Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua prepared a truckload of dowry for their eldest daughter. Yes, a real truckload.
Ten sets of quilts, quilt covers and other bedding were prepared for spring, summer, autumn and winter. All the pots, pans, and household appliances were available and could be used right away in the new home. There were also gold bars, silver bars, gold bracelets and gold chains.
Chen Chunhua had a wooden box made specially for her, filled it with foam and velvet, and stuffed a jade teacup inside. It was the antique set that had been hidden under the bed for years, four cups, one for each person as agreed.
The night before the wedding, she specially pulled Lin Shuying into their room and gave her a lot of instructions, then wrapped it tightly and placed it in the pile of dowry.
Oh, by the way, there is also a car, which is the wedding car that the bride and groom will take to Shanghai today. The Santana worth more than 200,000 yuan is also the dowry she gave to Lin Shuying. This is very generous and respectable. According to the words of the villagers, if it were in the old days, it would be a ten-mile red wedding.
The first two cars were in the lead, one carrying the bride and groom and their maid of honor, the other carrying the uncle, and finally the dowry truck, driven by Qi Jinzhou. They drove all the way to Shanghai.
Chen Chunhua and Lin Guoqing wiped their tears and turned around to put on a smiling face to face the guests.
"Everyone, please feel free to eat and drink! There's plenty of wine and drinks..."
"Yuegui, where's your little son? Why isn't he here? Just call him over!"
"Hey, Erni, where's your mother-in-law? Come on, call her. Why are you hesitant about attending the wedding banquet?"
"Hey, Brother Chuanguo, drink more! Do you want a cigarette?"
…
Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua, their faces flushed, were shouting and joking at the banquet. After a round of socializing, they both felt something was a little strange, but they couldn't put their finger on what it was.
In the end, it was Lin Yulan who stood beside them, looked at the table, and asked curiously,
"Hey? Where's Mom?"
Right, where's Liang Shengdi? Shouldn't she be feasting at the table by now?
As a result, I searched the whole yard but couldn't find her.
Little Ma Jiawei blinked his big eyes, with his cousin Wang Jianliang and cousin Zhao Lili standing on his left and right.
The child was very playful and ate quickly. After finishing his meal, he left the table and chased each other. When he saw the adults gathered together, he came over curiously and took a look around. As a result, he heard them seem to be discussing his grandmother.
"Madam? Madam is in the car."
"What did you say?" Sanni asked in surprise, "Which car? Did you see the wife get in?"
"It's that little black car. My brother and sister saw it too."
Wang Jianliang and Zhao Lili nodded honestly, "I saw it."
"Then why didn't you say anything!" Lin Yulan complained anxiously, but after she finished speaking she knew that she had said something stupid.
They are just a bunch of little brats. The oldest one hasn’t even started primary school yet. What do they know?
Zhao Lili even said hesitantly, "Madam gave us some candy and told us to pretend we didn't see her..."
Just now, it was Ma Jiawei who insisted on taking a ride in his father's Didi or BaBai. Qi Jinzhou said a few perfunctory words to him, and then he chased him and followed him to the parking place.
Right there, next to the car prepared to send my uncle off, was squatting Liang Shengdi.
Qi Jinzhou was busy coaxing his son, and the truck was parked with its back to the car, so he didn't see her.
But when he got in the car and the children walked back angrily, they still saw that Liang Shengdi, in order to keep her mouth shut, reluctantly gave away some of the dry food and candies she had prepared...
Everyone: ...Only Liang Shengdi could do this!
Lin Guoqing looked up at the sky speechlessly, "Why did she sneak up there? We can go together tomorrow!"
"I guess he can't bear to leave his eldest daughter." Chen Chunhua was also angry and amused. "Stop talking. Send a message to Mom's pager, and also to Liuni and the third child, saying that Mom is going there too. Ask them to take good care of her and call back when they get there."
…
Lin Shuchao held up his pager and handed it to Liang Shengdi, "Grandma, look."
Liang Shengdi waved her hand and said, "What am I looking at? I can't read."
"Oh, I forgot." Lin Shuchao slapped his mouth and read to her, "My milk is in the car. Take good care of it. I'll call you back when I have the chance."
"Look, no one said you couldn't get on the bus, you should have said something just now.
Lin Shugan also turned around from the front passenger seat and said,
"Yeah, Mom and Dad must have been looking for you for a long time before they made sure you came up. I wonder how anxious they were just now."
Liang Shengdi curled her lips. Why didn't she say that? She had mentioned it two days ago. She also wanted to get Shuying married. It was Guoqing who said that there should be an even number of people on the car.
Two cars, two drivers, plus the bride and groom, two bridesmaids, and two people to see off the uncles, exactly eight people in total. Including Liang Shengdi, it makes nine people in total.
Liang Shengdi didn't want to listen to any traditional customs at all. She was just thinking about her eldest granddaughter getting married. The man she was marrying was from the next village or town, so far away, so she had to send him off!
Anyway, there was no need for her to participate in the village banquet, as Chunhua and Guoqing would arrange it, so she might as well get on the car secretly.
Originally, she wanted to get on the truck, because there didn't seem to be any even number requirement for trucks. There was only Qi Jinzhou on it, and with her, it was also an even number.
But she felt that Qi Jinzhou would turn around and sell her out to Sanni, and that he was unreliable. He was no better than her two grandsons, whom she could still control.
So I decided to squat on this car.
She was hiding behind the cab at the time. Lin Shuchao saw her as soon as he came in. Just as she was about to scream, Liang Shengdi grabbed her thigh.
An old lady who went up the mountains and down the rivers all year round, rowing boats and carrying fish, was as strong as any adult man. Lin Shuchao understood what she meant instantly and blocked her by moving sideways.
Only then can the old lady travel safely.
However, Lin Shugan was always more disciplined than Lin Shuchao. He felt that his grandmother was already 70 years old, and it was not good for her to have such a bumpy ride.
"What's wrong with that? We took that big bus all the way to Shanghai, didn't we? I'm fine. I'm just old, not sick! Don't worry so much when you're young. It's easy to get gray before your time!"
When the car stopped for a break, Liu Ni and Lin Shumei in the front also ran down and rushed to the side of their car.
"Milk!"
"grandmother!"
"Oh my god! You really came up!" Lin Shumei stared at her with eyes wide open, then ran back to the main wedding car.
"Sister! Grandma is really in the car behind!"
Before arriving at the destination, the bride's feet were not allowed to touch the ground, so Lin Shuying did not get out of the car at first. But when she heard that Liang Shengdi was really behind her, she couldn't help but get out holding her wedding dress.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't come down, I'm coming over!"

I may speed up the process later, because I am writing bit by bit and I am running out of ideas.
