Chapter 187
At noon, Lin Guoxiang's family accompanied Gao Dashu to have a blessing meal at the old man's place. Father Lin and Mrs. Zhao asked the eldest daughter-in-law Mrs. Gao Dashu's shy face was full of smiles.He was not as good at talking as others, he just thanked everyone one after another, and in the end it was Old Lin who spoke before he stopped.

Everyone in the Lin family also knew that this in-law's young uncle was a quiet and reticent character, so they didn't say anything about his behavior, they just smiled very kindly and said a few auspicious words by the way.Everyone also knew that it was the third year that the in-laws and sister-in-law got married, and it was hard for a 21-year-old to get pregnant. Everyone in the Lin family was also very happy for her.

However, Lin Guoxiang was very puzzled by Mrs. Zhao asking his elder sister-in-law He and third sister-in-law Gu to give Gao Dashu the small clothes worn by their nephews and nieces before. She originally wanted to ask, but her head turned around quickly. Immediately figured out what was going on.It turns out that there is an unwritten rule in the countryside here. Everyone thinks that letting their newborns wear old clothes sent by some women and children can ensure that the children will not die young, which seems to have the meaning of adding blessings.

After thinking about this, Lin Guoxiang was speechless about it, probably because children in this era are too difficult to raise, especially newborn babies, because there are many people who lack medical care and medicine, so few are born. It was a child's death, so everyone agreed that letting the baby wear the old clothes worn by the children of some women's families would save their own children.In fact, Lin Guoxiang thinks that this is probably only a superficial meaning, and the biggest motivation is probably because it can save the unexpectedness of making clothes.

After all, rural areas are no better than those living in cities and towns. Every time we weave cloth, we sell it and sell it for some change to subsidize the family. To be honest, I really don’t want to take out some new cloth for nothing to make clothes for children.So making up such an excuse can save a lot of surprises?

Ahem, think too far.Lin Guoxiang felt that she was a little bit of a villain mentality, so who doesn't have a newborn child, and if such a small child is Feibu, where can it be spent?It is probably for the good of the children, otherwise why would Baijiayi be popular here.

I seem to remember that a few days ago when I took out some winter clothes at the bottom of the press box to dry, Mrs. Zhao also took out a coarse cloth package with yellow eyes. Lin Guoxiang was still curious at the time, and followed Lin Fanghou and the others to go over to see what was inside. The things made the old lady so precious, but when a few people opened the coarse cloth package and shook out the contents, including Lin Guoxiang, all adults and children were embarrassed.

Inside the coarse cloth package were neatly stacked five or six pieces of clothes stitched together with rags, commonly known as Baijia clothes...

When Mrs. Zhao saw the clothes they were holding in their hands, she told a few allusions, and finally told Lin Guoxiang that there was one of them that she wore when she was a child, which made Lin Guoxiang even more embarrassing.But thinking about it now, it's also an expression of parents pouring love into their children.

Thinking of this, Lin Guoxiang went to look at the baby clothes in Gao Dashu's hand, raised her eyebrows unnaturally, and then sneaked a glance at the elder sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, her heart awry.According to memory, the clothes worn by this child, especially the baby of a family with both sons and daughters, are the most precious in the eyes of the villagers. They are usually reserved for future grandchildren. Now the old lady asked He and Gu to wear clothes. Shi each took out a few small clothes and gave them to Gao Dashu, who knows how much his heart hurts right now, hehe.

Lin Guoxiang was thinking unkindly in her heart, and at the same time asked a few children to rush to put watermelon, fruit and other food on the donkey cart that Gao Dashu came to. She was afraid that Gao Dashu would refuse, so she just said yes As a snack for Wang Tao, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and these melons and fruits could be placed on a plate as offerings.

The tall tree couldn't hold back Lin Guoxiang, so he had to take everything back.

After sending Gao Dashu away, Lin Guoxiang talked with Mrs. Zhao and several sister-in-laws for a while before slowly walking back. As soon as she got home, she saw a scholar coming to meet her before she entered the door. Startled.She reached out and patted her chest, and said angrily, "What are you doing, are you trying to scare me to death?" Don't you know that scaring people can scare people to death?

The scholar's face was a little embarrassed by Lin Guoxiang's words, his ears turned red slightly, and then he moved away slowly to let Lin Guoxiang enter the door, and then he seemed hesitant to speak.

Even Lin Guoxiang, who was so nervous and able to fly a plane, also noticed the abnormality of the scholar, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

"..." Asked so bluntly by Lin Guoxiang, the scholar froze, thinking, can't you be more tactful?How can I answer you if you ask me like this?
But Xiucai also knows that Lin Guoxiang's temper is always straightforward. If you talk to her or beat around the bush, even if she understands it, she will pretend not to understand it on purpose. be yourself.

So he took a deep breath, Xiucai hesitated for a moment, and then said to Lin Guoxiang in a discussing tone: "Guoxiang, it seems that the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, I wonder if I can...cough cough..." Lin Guoxiang Xiang Na stared at her like an X-ray, and Xiucai suddenly felt his scalp go numb, and the hairs all over his body would stand on end.Anyone who knows her well knows that this is a sign of her anger.

"Want to give something to your elder brother again?" Lin Guoxiang managed to see the embarrassment on Xiucai's face as soon as Lin Guoxiang finished speaking. It was obvious that she guessed it.This time, Lin Guoxiang felt a little suffocated. She had only heard that a married daughter cheated on her natal family, but she had never heard that a younger uncle who was married and had a wife and son would cheat on her eldest brother. Let her put it on the stall?Could it be that her thinking of a modern person is too realistic, not as "simple" as that of an ancient person?
Stretching out a hand to press down the faintly protruding veins on her forehead, Lin Guoxiang took a deep breath and tried to restrain her anger, trying to make her tone sound gentle: "I don't understand, why do you If you have something at home, you just want to send it to your elder brother’s house? It’s fine once or twice this time, but you can’t always do this, can you?”

Glancing at the embarrassing scholar, Lin Guoxiang continued: "It's not that I'm stingy, but we don't have such rules here, right? I know you love your elder brother, but you don't even look at who your sister-in-law is, you Even if you really send the food to your eldest brother, you can eat it? I don’t think so, have you forgotten the chicken, duck and fish you sent over a while ago, and it’s not all cheap in the end. Your sister-in-law’s natal family people?"

When Xiucai heard Lin Guoxiang's words, her fair face flushed a little, and her eyebrows frowned.

Seeing this, Lin Guoxiang decided to give him a strong dose of medicine: "Don't forget, your eldest sister's family knows what our family will look like after we have a bicycle. Your sister-in-law is probably better than me. If you really let her Knowing that this gourd-shaped watermelon, which can sell for about ten taels of silver, was grown by our family, just wait and catch thieves every day.” Maybe there will be even bigger troubles waiting for them, that is, the bicycle thing Lin Guo Xiang vaguely felt that something was wrong. If more people knew that the auspicious gourd-shaped watermelon was planted by her, she wondered if something bad would happen.

After listening to Lin Guoxiang's words, Xiucai tightly pursed her lips and stopped talking, so the two fell into silence all of a sudden.

It was not until a while later that Xiucai said in a hoarse voice, "That's all." After speaking, he sighed and entered the study with a somewhat desolate figure.Lin Guoxiang looked at his back, her eyebrows frowned into a pimple, thinking in her heart that she should find a time to have a good talk with him, or else it will be okay if this continues?
　It’s hard to code it out, I’m so anxious that my stomach hurts...

　　Tomorrow morning, I will get up to type and try to make up what I owed in the past two days...
