Chapter 19 The family discusses marriage
Lin Qingqing happily walked out of the house holding the basin. She was naturally happy that she had a place to go in the future.
Now the children were all up. Lin Qingqing put a few large pieces of firewood in the stove, stewed the chicken in the pot, and took the carrot heads to tell stories under the tree.
Zhang Guilian came home from work before sunset. As she entered the kitchen, she could smell the aroma of chicken soup. Thinking that Lin Qingqing had gone up the mountain again, she smiled so hard that her teeth were visible. "Auntie, did you catch some game again today?"
Lin Qingqing held Qixiao in her arms and said with a smile, "Well, I caught a rabbit."
Zhang Guilian's smile faded a little: "This tastes like chicken soup."
Lin Qingqing: "The chicken that Aunt Zhang sent."
After hearing this, Zhang Guilian understood. Her mother-in-law would buy a chicken for her sister-in-law every month, and her family was used to it.
Da Xiao ran to the well, took out a basket, and said to Zhang Guilian, "Aunt San, we'll have rabbit meat tonight."
Zhang Guilian took the big bowl with a smile, grinning: "Oh~ We eat meat every day at home, and the villagers won't gossip if they know about it."
Although he said this, he held the big bowl tightly in his hands.
Lin Qingqing noticed all her little movements and said, "Third sister-in-law, I have something happy to tell you tonight. We have to eat meat today."
Originally, Zhang Guilian was just saying a few words in a reserved way, but after hearing what Lin Qingqing said, she hurriedly said, "Oh, oh, oh, I'll do it now."
Soon the Lin family also came back from work. When they smelled the aroma of meat in the yard, they all smiled.
The Lin family was poor and had a large population, so they could only eat meat twice a year. After eating meat for two consecutive days, they felt very happy.
As soon as Li Zhaodi entered the room, she said, "Aunt, what did you catch today? It smells even better than yesterday."
Brother Lin continued, "Little sister, he's really good now. I've never seen Zhang Dayong hunt anything in the mountains."
Lin Xiao came in last, smiling broadly: "You don't even care who gave birth to your little sister."
Lin Liuge complimented: "Mom is still the best. She is the best in our family."
Third Brother Lin patted Sixth Brother Lin on the shoulder and said, "I let you say all the words."
At this time, Zhang Guilian shouted from the kitchen door: "Bring your bowls and eat."
......
In the main room, at the dining table.
The Lin family looked at the large bowl of rabbit meat and the yellow chicken soup on the table. The chicken in the soup was stewed until it was rotten and the chicken meat was sticking out of the soup. The whole family swallowed their saliva.
I eat greasy wild vegetables and brown rice porridge all day long, and the smell of meat seems like a luxury. Now there are two large pots of meat dishes on the table!
Lin Li waved his chopsticks and said, "The soup is for Ni'er, Chunhua, and Xiaosong. The others can only eat the roasted rabbit meat."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Guilian started dancing with her chopsticks.
It was eaten up in no time. In less than ten minutes, the pot of rabbit meat was gone, and the soup was also scraped clean.
After eating and drinking their fill, the Lin family members brought their small stools and sat under the trees to enjoy the cool air and chat.
Lin Qingqing then spoke slowly: "Dad, Mom, Brother Song asked me about marriage, what are my requirements?"
Lin Li was delighted: "Did he propose it himself?"
Lin Qingqing nodded.
Li Lanying, who was sitting next to Lin Yu, stretched her neck and said, "It must be three turns and one ring."
Lin Li glared at her and pointed at Song Yiyuan's house.
Li Lanying understood. The room was not soundproof, and what was said in the yard might be heard by everyone. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to discuss how to marry off their daughter in front of others?
Lin Qi stood up, pointed to the thatched cottage of Lin Liuge in the outermost room, and pulled Lin Qingqing across the hall.
