The wedding banquet in this era is much inferior to that of the previous life. The previous life was rich in resources, and the second wedding banquet must have more than ten or twenty high-end dishes, such as dragons, crabs, crocodiles... everything.
In the wedding banquet here, there are only eight dishes including meat and vegetables, including a plate of fried peanuts and a plate of sour radish... However, it is already very decent.
The mouths of the people at the table were full of greasy food, and every plate was cleaned. The two half-year-old boys at the same table were probably very hungry on weekdays and ate very vigorously.
Lu Lin suddenly remembered what happened when he was a child in his previous life. When he was a child, his family was poor, and what he looked forward to the most was to visit relatives. If someone invited guests, he would report it early. At that time, if there was a plate of rare pistachios on the table, the table would be full of people. all staring.
However, later, when the living conditions improved, everyone felt that it was a bit troublesome to have dinner together in the country, and they had to pinch it every time.
After the abundance of supplies, there are a lot of nuts on Taobao, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money to eat them, but the food is not as good as the ones Lu Lin ate in the past. The food on the table has limited attraction for him. I didn't move my chopsticks much.
The others were different. Except for Lu Lin, most of the people at the table were eating sullenly, for fear of losing money.
After attending the wedding banquet, Lu Lin went to Uncle Zhou's place and gave him some rice.
The old Orion was a little embarrassed about always taking things from Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi for nothing, and repeatedly declined, but at Lu Lin's insistence, the old Orion still took them.
I went down to the countryside, picked some vegetables from the village, and returned to the town.
Lu Lin was driving the carriage, thinking of Chen Xiaomi's sleepy look, he always felt a little uneasy.
As soon as Lu Lin returned to the house in the town, Chen Xiaocai came out happily, and said happily, "Brother Lin, my brother has a baby."
Lu Lin couldn't help being surprised when he heard Chen Xiaocai's words.
It suddenly occurred to Lu Lin that Xiaomi seemed to be feeling sleepy a lot recently, and his appetite seemed to have increased. Unexpectedly, he had a baby. Lu Lin immediately felt an indescribable sense of excitement. Apart from the excitement, there was also a magical feeling.
Chen Xiaomi lay lazily on the bed, glanced at Lu Lin, "Are you back?"
"Are you okay! What did the doctor say?" Lu Lin calmed down and asked.
"The doctor said that I am in good health, so there should be no problem. I am in good health. How can he say that? Xiaocai is very nervous. She must lie down with me. This brat is getting more and more shameless now, and he has become my master." " Chen Xiaomi said sullenly.
Lu Lin looked at the wayward Chen Xiaomi, smiled helplessly, and said, "Xiaocai is also worried about you. I heard from Xiaocai that it has been two months."
Lu Lin scratched his head, vaguely feeling that he was a bit confused, Chen Xiaomi had been there for two months, yet he didn't see any clues.
Chen Xiaomi patted his stomach and said, "I don't feel anything at all."
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi and said, "It's better to be careful..."
"How's Zhang's food?" Chen Xiaomi asked.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "It's okay."
Chen Xiaomi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Go, no one said anything about you, right?" Chen Xiaomi knew that Lu Lin's reputation was better than his, but since he was married to him, it wasn't much better.
"Everyone is very polite. I told them that those people are very envious of the salary of two taels of silver a month." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi tilted his head. The migrant workers in the town only have 2 liang of stewards. There are no ordinary long-term workers. The income of dozens of taels, plus the sale of wine, is still very easy on hand, only two taels of silver, Lu Lin has already said very implicitly.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin and said, "How much money have you saved recently?"
"It's almost one hundred taels."
Chen Xiaomi was full of surprises and said, "Didn't you make a lot of money?"
Lu Lin said helplessly: "The cost is too high! There are so many female workers who have to pay, and moreover, another batch of expensive cloth has been brought in..."
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin for a while, and said: "Our family eats too extravagantly." There are several dishes every day, which is too extravagant. Chen Xiaomi never dreamed that life could be like this , Every day there is only meat, if you want to eat some dim sum, you can buy it casually.
Lu Lin tilted his head, and said, "If you are alive, what fun is there if you don't eat delicious food?" One of the biggest advantages in this world is that the food is all natural. The dishes are very delicious.
Chen Xiaomi curled her lips and said, "You are picky eaters and you still make excuses, I want to eat ice."
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "You've already eaten one, it's not good to eat more."
Chen Xiaomi gave Lu Lin a sharp look, vaguely resenting you for coming again.
Lu Lin smiled and said, "I heard from people at the wedding that Li Fangyue and Lin Xiu'er are both pregnant." Some people also said that Chen Xiaomi might not be able to give birth, but there is no need to tell Chen Xiaomi about such things.
Chen Xiaomi opened his eyes wide, tilted his head, and said, "They all rushed together!"
Lu family.
Pregnancy in the family is a happy event, but it is not always a happy event.
Tang Shi has been a little bored recently. After Lin Xiu'er was pregnant with her child, she put off many things, and Li Fangyue followed suit.
If Tang Shi argues with Lin Xiuer for a few words, Lin Xiuer will pretend to be sick, and Tang Shi can't do anything for a while.
After Lin Xiu'er became pregnant, Lu An's wages were not paid on time, and she said she had to keep them for emergencies.
The old lady had a preference for her younger son, so she didn't go into it.
However, the money in the family can only go out but not in, and it is a bit awkward for a while.
The old lady said very depressed: "One or two can only eat and not work. This Cheng Yu is about to finish his cultivation again. The students in the academy are all high and low. If they have no money, But if people look down on you, what should you do?"
Pens, inks, papers and inkstones all cost money, and the things in this field are not ready yet.
The old man looked at the old lady and said, "It's really not possible, let's sell another acre of land."
The old lady was full of reluctance and said: "Sell another acre of land?" Isn't it because of the large amount of land that the Lu family can live in the village? In order for Cheng Yu to get married, he had already sold two acres of land. The more the land is sold, the less it will be.
The old man sighed and said, "With so much land, isn't it too much for the family to plant now?" If the tenants go out to plant for others, after paying taxes, there will not be much left. "
The old lady sighed. During the spring planting season, every one in the family would be more lazy than the other, so the old lady had to ask someone to plant it. However, when the spring is busy, basically every household is busy, and the manpower is very abundant and in short supply. You can hire someone with twenty or so liters, but when the farming is busy, no one is willing to do it for forty or fifty liters.
The old lady hadn't been in the ground for several years, and she almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
It took a lot to hire someone, but it made the old lady feel bad.
"I heard that that stinky boy Lu Lin found a job in the town and got two taels of silver a month." Wang said with some displeasure.
Lu Lin went to the Zhang family's wedding, and the nonsensical salary of two taels of silver spread quickly in the village, and naturally it also reached the ears of the old lady.
Mrs. Wang has always believed that the second child is a stupefaction, and Lu Lin, the second child, is unlucky and incompetent. I heard that Lu Lin found a job in the town and still has two taels of silver a month. The old lady immediately felt a little bit unhappy. Refreshed.
Wang has always been proud of the job of the fourth child, but when he found out that Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi had found jobs with the same salary as Lu An, Wang immediately felt that it was impossible.
The old man sighed, feeling a little complicated.
The ten fingers are long or short, and the old man is also biased. Although it is not as serious as the old lady, he doesn't care about the second child's family.
"What's your idea?" the old man asked.
Mrs. Wang said sullenly: "Chen Xiaomi's twins are eccentric, maybe they can't have children at all. I'm afraid that the money Lu Lin earns will be cheaper than Chen Xiaomi's two oily younger brothers." If you really earn two taels of silver a month, you will have more than twenty taels a year.
Wang suddenly felt that it was a big loss for Chen Xiaomi to marry Lu Lin, and she only wanted Chen Xiaomi ten taels of silver.
The old man is also a little bit pained, the second room is gone, the old man is starting to think about the second room. Recently, the family has been arguing about farming, cooking, laundry, chopping firewood, carrying water and so on.
The old man suddenly discovered that when the second wife was here, there were so many things at home, and the work in the field would not be unattended.
"I'm afraid Lu Lin won't be able to suppress a brat like Chen Xiaomi. Chen Xiaomi should be in charge of the wages." The old man sighed.
This land needs to be raised. In the past, when the second wife was here, the second child would go to the river beach to get some silt or something to make fertilizer from time to time. After the second child left, the harvest of this land seemed to be not as good as before. I am afraid that this land is It's getting heavier and thinner.
Mrs. Wang said cursingly, "Lu Lin, a stinky brat, has learned the same ungratefulness as Chen Xiaomi." The old man was also a little surprised by Lu Lin's actions.
From the old man's point of view, even if Lu Lin gets married, he won't lose contact with this place. However, the fact is that after Lu Lin got married and went out, the family asked him to help with things, but he refused.
The old man didn't expect that before Lu Lin got married, he had already changed the core.
If it was the original owner, with a few good words from the Lu family, it is really possible to come back to work obediently, and it is possible to dump the things from Chen Xiaomi’s house back to the Lu family. Foolish and filial people.
Lu Chengyu sat in the room, reviewing the book, but couldn't read a single word.
Lu Lin was invited to the wedding banquet of Zhang Dazhu's family, but he was not invited, which made Lu Chengyu very depressed. I heard that both Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi found jobs in the town, and Lu Chengyu was even more unhappy.
When people in the village mentioned Lu Lin before, most of them said that Lu Lin was honest, but he had no skills. When Lu Lin was mentioned in this meeting, many people changed their tone, saying that Lu Lin is actually pretty good, and he is also very energetic, but he was squeezed hard by the Lu family before, so he couldn't tell.
Lu Chengyu felt that in the words of the villagers, there was a little bit of being unworthy of Lu Lin, and there was also a little bit of accusing grandma of partiality, which was a bit unpleasant.
Thinking that he would be able to make a fortune in the future, no matter how promising Lu Lin was, he would be just a handyman.
