The wedding date is less than half a month away, and Jinxiu has to hurry up with the dowry.

The things that should be bought are almost bought, because Jinxiu still has to live at home after getting married, and the two sides are far away, so the dowry is basically left at home, and there is no need to move to X City.

Originally, according to the customs of S Province, when a girl gets married, her mother's family has to prepare furniture, but the two families are so far away, so the furniture and other things are prepared by the Gu family. Splendid here only needs to prepare some light things when the time comes.

As for light things, it refers to all kinds of pillows, bed curtains, and other things embroidered by brides and novices.

Nowadays, the dowry of the girl's family, in addition to the ones bought, the most important thing is these things that need to be made by the bride herself.

Nowadays, girls are basically able to needlework, not to mention how good the embroidery is, but there is no problem with simple patterns. The more beautiful the dowry embroidered by the girls themselves, the more face they have when they get married, and the more their in-laws like it. After all, this shows that his family has married a clever daughter-in-law, which is a face-saving thing.

This is particularly important in rural areas.

Although the city doesn't pay much attention to this, after all, the girl's family has a job that can be done is the most decent. But this is always the characteristic of the times, and with a pair of skillful hands, that is the icing on the cake.

The marriage in the last life of Jinxiu was not allowed to be married at all, it was just a transaction, and she was just a victim in that transaction. At that time, the Zhang family married her in a hurry, and she had no time, no mood, and no money to prepare any dowry for herself.

In this life, Jinxiu cares about these very much, so she started preparing the things to be used in the dowry very early. She hopes that her wedding will make her remember it for a lifetime.

The things that needed to be made by her own hands, she had prepared them long after the engagement, and whenever she was free at night, she would go into the space to embroider, and now they were all ready. She prepared ninety-nine pairs of pillows alone, which means longevity.

These pillows are not all for her own use, most of them are meant to be given to guests after the wedding.

The people who can get the pillow are close relatives and friends. This part of the pillowcase does not need too fine embroidery, and now the supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores can buy machine-embroidered finished pillowcases.

Jinxiu himself didn't have so much time to embroider in person, so like people nowadays, he went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a batch back, and picked the best quality and the best patterns.

The pillowcases she used were all embroidered by Jinxiu herself, and ten pairs of red satin pillows were embroidered by her with ten different patterns. Mandarin ducks play in the water, and Tilian, flowers are full moon...... Each one is exquisitely embroidered.

In addition, Jinxiu also embroidered a quilt cover.

This bed quilt has been embroidered for nearly two months, and a large picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water with a width of one meter and five width and two meters long is exactly a set together with the pair of pillowcases embroidered with mandarin ducks, which is used on the wedding day.

In addition, Jinxiu also embroidered her wedding dress herself. In this day and age, girls who can make wedding dresses by themselves are rare, let alone embroidered wedding dresses.

The wedding dress that Jinxiu designed for herself is still a cheongsam, but this cheongsam is very different from the improved cheongsam when she was engaged.

This short-sleeved cheongsam has no slit, but a fishtail design at the knees. From the collar to the chest, the cheongsam is made of red gauze, and the bottom is spliced with red satin. The red satin embroidered with the golden phoenix and all kinds of flowers, the embroidery at the skirt is even more delicate and complex, in order to make the effect more amazing, Jinxiu also asked Wang Tingting to get her some gold thread to decorate, the sun shines over, sparkling.

When Jinxiu tried it on, Wang Tingting was amazed, and she muttered that she was getting married because the high-end customized handmade wedding dress was lined with a price.

This wedding dress, Jinxiu herself is also very satisfied, and she still takes it out every day to decorate the details, and strives to do it without a trace of flaws.

I also prepared a few pieces of bed curtain brocade, two pieces of woolen hooks, two pieces of embroidery, and two pieces of embroidery, and I bought two pieces. But now it seems to be fully used. Because their marriage beds are also made of Western style, there is no place for bed curtains at all.

There are also insoles. The insoles were embroidered by themselves, and Aunt Fang Zhang Zhaodi embroidered. Embroidering insoles is a hard work, and the hands of Jinxiu have to be used to embroider wedding dresses and pillowcase sheets.

The insoles are also very particular, with a new coarse white cloth layer by layer brushed paste glued together, not to mention that it has to be pasted three layers, and then the surface is covered with a fine white cloth with yarn, and after drying, you can start embroidering. The insoles that come out of this way are sturdy and durable, and a pair of insoles can be worn for several years.

If a country girl gets married, she has to give the groom a pair of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles. That's another job that requires a lot of effort.

Just these manual jobs kept Jinxiu busy for more than half a year. If she didn't have the space, or even if she was given another half a year, she wouldn't be able to do it.

For other things, Zhang Zhaodi had almost prepared before.

What kind of boiling water bottles, coat hangers and other things, Zhang Zhaodi prepared them early in the morning, piled them up in the empty room at home, and waited for Jinxiu to get married.

If Gu Nianhua's home is in City A, these things will be moved to the Gu family on the wedding day. But Gu's family is so far away, and Jinxiu doesn't live there after marriage, so these things don't have to be moved.

But the Gu family still has to prepare, and when you can't get married, Jinxiu will only go to one person.

So Zhang Zhaodi discussed with Jinxiu, prepared another set in X City, rented a house, and when she got married, Jinxiu would marry from there.

Zhang Zhaodi and Jiang Shan discussed and arranged these things, and there was no need for Jinxiu to worry about them.

Jinxiu only needs to look at anything missing and make up for it.

The time was in Jinxiu while busy with classes, while busy with the affairs of the store, and took the time to make up the dowry and hurriedly slipped.

In the blink of an eye, it's the end of May.

There is less than a week left until the wedding.

Jinxiu and Gu Nianhua have to go to X City a few days in advance, although the parents of both sides have to worry about the wedding, but some things have to be done by themselves.

For example, a marriage certificate.

Before these things, there are two things that must be done, that is, go back to the countryside to burn paper for Zhang Zhaodi and entertain friends here in City A for a wedding banquet.

For the important event of marriage, the ancestors of the family must be notified first. The wedding feast will not be carried out until the paper is burned.

Jinxiu broke off her relationship with the Zhang family, so she was just a deceased relative like Zhang Yulan.

After Gu Nianhua asked for leave with the troops, he took Jinxiu back to L City and burned paper for Zhang Yulan.
