Chapter 018: Blocking the Door

The next day, Qin Mutong took a handkerchief and went to Zheng's house to see Zheng Qiuli.

Zheng Qiuli was very happy to see her coming, and grabbed two handfuls of fried peanuts that she had kept at home for hospitality.

Qin Mutong couldn't refuse her kindness, so he peeled it slowly, and it took a while to peel off a peanut.

"I heard that you're getting married, and I don't have anything to give you, so I'll give you this. Qin Mutong gave the handkerchief to Zheng Qiuli.

It was a plain white handkerchief with magpie climbing branches embroidered on it. If you look at the embroiderers, you can know that this handkerchief was not embroidered by anyone, but bought in the township supply and marketing cooperative, and it is not very valuable.

It's just that young people nowadays don't like to wear those things they make themselves, so they like to buy them. So as soon as Zheng Qiuli saw this veil, she immediately took it happily, and happily took it and flipped it several times: "Thank you! When you get married in the future, I will also give you good things!"

This handkerchief is very cheap, only a few cents, and Qin Mutong has several new ones in his wardrobe that are useless. But for Zheng Qiuli, who doesn't have a penny of private money, this handkerchief is something she dreams of.

Qin Mutong suddenly understood why Zheng Qiuli was not at all rejecting the upcoming married life.

Perhaps, in her opinion, marriage is the beginning of a good life.

Qin Mutong didn't stay at the Zheng family for long, and soon went home.

On the day Zheng Qiuli got married, most of the people in the village went, including Qin Mutong.

Here in Xinmin Village, whether you are marrying a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law, you have to hold a banquet. Even if the family is poor and can't afford much money, then what should be done has to be done, at most, it is just a little bit of a banquet.

Mrs. Qin took Qin Mutong to a banquet and gave a gift of one dollar.

Don't underestimate this dollar, it's a lot.

Now most of this gift money is only a few cents, but this is also related to the distance between relatives.

Mrs. Qin and Qin Mutong were arranged on a table in the corner, and in addition to the two of them, there were two families at this table, both of whom were brought by their mothers and several children.

As for the male guests, they were arranged on the other side.

When there are children on the table, it is basically not clean.

And nowadays, children are not living well, and it is rare to be able to eat something good with oil and water. So every time they eat a feast, the children are very excited, grabbing vegetables is like a war, for fear that they will not be able to eat what they want to eat if they have a slow hand.

The children's mothers didn't care about etiquette at this time, and they were also quickly picking up vegetables. It's just that they are not clipping it to themselves, but to the gobbling children.

Of course, this kind of scene is not very good-looking, and if it was Qin Mutong in the past, she would not want to share the table with these dirty-looking children at all.

But now, Qin Mutong knows that if the family is okay, if they usually eat well, why are these children like this?

Qin Mutong silently pushed the dishes on the table to the place where the children were sitting.

In fact, the Zheng family's table today is really not good, most of them are vegetables, no need to ask to know that this is the Zheng family's own planting, when you want to eat, pick it in the ground, or take out the storage at home in the morning and use it.

At a glance, the Zheng family also set up dozens of tables of noodles, and in addition to vegetarian dishes, each table only has a bowl of steamed pork and a pot of fish soup.

Steamed meat is steamed bacon with pickles, and the fish in the fish soup is fished out of the river where Qin Mutong washed his clothes and fell into the water, and the cost is not high.

It is also thanks to Zheng Qiuli and her father that they have the ability to catch fish with one hand, and in addition to the Chinese New Year, almost every family has made bacon. Otherwise, it would not be easy to make such two meat dishes at this table.

The children on the table, that is, grabbing bacon and fish are the most happy.

Qin Mutong only sandwiched some vegetables to eat, and he didn't touch these two meat dishes.

Mrs. Qin knew that her granddaughter was kind, and she also knew that her granddaughter still had some love for cleanliness, and she didn't say anything.

Anyway, there are meat dishes at home, and the granddaughter is nothing if she misses this meal.

The big guy was eating, and the groom came to pick him up.

The bridegroom is only eighteen, and he is a very young and energetic young man. However, he is not tall, only 1.65 meters, and he is pitch black, like a black charcoal head.

In the face of the jokes of the bride's relatives, the groom was very shy, smiling and not knowing what to say, almost all of the groom's uncles and aunts were coping.

It can be seen that the groom is also looking forward to the upcoming married life.

Feeling the festive atmosphere around him, Qin Mutong couldn't help but laugh.

After Zheng Qiuli gets married, she should be able to live well, right?

She was distracted, when she saw Xiong Xiaofen blocking the gate of Zheng Qiuli's house, and shouted loudly: "Qiu Li is the most capable one among the girls of our Zheng family!

Zheng Qiuli's father, Zheng Youde, and Zheng Hongxing are cousins, and Xiong Xiaofen is naturally the Zheng family. She is speaking on behalf of Zheng Qiuli's mother's family at this time, and it is really difficult for others to say anything.

And her words were not wrong, which also shows the importance of both parties to the bride, implying that the bride can live well after getting married.

The groom's family was obviously prepared for this, and the groom's aunt immediately took out a red envelope and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Our family is really rare Qiu Li, as long as Qiu Li marries, we will definitely treat her as a daughter!"

Xiong Xiaofen snatched the red envelope, but she didn't withdraw when she was supposed to let the door, but directly opened the red envelope in front of everyone, revealing the two cents inside, and her face sank suddenly.

"The two-cent red envelope, you can take it out of the debt!" Xiong Xiaofen threw the two cents on the groom's aunt's face with her backhand, and said with a dark face, "No matter how poor our Zheng family is, we are not poor enough to do this! If you are not sincere today, then don't think about taking our Qiuli away!"

The faces of the bridegroom's greeters also changed.

The bride's house blocked the door to embarrass the groom, which was originally a custom. But these days, everyone's life is not easy, so this door is making a fuss, and the picture is a festive one, and few people really care about how much money is wrapped in red.

Besides, this is actually more common to receive people directly without taking red envelopes.

The groom's family actually prepared dozens of red envelopes early in the morning, and each red envelope was filled with two cents, which was ready to deal with the mother's family who blocked the door. I never thought that the Zheng family was quite reasonable, no one blocked the door at all, only Xiong Xiaofen was out!

What everyone didn't expect was that Xiong Xiaofen also opened the red envelope, disgusted that the red envelope given by the groom's family was too small, and directly fell into the face of the groom's family!
