Chapter 216
"Being a matchmaker?"
Mother Li reacted immediately and her eyes lit up instantly. Someone gave her a pillow when she felt sleepy. She was having a headache about Li Wan's marriage.
“Ah, her aunt, come in and sit down, come in and sit down.”
“This is”
After sitting down, Mother Li had time to look at Lin Xue who came in behind her. She wanted to ask if she was your daughter-in-law, but Lin Xue was not the right age.
Ming Xin’s mother took the tea poured by Li Wan and was about to introduce Lin Xue, but she didn’t expect that at this time, footsteps came from the door again.
When I came in just now, I forgot to close the door, and the person outside walked in directly.
"Hey, we have a guest at home?"
The person who came in was the barefoot doctor in the village, an old educated youth who was the first educated youth to go to the countryside. Later, he couldn't stand the countryside. Due to the hardship and age, she married a young man in the village.
Now the couple has four children, the eldest is seventeen and the youngest is ten. The female educated youth named Su Ling also gave up her thoughts of returning to the city and has been stationed at the clinic in the village.
"Doctor Su is here. You are here just in time. Let's sit down and drink tea together." Mother Li took another teacup and poured Su Ling a cup of tea.
Su Ling has been in the village for almost twenty years. Naturally, she has met Mingxin’s mother. She nodded politely to her and said, “I’ll change Wanwan’s medicine first, and we’ll have tea later. "
The people in the room were all women. Mother Li closed the door, and Su Ling asked Li Wan to roll up her trousers.
Because of her injury, Li Wan wore very loose pants.
The wound is just above the crook of the leg, towards the back of the thigh.
It was only then that Mingxin’s mother and Lin Xue knew that Li Wan was injured.
At that time, Li Wan jumped off the tractor and was caught by the wire. Due to the force of the fall, the wound was lacerated and she needed three stitches.
Mother Li looked at her daughter's hideous wound and asked worriedly: "Doctor Su, Wanwan's wound will not leave any sequelae, right?"
"Sequelae?" Su Ling was confused for a moment. I understood what she meant and thought she wanted to ask if there would be scars. "The wound will heal and there will be scars, but it doesn't matter much at this location. The scars will gradually fade over time."
"We rural people don't mind scars in this location. What I'm worried about is whether this wound will affect walking after it heals?"
"It won't affect walking. This wound is just a skin injury. The wound looks hideous. In fact, the blood vessels and muscles were not injured."
While answering her words, Su Ling quickly cleaned the wound, disinfected it, and applied medicine to bandage it.
Mother Li's heart dropped, "It's fine if it doesn't affect me. I've been worried about it these days because I'm afraid it will affect my future walking."
Dr. Su saw them after bandaging. There were guests at home, so I drank a cup of tea and left.
After sending Dr. Su off, Li's mother saw that Ming Xin's mother and Lin Xue had been paying attention to Li Wan's injury.
Knowing that they were curious about how the injury was caused, they explained to her: "During the winter moon, my relatives introduced Wanwan to a man. The man was a tractor driver in the village."
“My child is quite shy. He was teased by people in the village. He couldn’t bear it and jumped out of the car before it stopped. As a result, his thigh was hooked by the wire. Fortunately, it was winter. Wear two pairs of pants, otherwise the wound will be more serious."
"Seeing this happen, the man said that the marriage was inappropriate and refused.
I don’t think so. Not to mention that Wanwan has been injured, and her reputation is ugly. If you don’t mind Wanwan, just tell us about the man you want to marry.”
Ming Xin's mother and Lin Xue looked at each other. They didn't expect that Li Wan had encountered such a bad thing before.
If there was no injury, would Li Wan have successfully dated the man?
Lin Xue didn't feel that Li Wan's reputation had any impact, and she was still secretly glad in her heart. Fortunately, she was injured, otherwise there would be no problem with her.
Lin Xue actually looked at Li Wan carefully when she came in. The Li family members all have fair skin.
Because Li Wan is a girl and is not the main labor force in the family, she doesn't look like a rural girl at all based on her skin.
Coupled with her pretty features and tall figure, she would be one of the best beauties in the city.
Just now because I mentioned the matter of being rejected by the man, my eyes were slightly red, and I looked even more pitiful.
Lin Xue felt pity for a woman when she saw her, let alone what a man would do if he saw her. No wonder her son-in-law never forgets her.
Lin Xue's expression naturally caught Mingxin's mother's eyes. Seeing that she had no objection, she told Mother Li about the Lin family and Lin Gang's situation.
Li Wan was slightly startled when she heard it was Lin Gang. She had some impression of this person.
The man who had vowed to marry her as his wife and be good to her throughout his life, she only thought that what he said was crazy and he was just revolting against her.
Unexpectedly, there was no trace of the man during this period. It turned out that he had gone to work in another place.
Since he is already a formal worker, why do he still want to marry a rural girl like her? If you have a job, you can marry a girl in the city.
"I know that young man Lin Gang. He plays well with my family Mingxin. He is good-looking and has a formal job now. It is better for your family Wanwan to marry him than to marry a rural person and spend her whole life farming. , you think so?”
After hearing this, Mother Li nodded: "Although what you say is reasonable, he is already a worker. Why is he still thinking about finding a girl from the countryside? It should be easy to find a girl with a job in the city. Isn’t it difficult?”
I knew my mother didn't understand the situation and couldn't talk nonsense, so she turned to look at Lin Xue.
Lin Xue took a sip of tea, introduced herself first, and then talked about Lin Gang's previous visit to the village.
"Maybe this is fate. Our family has no relatives in your village, but Gangzi played well with Mingxin. He followed Mingxin to visit relatives once, and then he met Li Wan.
This is not because he was forced to get married by his family, but I was thinking of sending Aunt Mingxin and I on this trip. Aunt Li, don’t worry, my family doesn’t care whether they are from the countryside or from the city.”
It sounds like this family is sensible. Man, Mother Li was quite satisfied with the Lin family. At least if the elders in the family don't object, then there will be fewer conflicts if her daughter gets married.
"Then if they become successful, should Wanwan stay in the countryside or go to the work unit with the man?"
Ming Xin's mother and Lin Xue were slightly startled after hearing this.
Ming Xin’s mother slapped her forehead suddenly, “Oh, I forgot to tell you about this. Their family used to live in a rural area, in Xiaohe Village, which is also ten miles away from our village.”
"Later, the youngest daughter of the family married and moved to the city. The in-laws in the city had connections and sent the eldest and second son of their family to the city's power supply station to work as temporary workers. The third son is also telling you Dear Gangzi, I spent money to buy a name "I went to work at the power plant, and now the whole family is in the city." Lin Xue felt a little proud, and added: "Now I am staying in the county town, and my parents, eldest brother and second brother have gone to the provincial capital for development. Otherwise, it will be my mother who comes to your house to be the matchmaker this time. If Wanwan marries our Gangzi, she doesn’t have to stay in the countryside. She can follow Gangzi to her work or follow my mother to the provincial capital.”
"Going to the provincial capital?"
Not to mention Li's mother, even Mingxin's mother just found out that the Lin family had gone to the provincial capital. A year ago, I heard that it was developing in the county town. Why did it go to the provincial capital in the blink of an eye?
Mother Li felt happy and sad at the same time. If Wanwan and their family got married, wouldn't she have to stay away from her parents' family and go to the provincial capital where she had no relatives?
What should I do if I am bullied?
My parents’ home is far away, so I can’t help her even if I want to.
Lin Xue nodded: "Yes, my younger sister has given birth to a child now and went to the provincial capital with her husband. My eldest brother and second brother have opened two noodle restaurants in the provincial capital, and the business is not bad. They will probably settle down in the provincial capital in the future. My parents went to help them."
Mother Li's eyes flickered, the Lin family's conditions are so good, what's the difference between Wanwan marrying into their family and falling into a lucky nest?
Li Wan's heart beat a little faster. She didn't expect that the Lin family's conditions were so good. In the past, she saw Lin Gang's glib tongue, and to be honest, she didn't like it.
It’s different now. Her reputation is not very good in the countryside. If she marries Lin Gang, she can stay away from the rumors in the village. Besides, Lin Gang's conditions are very good, and you will make a profit by marrying him.
Don't talk about Li Wan's reality. When the two of them have no emotional foundation, the first thing a woman considers when marrying is family conditions and her own conditions.
Only when the woman is satisfied with both conditions can the two of them develop further and go further.
Lin Xue said that Lin Gang is not young anymore, and his family wants to get married as soon as possible.
Li Wan has met Lin Gang, and Lin Gang's external image is very good. There is no one with bad looks in the Lin family. The person involved, Li Wan, is satisfied, and Li's mother has nothing to say.
The bride price in rural areas is usually a few dozen yuan, or a hundred yuan for better conditions.
When the Lin family said that the bride price would be two hundred yuan, Li's mother couldn't say a word of objection, so she nodded in agreement.
A preliminary consensus was reached. Lin Xue meant that they agreed now, and when Lin Gang took time to come back next time, they wanted to pay the bride price and get married together.
The Li family thought that Lin Gang had to go to work and might not have much time for vacation, so they agreed.
Li Wan was still confused when Ming Xin’s mother and Lin Xue left.
When she got up in the morning, her mother was still worrying about her marriage. It had only been half a day, but her life-long event had been solved?
Mother Li sent the guests away and walked to her daughter's room. Seeing her dazed look, she thought it was a girl named Sichun and sighed in her heart.
She walked to sit next to her and asked softly: "Wanwan, tell me honestly, what does Lin Gang look like? You have been in contact with him, what do you think of him? Mainly, is he unreliable?"
Li Wan's face turned red and her eyes were a little dodgy, "You also saw what Lin Xue looks like today. He has similar facial features to Lin Xue, and is a head taller than me. As for his character, I don’t know, but I think he is a responsible man now that he wants to come to my house for marriage.”
Unlike the last time, the man abandoned her without mercy after she was injured.
After hearing what Li Wan said, Mother Li felt a little relieved.
If that doesn't work, they can refuse it if Lin Gang is not good when waiting for the betrothal gift.
Lin Xue's call came to the provincial capital. Liu Xiao'e was so happy that she couldn't help but smile when she learned that Li Wan hadn't said goodbye yet and that their family had already agreed to the marriage.
"Today is already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Third child, please ask for a few days off from your work, and I will go back with you to celebrate the bride price."
This time I went back to celebrate the bride price, and let the two of them do it by the way. People register their marriage, and the banquet will be held later when there is time.
Liu Xiao'e was very satisfied with Lin Xue's vigorous and resolute actions this time. It is not easy to go back to her hometown in the provincial capital now. If she can complete the matter at once, she will save the hassle of going back and forth.
Lin Gang was a little shy when it came to marriage, but thinking about his daily income, he was extremely reluctant to go back at this time.
"Don't worry about paying the bride price. There are many people visiting relatives in the first month. Dad and I have a good business in setting up a stall. It's not worthwhile to lose hundreds of yuan if we delay for one day."
Lin Dashan thought for a while and said: "I don't think you need to be too anxious. , If we are too anxious to rush, the woman will think that we can’t wait, which is looked down upon.”
The world sometimes requires women to be reserved. In fact, the same is true for men. They can’t rush too much, otherwise it will be easy. Make people look down upon.
"Then when is the best time to go?" Liu Xiaoe knew that she was too impatient, but she refused to admit it.
Lin Dashan was thinking that in a few days, all units would go to work.
When these people go to work, the movement between relatives will definitely be affected. Then let Lin Gang go back.
"Let's wait until everyone in the units like Chuba goes to work. Then you go back with her."
Lin Gang scratched his head and didn't know what was going on. This time he came to the provincial capital and asked him to go back to work. He resisted from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps it was too easy to make money by setting up a stall in the provincial capital, which whetted his appetite and made him no longer interested in going to work and receiving the salary of more than 30 yuan.
"Dad, what do you think about me quitting my job and coming to the provincial capital to do business with you?"
When Lin Gang asked this question, he kept thinking about it in his mind. He looked at Lin Dashan uneasily, fearing that his father would get angry and beat him up.
What surprised him was that Lin Dashan really considered this issue seriously.
Now in the provincial capital, whether he is the eldest, second child or youngest, his daily income is beyond the reach of others, which has opened his horizons.
I am not obsessed with the stable tens of dollars from work.
"I will consider this matter for a few days, and you will also consider it for a few days. I will discuss it with your brothers and listen to their opinions."
Liu Xiao'e came to the Gu family to help take care of the children, and told Lin Shu that Lin Gang didn't want to go to work and wanted to come to the provincial capital to learn business.
Lin Shu was not too surprised when he heard this. If it were anyone else, after earning hundreds of dollars a day, he could still go back to work and clock in step by step, unless that person had no desires or desires. Begging for the immortal.
Otherwise, it would be difficult not to change people’s mentality.
"You let him choose. If he resigns, tell him not to waste his work quota and sell it to others."
Liu Xiao'e has her own worries, "You said that if he is in the provincial capital What should I do if I can’t survive? You know that brat has been out of tune since he was a child and is a habitual offender. What if he gets tired after setting up a stall for a few days and refuses to leave?”
Setting up a stall is much harder than going to work, come and go.
Lin Shu was amused when he heard this, "Mom, all the brothers have come to the provincial capital. If he really can't survive, let him follow Gu Jiu to gain experience. If that doesn't work, let him join the eldest brother or the second brother's fan." Helping in a noodle shop, the minimum salary of a few dozen yuan is no worse than working in the workplace.”
Of course, this is relative to the current situation. In the Lin family's situation in the past, the quota of regular workers in the unit was very precious. There was no way that regular workers could be left to work as local stall owners.
Setting up a street stall is also a transition period for Lin Gang, just a stepping stone.
Because of how motivated he is now, although Lin Shu and Lin Gang have not dealt with each other since childhood, they still have to help when it is time to help.
