Chen Xiaolin planned to spend her own money to buy Yu Youyin a watch and make him new clothes.

Yu Youyin privately gave all his savings to Chen Xiaolin, and even handed over his 120-year-old wild ginseng tree.

As for the 1980s wild ginseng that was used as a betrothal gift, Yu Youyin prepared it for Grandpa Chen.

Chen Xiaolin was shocked when she saw the numbers on Yu Youyin's passbook. She originally thought that he only had 10,000 yuan at most. Who knew that the passbook he gave her contained a full 200,000 yuan, plus that Yu Youyin gave her nearly 220,000 yuan for a bag of cash.

I don't know where he got all the money from. It seems like I should have a good chat with him when I have time.

The time soon came for the wedding day. Since both Chen Xiaolin and Yu Youyin were afraid of trouble, their wedding was not a big event. They just had a meal with their close friends.

There are only two tables at Chen Xiaolin's house, and only five tables at Yu Youyin's house.

Because the wedding was too simple, Yu Youjin was also a little dissatisfied with Youyin.

But today is also his wedding day, so he can only endure it.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Yu Youyin rode a borrowed bicycle to Daqingshan Village to pick up Chen Xiaolin.

We had a wedding banquet at Yu Youyin's house at noon, and after meeting his relatives, we were ready to return to Daqingshan Village.

The wedding banquet of Chen Xiaolin's family started in the evening. She was not short of meat or food, so she didn't bother with it. She just prepared a chicken, a pound of braised pork, and half a rabbit for each table.

After swearing an oath in front of Chairman Mao's portrait, Chen Xiaolin and Yu Youyin officially became husband and wife.

Chen Xiaolin accompanied Yu Youyin to toast and went back to the room to rest, leaving Yu Youyin to continue drinking with Uncle Chen and the others.

Married for the first time in her two lives, Chen Xiaolin is actually not as calm as she appears.

I don't know how long I waited, but it was already dark when Yu Youyin returned to the room, and candles were already lit in the room.

Yu Youyin drank a little too much today and was staggering when he walked. It was Chen Mu who helped him back.

Chen Xiaolin was afraid that he would have a headache when he woke up tomorrow, so she made a cup of honey water and gave it to him to relieve his hangover.

After drinking the honey water and resting for a while, Yu Youyin felt much more awake, and his head was no longer as heavy as before. He turned over and hugged Chen Xiaolin, starting to feel a little dishonest.

"Daughter-in-law, we finally got married today. I am really happy. I will definitely treat you well in the future and work hard to let you live a life without worries about food and clothing."

"I believe in you, let's work hard together." Chen Xiaolin was hugged tightly by Yu Youyin. She couldn't push him away even if she wanted to, so she was too shy to look into his eyes.

"After you get married, you don't have to work anymore. I'm at home."

"I only cut two baskets of pigweed every day and it's not very tiring. Staying at home all day is boring."

"Then just do your best and rest when you feel tired."

"Well, by the way, why is there so much money in the passbook you gave me?" Chen Xiaolin had long wanted to ask Yu Youyin about the origin of that huge passbook, but she had never been able to find the chance.

"That was given to me by my master. The situation is still unclear now. We will take it out when it is not so strict in the future. My master also left me two boxes of large yellow croakers and some jewelry. When we have time in the future, we will Then dig it up and hide it at home."

"Who is your master? Why do you have so much money?" Chen Xiaolin originally thought she was quite rich, but she didn't expect that one bankbook would cost more than her own possessions.

"Actually, I'm not very sure. Let's not talk about her. Wife, we should go to bed. Today is our wedding night. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!" Yu Youyin directly kissed the person he thought about day and night. Her lips blocked what she wanted to say next.

"Oh, please be gentle..."

"Daughter-in-law, you are so beautiful..."

"Be gentle, it hurts..."

The night was beautiful and sultry, and everyone in the village slowly fell asleep. Only the sounds in Chen Xiaolin's new house were intermittent, and they slowly became quiet until the early morning.

The next day, Chen Xiaolin didn't wake up until the afternoon. She felt as if her whole body had been run over by a car, and it hurt even when she moved.

The skin on her body was also bruised and purple, which Yu Youyin really hated. How could she go out to meet people?

"Daughter-in-law, you're awake. The food is still warm in the pot. I'll get it for you right away." Yu Youyin heard the movement in the room and quickly put down what he was doing and returned to the room.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Fortunately, she and Yu Youyin were the only two people at home, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

"Why are you up so early? You worked hard last night and you need to have a good rest. Go wash up quickly and I'll go to the kitchen to bring out the food."

Yu Youyin asked Grandma Chen to take back the leftover food from last night's banquet. He knew that Chen Xiaolin was picky and didn't like to eat leftovers.

Today at noon, he only made a piece of ground three delicacies, a scrambled egg with leeks, and a pot of pumpkin porridge.

After Chen Xiaolin finished washing, Yu Youyin had already packed the porridge for her and let it cool.

"Brother Youyin, your service attitude is really good. Keep up the good work!" Chen Xiaolin took a sip of pumpkin porridge and suddenly discovered that Yu Youyin's craftsmanship was really good. She could make this simple pumpkin porridge so delicious.

"As long as you like to eat, you can wait until I come back to cook the food in the future." Yu Youyin saw that his wife liked the food she cooked so much, which made him more interested in cooking.

Chen Xiaolin had eaten last night, and now she was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. She finished three bowls of porridge in one go, and also finished the local three delicacies and scrambled eggs with leeks.

After lunch, Yu Youyin asked Chen Xiaolin to go back to the room to continue resting. He picked up the ax and continued to chop wood.

Yesterday, Chen Xiaolin used up all the firewood he had chopped for the wedding. He wanted to chop more firewood and keep it for later use.

Chen Xiaolin lay on the bed for a while and felt a little bored. She couldn't sleep anyway, so she simply took out all the gift money from yesterday and counted it.

Yesterday, Grandma Chen gave her a hundred yuan, which was the bottom of the box. Aunt Chen also gave her a hundred yuan. Even Chen Mu secretly stuffed twenty yuan into her hand.

In addition to the gifts from relatives and friends, Chen Xiaolin received 242 yuan and 50 cents yesterday.

Chen Xiaolin now knows the rich woman. Including the money Yu Youyin gave her, she has a total of two hundred and seventy-two thousand five hundred and forty-six yuan.

She suddenly didn't want to struggle anymore. She just wanted to wait until the reform and opening up, buy more land when the time came, and then wait for demolition or build a house for rent.

But after thinking about it for a while, Chen Xiaolin didn't want to just be a rice bug. People still need to have dreams in life.

Forget it, let's just study hard. There are so many medical books waiting for her to memorize in this space. As for laying them out, that's not suitable for her.

Chen Xiaolin took a medical book from the space and sat at the door to read it. She was fascinated by it.
