Chapter 35 Go on a blind date with her
The Xiaohe production team’s spring plowing has finally ended, and the villagers can take two days off to work on their own plots.
The next day.
Lin Shugang woke up at dawn. When she got up, she found that Liu Xiaoe had gotten up earlier than her and was already sitting in the kitchen boiling water and making porridge.
"Mom, why did you get up so early? After finally finishing the spring plowing, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I'm not as old as you young people, but we feel younger." Liu Xiao'e pointed to the small iron pot on the stove, "There are a few potatoes steamed in that pot. You can take it and eat it slowly on the road. I've put some in the kettle." You are filled with cold water.”
Lin Shu fetched water to wash up, "What should I buy at home?"
"I have everything at home. If Haiyan asks you to accompany her to the supply and marketing cooperative, you can buy a few bags of salt."
< br>I don’t have much salt at home, so I can add a few packs.
“Okay, I’ll buy it when the time comes.”
Liu Xiao'e was afraid of what she said, "What do you mean you just buy it? Are you afraid that mice can't keep their food overnight? If you sell medicinal materials to get some money, you have to spend it on the same day, right?
It's hard to make money now. , If you have money, you must learn to save it. If you are so loose, will you be able to save money when you get married and start a family?"
Lin Shu poured the water for washing his face into the gutter in front of the house, "Mom, I Know the home of the poor The bottom line is saved, but the premise is that our living standards cannot be lowered. You said that we can’t bear to eat or wear clothes in our lives, so why do we work hard to make money in order to raise our son and save money for him? When going to school, it can be said that she lived frugally and was reluctant to eat or wear clothes. In the end, at an age when she could have enjoyed her old age, she returned to poverty.
I was in poor health in my previous life, and all my efforts were ultimately in vain.
Don’t talk about extravagance and waste in this life, at least eat and drink when you need to, and don’t skimp on food, drink, or clothing.
"For what, not for this family!" Liu Xiao'e didn't understand Lin Shu's thoughts, but she said it with confidence. The busy life of a parent is just for the sake of the children.
Lin Shu checked the polygonatum in the backpack, covered it with a sack, and put a kettle on it so that others would not see it.
Liu Xiao'e saw her packing her backpack and told her: "When selling this Huang Jing, find an excuse to carry your Aunt Niu and the others on your back."
"I know." Lin Shu looked at her. He glanced at it and joked: "You and Aunt Niu are not on good terms, so why do you let me go behind their backs on this matter?"
Liu Xiao'e rolled her eyes, "Wealth is not revealed, people's hearts are separated from the belly, I still know about you."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Shu heard footsteps coming from outside, it should be Aunt Niu and Lin Haiyan came over.
Sure enough, after a while, Lin Haiyan's voice came from the door, "Lin Shu, are you okay?"
"Okay, come here!" Lin Shu lifted up the backpack , waved to Comrade Liu Xiao'e, and walked out quickly.
Lin Haiyan saw Lin Shu carrying a backpack, "Lin Shu, why are you carrying a backpack? Are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something?"
"Bring a backpack to be prepared for emergencies. My mother asked me to buy a few bags of salt and soap. We are running out of them at home."
In fact, as soon as she put the backpack on her back, she put the inside of the backpack Huang Jing was transferred to the system and sold for 41 yuan.
Telling her family that selling Huangjing in the countryside was just an excuse. She could sell it to the system in exchange for money and avoid risks. There was no need for her to sell it in reality.
On the way out of the village, Lin Haiyan noticed that the clothes on Lin Shu were all newly made, "Lin Shu, when did your mother pull the fabric for you? Is this fabric really good?"< br>
At this moment, Lin Shu noticed that Lin Haiyan was wearing a 90% new pure white shirt and a pair of black pants.
She lowered her head and looked at her clothes, and said with a smile: "This is not a good quality cloth, it is made of cotton."
The style is very simple, a simple shirt style with a small stand-up collar, whether it is in later generations or now They are all simple and classic.
“When you wear this shirt, you look different.” Lin Haiyan looked envious in her eyes and looked down at her shirt: “Lin Shu, what do you think of my clothes? Okay?”
“It looks good.”
After leaving the village, there were many people going to the fair after spring plowing, walking in twos and threes.
Aunt Niu may have considered Haiyan's blind date and didn't want the villagers to know about it, so she always walked alone from Xiaohe Village to the countryside, and did not go out with people she knew well. Seeing that she was about to enter the countryside, Lin Haiyan began to feel nervous for no reason.
"Lin Shu, is it really impossible for you to reconcile Chunlei's marriage?"
Lin Shu didn't expect that she would suddenly ask this question, "There is no possibility for me and him , His mother has always looked down on our family, otherwise, we wouldn’t have to wait so many years for things to happen.”
Lin Haiyan thought of Lin Shu’s age and that all these years of delay would be in vain. Suddenly, she looked at herself. The subject is a little worried.
"I'm only a year or two younger than you. Do you think the man will dislike my age? Also, what kind of person is the man? Is his family easy to get along with?"
Lin Shu was scratched. Scratching the head: "How old is the man?"
"Twenty."
"Haha, what kind of international joke are you making? A twenty-year-old dislikes you, an eighteen-year-old?"
"Okay, I'm just a little nervous." Lin Haiyan felt much more at ease when she heard what she said.
"You two, stop muttering behind you. Your aunt and the others must have been waiting for us at the state-owned hotel. Go faster." Aunt Niu wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced at the sun hanging in the sky, and turned around to urge.
Lin Haiyan’s aunt is known to Lin Shu.
As soon as they entered the state-owned hotel, Lin Shu recognized Aunt Lin who was sitting against the wall. Next to him sat a middle-aged woman and a man.
Aunt Lin was a little surprised when she saw Lin Shu following him, and asked: "Why is Lin Wei's sister here?"
"Aunt, Lin Shu came here with me. "Yes." Lin Haiyan explained.
The man stood up and smiled at a few people, asked them to sit down, and introduced himself: "My name is Li Jianjun. I am twenty years old. My parents are still alive at home. I am the fifth oldest, and I have four older sisters."
< br>Aunt Lin smiled and introduced her natal niece to the man, and then smiled and asked them to find out what they wanted to know in person.
Lin Shu looked at the man sitting across from him. He had an ordinary appearance, a simple and honest face, and was not very tall, maybe only 1.68 meters tall.
It’s just that the man Lin Haiyan married in her previous life was not this man, but the man in Lin Haiyan’s previous life was not a responsible man either. She suffered a lifetime of marriage to him and never enjoyed happiness until she was old.
What both parties want to know about the blind date is nothing more than their family situations. As for the financial situation, in this era, everyone is about the same.
Later, Aunt Niu asked in more detail, indicating that she initially understood that Aunt Niu was quite satisfied with the man's situation.
When asked how many work points the man could earn in a day, the expressions on the man's and Aunt Lin's faces were a bit subtle.
"Seven work points." The man reluctantly said: "I am the youngest in the family. I used to have several sisters in the family to support me. I am not as hardworking as others in farm work."
Lin Shu asked: "If you don't work hard in the countryside, what will happen after marriage?" How do you support your wife and children?"
The man smiled casually: "I have a few sisters to help me at home, and the conditions are not bad. My parents don't want me to work too hard. I have enough to live for the rest of my life. I am satisfied with wearing warm clothes.”
Lin Haiyan nervously grabbed Lin Shu's hand.
Lin Shu patted her hand and asked for her: "Then I want to know how much weight you can carry at one time?"
"A hundred pounds should not be a problem."
Lin Shu's lips twitched when he heard this. For a grown man who mainly does farm work in rural areas, it shouldn't be a problem to weigh more than a hundred pounds.
She whispered into Lin Haiyan's ear and said: "You can't rely on anything but everyone. It's better to rely on yourself than relying on anyone else. You have to rely on yourself to forge iron. Haiyan, you should think about whether this man will succeed." ”
The main reason is that this man is full of sisters, which means that he has grown up among women since he was a child. Lin Shu thinks that he lacks masculinity and responsibility.
After Lin Shu said this, he stood up and went out first.
Take advantage of this moment to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soap and salt.
