Compared to the farce in the Ye family, Su Yuhe's side was filled with joy.
The old lady's legs have regained feeling and can stretch and retract. Shi Kangyuan said that in ten days or half a month, she should be able to get off the kang and stand.
Then try walking slowly.
The old lady touched her leg and sighed, "I'm over 60 now. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to have the chance to stand up again. I have no regrets in my death!"
Jiang Lin frowned: "Grandmother?"
Ye Yunshu: "Mother, don't say such things. Brother Lin is ready to start a family, and you still have great-grandchildren to hold."
"Speaking of marriage, it's time to prepare now, Brother Lin," the old lady looked at Jiang Lin, "What do your in-laws say?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said, "The weather is good in May, so I'll go get the marriage certificate and hold the wedding. I'll buy the three turns and one ring, and I've already saved up the betrothal gifts."
The old lady recalled the past and smiled: "Do you know what your grandfather gave me as a betrothal gift?"
Ye Yunshu smiled: "That must be very generous."
"Of course," the old lady recalled with a smile. "It was 1935. Our Jiang family had been in business for generations. Later, to escape the war, we returned to the village and bought land."
The old lady still remembers her own betrothal gift: "The betrothal gift your grandfather gave was truly the highest in the area! Agate, silk, gold, silver, treasures, jade, cattle, sheep, and fields..."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Grandfather is amazing."
The old lady asked: "How much money did you prepare for the betrothal gift?"
Jiang Lin: "I have over 2,000 here. After buying the three spins and one ring, there should be 2,000 left. I plan to give it all to Yuhe."
"It's too little." The old lady frowned, "It's not even a fraction of what your grandfather gave me as a wife."
Ye Yunshu smiled: "The situation is different now. Being able to produce a three-turn and one-ring gun is already very prestigious!"
The old lady sighed and said that it was indeed the case.
"Hey, Lin, please renovate your room. The cabinets inside are all old. Find someone to build a big wardrobe and two tables."
Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment: "I really didn't expect that I should build a cabinet."
It is already more than March, and there are only two months left until May.
Jiang Lin said he wanted to make a cabinet and immediately found a carpenter.
When he heard that Jiang Lin was going to get married and needed to make a cabinet, his master introduced him to a carpenter.
Jiang Lin went to look for someone according to the address.
They are all in Jinmu County, but in a different place. It takes Jiang Lin about 40 minutes to get there by bike.
The master's surname was Pu, and his name was Pu Yangbo.
When Jiang Lin arrived, he saw only a small yard surrounded by a fence, with only two rooms inside.
"Is anyone there?" Jiang Lin shouted inside.
No one answered.
Jiang Lin shouted twice again.
Then an old man in his fifties opened the door and stuck his head out, looking impatient: "Who is it?"
Jiang Lin: "I was introduced by Liang Pengfei. Is Master Pu here?"
Pu Yangbo laughed when he heard Liang Pengfei: "Old man Liang is not dead yet?"
Jiang Lin was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Since he introduced you, come in."
Jiang Lin entered the inner room and found that there was not a single intact thing in the room, even the headboard of the kang had a big crack.
He frowned, thinking of Pu Yangbo's identity as a carpenter, and guessed that he might have been affected as well.
He brought five kilograms of rice and a bottle of white wine.
Pu Yangbo hunched over, without even glancing at the things he brought, and poured a bowl of water for Jiang Lin: "There's only water at home, so make do with it, young man."
The bowls all have gaps.
Jiang Lin picked it up and took a sip without any concern.
Pu Yangbo: "Tell me, what did Old Liang ask you to do?"
Jiang Lin said respectfully, "I'm getting married, and my master introduced you to me. I know you have good craftsmanship, so I'd like you to help me make a set of cabinets, tables, and so on."
Pu Yangbo paused and said, "Who would dare to do that now? Young man, you've got the wrong person. I'm old, and I don't want to go through that again when I'm old."
Jiang Lin: "Master Pu hasn't been out for a long time, right? The situation is very relaxed now, and there are already many craftsmen who can do the work."
Puyang Bo was unmoved: "Then go find someone else."
Jiang Lin said earnestly, "I want to prepare the best for my wife. Master Pu, you are the best. I still hope you can help me. You can name a price."
Puyang Bo: "Go back and don't come here again."
Jiang Lin had no choice but to leave.
"Wait a minute," Pu Yangbo stopped him and pointed at the rice and wine Jiang Lin brought, "Take it away."
"Master Pu, I brought this for you. Consider it a gift from a junior like me who came to visit you. If my master knew I came empty-handed, he would definitely scold me."
Puyang Bo snorted and said nothing.
A man came in from outside and put his backpack and hoe against the wall.
The man happened to meet Jiang Lin's gaze, and his face was alert. He only relaxed his expression when he saw Pu Yangbo behind Jiang Lin.
"Are you back?" Puyangbo said to the man.
The man was signing, making some "uh uh" and "ah" sounds, and pointed at Jiang Lin.
You should be asking who Jiang Lin is.
But Puyang Bo had no intention of explaining and asked him to go to the kitchen to cook.
Still a mute?
Jiang Lin was stunned and asked, "What is this?"
Pu Yangbo felt that there was nothing he couldn't say: "I picked him up and raised him, only to discover he was mute and a bit stupid. He's twenty-five or twenty-six now, and that's how he'll be for the rest of his life."
The mute has regular facial features and is about the same height as Jiang Lin.
He looked honest and could understand what Puyangbo said.
A little silly means naive.
Jiang Lin nodded.
He went to see Uncle Puyang after work, and when he returned home, it was so dark that he couldn't even see the road.
Jiang Lin returned home only after Su Yuhe and the others had finished their meal.
Su Yuhe asked him, "Where have you been? Why didn't you come home after dark?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find the master craftsman to make a cabinet."
"Why are you hitting the cabinet?"
"marry."
Su Yuhe blinked: "There are still carpenters now?"
"Yes," Jiang Lin paused.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Lin was a little annoyed: "That old master was introduced by my master. I also asked around and he is indeed a famous carpenter, but he is unwilling to help."
Su Yuhe: "Did you say why you didn't want to? As long as it's not impossible to move, why not come a few more times to check it out? Even Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang three times. Or maybe change your master?"
Jiang Lin wanted the best carpenter and didn't want to let Su Yuhe down in these areas.
The next day, I went to Puyang Bo's house again.
The night before yesterday, Su Yuhe wrapped the sweet potatoes in flour paste and fried a large pot of sweet potatoes.
It tastes very crispy.
He packed some on the way.
Pu Yangbo didn't expect him to come again after being rejected: "Young man, did Old Man Liang teach you? Why are you here again?"
Jiang Lin: "Master Pu, I really want you to help me make a cabinet."
Puyang Bo: "Fuck, no fight!"
Jiang Lin took out the sweet potatoes and said, "This is the sweet potato my boyfriend fried. Try it."
