Chapter 63
"I'm going to change my clothes, you can have fun."
Lin Nanzhi said this and ran upstairs.
She got up early and was too lazy to change her clothes, so she was still wearing the nightgown she wore to sleep the day before. Because it was a bit cold when she got up, she put on a red sweater jacket on the outside and just combed her hair without taking care of it.
She went upstairs quickly and returned to her room. She found a pair of loose yellow overalls and matched them with a sky blue short-sleeved T-shirt. She used a blue headband to braid her long hair into a pigtail and placed it on her left shoulder. She casually pulled out some hair with her hands, tied the tail with a headband, and tied a bow. She looked in the mirror and was very satisfied.
She ran downstairs and changed into a pair of white shoes. Then she heard the crackling sound of firecrackers. She grabbed Wen Jiunian and said, "Hurry up, the bride is here. Let's go and see her. Brother, there are too many people. I'll bring you some food."
"Okay." Lin Nanye's voice came from the living room.
Fortunately, Wen Jiunian did not go in, so he did not change his shoes, otherwise he would have been dragged away by Lin Nanzhi in his slippers.
The two of them walked along the creek and arrived at Uncle Lin's house.
Opposite Uncle Lin's house is a piece of land surrounded by trees, and diagonally opposite is a three-story brick house. Apart from the yard on the first floor with doors and windows installed, there is nothing else.
This is Uncle Lin’s house.
Lin's father had a lot of children in his generation. There were seven of them in total, including his brothers and sisters and himself. He was the eldest, with four younger brothers and two younger sisters. Now, except for her family and Uncle Lin's family, everyone is working in Suzhou Province.
Uncle Lin's family came back a few years ago and renovated the house, but they didn't care about it anymore and said they were planning to buy a house in Suzhou Province. So the house has been empty.
The house is relatively large, with a yard and two small houses in the yard, which are used by some families to hold banquets, wash dishes in the yard, and use the small houses as kitchens. The first floor is a traditional brick house with two large rooms, one for cooking and also as a kitchen, and the other for eating.
The stairs are between the two rooms, leading to the second floor, where we also have our meal, so the third floor is the only one left.
At this moment, everyone in the house stopped their busy work and stood on the roadside looking ahead. Lin Nanzhi also pulled Wen Jiunian to stand on the roadside, and saw wedding cars pulling up one after another, firecrackers popping, and a bad smell in the air.
The bride was wearing a wedding gown with a white veil covering her head. The groom was wearing an ill-fitting suit and got out of the car with the bride on his back. As soon as they got out of the car, people who were ready to make trouble rushed up to them and sprayed them both in the face with colored foam.
However, everyone was sensible enough to just spray the bride and groom casually, mainly targeting the best man and bridesmaid, which instantly turned the originally pretty bridesmaid into a cat.
Looking at the crazy group of people, the groom was afraid of being tricked, so he ran at the speed of a marathon with the bride on his back, followed by a group of people watching the fun.
Lin Nanzhi and Wen Jiunian were bumped into and took several steps back, finding that their shoes had been stepped on several times.
Fortunately, the weather is good today, it is not raining, and the ground is dry. There is dust on my shoes instead of mud, otherwise it would be difficult to take care of my white shoes.
"Want to go check it out?"
"If you want to go, go and have a look."
The two of them followed at a leisurely pace.
The groom's house is about a hundred meters away from here, so it's not far to walk there.
When passing by a small shop, Wen Jiunian asked: "Do you want a red envelope?"
"ah?"
"Aren't you an elder?"
"I am the elder, but my parents gave it to me. I am not an adult and I am not married yet, so you don't need to give me any red envelopes. You are just my friend and you just eat with me."
"That's too bad, please pack a little more."
There was no other way, Lin Nanzhi just followed him.
But when she saw Wen Jiunian was about to give her a few hundred yuan, she quickly stopped him and took out a hundred yuan and gave it to the old man in the canteen: "Fourth Aunt, help me change some change for my friend to give her a red envelope."
"Yes."
While Fourth Auntie was changing some change, she said, "It's not that I'm stingy, but you're not married, and you're not a relative here. You came here with me, so you don't need to give me any extra money. If you want to give me some, just give me some extra money.
Sixty-six or eighty-eight, there is no need to spend hundreds of dollars, you have to know that many of these relatives only give a hundred dollars as gifts, which is still a lot, some only give fifty dollars. "
"oh."
"Come on, Zhizhi, here's the money, count it."
"No need to count, Fourth Auntie, we're leaving now. If you want to eat some fruit, go ahead and get some."
"Yes, yes."
Lin Nanzhi took the red envelope, stuffed sixty-six yuan into it, took out a few coins, added up to 666, sixty-six yuan and six, and then handed it to Wen Jiunian.
“The red envelopes here are quite small.”
"Um."
The two said they were going to see the bride, but because Lin Nanzhi ran into a friend and chatted with him for a while, there was nothing to see anymore, so they turned around and went back to eat.
According to the local rules, a wedding needs to last three days. The day when the bride arrives is the day for the main wine ceremony and the food has to be better. There should be sixteen dishes in the evening and eight dishes at noon.
Although there were eight dishes, including meat and vegetables, there were no main dishes, nor were there any dishes that Lin Nanzhi liked. She just ate the plate of dry-pot potatoes and a portion of cold kelp salad placed in front of her.
When eating, she was inevitably asked a few questions, and she just casually perfunctorily answered them. After eating, she quickly pulled Wen Jiunian away, and thought of bringing food to Lin Nanye, so she turned back. In the kitchen, she saw Lin's father helping, so she asked him to bring some small bowls and put a little of each.
He took the unused tray, put the bowls on it, and Wen Jiunian took it over and carried it, and the two of them walked home.
"You and my brother set up your own studio. You two are pretty amazing."
"It's okay, but we're disbanded."
"Why?" Lin Nanzhi was surprised.
“I plan to study abroad.”
There were three people in the studio. Lin Nanye quit and only he and Zhong Li were left. Zhong Li also planned to quit and go home to work in his own company. He could handle it alone, but it was too tiring.
It would be better to disband and continue studying abroad while you are still young.
"Yeah, you're graduating this year."
"Then I wish you the best of luck. When you go abroad, be sure to take more photos for me."
"Um."
The two of them had already reached home while talking.
There were many trees at home, all left over from the previous tourist area, piled up in the backyard. Thinking of making a nest for August, Lin Nanzhi asked Wen Jiunian to bring food to Lin Nanye when she got home, and she went to the backyard to get some and used a machine to make the wood into pieces of wood.
"Are you doing this to make a nest for August?" Wen Jiunian came to the backyard and saw Lin Nanzhi working with a pile of wood.
"Well, I think my skills are OK."
"How can I help you?"
"No, just sit down and play." After Lin Nanzhi rejected Wen Jiunian, he saw Lin Nanxun coming back and said, "Lin Nanxun, help me get two unwanted down jackets from the old house!"
Since the family no longer lacked money, Lin Nanzhi bought new clothes for everyone in his family. The previous clothes were several years old.
Especially those belonging to Lin's father and mother, some of them were older than Lin Nanzhi.
Down jackets were no longer as warm as they are today and have been abandoned.
