339. On marriage
This meal was eaten from noon to good afternoon, Father Shi had nothing to say, but Qiu Niang had a lot of words, shut up and didn't talk about business, for fear that talking too much would make Shi unhappy, so he served him a bowl of soup: "You try salty." ”
The stone gave him whatever he wanted, but he didn't stretch out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, his shoulders fell up again, he picked up the bowl and drank the soup, and only when he drank it was finished did he say, "It's just right." "Qiu Niang is originally a good craft, and no one praises going to the village to help burn the stove.
After saying this, it was cold again, the husband and wife had been separated for four or five years, and there was really nothing to say for a while, Qiu Niang wanted to ask if the stone running boat was bitter, and the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, which person is not bitter.
I had to talk about my children: "I was in a hurry to move, and I didn't clean up carefully, I was wronged by Osmanthus, she didn't even have a decent set of furniture in her house, and then I played slowly when I was free, and I had to have a set of furniture for marriage." ”
Qiu Niang only knew what the daughter of a rich and noble family was after looking at Ye Wenxin, and the things in the garden were already something she didn't dare to think about, how did she know that when she arrived in Suizhou, she looked at the ones that Ye left to Ye Wenxin, and she knew what a girl who grew up with thousands of pets.
A box of unopened good things, the house is simply furnished, but just the carvings on the housekeeper have opened their eyes, Qiu Niang just thought about saving things for her daughter quickly, and slowly set it up.
Ye Wenxin didn't dare to think about it, but the daughter of Liu's big family in the village got married, and the tables, beds and stools were always in order, such a set was not difficult to do, pick a practical wood, grind it brighter, and then put on two coats of lacquer, and the utensils next to it were more beautiful, these daughters had their own accounts in their hearts, knowing that she was not picky about these, but she couldn't be too simple.
It was only at this point that the stone spoke: "The man has come and sent something, which is good." Mingyue looked like the kind of person that Shi didn't like, and he could reveal a shrewd look from his eyes, he thought about taking a look at Shi Gui again, his daughter was also shrewd, marrying him, she wouldn't suffer, and she had a younger brother who could support her.
While thinking about it, I looked at Qiu Niang, not like Qiu Niang, I didn't have a good life when I married him, she was used to it, and she lived like this for the rest of her life, who knew that she couldn't finish it.
Xizi lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her head, and when she talked about the bright moon, she raised her head and saw Shi Gui with a smile on her face, stretching out her hand to touch the carved swimming fish on the silver lock, and couldn't help but laugh too.
Qiu Niang smiled: "It's just that I saw that he treated osmanthus well and knew that it hurt people, so I nodded." "The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, Mingyue can't pick out anything bad, although people are still jumping out, that's also because of her youth, her daughter is too old since she was a child, and it's just right to be so lively.
I already thought that I would become a parent two years later, maybe I would have a child immediately, at that time Xizi was still young, not yet old enough to start a family, Mingyue was a soldier and couldn't come back every day, she just helped to help from birth to raising, watching her grandchildren grow up.
Shi Gui didn't know that Qiu Niang had already thought about enjoying her old age in her heart, and when she heard the two of them talking about marriage, she was really a little blushing, Qiu Niang was happy in her heart, and her mouth kept talking: "The golden hairpin always has to be beaten, plus a set of gold earrings, it turns out that there are bracelets saved, silver jewelry is always not less, eight quilts, two sets of bed tents and pillows for four seasons, and bucket basin racks for children and grandchildren." ”
The blessed woman's family in the village has a set of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren when she gets married, and she can embroider one hundred and eight fat babies who are not the same to marry out, and she will be blessed when she arrives at her mother-in-law's house.
When Qiu Niang got married, everything was thin, and there were few pieces of jewelry, but her mother had to get her a top account, and the family really couldn't afford it, and all the money was used to marry her brother's daughter-in-law, or borrowed her sister-in-law's, and her mother couldn't get over this hurdle until she died, and felt that her daughter had no children, just to use the old account.
The more Qiu Niang said, the more she felt that she couldn't catch up, these many things had to be prepared, and nothing else, the tent and wedding dress had to be made by yourself, as well as the pillowcase of the mandarin duck, and then pay more attention to it, and there must be a bedspread quilt, they didn't know anyone in the local area, so they asked a Quanfu person, entrusted a heavy gift, made two pairs of small shoes, and asked for a good mouth color with children and daughters.
I can't wait to buy red silk immediately, thinking that Mingyue doesn't even have an elder there, let alone do it for him, it's better to do it together, marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law are all in the same door, although the eyebrows are anxious, but there is a smile on his face, Shi Dad looked at her, and unconsciously, they have all reached the age of marrying their daughter.
It was only at this moment that a smile appeared on the stone's face: "It's to make furniture, if you live here for a long time, it's better to use bamboo, add more things next to it, and she will use it in the future." ”
When Qiu Niang got married, she brought two pieces of cloth, one was given to Mrs. Yu to make clothes, and the other was kept forever, and then she didn't have the time to make it for herself, and when the family couldn't open the pot, she took it out and changed it for money.
Qiu Niang had already forgotten the cloth, but Shi Shi always remembered, knowing that she thought so carefully, for the sake of her own family, all for her daughter, and said: "I also have half of the osmanthus dowry." ”
Qiu Niang smiled, if it was in the past, she would have nodded, but this time she said: "Heluo is not busy with you, you inquire where there are Quanfu people." "It's a well-rounded Quanfu person, only in front of her in-laws, fathers and mothers are in the hall, and there are children and daughters, then it is a blessing, but Qiu Niang wants to pick a good life.
The stone should come down: "Hey." This mouthful, his face is more lively, he wants to give his daughter Zhang Luo's dowry, and he may be able to hold his grandson in two years, so he thinks that the wrinkles on his face are stretched, and he talks more about wine, and he talks about living in a compound now.
In such a yard, Qiu Niang Green Calyx lived, Shi Gui heard him say half and stopped, and breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that he would say it on a whim, and tell Mrs. Yu too, the family is just better, and when she is mentioned, she can't eat this meal.
Shi really didn't mention it again, the conversation box was opened, and it was not embarrassing to talk slowly, Xizi also had a smile on her face, and she was relieved to reach out to take the sesame candy to eat, Shi Gui was not ashamed, first I was afraid that Qiu Niang would always be a little embarrassed to sing a one-man show alone, but she didn't mean that she was so interested in getting married, Shi Gui was most willing to do something that Qiu Niang could cheer up, and she would listen to her more if she was willing to say it.
"I also feel that the bamboo is good, elegant and cool, and not afraid of the tide, I have never been afraid of heat, when I was in Jinling, I wanted to sleep on the bamboo bed. Saying that, he smiled at Shi Dad: "When the time comes, let my father tie me a cool bed, and I will sleep in the yard in the summer." ”
Qiu Niang was anxious when she heard this: "You girl, when you are still four or five years old, how dare you marry you like this." While being anxious and smiling, the family actually finished the meal happily.
When it was time to leave, Shi Gui wrapped two or more big steamed buns in a cloth, and wrapped the rest of the cold dishes, as well as the shoes he made.
Shi Gui stared at the door for a long time, and when he went back, he saw Xizi shaking his head, clicking on the door of Qiu Niang's house, and whispered to Shi Gui: "Mother is crying." ”
Shi Gui didn't go to lift the curtain, he cleaned up the dishes on the table, half of the chicken was eaten, there was still a small half of the duck, and there was a lot of soup.
Collected the table and washed the dishes, and then swept the front and back of the house, sweating profusely, looking up from under the high eaves to see the sky outside, the halo of the sun scorched people's eyes, Shi Gui carried a broom in one hand, listened to the sound of cicadas, and sprinkled well water on the ground.
After pouring the ground, Qiu Niang was still in the room and didn't come out, Shi Gui simply opened Mingyue's room, the room hadn't been cleaned up for a while, except for a bed, there was not even a tent, there were many mosquitoes in Suizhou, Shi Gui picked up a white gauze tent from his own box and came out, shook it off and tied it to the bed frame for him.
The mattress quilt is also used by her, a bed of blue cloth quilt, which is newly made in Suizhou, washed and dried, and there is a warm smell when the box is opened.
I have to add another table, there must be a set of tea sets in the house, and I don't know what else to use for Ordinary Mingyue, a cabinet for clothes, a basin and towel rack, he is still reading the military book, and he has to prepare the four treasures of the upper room.
The side is not in a hurry, Shi Gui first took a bamboo cup, and inserted two flowers in it, purple and red, born like a small hydrangea, clusters of bright flowers, I don't know what the name is, in the back of the house in a piece, when the house was cleared, the flower was deliberately not cleared.
I have to cut some towels, Mingyue can't use a bath bucket with them, I heard Xizi say that he only has two replacement clothes, and he calculates that he can't come back from work this month, and when he comes back, the sea map is also good, and the clothes in the cabinet are also cut, everything is cleaned up, so that he can live in a clean and comfortable house when he comes back.
Qiu Niang's heart is uncomfortable, twenty years of love, can't be broken, just now, my heart is always uncomfortable, I heard the sound of sweeping the courtyard outside, it took a long time to collect tears and come out, knowing that Xizi went to buy noodles, pulled Shi Gui to sit down: "Let's go buy silk tomorrow, I know that the beads here are cheaper, and my mother will make a pearl crown for you seriously." ”
Shi Gui showed some shame at this time, but compared to gold and silver, pearls are cheaper, Suizhou because of the Westerners to the ship, all kinds of gems are cheap, Mrs. Ji's big beads are just ordinary things, she didn't think about what to do when doing a happy event, listening to Qiu Niang's rise, she actually looked forward to it, so she didn't make a bead crown, and the pearl hairpin was also good.
The mother and daughter were talking, and Xizi came back sweaty, carrying noodles in her hands, and holding a melon in her hands, and hurriedly rushed to Shi Gui: "I just went to call Sister Green Calyx's house, and when I got to the door, I heard someone making trouble." ”
In order to avoid going out, Lu Calyx also went to Ye Wenxin's place, Shi Gui was afraid that Yu Pozi was going to make trouble again, but he didn't look like Xizi, he hurriedly gestured twice: "It looks like a peasant in the countryside, all of them are holding flat poles, and they almost fight." ”
