Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

When Zhang Shu got up early, he found that half of his shoulder and arm were sore and numb.But these are not big problems when seeing the person sleeping soundly in his arms.

He looked at Li Mujin's rosy face tenderly, last night was the happiest time in his two lives, the feeling of the unity of soul and body is simply addictive.

Li Mujin blinked and woke up. When he first saw Zhang Shu, he was still a little embarrassed, until Zhang Shu leaned down and kissed his forehead lightly, and he smiled sweetly.

"Get up?" Li Mujin sat up. He was wearing an underwear, which Zhang Shu helped him put on last night. It's cold to get up early now, and it's not time to light the brazier. It would be bad if he caught a cold.

"Yeah." Zhang Shu got up from the quilt first, then walked to the cabinet and took out two sets of clothes. He held down Li Mujin who was about to get up, stuffed one of the clothes into the quilt to keep warm, and put on himself. Another set.

After he finished dressing, he handed the clothes to Li Mujin one by one, asking him to put them on too.Li Mujin's body is a little uncomfortable, but it will not affect walking.

Zhang Shu saw that he was uncomfortable, and stretched out his big palm to rub his waist. Li Mujin froze for a moment, then relaxed his body, leaned on Zhang Shu, and let him massage himself.

The warm atmosphere didn't last long, when I heard Zhang Rong's voice from outside, "It's already high in the sun and we still haven't gotten up, don't you know we're still rushing back? Really."

Then Grandma Zhang's voice came again, "If you can't wait, go first!"

Zhang Shu frowned, it was still early, and Zhang Rong was just looking for trouble.Judging from his two meetings with Zhang Rong, she can speak more than before, and all of them are harsh words.I don't know how there is such a mother who pushes her unmarried daughter to spread the word because she wants to be famous. Could it be that spreading such a reputation will help her find a husband's family?

Li Mujin also heard it, he was a little embarrassed, stood up and sat in front of the dressing table, and quickly took care of himself.Zhang Shu also tied up his hair, and the two walked out the door hand in hand.

Zhang Shu fetched hot water from the kitchen, and then hoisted some water from the well, and the two of them huddled close together on the stone table to wash.

Zhang Rong snorted again in disdain, then went into the room to ask her parents to come out.

"Don't talk to them, and don't hold back if they make things difficult for you. Treat them as much as you are right." Zhang Shu approached Li Mujin and whispered. The only person in this family who needs respect is his grandma. There is no need to suffer at all.

Li Mujin nodded. They had been on the side since they were young, so naturally they would not have conflicts over other people.

After they were all done, the others also sat down in the main room.Zhang Shu helped him take out the teapot, then poured two cups of tea on the tray and handed it to Li Muzhen.

Li Mujin held tea and knelt in front of Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang, "Grandpa and grandma, please drink tea."

"Okay, okay!" Grandma Zhang smiled from ear to ear, and quickly put a red cloth bag on the tea tray. The crisp voice sounded, and everyone's hearts tightened. It was clearly a silver ingot!

Li Muzhen thanked Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang with a smile, and then Zhang Shu helped him pour two more cups of tea. Li Muzhen knelt in front of Zhang Shu's parents' tablet and offered tea to them.Then Grandpa Zhang gave Li Muzhen a red cloth bag instead of his son and daughter-in-law.

Li Mujin went to serve tea to Zhang An and Wang Cuilan again, so there was no need to kneel down, and they didn't make any fuss, just took the tea and drank it, then Wang Cuilan pulled out a hairpin from her head, and said with a smile , "Second uncle and second aunt's family is not rich, this hairpin was my dowry at that time, I will give it to you now."

It was a wooden hairpin, only two small silver beads were embedded on the head, it looked a little black, and it was obviously a woman's hairpin.

Li Mujin didn't change his face on the spot, and still took it with a smile. Wang Cuilan was a little disappointed, otherwise she could cry and tell how difficult it has been for so long.

He poured two more cups of tea for Zhang Yun and Zhang Xiucai. They took it and drank it. Zhang Yun took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeve for a while, and put eight copper coins on it. Wearing it, she put it on the tray.

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang changed their expressions on the spot when they saw the gifts from the two families, but it was just because Li Muzhen couldn't have a seizure on the first day when he entered the house.Otherwise, her sweet-mouthed and bitter daughter-in-law would definitely call him a troublemaker.

Zhang Shu had known their characters for a long time, and didn't have much expectation.Li Mujin understood what Zhang Shu said now.

After serving tea, it was time for the bride-to-be to give gifts. Li Mujin and Zhang Shu went back to the room for a while, and then they came back with a new set of cotton-padded clothes, trousers and cotton-padded shoes. It is made according to the most fashionable style of the old people in the city, and it looks like a lot of thought has been put into it.

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang were each holding a set, and they were both happy, and others could tell if they were careful or not.

After the clothes were given to them, the two went back to the room. One of them was holding a pair of insoles. This was a gift for the second uncle and aunt's family. They were originally for shoes, but they are no longer necessary.

Wang Cuilan and Zhang Yun also pulled their faces down, while Zhang An and Zhang Xiucai looked like they had nothing to do with them.This kind of women's affairs is of course left to the women's family to deal with.Then Li Mujin's gift to the younger siblings also became a string of copper coins for each person, with each string of eight.It stands to reason that he paid the compensation, but you must know that he has five younger siblings.And the gift he received was worth more than twenty dollars at most.

"At home, my dad has always taught me about human relations. I didn't have a college degree, so I understood a sentence, courtesy is reciprocal. It is said that what others give you, you should also give back. Gifts should not be too light Or it is too heavy, it is impolite to be light, and it is difficult for others to deal with it if it is too heavy. Sir, is it because I gave too much gift?"

Li Mujin looked at Zhang Shu innocently when he saw that their expressions were not very good.Zhang Shu was almost amused by Li Mujin.Let's see what his second aunt and aunt have to say.

"It doesn't matter husband, we are juniors, of course we have to be more polite." Zhang Shu comforted Li Mujin in this way, and then successfully found that the faces of his second aunt and aunt had turned purple.

After a while, both sides said they were going back.Before leaving, Zhang Yun took away a pot of unfinished meat from his house in an earthen pot.

After they left, Grandma Zhang said to Grandpa Zhang privately, "I thought Jin'er was soft at first, but I didn't expect him to be powerful. It seems that we can rest assured that he can keep the family."

Grandpa Zhang nodded, and this kid has a sense of propriety, so he is good to them, A Shu.

……

On the first day of their wedding, Li Mujin and Zhang Shu cooked up several dishes in the kitchen and brought them to the table. The grandparents also showed face and kept saying that they were delicious.He also told Li Mujin that the two elders can still move now, and there is no rush to let the young people do the housework. They should rest more when they have time, and try to let them hold the baby as soon as possible.

These words made the two young men blush a little, and they both lowered their heads and ate silently.

After lunch, the two of them didn't know what to do, so they went back to the room to sort out Li Mujin's dowry.

Li Mujin didn't hide Zhang Shu's intentions, and took out the valuable things openly.

First were the five small silver ingots in the betrothal gift, and then various silverware, which were cash money from the Zhang family's betrothal gift, and Li Mujin brought them all back.

Then there is the private house money given by the Li family, Li's father gave five taels, Li's father also gave five taels, his brother gave three, and his father's dowry also gave him half of it.It can be said that Zhang Shu married Li Mujin, not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money.

Then there is the private money saved by Li Mujin, including what Zhang Shu gave him.This part is the least.

All piled up on the table, Zhang Shu made a rough calculation, and there were seven to eighty taels of these alone.If you add those cloth furniture and so on, the combined belongings of the two of them should be almost 80 taels!

Li Mujin looked at him with bright eyes, obviously happy that they had so much money.

Zhang Shu was also very relieved that he married that woman in his previous life, not to mention the dowry and bride price. In the next few decades, he never had more than ten coins in his pocket.

Although Li Mujin's money will not be used, this feeling of complete trust makes people feel very comfortable.
