The story of a cook

Chapter 277

NO.20 Lin Yan started her vacation, and we went northbound to buy clothes and things for the wedding.

Lin Yan is very good at living. When choosing clothes, she always chooses cheap ones. I was a little angry, and told her that she would get married once in her life, so the clothes should be similar.

Seeing that I was angry, she said, "It's just over 2000 yuan for the two of us, so we need to save some money." Then she complained a little and said, "You said the marriage was too sudden. If we decide to get married this year, I will give less money to my mother." Get some money."

I said, "It's okay, I have money on me."

She asked, "Where did you get the money? Did you borrow money from others?"

I said: "No, the red envelope given by Boss Cao is two thousand, spend it, it's enough."

She smiled and said, "Old Tan, you've started saving money from your own house."

I said, "It doesn't belong to both of us to save any private money."

I bought two sets of clothes for Lin Yan, one is a red wedding dress, and I will wear it on the wedding day.The other is also red, which belongs to the casual mountaineering clothing series, which can be worn on ordinary days. Lin Yan looks very energetic in it.I also bought a pair of red leather shoes for the wedding.He also bought me a beautiful semi-suit and a pair of leather shoes.

The rest is underwear, red trousers and belts, as well as red envelopes, head flowers, happy characters, garlands, etc. All in all, I bought them all morning, and it was after two o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.

We took the train back to Beipiao that night, arrived at Beipiao in the middle of the night, and stayed in Beipiao for one night. We stayed in the small hotel where Lin Yan was brought back to Beipiao for the first time.It was in that small hotel that Lin Yan became my woman.

We both went home the next day.

When we got home, the eldest sister and the second sister-in-law in the backyard were making new quilts for me and Lin Yan on the kang, covered with red satin, with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

The second sister-in-law joked: "Guohua and you two promise to grow old forever, and the days will be better. I have made a lot of wedding quilts for others, and the quilts of you two are the best."

"Second sister-in-law is tired, so I'll have a few more glasses of wedding wine." I said.

The second sister-in-law said: "You can't drink less, and the old brother can drink less wedding wine when he gets married."

The eldest sister and fifth sister were at home that day.

The fifth sister in the family cleaned up, and it looked a lot brighter.Fifth Sister cleaned up the Westinghouse. The Westinghouse used to be an idle room, and put some things that were not used frequently. Now that the Westinghouse was cleaned up, the kang was lit up, and people can live in it. The main reason is that there will be so many guests (qie) that there will be no place to live during the two days of the wedding. .

The fifth sister and the eldest sister have already bought back pork, haggis, chicken, and fish, but they almost didn't buy vegetables. They will wait until the 23rd episode to buy them.

It is good to have a sister, everything is prepared.

After lunch, her mother asked Lin Yan: "You two are married, who will come from your family?"

"My eldest brother is coming, and the day after tomorrow. I have a classmate, Lao Tan and a colleague are also coming. The three of them will come together." Lin Yan said.

"Is your mother coming?" asked the mother, who wanted to meet her mother.

"My mother can't come, she has to feed the pigs at home, and no one will feed the pigs when she leaves."

Mother said: "It's still your mother who has the ability to raise a bunch of pigs and suffer."

It seems that the mother has some regrets about not being able to meet her in-laws.

The eldest sister asked Lin Yan: "Lin Yan, you two get married, what dowry gift does your family want?"

"No, my mother just said that we should live a good life." Lin Yan replied.

"You have to give it if you don't want it. I will give you the money when the time comes, and you two can keep it to live."

"Then thank you, sis."

The eldest sister asked me: "Guohua, are you going to make arrangements after getting married?"

I said: "Nothing to do, it's been noisy for several days, everyone is tired, Lin Yan and I are not at home, it seems that we are just here to receive presents, who knows who will come over, let's prepare meals and entertain. "

The eldest sister said: "That's fine, I guess there will be a lot of guests at that time, our own family will have three or four tables, plus the neighbors, there are quite a few people from our own family, let's prepare ten tables first. .”

Fifth Sister said: "I don't think ten tables are enough. Prepare a few more tables. If there are too many people coming, there will be not enough food."

The eldest sister said: "Then prepare more, let's not take things lightly, prepare more."

Lin Yan asked: "Can there be that many people? If there are only two tables in my family."

The eldest sister said: "Our old Tan family has a big family. If we say we don't give letters, anyone who knows has to come. Our mother is the oldest in the old Tan family. She is about to become the ancestor. The old ancestor married the old boy. All you know must come."

Fifth Sister said: "Not necessarily, none of us said anything, and some people pretended not to know."

In fact, this is true. Human feelings are not weak, but warm and cold.

I have been away from home for many years, and my mother goes to accompany the gifts in the village, and the relatives in my family are the same. If the mother does not go to the house, I also ask the fifth sister to bring the gift money. Said that we can't be inferior to someone else's gift.

The eldest sister said: "We will entertain those who come, and pull down those who do not come, and we will not bother."

Mother said: "You don't believe me in that Shuangmiao?"

Lin Yan asked, "Shuangmiao? Where are the Shuangmiao?"

The fifth sister smiled and said: "Shuangmiao is our grandma's house, that is, my mother's natal family. There are still many of our cousins. In the first few years our family was poor, and they didn't send us a footprint for a year. Now look at it." We were almost done, only to remember that there is an old aunt like our mother."

My mother said: "Hey, what are those people doing? It's been years. I'm not dead yet, so I just walk around. If I die, you are willing to do whatever you want. I don't care about it, and I don't care about it."

My mother is old and misses her natal family.

Now that my mother said it, I have to do it.

The eldest sister said: "What's the matter, why don't you send a letter to Shuangmiao? When it's time to save it, they will pick it up, and in turn complain to my mother. You see, they might not come if you send them a letter. If you don't send a letter, they will save it." I have to pick you to deal with the money, I know those things, and you can pick it up."

The eldest sister said with complaints.

I said: "Why don't I make a phone call, our mother also wants to see her natal family, and she has several nephews."

The eldest sister said: "You don't need to call. Let your elder brother-in-law call when the time comes. Just give me a letter. Come if you like it, and don't come and drag it down."

Mother said: "Yes, write a letter to him, let's not fall behind."

My grandma's home is in Shuangmiao.

I had two uncles in total, both passed away.The eldest concubine is gone, and there is an old concubine.

In the first few years, my family was in trouble, and my mother didn’t welcome me when she returned to her natal home. After my father passed away, my mother never went back to her natal home.I went back when my uncle, uncle, and sister-in-law passed away.Now my family is better, especially after the fifth sister became the director of the school office, my cousins ​​started to walk around with my family, but the impression given to our sister six was too bad, and it is still not good.

The second sister-in-law and the eldest sister in the backyard finished the new quilt. The second sister-in-law asked about Zhou Xiaomei's situation and reported Zhou Xiaomei's current situation to the second sister-in-law. It's a bit regretful to be a husband and wife, and the words mean that Lin Yan is not as good as Zhou Xiaomei.

I laughed, thinking that my aunt was still facing my niece.

Fifth Sister and Eldest Sister looked at what Lin Yan and I had prepared, and prepared to make up for what was left behind.

Seeing that the underwear we bought was not red, Fifth Sister smiled and said, "I know you two can't buy red underwear. I bought it for you two. You will wear red underwear on your wedding day."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "You have to wear red underwear too."

The fifth sister said: "That's right, you have to wear red clothes when you get married, all red inside and out." Then she asked: "Have you two bought red underpants?"

Lin Yan whispered in embarrassment, "I didn't buy it."

"It's okay if you don't buy it. I prepared it for you too, so I know you two can't buy it." Fifth Sister was a little predictable.

"Fifth Sister is really nice."

The eldest sister saw that the sweater I was wearing was black, and asked, "Did you buy a red sweater?"

I said, "No, it's new too."

The eldest sister said: "Tomorrow, it's not good today, it's getting dark, and I'll go to Beipiao tomorrow to buy you a red one."

I said, "No need, mine is new."

The fifth sister said: "You have to wear red. I will buy it for you tomorrow. You will have a lot of work tomorrow. Get up early in the morning to visit Dad's grave. If you are married, tell our dad about it and make Dad happy." Then she said: " After going to the grave, Lin Yan and Lin Yan went to the town government to register, and accountant Qi, who is in charge of civil affairs, has been contacted and registered there. Don’t you know accountant Qi, who is in charge of civil affairs now.”

I said, "I know each other. We always deal with each other at the fruit tree station."

Fifth Sister said: "After you two register, buy cigarettes, wine, and tea at the store in the town, and then check to see if there are any sausages, and buy them all."

I said, "Well, I'll buy it when the time comes."

Fifth Sister thought for a while and said: "I think you two don't have all the things you bought, so tomorrow we will divide into two groups, Guohua, you and Lin Yan will handle your affairs, and your old brother-in-law and I will go to Beipiao again." , make up for the missing ones." Then he asked me: "Are you two running out of money?"

I said, "Yes, I have money."

Fifth Sister said: "If you don't have money, don't say anything, we have it at home."

I said, "Yes, enough."

The eldest sister said: "I see that you have no confidence in your words. I guarantee that you have no money. I will ask your eldest brother-in-law to bring some money tomorrow. There are many places to spend money for marriage. Prepare more."

My brother-in-law, Sister Moruo.

To be honest, my eye circles were red at that time, and I think Lin Yan's eyes were also a little red.
