After dinner, Lu Jingchuan drove them to the guest house of the government agency. Except for their mother and daughter's luggage, all other things in the trunk were unloaded from the car.
After registering for a room, the group checked in with their luggage.
After the mother and daughter had settled their luggage, Zhou Lanqin opened the suitcase he brought in and said to his daughter-in-law: "Linglong, these are the clothes, pants and shoes for tomorrow's wedding. Mom is hurrying up according to the sizes provided by your aunt. It's custom-made. You can try the clothes on now to see if they still fit. If they don't fit, I will change the size for you immediately."
"Thank you, Mom."
Gong Linglong smiled and thanked him first, washed his hands before going over to get some clothes to try on.
What her mother-in-law prepared for her was a red woolen coat, which was very fashionable these days, and only wealthy families in the city could afford it.
The style of the clothes is quite satisfactory, but she is tall and slender, with fair skin. The red clothes make her complexion look better, and she looks particularly good on her body.
Gong Linglong put on her clothes and walked around in front of them with a smile as bright as a flower: "Does it look good?"
"nice."
Lu Jingchuan was the first to answer, and added: "My wife is the most beautiful."
Zhou Lanqin laughed when she heard that, seeing that his heart was full of his wife, and that he really liked Linglong. She smiled and answered: "Linglong is beautiful, with fair skin and pretty face. She even looks good in a sack."
Bai Narcissus stood aside and said nothing, but her gentle eyes were full of smiles. Seeing her daughter in her wedding dress, she also remembered what happened when she got married.
At that time, her parents were still alive and her brothers were high-spirited. In order to buy the best dowry for her, they started preparing it three months in advance. They used the best red foreign cloth at that time, and my mother sewed it by hand according to her favorite style.
When she got married, she was very prosperous, but it ended in divorce in just two years.
Pictures of the past flashed through her mind frame by frame, and she was filled with emotions. Thinking that tomorrow was her daughter's wedding day, she immediately suppressed all the unpleasant memories in her mind and stepped forward to help her daughter sort them out carefully.
The clothes, pants, and shoes all fit well, and there was no need to change the size. Gong Linglong changed them and put them back in the box after trying them on.
Zhou Lanqin helped fold the clothes, and then handed the iron box with the red word "Happy" on it into the hands of their mother and daughter, "My mother-in-law, Linglong, I asked my sister to tell you about the betrothal gift. After three rounds and one ring, I have bought it and put it in the army's new house. This is the gift money, you keep it."
Bai Narcissus did not accept the box and said: "My mother-in-law, thank you for your respect for Linglong. Let the young couple keep the money for safekeeping."
"OK."
Zhou Lanqin is also a cheerful person and understands what her mother-in-law means. She hands the box to her daughter-in-law, "Linglong, I will leave this money to you. You will have the final say on all household expenses in the future."
"Jingchuan should have told you about the situation at home. Their father and I have been divorced for many years. Both sons are brought up by me. Their father pays child support on time until they are 18 years old."
"This time Jingchuan got married, his father also gave him a gift of 1,288 yuan, and he gave him 600 yuan."
"After Jingchuan and Jingyang started working, I didn't ask them to hand over their wages and income. I let them keep it all for themselves."
"Now that you are married, Jingchuan's salary allowance will be handed over to you for safekeeping. From now on, you can run your own family well."
"Besides, mom has a job, income, and a pension in the future, so you don't need to contribute to the money. In the future, if you have children or buy a family property, if you are under financial pressure, mom will try her best to help support you."
The mother-in-law is open-minded and reasonable, which is the honor of the daughter-in-law. Gong Linglong smiled and promised: "Mom, don't worry, we will trust and respect each other, support each other and work hard together, and we will run the family well together, and we will definitely live happily." .”
"Good children, your happy life is my mother's greatest happiness."
As Zhou Lanqin spoke, she took out a gold bracelet from her body, put it in her palm, and said, "Linglong, this is a gift from mom, please keep it carefully and wear it again when you have the opportunity in the future."
"Mom, this is too expensive."
The gold bracelets these days are all real. This bracelet is so heavy that Gong Linglong is a little flattered.
"These bracelets are a pair. They were a dowry given to me by your grandmother. When she gave them to me, she sincerely hoped that I would have a happy marriage. However, her subsequent divorce failed to live up to her expectations. Mom is now passing on the bracelet to you, and the other one is For my future daughter-in-law in Jingyang, I hope you will receive my grandma’s blessings.”
The elders have said so, Gong Linglong no longer refuses, "Mom, we will do it."
After giving away the bracelet, Zhou Lanqin took a bunch of red envelopes from the bag and put them all in her hand.
"This is a wedding gift from your grandparents, grandparents, two uncles, aunts, and two married cousins. I wrote my name on the red envelope and gave it all to you to keep."
With so many red envelopes, Gong Linglong felt that there was a lot of money in them, so he joked with Lu Jingchuan: "Brother Jing, we are rich."
"Ah."
Lu Jingchuan chuckled and saw that her eyes were shining like a little money man. He took out a bankbook from the inner pocket of his clothes and put it in her hand, "Comrade Gong Linglong, I will leave this to you for safekeeping. From now on, you can count happily at home." Money."
Gong Linglong didn't open the bankbook to read it, but teased him in front of her mother-in-law: "My eldest baby is really smart."
Lu Jingchuan: "..."
"Ha ha."
Zhou Lanqin laughed heartily.
She could finally see that the eldest daughter-in-law was lively and interesting, and her eldest son's married life would no longer be boring and boring.
Lu Jingyang, who was sitting at the table eating oranges, was also very happy. This sister-in-law is really good and an interesting person. His brother is blessed in this life.
Lu Jingchuan was helpless and funny. He stretched out his hand to pout her cheek gently, his eyes flashed with a faint light. He would let her know the consequences of teasing tomorrow.
The three of them, mother and son, sat in the room for more than half an hour, talking with Gong Linglong about tomorrow's wedding arrangements. At about four o'clock, they got up and went back. The wedding was almost ready, but some trivial matters still needed to be done. Have to go back and deal with it.
The mother and daughter did not rest in the guest house. They put all their valuables into the space and hurried out to hang out.
Seoul is a large city in central China with developed water transportation and economy. The area of the city center is much larger than that of Tancheng. The streets in the old city are particularly lively and prosperous. Although the variety of things available for purchase is far less than that of later generations, today's simple and unique The atmosphere of the era made Gong Linglong enjoy it.
The last time Bai Narcissus came to Seoul was thirty years ago. Nowadays, great changes have taken place. Except for some places of interest, everything else is unfamiliar and vague. She was also very enthusiastic about shopping today.
The mother and daughter walked around for two hours and returned to the guest house near dusk. They had a simple bowl of local noodles in the evening, then went to bed early to rest and be in the best spirit to welcome tomorrow's wedding.
