Chapter 84: Urging Marriage Again
Chapter 84: Urging Marriage Again
Lin Han lay on the bed, looking out the window with his eyes open, and only got up and washed after he woke up.
Lin Han eats breakfast very casually, usually just eating anything.
After getting up, he didn't want to do anything fancy, so he just cooked himself a bowl of noodles.
After breakfast, Lin Han had nothing to do. Although he planned to make pastries today, he didn't want to do it in the morning.
Thinking that I will be living in Xinghua Village for a long time in the future, and I haven’t visited this village yet, I will take advantage of the time today to visit Xinghua Village.
Lin Han closed the door and went on a spontaneous one-day trip to the village with empty hands.
He came out of his house and took only a few steps when he met Zhang Yingda who was going to his house to work. He stood there and exchanged a few words with him before continuing on his journey.
It must be said that the scenery of Xinghua Village is really beautiful. Lin Han imagined what it would be like if he grew old in modern times.
The place you choose to retire should be a village like Xinghua Village with beautiful environment, fresh air and harmonious neighborhood relations.
After all, modern rural areas have long been connected by roads, transportation is very convenient, and there are supermarkets and express delivery stations in the village.
Lin Han strolled leisurely like this and met many familiar and unfamiliar faces along the way.
They are familiar because the original owner has these faces in his memory and has communicated with them.
The reason for the unfamiliarity was that Lin Han had never spoken to these faces before, and some of them were even seen for the first time since he came here.
Lin Han greeted them one by one. They were all busy working in the fields. They said a few words to Lin Han and left.
Lin Han continued walking, and as he walked, he saw the person he least wanted to see, or the person he was most afraid of seeing at the moment.
If there was one person in this village that Lin Han was most afraid of seeing, it would be Aunt Liu.
Lin Han was just about to pretend to be casual and turn around to walk in another direction when he heard Aunt Liu calling him.
Aunt Liu: "Lin Han, where are you going?"
This voice was like a devilish sound lingering in the air. Unfortunately, Lin Han couldn't hide yet, so he could only bite the bullet and reply: "Nowhere, auntie, I was just strolling around."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu's eyes lit up when she heard him say this. "Just strolling around, that's perfect. I have something to tell you."
Lin Han frowned: It’s coming, I can’t avoid it.
Lin Han had a smile on his face, but in his heart, ten thousand horses were galloping across the grassland. "Aunt, if you have anything to say, please feel free to say it."
If we were to ask who in Xinghua Village is most keen on urging people to get married, that person would definitely be Aunt Liu.
First of all, her profession is a matchmaker, and secondly, she is really gossipy and likes to urge people to get married.
Aunt Liu cleared her throat and said, "Lin Han, you are not young anymore. How many people of your age in the village are still married?
Isn't it time for you to think about your own lifelong affairs?"
Lin Han: Oh my God, is this the difference between ancient times and modern times? Normally, people of my age would still be in college in modern times.
In the eyes of many people, those who go to school are children, but they didn’t expect that in ancient times they were already considered adults.
Lin Han still used the same rhetoric as before: "Aunt, I have nothing now, and my foundation is still shallow.
In Xinghua Village, I have no family background or parents to support me. Who would be willing to marry me? I'd better wait until I have made some achievements before discussing marriage."
Aunt Liu was not surprised by what Lin Han said. After all, she had been a matchmaker for so many years and had seen all kinds of people and said all kinds of things.
Aunt Liu retorted to Lin Han: "Hey~Lin Han, don't underestimate yourself. Although you have no parents or clan, this is not your fault. You can only blame it on natural disasters.
But there is one thing you have to be clear about: based on your personal abilities alone, you stand out among the younger generation in Xinghua Village.
Don't underestimate yourself. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there are many people who like your style."
Lin Han: Oh, be low-key, of course I know I am very good.
Lin Han: "Aunt, I don't want to get married yet. I want to wait until the house is built before making plans."
Aunt Liu was skeptical: "Really?"
Lin Han: “Really.”
Lin Han thought: No matter whether it is true or not, I will just fool him first.
But unexpectedly, Aunt Liu became even happier. Lin Han didn't even know what she was so happy about every day.
Aunt Liu: "That's great! Since you want to wait until the house is built before making any plans, why not start looking for one now?
By the time your house is finished, people might have already fallen in love with you. Wouldn't that be double the joy, don't you think?"
Lin Han was really speechless now: Oh my God, someone please take her away. I have refused so many times, why is she still asking?
No matter what, I'll just use this last trick.
Lin Han smiled helplessly: "Uh, well, Auntie, my parents just passed away four months ago. I want to observe mourning for them and not consider getting married for the time being."
Lin Han: Sorry for using your name again. I will definitely burn more paper for you in the future.
This word woke Aunt Liu up from her dream. Aunt Liu said: Yes, Lin Han is still in mourning.
I actually helped him arrange a blind date. I really shouldn't have done that.
It’s my fault that Lin Han is not from Xinghua Village. I forgot for a moment that he was in mourning.
Lin Han’s parents, I didn’t mean it, please don’t blame me.
In ancient times, when parents passed away, the younger generation usually had to observe mourning for three years.
But with the development of society, during the Daqian Dynasty, the founding emperor issued a decree:
"The mourning period for grandparents, great-grandparents, brothers and sisters, children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces, and uncles and aunts is fifty days."1
"One should mourn for six months in mourning for one's parents."
Aunt Liu said ashamedly, "I'm so sorry, Lin, I forgot you were still in mourning."
Lin Han said sympathetically: "It's okay, auntie, it's not your fault. You are doing this for my own good."
Aunt Liu was moved to see Lin Han was so considerate and said: "Good boy, it's good that you think this way.
Well, I won’t bother you with this matter anymore. You still want to go shopping, so go ahead. I’ll go back first.”
Hearing this, Lin Han was delighted and put on a serious face: "Okay, take care, Auntie."
Aunt Liu saw that there was nothing wrong with Lin Han, so she left with peace of mind.
After Aunt Liu left, Lin Han continued his stroll. After what happened to Aunt Liu, Lin even deliberately walked towards a secluded path.
As he walked, he unknowingly arrived at the foot of Shengshan Mountain.
Thinking that it was here that he confirmed his feelings for Hua Jian, Lin Han showed a sweet smile on his face.
He walked to the place where Huajian usually looked at the scenery and sat down. He imagined Huajian sitting there and began to look at the scenery as well.
Looking down from here, you can see the entire Xinghua Village.
Whether it is the green fields in the distance or the houses close to each other, you can see them all.
Things that are near seem big, and things that are far seem small. In Lin Han's eyes, the people in the fields are like ants, working hard.
Although they are working hard, their hearts are full of infinite hope.
