Feeling that there was someone at the door of the kitchen, Li Qin looked back, startled her, walked over and slapped her brother.
"You guy, you walk silently, you don't even say hello when you come over, you just stand at the door like a ghost."
Li Chu smiled bitterly and rubbed his arm: "I saw you, but there was too much movement inside you, so I didn't hear it."
"Humph" Li Qin gave his younger brother a look, and returned to the stove to continue frying sesame leaves.
"Did you go to the hospital just now?"
"Well, I went over to say hello to the dean, and asked for a leave for Qiu Nan, so that I can go back to work after the new year."
When Li Qin mentioned Qiunan, she gave her younger brother another look.
She had just gone over there, so of course she knew that her sister-in-law was still asleep.
Needless to say, it must have been her brother who tortured me so much last night and couldn't get up today.
Li Chu's sister's rolling eyes made Li Chu confused, "What the hell is this? How could it just be like this?"
But he wisely didn't ask, this woman is the same no matter young or old, no matter what age she is, she often behaves strangely.
"Sister, where's Jiayuan? She shouldn't have a holiday."
"It's a holiday. Linli's work unit assigned her a house. My wife enthusiastically followed her to clean the house. The two of them also discussed how to decorate it."
"Let her see that my uncle is getting her a set of modular furniture as a dowry."
"You have the money to burn it. The furniture was all made by the man's family, how can we give it to you?"
"Oh sister, these are all old ideas of yours, you don't pay attention to that now."
Li Qin glanced at her younger brother and waved her hand: "Don't tell me this, any new or old ideas. I just accept this. It's their family's wife. Why do you want to dip your fingers in salt?"
"
Li Chu looked at his sister dumbfounded.
He understood that his sister couldn't make sense here. Forget it, let her alone. Anyway, the Lin family's financial resources should be relatively strong.
"Let me tell you Xiao Chu, the two children have a good relationship, and they are indeed engaged. But this only means that your brother-in-law and I will not set up any more obstacles. It does not mean that the man's family will no longer have to bear the responsibilities.
.
We are marrying a daughter, and we will not pay any less for the dowry we should have, and we can even give a little more, but we will not insist on paying for things that are not our responsibility, so that others will look down on us and think that our daughter is our daughter.
It’s like you can’t get married.”
Only now did Li Chu understand his sister's intentions. What he had been thinking before was wrong, and what his sister said was right.
It’s not like our daughter can’t get married, and we don’t want anything extra. We will provide the dowry, but you can’t skip the responsibility that belongs to your husband’s family.
I learned it, this is the wisdom of the older generation.
Li Qin took out the fried sesame leaves from the pot, added some more, and stirred them in the pot with a whisk.
"What's going on, Xiao Chu, have you figured it out?"
"I understand, sister, thank you, you taught me a lesson."
"You, you still have a lot to learn. Just like Wenxuan and Wenhui, if Wenxuan and Yueyue get married in the future, you and Junzi will have a good relationship, but the betrothal gift must not be less. You can't think that
, Yueyue won’t marry anyone other than your family’s Wenxuan, so we’ll use this to bully others.”
"Sister, what you said is wrong. Qiunan and I have already prepared the betrothal gifts and other gifts for Junzi and his family!"
"That's more or less the same. The other thing is, although there are many houses in your courtyard, you'd better buy a new house for the young couple. Whether they can live in it or not is the business of Wenxuan and Yueyue. Whether they can do it or not
It has become our business. We can’t let others find fault with our Lao Li family.”
"Sister, you mean, let me prepare a building for them?"
Li Qin nodded: "I think young people may prefer to live in a building. If you like to live in a detached house, it may be too much for young people."
"Sister, isn't our building better than that building? Whose building dares to say it is better than ours!"
"You are right, but you can see far when you stand high!"
"Uh..." What you said makes sense, but I am speechless.
"Sister, there's no need to worry now, Wenxuan still has six years left to graduate!"
"When I mention this, I get angry. I can't learn anything. I have to learn what you learned before. What's so good about it? Eight years! All the little devils have been driven away! I'm still waiting to hug our old Li family.
As for their eldest grandson, this is a good time. When Wenxuan and Yueyue’s child comes out, I don’t know if I can hold him or not.”
Li Chusan walked up behind Li Qin with a smile and squeezed her shoulders: "Sister, don't get angry, time goes by so fast, it's just a blink of an eye! Besides, I'll take care of you and my brother-in-law's health.
You must have a deep understanding of how your body is now. Let alone seven or eight years, you will still be able to hold me in two more seven or eight years."
"Stop talking nonsense to me, get out of here and leave me alone." Li Qin shook her shoulders, shook off her brother's hand, and fished out the sesame leaves from the pot.
Then he pointed to a basin next to him and said, "Give me that basin, and I'll fry some small twists and oil horns for us."
This is the advantage of this independent courtyard. Once the door is closed, I can eat and cook whatever I want. This is not the case in a building. If someone cooks something, the whole building will know."
Li Chu wanted to laugh when he mentioned this. During that special period, my sister and brother-in-law didn't dare to cook anything delicious at home, for fear that someone would get jealous and sue them.
Every week on Sunday, when I have my day off, I come to him for a toothpaste ceremony.
Good guy, when the family of three came over and saw the meat, their eyes lit up green.
Although those days were a bit worrying and scary, looking back on it, it seemed quite interesting. It was a special experience in life.
"I'll go back and think of a solution. I'm not in a hurry anyway. I'll definitely be able to find a way to buy a building.
By the way, sister, I haven’t asked you since I came back. After I left last year, did you complete the property registration?"
"Well, it's been registered, but you're not here either. The apartment at your house is in Qiunan's name, this one is in my name, and the one next door is in Wenhui's name. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you mean
Don’t ask for anything, just say it’ll be great if they can live in it. A son-in-law like you can’t be found even with a lantern.”
"As for the two elders, I have no choice but to let them go. It doesn't matter if it is registered in Wen Hui's name, then it will be her future dowry!"
"Hey, once you get rid of the dowry, what will you do if you let other families marry a girl?"
"I don't care about her other family. I have the ability to make things better for my daughter!"
