After Xiuxian came back, I became a vegetable farmer

Lin’s mother hadn’t seen her sisters for a long time, so of course she wanted to treat her well. “Whatever you want to eat for lunch, I’ll ask Ah Qian to buy groceries.”

"No need to bother." The last time my aunt came to Xialing Village, it was when the house was built and held a banquet. Last time there were many people, so she could only take a rough look. Now she came again and couldn't help but say: "Your house is well built. It’s so open.”

"Now that the glass is good, the windows can be opened wider, so it looks bright." Lin's mother pulled her sister and sat down on the sofa.

"Where's Mom?" My aunt sat on the sofa and looked around, "Aren't Aqian and my brother-in-law here too?"

"Aqian took her mother out for a walk, and Lin Jianguo is in the fields."

When my aunt heard this, she stood up and said, "There is work in the fields. I don't want to sit here anymore. I want to go to the fields and help you do something."

"Oh, why are you so polite?" Mother Lin pulled her back, "There are people in the fields to help, why don't you go into the fields without looking at me?"

Lin's mother called Lin Qian as she spoke, "When will you two go home? Your aunt is here."

At this time, Lin Qian was taking her grandma to visit the snack street in the capital. When she heard this, she immediately rushed home with her grandma.

Before Lin's mother hung up the phone, Lin Qian arrived at the door of her house.

"Hey, aren't you coming back?" my aunt said.

"Auntie." Lin Qian greeted her. Grandma laughed out loud when she saw her, "Hey, why are you here?"

Mother Lin said, "Where have you been wandering around?"

"It's in the village."

"Let's talk to your aunt, and I'll make a cup of tea."

My aunt quickly said: "No, there's no need to be busy."

My aunt came here mainly to see her grandma. That's how ordinary people are nowadays. It's rare to have a rest throughout the year after working in a factory. It's rare for my aunt to be free today, so she hurried to Xialing Village to see her grandma.

After not seeing each other for a long time, naturally there was a lot to say. Lin Qian sat next to her and handed melon seeds to her aunt.

"Are you getting used to living here?" My aunt held grandma's hand and asked her how she was doing.

Grandma said: "Get used to it, you can stay here too."

My aunt knew that she was confused, so she was relieved to see that she was clean and in good spirits.

"Come, drink tea." Lin Ma brought out a cup of brewed tea. The water used was from the spiritual spring on the mountain, and the tea leaves were deliberately put in to cover it up.

Sure enough, my aunt just took a sip and praised: "This tea of ​​yours is really good. I wanted to ask last time I came here, what kind of tea is this? If it's not too expensive, I'll buy some too."

Mother Lin didn't know what to say for a while.

When it comes to nonsense, it has to be Lin Qian. Of course, she is also very skillful. Many times she mixes truth with falsehoods, like now, "Auntie, the good thing is not the tea leaves, but the water for making tea."

Mother Lin looked at Lin Qian and couldn't figure out what she wanted to do. Could it be that she wanted to tell someone about the abnormality on the mountain?
"water?"

"Yes, this water has a lot of history. It is a spring water near our village. It has a sweet taste." Lin Qian said, "I will put a bucket in it for you. You can make any tea you want when you go back."

"Really!"

"Of course it is." Lin Qian poured her a glass of water boiled from the spiritual spring.

"It really tastes better than ordinary water. You have this water on the mountain. You can build a mineral water factory to produce it."

"That's not necessary." Lin Qian said, "There are not many springs on the mountain."

In addition to visiting grandma, my aunt had other things to ask Mother Lin. She followed Mother Lin to the kitchen, and while helping to choose vegetables, she chatted: "Isn't Xiaogang getting married next month? How much money are you going to give?"

Mother Lin knew she was going to ask this question.The aunt said: "My idea is that our two families will give the same gift, so we can save this and that."

Mother Lin nodded, "I have the same idea. If you don't ask me, I have to ask you, how much do you want to give?"

"When Xiaoyun got married before, it was three thousand, right?"

"Hey, Xiaoyun, that happened several years ago." Lin's mother said.

"Yes, it would be a bit unsightly to give another three thousand now." The aunt sighed, "Now the price of everything has increased."

"Four,4000 yuan doesn't sound good."

"That's right." The aunt said, "How about five thousand?" When it came to five thousand, the aunt felt a little heartbroken. Now a month's salary is only about five thousand yuan. I gave a red envelope and gave away one month's salary. Why? Maybe it doesn't hurt.

Mother Lin raised a question at this time, "You said you were giving away five thousand. If the second sister-in-law and the others found out, what would they think?"

"Then I don't care what they think." The aunt took out the unprocessed bean sprouts next to her, "Xiaoyun got married early, and it was okay to give three thousand as a gift at that time. Now it's really ugly to give three thousand as a gift. It's mainly a gift from the woman's relatives. Much more, if we send less elder brothers and sisters here, they probably won’t be able to hold their heads high.”

"Hey." The aunt sighed heavily, "Giving money will cause trouble. When our two children get married in the future, we will agree that you can give me whatever money I give you, so as to save you trouble. This matter!"

"That's easy to say."

The aunt asked: "Then our two families have settled on five thousand?"

"Just five thousand."

"Okay." The aunt looked calm on the surface, but her heart was bleeding, "My elder brother called me that day and said that he wanted to buy a car and a house. It would cost a lot of money to get married.

I really can't afford to get married now. "

Mother Lin said: "Everyone is like this, but if you don't, it seems like you can't keep up, and there's nothing you can do about it."

The aunt said: "So now society says it is good to have a daughter.

But can the daughter actually afford it?If you don't contribute money to buy a house as a man, you don't know what will happen to your daughter when she lives in that house. They won't be happy. If you go back, this is not your home, and they will be angry to death. "

Mother Lin was convinced.

The aunt laughed as she spoke, "What kind of society do you think we are now? Children don't actually want to get married. Adults are urging you all day long to get married. They are really urging you to get married. They are spending money here and there, calculating this, calculating, then, how much?" People become enemies at the last step.

Who is this marriage for? "

Mother Lin shook her head, "Who knows, anyway, I have thought it through. If my Aqian finds someone like that, then she can marry her if she wants to. If she can't find him, then let her be.

If you really find an enemy, you will harm your child for life. "

"indeed."

Lin Qian didn't expect that her mother could think so clearly.

For ordinary people, the most important thing is birth, old age, illness and death. Giving up urging marriage means giving up the life of the next generation and accepting that your children will grow old, sick and die alone.

Even if you have children or a partner, you may not necessarily have someone to accompany you in the rest of your life, but without a partner, you will most likely have to face this by yourself.

For her mother to think this way, as an ordinary person, she can be considered a thorough thinker.

For Lin Qian, finding a partner is obviously meaningless and inexplicable. She has gone through countless life and death difficulties and has long since reconciled with loneliness and death.

She is strong enough to face the world on her own.

The longer she lives, the more inclined she becomes to the way of heaven.
