"Dad, this is Linlin. How are you and my mom doing lately?" Li Lin asked with a smile while holding the phone.

"Your mom and I are doing fine. How are you? Last time you wrote to me saying you were pregnant, your mom and I didn't believe it. You're so young and you're going to be a mother." When Li Donghai heard that it was a girl, he said with a sigh.

"Dad, I'm fine. Mingyi and his family are very kind to me. Whatever I want to eat, they will find ways to bring it to my mouth." Li Lin heard this and replied with a smile on her face.

"That's good, hello. Your mother and I don't have to worry about you from so far away." Li Donghai heard his daughter's laughter and knew that she was fine, so he put down his worry.

Li Lin saw that he had been talking for two minutes, and asked hurriedly: "By the way, Dad, my brother's marriage report has come down, and he is on his way to our brigade. I want to ask you, do you and my mom need to prepare some betrothal gifts?"

"I will prepare it, of course. But I don't know if it will arrive in time if I mail it here. How about this, you give your sister-in-law 666 yuan and wish them a smooth marriage."

Li Donghae was excited when he heard that his eldest son was getting married, but it would be too late for him to mail the money and check now. So he asked his daughter to pay for it first and he would give her the support later.

"How about one thousand and one? It means one in a thousand. If you and my mom don't have that much, I can make up for the difference." Li Lin thought six hundred and sixty-six didn't sound right, so she said one thousand and one. No matter how much, it has a good meaning.

"Okay, then you can help me and your mother to get the money. I'll mail it over right away, and also mail some new clothes to your sister-in-law. Let your brother prepare the rest by himself."

Just like that, the two decided on the betrothal gift for Hu Yingying, hung up the phone, paid the money, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to look for things for the wedding.

As for Lee Donghae, after hanging up the phone, he told his wife what his daughter had said on the phone when he was on his way home from get off work.

When Zhao Chunmei heard this, she looked at her husband and asked angrily: "Then why didn't you ask where your daughter-in-law's home is? These two children can't come back, and as the man, we have to visit the woman's home anyway."

"Look at me, I forgot such an important thing. Give me the money and the clothes I bought for my daughter-in-law a few days ago. I'll write a letter to my daughter right now. If we send it urgently, it should be quick."

As Li Donghai spoke, he went to write a letter. He took the clothes and money handed to him by his wife, wrapped them in several layers of cloth, put the letter inside, put it in a bag, and went to the post office to send an expedited package.

Li Lin went to the supply and marketing cooperative and took a look around, but didn't see anything good to buy, so she bought some candy and snacks and returned to the team.

When she got home, no one was at home. Li Lin locked the door, drew the curtain and went into the mall.

He took out 1,010 yuan and some cloth coupons and industrial coupons.

I also picked out a gold bracelet as a gift.

Everything was ready. All I had to do was go out to the mall to knead the dough, cut the pork, and wait for Fang Mingyi to get back from work so they could make dumplings.

When Fang Mingyi came back and heard his wife say that they were making dumplings, he went to call Zhu Liyan and Hu Yingying over to help.

Several people worked for a long time before they managed to make dumplings for them and the Fang family.

After boiling the water, Fang Mingyi asked a few people to eat first, and he took a pot of dumplings to the cowshed.

When I came back, I was served a pot of pork stewed with potatoes.

There are dumplings and meat.

This allowed the four big and two small ones to eat to their heart's content.

After eating, their stomachs are bloated and they walk back and forth in the yard to digest the food.
