Ch 320: Qin Huairu 6
Lin Lang smiled and didn’t say anything, because a major event was about to happen, and she really had to take this opportunity to marry herself off quickly.
After Old Man He went back, he didn’t dare delay. The next day, he had the matchmaker come to propose marriage, and he specially cut a few pounds of meat, bought two pounds of pastries, and even took out his Old Woman’s previous dowry. He really took out all his sincerity.
Mother Qin also knew that her daughter was very stubborn. Since coming back, although she had become much more beautiful, she had also gained more knowledge, and she made her own decisions on many things.
Mother Qin originally thought that the girl had grown up and had her own skills, so she didn’t want to interfere too much, but she didn’t expect this wretched girl to have settled her own life. Fortunately, although the future son-in-law was a bit young, he was at least a cook with a skill, and the family also had a house. It was just a pity that there was no Mother-in-Law, and the future days would probably be difficult.
The two families set the wedding date after the New Year. Besides, there wasn’t much time left until the New Year, so the marriage was quite rushed, mainly because both families had their own thoughts.
Lin Lang was not idle during this time preparing for her wedding at home. She focused on reviewing at home and also made a set of clothes and a pair of shoes for each of her future father-in-law, husband, and younger sister.
He Yuzhu didn’t expect to be able to wear new clothes after his own Mom passed away. He was so happy that he didn’t know what to say. Thinking that his wife’s family was also in difficulty, he gritted his teeth and took out the money he had saved over the years and made a pair of gold earrings for his wife.
Lin Lang was quite touched in her heart, and she properly packed up her things and prepared for her wedding at home with peace of mind.
Mother Qin was still very reluctant to let go of this daughter. In fact, over the years, her daughter had done a lot for this family. In the beginning, the family was so poor that they were about to drink the Northwest Wind, and the Old Man was also sick. It had come to the point of selling their sons and daughters. If it hadn’t been for the girl working for other people’s families outside, the whole family would have starved to death.
Later, when the family recovered, the daughter often brought money back from outside, and life became better and better. Now that the daughter was getting married, Mother Qin gritted her teeth and prepared a generous dowry for her daughter.
Just the quilts alone were three, two thick and one thin. Then she prepared several quilt backs, and even prepared two sets of new clothes, as well as several large camphor wood boxes.
“Throughout the nearby villages, this dowry is considered unique. And the things that people sent before as the bottom of the box, I will also leave them all to you. After you marry, live a good life.” Mother Qin wiped her tears and urged.
Lin Lang smiled and nodded, thinking that it was also difficult at home, and then took out a few silver dollars and handed them to her mother.
“Mom, this is the money I’ve saved over the years. He Yuzhu has skills, so he definitely won’t let me starve. I won’t need this money.”
“Recently, the outside world is not peaceful. You and my dad should take advantage of the fact that no one is around to secretly buy some food and store it in our family’s cellar. Anyway, this thing won’t spoil for four or five years if it’s stored properly.”
Mother Qin, who had also come from that year, also knew that once a war started, the lives of ordinary people would not be easy, especially since prices had soared in recent years, and their family had no land, so they really should consider the future. It’s just that she really didn’t want to spend these silver dollars.
Although Mother Qin was reluctant, she still spent money to buy several hundred pounds of coarse grains and stored them at home, along with some potatoes and sweet potatoes, which would probably last for a long time.
There were still two young boys in the family, and it was the time when they could eat the most, and the family needed money everywhere.
After the New Year, Lin Lang got married. On the wedding night, looking at the little brat whose hair hadn’t even grown, Lin Lang had no intention of consummating the marriage with him. She directly told him to wait until he was 18 years old.
He Yuzhu naturally listened to his Wife obediently, being simple and silly, only knowing how to giggle. But thinking about it, being able to marry such a beautiful wife was indeed like finding money.
◈◈◈
As a result, on the third day of the marriage, her own Father-in-Law left the family behind and ran away. But at least he did one good thing before leaving, which was to stuff He Yuzhu into a factory to work as a cook, so that at least the family had food to eat.
Although Lin Lang knew the original story, she couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. After settling the affairs at home, she hurriedly found jobs for her two older brothers. Finally, before the National Day, she found them jobs as workers in a cotton mill.
Although it was a bit tiring, at least they would have a secure job in the future and wouldn’t have to dig for food in the fields. You should know that the lives of farmers in the future would not be easy.
Their family lived in a large courtyard house. Although there were only three people in their family, the house was quite large. Before, some people had tried to take over their house, but Lin Lang had scolded them back.
“Although there are only three people in our family now, it doesn’t mean that there will only be three people in our family in the future. We are a newly married couple, and maybe we will have children one day.”
“If we give up the house, where will our children live then? Although we should promote the spirit [of helping others], it doesn’t mean that we should donate the things that our family needs. If you dare to take our house, that’s the same as cutting off our family’s livelihood. At that time, I will hang myself at your doorstep.”
Both of their families were upright and revolutionary, not to mention that Lin Lang had also helped the organization before, contributed such a large sum of money, and even helped them provide so much useful information. She was a typical advanced Comrade. Lin Lang even relied on her relationship with them to attend night school.
Their house was at least a little bigger than in her previous life. Although it wasn’t a separate small courtyard, it had four or five rooms in the front and back, and two small bungalows in the back, with a cellar underneath.
Although the courtyard was crowded with people coming and going, fortunately their family was a little quieter. They could close the door and live their own lives, without being disturbed by the people outside.
After Lin Lang graduated, she directly entered her own Husband’s factory, but she went to work as a designer, and her salary was also higher than theirs.
Lin Lang made a lot of useful small appliances. The first was a water heater for boiling water. Don’t underestimate this thing. First of all, it was a water heater. Ordinary people didn’t have this thing. The only drawback was that the water wouldn’t stop boiling after it was boiled, and it would continue to boil. Therefore, people needed to watch it by the side and unplug the power cord after the water was boiling.
After the water heater, then came the electric fan, and then the washing machine. The washing machine was particularly large and bulky, and could only do some simple cleaning. It couldn’t do deep cleaning, but it was already very impressive. At least it could help people dehydrate clothes and save a lot of manpower.
After He Yuzhu turned eighteen, the two of them got together. Speaking of which, they had experienced a lot of gossip over the years. Many people said that they had been together for several years, but they still didn’t have children. Could it be that one of them couldn’t have children?
But Lin Lang turned a deaf ear and lived her own life. So when she became pregnant, she almost made those people’s jaws drop.
Xu Damao was so jealous that his eyes turned red. This He Sha Zhu was too lucky. He married such a beautiful wife, and the key was that his wife was also capable. The family lived in such a large house, and now they had children. They wouldn’t have to worry about anything in the future, unlike himself, who didn’t even have a wife.
Old Madam Jia, who lived diagonally across from them, was also very jealous of Sha Zhu, feeling that although this person was a bit silly, he was really lucky. Although her own son also married a beautiful and capable wife, that wife was ultimately a village girl and had no future.
