won't be able to celebrate 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 a 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. 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 frantically, "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 finished her excitement, she solemnly said to Chi Yue, "Sister-in-law, I don't want so much."
"I...I want to continue working at the factory even after I get married," she said, her eyes rolling, a calculating look on her face (though she didn't understand the calculation). "Will you and my aunt let me deliver the goods later?"
I earn three dollars for each delivery, 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?"
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 kind!"
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. "Sorry, sorry, I was working hard and my hands were too strong."
Gu Jinfeng said disapprovingly, "Why don't you just say it, it's you who eats too much every day?"
Lin Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "I'm getting married soon, and then I won't eat your food anymore."
Her unintentional words left 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 avoided 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 there are more high-quality items to choose from.
After several trips, Gu Jinfeng prepared everything she needed.
The main reason is that nowadays when marrying a daughter, the dowry is not too much.
That is, things like quilts, pillowcases, sheets, basins, thermoses, etc.
Some families will add a radio.
If I put in some extra 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’s not easy for Meixian to sew this quilt. She’ll say, “Kangkang, go play over there. The needle will prick you.”
Then I will say, "Zhuangzhuang, go play over there, the needle will prick you."
After a while, he quickly got up and said, "Niuniu, you can't go up there. My ancestors..."
The old lady was 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 the children grow up, they start making trouble everywhere.
Either you overturned the basin or he wet his pants.
Or maybe three brothers would fight over something.
There's a chance 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, making you keep searching...
Meixian just felt that she was old.
The old man can hardly bear to look after his grandchildren.
Meixian couldn't help but complain to her daughter, "When Jiajia and Xixi were little, I never saw them 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'm older, I'll play with Qiuqiu, Jiajia and the other two. The three of them can play with a piece of cloth for a whole morning!"
Gu Jinfeng said, "Boys are more naughty."
At this point, Meixian sighed, "These three ancestors of our family would eat a piece of cloth if you gave them one."
Talking about the mischief of her three nephews, Gu Jinfeng also sighed.
She felt that if this happened to her, she would probably be so tired that she wouldn't want to live anymore.
"It's okay, you'll be fine when you grow up." Although she didn't want to live just thinking about it, Gu Jinfeng still gave her comfort.
In the twelfth lunar month, the weather becomes cold and it starts to snow.
When the first snow fell, the three children of the Gu family were left without any cotton clothes.
They took advantage of every opportunity to run out the door.
One after another fell down while running.
Meixian, Jinfeng, Chunhua and Huahua had 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 they are not stupid. They just keep running outside and they don't get cold."
