After dressing as a widow

Li Jiu was still thinking about Lin Zhen. He felt that he was obsessed with Lin Zhen. He thought about Lin Zhen in the morning, at noon and at night, opened his eyes and closed his eyes.

No matter what, he would never marry Lin Xiaoyao, the only person he wanted was Lin Zhen.

Both Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao didn't know that they were being missed to death, they fell asleep when they returned to the house.

The next day when he came back from selling Malatang, Lin Zhen took Lin Xiaoyao with him, and sat down with Father Lin, as if preparing to have a long talk.

Father Lin looked at the two elder brothers in the family and asked, "What's the matter, is there anything you want to discuss with me?"

Lin Xiaoyao raised his hand first, but he was still a little uneasy. After all, it was very bad for his elder brother to open his mouth to talk about his in-laws.

Moreover, Li Jiu from Mrs. Li's family is considered a favorite in the village. Not only the girls in their village, but also the girls in the surrounding villages want to marry him.

If Aunt Li hadn't come to mention it in person, Auntie Lin would never have thought of being able to climb up to others.

Seeing his faltering, Father Lin couldn't help urging: "I don't know your father, I am impatient, you child is really going to die in a hurry, tell me quickly."

"Father, I just want to tell you if I can postpone my marriage for two years. I want to learn more skills and save some money." Once questioned, Lin Xiaoyao took care of everything. After confessing, he looked at Father Lin anxiously.

Father Lin seemed to have never recalled it, and looked at him with a frown: "Say it again, what are you going to do?"

Maybe it was because of the first round of grounding, Lin Xiaoyao didn't panic anymore, and said, "I know Dad, you are very satisfied with this marriage with the Li family, and you think that I can marry into their family because the ancestral grave is smoking. , but Dad, I really don’t want to get married like this, there are still many things I want to do.”

"You...you child..." Aunt Lin had a secret conversation with Lin Xiaoyao last night, because he felt that the Li family's family conditions were good, and Li Jiu's child looked pretty good. In general, it is already the top choice.

Who would have thought that Lin Xiaoyao would say these words today, and it was just jumping on his forehead.

He didn't understand: "Then Li Jiu doesn't lack arms and legs, doesn't gamble money, doesn't flirt with girls and brothers in the village, it's hard to find a marriage with a lantern. I don't want to get married."

Lin Xiaoyao: "I know that Li Jiu is good, but being married is definitely not as free as it is now, and their family will not let me do whatever I want."

"Father, look, I'm running around town with my third brother every morning and only come back during the day. I'm sure I can't take care of my family. That Li Jiu may not say anything at first, maybe a year or two."

"Also," Lin Xiaoyao became more and more calm as he spoke, and he pushed aside the sideburns on his cheeks, "My pregnancy mole is so light, I may not be able to give birth to a child for the Li family in four or five years, and that Li Jiu is the Li family. The only child, how can Aunt Li bear it."

At the beginning, Father Lin wanted to refute what he said, but after listening to it, he felt that this is right, that is also right, it seems that they are all right.

He stared at Lin Xiaoyao: "Why didn't I know you were so slippery before!"

Lin Xiaoyao glanced at Lin Zhen, "Father, you promised me, right?"

Father Lin would not know that Lin Xiaoyao, who has always been stupid, was infected by Lin Zhen. He said to Lin Zhen: "I learned it from you, one by one. You used to make me worry, but now Xiaoyao makes me worry. What a headache!"

Being affected, Falin really felt that he was very pitiful: "That's Xiaoyao, he said the point, so you are convinced, aren't you?"

Father Lin's head was buzzing, and he calmed down and said to Lin Xiaoyao: "What you said is reasonable, but Xiaoyao, you still have to think about it. If you miss Li Jiu, you may not have such a good marriage."

In fact, among the reasons Lin Xiaoyao said, what made Auntie Lin think about quitting was that he said that he was pregnant and that he might not be able to bear a child for Li Jiu in three to five years, and Li Jiu was the only son of the Li family.

Father Lin's father, Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao's grandmothers had very light pregnancy moles, similar to the two of them.

It took seven years after the marriage to give birth to Father Lin, and another three years to give birth to Father Lin's younger brother.

Because he is three years older than his younger brother, Grandma Lin met Grandma Lin when she was called a chicken by her in-laws to give birth to a child, and used Grandma Lin as a cow.

Even walking in the village will be discussed a lot, and it is useless to point to Granny Lin's spine and say that she can't have children, she might as well jump into the river and die.

In Lin's father's memory, his own father rarely had a smiling face, and most of the time he drooped his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders. His thin body was like a tree bent by a stone, and could never stand up straight again.

And he was luckier, his pregnancy mole was redder than his father's, and he was married to father Lin for three years and had two sons in succession before he completely let go and gained a firm foothold.

But Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao's pregnancy moles are the same as their grandma's, and they are difficult to conceive at first glance.

He was afraid, he was afraid that Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao would live like their grandma.

Lin Xiaoyao said: "The life of our family is getting better every day, maybe we can find someone better than Li Jiu in the future."

"I'm not as generous as you." God knows how happy Apa Lin was last night. He was happy that Lin Xiaoyao had a good place to go. Who would have thought that if he was happy for one night and one day, his son-in-law whom he was optimistic about would not be destined for him.

He rubbed his chest, looked at Lin Zhen: "What about you, what do you want to say to me?"

Lin really wanted to speak, he raised his hand: "Let me slow down first, I can't stand the stimulation when I'm old."

"..." Lin Zhen grabbed his hand, "Father, I promise you won't be so troubled by what Xiaoyao said, didn't I teach Shuanzi to read yesterday? Call Chunxiang and the others to learn together."

"Anyway, it's only for a while at night, so as not to delay the day's work."

"?"

Father Lin felt that his brain was not enough, and that his family was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

Xiaoyao Zhuzi, Huaixiang, Xingxiang, Chunxiang, and Shuanzi, there are six students in total. Who in the ten miles and eight towns can have so many students, no!None!

His voice didn't sound like his own: "This... Is this okay? They are all old, what can they learn."

Although Father Lin said yesterday that he didn't like the scholar who only ate the flesh and blood of his parents, wife and children, he knew that reading is a very good thing.

Lin Zhendao: "As long as you want to learn, you don't have to be afraid no matter how old you are. What's more, I said last night that we don't want to be a child born scholar, we only need to know a few words and understand documents, so that we won't be betrayed by others. Just give people money."

"Would it be too tiring for you? You have to sell Malatang during the day and teach them how to read at night."

"I'm not tired. Teaching Shuanzi alone is teaching, and teaching several of them is also teaching."

As for whether Big Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin will let them continue to go to Mr.'s place to study deeper knowledge, Lin Zhen doesn't know for the time being, but with this beginning, it will definitely be fine in the future.

Suddenly, just as the father and son finished speaking, a woman with thin eyebrows and a thin mouth, who seemed a little difficult to get along with, stood outside the fence and called out: "The Lin family, is the Lin family there?"

As soon as Father Lin heard this voice, he knew that it was Mrs. Li who had just come here last night. If Lin Xiaoyao hadn't said those words just now, he would be very happy, but now he only feels a headache.

He got up and opened the fence door himself, and invited Aunt Li to come in: "Here, Aunt Li, come in and sit down."

Li Zhaodi came in with a smile, and saw Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao at the door at a glance, and greeted warmly: "The real brother and Xiaoyao are here, look at these two brothers, one is better than the other."

"I'm not lucky to have such a good brother, I can only be greedy."

Father Lin felt relieved when he heard this. In his heart, his children are good everywhere. He smiled and said: "Everywhere, they are all children from the village. There is no one who is not sensible."

"By the way, Aunt Li," since Lin Xiaoyao told him, Aunt Lin didn't want to delay other people's children, he said to Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao, "You two brothers, go and see where your sister-in-law is. Bamboo has been cut for so long, don’t bump into it.”

Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao knew that he deliberately dismissed them, and what they were going to talk about was Lin Xiaoyao's marriage after all, so it would be shameful for them juniors to stay here.

So the two greeted each other and walked out side by side.

Li Zhaodi looked at the backs of Lin Xiaoyao and Lin Zhen with a smile on her face, turned her head and said to Aunt Lin: "The Lin family, what do you think I mentioned that matter to you yesterday?"

"When my family Xiaojiu heard that he was going to live with Xiaoyao, he was so happy that he couldn't say a word. Since this morning, he has urged me to come to you and ask when they can settle down."

"..." Aunt Lin heard that Li Jiu cared about Lin Xiaoyao so much, and it was a pity for this marriage.

I knew earlier...

If he had known earlier that he shouldn't have agreed to Xiaoyao's return, at least let the two young ones take a look at each other, maybe Xiaoyao would have given up his idea.

It's too late to say it now.

He looked at Li Zhaodi embarrassedly, and said: "I'm really sorry, Aunt Li, my youngest is still young, and his father and I still want to keep him by my side for two or three years. Look, what I said yesterday Forget it."

Li Zhaodi's hands on her knees were grasped suddenly, and there was a bit of impatience and anger in her eyes.

What kind of family the Lin family is and what kind of family the Li family is, the Lin family can still be picky.

But when she thought about the Mala Tang business and the composting recipe, she secretly suppressed these dislikes, and continued to smile: "Oh, you, that's not what you said when I came yesterday, why did you change your mind overnight, and My Xiaojiu is still waiting for me to bring good news back, so what should I do."
