After the gourmet up dressed as a spoiled man

Chapter 16 The Lin Family's Engagement

Early in the morning, everyone in the village got up and went to work. Every family went to work in the field after eating some dry food in the morning. Hu Ziniang also got up early to cook a bowl of millet porridge for Hu Zi.

"Mom, the porridge you cook is also delicious!" Huzi drank heavily from the bowl.

"Does the rice cooked by mother taste as good as the rice cooked by Mrs. Lin's brother?" Hu Ziniang suddenly wanted to tease her son, but Hu Zi frowned and stopped talking. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's still the rice cooked by mother. ! It smells like a mother!"

Hu Ziniang smiled gratifiedly, and patted Hu Zi on the head. This kid has learned how to coax people after he went to school.

She let the tiger eat first, she went to the garden to pick some vegetables, and Li Yu came to collect two baskets every few days, and she also earned a lot of money during this time.When I first arrived in the yard, I saw that the neighbor in the backyard, Mrs. Liu, was also busy in the garden, and a young man followed her.

Hu Ziniang took a closer look, isn't this Aunt Liu's son!

"Aunt Liu, is your son back?" Hu Ziniang approached and asked enthusiastically, "I heard you talking about it, and now I finally see my son!"

"No, my son hasn't been in the village for many years. Now that I'm not in good health, he's coming back to be filial to me!" Aunt Liu smiled all over her face, and when she mentioned her son, she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.She usually has bad legs and feet, and her ears are hard of hearing when she is old. When she sees everyone, she is sullen and doesn't like to talk, and the neighbors around her don't like to associate with her. She can also help her now, so I can get closer to her.But Mrs. Liu seldom had a smile on her face, and it was really different with this son by her side.

The young man who said this came over. He was of medium build and honest appearance. He looked gentle and quiet. He didn't walk recklessly like the boys in the village. He looked like a scholar. He spoke with a gentle voice. "This is Hu Ziniang, Hu Zi was just born when I left the village."

Seeing that he still knew her, Hu Ziniang replied with a smile: "The days go by so fast, Hu Zi is so big, your mother always misses you, this time you come back and don't leave!"

"I won't leave, I won't leave, and if I want to leave in the future, I have to take my mother with me." Wang Lin helped Aunt Liu sit on the stool, "I have been studying all these years, and I was selected as a scholar. I didn’t find a suitable way to make a living in the city, and my mother was not in good health, so I went home with my luggage, and I happened to be filial to my mother and help the family with work.”

"It's good to be brave, Aunt Liu, your son is really filial!"

After chatting for a while, Hu Ziniang went home to work.

Wang Lin helped Mrs. Liu back into the house, poured another glass of water and said, "Mother, I heard that there has never been a school in our village. I have a reputation as a scholar, and I happen to be able to teach in our village and help the family on a regular basis." Well, I still want to take the exam again, and I have to earn some money, do you think it's possible?"

Aunt Liu sighed after hearing her son's words, "Son, if you came back a few months earlier, you would be the teacher in this village. You are from our village, and everyone in the village should thank you!"

"What does mother mean by that?" Wang Lin was puzzled.

"A few months ago, a family came to our village. I heard that they came from the capital. The son of the third bedroom of that family is a Juren. He also had this idea. He talked to the village chief and he agreed. They teach in the school in the village." Aunt Liu explained: "Son, we have no chance."

When Wang Lin heard that a Juren had come to the village, his eyes widened immediately, and he said excitedly, "Mother, there are still Juren in our village. I want to visit. Are you familiar with their family?"

Although he was no longer a teacher, he was not discouraged. Aunt Liu felt relieved when she saw her son, "The gentleman's surname is Lin, and he has a brother who runs a cafeteria in the college. He is there every day. Go there and find them." That's fine, the couple have good personalities!"

Wang Lin replied with a smile: "Then I will go at noon!"

In the Lin family's courtyard, Mr. Lin was sitting in the main hall, and other people were standing aside. They got up early on purpose to discuss something before rushing Lin Shiyou to the academy.

"Wang Dahai agreed to marry Liu Jiaojiao, so she will naturally be a concubine. Liu Jiaojiao has stayed in our Lin family for so many years.

Now that you are married, you should have given some things as a dowry, but you have harmed yourself instead of others. Although the Sanfang family forgives you for not reporting to the government, our Lin family can't buy anything for you. "Mr. Lin said in a deep voice: "You girl can understand. "

Liu Jiaojiao hadn't spoken since she came back that day, she looked dull, and nodded after hearing what the old man said.

The old man moved his crutches and raised his chin, "The date is set for three days later, Erfang will help you get ready."

The second wife's wife responded in a low voice from behind.

Lin Shiyou took Li Yu's hand and listened quietly. Li Yu thought to himself: "Before Liu Jiaojiao came from the capital, she must have never thought that she would marry a lustful rascal in the village. This is a small village."

He raised his eyes to look at Liu Jiaojiao, glanced at them and then looked away.

After Master Lin explained about Liu Jiaojiao, he immediately began to discuss Lin Yanzi's marriage.

Last time he asked the village chief to find a matchmaker to protect Lin Yanzi's matchmaker, and a letter came last night.A relative of the matchmaker's family lived in the town and opened a pharmacy, and they lived a good life. His son was also well-looking, but he was a little older than Lin Yanzi, and there was a ten-year difference between the two.

Mrs. Lin asked the second room, Lin Cai, and the second room's wife heard that the man was from the town and made a living, so she became interested and asked the matchmaker for a long time.The matchmaker is a person in charge and she can explain it clearly, and at the end she praised Lin Yanzi, and the girl of the Lin family is from the capital, she is absolutely worthy of the man.

After sending the matchmaker away, Lin Fa was silent, and the second daughter-in-law couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear, thinking that her daughter could only marry these villagers.

Unexpectedly, the condition of the man who was guaranteed by this matchmaker was pretty good. She had already planned to let her daughter get married first, and she didn't have to work. When the life was better, she would bring them both to the town. She had been in this small village for a long time. Enough is enough!

She pulled her daughter and talked, Lin Yanzi had no idea that she grew up so big and listened to her parents. When she heard that she could marry into the town, she was also happy, but when she thought of getting married, she would have to leave her parents. Tears welled up, and my heart was filled with worry and fear.

"Why is Swallow crying! This marriage is a happy event!" The second wife looked at her daughter and comforted her: "When you get better in the town, your father and I will go to your side."

"Mom, I'm scared. I haven't left home yet." Lin Yanzi became more and more sad as she spoke, and her tears kept flowing. The second wife's wife felt sour when she saw her daughter crying. If she hadn't helped Liu Jiaojiao do those things Well, the old man wouldn't be betrothed to Yanzi, she also regretted it, and the two of them hugged each other and cried endlessly.

Lin Fa looked at his wife and daughter and sighed deeply. He couldn't support the family, so he had to let Yanzi marry. If he was in the capital, he would have already prepared his daughter's dowry.

But when they were exiled to the village, they had nothing of value, not even Lin Yanzi's dowry.Lin Fa also felt that he was incompetent at this time. Looking at his wife and children, he made up his mind, stood up and went to the old man's room.

The Erfang family agreed, even if the marriage was settled, the old man took this opportunity to tell his family that he would pay a share of Lin Yanzi's dowry.

He has a finger puller, which was also brought out from the capital, and it can be worth ten taels of silver.

When Mrs. Dafang heard that the old man really hid the treasure, she lived in his house without taking it out of her hand. Now that Lin Yanzi is married, he wants to add a dowry to the girl of the second room's family!

"The old man's heart is biased, so valuable things are given to that girl!" The second wife shouted at the top of her voice: "The water that a married daughter of hers poured out, the family is most short of money, so why should I give it to her?" !"

Dafang Linfa tugged at her sleeve, his expression was not happy, and he was also dissatisfied with the old man's actions.

"I haven't finished talking yet, these ten taels of silver are good for a family of three taels!"

The old man stomped on his crutches, with anger in his eyes, "When you mention money, you all talk. Is there any friendship in this family?"

Everyone was silent, Mrs. Dafang held back for a long time when she saw this, and the family of Erfang didn't dare to speak out.

"Lin Yanzi is my younger sister. She is young and ignorant. Now that she is engaged, even though she has come to the village, she should not be too shabby. We will also add to his dowry."

Lin Shiyou stood in the corner and spoke, promising to help them, and Sanfang Lin Fu also said, "Shiyou is right, the Lin family only has this daughter, and our Sanfang should also add a little dowry."

The old man nodded in satisfaction, he turned his head to look at Dafang's family, "We have no money! We can't even get a cent out of it!" Dafang Linfa rarely made the decision, and everyone was stunned when he said it, the old man shook his head and looked back, Looking at Erfang's family with cloudy eyes, "Since Sanfang has helped, let's make it so. In a few days, we will have a meal for our family, so let's marry Lin Yanzi."

After discussing it, everyone went back to their respective rooms. Li Yu walked on the way to the academy with Lin Shiyou's arm in his arms and didn't speak. Don't be angry."

Li Yu chuckled: "Why do you ask me such a question?"

"Just now I said to add a dowry to Lin Yanzi, at least it cost a tael of silver. I made the decision without discussing it with you." Lin Shiyou said cautiously: "Xiao Yu, should I discuss it with you first?"

"Does Xianggong think I'm such a stingy person?" Li Yu deliberately teased him: "Or is it that I occupy the family's money and don't let you decide?"

Li Yu's tone made Lin Shiyou feel that he was not angry, and there was a smile on his face. Lin Shiyou also smiled, and said flatteringly: "I will keep the accounts at home, and you will be in charge of all the money."

Li Yu smiled and blinked, "Hmph, then I'll give you two taels of silver first this time."

Lin Shiyou stretched out his finger and tapped the tip of his nose, laughing all the way to the academy.The cafeteria didn't change the menu today, and still made steamed buns. Li Yu had all the ingredients ready, and he could make steamed stuffed buns directly in the academy after a while.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the academy, suddenly a man jumped out from the side and walked up to Lin Shiyou, and said loudly, "I'm Wang Lin, I want to visit Lin Juren!"
