Chapter 41 Why lock the door in broad daylight?
"Aunt, what are you doing?"

The cloth bag that Chen Huihong gave was full of ten-yuan notes. Judging from the thickness, it was estimated that there were at least five hundred yuan.

"Your brothers Dian Hai and Dian Yang got married early, so there is nothing for me to worry about in their lives."

"I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to get married, so I have been secretly saving money for you to get married over the years."

"I just gave this money to Lin Jiao as your wedding gift, but she said she didn't want anything. So you can make your own arrangements."

Chen Hui took out the money and counted it one by one.

Five hundred and sixty yuan is a very auspicious number.

Each photo shows Chen Huihong's love for her younger brother and older nephew.

"Aunt, tell me the truth, how many years have you saved this money?"

"It wasn't long, just four or five years! I only saved ten dollars a month, it was easy."

"I remember that four or five years ago, my uncle only made about 10 or 20 yuan a month, right?"

"Well, you remembered it wrong."

Chen Hui put the money back on the red cloth and wrapped it up again.

As far as I can remember, many of the clothes I wore and the stationery I used when I was a child were bought by Chen Huihong.

Later, when his parents had an accident, he was mostly raised by Chen Huihong.

As an aunt, I am the epitome of countless sisters in rural areas who support their brothers.

Influenced by the culture of the time, people have taken this for granted since childhood, and even Wu Shuisheng thinks there is nothing wrong with it.

"Aunt, I don't want this money."

"Take it and ask the village to issue a certificate, and buy the wasteland near the sea. These five hundred yuan can buy a large piece of land."

Chen Hui put the money in front of Chen Huihong.

Dasha Village is a small fishing village with a whole beach.

More than ten years later, with the development of tourism, all the places near the sea were built into small villas with sea view rooms as inns and hotels.

But now, that piece of wasteland costs only a few cents per square meter.

"You're crazy. Why would I buy that wasteland? To herd sheep?"

Chen Huihong rolled her eyes at him and pushed the money back to Chen Hui.

"Well, I'll take the money. I still want to buy that piece of land."

"But the land in Dasha Village is not sold to people from other villages. I asked my uncle to help me buy the land and put it in your name first."

Even if I force five hundred yuan on Chen Huihong, she will either save it and let it depreciate or spend it as five hundred yuan.

If she were asked to use the money to buy wasteland, Chen Huihong would think it would be better to throw it into the sea.

At least you can hear a sound if you throw it into the sea.

It is very difficult to reverse the brainwashing education that I have to support my younger brother in since he was a child.

Chen Hui thought it through quickly and decided to help Chen Huihong buy the land first.

Speaking of buying land, Chen Hui started to think again.

If we buy the land in Dasha Village, we can also buy the land in Chenjia Village.

In the past, the tourism of Dasa Village was developed, which also boosted Chenjia Village.

Although due to limited conditions, the tourism development of Chenjia Village is far less than that of Dasa Village, but the land price is not inferior at all.

"Anyway, this money is for you."

"Whether you want to get married or buy some wasteland, it's up to you." Chen Huihong's face showed anticipation.

Chen Hui was a little confused, but soon he figured it out.

Chen Huihong probably thought that she wanted to live in Dasa Village in the future.

Buy the land first, and then build the house when you have saved enough money.

"Thank you, aunt!"

"Don't save money for me anymore. Use the money to improve your quality of life. My uncle has to go out in the wind and rain every day, so he needs to eat well to survive."

"I can plan my own days."

If I didn't explain it to her a little more, Chen Huihong would definitely start thinking about saving some money to build a house for herself.

"Oh, you are so sensible now? If your uncle heard this, he would laugh his mouth off."

Wu Shuisheng's mouth is fine.

Chen Huihong's mouth, on the other hand, was almost splitting with laughter.

Chen Hui is now so sensible and motivated. An Wenjing, who already looks comfortable, likes him even more. She happily took out a lot of things from the cloth bag, "Look, I have prepared all this for you."

"what is this?"

Chen Hui took it and looked at it.

A big red bellyband and two big red towels underneath.

The red bellyband and red towel were sewn together.

Fixed on the bellyband with needle and thread were a pair of bright red insoles embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern, a pair of bright red socks, and two embroidered red brocade bags, which were filled with unknown things.

It feels like rice or sunflower seeds.

Chen Hui wanted to open the brocade bag out of curiosity, but was stopped by Chen Huihong.

"Hey, hey, hey, this can't be opened."

"These are all seeds from our Chen family." Chen Huihong said happily.

"Ah?!" Chen Hui was confused.

"I know you young people don't understand this! Anyway, on the wedding day, put this in the bride's dowry clothes."

"Wen Jing has no dowry clothes."

"Then buy it for her."

"Oh, okay!"

Now I have one more reason to buy new clothes for my wife, so happy!
"Put this in the bride's dowry and bring it with the bride."

"Then, you have to find a lucky handsome guy or girl, who has never been married, and ask them to help you take it out and put it under the wedding quilt. Do you understand?"

Chen Hui nodded.

There is a handsome guy who is lucky enough to be unmarried right now.

Huang Miao, who did not need to marry Wu Guihua and successfully became her apprentice, definitely counts as one of them.

"By the way, what are you going to do with the wedding wine?"

"I'm not going to do it."

Chen Huihong gave him a reproachful look.

Thinking about the fact that my brother, sister-in-law, and An Wenjing's father are all gone, the scene would indeed be a bit lacking if the real ceremony were to take place.

He took a sip of tea and said, "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. When the time comes, invite the matchmaker's family, your uncle and I, and you and Wen Jing can invite a few friends. It will be a bit lively."

"Can you please stop calling me uncle?"

When Chen Hui thought of Chen Xiangdong, he felt a little resistant.

"That's why you don't know better. No matter how bad your uncle is, he is still your uncle."

"Okay, okay, I get it, call him!"

Chen Hui immediately gave up resistance.

In this era, in this small mountain village where human relationships are the norm.

Even if relatives have already torn their faces apart and thrown each other on the ground and rubbed each other dozens of times, they will still not interact with each other in normal times.

When it comes to weddings or funerals, one still has to deal with the occasion.

It is very easy for young people in later generations to break off a relationship, but at that time it was considered treason and a sign of inhumanity.

It may even directly affect a person’s foothold in the village.

"I also know that you don't like Adong. Go call him when it's time to eat, and I'll take him away after dinner."

Chen Huihong was not only considerate, but also mainly afraid that Chen Hui and Chen Xiangdong would fight.

It's not like this has never happened before.

Without the wedding banquet, many of Chen Huihong’s preparations would be useless.

A bit disappointed.

Seeing that Chen Hui and An Wenjing were happy and had no objections, she also became happy.

They went to Lin Jiao's house to have lunch together, and then returned to Dasa Village with the unused things.

"Wife, come here for a moment."

After seeing Chen Huihong off, Chen Hui grabbed An Wenjing, who was washing dishes, and pulled her into the room.

"What's going on? Why are you so mysterious?"

An Wenjing wiped her hands on her old apron and saw Chen Hui close the door. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
