"Milky?" Lin Shuying ate her meal absentmindedly, her attention completely focused on the gossip from the table next to her. She ended up sipping the chicken she was given. Of course, the other children were doing the same thing, eating their food quietly, afraid that any noise would prevent them from hearing what was being said at the next table.
"What's wrong?" Is the boiled chicken cut too small? Yulan is such a stingy girl.
"Was your marriage also so complicated before?" The neighbors were already talking about their child's haircut party, but to Lin Shuying, it sounded more complicated than doing a physics test paper.
"How is that possible? When we can't even get enough to eat, what rules can we follow?"
"Then why is it so complicated now? My eldest cousin and second cousin..."
"It was almost the same when my second sister got married." Wu Ni sat next to Dani and interjected, "But at that time, we went to my second brother-in-law's house to discuss it."
Liang Shengdi had just finished chewing a piece of chicken breast when she reached out to pick up some fish. "People only follow rules when they're well off. This is nothing. In the past, those wealthy families would go through so much detail that it would take three days and three nights to figure it out."
"That's true." Lin Shuying had heard their history teacher talk about it. In the past, there were more official red tape, but things were simpler among the people, and the poorer the people, the simpler it was.
Liang Shengdi glanced at her sideways and began to think again.
"Dana."
"Um?"
"Don't worry, when you're dating or getting married, your parents will definitely make things more complicated."
"Ah? Why?" Lin Shuying was shocked. She was just wondering if her future marriage would be so complicated and annoying. Should she discuss with her mother about learning the revolutionary spirit and keeping things simple?
"Why do you think your parents are working so hard every day?" Liang Shengdi rolled her eyes at her. "They just want you little ones to have a great time when you get married."
She wasn't sure what Lin Guoqing was thinking, but Chen Chunhua definitely wanted to get the spotlight.
In fact, it shouldn't be called a show of force. Maybe it's more about making up for the past self?
Every time they went out to attend a wedding, Liang Shengdi sat next to Shen Chunhua, and in between her chatter, she could always see the envy in her daughter-in-law's eyes.
What are you envious of? Perhaps it's the grandiose weddings. Rural cuisine may not be the best, but it's certainly the most lively.
When Chunhua got married, her family was still in debt because of her dowry, so they spent the remaining five dollars of the dowry and invited Lin Yulan and her husband to come over for a meal.
There were six people at the table. They spread a red cloth and lit two candles, which was considered a marriage.
In fact, Liang Shengdi was even worse off. When she got married, she only had three people to eat with. But she didn't care. At least she got to eat her first chicken that day!
People have different pursuits and envy different things. Liang Shengdi was very sure that Chunhua was envious, but Chunhua couldn't say it. After all, if she didn't have that 170 yuan back then, she could still have held a lively wedding.
When Lin Yulan got married, Old Man Lin also made several large cabinets and pulled them over, which was considered one of the most important dowries for girls from Sihe Village.
Unfortunately, neither Chen Chunhua nor Liang Shengdi had a good family, but Lin Shuying and others did!
They have parents who are hardworking and try to treat their children equally; they have a grandmother who likes to compete with them for food but is absolutely protective of them; they also have united and friendly brothers and sisters, cousins who grew up together, and classmates who laugh and joke with them every day at school.
They have everything their mothers and grandmothers never had, and their future is definitely bright.
How could Chen Chunhua allow herself to be so perfunctory about the children's marriages? Liang Shengdi was not sure how complicated it would be, because she felt that Comrade Chen Chunhua would not know much more about those rules than she did.
We all come from poor backgrounds and grew up in families without rules. We are all the same.
But Chen Chunhua will definitely try her best to understand these things and incorporate them into her children's weddings.
"Just watch. You're the eldest anyway, so you'll get to experience it first." Liang Shengdi said, and then she snatched a chicken wing from Shumei.
"Grandma! I found that with great difficulty!" Lin Shumei protested!
"Here! This shank is for you." Liang Shengdi broke off the root of the chicken wing with her hands, gave it to Shumei, and ate the chicken wing herself.
"Thank you, grandma!" The little girl was not picky. The wings were all meat, so she thanked her grandma in return.
Liang Shengdi glanced at Lin Shuying who was still immersed in her own world, and broke off the wing tips and put them into her bowl.
"Here, the wing tip is for you."
Lin Shuying was just about to say thank you grandma reflexively, but when she saw the wing tips, she said, "Hmm..."
"Nana, there's no meat on the wing tips."
"Then return it to me."
"Never mind, I'll eat it. Thanks, grandma."
***
The meal lasted until almost eight o'clock, and only ended when Lao Shi said it would take another hour for them to drive back.
Master Zhang and Ma Dexiang had been like good brothers, arm in arm, all night long, and now they were accompanied all the way to the car door before stopping.
Qi Jinzhou finally had time to touch Sanni. He stretched out his hand and touched Sanni's hand, his eyes full of uncontrollable smile.
Sanni glared at him, "What are you doing! Seriously!"
Qi Jinzhou tutted his words, "We're a serious couple now! We've even met our parents, do you want to go back on your word?"
As he said this, he felt wronged.
"Although I've known for a long time that being a live-in son-in-law is not easy, you can't treat me like this before I even get married! At least pretend and give me some sweet treats..."
Sanni was shocked when she heard this. How could this person be so shameless!
"Don't worry, when I come in, I will serve my wife well and be filial to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I won't say no to your words, so come on, wife, smile~"
Taking advantage of the darkness outside and the fact that no one had come to their door yet, Qi Jinzhou immediately grabbed Sanni's hand and kissed it.
Sanni's face flushed red, and she quickly looked towards the door to see if anyone was looking in her direction. She also tried hard to pull her hand out of Qi Jinzhou's hand.
"You! You're playing..."
"Hey, we're a couple!"
"You are so shameless!" After saying that, she stomped her feet and ran home.
Her father was worried to her a few days ago, saying that Qi Jinzhou's growing environment and process might make him gloomy and extreme.
I didn't realize he's gloomy and extreme, but he's definitely a smooth talker with a bad temper! Last time, he touched the back of my hand, but today he just went straight for it and even used his mouth! Next time he walks into the house, I'll definitely have to discipline him!
"I'll pick you up after school tomorrow night! Just wait at the door!"
Qi Jinzhou didn't forget to add a sentence after seeing her running away. After he finished speaking, he saw Sanni running even faster, leaving him alone there and being asked by Lao Shi what he was laughing at!
Just laugh at his wife being cute!
