Chapter 434: Gifts
In the first month, Old Man Xia is very busy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he is helpful, has prestige in Daxingzhuang, and has good popularity. In the first month, many families have treats, and many of them are indispensable. Old Man Xia went to the banquet every day, and when he came back, he was always full of red light and happy. Tian Fugui's family and Mrs. Wu's family had a treat, and Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish followed.
In the midst of this busyness, the Xia family also handled another major event.
Sun Si'er had long been in love with the eldest brother of the Chen family, and after the two families got in touch with each other through the bridge of the Xia family, the Chen family felt that Sun Si'er was quite a good person, and Sun Xiu'er was indeed a handsome and capable good girl. Sun Xiuer and the eldest brother of the Chen family have also met several times and talked. Teenagers and girls don't have any opinions about each other.
Both parties were very interested, so they invited Tian Fugui to be a matchmaker, and the two sides officially looked at each other and decided to marry in the first month. Although the matchmaker is Tian Fugui, the place of meeting is still in the Xia family, and the Xia family is also responsible for entertaining.
The day of seeing each other and making a marriage was chosen on the tenth day of the first month.
The Chen family and Sun Si'er are both people on the scene, and they are willing to spend money on things. One came with half a fan of pork a day in advance, and the other came in a car the same day, and brought down baskets of fruit from the car, as well as fresh fish that had just broken the ice and fished out of the lake.
The Xia family naturally wants to save face for the two families. Xia Zhi informed Shopkeeper Li in advance, and still invited the chef of Juxian Restaurant to come, and set up a stove shed in the courtyard to prepare a banquet in full swing.
A group of large and small radish heads were playing and laughing in the courtyard, and there were indeed people from the Chen family and the Sun family in the upper house, as well as Old Man Xia and Tian Fugui, and the big guys were talking and laughing.
The Chen family and Sun Si'er are both hot people, and since they are very happy in their hearts, they will not be crooked. The Chen family prepared a rich gift, and the wedding date was given to Sun Si'er on the spot.
Zhuang families generally do not do things when the farm is busy, so the marriage date of the eldest brother of the Chen family and Sun Xiu'er is set in the wax moon. At that time, it was the peak period for farming and marriage.
Sun Xiu'er is only fifteen years old, and in Xia Zhi's opinion, Sun Xiu'er is still a middle school student, and falling in love is considered early love. But in this era, there are not many girls who become daughters-in-law at the age of fourteen. Xia Zhi had no choice but to follow the customs, in fact, now she has slowly accepted these in her heart.
The customs of Beizhen Mansion are one year older after the New Year. Sun Xiu'er's fifteenth birthday has not yet arrived, even if she waits until Layue, she will only be fifteen years old. As soon as she married into the Chen family, she was the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Chen family. Although there are two layers of mother-in-law on it, she slowly has to take responsibility.
I have to say that the teenagers and girls of this era are relatively precocious. Sun Xiu'er is used to being the eldest sister at home, and she should be able to handle it very well when she arrives at the Chen family. The Chen family's willingness to set Sun Xiu'er is largely because of her.
The landlord's house and yard in the backyard of the Chen family are lively, and the west house is much quieter. Sun Xiu'er sat upright on the kang, and the little girls were either on the kang or sitting on the stools and chairs on the ground, although everyone was talking and laughing, but they were much quieter.
On the day of the marriage, the two people who were married were not in the same place. The eldest brother of the Chen family was watching the little radish heads with Xia Qiao and the second brother of the Chen family in the courtyard.
The very rich little boy who was jumping around the eldest brother of the Chen family, wearing satin clothes and a blue silk hat, was Sun Xiu'er's younger brother. The eldest brother of the Chen family naturally didn't say anything to his brother-in-law, he was used to bringing his younger brothers and sisters, and he won the brother-in-law's heart after leading his brother-in-law to play for a while.
Sun Xiuer only has two sisters and brothers, and she usually takes her younger brother with her, so naturally she can't play so many tricks as the eldest brother of the Chen family. Sun Xiu'er was talking to the big guy, and the corner of her eye often looked into the yard. She didn't look at others, so she followed the eldest brother of the Chen family and her younger brother.
Seeing her younger brother and future husband playing so well, the smile on Sun Xiu'er's face became even sweeter.
Although it is a marriage decided by their parents, the eldest brother of the Chen family and Sun Xiuer can be regarded as looking at each other correctly and are a pair of lovers.
In this era, there are naturally blind marriages and dumb marriages, whether they are from a village or a wealthy family. However, there are many marriages like this that are more humane, and this is true for all classes.
Chen Xing'er was also sitting on the kang, and she was closest to Sun Xiu'er. Sun Xiuer is also willing to work hard to please her future sister-in-law, and the tempers of the two are very compatible. Sun Xiu'er treats Chen Xing'er well, and Chen Xing'er is also willing to get close to Sun Xiu'er. At this time, Sun Xiuer was holding a handkerchief and folding patterns for Chen Xing'er.
Sun Xiu'er's younger brother ran in, still holding a bowl full of croquettes. This is the meatballs that have just come out of the pot, all of them are small ~ clever ~ delicate ~ long, golden and fragrant, which is the chef of Juxian Restaurant. Sun Xiu'er's younger brother smiled and let Sun Xiu'er eat meatballs.
Sun Xiu'er quickly glanced out the window. The eldest brother of the Chen family was looking into the house in the courtyard near the windowsill. The young girl's gaze touched slightly, and they immediately looked away.
Sun Xiu'er knew that this must be the eldest brother of the Chen family who asked his younger brother to send balls to eat for himself. Although her fiancé's heart made her heart very sweet, this was not their own home after all, and there were so many little girls present.
Sun Xiu'er's face turned red and she glared at her younger brother. Even if the eldest brother of the Chen family wants her to eat the meatballs that have just come out of the pot, he should let someone else send them. It's too conspicuous to have your brother send it over.
After all, the eldest brother of the Chen family is still a teenager, and he just wants to please his fiancée, and he does things a little deliberately and eagerly.
But it's also a lot of fun.
The summer solstice is on the side and sees everything in the eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled, then reached out to take the balls, and praised Sun Xiu'er's younger brother a few words, saying that he was very caring.
"I smelled the fragrance just now, and we just wanted to eat this meatball. Then she gave the balls to the little girls present.
Layue is her own family, and she is afraid that other little girls will be embarrassed to eat, so she set an example first. Sure enough, when the little girls saw that Layue had eaten, they all smiled and stretched out their hands.
Then Xia Zhi stuffed the bowl of balls into Sun Xiu'er's hand.
Sun Xiu'er glanced at Xia Zhi and guessed that Xia Zhi must have known. Her face was even redder, and it was not easy to put down the bowl in her hand, and it was not good to hold it like that.
Xia Zhi laughed first, and then the other little girls also realized something and laughed along.
The smile was full of kindness.
Although Sun Xiuer is shy, she has always been cheerful and generous. To this extent, she also let go. May is here, and he refuses to let Sun Xiuer go like this.
"Oh, the eldest brother of the Chen family is looking at him outside. He wanted to bring food to his daughter-in-law, so why didn't he come in by himself, and sent his brother-in-law here. May smiled, and at the same time, she pleaded with Sun Xiu'er's younger brother and asked him to call the eldest brother of the Chen family into the house to talk.
Sun Xiu'er's face turned red again, but she still glared at her younger brother, with a warning threat in her eyes. Sun Xiu'er's younger brother is not stupid, and he knows that he can't call his brother-in-law at this time. So he yelled, "I'm not screaming!" and ran out.
There was another burst of laughter in the room.
Sun Xiu'er ran out and pounced on the eldest brother of the Chen family. This child has no brother, so he is very rare to have his brother-in-law.
"It would be nice to live close. May spoke. If the Chen family lives close, the eldest brother of the Chen family can bring more brother-in-law in the future, and he can also help the old man's family.
"It's not far away. Chen Xing'er couldn't listen to the slightest bad words, so she retorted May, "Both of us have cars, and it doesn't take half a day to get there, and nothing is delayed." My mother said that in the future, my sister-in-law can live in her mother's house whenever she wants. My sister-in-law's younger brother is happy to stay in our house for as long as he wants. ”
Obviously, the Chen family usually talks about this issue, so Chen Xing'er will say it so smoothly.
Sun Xiu'er's face was not so red, and there was a smile in her eyes.
May is just watching others happy, so it is in her nature to find something missing. was choked by Chen Xing'er, and she didn't have a seizure at that time.
Sun Xiu'er is not easy to mess with.
"That's good. Sister Xiu'er is blessed. May said with a smile.
At noon, a banquet was set up in the upper room of the backyard of the Xia family, everyone ate happily, the old man of the Chen family and Sun Si'er were drunk, and they did not disperse until the evening.
During the first month, there are many things to do in each family. Although the old man Xia tried his best to keep it, the old man of the Chen family and his party still did not stay, and left at night.
Everyone dispersed, and Old Man Xia's joy did not disperse at all. He likes to be ~ a beautiful thing in this way. And he also believes in some old orders, and thinks that achieving a marriage is quite a good thing.
The eldest brother of the Chen family and Sun Xiu'er got married, and the Xia family had nothing to do in the first month. They have decided that they will go to Fucheng on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, but who will take them to Fucheng will have to be discussed.
Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia and Little Black Fish will definitely go. Then there is Xia Qiao and Little Tree. Uncle Xia's Layue and Chen Xing'er are also bound to go.
Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San took the initiative to stay and watch the house. But Xiao Xia Lin was eager to go. Aunt Xia San felt that if Xiao Xialin went, she would definitely have to be taken care of by Mrs. Xia, and felt that Xiao Xialin would cause trouble for the big guys, so she didn't let Xiao Xialin go.
"We'll go back later. Your sixteenth sister is in Fucheng, so we can go whenever we want in the future. Aunt Xia San coaxed Xiao Xia Lin.
No matter how sensible Xiao Xia Lin is, he is only a child of a few years old. Then he cried. It's still want to go.
"You two take care of the house, I'll take Xiaolinzi with me. Mrs. Xia couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly said.
"Mother, you must have a lot of trouble there. I still have to take care of Xiaolong, Xiaolin is too young, if he is a few years older, it doesn't matter if he knows a little bit about things. …… I won't let him go this time. ”
Xiao Xia Lin was aggrieved. His little head turned quite fast, so he walked to Xia Zhi's side with his little short legs, hugged Xia Zhi's legs, and he didn't speak.
The summer solstice can't stand this. "Then bring Xiao Linzi with you. Me and Layue, we can also take care of him. Otherwise, the third aunt, you can also go with us, and let my third uncle take care of the house. ”
Aunt Xia San was a little hesitant. She still has to discuss it with Uncle Xia again, and then she has to see whether Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia are happy or not.
As for Second Uncle Xia's share, Xia Zhi originally thought that they must be the most troublesome, and they all had to rush to Fucheng. However, Old Man Xia said a word to Second Uncle Xia, and asked Second Uncle Xia to put his mind on living a good life. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, there were people at the big market in Linshui Town.
Old Man Xia meant not to let Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia go, let them stay at home to take care of the house, and then go to the market to do business, so that they could save more money, and living a normal life is one thing, and then they have to prepare to do things for Xia Zhu and Guo Yuhuan.
Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia agreed without much arguing. In May and July, they were not asked to follow to Fucheng. Second Aunt Xia asked Mrs. Xia to bring Xia Yang with her.
"If we don't go, let Xiao Yang follow his grandfather, his grandmother and his sister to Fucheng to enjoy a few days of happiness. ”
Mrs. Xia is not easy to refuse.
Xia Zhi felt that Aunt Xia's face was too big, but she didn't speak, she just glanced at Old Man Xia.
Old Man Xia coughed dryly: "How old is Xiao Yang, there are a lot of things to do in Fucheng this time, what should I do if I can't see what happened to him at a glance." This kid was scared in Fucheng last time, you should be a mother with more heart, take him well, don't leave anything wrong. ”
Although Aunt Xia was dissatisfied with his words, she had to accept it in the end.
"My second uncle's family has stayed to take care of the house, so let my third uncle and three aunts go. Xia Zhi said, "When I arrive in Fucheng, what can my third uncle do to help Zhang Luo outside." ”
Born into a family, uncles should be present. Second Uncle Xia doesn't go, only Xia Xiucai is not very good, and Third Uncle Xia had better go in person.
Old Man Xia also thought of this: "Then the third child should also follow." ”
The candidate to go to Fucheng was decided in this way.
Then, it's a matter of courtesy.
The Xia family has been divided, and it is not possible to give only one share to Changsheng as a gift, but one for each share. The other strands had already had everything ready. Only Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia are still putting on makeup.
Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia thought well. The things they went to Luotun'er a few days ago were all prepared by the old couple. The old couple received a lot of gifts a few years ago and the New Year, and a little bit of anything was enough for them to give the immortal gift.
But this time, Old Man Xia doesn't seem to be planning to pay for them.
"You're just such a nephew. For such a big thing as getting married, you don't go, and you can get the courtesy. Old Man Xia asked Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia what they had prepared for Changsheng.
Aunt Xia didn't say anything.
Second Uncle Xia couldn't put on makeup anymore, he blinked his eyes, and simply cried to Old Man Xia cheekily: "...... Stalled with such a poor uncle as me. Dad, what can I come up with? I will take out all the money of my family and give it as a gift, and I will also lose the immortal people. Daddy, you're ......."
Second Uncle Xia's eyes slipped to the cabinet. The implication is obvious.
Old Man Xia just didn't understand.
Second Uncle Xia couldn't help it: "Dad, otherwise, you will always put it on for me first." I'll make some money later......"
